Chapter 147: Artillery Test, Amazing Power

With his help, the research and development progress of weapons has jumped very quickly.

The first experimental weapons have rolled off the assembly line and are ready for testing.

Come to the research institute and set off with everyone who has been prepared to test at a special test site outside the town.

Four snow versions of the magic trucks are ready, two of which are loaded with all the weapons that need to be tested.

This time, a total of four guns were to be tested, as well as a heavy machine gun and a portable machine gun.

Although it seems to be very small, most of it is occupied by artillery and also carries some test ammunition.

And the other two cars, except for some ammunition stuffed in each car, were stuffed with people everywhere.

After all, the weapons were designed for them, and some deficiencies also needed to be proposed and modified by them.

With the arrival of the personnel, the group set off for the shooting range three kilometers south of QY City.

The weapons training work of the troops in Qingyuan Town is carried out here, after all, there is still a certain risk in the firearms training work, and if the residents who do not know the reason break in, the accidental injury caused will be serious.

After all, there is no such thing as a so-called training bomb, and the lethality of the shots is real.

The distance of three kilometers was not long at the speed of a truck, and after arriving at the designated position, the engineers and soldiers in the two trucks began to unload the weapons and learn how to install them.

Four different guns were also assembled and pushed to the preset site.

As a phobia of insufficient firepower, Goodern still has to pay attention to the development of artillery comparable firearms.

Four types of artillery, three of which are conventional gunpowder cannons and one of which are magic cannons.

Among the gunpowder artillery, the most eye-catching is the 105mm gunpowder howitzer, this guy occupies a whole car in space, and after the assembly is completed, it is also a giant.

The other two were a little mini in front of it, a 60-mm mortar, and a 75-mm field gun.

Each of the three guns had its own purpose, with the 105 howitzer being used to support long-range covered fire strikes, and the 75 mm field gun being placed on the city wall to inflict direct fire kills on the enemy.

The final 60mm mortar is a light support type of weapon, which can be carried around for support attacks.

The only magic cannon among the four guns is a bit special, its research and development is directly from the 75 mm no field cannon on the basis, the caliber is also maintained at 75 mm, and due to the portable particularity of magic, the overall structure of the magic cannon is only half of the field gun, and the overall weight is only less than 200 kilograms.

If this weight is considered to allow only soldiers above the middle rank to carry on foot, including a base of 12 rounds of ammunition and all the parts of the artillery, it only takes three people to complete it all.

Due to the existence of professionals, the situation that more manpower was required to carry the operation did not occur here, and one person could carry two or three.

Preparations were quickly completed, and the first test was Gooden's much-anticipated 105 howitzer.

For this kind of large-caliber monster, the radius of destruction of a grenade can reach ten to twenty meters under the normal data panel.

But now his gunpowder skills are not so good, and this panel may shrink a lot, but it will not be much worse.

The engineer commanded the soldiers, teaching them step by step the operation of loading and aiming, and when everything was ready, the commander gave the order to fire, and as the launcher pulled the trigger cord, the 105 howitzer fired with a loud fire.

"Boom ———"

The impact of the flames from the muzzle of the cannon blew away the snow next to it and melted it, and Gudeen, who was already prepared, couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard the sound of the cannon firing.

The grenade with its white tail mark flew towards the pre-aimed target, and a little more than a second after firing, the grenade reached the target of the meter.

The orange-red warhead exploded in an instant, creating a heat wave with a warhead

The metal fragments stored inside eject at an extremely high velocity, destroying everything in its vicinity.

Goodern, who was watching, looked at the weak point of the grenade, and it was about seven or eight meters away from the target, but there were still traces of bullet marks on the brick wall target.

It was not uncommon for the first aimed fire to miss, and then a team of engineers quickly drove to the point of impact to record the parameters of the gun's explosion.

After a while, it withdrew and carried out a second attack.

With the parameters of the first time, the second fire directly hit the brick wall target, and the three-meter-long, three-meter-high, three-story standard width brick wall was destroyed and collapsed in an instant in the face of a direct hit from the 105 howitzer.

