Ye Chunqiu turned around and hurried to the gun cabin, Wang Meng and Ye Si hurriedly followed with the officers of the Zhushui Division, in the gun cabin, the craftsmen had made all the preparations, and when they saw Ye Chunqiu coming, everyone held their breath. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ye Chunqiu said: "Prepare for test firing." ”

Because it was a test shot, it was all researchers and craftsmen to complete the shooting, several craftsmen carried the cannonballs in the bumpy boat with a slight tremble, stuffed the cannonballs into the breech, and then closed the gun door, and then, everyone looked at Ye Chunqiu, Ye Chunqiu nodded to the craftsman.

The craftsman pulled stiffly, and then, with a roar, in the gun cabin, white smoke rose, as if the whole ship was shaking, but Ye Chunqiu really ignored these, held on to a pillar beside him, and looked dead from the porthole.

Ye Chunqiu had no way to see the trajectory of the cannonball, only to hear a whistling, and after a few seconds, he saw that thousands of meters away, there was a huge roar, and the grenade exploded after entering the water with a tail flame, and suddenly splashed a huge wave several feet high, and the huge wave was mixed with gunsmoke and instantaneous fire, even if it was vaguely observed in the cabin, its huge power could still be seen.

Call......

Everyone was shocked.

At least Ye Si and Wang Meng's jaws are about to fall, Ye Si has seen a lot of artillery in Franco, but like this, it has never been seen before: "This is a miracle." He was pleasantly surprised and continued: "It's an absolute miracle. ”

Ye Chunqiu is a guaner, this is only the most crude howitzer, or rather, this is just an improved 'howitzer' on the basis of flowering shells, compared with the real howitzer, there is still a distance of a thousand flowering shells.

At this time, someone had already put down the boat, several sailors and two researchers got into the boat, and tried to row in the direction of the explosion, in addition to stuffing steel balls and gunpowder, as well as dye, they quickly reached the position of the shell, recorded the data, and rowed back, the two researchers climbed onto the deck with pale faces, and then began to report the data.

The firing range is about 2,000 steps, which is roughly more than 1,000 meters, this distance can not be said to be modern in later generations, even in the Civil War period, it also belongs to the scum level, but in this era, at least Ye Si was shocked.

He thought in disbelief that there was something wrong with his Chinese vocabulary, so he asked again, and after making sure that he had received the same answer, Ye Si could only smile bitterly, this range was at least more than double the range of the current Franc cannon.

This is followed by the report of various data, but the power of the howitzer is not introduced in detail, because on land, there have been experiments, which roughly means that if it is a ship, even the most 'advanced' Qinhuang now, the lethality is huge, and it is completely different from the iron cannon that is being found.

Ye Chunqiu roughly looked at the data, and immediately handed it over to Ye Si and Wang Meng to see, after the two of them saw it, they also felt incredible, the range was more than doubled the distance, according to the calculation of the power on land, it has a very powerful armor-piercing function, after the explosion, the power is amazing.

Wang Meng is understandable, after all...... In his mind, this artillery should be just a cannon that fires grenades, and it is understandable that it is powerful, but Ye Si was stunned, looking at the data repeatedly, and was in shock.

Immediately after a few more test shots, the situation is about the same, but there are a lot of places that need to be improved, such as the rubber under the artillery, has begun to have signs of heating and melting, but I am afraid that when the time comes, it is inevitable to add some heat insulation materials, and then the Qinhuang began to return, and then, the new army of Zhenguo will begin to produce this artillery, and large-scale production of shells, and when the dock of Qinhuangdao is almost completed, the fleet can go to Qinhuangdao for exercises.

On the way back, Ye Chunqiu sat in the cabin, accompanied by Wang Meng, Wang Meng looked at Ye Chunqiu, this may be the first time he looked at this teacher so closely, the teacher is a few years younger than himself, and he looks extremely young, but in his eyes, there is a kind of depth that does not match his peers, he has a smile on his face, and there is warmth in his smile.

At this time, Wang Meng remembered something: "Master, the power of this cannon is amazing, and it must be a sharp weapon in the sea at that time. ”

He felt that this was a hidden danger and couldn't help but bring it up.

Ye Chunqiu raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Really?" Do they have artillery, but matching shells? ”

"Ah......h

Ye Chunqiu said: "Even if there are reserves on the ship, how many days can they be used?" It's no longer as good as before, at least in the Zhenguo New Army, this road is impassable, there is no artifact in this world, behind the artifact, there are countless craftsmen who work silently, and countless researchers who make adjustments, and tens of thousands of gold and silver, especially this sailor, a boat is not important, the important thing is that behind this ship, whether there is the support of the Zhenguo Government, you don't have to worry about it, how about it, do you get along with Adjutant Ye well? ”

"It's not bad, the Francois are very smart, they don't talk about anything else, as long as the salary is paid on time and there are three meals a day, they are willing to work hard."

Ye Chunqiu's jaw is headed, everything looks at money, at this time, Francois is probably this mentality, without money, you are not as good as a pig and a dog, but if you have money, even if it is a widow part-time courtesan who has left an inheritance with a dead husband and left an inheritance, I don't know how many people worship under its pomegranate skirt, and some down-and-out nobles are even more so.

And Ye Chunqiu's so-called system support is also reasonable, whether it is the Zhenguo New Army or the Naval Division, it is no longer simply a military unit that relies on dry food to fight, their bullets and shells will be consumed in large quantities, and after they sail away, they need shipwrights to maintain and repair the ship, need to update the ship, and need a steady stream of shells for test firing and drills.

These are by no means visible after a ship has been hijacked.

Now, at least, it is no longer the time of mutiny, it is by no means an era when a fleet leaves its home port and arrives on a certain continent, it can raise a flag and rebel.

When he arrived at the port, Ye Chunqiu still got on the boat and landed on the dock, here, someone had already prepared a carriage for him, Ye Chunqiu got into the carriage and went straight back to Beijing.

The benefits of the crane car are reflected at this time, because the carriage is comfortable, and the speed is several times faster than the sedan chair, which makes it much more convenient for many people to go out, Ye Chunqiu comfortably leaned in the car and fell asleep.
