Chapter 461: Through the understanding of a few cannons, I have already mastered the essence of "cannons"!
Unlike the absolute superiority of artillery, for real air guns and muskets, the generals still hesitated.
First of all, both are certainly more practical than primitive crossbows, and in the short term, in terms of rate of fire and range, it seems that there is little advantage over a Himezo soldier who has been trained in archery to become proficient.
However, you must know that even if it is an elite, the number of shots is limited, even if it is a projectile that does not need to be aimed, and it is a short bow with eight buckets, after a dozen arrows in a row, you will basically fall into muscle fatigue......
In contrast, whether it is a true airsoft soldier or a musketeer, it is only a little more cumbersome to load, which affects the rate of fire, and in fact, the consumption of physical strength is very small, and in several hours of fighting, as long as the "materials" are enough, the Jizao soldiers can shoot from beginning to end.
And according to Huang Yueying and Yu Ji, the training cost of both is very low.
And the so-called materiel, first of all, bullets, both are needed.
Secondly, the musket has entered the firing stage, and the bullet is fixed, that is, the bullet carries its own gunpowder, and there is no need to prepare gunpowder.
However, the True Qi Core of the True Air Gun requires True Qi to "charge", and unlike the True Qi Furnace used by the True Air Cannon, the True Qi Core is a disposable.
The energy supply of the real gas furnace is relaxed, and it can be recharged and used repeatedly, and the large armored ships and real gas locomotives need to use large real gas furnaces.
In contrast, the function of the True Qi Core is more violent, and it is more efficient to use in the True Air Gun, but it will greatly damage the True Qi Glass and cannot be reused, and a True Qi Core can be used for the machine to run a hundred times, that is, it can shoot a hundred shuttle bullets, a total of 600 rounds.
The consumption of the true qi core is also very small, and the army is now also promoting the "Pan True Qi Plan", even if it is a wood and stone general, they are all cultivating true qi, and after the true qi core is applied to the army, it will definitely mobilize the enthusiasm for cultivating true qi even more.
The difficulty of the True Qi Furnace lies in the "big", and the difficulty of the True Qi core lies in the small - what Huang Yueying wants to do now is to make the True Qi core "fixed".
That is, like gunpowder bullets, each bullet has its own True Qi core, so that the structure of the True Air Gun can be more optimized.
Theoretically, it can be achieved, and even the True Qi core needs to be volume, which is smaller than the powder chamber of a bullet, but with the current technology, the cost is too high, and it is not as cost-effective as it is now.
In terms of cost, the cost of musket ammunition is much lower than that of "real gas core + real air gun bullet", but in terms of storage, real gas core has more advantages than musket ammunition, and there is no need to worry about the problem of damp ammunition in rainy weather, and it can be used around the clock.
The cost of the gun itself, the musket is only one-third of the real airsoft machine, and the durability is twice that of the real airsoft - the real airsoft gun has a high durability in the chamber, but the machine part needs to be replaced after the service life is reached.
But......
Unlike the case of the "cannon", not only is the gap smaller, but in terms of "guns", real air guns and muskets are nothing more than the difference between cheaper and cheaper!
If you grit your teeth, you can be universally equipped, and the cost of the true air gun can be fully borne by Chu State......
And judging from the performance shown in the matchup, it is clear that the real air gun completely crushes the musket - the range, the rate of fire, all surpass.
The cost of training is almost the same, and all are much lower than ordinary archers.
As for the crossbowmen...... The cost of the real air gun is only 5% of the expensive real air crossbow, and the bullets are much cheaper than the arrows, so the latter can't even equip all the generals so far.
Adaptability is definitely that the real airsoft is more stable, while the musket has the negative effect of greatly increasing the failure rate in rainy weather, and the real airsoft is shorter, easier to carry, and less prone to damage - you can see how stable it is from the fact that it can be used as a page hammer!
In terms of performance, the only thing that is stronger than the real air gun should be that the three-edged stabbing gun is indeed more reliable than the page hammer in close combat, after all, the length of the real air gun is not suitable for bayonets, and because the weight is concentrated in the bracket near the handle, the melee function is indeed not easy to develop......
However, with the reserves of the Chu State, each person can be equipped with a Chu knife, which is not a big deal in itself.
In the end, the opinions of the generals were more inclined to the real air gun - according to Huang Yueying, this is called the "real air bullet crossbow".
In comparison, the cost of the True Air Cannon is too high!
Even if the real air gun costs more than the musket, it does not affect the gradual coverage of the front-line army.
However, in terms of artillery, even artillery cannot satisfy all armies - according to the experience of the 18th century when hot and cold weapons were combined with the battlefield, infantry, cavalry, and artillery fought together, and four guns per 1,000 men was the optimal ratio.
The current state of Chu is also unevenly developed in many aspects, and Bai Tu is unwilling to squeeze the people's power too much, and can reach two artillery pieces per 1,000 people in the front-line army within five years, even if the expectations are achieved.
If you use the True Qi Cannon, even if it is a first-line legion, there will only be a single-digit True Qi Cannon per 10,000 people, which will be too inconspicuous......
Soon after everyone reached a consensus, the True Air Cannon and the musket were carried down.
In the future, the investment in these two technological lines will also be reduced, and it will be almost banned - maintaining a research team on a daily basis to ensure that when other cross-era products that can be linked, such as real air cannons or muskets, can make new breakthroughs, at least the old technology will not be completely lost...... But until then, there will be no more money burned on R&D.
