The new book has just been put on the shelves. I hope to get the support of new and old book lovers. If you have a VIP vote, you can vote for it. As you know, Xiao San will never let you down. ------------- Hailong and Piao Miao and Zhishui sat in a car. As soon as they got on the car, Piao Mi and said, "Long, why do you have to test the cannon? Didn't you find that the god Moha looked a little unhappy? Hailong smiled and said, "Wife, you have to remember that only strength can prove everything.
Although they gave up the idea of attacking the Central Plains under the pressure of my master.
But Moha is very ambitious. Even if he doesn't launch an attack, when he survives in the future, his men will also have the idea of occupying the Central Plains.
After all, the Central Plains is a big piece of fat meat.
I asked for a test this time, mainly to deter them.
Moreover, I do have the intention to develop a powerful weapon for Zhao and Song. In this way, even if you don't attack the enemy, you will have more than enough self-insurance.
Due to the very close distance, Zhishui's cultivation naturally heard the conversation between the two and said, "Hailong, has your cultivation increased recently?" Hailong was in a sway and said, "Why did the senior sister ask this?
My cultivation has improved a little, probably because of the effect of the master in helping me reshape my body.
There should be a later stage now.
Zhishui shook his head and said, "Nothing, I just feel that I can't see through you more and more.
However, there is something I want to remind you.
As practitioners, it is better for us to take less care of the affairs of mortals in China. Otherwise, the secular heart is too heavy, which will have a great impact on your cultivation.
Hailong found that Zhishui actually cared about himself for the first time. He looked at Piaomiao and said, "Thank you for your reminder. After watching the test, let's go back to the mountain immediately."
The carriage is not only fast, but also extremely stable. After about half an hour, everyone has left the West Gate.
When I got out of the carriage and appeared in front of everyone, it was an empty field. Looking around, there were empty plains within dozens of miles, and even few plants.
Zhao Feng rode a tall horse to Hailong, turned over and got off the horse, and said excitedly, "Your Highness, please follow me.
This is our school field, and the soldiers and horses are here on weekdays.
Surrounded by Zhao Feng and 200 soldiers, everyone came to the side of the school yard, and a huge cannon appeared in front of them.
The gun is about two meters high, and the thick gun body occupies about ten square meters. The three-meter-long barrel extends into the distance, and the whole body is dark and dark, with a sense of harmony.
Zhao Feng explained: "This giant artillery needs 6,000 kilograms of refined iron to be refined into a door, and the process requirements are extremely high, and there can be no gaps.
uses a shell with a diameter of 35 centimeters.
Within 5,000 meters, it can be said to be indestructible and explosive.
Come and present the cannonball.
Under his order, two soldiers came over with a round black shell.
On the surface, it looks like a big iron bullet, heavy.
Zhao Feng said, "After many experiments, this shell took shape.
Your Highness, on the surface, this shell looks like a solid iron bullet.
Actually, this is not the case.
In the shell, there is a large amount of compressed gunpowder.
The whole bomb weighs 80 catties, including 50 catties of gunpowder. After firing the artillery, the power of the explosion is now three times greater than when it was first developed. With one bombardment, hundreds of square meters will be covered. If the enemy's formation is dense, it will not be a problem to destroy hundreds of people.
Hailong took the shell from the soldier's hand, held it in his hand, and said, "That is to say, after this thing is fired with artillery, it will explode as soon as it hits the ground, right?"
Zhao Feng nodded and said, "The principle is like this. In the barrel, we set up a booster, that is, this thing takes up the most volume and is the most difficult to make.
Fill the booster with gunpowder. As soon as it explodes, it will produce extremely strong thrust, push the shell away, and then explode, which is extremely powerful.
Hailong nodded and said, "Then let's start. Let's also appreciate the power of your cannon."
Zhao Feng nodded excitedly and began to fill the gunpowder under his command. It took ten minutes for the gunpowder to be filled. The soldier put the shell into the barrel. After Zhao Feng's order, he lit the fuse.
"Boom--" The loud noise was deafening, and the huge shell was rushed out from afar, cut through the sky and fell to the ground.
