The problem of infantry firepower was solved, and the next thing naturally was to think about artillery.

According to an episode of "Mythbuster", the traversers got a large and discarded high-pressure oxygen cylinder for the hospital. Hire someone to remove the small end in the small hardware factory, add a few wheels and an iron frame, and it becomes a simple cannon.

Because Wang Qiu and Professor Yang were making props for Qing Dynasty costume films, and because this thing was big and bulky, the people in the other factory did not suspect it at all, and they were very enthusiastic to paint it with black paint and spray the words "General in Red...... It's similar to Yuan Chonghuan's "one-shot erosion of dozens of miles" at the head of Ningyuan City, claiming to have killed the red-clothed cannon of **Hachi, the chief of the wild boar Pitunguska.

Cannonballs don't have to worry about it, get a few bowling balls and smear a little lard is a haode shell, if you are loaded with enough gunpowder, the bowling balls can fly more than 1 kilometer - the real trouble is that the accuracy of this kind of artillery is very poor, and the trajectory is very weird, bombarding a fixed target can be improvised, and if you want to hit a moving target, even a large warship, it is an almost impossible task.

The most terrible thing is that this kind of artillery made of oxygen cylinders will actually turn around when the shell is flying, blowing up its own people into the sky!

In addition, it takes a lot of time to reload and clear the chamber every time, making it quite slow to fire.

Therefore, after a few fearful test firings, this "Red General" cannon was abandoned by the traversers.

Because they already have a more reliable and powerful long-range strike firearm -- as long as the large fireshell is placed flat and ignited, it is a proper disposable portable Katyusha rocket launcher! 30~60 rings at a time! It's amazing!

In fact, the appearance of this kind of large fireworks bomb is also very similar to that of rocket artillery - the shell left after this kind of fireworks is mostly a strong metal tube, with a diameter of about 20 centimeters and a height of about 1.2 meters, and each metal pipe has 4 thin metal pipes as a support. Southerners generally call this kind of fireworks "cupola".

In addition, this kind of fireworks bomb also has a wealth of actual combat experience - every Spring Festival, a bunch of unlucky people in China will be killed!

According to Wang Qiu's investigation results, a few years ago, there was a guy in Beijing who set off this kind of fireworks, because the fireworks shelf was not stable, and accidentally fell on the eve of the launch. As a result, the firework bullet was released flat, and a single shot pierced through the two layers of steel plates of a taxi, resulting in the death of one passenger!

In addition, there was an unlucky boss in Guangdong, who ordered a large fireworks bomb by himself, but because the manufacturer he was looking for was not up to the mark, the boss had an accident when he released it -- the first fireworks were crooked after being fired, and the second shot was fired on the roof of his house 50 meters away, knocking off half of his small reinforced concrete house. Then the remaining fireworks bombs were not launched at all, and all of them exploded on the spot, and a three-meter-deep crater was blown up in the ground in an instant, and several people bled to death on the spot......

Such a powerful "civilian version of Katyusha" should be more than enough to bombard the battleships and wooden fortresses of the Spanish barbarians in the 16th century!

It is said that a well-known "nail household" in Wuhan has long used this invincible weapon to repel the attack of the demolition team three times.

What's more, according to the news that Wang Qiu called and consulted, the fireworks factory in Liuyang, Hunan Province, has been producing modular multiple rocket fireworks since the end of the last century, whether it is range, rate of fire (generally one shot per second), explosion height, explosion pattern, or explosion power, can be customized according to customer requirements. The fireworks factory he asked about can produce rocket fireworks that can rise up to 650 meters, and if you make a bracket and fire obliquely at an angle of 45 degrees, the maximum range is estimated to be more than two kilometers! It even exceeds the effective range of many naval guns in the early days of the Sail Age! And if the explosion is set to its maximum, it will be enough to blow the thickest deck of this era into sawdust! …,

-- The fireworks bomb is just a packed bag of explosives. The small one usually has the volume of two fists, and the large one weighs dozens of pounds and is the size of a bucket. If that thing doesn't die when it hits a person, the target must be to open the protagonist's aura......

What's more, the weight of this kind of multiple rocket fireworks is much lighter than that of bronze artillery, and it can be carried by soldiers over mountains and mountains. In addition, the price of firework bombs is cheaper than that of genuine arms and their own imitation of metal cannons, and it is relatively easy to purchase them in large quantities -- at the opening ceremony of the Shanghai World Expo alone, a full 100,000 firework bombs were released at once!

Since then, this firecracker factory in Liuyang, Hunan Province, has become one of the important arms suppliers of Wang Qiu's team......

In addition to the Drill Monkey and the Fireworks Bomb, the Travelers also used other fireworks to kill them, such as placing two kicks on the ground at an angle to act as a small mortar. Or let the Indian slingers directly throw a "thunderbolt" with a sling, and use it as a grenadier and so on. Except for the ballistics, which are more difficult to grasp, all other performance is much stronger than the early musket guns of this era.

-- After all the above experiments were completed, Wang Qiu felt that he had evolved into a fairly qualified terrorist.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Now that gunpowder weapons are already available, then the training work must also keep up.

Although the "civilian munitions" ordered from Hunan have not yet fully arrived, adaptive training can already be carried out.

Ever since his initial exploration of the Aztec Empire, Wang Qiu has managed to procure a number of large-sized two-kicker firecrackers from the city, which they set off on the top of the pyramid of Hope Harbor every day to exercise the hearing of the lonely citizens - firecrackers are set off every morning to urge the logging team to get up and work, and firecrackers are set off in the evening to tell everyone to call it a day. Sometimes, at night, there are flowers for everyone to enjoy...... Although this is not at all the same thing as a real rain of bullets, at least it can make the subjects of the kingdom of Hungyutizgan not too afraid in the face of the sound of the Spanish guns.

At first, the citizens of Port Hope heard the loud sound of firecrackers and were so frightened that they all fell to the ground, but after a long time, they gradually got used to it. After a few more days, there are already some bold children and young people who can carefully light the fuse under the command of the traverser.

In addition to adaptive training, ideological education is also a very important content - Archangel Wendesi made a slide projector, pulled up the curtain on the square in front of the pyramid, and then found a moonless night to gather the citizens to watch a movie. The content of the screening is from disaster films and war films such as "2012" and "Perfect Storm", intercepting various horror scenes such as sky collapse, hurricanes and tsunamis, forest fires, and shijie destruction.

After the Indians were stunned and trembling, Moonson came forward and told everyone that this year a white-skinned demon would come from the east and bring the aforementioned terrible disaster to the land. Only by repelling their invasion, or at least by driving them to the seas of the East, can the kingdom be spared doom of destruction...... Zuihou also pulled out a bunch of large posters of later Spanish celebrities (mainly Barcelona football stars) to let everyone see what the upcoming "white devil" looks like, so as not to accidentally make a mistake.

As a result, when he became a real Yujian Spanish explorer in the future, the women's army under the command of President Wen said that these people were much uglier than the portrait.

In short, just tinkering with firearms and scaring the natives, time flies...... One day, Wang Qiu counted the days with his fingers and found that several days had passed in modern time and space, and in Central America in the 16th century, it had entered April 1519.

- The Spaniards are finally coming!
