Finally, Cheng Chumo put down the 'eggplant', Xiao Tang hurriedly grabbed it, glared at him and scolded hatefully: "Lao Tzu said your uncle, can this thing play so much with you, you want to kill Lao Tzu!" ”

"Your second uncle, isn't it just an 'eggplant'." Cheng Chumo didn't care if his uncle was killed or not, anyway, he didn't have an uncle, but he was unhappy to look at Xiao Tang, so he had to fight back.

Li Chengqian saw that the two of them didn't know what would happen if they continued to make trouble, so he hurriedly stopped them, coughed and said, "You two are almost fine, and there are so many people watching, don't feel ashamed!" ”

"He scolded me first!" Cheng Chu said unrelentingly.

"Okay, a slap doesn't make a sound." Li Chengqian didn't have the heart to give these two people a lawsuit, rolled his eyes at Xiao Cheng, and then said to Tang Shanzhi: "I think this cannonball should be like a bow and arrow, equipped with two pairs of balance wings, otherwise you hit this thing out, God knows where it will fall." ”

"Impossible, do you want this thing to be as accurate as an arrow?" Speaking of professional knowledge, Tang Shanzhi didn't care about arguing with Cheng Chu silently, and said with some uncertainty while holding the cannonball: "This thing is like you said, it is fired by hanging, even if it is accurately estimated, it can't control the direction." ”

"What I'm telling you is not a thing at all, I mean there is no way to fire a shell like yours, are you going to blow up the sky yourself after it hits the ground?"

"Why can't it explode?" Xiao Tang still didn't understand what Li Chengqian meant.

Li Chengqian grabbed a stone from the ground, threw it into the sky, watched the stone roll down, and signaled to Xiao Tang: "Because it will turn its head in the sky, and it is not necessarily a big head when it lands, so the fuse in front of it has become a waste, understand?" ”

Vaguely, Xiao Tang also sensed that something was not right, looked at the cannonball in his arms, and then looked at the stones on the ground.

"Don't look at it, change it, it's easy to change a bullet shell." Li Chengqian patted Xiao Tang You's shoulder and comforted him.

"Then you have to try it, and it's hard to get five." Xiao Tang seemed to be a little unwilling, looked at the cannonball in his arms again, and said with some regret.

"Cheng, you are the director, you have the final say, anyway, it has already been built, and it is not bad to try the power."

"Great." Tang Shan saw that Li Chengqian did not fight back, so he immediately summoned the test gunners who were waiting on the side, and handed him the shells: "Fight well, shoot on time." ”

"Yes." The guy who tested the cannon was also stunned, and he didn't care whether this thing was safe or not, so he took the shell from Xiao Tang's hand and turned around and left, and at the end he didn't forget to take the four on the ground together.

After the simple preparations, Li Chengqian, Xiao Tang and their entourage had already taken refuge in a one-room concrete house at the test site, looking at the situation outside with a telescope through a very small square hole.

No matter what time it is, the life of the chief is the heaviest, although Li Chengqian does not reject the view that everyone is equal, but who doesn't like a little privilege, especially when Datang has been mixed up for more than ten years, he has become accustomed to this kind of safety first behavior.

Cheng Chumo is a virtue with his Lao Tzu, although he entered the concrete room of the anti-artillery room, but he chattered endlessly, saying that it was better to see it clearly from the outside, but Li Chengqian and Xiao Tang all thought that he was exhausting, and no one paid attention to him.

……

Outside the small room, the gunner wiped the shell like his own child, and then watched the guy bow to God, and then stuffed the shell into the barrel without hesitation.

With a "tom", a thin layer of dust rose on the ground under the barrel.

"What's the situation? That's it? Xiao Cheng Muran, who was staring intently at the outside, turned his head.

The mortar is fired differently from a normal artillery, it is not so loud when fired, and its firing only sends the shell out of the chamber through the force of a part of the gunpowder, rather than exploding directly.

"Look!" Xiao Tang was obviously dissatisfied with Cheng Chumo's ignorance, and glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly.

But that seemed to end the conversation, for about five hundred paces in the distance there was a sudden earth-shattering noise, followed by a splash of earth, apparently the shell had been crooked, and had not hit the test site eight hundred paces away.

But even so, it made Cheng Chumo's mouth open wide, and cold sweat began to emerge on the top of his head.

"Your uncle, now you know how dangerous your behavior is just now, if you miss a mistake, all of us will go to see the emperor." Tang Shanzhi took advantage of the time for the gunner to load the second shell, patted Xiao Cheng's shoulder and said.

"This thing, this thing is so enjoyable!" Cheng Chumo didn't care about arguing with Xiao Tang at this time, he sniffed excitedly, and said to Li Chengqian: "I said Gao Ming, when will this thing equip the troops?" ”

"Don't think about it for the time being, these are all used as strategic reserves, that is, we have this thing, but for the time being, except for the forbidden army, other troops will not be equipped." Li Chengqian spread his hands.

"Huh? Not equipping the troops? Cheng Chumo didn't know how to express the 'shock' in his heart.

Yes, it was shock, he couldn't understand why such a good thing should be equipped for the forbidden army's cowards who only knew how to walk the right way, while the regular troops still had to use the old artillery of the past.

However, Li Chengqian did not give him any explanation, because just now, the second test shell did not go off and fell to the ground.

Xiao Tang glanced at Li Chengqian with some embarrassment, and seemed to understand why the shell should be equipped with a tail fin.

After all, the charge of mortar shells is not comparable with normal shells, and normal shells have a large initial velocity because of their large charges, and they will not easily change their trajectory after being discharged.

However, the mortar is not good, the smaller charge means that it cannot obtain a higher muzzle velocity at all, coupled with its hanging attack method, it is destined to be unable to land with a warhead when it lands, so it is inevitable to install a tail.

……

In the end, only two of the five shells were fired, and the other three unexpectedly fell to the ground either horizontally or upside down, without triggering the front fuse at all.

With a success rate of 40%, it has won the burden of refurnace transformation.

Cheng Chumo scoffed at such a result, thinking that Xiao Tang was alarmist just now, and Tang Shanzhi was not embarrassed, and secretly rejoiced that only Cheng Chumo came alone, if there were a few more squirts, it was estimated that there would be no need for this day in the future.
