"Here, senior, pick this up and take a look."
Orange took the monocular telescope from Huo Yuhao, which seemed slightly larger than similar products, and placed it in front of his eyes in confusion.
"It doesn't seem like anything special?"
The lens of the telescope seems to be nothing special, and the image quality is no better than that of an ordinary telescope.
"Press your fingers on the metal strip next to it, inject soul power and take a look."
"oh?"
As Huo Yuhao said, Orange injected a little soul power into the telescope and focused the lens on the teaching building in the distance.
A small, bright spot of light appeared in the center of Orange's field of vision, and a few seconds later a line of small characters marked "880 meters" appeared in the lower right corner of the eyepiece.
"Is this... distance?" Orange looked surprised.
"A soul power ranging module was added to the telescope, so the size and weight have increased slightly." Huo Yuhao nodded.
When he was a guest at Binhai Soul Engineer Academy before, Huo Yuhao had noticed their soul guidance sonar equipment - although sonar and laser ranging devices sounded like they were products of a century apart, their principles were essentially the same. They all rely on calculating time differences to indirectly measure distance.
Binhai Soul Master Academy relied on this thing to draw the hydrogeological map of the seabed, and Huo Yuhao had this thing in mind at that time.
The soul guidance sonar of Binhai Soul Engineer Academy will store the collected information locally, and only after it is salvaged can the data be used to calculate and draw hydrogeological maps. There is no need for such trouble with a ranging telescope.
Huo Yuhao relied on his magically modified soul guidance array to realize the mapping of "soul power reflection time-distance", and displayed the distance measurement results on the eyepiece in real time.
Although the Soul Guidance Array can partly take shortcuts and rely on the simplest data mapping to achieve distance measurement needs, in the final analysis it is an evil path for Huo Yuhao, who is accustomed to electronic equipment: the computing efficiency of the Soul Guidance Array is completely incomparable. Compared with the serious computers he was familiar with, the potential for improvement was relatively limited. However, Huo Yuhao didn't have the ability to rub the CPU with his hands, so he could only make do with the simplicity based on the principle that it could be used.
Limited by the performance of the soul guidance array itself and the subtle fluctuations in the speed of soul power transmission, the accuracy of the ranging telescope can only reach ten meters, with a delay of about five seconds, which is barely enough.
Orange said softly, "Hmm", and said with some unfinished meaning: "It seems that this thing can measure distance... It does have some use on the battlefield, but..."
Huo Yuhao smiled: "But it doesn't seem to be particularly useful, right?"
"That's what it means."
"That's because a single technical weapon must be coordinated with the overall system to achieve its greatest effect."
As he spoke, Huo Yuhao touched the storage ring in his hand. A cannon barrel appeared in his hand, and Huo Yuhao immediately placed it on the ground.
"Senior sister, this thing is called a grenade. It is a light mortar... Oh, this is a product that Teacher Xuan and I researched before the competition. It was not used because of the rules of the competition. Although it has been out of the confidentiality period, But don’t go around talking nonsense.”
Orange looked at the grenade placed on the ground by Huo Yuhao and asked, "So small?"
"It's just that the caliber is relatively small. It's not difficult to make it bigger. The key is the entire system behind it."
Huo Yuhao squatted down, pointed at the arc-shaped scale line at the bottom of the gun mount and said, "Look, if the angle on the scale line is used in conjunction with this manual, will it be much easier and more accurate to aim?"
Orange took the manual handed over by Huo Yuhao, opened it, looked at it carefully, and read: "Prototype Type I Soul Guidance Mortar Manual, Shooting Zhuyuan Chapter."
"Standard weight, three-level fixed charge of soul-guided artillery shells, well... when the range is 500 meters, the pitch and lateral density adjustment rules are as follows..."
As representatives of long-range offensive attack guides, custom-installed soul-guided cannonballs and soul-guided ray guns occupy an important position in the soul mentor group of the Sun and Moon Empire.
To be precise, the fixed soul guidance shell needs to be combined with the vehicle that launches it to be considered a true long-range soul guidance device, otherwise it can only be regarded as a powerful time bomb.
