Of course, no matter how the Maginot Line was modified, there was one thing that remained unchanged from beginning to end, and its number did not decrease, but continued to increase at a speed that made Sun Lin himself feel jaw-dropping, and this is the representative of thermal weapons in the early new era - artillery.

At present, there are 3 types of artillery in the Great Empire, namely No. 1 artillery, No. 1 modified artillery and No. 2 artillery, the reason why it is still retained and used after the production of No. 1 artillery is because these cannons cannot surpass No. 2 artillery in any way except for weight, but because of the coming of the Great War, these guys who should have been re-furnaceed and smelted into iron and then re-forged into No. 2 artillery or other things not only escaped the fate of being re-furnaceed, but also participated in their last battle. The largest battle in the King Continent in the past 10,000 years, and together with its successor, it shook the entire King Continent.

At present, in addition to the number of No. 1 guns used in the Sunset Fleet, there are more than 400 guns placed on the Lower Maginot Line, of course, most of them are eliminated by the Sunset Navy, although there is no danger of exploding, but its accuracy cannot be counted on, so Sun Lin did not let these guys, who were only produced last year, but now have become antique goods, be placed on the regular arrow tower, but are placed in those construction sites like those scorpion crossbows, although scattered, However, the chaos will not block the small arrow towers of the ballistics of the war equipment controlled by the comrades on the upper layer of the city wall behind, of course, because the artillery will produce a lot of gas during the firing process, so these guns are placed on those small auxiliary arrow towers without a roof, that is, in the open air. At the same time, due to the accuracy of the No. 1 gun, the No. 1 gun was placed on the first wall of the Nizhny Maginot Line.

As the No. 1 change artillery, it is a heavy siege gun whose power and weight have been increased again, but the accuracy has decreased again. Because its number is less than 100 guns, and its own weight is very heavy, although the load and width of the two walls of the Lower Maginot Line can withstand these behemoths, but they may not be able to withstand the shock force generated by these behemoths when they are launched, and putting such a huge cannon on the city wall is clearly called a group mockery, which is to force the other party to carry out fire on the city wall.

Therefore, in order to ensure that these behemoths can be used, and at the same time can withstand the weight of this guy itself and the shock force generated at the time of launch, the craftsmen of Sunset decided to place all these behemoths in the main fort of 36 Wanghai Fort for long-range fire support after discovering that the range of these guys was much higher than that of the No. 1 gun.

The so-called 36 Wanghai Forts are actually the 36 coastal cities in the Western Regions of the Central Continent. Nowadays, the citizens of these coastal cities have migrated to the interior of the Western Regions of Central and Greater China due to the establishment of the Lower Maginot Line, and these 36 coastal cities have also become places where the sun never sets, and they are also the field command posts of the 36 existence and the Lower Maginot Line.

Although these 36 cities still retain many of their urban appearances, such as the wide streets, city halls, and commercial areas that have been turned into part of the Sunset Barracks. By and large, however, these cities have been transformed into terrifying fortresses: the Gundam Maginot Second Line splits them in two, while passing through the same place where the third wall of the Lower Maginot Line would have passed. That is, these cities were originally close to the walls of the interior. The gates and surrounding area have disappeared, replaced by 36 main forts that seem to give the attackers a chill.

Since these main forts were the heart of the Lower Maginot Line, the castle was designed to be even stronger than the third wall in the Counting, and the structure was more complex, according to the dwarven craftsmen. If there were 100 soldiers guarding this castle, no less than 1,000 soldiers would have died in it, and Sun Lin would never tell anyone why such a sturdy building, which was more complex than the construction of the third wall, could be built earlier than the third wall. This is what he secretly obtained from each of the powerful forces conquered by the great empire that the sun never sets before, and the artworks with monetary value obtained from the system are exchanged for mortgage (the so-called mortgage is to mortgage the system in exchange for the war value equal to the value of these things, and if the war value in exchange for 5% interest is not returned within the specified time, then this thing will be swallowed up by the system).

It is worth mentioning here that, logically speaking, the first wall of the Lower Maginot Line was the coastal wall of these cities, and the port area built in the city should have been blocked by the tall wall during the completion of the first wall of the Lower Maginot Line, but in fact this did not happen, except for the strengthening of those coastal walls and the blocking of all the entrances to those coastal walls in the original city, the port area was not only not blocked but also retained.

