Chapter 103: Artillery Test Firing
The Yongxing base is in the initial stage of construction, and all kinds of facilities are not perfect, only a few houses or factories built of boulders. In this world, cement is hard to come by, so you can only use stone.
Guards were everywhere outside the base, and these guards were the second group of troops armed with rifles, which made Hu Su wonder if he wanted to let them become an independent army, called the Yongxing Army.
Yongxing was originally the name of the year, and it was used for the name of the base and the name of the army at this time, which is enough to see how much attention Ling Husu attaches to it.
Led by a special person, the three of them entered the brick and stone fence, like a small castle.
The test launch site is on the side of the hill of the base, and the guards are not allowed to enter, and there are craftsmen leading inside. These craftsmen all signed confidentiality agreements, and once the secrets were leaked, it was treason.
"Please, the adults are already debugging at the test launch range, and tell the villain to wait here."
This person's name is Zhong Wulu, Zhang Wenyu's deputy, and he is also the right attendant of the firearms department. Linghu Su had already instructed not to reveal his identity, so Zhong Wulu only bowed slightly, and did not make a big salute.
Linghu Su asked as he walked, "Have you ever done an experiment?" ”
"It has been tried three times, the first time failed, the second three times succeeded."
Zhong Wulu was one of the best craftsmen in Chen Guo, and Ling Husu specially asked someone to invite him, although he couldn't contribute useful skills, he could help Zhang Wenyu. No matter how strong Zhang Wenyu is, he also needs a helper.
"What are the specifications of the artillery?"
"It is about five meters long, weighs about 3,000 catties, has a range of ten kilometers, and can destroy a small city gate with one shot......"
Zhong Wulu said with a red face, and his eyes were very fascinated.
At the test firing site, Zhang Wenyu and Lu Yi were debugging the artillery, as if they were still dissatisfied with something.
The artillery was the same as Ling Husu imagined, with a long barrel and a caliber of about two or three hundred millimeters.
Lu Yi didn't know what equipment he was holding, so he slapped around at the artillery. Zhang Wenyu was inspecting the loading module, and he didn't realize that Ling Husu and his party were already approaching.
"Old Lu, what are you doing?"
Lu Yi didn't look up and said, "Check whether the artillery is defective." ”
"Oh, what do you have in your hand, it looks pretty tall."
"A simple gamma-ray flaw detection device, don't stand too close, be careful of being irradiated."
Ling Hu Su was slightly shocked and asked, "Can you make this kind of equipment?" ”
Lu Yi glanced at Ling Husu like a fool and said, "As long as you can find uranium ore, you can make it, and this is not a high-end thing." It's a pity that it can't be automated in a short time, and I still need to do a little bit of probing by myself. ”
Zhang Wenyu completed the inspection at this time and asked Lu Yi: "Do you have any problems there?" ”
"It's no big problem, it's just that some places are not perfectly connected, you can take a look."
Linghu Su also turned his head sideways to look, and there were colorful pictures on it, which he couldn't understand.
Alas, I only hate myself for not studying well. Simple gamma maps are incomprehensible.
"It's okay with this question, it's just an experiment anyway, the head of the regiment is here?"
Linghu Su: "Only then did you know I was here." ”
Zhang Wenyu smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your communication device, and I will upgrade it." ”
Ling Husu took it down and gave it to him, and Bai Xiaoxiang's also took it down and handed it over.
"Zhong Wulu, the whole base is under martial law, and no one is allowed to watch the test range without my permission."
"Yes!" Zhong Wulu understood, and immediately left the test range with all the surrounding guards and guarded outside. Yin Zhi also went out, so that there were only four of them inside.
Linghu Su's hand itched and wanted to operate, but Zhang Wenyu refused, the test shot is not child's play, in case it is missed by Linghu Su, or if it is an operation error, there will be a big problem.
Ling Hu Su and Bai Xiaoxiang retreated to the rear console, and Lu Yi was debugging a bunch of equipment.
"What is this?"
"This is a monitoring system, which can implement the data of monitoring artillery shells, but unfortunately it is not intelligent, it is just a simple calculation system."
Ling Husu gave a thumbs up, experts are different, such an environment can make this thing. In the original world, with enough manpower and resources, they could build a mechanical army that could crisscross the universe.
Lu Yi debugged and shouted at Zhang Wenyu: "I'm ready here, you can start." ”
"Okay, count down tens of seconds, ten, nine,...... Two, one, launch. ”
Shout!
A sharp chirp sounded, and I saw a cannonball shoot out and fall in the pile of rocks four or five miles away, only to hear a loud bang, the rocks were blown to pieces, and a large number of stone chips were scattered and splashed, which was very artistic.
Linghu Su, who is used to seeing explosion scenes, doesn't feel shocked, but in this world, this is a shocking thing.
"Old Lu, how is it?"
Lu Yi replied while saving the data: "The first test was the power, and according to the results, it was very successful." As long as there is a salvo of five cannonballs, there is no gate in this world that can stop it. If there are 10 rounds, you can destroy any wall. ”
"Okay, great." Linghu Su was overjoyed, with such a weapon, whether it was a siege war or a field battle, it was of great significance.
Zhang Wenyu debugged again and continued to launch, and the range of this test was 9.8 kilometers. It's a little bit away from the predicted ten kilometers, but it doesn't matter if it's that little distance, it doesn't have to be too precise at this time, and there is no need for precise fixed-point strikes.
In the third test of stability, Zhang Wenyu fired three shells at a fixed point, and the stability was good and met the requirements.
After the test, Zhang Wenyu shook his head.
"What's wrong, not satisfied?" Bai Xiaoxiang asked, he thought it was okay, a few thousand such weapons were enough to sweep the entire world.
"One is that this weapon is too shabby, it can't reflect my level, and it's a little embarrassing. The second is that the materials are limited and cannot be mass-produced, and I estimate that the production of ten units a month is already the limit. ”
Everyone rolled their eyes at him, the previous sentence was too pretending.
Linghu Su said: "It's okay, it's okay to have ten units, besides, Chen Guo's finances are limited, and he can't insist on making more." With this thing, attacking a city is not as simple as drinking water. ”
Zhang Wenyu shook his head again and said, "The power is still too small, I will improve it." ”
Ling Hu Su was speechless and said, "Is it possible, you still want to create a weapon that can shatter a city with one cannon?" ”
"It's true that there is a matter of time, and if I am given enough time, I can make the materials I need, and I can make a weapon like that."
Linghu Su hurriedly stopped and said: "Don't, we don't need such a weapon, we can destroy a city gate, you destroy other people's cities, what's the use of me taking it!" ”
"That's right."
Next, Ling Husu has been observing their work, and there is a good look.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Wenyu built a large generator to supply power to the entire base, so at night, the Yongxing base is brightly lit and does not smell of oil smoke.
Linghu Su was very envious and wanted Zhang Wenyu to get a set in the palace.
"Yes, but the power supply system of the base is to supply the weapons production line, and the lighting is only incidental. If you want to replace all the lighting systems in the palace, it will probably take a lot of time and money, are you sure? ”
Ling Husu thought about it and shook his head, Zhang Wenyu was right, but Ling Husu proposed: "Just change my Qianyuan Hall and my mother's Tassel Palace, and talk about other places later." ”
"Yes, I'll send two small generators and two lighting systems tomorrow, and someone will install them for you."
"Wonderful, wonderful! Lao Zhang, you say, how can I thank you. Otherwise, how about I recruit a group of beautiful men for you, and see how lonely you are day by day. ”
"Get out."