A small splash of dust splashed in the distance, and everything seemed to be over.
Mo Hag was stunned for a moment, and then turned to laugh, "Is this your cannon? It's just a speculite plane a little farther away.
It's really a waste to consume so much refined iron!" Zhao Feng's face was extremely ugly. He took a look at the sea dragon with an indifferent expression and whispered, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, this shell may be made of a thick shell wall.
So it didn't explode.
Please allow me to try another one."
Hailong said, "General Zhao Feng, what is the probability of the successful explosion of your shells?" Zhao Feng said, "The success rate is about 80%.
Come on, add another one."
Another ten minutes passed. Under Zhao Feng's order, the artillery was powerful. In a loud noise, the second shell was shot out from afar.
"Boom--" The ground under everyone's feet trembled violently, and an unprecedented loud sound sound sounded. A huge firelight lit up in the distance, and the smoke and soil filled the air. From the position where Hailong and others stood, the power of this gun covered nearly 1,000 square meters.
Zhao Feng blinked his eyes, but he didn't expect that the power would suddenly become so great. He hesitated for a moment and said, "This is almost double the power.
Your Highness, maybe we are too lucky. This second shell should be just on the first one, so it has such a powerful power.
Moha, Soto and Ula have been completely stunned. Although they will naturally not be afraid of artillery attacks with their cultivation, ordinary monsters in southern Xinjiang can't resist this level of attack except for their extremely strong strength.
Even if tens of thousands of monsters are transferred to attack the city, it may be difficult to break through this powerful artillery blockade.
Hailong thought for a moment and said, "General Zhao, I think this cannon has great disadvantages."
Zhao Feng was at a loss. He could be said to be full of feelings for these cannons. At this time, when he heard the denial of Hailong, he suddenly felt a trace of displeasure in his heart and said, "Your Highness, in China, this can be said to be the most powerful weapon. Why is there any drawbacks?" Hailong smiled and said, "General, don't worry. Listen to me.
First of all, it is impossible to guarantee that all your cannonballs can exert their power, and although this kind of artillery has a lot of attack power, it takes too much raw materials and time to cast one, which can be said to be a waste of money.
At the same time, the artillery has been loaded for too long. Let me ask you, if the enemy is a fast cavalry rushing from 5,000 meters away to the city, how many times can your artillery fire? I think it should be no more than three times at most.
If the enemy is attacked by a large army, although artillery can cause a lot of casualties to them, they will not play a decisive role in the war.
Once the city is destroyed, these precious artillery will become the enemy's booty.
What we want is not this kind of weapon.
After listening to Hailong's analysis, Zhao Feng couldn't help sweating coldly. The shortcomings that Hailong said hit the nail on the head. Indeed, although the artillery is powerful, it is impossible for the enemy to stay there and let you bombard.
With a smile, Hailong continued, "I have an idea. If this idea can be successfully tested, we will really have powerful artillery.
First of all, the volume of this gun is too large. As you said just now, the main reason is that the booster is complicated.
Actually, I think this problem is easy to solve.
First of all, the shell doesn't need to be that big, and the iron shell outside can be made thinner.
Zhao Feng said doubtfully, "But if the shell of the shell is thin, it is likely to explode in the barrel!" Hailong said, "Listen to me.
The thin iron shell is not the main thing, and the most important thing is the problem of the booster.
General Zhao, let me ask you, if there is no booster, how much raw materials can this cannon save? Zhao Feng's eyes lit up and he said without hesitation, "At least two-thirds can be saved."
Hailong said confidently, "The booster is nothing more than firing the shell with the power of gunpowder explosion.
If we make the booster directly on the shell, can't we save the process of making the booster? Moreover, the loading time will be greatly shortened, and the connection between one shot and one shot will never exceed one minute.
That's what I think.
As he spoke, Hailong squatted down, drew a conical shape on the ground with his fingers, and then drew a square after the conical shape. "I just thought about it. Now because the shell is round, when it hits the ground, the force area is very large, so it may not explode.
If the shell is made into a cone, not only can the rear part withstand the thrust of the booster, but also when it lands, the tip is facing down, it can explode almost 100%.