Then repeat the first record, go back, shoot again.

There are a total of six howitzer targets, two brick walls, four cement walls of different thicknesses, and test scenes.

Sixteen fires were fired, and the specific parameters of the 105 howitzer were almost groped.

The standard high-explosive grenade has a killing radius of about 13 meters, a maximum range of more than 8 kilometers, and an unclear rate of fire, but after the subsequent quantity, it is inevitable to ensure that each point is more than 1.5 kg.

Although this equivalent destructive force cannot break through the cement steel fortress, the cement wall below the meter cannot be below the shock wave it brings.

This is a result of the chicken test.

After all, Goodern can't let people get into the fortress and let people attack the test, although the chicken's physique is different from that of humans, but it can also show that a concrete wall below this thickness can cause damage under the attack of a direct-fire howitzer.

For this data, Goodern only needs to know that it is time to exceed this standard in the future, which can bring the possibility of accidental injury.

Goodern was pleased with the howitzer's test results, and then continued to look forward to the weapons tests that followed.

The data of the mortar turned out that the maximum firing range was 3.8 kilometers, the minimum firing range was 60 meters, the firing angle was 45 to 85 degrees, and the rate of fire was one round in three seconds, and one minute was 20 rounds.

Due to its own characteristics, the mortar has a full amount of warheads, and the killing radius of one shot is 11 meters, which is comparable to the range of 105 howitzers, and is very suitable as a light support weapon.

And the 75 field gun, with a maximum firing range of more than six kilometers and the same rate of fire as a howitzer, has not been trained and tested at the moment, and it is impossible to know the specific number, but there is no problem with one shot in ten seconds.

At the same time, as a weapon that needs to be installed on the city wall, its depression angle reaches a minimum of negative and a maximum of three.

The high firing angle gives it an unrivalled degree of flexibility.

At the same time, as an armor-piercing projectile, it is also the only weapon that can penetrate a 20-centimeter concrete wall.

Of course, field artillery not only has armor-piercing shells, but also anti-personnel shells similar to grenades, and the killing range is not as wide as the first two, only a little more than seven meters.

But the so-called weapon that can shoot directly, he does not need to have a full range calculation to calculate the trajectory, and only needs to aim to shoot and kill, which is extremely convenient to operate.

Three gunpowder cannons have been tested, and the last magic cannon to appear is also the weapon that Goodern cares about and is interested in.

Although the magic cannon uses the name artillery, the actual core body is not a cannon, but a cannonball.

The body of the gun, knowledge of a fixed and automatic preloading mechanism capable of continuous fire.

If you don't want it, just bring the barrel and launcher, and the weight of the magic cannon will be 100 percent heavier than the 60 mortar, about a little more than 30 kilograms.

This weight allows a mid-tier warrior to carry it not only by one person, but also with an additional base of ammo.

The Magic Cannon's auto-reload function can achieve a rate of fire of one round per second, and the amount of ammo for one auto-reload is also a base of twelve rounds.

And when shooting, the hand speed is fast enough to keep the magic cannon at a rate of one shot per second to attack and fire.

But the price of doing so is burning money.

That's the point of the magic cannon

Above the shells.

At present, a total of six types of ammunition have been developed.

Standard high-explosive shells, high-explosive bombs, magic incendiary bombs, electromagnetic armor-piercing shells, smoke bombs, flares.

The cheapest of the six types of ammunition is a standard high-explosive shell, which costs three 105 grenades or 4.5 shells for 75 field guns.

The most expensive high-explosive bombs and magic incendiary bombs cost about the same, and one is also the price of three standard high-explosive bombs.

Although the names may seem to be related to magic, the only ones that seem to be related to magic are magic incendiary bombs, and electromagnetic armor-piercing bullets.

In fact, these shells are all made of magic, and some other physical materials have a kill or secondary effect.

