Listening to Guo Kang's words, Theodora fell into deep thought.

Guo Kang is very confident in her understanding, after all, according to the education of this era, she is higher than herself. Although the world of education and insight is different, Guo Kang believes that as long as enough information is provided, smart people can still understand what they should understand.

After he walked to the chariot, he found Li Xuanying, Jieshika and others, squatting in a row here, not knowing what to do.

"What the hell are you doing?" He said speechlessly, "Hurry up and prepare the cannon?" ”

"Well, isn't there something going on out there......" Brother Zelik defended.

"If you have something, it won't delay your loading." Guo Kang pointed out: "What are you hiding here? ”

Zelik said a few words to Jeska, who shook his head again and again, and then answered him in the affirmative. At the end, Zelik turned his head with some hesitation and looked at Guo Kang.

The captain said that when he was in Bohemia, he served in the queen's palace. In his experience, in this case, it is best to hide as far as you can. He said, "The ladies are not ordinary difficult to deal with. It's much harder to serve than a cannon. ”

"Can a Bohemian lady be so good at tossing?" Guo Kang whispered.

"Hey, it's all the same." Zerik frowned, smiled wryly and waved his hand: "I'll tell you, don't mention those pretentious noble ladies, even the ladies and ladies of the small aristocratic families, they are all like this." These women......"

"Guo Kang?" Theodora's voice came from the other side of the car: "Are you ready?" ”

"Alright, alright! We're looking for something! ”

Guo Kang hurriedly replied while driving everyone out one by one. The mercenaries hurriedly grabbed the ground, mops, sticks and other equipment, and ran to the gun emplacement, while others dragged the shell box next to it. Li Xuanying and Jeska also hurriedly straightened their clothes, pretended to be fine, and swaggered out.

"There's a lot of stuff here." Guo Kang covered up for them: "You see, there are several kinds of cannonballs alone. ”

He pointed to the side, where there was a box of stone projectiles on the ground, as well as several boxes of iron projectiles of various sizes. The soldiers moved the ammunition boxes to the place and went about other work.

"You're a good boss, and the soldiers and junior officers will like you." Theodora nodded and said.

"Huh?" Guo Kang didn't realize what she meant.

"The Bohemian dialect isn't too hard to understand, and Captain Jeska's voice is too loud." Theodora leaned over to his ear again and whispered, "Besides, Miss Jeanne is looking at you again. ”

Guo Kang turned his head and saw Jeanne angrily slapping the boar and turning away. Zhu Wenkui next to him looked at both ends, was at a loss, was stunned for a moment, flicked his sleeves in frustration, and walked towards the cannon.

"Oh, little Frank." Theodora smiled smugly.

“……”

Guo Kang was speechless for a while, not knowing what she was doing with this. Theodora didn't explain to him why he was so careful, and went to the cannon.

"What's the difference between these?" She asked, looking at the ammo box next to her.

"Stone bombs are for the Navy. Shi Ke said that they like stone bullets over there, which are said to be more destructive to wooden boats. Seeing that she was finally down to business, Guo Kang hurriedly explained: "The others are for siege artillery." We believe that iron bullets are more effective at destroying walls. ”

"Of course, there are other projectiles, like buckshot and the like. But in general, these two are the most used. I'd like to switch to iron bullets in the future, and I'm still trying to do my best. ”

"Why do they have to use stone bullets?" Theodora asked.

"They wanted to use projectiles of as large caliber as possible, so that they could cause more damage when shelling the opposite ship at close range. Stone projectiles are much less dense than iron bullets, and only less gunpowder is needed to throw large projectiles out. Moreover, in this way, the cannon can also be made lighter, and their boats can also be carried. Guo Kang explained.

"Anyway, there are wooden boats on the other side, and they will break if you smash them. Since the stone projectile is easy to shatter, it may also have multiple secondary damage effects. ”

Theodora didn't know much about this, and when he heard the words and thought about it, he asked Zhu Wenkui who came over: "I think that iron bullets and heavy artillery can hit farther and more accurately, why is it different from their ideas?" ”

"They don't need to fight far, anyway, if it's far away, it's basically for nothing." Guo Kang said: "If one day the ship is built big enough and thick enough, it is not enough to use stone bullets like now; Or it can be equipped with more advanced guns and hit more accurately. At that time, they may want to change to iron bullets. ”

"I think these people are too conservative. Do you have to wait for the enemy to change their clothes and be beaten a few times before they change with them? Zhu Wenkui questioned: "You should first try to build big ships, use cannons, and test new tactics." ”

"There's no way, most of the naval divisions are very conservative, much more conservative than our army. Moreover, it is still the Greeks' own land, and Shi Ke has to listen to them for many things now. Guo Kangzhi shook his head: "Do you know? The pole on which the icon hung at the back of the ship blocked the muzzle. I suggested that they dismantle it and install an extra cannon, but they felt that it was too unlucky, so they didn't want to live or die. ”

"They said that the icon was invited from the cathedral, but in fact, it wasn't just painted by Lama Wang, and I don't think the quality is very good." He sighed: "The captain said, understand my feelings, but the sailors are very superstitious, otherwise, he will not be able to command." So in the end, I had to give up. ”

"Then I'll try it next time. Go see what the hell is going on. Theodora thought for a moment and said.

"But, princess, you're not really a Greek, are you?" Zhu Wenkui asked.

Theodora's movements paused.

"It's okay, I'm a Roman." She replied: "The situation over there, you can wait for me to communicate with the fleet, it should be more convenient." ”

"Let's demonstrate it first." Seeing this, Guo Kang took the initiative to say: "You and Shizi stand farther away, just go to that platform." ”

He pointed to a tall tower next to it: "You can see the artillery position over there, and you can also look down on the target, and we usually observe the flight of the shells there, which is the best viewing position." ”

"What about you?" Theodora asked, "If I had known that you were like this every time, risking a new cannon, I shouldn't have let you come." ”

"Of course I'm supposed to be here." Guo Kang said as a matter of course: "This is the cannon I asked for improvement, I am not around, who of them dares to operate it with confidence?" ”

"I'm cautious in this regard. I've been working on artillery improvements for several years, and I haven't had an accident, so they all use the cannon as my nickname. Rest assured, it's all about experimenting with specially cast copper cannons, and it's safe. ”

Theodora was still a little dissatisfied, but Guo Kang claimed that he had the internal strength to not be afraid of accidents, and prevaricated her.

After the men left, he instructed Jeska and the others to remove the stone shells and stone cannons, and push the chariot over.

That's all for today's five chapters.

Commuter Pass and Alliance Leader's ...... It's a little too much. I suddenly realized that tomorrow would be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it might take years to make up for it.

Anyway, I'll try to hurry. Thank you very much for your support
