Chapter 287: Under the Finalization of Artillery

Wherever there are many monsters, they will push to them? These scientific researchers have come to their senses.

"That's right, it's called mobility, and this long-barreled cannon is designed to be penetrating, which is indeed more lethal to those very large magical beasts than explosive shells, so it's also essential. ”

The middle-aged man in his thirties was a little proud, it seemed that the design plan of their group had also been approved by Flandee, and it was still used to deal with large demonic beasts.

You must know that the larger the size of the demonic beast, the higher the level will be, and it is also an honor to use the artillery they designed to deal with it.

"Finally, let's talk about this small artillery, if you can, you might as well design it smaller!"

"Huh, how small is the design?" the little young man looked surprised.

"Yes, you see, why do you have to get two wheels for such a small artillery? Doesn't it mean that two people can pick it up and run? If you remove the wheels, can you carry it by one person?"

"Yes, you can, but it's still too heavy to carry alone without wheels. ”

"So if you want to design a little smaller, as long as one person can run with the barrel on your shoulder, you don't have to pursue power in particular, in fact, there are always few high-level Warcraft on the battlefield, and the most are those low-level Warcraft. ”

"Lord Dean, are you saying that we will use the artillery we designed to fight low-level demonic beasts?" the small young man was a little frustrated.

"Yes, it's not that this small artillery you designed is useless, but it is of great use, because this kind of artillery is to be made the most, think about it, how much large artillery do we need for our 100,000-strong army to garrison the battlefield of Dukemahon? How much do you need for medium artillery? And how much do you need for this kind of small artillery?"

The eyes of the little young man lit up, yes, although it is not very powerful, but it can be won by numbers.

"Well, these four types of artillery have their own advantages, only when they are used together, will the power of the artillery be fully exerted, you don't need to study which artillery to use, but to study the number of guns. ”

Senior Barry was already convinced when he heard what Flandy said, and he secretly complained to himself, why didn't he think of this?

"Flandy, you said it so well, it is true that every artillery piece has its merits, and it seems that the hard work of our scientists has not been in vain. ”

"Hehe" Franky smiled and said, "Then let's start testing the cannon and see how powerful the various cannons are." ”

"Okay, let's get started!" Senior Barry agreed excitedly.

Since the first artillery test was carried out, the newly built two-story building was destroyed, and many targets specially used for testing artillery have been built at the artillery test site.

The target is also simple, that is, let the earth magician use magic to form stone walls one after another.

These stone walls, some large, some small, some thin, some thick, and so on, were designed to test the power and accuracy of various artillery pieces.

Senior Barry stood aside and shouted loudly: "The first group of artillery is ready! There is no one in front of you, you can open fire! Prepare!

Unlike the first test, it was not known how much gunpowder the metal barrel would have to be balanced.

But after such a long time, this has long been verified, and even the shells have been designed, and there is no danger of blowing up the barrel.

The first group of artillery was the thickest and heaviest artillery, and with the order of Senior Barry, there was a loud "boom", and the shells that were almost invisible to the naked eye flew out with a flash of fire.

It is a pity that the artillery still uses black huo poison, which is far from explosives such as black scarves in terms of power, and the distance of shelling is much worse.

But even so, the shell flew out three thousand meters away, and the moment it hit the ground, there was a loud "boom".

Due to the fact that artillery has been around for a short time, the firing trajectory of artillery shells has not been studied in depth, let alone such disciplines as ballistics.

Therefore, these scientific researchers who operate artillery basically rely on their own experience to aim.

The point of impact of this cannon was still more than ten meters away from the nearby stone wall, and the power was indeed quite good, directly blasting the ground into a large crater with a diameter of more than two meters.

"Let's go and see how powerful it is!" Brandie took the lead, and Senior Barry and several researchers followed directly to the edge of the pit.

At this time, there were still a few wisps of black smoke from the crater that had just been blown open by the shells, almost a meter deep, and a strong smell of gunpowder smoke went straight into the nostrils.

"The power is good, it is estimated that even if the cannon of the sixth or seventh level of the demonic beasts did not hit directly, the explosion would kill them. Franky was very satisfied.

To be able to hit a distance of three kilometers and blow up such a big crater, it is no longer possible to put forward higher requirements, after all, the time is too tight, and there are only a few months left before the attack of the Warcraft.

"Alright, let's look at the power of the other artillery. ”

The group observed for a long time, and the recorder next to him wrote down all the data of this shelling in a notebook, and then returned to the position of the artillery.

"The second group of artillery is ready! There is no one in front, you can open fire! Ready! Release!"

The second group is the kind of artillery that is neither big nor small, similar to the first group of artillery, but because of the small caliber, the shells are also relatively small, much closer than the first group of artillery, about 2,500 meters, and the crater is also much smaller, only one and a half meters in diameter.

"It's okay, although the power is a little worse, it's still okay for two people to push it, unlike that cannon, which requires at least five people to push. ”

Although Flandi thought so, he praised it for a long time, which made the scientists in this group very happy.

Then it was time to test the cannon with a long barrel, and with the command of Senior Barry, there was another loud "boom", and the shells flew out.

I don't know if it was because of accurate aiming, or because of shit luck, this cannonball hit a thick stone wall, and the cannonball swept the upper half of the stone wall away, and the stones around the stone wall splashed everywhere and fell like rain.

"Good!" Flandy exclaimed, and he realized that the power of using black medicine to make an explosive cannonball was indeed a little smaller, and the power of this solid bullet was not much less than that that of an explosive.

And this kind of cannonball is indeed like what the middle-aged man said, the penetration is very strong, the half-meter-thick stone wall is directly passed through by it, and the huge kinetic energy is the reason why the stone wall is broken.

Hearing Flandie, the dean, shout hello, the middle-aged man was excited, and looked at the other groups with a sense of pride.

The last one was the smallest gun, and Flandi studied it and turned the elevation angle of this gun very high.

"What are you doing, my lord?" asked the little young man, puzzled, as he watched Franky fiddle with him.

"I want it to be closer. ”

"Huh? Why?"

The first few cannon tests were all about hitting as far away as possible, and the little young man couldn't have imagined the point of Frandy doing this.

"Stupid, do you know how high the wall of the Duk Mahon battlefield is, and how can you attack if the demonic beast attacks near the city wall?"

"Then you can attack it by turning it up like this?" the little young man still didn't understand.

"Just look at it!" Flandy adjusted the elevation angle of the small cannon to about seventy-five degrees, and said, "Come on, let's test the cannon!"

"Okay!" replied Senior Barry, and began to order again.

"The fourth group of artillery is ready! There is no one in front, you can open fire! Ready! Release!"

Everyone saw that after the sound of "boom", the shell flew much higher than the previous three groups of guns, and then fell straight down, landing at a distance of about 500 meters.

"So you can get close!" the little young man suddenly realized.

"Got it?"

"Got it!"

"Okay, then I'll give you a mission!"

"Huh, what task are you going to give me, Lord Dean?"

"Not only your small artillery, but also several other guns have to go through a lot of experiments, calculate the point of impact of the shells at each angle, and then look for their patterns, and it is best to summarize a set of formulas, so that in the future the shells can be hit much more accurately than now. ”

"Yes, Dean!"
