Ike nodded, knowing that the Chief of Guards is his ultimate goal. He has naturally learned about the current Chief of Guards through various channels, of course, mainly relying on the mouth of the storyteller.
This chief guard of the king often followed His Majesty in the north and south.
Even in a certain period of time, whenever he heard the name of the chief guard from the storyteller, Ike couldn't help muttering, 'Sooner or later it will be replaced! '
By the way, he also heard this sentence from the storyteller...
Chef Catman obviously didn't know that his silly nephew would be so rich in inner activities at this time, just listen to him continue to speak...
"In addition to protecting His Majesty's safety, Your Majesty Wang also often has to do things for His Majesty. At the same time, His Majesty's daily schedule, adjustments, orders, and other matters, as the Chief of Guards, have to be handled."
Having said that, Chef Cat Man raised his head and glanced at Ike, who was already full of guilt, and then asked indifferently...
"So, are you doing these things well? You can't read a single word, why did His Majesty accept you?"
"Pricked, pierced my heart, uncle..."
At this moment, Ike, who was completely unable to refute the words of the catman chef, pulled down his raised cat ears at this moment.
"Then, let's report one."
Hearing this, Chef Cat Man chuckled inwardly, but on the surface he gave a neutral 'hmm'.
"In the past few months, I will stay in the store and help out. Next spring, I will go to school directly."
"help?"
While speaking, Ike glanced at the store, obviously, he had no interest in being a chef or a waiter.
Chef Catman rolled his eyes and glanced at Ike who was sitting there.
"Ike, you are an adult, don't you still want to stay at home and eat free food?"
"Uh, okay..."

Chapter 1006, New Development
During this period of time, Luo Ji's continuous invasion battles obviously did not affect the development of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms.
As the invaded party, John Sal didn't seem to have any intention of fighting against the invasion.
Luo Ji knew that the other party was afraid of him.
To be more precise, he was afraid of his real purpose.
If he mobilized troops without authorization to fight an anti-invasion war, he might be able to take advantage of it.
In order to avoid this situation from happening, facing Luo Ji's successive invasions, John Sal took the city defense battle seriously.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that Luo Ji and John Sal have fought six battles until now.
Probably because of his bad luck recently, several of the invasions reached the repeated border.
This made him play six games until he finally figured out all the four borders on the opposite side.
As for the victories of the six invasions, Luo Ji won two and lost four, obviously more losses than losses.
But Luo Ji himself wasn't too depressed about this winning-losing ratio, and John Sal wasn't happy at all.
Because for Luo Ji, although he was defeated in the invasion battle, he didn't suffer much substantial losses, and he also achieved his goal.
As for John Sal, although he won, he didn't earn much benefit at all. In comparison, his intelligence was almost figured out by the Chinese player opposite him!
Flipping through the notebook in his hand that was already filled with intelligence information, Luo Ji at this moment was sorting out the thoughts in his mind, and at the same time, making arrangements for the next thing.
At this moment, Zhou Cang, who was walking quickly into the hall, was visibly refreshed by the news he brought.
"Is the cannon improved?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, according to the news from the Ordnance Research Department, a new type of cannon is currently being tested outside the city."
"Go, go and see!"
Luo Ji was undoubtedly very concerned about the improvement progress of the cannon.
It has been almost three to four years since the cannon was made.
During this period, as a master of ordnance, Ye Xuan naturally knew the weakness of cannons.
But at the same time, she also saw the potential for development from the weapon of the cannon!
There was no need for Luo Ji to say anything more, Michelle Ye, who had keenly grasped this point, had already devoted herself to the follow-up improvement work of the cannon.
Especially after learning that the cannons of the Dwarves civilization were better than the cannons of their Myriad Worlds civilization in terms of range, power and accuracy, it seemed as if they had competed with each other across the air. Michelle Ye suddenly became I worked harder.
During this period, Zhang Ze (the goblin's chief ordnance engineer), who was another deputy director of the Ordnance Research Department, naturally assisted.
In the past two or three years, the cannons of the Myriad Realms Civilization have been officially improved at least ten times. As for the number of small changes and experiments in private, it is estimated that they are too numerous to count.
However, this area is unfamiliar to them after all.
Even Luo Ji, who is a modern person, doesn't know much about cannons, so it is difficult for him to offer any constructive suggestions for the improvement of cannons.
Little by little, I had to rely on Ye Xuan and Zhang Ze to slowly explore bit by bit.
In other words, the time has come to strive for talent.
And Xuan Ye and Zhang Ze did not disappoint Luo Ji. From the initial effective range of only a little over 100 meters to over 200 meters later, the stability, accuracy and power of the shells became higher and higher. Luo Ji could see his progress.
As for this time, the improvement of the cannon seemed to be a major breakthrough, otherwise, just a small improvement would not have alarmed Luo Ji.
For a while, Luo Ji felt a little more anticipation.
Outside the Mirror City, there is an area specially designated for the Ordnance Research Department to allow them to experiment with some threatening weapons.
Luo Ji arrived here on fast horses with a group of guards.
Headed by Ye Xuan, Zhang Ze, and Zhao Lei, the members of the Ordnance Research Department who had been waiting here for a long time, when they saw Luo Ji's arrival, they immediately stood up and saluted...
"We welcome Your Majesty!"
"It's all free."
With a big wave of his hand, Luo Ji signaled everyone to skip all the red tape.
He can't wait to see how powerful the improved cannon will be!
Regarding this, Michelle Ye was naturally unambiguous.
