Chapter 187: A Man's Happiness

And Ace went to follow the ship, and Leo was left with only Anilu and a few of them, and then Leo arranged a job for Anilu: to make artillery.

To be honest, Anilu is about to be suffocated, but there is no way, who told him that he is still Leo's "captive", so he can only obediently obey Leo's arrangement.

Because of the lack of testing equipment for his mineralization, no one has been able to test the temperature of Anilu's mineralization so far, but he shapes these metals like plasticine - you must know that metal conducts electricity and does not ignite, Ace only burns the fruit and not the hot fruit, so his processing of the metal is from the outside to the inside.

Electrometallurgy has unique advantages in shaping.

Relying on this advantage, most of the parts are machined by him.

And the production of cannons, or small cannons, and light cannons was even simpler than he imagined.

Mosin Nagant needed a lot of springs, intricately shaped bolts, and a variety of screws, and at the beginning he was still honing his micro-manipulation skills, but later he was left with only the repetitive labor of machinery, and he was a complete tool man.

But the manufacturing process of the cannon is actually simpler than the gun - theoretically the gun chamber and the gun body are to be cast separately, but now it is an experimental small cannon, so everything is simple, first of all, the gun body, 105 mm caliber, three meters in length, and then the lock.

Originally, the lock needs rubber as a seal and cushion, but in Luffy's battle when they arrived on Sky Island, it can be seen that this world has long had rubber and has been used in industry, but now their materials are very scarce, so in the end, the place where the cannon bolt (shuan) is still used in a spiral structure, in fact, this is a live Napoleonic cannon with a pointed cannonball, and the physical structure is very simple.

With just a pull of the rope, the spring will eject the firing pin and hit the butt of the shell, which then triggers this large "bullet".

It's a bit extravagant, one shell is enough gunpowder to make more than thirty rounds, but you can do without a repeating gun in a war, but you can't do without a rapid-fire gun.

Therefore, Leo would rather let them become a "five-shot army" than let them become a five-gun army.

The role of artillery in warfare is undeniable, and after wasting a morning to build this thing, the next thing is to test the cannon.

Neither of them noticed, but looked at the cannon in front of them with great excitement.

To be honest, after getting rid of the mechanical spring tool man before, Anilu quickly became interested in artillery, which is why he likes to follow Leo, he can always invent countless new and interesting things, originally everyone speculated that this was the technology and invention of the Draconians, but they soon denied this idea.

If the Draconians really had so many strange things, they would have changed the world long ago.

However, they have not learned the disadvantages of feudal society: no matter how good things are, they actually depend on the mood of the superiors, if the superiors see the shining points and promote them, they can quickly promote it to the whole country, but if they just regard it as a plaything, then it is very likely to hide in the warehouse for a lifetime and only be played by a few people alive, which is the biggest problem of feudal society.

Of course, it is impossible for Leo to dedicate these "national weapons" to the Tianlong people.

Anilu was quickly stunned by the cannon, and the man could resist the thick and long cannon.

So much so that he and Leo got into an argument over who would fire the first shot - "This is what I did, of course I should be allowed to do it!" ”

"I designed it! I'm going to open it again! Leo defended his rights unstoppable, and the argument between the two even caused Nicole Robin to walk out of the cabin.

The black line on her face: "Are you two still children?" ”

"What do you know about men's romance!" The two turned their heads and called out in unison.

Robin had a few green tendons on her forehead, only to see her hands slightly crossed, and one hand appeared behind the small cannon, pulling the firing pin rope of the small cannon.

Tong!

The cannon exploded with a sound that had never been heard before, and then the cannonball disappeared with a clatter, and it was not until two or three seconds later that a splash exploded far away.

"Huh?!" Anilu and Nico Robin are not the people who didn't know anything before, they are very sensitive to the parameters of weapons, especially in terms of weapon distance, Leo previously transformed the musket with an attack distance of only 100 meters and an effective attack distance of only 30 meters into an effective attack distance of 800 meters and a maximum attack distance of 1,200 meters Mosin Nagant, and now the artillery that can fight two kilometers is indeed what they are looking forward to.

But the question is......

Is this too far?

The M1857 field gun, a prototype of the Napoleonic cannon with a longer barrel and a rear-loading gun with a modified latch, had an attack range of only 2 km.

That's the farthest effective attack distance a round cannonball can hit.

On the contrary, the super strong man in this world, Iron Fist Karp, can throw cannonballs with his bare hands, and the attack range can reach about five kilometers, which is much more threatening than ordinary heavy artillery.

However, when the shells were replaced with conical shells with excellent reloading seals, the long range of the attack was simply confusing......

Both of them were stunned in unison, and Anilu even shouted: "Go and see!" ”

Anilu, who turned into a bolt of lightning, followed the trajectory of the cannonball, estimating his distance,

In the end, he got a staggering number.

"Nine kilometers! 9.4 km! When he returned to the ship, he was covered in a cold sweat and had a perverted smile on his face, which could hardly hide this pleasure and joy.

This is not the same as how powerful the cannon is, how many warships it can take, or what kind of crushing advantage it can have over the navy. He was simply happy that he had created a gun that could set a new record, nothing more.

Sometimes a man's happiness is so simple, you can't understand it at all, Leo also had a smile on his face, the two glanced at each other, and suddenly stretched out his hand and hit each other hard, "Cool!" "Yay!"

You see, sometimes men's happiness comes so simply, unpretentiously, and so boring, that Nicole Robin, a woman with black lines on her face, watched them and began to excitedly build a second bigger cannonball......
