Chapter 25 Test
When they heard Yan Siqi say that the cannon could hit the target onemile away, the people in the yard showed disbelief. Someone immediately said, "Brother Chen, are you talking nonsense? Can this cannon hit that far? And still on the ship, can you hit such a far target? Who will believe this!"
There was an echoing sound in the yard immediately, and almost everyone did not believe what Chen Xun said.
After hearing this, Chen Xun blushed and swore to the sky, "Don't you know who I am Chen Xun? This meal can be eaten, but any of you has seen me say heavenly words?
This is what I saw with my own eyes on the ship. When I went to Nanri Island a few days ago, I thought that the price they offered us was too high. The master specially let me see the power of this cannon, which was using this cannon. Just under my nose, across the sea, the sea wolf ship only opened two Gun, just hit a reef a miles away. If I tell a lies, let me go to sea and feed the fish!"
Someone bened and said, "I'm afraid the reef you mentioned is as big as an island!" Haha!"
After listening to this, everyone immediately laughed.
Chen Xun's face was black and red, and he almost staggered. He waved his hand and said, "Absolutely not! I, Chen Xun, have been living on this sea for such a long time. How can't you tell how big it is? That reef is about the size of a boat at best, otherwise how can I promise to give them this price?
Some people still didn't believe it and wanted to continue to joke with Chen Xun, but they were stopped by a wave of Yan Siqi. Yan Siqi looked at Chen Xun and asked seriously, "Are you serious about this?"
"Real! There is absolutely no falsehood! Otherwise, the eldest brother will cut my head!" Chen Xun nodded solemnly and replied.
Yan Siqi frowned again, took a breath of cold air, turned around and stared at the six-pound cannon behind him. At this time, the courtyard calmed down. Everyone looked at Yan Siqi and looked at the six-pound cannon. Gradually, many people looked shocked.
Two days later, in an inaccessible and secluded place in the easternmost part of Yan Siqi's village, a group of people were busy setting up several cannons, tossed around for a long time, and finally loaded the cannon.
Yan Siqi walked to the tiger squatting gun, looked at the gun carefully, then looked at a large wooden board dozens of steps away from the muzzle, and then nodded.
Someone came over to hold a wooden stick wrapped in a fire rope. The fire rope had been ignited and carefully put the fire head to the fire gate. Only a bang was heard, and the smoke filled with smoke. In an instant, there was a crackling sound on the board in front of the muzzle.
After the smoke dissipated, Yan Siqi immediately took everyone to the front of the big wooden board, which was fixed on a strong wooden shelf. At this time, a large area in the upper left corner of the board had been smashed by a door seal, missing a corner, and the rest of the place was densely covered with small holes.
This tiger squat gun is loaded with loose bullets. In addition to more than 100 finger-sized rubble, it is also stuffed with a solid shell similar to the inner diameter of the gun barrel, which is called door sealing to block the gun barrel, so as not to be too discouraged when the gunpowder explodes, which can improve the power of some shells.
After seeing this big wooden board as a target, Yan Siqi nodded with satisfaction and said, "This tiger squat gun is indeed more powerful than the one we used before. It is equipped with the same medicine, but it is farther and more powerful than the tiger squat gun we used before, as if It's also more accurate. This gun is indeed well cast. Go back and try that gun!"
Then everyone returned to the place where the cannon was set up, surrounded by a gun, and someone had filled the ammunition for the cannon.
The weight of the extermination gun is more than twice as heavy as the tiger squat gun, about 100 catties, and the gun is also a little larger than the tiger squat gun, which can be loaded with more scattered or solid bullets at a time.
With the sound of a cannon, the large wooden board used as the target was suddenly torn apart, and even the wooden frame collapsed, and the wood chips scattered everywhere.
Yan Siqi smiled a little stronger and nodded repeatedly: "Good shot! It's really a good gun! Awesome! This sea wolf craftsman's craftsmanship is really amazing! It's accurate enough! Next, let's watch this little Hongyi cannon!"
And the shiny six-pound gun that was wiped was mounted on a fixed gun rack at this time. When Yu Xiaotian delivered the gun to Chen Xun, he did not give the four-wheeled gun truck used by the sea wolf to Chen Xun, but replaced it with a fixed wooden gun rack, but Chen Xun did not make any comments on this.
Under the "guidance" of Chen Xun, everyone at least filled up the six-pound gun, adjusted the elevation angle according to the cat and tiger, and pointed the muzzle at a large mound hundreds of steps away.
