Section 173 Test artillery
A steel pipe about two feet thick and about two meters long is set between two thick wheels...... Structurally, although it is a little rudimentary, it is indeed the prototype of a cannon.
"This ...... How do you do that? ”
Moon Shadow felt that there was a short circuit in her brain, she was not an arms expert, and her original plan was to hope that the goblins would be able to copy the pistol, but this ...... How did it become a cannon?
As soon as she raised her head, she happened to meet Susimen's gaze and asked, "Susimen, has the explosive investigation been successful?" ”
"Uh...... That is true. ”
Susimon was a little embarrassed: "Lord Lord, we have researched the explosive agent, but the force generated by this agent is not enough to propel the bullet, let alone make the bullet have a strong penetrating power. So, after a few of us discussed, we changed the method of powering the bullets. ”
"Oh, how do you do that?"
Moon Shadow asked.
"We used the Wind Magic Array as a power source." Susimon was a little complacent.
Wind magic array as a power source?
Moon Shadow frowned slightly: "The wind generated by that wind magic array is small and scattered, even if you send bullets out, I'm afraid it won't have much power." ”
"Yes. However, the Wind Magic Array, which had been compressed hundreds of times, was completely different. ”
Speaking of professional questions, Susimon immediately became radiant: "The principle of compression magic we use is to engrave a magic array that has been compressed a hundred times in the chamber of the gun, and as long as the magic array is triggered with a trigger...... Camille. You bring a sample. ”
An alchemist promised to leave, and soon ran over with a pistol.
"Did you really make a successful copy?"
Moon Shadow took it in surprise and inspected it repeatedly, and it was indeed the same as the Type 80 automatic pistol, except that the manufacturing number and manufacturer's logo were missing.
"Your Excellency, please test shoot!"
Susimon was pouting on the side, and Master Tumen was also looking forward to it.
"Okay."
Moon Shadow smiled and raised her gun. A goblin erected a target in front of him.
Although he has many models of firearms in his home on Earth, Moon Shadow has never shot a real gun since he got the pistol. Although she tried it once, the effect was not very good, so she didn't care, and she also wanted to try it this time.
Bang----
With an extremely slight sound, Moon Shadow didn't feel the ground shake in his arm, and the earthen target located four hundred meters away had been blown to pieces.
"Oh my God. Can't even feel the recoil! ”
Moon Shadow sighed.
"What's the recoil?"
Susimon and Tumen asked together.
"Uh...... I would like to know, how many samples were made? ”
Moon Shadow shifts the subject, in fact she doesn't know how to explain.
Master Tumen's attention was indeed diverted: "We have made a total of ten samples of Thor's Fury, and the capacity of the magazine is ten rounds. As you know, this kind of compressed magic array has very high requirements for the engraver, and there are only four alchemists who can engrave this kind of magic array. Their production in a day is no more than eight sets...... This also includes scrap products. ”
"That'...... What to do with the magic crystal? ”
Moon Shadow asked.
"With a first-order wind system magic crystal, you can fire twenty bullets, well, for example, wind rabbit, there are many such small magic beasts on the island, and we have saved a lot of magic crystals." Susimon replied.
"Hmm."
Moon Shadow nodded, and shifted her gaze to the cannon next to her, "What's going on?" ”
"Hehe, this is the brainchild of Master Tumen."
Susimon laughed: "At the time of trial production of samples." Master Tumen suggested that since Thor's Wrath can produce powerful penetrating power when it is so small, what effect will it have if it is magnified? For this reason, the master did not sleep for three days, rushed to produce a sample model, and urged the craftsmen to make it...... Ay. Master Tumen. Why is your face so ugly, are you tired? ”
Susimon looked at Master Tumen with concern. I don't know why.
"Hah, that...... Have you experimented and how did it work? Well, I can trust the skill of Master Tumen, and the model is simply exquisite! ”
Moon Shadow knew it and changed the topic with a haha, but the last sentence was ...... The old goblin was about to cry.
That one...... As if he had made a mistake again, Moon Shadow hurriedly caught Susimon: "Susimon, are you conducting a test shot?" Then hurry up, I'd love to see the results. ”
"Yes, my lord, as you wish."
Susimon nodded hurriedly, although he didn't know why the old goblin was not in a high mood, but it was obviously more appropriate to avoid talking about this issue.
"My lord, what do you think it should be called?" Tumen asked with a gloomy face, no matter what, the new weapon should still be named by the lord.
"Oh, let's call it a cannon." Moon Shadow blurted out.
Several goblins stuffed a conical warhead weighing about eight or nine catties into the breech---- it was obvious that it was made of imitation bullets, and the other two goblins corrected the muzzle, but this big guy was not as well-behaved as a pistol, and it was not so easy to correct.
rumble
The first shell was successfully fired, but it landed at a distance of 50 meters from the target, and the range was ...... Fifteen hundred meters.
The cone-shaped cannonball kicked up a cloud of dust on the ground, and the ground was reinforced by earth-based magic, and the ground was smashed into a crater of a square foot.
"The range and power are not bad, but how do you aim and adjust? Can it be installed on a ship to suit the needs of naval warfare? Moon Shadow asked.
"There's really nothing good about this."
Speaking of his work, Master Tumen regained some vitality, but he still looked sad---- this time it had nothing to do with Moon Shadow.
"However, this will not stop us, my lord, although the model is destroyed, I can make another one." Master Tumen's beard was cocked again.
Well, the old goblin is still thinking about it.
Moon Shadow quickly shifted her gaze and continued to talk to Susimon.
"Susimon, have you ever considered using explosives on artillery shells?" Moon Shadow asked.
"What do you mean, sir...... After the shell touches the target, the explosive charge explodes? Susimon's eyes lit up.
"Yes, the end of the ground cone of the cannonball can be made hollow, and explosives can be added to it, and some pieces of broken iron can be added, and the lethality of the explosion can be increased by ten times......" Moon Shadow's eyes glowed.
Insidious!
The goblins and the alchemists next to him all looked at their lord with a look of awe, and Master Tumen suddenly felt that he was very lucky---- when the lord teleported, he was standing next to the model, if he was offset by one or two feet...... He couldn't help but feel creepy.
"Huh? What's wrong with you guys? Haha, you don't have to look at me with such admiration, it would make me embarrassed. ”
Moon Shadow was speaking with great interest, a little uncomfortable by their gaze.
"No, my lord, under your guidance, we are about to develop a new killing machine." Master Tumen smiled bitterly.
"No, Master."
Moon Shadow said earnestly, "I assure you that I will make Thor's Wrath and its related technical data sleep in the base forever, and the finished product will only be used for protection, not expansion." ”
