Chapter 500: Tang San looked at the artillery, his eyes widened

With such a load, it is impossible to act quickly, let alone follow behind a powerful soul saint.

In the crowd, one of the commanders of the Tang family army shouted: "Lord Soul Master, wait a minute, we can't run that fast!" ”

Ahead, Flender heard a shout, and only then did he react and slow down.

However, he was still impatient, anxious to bring back the captured artillery, and at the same time wanted to see what kind of power the cannon could use.

Therefore, he turned his head to look at the commander with a hint of urgency.

"Try to be as fast as you can, don't get pursued by the enemy."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

The commander's chest rose and fell slightly, and he hurriedly replied.

After some time, Flender led a group of Tang family troops to successfully return to the Star Luo Empire military camp.

As soon as he entered the barracks, he hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army, and he didn't even bother to drink saliva.

However, what Flender didn't notice was that the newly formed Tang Family Army he brought back was more than half the number compared to when he first set off!

Of course, now Flender was so overwhelmed by the joy of the captured artillery that he didn't look at it at all.

Entering the big tent of the Chinese army, there were only Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing in the tent.

Flender was pleasantly surprised to see the two.

"Mu Bai, Zhuqing, I got the artillery of the Martial Spirit Empire!"

"What?!"

Dai Mubai stood up suddenly, his face full of joy.

After that, the three of them came out of the camp tent and called Tang San, Yu Linglong and a few others.

The group came to a slightly calmer area, and Flender reached out and wiped it on his soul guide.

"Boom!"

The ground roared and trembled, blades of grass flew around it, and a large object appeared on the ground.

It was a pitch-black behemoth with a long tube measuring 4.5 meters and mounted on a frame mounted on rubber wheels.

The frame and tubes are made of steel, and the two rubber wheels sink slightly into the soft mud, giving it a sense of heaviness.

Among them, the pipe was quite large, more than five inches wide, majestic and impressive.

Martial Soul Empire's powerful weapons, artillery!

At this time, it was just early in the morning, and there was a touch of fish belly white in the east, the orange-yellow early sun light was sprinkled, and the artillery barrel was glowing with some bright reflections, and the smooth luster was so eye-catching.

Among the several people, Yu Linglong looked at the artillery, her face full of joy and affirmation.

"Yes, this is artillery, Dean, you are so powerful!"

Affirming his own student's affirmation, Flender triumphantly touched the not very long beard on his chin.

"That is, I don't want to know who your dean is? What is so me in this world? ”

"What about the cannonballs?"

Yu Linglong hurriedly asked again.

"Don't be so anxious!"

Flender gave a white look, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his soul guide, the ground shook again, and two huge wooden boxes appeared next to the artillery.

It was two boxes of slightly conical objects, with a slightly pointed head and a round bottom, and the whole body was pitch black, neatly stacked in wooden boxes.

Wuhun Empire standard ammunition, 155 mm high-explosive shells!

Flender looked at the two boxes of shells curiously, and looked up to ask Yu Linglong.

"Linglong, I got the artillery and shells back, how to use it?"

Flender had never seen artillery before, let alone used.

At the scene, the rest of the people also looked at Yu Linglong with curious eyes, this new weapon was seen by everyone for the first time, only Yu Linglong had relevant knowledge, and no one else knew it.

Yu Linglong actually doesn't know much about it, her relevant information is all from watching film and television dramas and various movies before crossing over, and she doesn't know much about artillery.

However, with so many people looking at her at the scene, she was also a little embarrassed, and she couldn't say that she didn't know something, right?

Well...... Let's take a look at the structure of the cannon and try it out.

Yu Linglong thought so in her heart.

She walked over to the barrel of the cannon and looked through the muzzle of the gun.

The muzzle is carved with dense, neat threaded rifling, in a slight spiral, extending to the bottom where the barrel is connected to the breech.

What is it?

Yu Linglong was puzzled.

There is no close-up of the artillery in the movie, and the artillery in ancient film and television dramas is not like this!

Yu Linglong frowned tightly, and she didn't know where to start.

Fortunately, at this time, Flender next to him sent a reminder.

"I've also seen the threads on the inside of the barrel, I guess it's used to jam the cannonball, because the Wuhun Empire could fire the cannon at a low angle on the hillside before, and the cannonball won't slide down the barrel yet, so that's what it should do."

Ah, that's it!

Yu Linglong suddenly realized, she smiled and praised Flender again.

"Dean Flender is amazing, you can know this."

She boasted so much on her lips, but she was glad in her heart.

Hey, it's good that Dean Flender said it, otherwise he would have died of shame, ......

With a sigh of relief, Yu Linglong walked over to the rubber wheels of the artillery.

On the two rubber wheels were mounted artillery mounts, part of which was closed steel, the chamber of which was clearly visible, and the volume and cross-section were larger than the barrel, with a sliding cover on top and two pneumatic pumps below, as well as two brackets.

