The center of the explosion was quite tragic, and a huge pit lay there, filled with the strong smell of gunpowder.

The scarecrows in the neighborhood are also scattered.

If it is replaced by a real soldier, it is estimated that the damage is not small.

Of course, there are a lot of scarecrows here, a lot to be exact, like a big army.

After all, the power of a shell is limited, and the radius within a few meters is greatly affected, and it is either dead or wounded.

A few meters away, the power was drastically reduced, and at most some of the shockwaves swept the warrior away, although it could also cause some damage, but obviously it had little effect.

And if it's farther away, it hardly has any effect, just listen to the sound.

The situation around us at the moment speaks for itself.

The scarecrow at the center of the explosion was completely destroyed, and the stumps were scattered everywhere.

A few meters away, the scarecrow showed signs of flying upside down and being thrown out, but there was little damage, and farther away, it was completely unaffected.

This is also because the scarecrow is more vulnerable, and if it is replaced by a real soldier, the damage will be minimal.

Of course, even so, in this era, the red-coated cannon is still a dimensionality reduction strike.

Wu Qiaojun asked, "Husband, how do you feel?" ”

What how?

Lin Bai looked confused, isn't the red-clothed cannon like this?

Wu Qiaojun smiled mysteriously and said, "Look at the armor on those scarecrows around you." ”

Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, then looked at a scarecrow beside him, and saw that there were many holes in the armor on this scarecrow, and these holes even penetrated directly, because it was close to the center of the explosion.

Seeing these holes, the great talent couldn't help but be stunned.

Then he quickly continued to look towards the periphery.

Sure enough!

These scarecrows all have similar holes in their bodies, even if those who are far away and don't seem to be affected, but they also have such injuries on their bodies, and on one of the scarecrows, the great genius found an iron arrow, a very small kind of arrow, but extremely penetrating.

Boy!

The talented man called out to be a good guy and looked at Chu Xiangyun in dismay.

He swore that he had never told the other party about the concept of shrapnel at all, and put a large number of steel balls and steel arrows in the shell to increase the lethality, because the killing radius of the cannonball is limited, just like the current situation, the redcoat cannon seems to be infinitely powerful, but the killing radius is only a few meters.

Beyond this range, it will not work, and within a few meters it will only fly, and the real casualties will be the center of the explosion.

And for an army of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, the scope of pulling is too large, and the real role it can play is far less than imagined.

This is no more prominent than at sea, when the red-coated cannon is infinitely powerful at sea, because as long as it hits the opposite ship, the opposite ship will sink and there will be no escape.

But if on land, a large-scale battle, especially in the face of cavalry charges, is obviously not so great, and the Ming Dynasty, which had a red-coated cannon in his previous life, was overthrown by the Manchu Qing is the best proof.

It may be good in siege and defense, but it is much less likely to charge against cavalry.

However, the shrapnel is completely different, the shell is equipped with a large number of steel balls and steel arrows, once it bursts, these countless steel balls are like scattered flowers of the goddess, the killing radius instantly expands I don't know how many times, and the lethality is also stronger, a cannon down, a large number of people will be finished.

Her own lady made this thing out, and the talented people were stunned.

"What's wrong?"

Chu Xiangyun sensed her husband's abnormality and asked.

After that, he pointed to the iron arrow in his hand, looking excited, "Do you know what this is?" Where did it come from? Tell you, they're all hidden in shells......"

She was boastful, obviously asking her husband for credit, and she looked like she was about to praise me.

Must boast!

The big talent went crazy.

Chu Xiangyun was praised for her beauty, but she didn't know that the talented man was thinking in her heart, if this thing went to the battlefield, would her own lady be scolded as a bloody butcher, no! It's a butcher.

Never mind! Butcher the woman, slaughter the woman!

Lin Bai was in a good mood.

Originally, in the face of the Four-Nation Alliance, he was still a little worried, as I said before, the power of the red-coated cannon is more obvious at sea, on land, in the face of countless soldiers and horses, it is like a firecracker thrown into the ant colony, although the movement is not small, it is scary enough, but the real lethality is not so exaggerated.

If the enemy army is frantically attacking, the effect it can play is even more limited.

But with shrapnel it's completely different, one shot, whether you are a man or a horse, all of them will be knocked down.

In this way, the power of the redcoat cannon can also be truly demonstrated.

The great talent blossomed, he didn't think of the shrapnel himself, mainly because he didn't think about it, but Chu Xiangyun, a research expert, was different, tinkering with these things all day long.

Lin Bai asked curiously, "How did you come up with the idea of putting iron arrows into the cannonball?" ”

Chu Xiangyun said: "Gunpowder is a new weapon, and the bow and arrow are an old-fashioned weapon, so I wondered if I could combine them, so I had this idea......

Boy!

The great genius gave himself a thumbs up, but fortunately he was wise at the beginning and deceived this Nizi, otherwise......

After that, the two continued to discuss some things about shrapnel, in addition, the great talent also deliberately instilled some other concepts, all-round guidance, this Nizi is undoubtedly a treasure, but, limited knowledge, the great talent is different, it's a traverser, not to mention anything else, the things of the future have gone to the sea.

I can't do it myself, but it's okay, I can do it.

And Chu Xiangyun listened to all kinds of things that her husband said, her eyes couldn't help but brighten, the whole person seemed to glow, and the eyes that looked at her husband became more and more different.

No way! After all, she eats this set, and that's how she got hooked.

In addition, the great talent also drew a lot of sketches, all of which were things of later generations, although I don't know if I can make them, but it is good to give Chu Xiangyun some inspiration.

Even, he told the principle and general structure of the steam engine, he only knew some about this thing in physics class, and he had long forgotten the specifics, as for whether it would work or not, he didn't know, anyway, there was a treasure lady, so let her tinker slowly!

In the tank! Must support!

Go back and talk to the Iron Lady, what does the treasure lady want, isn't it silver! None of the problems that can be solved with silver are problems.

In this way, the great talent and the treasure lady have been tinkering with these things, or they are making villains.

It wasn't until two days later that Yan Gang hurriedly came over.

Lin Bai asked, "Something?" ”

Yan Gang said: "Lord Qiqi, there is movement over there in Tubo, and their army has invaded Sichuan and Shu. ”

What!

Lin Bai's face changed when he heard this, he thought it was just for show, but he really dared to make a move? It seems that this is really not afraid of death.

The talented man's face was slightly gloomy.