General Zhao, look, the square behind is the booster I mentioned. This thing can be made stronger, and it is also filled with gunpowder.
Then connect it to the warhead. Don't connect too tightly. In the place of connection, you must use a very thick iron plate, so that the force generated by the rear booster can completely push the warhead out.
Zhao Feng's eyes were bright, and he said sincerely, "Your Highness, this is really a good way.
If it is tested, it may really succeed.
Hailong smiled and said, "I haven't finished yet, and I think that since the gunpowder can explode in the impact, there is no need to use a fuse at all, which is slow and unsafe.
You can design something. When the gun is fired, it directly hits the back of the booster, so that the shell can be fired in an instant.
It is best to design a port on the barrel, so that the abandoned booster after the explosion is more convenient to take out and can greatly reduce the loading time.
If it succeeds, the weight of the whole artillery will be reduced. As long as two carriage-like wheels are installed, it can completely become a mobile weapon. Once hundreds of doors are made, the cavalry of the Yuanmeng Kingdom are nothing. If they don't get to the front, they can all be bombarded to death.
However, what I'm talking about is just an idea. It takes you to do a long time to see how thick the iron wall of the barrel and shell is.
I'm afraid it will take a long time to study. It's all up to you.
Zhao Feng looked at Hailong in a daze. For a long time, he suddenly knelt on his knees and said with tears: "Your Highness, Zhao Feng is convinced. You are worthy of being the king of Zhao and Song.
Once this idea is successful, we, Zhao and Song, will definitely become the most powerful country in China! Your Highness, thank you, thank you."
Hailong picked up Zhao Feng and said with a smile, "What can I thank you for?"
I just think artillery is very interesting, so I boldly imagined it. Let it go.
If it succeeds, the mobile artillery will become the secret weapon of the State of Zhao and Song.
At that time, you don't have to be afraid of anything.
Moha coughed and said, "Brother Hailong, aren't you going to destroy our southern Xinjiang?
If the kind of artillery you mentioned can have the power just now, it is really possible to make hundreds of doors, even if it blows up our southern Xinjiang!" After listening to Hailong's words, he, Soto and Ula all felt a sense of fear in their hearts.
This kind of weapon is really terrible.
Hailong laughed and said, "Brother Moha, you don't have to worry. Although this gun is very powerful, even if my idea is successful, it is extremely difficult to transport, and it requires a lot of raw materials to be manufactured.
Even those gunpowder, it is not easy to get a lot.
There are many mountains in southern Xinjiang, which is not suitable for the use of artillery at all. You don't need to worry at all. As long as the southern Xinjiang does not take the initiative to attack the State of Zhao and Song, I guarantee that the State of Zhao and Song will not deal with you.
Moha's expression relaxed a little. Looking at the cannon, he still showed a worried look.
Hailong's desired effect has been achieved, and he is in a good mood. He said to Zhao Feng, "General Zhao, since you think my idea is feasible, let's organize personnel to study it as soon as possible.
We still have something to do, so we won't stay here longer, Huang Han! After you go back to the imperial city and report to Zhao Ji, go to the Lianyun Mountains to find me as soon as possible. Maybe I won't stay there for too long.
Huang Han replied respectfully, "Yes, master."
Hailong turned around and looked at the three gods of southern Xinjiang who were still thinking about artillery, and smiled and said, "Let's go. Let's go.
There is a long way from here to the Lianyun Mountains.
Under the surprised gaze of Zhao Feng and his own soldiers, all kinds of clouds flew up, and in an instant, they disappeared into the distant sky with sea dragons and others.
Zhao Feng looked at the back of Hailong and others and muttered, "One word side by side, Wang Zhen is a god. Presumably, he is a gift from God to our state of Zhao and Song."
Huang Han smiled and said, "General Zhao, your research must be carried out as soon as possible. If it succeeds, it will be a huge credit! At that time, Your Majesty will definitely make a great reward.
Zhao Feng sighed and said, "It doesn't matter to be rewarded, but I like artillery so much. I really hope that the idea of His Royal Highness can succeed."