The air pressure pump and the bracket Yu Linglong can see very clearly, the air pressure pump must be used to reduce, on the one hand, it can reduce recoil, on the other hand, it can also be used as a follow-up automatic molting machine to withdraw the shell.

The bracket is used to completely counteract the recoil, and some military news that Yu Linglong has occasionally seen, the towed howitzer on it has two brackets, which are split when fired and propped on the ground.

Next, it's a test shot, right?

Yu Linglong looked a little excited, and she picked up a cannonball.

The cannonball was a little heavy, but Yu Linglong herself was a beast martial soul master, and this weight had no effect on her at all, and the one hundred and fifty-five mm grenade that ordinary soldiers needed two people to lift together could be picked up with one hand.

The reason why it is to pick it up instead of picking it up, or is it because the volume of the shell is a bit large, and the diameter of the cross-section is one hundred and fifty-five centimeters, which ordinary people can't hold with one hand at all, let alone a girl?

However, when Yu Linglong picked up the cannonball, she frowned again, and a new problem arose.

How to fire the cannon?

In the film and television dramas that Yu Linglong watched before, modern artillery is fired by pulling the rope, that is, the spike type.

However, the current Wuhun Empire artillery does not have a corresponding pull rope, that is, it is not a spike ignition.

She looked at the cannon and noticed the slide on it, which seemed to be open.

Could it be ......

With some speculation in her heart, Yu Linglong walked up to the cannon and reached out to open the slide, revealing a small hole in it.

Really!

Yu Linglong's phoenix eyes widened, with some affirmation on her face.

Before the crossing, she had seen that in some medieval periods, as well as war films close to modern times, many old-fashioned artillery pieces were fired by torch ignition.

It seems that this cannon is also an ignition gun, and this should be a fire hole, which is used to insert a lead.

Yu Linglong thought so in her heart.

But then, she frowned again.

Looking at the appearance of this cannon, it is relatively close to the style of modern artillery! How can the ignition method be used but the old artillery method is used?

Yu Linglong is not a high-level student of mathematics, physics and chemistry like Qian Fei'er, so she naturally can't think of the bottom fire and shell shells, in fact, if there is an electric bottom fire, Qian Fei'er will naturally use the spike style, and even press the button to ignite the cannon.

Modern artillery, to put it bluntly, is an enlarged version of a rifle firearm, whether it is a pull cord or a button, it is to make the firing pin hit the bottom of the shelled shell.

The electric primer at the bottom of the shell received an impact, which fired an electric spark that ignited the gunpowder between the shell and the warhead.

Gunpowder burns violently, resulting in a small-scale explosion in which the solid gunpowder decomposes into a large amount of gas in an instant, while creating extremely high atmospheric pressure.

The strong atmospheric pressure pushes the warhead to the side with less pressure, that is, along the outside of the barrel, and at this time, you can hear "Bang!" With a loud bang, the warhead will also fly out of the barrel.

And now, Qian Feier has just completed the test of the generator, and the electric primer has not had time to be built, so naturally she has to use the old-fashioned method for manual ignition.

The military camp of the Star Luo Empire, on a gentle mountainous terrain.

Yu Linglong observed the cannon several times, and finally found the gate of the breech of the artillery, opened it and stuffed the cannonball.

It's just that the cannonball is obviously smaller than the barrel, and she feels a little strange, and her frown can't be opened.

This shell is so much smaller than the chamber, what's going on? Can this really be fired?

She tried to push the shell forward, just enough to push the barrel, and the threads on the shell were tightly bonded to the rifling on the barrel, closing the seam tightly, leaving no gap.

It seems that this is indeed a cannonball, and it is indeed flying out of the barrel like this, but how can it be ignited like this?

Yu Linglong was puzzled, the current cannonball was obviously out of the distance of the lead, if it was just inserted into the lead, the flame of the lead would not burn the cannonball at all.

The people next to him had been observing Yu Linglong, and Tang San, who had long dark blue hair, saw that Yu Linglong had been frowning and his face was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Linglong, is there something wrong?" ”

Yu Linglong heard Tang San speak, and turned her head to look at the core of this Shrek Seven Monsters.

It's okay to say it and let Tang San give some advice, no matter how you say it, he is also a person who can make gunpowder arrows, maybe he will know something.

Thinking like this in her heart, Yu Linglong smiled and nodded.

"Yes, third brother, this cannon is very different from what I know, and now, I am a little unsure how this cannon fired."

"Huh? Don't know how to fire? ”

Tang San frowned, came to Yu Linglong's side, and opened the cannon chamber.

The chamber of the cannon is very actinic, and it is still a little reflective in the early morning sun, and even a little dust on it can slide down.

The barrel of the gun is connected to the barrel of the gun, and the barrel at this time is loaded with a shell, because of the relationship between the thread and the rifling, the shell is stuck on the barrel and does not slide down the barrel at a certain elevation angle.
