Facing the "artillery" that suddenly popped out of Zhang Hao's mouth, Dugu Junjie was a little confused. He hesitated for a long time before he stuttered and said: "Master, what is this this artillery? I Can I see the actual object? Without seeing the actual object, it¡¯s difficult for me to define its utility.¡±
Zhang Hao smiled: "Of course! But before that, think about it first. If there is a weapon, it has the power far beyond the trebuchet, the accuracy of the crossbow, and the range is even several times or ten times that of the crossbow." , the speed exceeds the speed of ordinary flying swords in the Nascent Soul stage, and it has the power of self-destruction in the Nascent Soul stage. How would you use this weapon?"
"Ahis there really such a weapon?"
Not only Dugu Junjie, but even Zhang Shengde was a little surprised - are the explosives and artillery that Zhang Hao has been tinkering with recently really so powerful? Isn't it just a combination of some powder mixed with steel? Not even the spirit stone was used!
"Come with me!" Zhang Hao stood up and walked out.
Zhang Hao took his father Zhang Shengde, his second uncle Zhang Shengye, his eldest brother Zhang Han, and Dugu Junjie to the research base in the rear. When we entered the research base, we saw two artillery pieces.
In addition to the first-generation prototype, Huang Mingshan and others are making final inspections of the second-generation prototype. Compared with the first generation, the second generation design is more mature and reasonable.
The first generation was groped out in a state of confusion; the second generation is very mature and has a more reasonable design. The length of the barrel remains the same, but it is much slender and has a bit more industrial elegance. The unique dark color after quenching makes the artillery a bit more dark and ferocious.
Outside the barrel, a sealing formation is added - this formation is used to reinforce the barrel, but it also makes the artillery more mysterious.
In addition, all parts have been optimized and adjusted.
However, the artillery retreat system has still not been invented - because until now, the artillery has never been actually fired. There are many problems, and Zhang Hao is not convenient to disclose them in advance.
And so far, all the tests have been conducted with small iron pipes, or individual, small-scale attempts to test the power of explosions.
All of this is a bit like working behind closed doors, but the difference is that Huang Mingshan and others have a solid foundation and can use mathematical calculation methods to replace some accumulation of experience.
Dugu Junjie circled the cannon several times, but didn't see anything.
This weapon is said to surpass the trebuchet + giant crossbow in all aspects. It has neither the torsion spring of the trebuchet nor the exaggerated and powerful bow arm of the crossbow. Only a structure less than half a meter in size similar to an ordinary hand crossbow was seen at the end of the barrel.
Zhang Hao looked at Lonely Junjie and didn¡¯t explain. Instead, he asked Huang Mingshan about the specific situation.
Huang Mingshan dragged a large box from the side and placed twelve black and gray cannonballs in it. "Master, these are all the cannonballs we have made so far. In order to better seal and make good use of the rifling, we used melt plating to coat the outside of the cannonball with a layer of lead-tin alloy.
The lead-tin alloy is soft, can provide better sealing, and can also serve as a lubricating layer and will not wear the rifling of the barrel.
The inside of the cannonball is made of super-hard quenched steel, which is fragile and has sharp fragments.
The projectile has a warhead diameter of 10 cm, a length of 40 cm, a charge of 8 kg, and a total weight of 16 kg;
The shell diameter is 12 cm, the shell length is 60 cm, and the propellant is 1.2 kg.
Preliminary estimates indicate that the maximum range of the artillery shell should exceed 10 kilometers; the explosion power will affect a radius of 100 meters in diameter. Specifically, actual testing is required. "
"Very good, we will start the actual test today!" Zhang Hao looked at the twelve black-gray, even somewhat rustic cannonballs, but he was very excited.
The seaside area of ??Changshan Town, where the Zhang family is located, is a deserted area with almost no human habitation. The guards quickly identified an uninhabited area, which was about seven or eight kilometers wide and 20 kilometers long, with hills only a dozen meters high along the way.
At the target location, a large number of wooden stakes, one foot thick and one person high, were placed to test the power of the cannonballs.
Both artillery pieces were dragged out. Huang Mingshan and others were the most excited. The artillery pieces they had studied for a long time finally had a chance to show off their power. Before, I only used small iron pipes for research, which was a bit frustrating.
