After receiving his final chance from General Ma, Captain Li studied day and night, neglecting his food and sleep. Reviewing the lessons of his first two failures, he thoroughly optimized the Catapult. Not only did he redesign the wheel structure for greater stability, but he also installed a simple wind-direction measuring device to adjust the launching angle in real time according to the wind.
After several days of hard work, the new Catapult was finally modified and completed. This time, Captain Li had also ingeniously prepared incendiary bombs, intending to give everyone a surprise.
On the day of the test, the atmosphere in the military camp was exceptionally tense. General Ma stood with a stern expression in the center of the training ground, surrounded by soldiers. Everyone looked on curiously at the Catapult, wondering if Captain Li would succeed this time.