Only when Huang Zhong saw that the True Qi Cannon was carried away, he left one behind, and then ...... I saw Huang Zhong ask Bai Tu for his life: "King, the last general wants to give it a try!" ”
Seeing this, Bai Tu was curious, but he still agreed: "General, just try." ”
Bai Tu didn't know what Huang Zhong was going to try, the performance of the True Qi Cannon had just been fully demonstrated.
However, just after Bai Tu agreed, Huang Zhong directly had a golden jade......
Then, I saw Huang Zhong directly remove the true qi cannon from the locomotive base below and carry it.
Because the size of the golden jade battle armor is not small, so now Huang Zhong looks like he is carrying a relatively thick stick......
However, in the next moment, the part of the True Qi Furnace behind the True Qi Cannon quickly began to "dissolve", and with the flickering of the battle armor on Huang Zhong's body, the True Qi Cannon gradually merged with it!
Originally, only when the battle armor was promoted, the mini-flying machine that appeared and seemed to be 3D printed around the user reappeared, and this time it was focused on changing the real qi cannon that Huang Zhong was carrying.
From the light and shadow, it can be vaguely seen that the true qi cannon is gradually increasing and elongated, and there are more powerful and exaggerated, page-like carvings!
"It's ...... Connected the True Air Cannon to the Warframe? Sun Ce said in amazement, and at the same time, he hurriedly carried a true qi cannon after he was also armored...... However there was no response!
Even if it's a golden jade battle armor, not everything can be accessed, normally everyone's "interface" type is the same, just like tens of thousands of aliens, and hundreds of dollars of second-hand assembly machines, all have USB interfaces, but the "interface" of the battle armor is a virtual concept, at least Bai Tu has studied it with Lu Lingqi, and there is no place on the armor that can be plugged in.
And the changes in the interface are generally changes that only occur when Cheng Ji crosses the era, such as Zhao Wuling's King Hu Fu riding and shooting, which makes the battle armor have more mount interfaces.
However, there are special circumstances......
Sun Ce carried it, didn't respond, changed it, and carried it again, didn't respond, and changed it......
Until Zhou Yu couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Sun Ce aside!
Obviously, this interface is a special case, and only Huang Zhong himself has it!
Huang Yueying was also a little disappointed after discovering this - if all the generals could really be equipped with real qi cannons, maybe they could really replace artillery.
However, if there is only Huang Zhong alone, this aspect is still of little value, and the Chu State will not reserve the development project of the True Qi Cannon specifically for this purpose......
Huang Zhong's understanding of the bow, or archery, made his golden jade battle armor originally able to turn into a super crossbow similar to a "giant cannon", and now after coming into contact with the True Qi Cannon, he quickly expanded his battle armor into the True Qi Cannon interface!
But this is his own creation, and it can't be replicated in other people's armor, unless ...... Other people's archery skills can also reach Huang Zhong's level.
"General Huang can give it a try." Bai Tu said and pointed to the open space in front of the test site.
"Whoa!"
After Huang Zhong received the order, he flew up directly - the original Huang Zhong's "giant cannon" was transformed from the battle armor, so when the giant cannon appeared, it also meant that Huang Zhong himself did not have the bonus of the battle armor.
However, the coexistence of the two now allows Huang Zhong to unleash his fire on the ground while flying......
Like the bow and arrow after the armor is inserted, there is no need for arrows, and there is no original reload problem, like the light and shadow of a meteor falling.
Huang Zhong's cannon bombarded the ground - no explosive effect, pure impact destruction!
Every time the light of the "laser cannon" fell on the ground, there was a loud noise, and at the same time, looking at the "pit", you can know that it is much stronger than the real gas cannon and artillery.
Seeing this, Lu Bu even wanted to compare himself with Huang Zhong again......
If they were all in a state of divine power, and the bonus of the True Qi Cannon was not there, Huang Zhong would definitely not be Lu Bu's enemy.
However, if it was in the case of the Golden Jade Battle Armor, after having the True Qi Cannon, Lu Bu would also be much weaker than Huang Zhong in terms of long-range damage!
Lu Bu's archery skills are also very high, and he will not be held back by the force of "the best in the world......
However, Lu Bu's archery skills are the result of the blessing of his full attributes, and his comprehension in archery alone is not as profound as Huang Zhong.
The Shenwei mode is different from the battle armor promotion, it is just a special state that cannot be maintained for a long time, so even for the transcendent god generals, the combat effectiveness when wearing the golden jade battle armor is meaningful!
Huang Zhong circled in the air, and after falling back in front of Bai Tu, he immediately asked for his life: "King! The end will feel ...... Having fully understood the tactical essence of 'artillery', if the king intends to form a new army, the last general is willing to do the work of dogs and horses! ”
Bai Tu glanced at Huang Zhong strangely......
Huang Zhong's archery skills, Bai Tu didn't doubt it, but ...... When it comes to artillery, it's a different matter, right?
You just tried two shots and said that you completely mastered the essence?
Where are you from?
Lu Bu saw Bai Tu's doubts, and then interjected: "Being able to awaken a new interface by yourself is indeed helpful to the understanding of this type of weapon, and the battle armor should also directly feedback the update of the manual...... General Huang is not a big deal. ”
Lu Bu still has a lot of opinions about Huang Zhong, if it were other generals present, on this occasion, he would definitely call the table words.
However, after Huang Zhong showed his value, Lu Bu still recognized it fairly, but it didn't sound very pleasant......
It's just that the other generals are against it at this time!
They didn't have that much of an opinion on Huang Zhong, but ...... The armament of artillery is obviously more wolf and less meaty, you old thing want to "swallow it alone"?