After Huo Yuhao got the authority to learn about the active equipment of the Sun and Moon Empire Soul Engineer Corps, he was surprised to find that their understanding of the use of custom-made soul guidance artillery shells was still at a very primitive level. It was different from the common people's impression that they relied on the elevation angle adjustment of the artillery to achieve super speed. Unlike long-distance striking artillery shells, the main use method of fixed soul-guided artillery shells is still semi-direct firing within visual range.
Thinking about it again, it seems that this is quite consistent with the description in the original work. According to Huo Gua’s original words:
"When fixed soul-guided artillery shells are launched, they usually rely on the jet from their tails to reach long-distance explosions. The push device and the power device must be distinguished, separated by high-strength rare metals. The more powerful the The rare metals needed to separate the soul-guided cannon shells become more precious."
The "tail-based jet" makes the custom-installed soul-guided artillery shells seem like rockets, long-range weapons powered by engines. However, its performance is far from Huo Yuhao's impression of rockets with a range of tens or hundreds of kilometers. Ordinary artillery is far inferior. There are roughly three incidents in which custom-made soul-guided artillery shells came into play as the main technical weapon:
Huo Gua single-handedly detonated the underground arsenal in Mingdu, causing the "Sun and Moon Lightless Destruction Day" explosion in Mingdu. The Sun-Moon Empire used three rounds of nine-level fixed soul-guided artillery shells to blow open the Mingdou Mountains to clear the way for the soul mentor group. Shrek The academy uses Zhuge's ballistae and custom-installed soul-guided artillery shells to resist the beast tide.
During the big explosion in Mingdu, the warehouses full of custom-made soul-guided artillery shells were just detonated on the spot and used as super-large bombs, and did not reflect the role of "cannonballs".
In the process of exploding the Mingdou Mountains, the ninth-level fixed soul-guided artillery shells were delivered to the Mingdou Mountains and detonated directly. There was no essential difference from the coal boss using explosives to open the mines. It also only played the role of super-large TNT.
The only time that the custom-installed soul-guided cannonballs were used as a standard weapon for the large-scale deployment of the soul mentor group was when Shrek resisted the beast tide. The problem of custom-installed soul-guided cannonballs was used by the Tang Sect to earn the first bucket. This is most evident in Zhuge's ballistae, which made Jin a huge war fortune.
As a cross-generational product that "fully combines soul guidance technology with Tang Sect's machinery", Zhuge's ballistae represents the most advanced weaponry and can cause competition between the Tianhun Empire and the Star Luo Empire, allowing the Tang Sect to rely solely on this One weapon can earn a lot of money, and it can even suppress the peerless weapon that breaks through the defense of high-energy compression array soul guides.
The parameter performance of such a super weapon undoubtedly far exceeds the single-standard custom-made soul-guided artillery shells that integrate power devices and anti-personnel warheads and are installed on a large scale by the Sun and Moon Empire.
Then, the parameters of the Zhuge Shen Crossbow are...
"The most common Zhuge Godly Ballista has a range of only one kilometer. It can fire fixed soul-guided artillery shells including Level 3 and below."
"The intermediate Zhuge Shooting Ballista can fire fixed soul-guided artillery shells below level five, and the range can reach three kilometers. The high-level Zhuge Shooting Ballista can fire fixed soul-guided artillery shells below level seven, including seven levels. ”
(This is the first time that the parameters have been clarified. Later, there are also reports that the four-level fixed soul-guided artillery shells can have a range of two kilometers without the use of the Zhuge Shen ballista, the range is two kilometers, the fifth level is five kilometers, and the sixth level is eight kilometers. Co-author: The result of the epoch-making improvement of Zhuge Shen's ballistae is that its range has fallen back by half...)
