Chapter 1855 - Tungsten Core Armor-Piercing Bullet
After all, it was a group of real dragons.
It doesn't matter if they're quick or not, it's not a swarm of buzzing locusts, it's a real creature at the top of the food chain on Azeroth.
Just as everyone was watching, the purple-red ominous dragon cloud was getting closer and closer to the alliance's air fleet and fortress.
Everyone knows that unless it is a dragon who is good at magic, the attack range of the dragon basically does not exceed two hundred meters.
Two hundred meters away, the dragon can basically only be beaten passively.
Once two hundred meters in, the dragons will use their dragon breath, violent dragon bodies, sharp claws, and tails more terrifying than battering rams to teach any rude who dares to enter the dragon's killing range.
With the exception of a handful of powerful creatures such as Goron, the vast majority of beings will only feel the deepest feelings of despair and powerlessness in the face of dragons in close proximity.
The same is true for Alliance warships.
If the largest caliber of the main gun could not penetrate the dragon's scales and skin, then the smaller caliber secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns could not.
At this moment, the fortresses and ship battles of the alliance suddenly flickered with a blinding fire.
The coalition fired again.
No one took this round of artillery of the alliance seriously.
What looked like a billowing purple-red dragon cloud finally collided with the dense black dots that were combined with those shells.
Just as the new cannonballs were fired, Duke smiled and said, "Actually, dragon scales and dragon skins are good." We might as well think of them differently as beveled armor with higher tenacity, and if we find the right way, it's all about piercing them. ”
"Oh, really?" said Brian, rubbing his beard.
The great dwarf craftsman Gerbin also scratched his hairless Mediterranean head.
Why do dwarves and gnomes like Duke so much, isn't it because Duke always gives them a lot of scientific inspiration and allows them to advance the technology they love the most?
Duke has a lot of ideas, even more creative than Mimiron's whimsical ideas. What's more, most of Duke's ideas are viable.
Duke's words undoubtedly opened a new window for the two.
Even Mimiron groaned.
The rate of fire of the shells was fast.
If you have enough eyesight, you will realize that the cannonball is actually just a flying tool, but faster.
The cutting-edge shells dispersed the atmosphere at high speed, and even some of the shells dragged out long white lines as they passed through the clouds.
Metal remnants pulled pillars of light through the air, stabbing into the twilight dragons.
This time, these creatures from the black technology laboratory of the Black Dragon King's family were no longer so lucky, and they were pierced through their wings or directly pierced through their bodies in an instant.
Maybe it's the amount of gunpowder in the shells, or something else. Only a hundred twilight dragons wailed and fell from mid-air, spilling a rain of filthy and evil blood.
Even so, an incomparably loud cheer erupted in the fortress headquarters.
"Hooray!"
"Finally pierced those damn lizards!"
Obviously, less than a hundred Twilight Dragons were killed, which was a fur-level loss for a huge group of dragons with more than three thousand in number.
Hidden behind this small victory is the victory of mortals, the victory of technology.
The Coalition's technology continues to evolve, and today it is able to use its new inventions against dragons, the most advanced creatures in the planet's food chain.
Then it is not difficult to envision that in the near future, weapons capable of mass destruction of demons can be developed.
This is the most encouraging science and technology party, led by dwarves and gnomes.
Gerbin almost jumped in front of Duke and shook Duke's hand: "Congratulations, your [Tungsten Core Shelling Armor-Piercing Bullet] has succeeded!"
Duke smiled and replied, "It's our [Tungsten Core Armor-Piercing Projectile]!"
Gerbin said with great sincerity: "No, no, no, without your idea, none of us would have thought of such a method. We are just processors of science. ”
Duke uttered a very high-pitched sentence: "Well, in fact, I am just standing on the shoulders of scientific giants." ”
At this moment, even Brian, who was commanding, Mimiron, who was watching the battle, and a group of dwarves, dwarf scientists, and craftsmen, all stood in awe of Duke.
[Tungsten Core Armor-Piercing Bullet] is also something that Du made with the knowledge of the traverser.
Tungsten core shell-out armor-piercing bullet is actually a high-performance armor-piercing bullet developed after the 70s of the 20th century.
The warhead of this armor-piercing projectile adopts the principle of shelling and the new structure and new material of high-density tungsten alloy, which has the characteristics of high muzzle velocity, low trajectory elongation, short flight time, high hitting accuracy and large penetrating force, and can effectively deal with fast-moving targets.
The cross-sectional density of the bullet core is large, and contrary to the hard steel core or tungsten carbide bullet core in the whole crushing process, the tungsten alloy bullet core has good malleability, and has excellent secondary penetration characteristics with splash armor piercing, and the armor-piercing effect of large landing angle, sandwich and multi-layer structure composite armor is more obvious.
At home and abroad, large-caliber guns and small-caliber shells have been widely used as ammunition against lightly armored targets such as armored transport vehicles and armed helicopters.
It just so happened that Azeroth had discovered tungsten, and Duke used it by the way.
Originally, with the industrial base of the Alliance, it was not enough to process such a beautiful tungsten core armor-piercing bullet. With Mimiron's workshop, the problem was solved.
Just to avoid irritating the Temple of Dragon's Sleep, Duke deliberately ordered less gunpowder to be placed inside the armor-piercing bullets, and did not use additional fragmentation structures. But Duke ordered the seal to be engraved with some fire elemental runes.
Otherwise, this round of shelling alone will be enough to teach those twilight dragons with bad brains a lesson, and if they survive, remember to take a detour when they see the battleships of the alliance in the future!
In fact, the Twilight Dragon was hit this time, except for those unlucky ghosts who were particularly sad and had dozens of cannons in their bodies. Most Twilight dragons are wounded but not dead after being shot.
Not a fatal wound, but a flesh wound that just penetrated the scales and the dragonskin, but couldn't penetrate the muscles.
Stimulated by this round of shelling, the Twilight Dragons suddenly screamed and accelerated towards the Alliance's fleet.
On the other hand, the Green Dragon Legion was also taken aback. Seeing that the Twilight Dragon had a loss, but the loss was limited, they actually felt an inexplicable sense of relief.
Ah, it turns out that mortals are not particularly powerful.
In their hearts, the green dragons couldn't help but recognize the strength of the alliance.
Just as the dragons flew within a thousand meters of Naxxramas and the Sky Fleet, the fortress and the large ship that had struck the ship suddenly opened one hatch after another, revealing the real killing moves inside.
The entire airspace suddenly flickered with an extremely dazzling firelight.
