Chapter 638: A New Type of Cannonball
Originally, Liu Suifeng and they were so good, they simply regarded this trip as an expedition, and they had no intention of fighting anyone at all, but now they didn't expect that even so, they were attacked by others.
Then since this is the case, Liu Suifeng and they have no choice but to fight with this navy warship.
It's just that because I didn't think that this navy's warship would attack them before, and after the guns of this navy's warship aimed at them, they still made a lot of futile explanations, trying to tell those navy that they were not pirates, but now I didn't expect that others didn't care whether you were a pirate or not, as if they were going to compete with them to find this cave with a hole in the sky, and they were all going to attack them, even if they weren't pirates.
And it seems that some navies are also very well-trained, and the first round of shooting was a cannon shot, which flew directly to the direction where Liu Suifeng and the others were standing.
This kind of shelling, if it is said to hit the ship, it is indeed very wounded, but it is still not fatal, and the hull itself is very durable, but if this kind of artillery fire hits people head-on, it is troublesome.
Don't say it's not ordinary, even Liu Suifeng, a very powerful person, can't withstand a blow, after all, the power generated by this kind of explosion is caused by even the top powerhouse among the martial artists.
Basically, if you hit it directly, no one can withstand it at all.
But now, it was such a dangerous shell, which flew directly in the direction where Liu Suifeng and the others were.
Because Liu Suifeng didn't expect a battle at all before, they were basically all standing in one place, and if they hit it with a cannonball on their backs, not to mention that it would be a pot immediately, but at least they would die a lot.
And this naval captain saw that his gunner was so accurate, and he also glanced at that gunner with great appreciation.
Sure enough, this captain really has an impression of this gunner, this accurate gunner is very hard working in his usual training, and he still doesn't even let go of his spare time, in his spare time, other navies are generally relaxing or doing other personal things of their own, but only this accurate gunner is still constantly studying various techniques about gunnery even in his private time, and it can be said that he really loves gunnery.
So now it is to see that this cannon was fired by this accurate gunner, and the naval captain is naturally not too surprised, after all, after seeing the perfect arc of this shell when it leaves the muzzle, the naval captain basically knows who fired this cannon.
And the captain of the Navy still found that this shell was the latest type of artillery shell with the most powerful lethality that they had just developed.
In the past, the oldest artillery shell was a solid iron ball, which was not even filled with gunpowder, but later the technology was gradually upgraded, and only then did the shell be filled with gunpowder and exploded after hitting the target.
And now their latest type of artillery shell is even more powerful than the previous explosive shell, which was already very powerful.
This latest type of cannonball, on the basis of filling the cannonball with gunpowder, has added many small steel balls in the shell, and on the surface of the cannonball, it is also divided into an appearance similar to a pineapple bag, which also makes the shell burst open after the gunpowder inside explodes, and it will also cause damage to the enemy.
Although many new things have been added to this kind of fragmentation shell, the size of the shell itself has not changed, so the amount of gunpowder filled in it has been reduced, and the explosion power is much weaker than that of the previous simple explosive shell.
However, the weak power of the explosion does not necessarily mean that the lethality is weak.
This fragmentation shell, which has a weaker explosion power, will cause a fragmentation attack in the form of a scattered flower almost from the Heavenly Maiden, which is an even greater threat to the living force.
And because the explosion power has become smaller, it is also a more unique advantage than the previous simple explosive shells, that is, when attacking the enemy ship, because the explosion power is not large, but the lethality to people is greater, so in many cases, all the enemies have been destroyed, but it has not caused much damage to the human warship.
If you change to the simple explosive shells of the past, it is estimated that even if you blow up and sink the enemy's warship, you may not be able to completely destroy all the enemies.
Therefore, compared with the two, a simple explosive shell, even if it is defeated, will basically sink the enemy's ship, even if it is not blown up, it is at least seriously injured, and the cost of dragging it back for re-repair is not as good as directly building a new one, so basically after World War I, it is basically impossible to take over the enemy's ship.
But this kind of fragmentation shell is different, while effectively killing and injuring the enemy's vital force, it can also maintain the maximum protection of the hull, so this point is different from a simple explosive shell, many times after the end of the battle, the enemy's ship is often only slightly wounded, and even sometimes it can be directly taken over without repair to continue the battle.
So in such a comparison, everyone can see which one is better between the two shells.
And the attack of this fragmentation shell is basically not something that humans can defend against, after all, this pervasive attack is much more difficult than the previous simple explosive shell.
This naval captain is also glad, fortunately, before this departure, he was already equipped with this latest cannonball, so he achieved such amazing results in the previous battle with pirates and others.
Basically, just like now, just hitting a cannonball into a pile of people is basically the end of the battle.
Now seeing that this cannonball landed so accurately in the crowd of Liu Suifeng and several people, they only felt that everything was over.
Liu Suifeng and the others also panicked when they saw a cannonball flying towards them like this.