(In the later period, in order to highlight the awesomeness of Huo Gua's delay fuze design, and it was said that the Zhuge Shen Ballista itself can boost the two-kilometer range of fixed-loaded soul-guided artillery shells, the first "intermediate Zhuge Shen Ballista" is used here. "The range is three kilometers)
The custom-installed soul cannons commonly installed by the Sun-Moon Empire's soul engineer regiments are at Level 5. In other words, the effective killing range of the soul engineer regiments that the Sun-Moon Empire most relies on when used as artillery generally does not exceed three kilometers.
Three kilometers... The period when Huo Yuhao was familiar with the army's main field artillery had a range of only three kilometers. It was probably the mid-19th century, between the Napoleonic War and the Franco-Prussian War. The main army artillery that appeared after that had a range of generally more than eight kilometers.
The limit of sight distance for a normal person to see the horizon on the plain is nearly five kilometers... The killing radius of the soul mentor group of only three kilometers is really a guaranteed attack within the sight range, and the aiming method is generally based on feel and experience - - It's only three kilometers. The killing range of the soul-guided cannonball is large enough, and even an experienced soul master's blind attack can't miss it. This is why the Sun-Moon Empire doesn't pay much attention to the development of precise aiming technology.
But it is far from meeting Huo Yuhao's needs and expectations. There is no expectation that the custom-made soul-guided artillery shells can be used as missiles, but they must at least be able to carry out over-the-horizon strikes under the guidance of relevant parameters, right?
But don't do it like when Shrek Academy used the Zhuge Divine Ballista to defend the city. The soul beasts rushed in front of you before entering the shooting range and firing to death. It would be too much fun.
When the beast tide in the Star Dou Forest withstood a round of soul-guided cannonballs from the Zhuge Divine Ballista and still successfully approached the city, all the officers and soldiers in the city followed the city defense officer and roared, "Long live Shrek! Long live! Long live!", "Shrek, Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!”, “Fight for Shrek’s glory!” Huo Yuhao didn’t want such embarrassing things to happen to him in the future.
Huo Yuhao is just a half-hearted keyboard military enthusiast, and he doesn't want to make a 155mm howitzer all at once. He starts with the most compact light mortar. At least he knows that the key to the firing of this thing lies in the bottom of it...
A thimble.
Originally used to push into the bottom of the cannonball to ignite its charge.
When it was his turn to develop, Huo Yuhao also discovered that it was not without reason that the Sun and Moon Empire was going further and further down the road of soul guidance devices. The mortars and shells he magically modified used omnipotent soul power to replace the original gunpowder charges. , the effect is not bad, it relies on the soul power transmitted by the thimble to fire, and the feeling of taking shortcuts is really comfortable.
Standardized artillery launch vehicles (artillery), highly lethal artillery shells, flexible and timely ranging methods, and detailed operation manuals summarized after sufficient experiments are the most basic principles for maintaining an artillery organization with acceptable combat effectiveness in Huo Yuhao's opinion. elements. There are many people in the Sun and Moon Empire who can do better than him in the improvement of artillery shells and vehicles. Huo Yuhao's temporary strength is not in developing top-notch decisive weapons. He compiles manuals with clear ideas and guides the subsequent development of such things that involve low-level thinking. This is what he is currently best at and can best prove his worth.
As for the Zhuge Godly Ballista... Huo Yuhao could understand that someone probably got the inspiration from the rocket launcher, but the three-kilometer range was really a bit nondescript, and it was most likely a made-up result because he didn't know the data well.
The Zhugeshen Ballista looks like a flatbed truck with an area of 10 square meters, on which a cylinder carries a metal box 2.5 meters long and 1.5 meters wide with 18 muzzles.
The number of muzzles of the Zhuge Godly Ballista was also repeatedly between eighteen and sixteen. The one Huo Gua demonstrated to Xu Jiujiu had eighteen muzzles, and it was equipped with forty-eight magazines. A number that is not an integer multiple of the muzzle, a number that threatens obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Senior sister, strictly adjust the secret positions according to the booklet I compiled after many rounds of experiments. Coupled with the distance and direction measured by the soul master flying into the air when the war started, it will have a fundamental influence on the hit rate of the soul master's cannonballs. Improvement. The most important thing is to wait for the development of longer-range artillery in the future. This system can achieve ultra-long-distance strikes. Think about it, the enemy was hit by a barrage of artillery shells before they even met our army. This Can you still see the morale?”