After answering, he hurriedly led Luo Ji and ran towards his latest achievement with an expression of excitement.
Zhang Ze and Zhao Lei, who were following behind, were sweating profusely.
In the vast test site, a cannon has already been placed there.
Looking at the appearance, to be honest, Luo Ji couldn't see anything special about it, but he knew that this wasn't the point.
Raising the binoculars in his hand and looking into the distance, he saw that several thick metal plates had been piled up in order according to the distance in the test site!
These metal plates look simple, but they are actually exquisite.
In actual combat, a unit that is too small does not need to be bombarded with cannons, but a unit that is too large cannot reflect the accuracy of cannons.
Therefore, in order to conduct a relatively accurate test of the range, power, and accuracy of the cannon in this experiment, the size and hardness of the metal plate must be just right.
The troublesome requirements here also cost the blacksmiths of the craftsman department a lot of work.
At the same time, words such as 100 meters, 200 meters, 250 meters, and 300 meters are marked in detail next to the metal plates used as cannon targets.
Without ambiguity, he decisively signaled the professional artillerymen to operate.
Skilled movements, let them get ready in no time.
Then he turned to Luo Ji to ask whether to fire.
In response, Luo Ji nodded slightly, and while covering his ears, he opened his mouth slightly.
Seeing this, the guards behind him followed suit.
Soon, a deafening roar resounded throughout the wilderness.
The shells that flew out with gunpowder smoke and flames first hit the metal plate at a position of 100 meters.
Under the joint improvement of Ye Xuan and Zhang Ze, the hit rate of the cannon within 100 meters is quite high.
In the face of this tyrannical shelling, accompanied by another loud noise that almost caused a cardiac arrest, the metal plate 100 meters away was completely blasted out on the spot.
Although he hadn't stepped forward to make a further detailed confirmation, Luo Ji estimated that the destructive power of the cannon within 100 meters probably surpassed that of the three-bow bed crossbow through his visual inspection at that moment!
The update is here, and thanks to the book friends 'Willow Tree Wants to Sprout', 'Outside the Great Wall', 'AXG', 'Written Liu' for their monthly tickets!
Chapter 1007: Luo Ji's Tangle
The presence of His Majesty the Emperor made the members of the Ordnance Research Department extremely excited.
In the test site outside Mingjing City, the sound of roaring artillery fire continued, blasting away the cannon targets set up in the distance one by one, showing the power and accuracy that satisfied Luo Ji.
Just now, the metal plate 300 meters away has been blown away by a bombardment with great precision.
At that moment, all the members of the Ordnance Research Department present couldn't help cheering loudly.
This is a new breakthrough, which proves that the cannons of their Ten Thousand Realms civilization have officially extended their effective range to 300 meters while ensuring their power and hit rate!
During the shelling test, the four metal plates that were blown away were quickly sent to Luo Ji one by one.
The surrounding members of the Ordnance Research Department headed by Ye Xuan also gathered around one after another, wanting to further confirm the power of the shelling.
These metal plates, when seen from a distance, are not big, but when they are delivered to the eyes, they are found to be like small walls.
Among them, the metal plate standing 100 meters away was undoubtedly the most damaged.
The entire metal plate has been pierced!At the same time, there are obvious cracks scattered around.
The piece at 200 meters was slightly penetrated.
The piece at 250 meters has not been pierced, but the whole metal plate has also been twisted and deformed.
The piece at the last 300 meters is obviously the most complete, but the surface has also been obviously deformed by the shells.
Exhaling a long breath, Luo Ji kicked the last metal plate, feeling the hard touch that came back. There is no doubt that Luo Ji is satisfied with the power of the cannon this time.
300 meters away, the metal plate can be bombarded and deformed, and the destructive power caused to the city wall is definitely considerable.
"How stable is this cannon? How much will it cost to produce?"
Facing Luo Ji's question, Zhao Lei, the deputy director of the Ordnance Research Department who was waiting at the side, quickly handed over a document in his hand respectfully.
After turning two pages, Luo Ji frowned slightly.
The cost is really not cheap. Although it can be produced stably, the production cycle is obviously longer than that of the three-bow bed crossbow and the return cannon.
At the same time, the value of gunpowder and artillery shells, which are consumables, is obviously more than that of heavy crossbow bolts and stone shells of return guns...
To put it simply, one word, expensive!
Put these three pieces of siege equipment as firepower output together for comparison.
The three-bow bed crossbow undoubtedly has an advantage in terms of range.
As for the return gun, it is less advantageous. In terms of range, it is already half a catty.
At the same time, the attack trajectory of the return gun has an obvious large-arc parabola. In other words, in terms of accuracy control, it is not as good as the cannon, not to mention the power...
After much deliberation, Luo Ji called Xuan Ye over.
"How much time will it take to increase the effective range of the cannon to more than 400 meters under the premise of ensuring power and accuracy?"
Facing this question, Michelle Ye's two willow leaf-like eyebrows frowned immediately.
"Well, Your Majesty, this is really uncertain."
Well, Luo Ji also knows that this kind of thing does not mean that he can strengthen it if he wants to.
Researchers need inspiration and need to find a breakthrough.
After this experiment, maybe Michelle Ye suddenly had a flash of inspiration on the way back to the city, and she had another idea.
But it is also possible that a year and a half have passed without any movement.
And Luo Ji's mood is also very complicated now, he is afraid that Michelle Ye will not be inspired, but also afraid that Michelle Ye will suddenly have a flash of inspiration.
If he now gives an order to start mass production of cannons.