And at the end of the day, the artillery that was settled became the long-barreled cannon of the No. 2 artillery by the Great Empire on which the sun never sets: compared to the No. 1 gun, the first impression that the No. 2 gun gives to the soldiers who have seen the No. 1 gun is: so bright, so light, so small. It is no wonder that in the eyes of the soldiers who have seen or used the No. 1 gun, the cannon is large, black and thick, and at the same time, in their eyes, the weight of the cannon can only be pulled by the Kodomon, so when the Sunset craftsman in the rear only uses two war horses and a strange trailer to lift out a cannon that is twice as small as the No. 1 gun except in terms of length, and the color is not black but black-gray, no one's head can be transformed.

As the No. 2 gun developed by the sunset, the long-barreled cannon has all increased in power and range, according to the information obtained from the previous test, it is stronger than the No. 1 gun, and the biggest improvement is the accuracy problem that the early artillery users are troubled by, although the long-barreled cannon can't do the so-called pointing where to hit, or the early artillery can't do it, but at least it won't be like the No. 1 gun, the chance of hitting the target after firing the cannon is 1 in 10,.

However, the long-barreled cannon is also longer than the No. 1 gun because its body is longer than the No. 1 gun, and the weight is lighter than the No. 1 gun, etc., resulting in the recoil of the long-barreled gun is greater than that of the No. 1 gun, although the reloading speed and loading method of the long-barreled gun are the same as the No. 1 gun, but because the long-barreled gun needs to swing the angle longer than the No. 1 gun after firing, the No. 2 gun will be slower than the No. 1 gun in terms of firing speed, but the slow firing speed in exchange for it can hit the enemy target more accurately, In such a situation, the recoil of the long-barreled gun is not a disadvantage either.

At present, the number of long-barreled cannons has reached the number of 300 after the frenzied production, and this number will continue to grow over time, and then because the range of the long-barreled cannon is larger than that of the No. 1 gun, and even the No. 1 modified gun, so the soldiers of the sun never set put these weapons in the semi-enclosed turret: here is also thanks to the design concept of the long-barreled cannon is different from the No. 1 gun, so the smoke generated by firing fire is much less than that of the No. 1 gun, In this case, it is only necessary to make a window in the tower for ventilation.

Of course, in addition to the 3 kinds of artillery, the sunset hot weapons guarding the city wall are not only these, in fact, there is also a kind of thermal weapon that is put into the battlefield, of course, because this thermal weapon is an artillery but not an artillery, plus the number of these things is pitiful, so it was not until Sun Lin inspected the thousands of times 3 times that he found out the existence of this guy: as the sun does not set, the craftsmen will hold the artillery, that is, the hand cannon This weapon looks like a big step forward, the sun does not set in the thermal weapon technique, Of course, due to the poor performance of the hand cannons, this kind of thing was discontinued after being partially produced, and then these hand cannons were like those No. 1 guns, because of the demand for defense equipment in the lower Maginot Line, so these guys were not reheated, but after being slightly improved in terms of body length and other aspects, they were pressed on wooden carts, and 10 hand cannons were used as the standard for one trailer, forming the so-called pipe cannons.

However, Sun Lin lost interest in the tube cannon after studying it at the beginning: although the tube cannon inherited the terrifying armor-piercing ability of the artillery, and could even penetrate the bodies of four people with one bullet when facing the dense formation sent by the enemy soldiers head-on, due to the extremely short range of the tube gun, it is estimated that only when the enemy soldiers enter 50 meters away from the tube cannon can it cause effective killing ability, so the tube cannon is not very outstanding in any aspect.

And the most important thing is that the tube cannon is not a later machine gun, after a round, you only need to pull out the previous magazine and replace it with a new magazine: the tube cannon is to put a mini cannon together and let them be fired at one time, so after the tube cannon happens, the operators must clean up a root tube gun, and then load it with new bullets one by one, although the loading speed will definitely be faster than the loading speed of the general artillery, but the 10 root tube guns have to be loaded one by one, This took enough time for the second gun to knock out the second shell and start loading the third shell.

In such a situation, Sun Lin has no love for this kind of war equipment that is a real man for a few seconds, and he will be a grandson in the future, and of course he can't talk about disgust, after all, the sun never sets craftsmen can make this kind of thing, which means that the sun never sets empire has finally taken the first step in even heat weapons.