Orange frowned: "It's so complicated... Isn't it troublesome to learn?"
"The only trouble is the compilation of the manual. When fighting, just adjust the secret position according to the ranging results, and you don't have to use your brain. It stands to reason that the wind direction will also cause some disturbance to the trajectory of the artillery shells, but my ability is limited and I don't want to solve it for the time being."
When Huo Yuhao was enthusiastically compiling the user manual, he thought that this thing was very easy. He could quickly come up with a prototype by relying on the formulas accumulated in his previous life. Later, he discovered that the experimental results were always not too big compared to what he expected. But there are obvious deviations that may not be acceptable on the battlefield. My thinking went around in a dead end for a long time before I came out:
When calculating the time from when a cannonball comes out of the barrel to when it hits the ground, Huo Yuhao uses the most ideal calculation method without considering other factors. He directly divides the vertical speed of the cannonball when it comes out of the barrel by the acceleration of gravity and then multiplies it by two.
Later, Huo Yuhao thought: This is the Hydrogen Continent where Tang Wulin could walk over half of the continent by walking 10 million meters. Although the actual situation is not so outrageous, the value of gravity acceleration may not be the approximate 9.8 he subconsciously thought. Physical constants cannot be copied directly...
After struggling for a long time to determine the relevant parameters, he finally managed to compile this set of manuals. Xuan Ziwen immediately reported it to the military. The soul mentor group, who was very interested in new gadgets, sent their own high-level soul mentors to accept the subsequent derivative development work. , Huo Yuhao's greatest contribution was to tell them "how to do it." Experiments with other calibers and charges can just follow the same pattern.
"Sigh... I'll do more research. In the Sun-Moon Empire, we always use force to overwhelm others in battle. If there are not enough shells, just use a few more rounds. Is it necessary to be so precise..."
"Learn it, just in case you use it. If you encounter a situation where you are outnumbered, you have to use ammunition sparingly. With such a method of accurately striking at long distances beyond the visual range, you can attack the crowd as soon as the battle begins. A few hard hits can delay more time until the main force arrives for reinforcements."
In the original work, if Huo Gua and Wang Dong hadn't happened to pass by and rescued Orange, the Emperor, Empress, and God of War would have overturned even though they almost suppressed the rebellion, and died before leaving the battlefield. Huo Yuhao showed her the research and development results of mortars with the intention of insuring her future.
If Orange wants to climb up, it is inevitable to join the army and work hard to achieve military exploits. However, Huo Yuhao has long forgotten the origin, time, and location of the rebellion in the original work. With Orange's eagerness to achieve success, there is a high probability that he will still get involved, but This time, there may not be anyone who "just happens to" pass by to come to the rescue.
It’s better to shoot more accurately and save more ammunition for yourself. Brother Huo may not have the time to protect you. The familiar Empress and God of War in the original work is easy to handle. If you die in battle, what if Xu Tianran replaces you? What should I do if I can't beat the crown princess who is even more powerful but has less love and affection in her head?
Orange put away the manual angrily. After all, this is a product jointly developed by Huo Yuhao and Teacher Xuan. It must be commendable. Moreover, Xu Tianran also hopes that she will make more friends with Huo Yuhao. There is no need to deny Huo Yuhao face in this small matter.
Judging from this incident, this guy seems to be somewhat interested in military-related applications. Maybe there will be many opportunities for cooperation or even recruitment in the future...
Huo Yuhao considered asking Mr. It is inevitable for people to have a little bit of artilleryism. How many men can resist the spectacular scene of forming an organized artillery division and using rocket launchers to clear the ground with thousands of artillery pieces?
As long as the high-level soul mentors in the soul mentor group improve quickly enough, they might be able to get a few "Huo Yuhao Organs" to enjoy themselves in the future.
During the Battle of Bolin, Commander-in-Chief Zhu used about 1,500 Katyusha salvos to attack the city. If there is a chance in the future, it would not be too much for Xiao Huo to bombard Xingluo City with his own hands, right?
