Chapter 31: Dragon's Brain and Cannonballs

Bang!!!

It was as if a thunderclap sounded in the flat ground, and as the sparks on the lead line submerged into the fire door, the firelight, white smoke, and violent sounds all appeared instantly, and everyone present was in a trance!

"Good guys!" Lao You's eyes widened, although the white smoke had not yet dispersed, and he couldn't see the scene on the target two hundred steps ahead, but the sound effect alone deeply shocked him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"I love this thing!" Lao You said excitedly to the coppersmith Lu on the side.

Coppersmith Lu was also very excited, after all, this was a weapon made by him himself!

"Wait until the smoke clears and see the effect!" However, Coppersmith Lu still maintained a trace of sanity, knowing that it was possible to be too excited before seeing the result......

"Phew! It's time to put the research of smokeless gunpowder on the agenda, the gun is black ~ gunpowder, this kind of big guy is really unbearable! Buchen walked out of the white smoke with a disgraced face.

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed heartily when they looked at him.

Buchen glared at them angrily and said, "The smoke is almost gone, let's see the result!" ā€

Everyone hurriedly moved their gaze to two hundred paces away.

Because the first time was a power test, the elevation angle of the gun was placed very flat, and the standard cannon trajectory was used, that is, direct fire, so whether it was the hit rate or the viewing effect, it was very intuitive. At this time, a terrifying hole had appeared in the large wooden plank that was erected two hundred paces away, more than two feet thick, and was specially used to simulate the city gate!

"Oh my God!" Lao You couldn't close his mouth at all now, and said in his heart that if this cannon was fired at the city gate, what kind of city gate would not be able to block it!

Fei Fei, Ai Ai and Catwoman are relatively calm, they have already seen artillery fire in the virtual world that is a hundred times more exaggerated than this, and everything is just a small scene for them at the moment.

"It's good!" Buchen nodded with satisfaction, this cannon basically met his expectations.

Xue's face was a little pale, her complexion was already very white, and at this time, with such a complexion, she suddenly turned a little blue: "No, I think it is necessary for me to write a letter to His Majesty Lucius Crawn, the Grand Duke of our blood clan, to warn him never to come to the Eastern Continent again, otherwise the prestige of my blood clan will be ruined, and I am afraid that there will be no return!" ā€

Buchen smiled, feeling that Xue's reaction was a bit exaggerated: "As for it?" It's just an artillery, but it's still in the hands of a thief like me, not an official army. ā€

"As for!" Xue looked at him with a serious face, "Because you can build at least fifty cannons like this a month!" And the shells fired by such a cannon are simply not able to withstand our killing forces. ā€

Buchen shrugged his shoulders: "Xue, I understand your feelings, but don't write this letter, right?" ā€

Xue smiled bitterly, she just said that she was going to write a letter, but she was just talking, and she didn't really intend to write it.

"No, you don't have to worry, I won't write it." Xue said with a sigh.

Buchen nodded, he could still believe Xue's promise.

"Xue, I heard that your Grand Duke is a dragon knight?" At the mention of Lucius Crawn, an interesting question suddenly came to mind.

"Yes, he is the only dragon knight in this world. His mount, Arthas, is one of the few dragons in the world. Snow gave a brief introduction to Lucius and his mount.

"Snow, do you think the head of the dragon named Arthas can withstand the bombardment of this cannon?" Buchen asked with a wicked smile.

The green tendons on Xue's head jumped, her voice regained indifference, and she replied, "It should be able to withstand it, right?" The dragon's skeleton is inherently the hardest thing in the world except for diamonds, and the dragon's skull is the hardest bone in the dragon's body. ā€

"Oh, that's right." Buchen nodded slightly, and asked again: "Xue, what do you think is the lack of things that causes this cannon to be unable to penetrate the dragon's skull?" ā€

Xue frowned and thought for a moment, and replied, "Penetrating." ā€

Buchen continued to nod: "This cannon is a smoothbore cannon, and the cannonballs used are also round cannonballs with poor penetration, and it is normal that they cannot penetrate the dragon's skull." But if I develop a rifled cannon with a large Mini bullet, it should be enough, right? ā€