"I haven't played this thing before. Can it play so far!" Someone asked Chen Xun uneasly.
Chen Xun has never played with this thing, but when the sea wolf delivered the cannon to him, he more or less introduced him how to use the cannon, but Chen Xun just learned a little about whether he could hit the big mound, but he was still quite confident in the range of this gun.
"If you can hit it, you can definitely hit it farther, but whether you can hit it or not, then it's another story. To be honest, I've just seen the sea wolf guys who let go of two shots. I'm not sure if I can hit it!" Chen Xun is honest and honest.
Yan Siqi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry so much. Let's see if you can play that far first. As for whether you can hit accurately, that's the future!"
Everyone quickly dispersed under Chen Xun's greeting, and someone leaned over and put a pestle on the gun tail fire gate.
Hearing the roar, the six-pound gun jumped violently on the ground, because the gun rack was fixed and without wheels, and all the energy of the recoil was directly transmitted to the ground through the fixed gun rack, which almost overturned the gun rack and scared everyone.
But everyone couldn't care about this now, so they quickly stretched their necks and looked at the big mound in the distance.
Because the cannonballs fly far and fast, it is difficult to see the cannonballs in flight, so they can only observe the point of the cannonballs. Without waiting for the smoke to disperse, the sharp-eyed people have seen a mass of dust on the ground more than 100 steps in front of the mound, and the cannonballs fell far away from the mound, so everyone Suddenly, there was a sound of booing.
Even Yan Siqi's face collapsed, and someone immediately laughed at Chen Xun, "This is not as bad as you blew! Why did you only play so far? Although it's far from the killing cannon, it's not as far as you said!"
Chen Xun's face suddenly turned red again and shook his head and argued, "No wonder this cannon is because we can't use it. This cannon did hit far away. Let's do it again! Raise the muzzle a little higher. It must have been peaceful just now!"
Yan Siqi suppressed his anger and nodded and asked everyone to hold the gun rack. This time, the muzzle was raised much higher, but when it was reloaded, there was trouble. The sea wolf's cannons were equipped with various auxiliary poles, which were various special tools, and some were equipped with iron hooks like spiral bottle openers in front. Some are wool brushes in the front, and there are two brushes, and there are thin wooden sticks in the front and behind, and the cannon is equipped with a kettle.
Chen Xun only roughly learned some gunnery skills, but because of nervousness, the program was a little chaotic, which made him busy and took everyone to toss around, so he reluctantly refilled the cannon.
After the second cannon sound, everyone once again turned their eyes to the large mound in the distance. Everyone closed their breath and looked at the situation near the target, but did not see the landing point of the shell. Someone immediately wanted to shout and ask if the shell was stuck in the gunbore.
Waiting for someone to shout, a man suddenly pointed far away and shouted, "I see! I saw it! It flew over! Damn, it's so far away!"
Everyone quickly followed the direction of his finger and looked farther away. As a result, they saw a mass of dust rising far away, which was two or three hundred steps farther than the large mound they had preset. No wonder they didn't see the landing point of the shell just now. It turned out that the shell flew too far and the landing time was delayed. Some.
Everyone exclaimed this time, and no one doubted the range of the gun, including Yan Siqi, who also smiled. The haze in his heart just now was suddenly swept away.
"Good guy! Awesome! It's really far enough! Haha! Unfortunately, none of you guys can play with this thing. It seems that although this guy is good, if he can't use it, it will be in vain! But anyway, this gun is really good. It seems that Chen Xun is not bragging!" Yan Siqi said with a smile.
Chen Xun felt a light on his face and quickly nodded to the brothers around him and shouted, "How's it going? You all saw it! I didn't blow it. This gun is just powerful. This is not the farthest shot. If the muzzle is raised higher, it can be shot farther! If you don't believe it, just try it!"
Everyone was also amazed at the range of the gun and nodded to try again to see how far it could hit.
But Yan Siqi raised his hand to stop their hustle and said, "Well, don't try how far it can be. No matter how far it is, it's still in vain.
This gun is to be used on the ship, so let's try the power of this cannon! Come on, a hundred steps away, put a few thick boards on the shelves and fold the boards to see how thick the cannon can penetrate! In the future, this gun will be taken to bombard other people's boats. How can it be done if you don't try this?
As soon as everyone heard it, what Yan Siqi said made sense, so they quickly began to prepare. At a distance of about 100 steps from the cannon, they erected a log shelf here, on which five large boards about two inches thick were superimposed, and then After flattening the muzzle and looking at it for a long time, I guess there should be no problem before firing again.
