[General Era 101033, Rotiriño Sedili Civilization Year 3002, Spring. Kingdom of Rotiri-ni Sediri, Province of Rotiri-Ni-Sediri, Governorate of Rotiri-Ni Sediri, Senate. 】
In the chamber of the Senate, people were discussing the details of the "Desert Oasis Defense Plan" proposed by the "Delta Galaxy" with the "Desert Platinum Battle Shield" of the Prospective King.
The generals and scholars of the Senate had already learned that a new stranger had appeared in the desert.
It is urgent to defend the capital and various large cities in the desert oasis.
According to the preliminary "Desert Oasis Defense Plan", there are two main lines of defense - the first, the outer line of the oasis, which is mainly composed of the artillery placed in the semi-basement to be built, and the strength of the guard artillery in various bunkers, and the second is the city wall to be strengthened and the newly cast cannons of the capital city of Rotiri, of course, there are also abundant troops in the capital.
Yes, the Rotiriños have begun to use their own technology to develop new weapons—the people of the native civilization here are gradually discovering the importance of technology and weapons.
In the current situation, how to use the existing technology to create more powerful weapons has become the key to the strategy of the Rotiri Sedili people.
"How's the cannon forging?" asked the Minister of Industry, the Desert Platinum Battle Shield.
The "Desert Platinum Battle Shield", which originally paid more attention to combat courage, has also begun to care about the aspect of weapons - the enemy is different from history, and the focus of strategy must naturally be changed accordingly.
"Your Majesty, one of our cannons has been made! When the time comes, we will leave it to the Minister of War for him to arrange and test it!" replied the Minister of Industry at once to the Desert Platinum Battle Shield.
"Good! good!" "The Desert Platinum Battle Shield nodded slightly, complimented the Minister of Industry, and then, to everyone present, he said, "Everyone, hurry up with the rest of the progress! War is not a sporting competition, and the enemy will not wait for us to make all kinds of preparations before going to war!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
Everyone present replied earnestly.

[General Era 101033, Rotiriño Sedili Civilization Year 3002, Spring. Rotiriño Sedili Kingdom, Desert, Artillery Test Area. 】
Two days after the meeting, the "Desert Platinum Battle Shield" and the Minister of Industry and the Minister of War rushed directly to the place where the artillery was tested in a horse-drawn carriage.
It seems that the "Desert Platinum Battle Shield" takes giant artillery seriously.
The artillery test site is located on a very open sandy field, and not far away, there is a sand dune, which is also suitable for use as a target.
"Oh! what a behemoth!" "Desert Platinum Battle Shield" As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw the giant cannon made of copper, and he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the giant cannon.
The caliber of that giant cannon was half a man's height (850 mm)
The gun was divided into two sections, which were disassembled to allow for gun loading.
The combined length of this cannon is more than the length of two wagons! (about 12 meters)
It is not easy for the technology of the Rotirito Sedili people to be able to do this kind of artillery - or in other words, this artillery gathers the "top technology" of the Rotiriñan Sediri civilization.
"Desert Platinum Battle Shield" and the others came to a safe place a little further away from the artillery.
"Alright, it's time for a test launch!" the War Secretary said to the Desert Platinum Battle Shield.
"Your Majesty, the sound of this cannon is very loud, please be aware. The Minister of Industry also reminded on the side.
"Hmm!" the Desert Platinum Battle Shield smiled and let them go.
Dozens of tens, who were in charge of loading, came to the rear of the rear half of the artillery and began the loading process.
The whole loading process is naturally much longer than that of an ordinary artillery - after all, it is a huge heavy artillery.
After the cannon was loaded, another team brought three war elephants from the left and right sides, and then attached a number of strong thick ropes from the back half of the cannon to the saddle of the war elephants.
Under the drag of the six war elephants, the rear half of the cannon began to gradually move slowly towards the front half.
Two pieces of artillery, combined.
Of course, in the current state, it is not possible to launch directly.
Dozens of soldiers, vigorously pulling the structure on the second half of the artillery.
In the second half of the artillery, it began to slowly rotate along the axis, and after about half a turn, it got stuck in a certain position.
Now, the inside of the artillery has reached a relatively closed state.
The war elephants used to tow the rear section of the artillery, as well as the soldiers who had been responsible for various preparations before, quickly withdrew to a distance from the artillery.
Then it's time for the long-awaited ignition – no one knows what spectacular the firing of such a cannon will be!
Of course, the ignition method of this giant cannon seems to be a little different from that of ordinary artillery!