Brother Feng Zhiling jumped out of nowhere and wanted to watch. Zhang Hao turned around and saw a jade pendant hanging on Feng Zhiling's waist with the words "150,000" on it. That's right, Brother Feng also used himself to invest in Dayang Group. He sold himself for 150,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
After Zhang Hao saw Feng Zhiling, a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Brother, do you want to fire the first shot? This is as powerful as Nascent SoulAs for the self-destructing weapon, the range is expected to be up to 10 kilometers. "
"Okay!" Feng Zhiling was excited immediately. When there is something fun, junior brother immediately thinks of himself, he is so loyal!
Huang Mingshan and others adjusted the angle and corrected the direction. For the sake of caution, they lifted a lot of stones and pressed them on the frame. Then Huang Mingshan and others retreated more than ten meters at Zhang Hao's signal, leaving only the wind in front of them. Chi Ling.
Feng Zhiling finally felt something was wrong and turned to look at Zhang Hao and others. Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Brother, this is also the first time we have tried to launch this thing. So, although the first shot is of great significance, there may be some Unknown danger. Do you think you should replace me?"
When Feng Zhiling heard that someone was about to be replaced, he immediately shook his head: "Isn't it dangerous? Senior brother, I'm not afraid! Everything is ready, I'm going to fire!
Ha ha¡¡"
Feng Zhiling roared excitedly. After adding defense to himself, he suddenly pulled the trigger. The bow string relaxed instantly, and the firing pin hit the primer of the cartridge case, making a crisp sound.
But the next moment
"Boom!"
There was an indescribable sound, like a thunder explosion. A ball of flame rushed out of the muzzle crazily, and billowing smoke filled the air.
A faint black spot disappeared in a flash.
There was a faint scream in the air, but it was almost completely masked by the sound of the artillery itself.
And the artillery itself jumped up directly. A lot of stones pressing on the artillery frame were overturned. The artillery retreated as much as one meter on the ground. Feng Zhiling was directly hit and retreated as much as two meters.
"What the hell!" Feng Zhiling yelled.
Not to mention Feng Zhiling, even Zhang Hao and others were shocked. The scene just now was so 'powerful'. Dugu Junjie's eyes were still a little dazed.
Zhang Hao rushed to Feng Zhiling's side and asked with concern: "Brother, how are you doing?"
"What did you say? Louder, I can't hear you." Feng Zhiling shouted at the top of his lungs.
Zhang Hao could only shout at the top of his lungs: "Brother, are you okay?"
"Ah, it's okay, of course it's okay! It's so cool! Come again!" Feng Zhiling came to the second artillery excitedly, preparing to fire again.
"Wait!" Zhang Hao stood in front of Feng Zhiling, "Wait until the first shell explodes. And it hasn't been loaded yet!"
"explode?"
"Wait for about half a minute. Ten seconds have passed now, and there are still twenty seconds left."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he looked quietly into the distance. Everyone also waited quietly, especially Huang Mingshan and others, who were even more excited. The artillery firing scene was already very shocking. I wonder what the explosion scene was like?
Time slipped away little by little, and I saw half a minute.
Suddenly, a cloud of gunpowder smoke rose in the distance, and the turbid gunpowder smoke and mud rolled up; countless birds panicked. Some marine monsters on the beach are even more frivolous. After waiting for a long time, there was faint thunder.
"Let's go over and have a look!" Zhang Hao took the lead and flew forward, but he flew very slowly. Feng Zhiling flew over and grabbed Zhang Hao. After a while, he flew over and stood on a small hill nearby. Looking at the crater in front of him, Zhang Hao also took a breath of air.
Ahead, there is a large crater that is almost three meters deep and 12 to 13 meters deep. The edge of the crater is like an axe.
Within a radius of more than thirty meters around the crater, all the wooden piles were overturned, and most of the wooden piles were miserable; only a few broken wooden piles stood crookedly thirty meters away, and many wooden piles were straight. As if being bitten, part of it disappeared directly.
Until a hundred meters away, you can see broken shrapnel stuck in some wooden piles. These shrapnel breaks are irregular but very sharp.
"It's all good steel!" Feng Zhiling picked up a piece of shrapnel, which was a pity.
Zhang Hao smiled and asked: "Brother, what do you think of the power of this explosion?"
Feng Zhiling's ears had recovered at this time. He looked sideways at the crater, looked around, and said slowly: "It is almost as powerful as the self-destruction of the peak of Jindan. But if the lethality of shrapnel is added, it is about the same as Nascent Soul. It self-destructed in the early stages.¡±
Zhang Hao nodded with satisfaction and asked everyone to go back and continue the experiment. At the same time, he turned around and asked Dugu Junjie: "How is this artillery?"