The cost of a howitzer is only 2.7 silver coins, a standard high-explosive shell costs 8.1 silver coins, and the two most expensive models cost 24.3 silver coins.

This may not seem like a lot, but you must know that this thing is a cannonball, and it is the kind that cannot be recycled, and it is still a price per piece.

According to Goodern's plan, there are six magic cannons in the first batch, each of which requires a special ammunition reserve of 100 rounds, and more than standard rounds.

But now that I have calculated it, the amount of money invested in this way is more than eight hundred gold, and this is only a reserve of shells, and it does not calculate the cost of the magic cannon and the price of subsequent parts replacement.

But even with such an expensive price, Gooden gritted his teeth and prepared to arrange it.

After all, the performance of magic cannons is too superior.

Except for smoke grenades and flares, which are of the auxiliary type, the six magic shells were not continued after a round of testing, and the remaining four shells each.

The standard high-explosive bomb has the help of fire element, wind element, colorless element and gunpowder, various reaction grippers, and the final radius killing range reaches a range of twenty meters, which is still unstoppable under a full set of armor, and further out, within half a meter, it also has extremely terrifying lethality to dummy targets without armor....

And with the help of magic, the range of all magic shells is at least to start in, due to the current measurement and speed problems, there will be no way to measure the accurate maximum distance for a while and a half, so the maximum firing distance is after a test shot, then look at the angle and flight trajectory to roughly estimate the range.

The second type of sub-mother high-explosive bomb adopts a tiny projectile design, and is equipped with a catapult setting, and the killing range is somewhat different from that of standard high-explosive bombs.

The third magic incendiary bomb, Goodern combines the combination of solidification** and white*, plus the burning magic, which can instantly create an area of flame that is about thirty meters long.

And in the case of no combustibles, it can also continue to burn for more than 20 minutes.

And the final electromagnetic armor-piercing projectile is a reset of the magic cannon he originally planned to design.

When it was originally designed, Goodern's first eye was the electromagnetic gun, but after the most practical research and operation, it was found that this thing was not impossible to get, but the cost was too great, and it was not practical, so he had to give up and adopt the structural design of the gun.

The electromagnetic armor-piercing projectile borrows the acceleration of electromagnetic force, which allows the cannon to be ejected and fired, and then with the acceleration of electromagnetic force, a metal rod is accelerated to the speed of sound and killed with kinetic energy.

The final test results of such a design also shocked Goodern.

The last cement fortress, with a cement layer half a meter behind the front, was directly bombarded with a fist-sized hole in the face of electromagnetic armor-piercing bullets, and also pierced the 20-centimeter wall on the back, leaving a half-meter-wide metal debris crater not far away.

With such a terrifying penetrating ability, if you continue to attack one point, with the protection of Qingyuan Town, you can penetrate it with up to three shots.

This is not an exaggeration by Goodern, but the fact that the walls were not built entirely with cement, but with two layers of cement at the core, and the rest were made of bricks.

Its protection capacity is definitely not comparable to that of a half-meter-thick cement fortress.

It can even be said that if there are too many three cannons, two cannons can be penetrated.

The test results of the magic cannon not only surprised and surprised Goodern, but even the people who tested it together were frightened by this terrifying lethality.

But in the end, everyone's faces showed a look of joy, with such a weapon, Qingyuan Town would only be safer, even if the orcs attacked, they didn't have to be so afraid.

After all, all fear comes from a lack of firepower.

If one cannon can't kill it, then two cannons will come, and if two can't kill it, then concentrate on the fire salvo attack.

Under such firepower, even if you let the transcendent come, you may not dare to resist.

The test work on the artillery lasted almost two hours before it was completed.

Then came the testing of firearms, weapons and some gadgets.

This part of the weapons can actually be tested in a special test site in the town, but it just happens that there will be a large-scale test today, so I will bring it to the test by the way.

The test of the weapon part also made Goodern look forward to it, although there were only a dozen test items and only a few weapons.

But these are the most recent weapons of soldiers, and they look small, but if they are numbered, it will be very objective.
