Chapter 202: Under the Artillery Test
The bomb crater is relatively deep, and Prime Minister Don is not tall, so if you don't tiptoe, you really can't see the scene when the artillery fires.
However, although Prime Minister Don was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface, and he had already questioned Frandy once today, but it turned out that he was wrong.
So he didn't say anything, but walked along the dug earthen ladder with everyone into the bulletproof crater.
Continuing to test the gun, there were no problems in the 24th test gun, but when the 25th test gun, when it came to the seventh cannon, with a loud "boom", the bottom of the barrel of the seventh gun was blown apart.
Several fragments of cannon barrels flew over the crater, causing everyone to break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, I entered the bomb crater, otherwise, I would not be able to stand any piece of debris hitting people.
Prime Minister Tang Eun was glad that he didn't question it again, otherwise where would this old face go.
Gülen was also taken aback, the fragment flew over his head, although he didn't know how powerful it was, but he estimated that he was a magician, and he would definitely not be able to resist a big piece of iron hitting his head.
Senior Barry also understood why Flandi repeatedly emphasized safety, and had to shout those words before firing the gun, and it seemed that these things were right.
When the dust settled, everyone curiously walked out of the bomb crater and came to the place where the seventh gun had been placed.
I saw that the original position had been blown into a small crater, and the gun rack and the wheels used for movement were no longer in their original position.
The closest thing was the first half of the barrel of the original seventh gun, which was only blown away by about seven or eight meters, and the remaining wreckage was at least ten meters away.
The back half of the cannon was completely gone, and the fragments had gone somewhere.
However, this was not surprising to Flandy, who knew that this would inevitably happen as the amount of gunpowder used increased.
The most important purpose of this test was to find the limit point where the metal used to make the artillery could withstand the amount of gunpowder, and as long as the data was collected enough, this small loss could still be sustained.
Once all the wreckage that could be found had been collected, the experiment continued.
Perhaps it was at the tipping point of this ordinary steel, and for every subsequent test firing, one or two pieces of artillery would be blown up.
By the time of the thirty-fourth test, only the largest of the original ten guns was still intact.
Because this gun uses the most ordinary steel, and the barrel is also the thickest.
Now the cannonball's shells have a distance of three thousand meters, and Brandy estimates that it is almost its limit.
The continuous shelling tests have made Gülen, Prime Minister Donn, Minister Dean, and Minister Gotha tired of the people who came to watch.
At first, it was quite interesting, and the moment the artillery fired, it made people's blood boil.
But then I had to hide in the bomb crater for each test, and although I knew in my heart that it was necessary, I couldn't see anything, just listened to the loud noise over and over again. It's a little boring.
"Hey, Flandy, there's only this cannon left, isn't this cannon blowing up, and the test is over?"
"yes, Gülen, what's the matter? Aren't you getting a little impatient?"
"Sort of. ”
"It's okay, it's probably just one or two things, and we can go back when the bombing is over." ”
"Don't, I haven't seen it since it's blown up, you've been measuring how far its shells fly, but I don't know how powerful it is!"
"How powerful? Can't you see how powerful a cannonball can fly so far?"
"Of course I know that it is impossible for humans to resist this kind of power, but if they encounter a demonic beast, it may be. ”
Flandy didn't know what to say, the largest cannon had shells of dozens of kilograms, and such a large shell was fired three kilometers away, didn't it prove its power?
"And how do you say it's powerful?"
Flandi was going to calculate for him how much joules of kinetic energy could be generated by a single shot of this artillery, but he still thought about it, and even if he calculated it, he didn't have a clear idea.
Gülen looked around and found that there was no big target except for the two-story building, so he said, "You hit that building, let's feel it!"
"Huh?" Flandy looked at the newly built small building, and then at Gülen's excited eyes, hesitated slightly, and said, "Okay, let you see the power of the artillery!"
Prime Minister Donn, Minister Dean, and Minister Gotha saw that Frandy agreed, and their faces were overjoyed. They also wanted to see how powerful the cannon really was.
So Flendy instructed Senior Barry to send two "researchers" to the small building to check if there was anyone.
This small building has just been built by an earth magician, and it hasn't even been renovated yet, so of course there can't be anyone.
Frandy knew, and so did Senior Barry.
"Flandy, there's no one in that building, everyone is here!"
"Senior Barry, whether there is anyone in there or not, you have to check it, you know?"
"Why is that?"
"Just to develop a good habit, you know, artillery is very dangerous, so you can't stress safety enough!"
"Okay, then let's check, Rupert and Angus, you two go to check every room in the small building!"
"Yes, Mr. Barry. ”
The two "scientific researchers" were ordered to go to the small building next to each other for inspection.
Flandi took advantage of this time to ask Senior Barry to turn the muzzle of the only largest cannon that was still there, facing the direction of the small building.
The artillery is about 500 meters away from the small building, and there is almost no need to consider the parabolic factor, just direct flat fire.
"The amount of gunpowder is down three levels, everyone will step back fifty meters!"
Everyone had just known the danger of the cannon bombing, and as soon as Flandy gave the order, everyone did so.
When everything was ready, the two "scientific researchers" who went to check the two-story building had already checked back.
"Report to the dean, there is no one in the building!"
"Hmm. Franky nodded and said to Senior Barry, "Then let's get started." ”
Senior Barry understood, so he shouted again: "Prepare to test the cannon! There is no one in front, you can open the cannon!" Prepare! Let go!"
This time, because the amount of gunpowder has been lowered, there will be no danger of exploding, so people did not enter the bulletproof crater again, and the firing process of the artillery can be seen clearly.
With Senior Barry's order, the "researcher" who was operating the cannon pulled the string suddenly, and a small flint tied to the string sparked a spark at the ignition port.
Immediately afterwards, the cannon slammed backwards, and with a loud "boom!" a loud "boom!" shot out more than two meters of flames from the muzzle.
In less than a tenth of an eye, shells that were barely visible to the naked eye shot out of the muzzle of the cannon and hit the small building a few hundred meters away.
Originally, in everyone's mind, the small building would definitely be hit by a cannonball, and even if the wall that was hit did not collapse, it would have smashed a big hole.
But the reality is not like this, after the cannonball hits, the small building is like a ball of mud, and the whole thing explodes, and the stones formed by the earth condensation technique fly into the sky, emitting a puff of smoke, and then collapse.
Some of the rocks even flew to Frand's side, but they didn't hit the head, but they startled people again.
"Oh my God, it's too powerful!"
"Why did such a large shell blow up the entire building?"
Fifty catties of iron balls are actually not big, and they can grab them with one hand, but they ignore the speed of the iron ball, and the huge energy generated by the iron ball under such high-speed movement is beyond their imagination.
When the smoke cleared, everyone went to the side of the former small building, only to see that the original two-story building was now only a few foundations, and the rest of the building had been blown away.
"Flandy, you're saying this kind of artillery can be made at will?"
Glenn finally understood what the cannon meant, it could be mass-produced!
"That's right, as long as ordinary steel, you can make as much as you want!"
