Luo Ling and the scholars finished their discussion and found that there were only a few shells left on the gun position.

She digested the information that the spirit of the book had just said, and the spirit would awaken, which was naturally a bad thing for the world, but it might be a good thing for the school. External pressures may bring humanity closer together, and it will also bring more opportunities for schools, and it is likely that there will be a coalition of various forces in the foreseeable future. She has mastered the three inheritances of the Tower of Dreams, the Tower of Forging, and the Tower of Stars by mistake, and as long as she has enough strength, she will occupy a very advantageous position in this alliance. She was going to take the time to talk to the Committee about the situation in two days.

The test firing of the pneumatic cannon on the field has all ended, and the audience burst into warm applause. There is no doubt that the head of the committee is satisfied with this result. The fan-shaped area in front of the gun emplacement, about 100 to 300 meters, was littered with fallen trees and craters, and some of the farthest shells fell more than 400 meters.

Although the power of this cannon is not as powerful as that of traditional artillery and the firing range is also short, it is not without advantages. Compared with a gun of comparable technical level, it has a faster rate of fire, is more concealed, safer, and does not require repeated cleaning of gunpowder residue in the barrel.

Meng Guoqiang said with a bit of pride: "Our industrial group is quite satisfied with this cannon, and it has considerable development potential. There have been several research directions on the issue of range and power: First, it is to engrave a stabilization and flying circle on the shell, which can immediately increase the range by more than double, but the cost is relatively high. Second, with the recovery of the steelmaking level of our industrial group, better steel will be used to make gas tanks in the future, and the air pressure in the gas tanks will be greatly enhanced with improved strong magic arrays. The third way of thinking is a bit more brainy, but the young people in the group have already found a way to solve it, which is to learn and improve the electromagnetic railgun array in the body of the electric wing silver dragon golem, and install a simple electromagnetic array inside the barrel, and at the same time open the gas tank to fire the cannonball, use the spar as a capacitor to power the power, and with the help of Lorentz force, achieve gas and electricity linkage launch. ”

"You're too whimsical, don't you, you want to build an electromagnetic cannon? This thing is cutting-edge technology even in our place, and you want to do it in this poor place. This is too big a jump, isn't it?" asked Commissioner Chu Ying.

Luo Ling was also quite surprised, after she returned to school, she handed over the two golems to the science team for research, she didn't expect these people to dare to think that they would move their brains to the body of the Holy Order Golem so quickly.

"Hey, old Chu. According to the research of the scientific group, the magic crystal is an extremely efficient energy carrier, and the magic array can provide a variety of amazing auxiliary effects, such as cooling the magic circle may solve the problem of heat dissipation in the electromagnetic system. Besides, we are not directly on the electromagnetic railgun, but only add an electromagnetic enhancement system on the basis of the pneumatic gun, and increase the propulsion of the gun when needed. This is not the same thing as going directly to the railgun. ”

"Okay, Lao Meng, last time you told me that this plan won't work for ten or eight years, don't fool Lao Chu with things that don't matter. Guo Qian said.

"Lao Chu is our God of Wealth, haha. "However, the second option should be possible in the near future." Okay, I've seen you the cannon, let's look at the gun. Wang, let's get started!"

Wang Jiyuan waved his hand, and several soldiers of the escort battalion erected three rows of targets fifty meters apart in the open space in the distance. On the other end, three fighters held three air guns and stood in a line fifty meters from the first row of targets.

Meng Guoqiang walked over and took a gun from a soldier and introduced: "We have modified the gun to a large extent, referring to some characteristics of modern high-pressure air rifles. ”

I saw that the gun was black and very slender. Compared to the dwarf's hand cannon, the appearance is much higher. To the rear of the barrel was a gas cylinder, covered with reinforcements. There is a notch above the trigger for placing buckshot.

"In the design of the gas cylinder, we used the reinforcement circle provided by the dwarf, and after Mr. Morey's modification, the actual inflation pressure actually exceeded that of modern air guns. That is, the muzzle kinetic energy of this air gun is greater than that of modern air rifles. Unlike the pneumatic gun, we managed to pull the rifling inside the barrel of this gun, which greatly increased the range and accuracy.

According to our calculations, under the condition of standard inflation, the muzzle kinetic energy of the bullet is about half of that of the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle, which is more than that of the Type 54 pistol. Mr. Morey also set up a more time-consuming and energy-intensive ultra-high-pressure inflation mode, in which case the kinetic energy of the first shot can be further doubled. ”

"In other words, in the case of a strengthened blow, the lethality of this gun is comparable to five or six and a half?" Chang Lin asked.

"This is more complicated......" Meng Guoqiang hesitated, not knowing how to explain this question clearly for a while.

Wang Jiyuan said: "You can't say that, the bullets used by the two are different. The air rifle uses Mini lead bullets, which are different from the five and a half copper-clad steel armor bullets, the penetration of lead bullets is very poor, but the stopping force is relatively good, and if it hits the human body at close range, the damage will be good. However, in the case that the enemy has the fighting spirit to wear armor, the effect is definitely not as good as five or six half. However, the advantage of Minny bullets is that they are simple to make and inexpensive. Of course, we are also working with the industrial team to develop more suitable bullets. ”

People around me who don't know much about military affairs are confused. Chang Lin smiled: "Although I didn't understand it all, I also understood what you meant, that is, the current bullet is not good enough, but we are developing better bullets, right?"

Wang Jiyuan and Meng Guoqiang glanced at each other, but nodded and said, "Just understand it like this." Old Meng, you continue. ”

Meng Guoqiang went on to say: "This gun can be effectively fired ten times when it is inflated at a time, and then the accuracy and power will decrease. But since we haven't made clips suitable for buckshot yet, we need to reload them by hand, up to three rounds at a time. But in order to reduce the failure rate, it is safest to load one bullet......"

After Meng Guoqiang's introduction, Wang Jiyuan announced the start of the test launch.

I saw that after the fighters were inflated and reloaded, they began to shoot. This air rifle has only a very light pop sound when firing, and the recoil is very small, and the hit rate at fifty meters is very good, and the bullets hit the target nine times out of ten. Later, when I shot a target at a distance of 100 meters, the hit rate dropped slightly, about three-quarters of the time, and at the end of the day, I hit a target at 150 meters, and half of the targets were hit.

The audience burst into applause again.

Guo Qian said: "Lao Meng, Lao Wang, it seems that this air gun can indeed be used as a substitute for individual weapons. Now that we can make guns, we can make cannons, and in my heart, I can finally drop a stone. ”
