After a busy day, Chi Nan finally prepared the goods this time. Although the roads on the Huangshaling side are as uneven as the Hongshaling side, the roads on that side have been corrected in order to transport iron ore.

Although the road is not very wide, it is okay to let the caravan walk. Chi Nan spawned some wood, made some wooden carriages, and captured some horses around to pull the carts.

Speaking of which, because of the raging orcs in Remas, many horses have run out of the wild and become wild horses. Now that they have been driven all the way to this place by the beastmen, they can still find a lot of horses in the wild. It's just a pity that the horses are uneven, and they are frightened, and it is difficult to form a strong cavalry force.

After sending Lao Mka away, Chi Nan scattered the soldiers around while continuing his research. The reason why he was separated from the team was because Chi Nan wanted to seize the time to conduct research.

Because he found that the pea cannon still had a big flaw. "The hard-shell pea cannon is too light in weight and too elastic. When hitting an orc, some of them will bounce off due to the angle, and they will not be able to exert their maximum power. ”

"In addition, the shape of the pea cannon is still not too suitable, there is only one hand stick, which causes the recoil to easily cause deformation when firing. The shape problem, I don't know how to solve it, but this shell. ”

Chi Nan had been thinking about it for several days, and on this day, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a solution.

"By the way, since hard-shell shells won't work, why don't you switch to soft-shell shells. Hitting the target will be deformed, and it will be attached to the target in disguise, so that all the kinetic energy can be fully exerted. However, if it is too soft, it will cause a decrease in penetration. Then the hardness must be suitable. ”

Chi Nan looked at the bark and had a new idea. The bark is very hard, but it cannot be said that it is not soft. That being the case, wouldn't it be better to turn the hard shell on the surface of the pea into this layer of fiber-wrapping?

Thinking of this, Chi Nan began to experiment. A pea cannon soon grew. The hard shell on the bullet has also become your soft shell wrapped in layers of fibers. It is said to be a soft shell, but it is actually very hard.

Then, Chi Nan pulled the rope and shot the bullet. The beans hit a big tree hard, and at this angle, if you change it to a hard-shell bullet, it will definitely bounce off, and the bark will only be broken a little.

But after the soft-shell bullet hit, the shape changed a little in an instant. Because the deformation absorbs the lateral elastic force, the bullet is not bounced off quickly. In just such a short time, the speed of the bullet was too fast, and it flew out directly against the trunk of the tree. The bark exploded, and even the wood inside was slid open at the same time.

Such an attack, if it fell on the beastmen, would definitely make them lose a large part of their combat effectiveness.

"Very well, what about a frontal attack. Chi Nan fired again, this time aiming at a rock.

The frontal bullet hit the stone with a "snap" sound, and the bullet damaged itself a lot. However, because of the relationship between the fiber layers, although there is damage, it is not completely broken. In the middle of the stone, there is a small hole.

"It's good, it's not a very hard stone, but it's nice to be able to make it like this. In terms of penetration, it is a bit worse than a hard-shell bullet, but because it does not shatter, it is not too weak against the Orc. If you want to continue to increase the power, you may be able to increase the weight of the bullet. ”

Chi Nan muttered to himself as he continued to experiment. The soldiers not far away were already wide-eyed.

"Oh my God, are you making a new generation of pea cannons, this pea cannon seems to be much more powerful than our pea cannons. A soldier whispered.

"Nonsense, if the power is worse, the lord will have to study what to do. ”

"Great, I have better weapons to use, I really want to go to the battlefield and fight the beastmen. ”

Chi Nan didn't listen to what they were talking about, but focused all his attention on transforming the pea cannon. The best way to strengthen the weight of the beans is to reduce the volume of the beans themselves, increasing the number and density of fibers around them. After mastering a certain level, Chi Nan began to experiment.

"Use seeds of different weights and experiment with them. ”

Soon, Chi Nan made different types of beans separately and replaced them with the pills by filling them. The person who can put beans directly into the pea cannon like this is probably the only one who can do it.

One by one, the beans were beaten, and different targets were chosen. After the test, Chinan found that if the beans were too light, the bullets would float after being launched, which would affect the accuracy.

However, if the beans are too heavy, because the amount of gas compression in the pea cannon is not enough, it will affect the range and even the attack power.

In the case of relatively heavy beans, the accuracy of the bullet will be improved a lot. This also makes it easier for the soldiers to aim at their targets. After a full day of experimentation, Chi Nan finally found a suitable weight.

"It's twice as heavy as the original hard-shell bullet, so it doesn't affect the range too much, and the accuracy is greatly improved, and it's more powerful. Such a fiber bullet has no less penetrating power than a hard-shell bullet, and it will not be bounced open or shattered. Very good, then the next pea cannon 3.0 will be officially launched. ”

After the Chi Nan experiment, I felt much better than the previous pea cannon. So Chi Nan immediately planted and gave birth to some, first updating the pea cannons of the soldiers around him, and then asking a soldier to notify the army fighting in front of him to come back.

"Actual combat is the only test of weapons, so let those damn berserkers test the power of my new weapon. "Chi Nan began to plant this new pea cannon in full swing.

And the soldiers, who had received the new weapons, were happier than anything else, and ran excitedly towards the place where the army was. Every two days, the army would come to deliver information to Chinan, so they knew where Chinan was.

In a short period of time, countless mad orcs have been exterminated. Their territory has expanded by at least five times according to its size. There is no way, and it is also because Hongshaling is too small. It seems that the surrounding area is large, but only one Hongsha Ridge is its own territory. The surrounding areas are all wastelands that do not belong to the empire, and no one will develop and use them at all.

However, even if you count the surrounding wasteland, the area of your territory is equivalent to more than doubling.
