"[Flying Thunder Tube] ......" the Emperor repeated the word as if sleepwalking.

Not to mention him, along with the ministers and generals who came with him to watch, also savored the word.

Most of the people present were military experts, and they could see at a glance that the Flying Thunder Barrel was much better than the cannon. This is not to say that the cannon was completely replaced, but that the usage was completely different.

As soon as this thing is launched, you can clearly see that the trajectory is crooked, it is the kind of thing that only sends explosives into the sky and hits the sky. The gameplay is also shown, or you don't use it, and you have to rely on the number to make up for the lack of shooting accuracy.

It's still flawed!

The main structure of the flying thunder barrel is a white iron bucket, the weight of 40 catties, counting the bracket does not exceed 50 catties, if it is not a large volume, a farmer can easily carry it.

Nowadays, the world's mainstream artillery is still a cannon that fires solid iron ball shells, due to the relationship between the process is not up to standard, in order to prevent the bore, the barrel must be cast very thick, regardless of whether it is cast copper or cast iron gun body, the cannon is rarely less than 1,000 catties, and two pack horses must be used to pull the cannon.

The plains are fine, once you encounter rough terrain, or the plains are frozen or even turned over, then don't think about using artillery in the field. Because it can't be transported.

The black soil of the five northern provinces is very fertile, and the mud in winter and spring is also very pitiful. Not to mention cannons, even heavy ballistas are difficult to transport.

In this environment, the orcs, who are almost unequipped and run barefoot around the world, are very advantageous.

In the cold wind of winter, knowing that the arrows of humans would be greatly weakened, the orcs, who had run out of food, kept going crazy and attacked the pioneer settlements of Barbarossa all day long.

In conflicts, humans lack long-range weapons to reduce the number of orcs in advance, and often have to fall into a meat grinder-style war of attrition, which is very disadvantageous to humanity.

That's why Barbarossa has always wanted to form a group of mages. Because the Master can give the army the greatest long-range fire support in this situation, against the trolls on the orc side.

Now that Wren took out such a big killing weapon without saying a word, the emperor and the knight commanders were moved.

The emperor spoke: "In cold weather, can this thing be used?" ”

The emperor was afraid that this kind of artillery would be scrapped like a bowstring, too cold and too wet.

"Yes. As long as the chamber is cleaned and the leads are handled, it can be used in snow. It's just that it shouldn't work when it rains. Margaret replied.

"That's not bad." A knight chief gave a heartfelt compliment.

During the Liberation War, it was actually a bit embarrassing. Because the range is too short, only 150 to 300 meters. At this distance, it can even be hit by most rifles and machine guns, and there is no advantage in range.

But this is the Kaos world where cold weapons are the mainstay, and magic is supplemented!

The extraordinary don't count! Most archers pull their bows to play with projectiles, and they can't shoot 100 meters until they vomit blood, and to ensure lethality, the bow and arrow have a range of about 50 meters. The range of two-handed crossbow arrows used by crossbowmen will not exceed 150 meters.

The range of mages in the Kaos world generally does not exceed 50 meters, and even the [Electromagnetic Gun] mages (official mages with thunder and lightning specialization who are no more than level 5) trained by Wren have a range of more than 100 meters.

There is black powder in this world, and almost everything is ready-made.

The Emperor asked the last question: "Does this thing produce energy?" How long does it take to train a group of gunners? ”

Margaret definitely did her homework, and all the questions were answered almost instantly: "Can be mass-produced, a group of gunners, two days smarter." If you are a little stupid, you will be able to master it in a week. The only problem was the production of black powder. ”

The answer was staggering to the Emperor and the Knight Commanders.

Looking at the busy artillery crew, what they are doing is no different from cannons.

After an explosive bag is blown out, the cleaner takes a water-soaked mop into the chamber to clean up any black powder that may remain, then the loader puts a certain amount of propellant into it, then puts the pad on it, and finally puts in the explosive bag and fuse.

When everything is ready, the gunner holding the torch lights the fuse, and the [Unconscionable Cannon] blasts out at a preset angle, landing in the designated area and causing damage.

The whole process is only a matter of three or five minutes.

This firepower projection capability represents a large-scale bombing like the [Flying Thunder Canister], which is likely to change the entire mode of warfare.

The Emperor pondered for a while: "Thank you for the support of the Physics School, I will discuss with the ministers and the heads of the regiment behind closed doors before replying." ”

Everyone looked at Margaret with strange eyes.

Obviously, a female knight should be regarded as a staunch knight, right, why did she become a representative of the physics school?

At the emperor's closed-door meeting, there was actually nothing to discuss, everyone had a positive attitude towards the [Flying Thunder Tube], the question was only how much to invest, whether it was necessary to practice the actual combat before investing resources on a large scale.

After sending off the knights, the emperor collapsed on the throne, and he asked his palace minister worriedly: "You say, what does it mean that Your Excellency Tesla took out this kind of battlefield killing weapon at this time?" ”

This thing is not magical at all, at best it can be related to alchemy.

Gong Xiang hesitated for a long time, and said hesitantly: "Probably he has already discovered that incident." Let's say it ourselves, that's what gives us the last decency. ”

The Emperor was silent for a long time before he spoke: "His mercy is limited. We don't want to be decent, and his thunderous wrath will make us decent. Send a messenger to confess your mistake. We are not to blame for this, we can't afford to provoke anyone anyway. ”

"Yes......"

The next morning, when Wren summoned the messenger and listened to the messenger's explanation, the others were confused.

No! Wait a minute!

Why was I so happy for a moment that I gave Margaret [No Conscience Cannon] as a gift, how could it involve such a big?

"Barbarossa XIII is willing to bear any wrath of your Excellency. I beg your pardon that the secular regime has no power to resist in the face of theocracy. The Messenger said this on his knees.

Wren's eggs hurt.

It's no wonder that when I was screening disciples for the first time a while ago, I didn't find a single seedling who was qualified to be an inner disciple, and I dared to be stolen by various factions - those guys actually used my dragon skin test paper to find a civilian with magical power, and then directly intervened and abducted the good seedlings to other sects.

Basically, as long as the major sects related to the Dharma system are all involved.

The Church of Light and the Knight Sect, which are mainly based on the kitchen knife profession, remain neutral in this matter.

These great sects have been entrenched in various countries for hundreds or even thousands of years, and this kind of strong-rooted divine stick organization cannot be shaken by a single emperor.

That is, in the past hundred years, the gods have been darkened, and the divine power is not visible, so that the emperor seems to have really grasped the power.

The real situation is, how dare the emperor provoke these god stick organizations that have a dozen legendary powerhouses who swear to serve to the death?

Being able to poke this out is entirely for the sake of Wren's fancy 'manifestation' and extremely strong position.

Although Wren had 10,000 MMP sentences in his heart that were not unhappy, when the words came to his mouth, a thousand words turned into an extremely unfathomable sentence: "I know." ”