Xue now even had the intention of leaving the team and running back to the Western Continent to report to Grand Kung Kung Crow, she looked at Buchen with some horror, and her face showed a little bitterness: "Buchen, save a little face for us, the strongest race in the past, please!" ā€

Buchen smiled, pulled Xue to his side, and hugged him in his arms: "Don't worry, unless your compatriots run out again to do evil, fortunately let me bump into it, I won't go to them for trouble, I promise!" ā€

Xue sighed faintly in Buchen's arms and didn't say anything more.

Of course, if Xue knew that Lucius Crawn also knew how to make cannons, but she didn't dare to build them because she was afraid of the punishment of the "gods", and only took their people to live the life of medieval vampires, she probably wouldn't have the same thoughts as before, after all, compared with the fearless Buchen, Lucius Crowne, who was afraid of wolves and tigers, was too twilight......

Next, they tested the maximum range of the cannon again, by raising the elevation angle of the muzzle to the highest, and did not aim at any target, igniting the cannon and then looking for shells.

After repeated tests by several of Buchen's companions, the answer was that the maximum range of the twelve-pounder gun was nearly two miles, and the effective range was eight hundred to nine hundred meters.

"That's it!"

After the completion of the test of all the items that can be tested in a short period of time, Buchen decisively called a stop, because the remaining test items are the service life, and this can pick one or two workers to test slowly, there is no need for so many of them to pile up here.

After encouraging Li and Lu again, Buchen took his friends back to the manor.

On the way back, Lao You said with some unwillingness: "No, you really don't plan to raise troops to do a big job?" ā€

Hearing Lao You mention this stubble, the corners of Buchen's mouth twitched, but before he could answer, Fei Fei on the side rushed to say, "What are you hesitating about?" With such a powerful weapon in hand, a strong industry to support you, and a strong man like us to help you, how could you fail? ā€

Buchen glared at her, he knew that Fei Fei was playing with the idea of being a queen and a concubine again.

"I may be able to succeed in my rebellion, but that's not what I want!" Buchen shook his head and said: "Right now, there are many natural disasters, the whole world is in turmoil, it seems that it is a dangerous world, there is no shortage of heroes in such a world, even if I rebel, it is only one of the heroes!" What this world really lacks is heroes, heroes who can rise up when the end comes, and fight against all kinds of enemies endlessly! If I had to choose, I would want to be a hero, not a hero! At the end, he looked at Fei Fei with a disgusting expression and said, "I know I'm not a good person in your eyes, and it's a bit disgusting to say these things, but that's what I think!" ā€

Lao You stretched out his hand and patted Buchen's shoulder, not persuading him to rebel, although in Lao You's opinion, Buchen's person is actually more suitable to be a hero than a hero, but Buchen himself doesn't think so, as a buddy, he naturally can't fight Buchen.

"I support you, no minister!" Xue is clearly on the side of Buchen, and in the eyes of this blood girl, Buchen's ambition is undoubtedly noble.

"Gross!" Fei Fei couldn't help it anymore, and finally vomited.

Suddenly, Buchen and Xue's expressions were a little stiff.

"Ah, Fei Fei may have been smoked by gunpowder just now, I'll take her to rest!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Ai Ai hurriedly pulled her sister to flash.

Buchen was so bored, he glared fiercely at the back of Fei Fei, who was being pulled by Ai Ai and reluctantly fled, and coughed twice and said to Xue: "Thank you, Xue!" You're really my confidante! ā€

Xue reluctantly smiled and said, "I'll come to you when I practice at night", and also flashed people, so only Buchen, Lao You, and Little Catwoman were left on the scene.

Buchen and Lao You looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and sighed at the same time, Buchen sighed that his husband was not strong, and Lao You was lamenting the lack of his husband.

Maybe it's time to put the unruly Fei Fei in place?

Buchen couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.