That is a city wall that is one hundred meters high and one hundred meters thick. I hope the trajectory of the rockets can fly through it...
…………
"Teacher Yu, is this the... ambition of Shrek's students?"
In the teacher's office, Huo Yuhao flipped through a list and asked without raising his head.
"Yes, and next time, don't take anything on my desk. Do you really think that the academy is your own home?"
"Sorry, sorry, I'll go back and talk to the hall master about this."
Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "It's a good thing you didn't go to the court to fool around, otherwise you would have been a great sycophant, maybe even a palm print or a pen-wielding eunuch."
Huo Yuhao also smiled and scanned the list in front of him twice.
"Shrek sent eight people from the inner courtyard and four from the outer courtyard. The captain's name is... Ye Xiaosheng? He is also a sixth-level soul engineer, which is rare."
Huo Yuhao can't remember his performance in the original work. It seems that he originally wanted to be the boss of Shrek's team of only eleven people, but he was slapped in the face by He Caitou and Huo Gua in the physical examination and later in life. ?
Next to this Shrek student wish list was their personal physical examination results, which Huo Yuhao read with great interest.
"He Caitou, his bone age is fifteen years old, his height is one meter nine, ah..."
Looking at Huo Yuhao's expression that finally changed slightly, Yu Yu put on a smile: "How about it? When Lin Jiayi gave them a physical examination two days ago, he praised this kid as really a human-shaped soul beast. His The physical strength is also far above the normal level, this evaluation is really right."
Huo Yuhao nodded, knowing that Yu Yu's judgment was correct. In the original work, Caitou and Caitou were both over two meters tall when they came to communicate at the age of seventeen.
However, Huo Gua did not give in too much. He was 1.8 meters tall when he took the physical examination at the age of fourteen. Huo Yuhao was quite sure that his body would never be that tall at the age of fourteen. He was quite satisfied with this, even if For an adult man, 1.8 meters is enough, so why worry about growing taller? Just be taller than the average...
Of course, it’s not just that Huo Yuhao and He Caitou’s heights seemed to have grown too fast for normal people. What’s even more outrageous is what’s behind – at the age of seventeen, Huo Gua “had become taller, but he didn’t grow taller.” He is not particularly strong, but has a well-proportioned figure that is full of vigor and vitality at first glance. With a height of 1.9 meters, he is at the upper-middle level among his peers."
He is 1.9 meters tall... He is above average among his seventeen-year-old peers...
Huo Yuhao felt that when he wrote the manual for the mortar, the acceleration of gravity was slightly smaller than the 9.8 in his memory. It finally made sense. People who live in places with small acceleration of gravity are naturally prone to growing taller. Many science fiction stories have people who grow taller. The new humans in space are taller.
"Oh, this He Caitou is now at the level of a fifth-level soul engineer?"
Hearing Huo Yuhao's question, Yu Yu took a sip of tea and nodded: "Although their team leader said that He Caitou is not far from a sixth-level soul master, according to the college's proficiency test results... it was rated as a fifth-level soul master. The super-soul master was a little reluctant, but I still let him get through it, so that such a trivial matter would not bring shame on Shrek."
"Okay, but the level of the soul masters of the other three in their outer courtyard is appalling. Oh, and a bastard has also stepped in from the inner courtyard."
"Everyone has their own tasks. When they come, they are guests. Don't say such things in front of them."
"Okay, I'll try my best. Ling Luochen's wish is to defend soul guidance devices. Ning Tian's wish... there are quite a lot of categories? Xiao Xiao doesn't have any special wishes to learn. Beibei... hopes to get in touch with more literature to improve his understanding of soul guidance. He doesn’t know much about weapons and is not very interested in improving his soul master level?”
Yu Yu explained: "After all, he is the descendant of the Poseidon Pavilion Master. This is only right. He doesn't want to be a soul master anyway, so he might as well read more miscellaneous things."
Huo Yuhao smiled, and then said in a strange and authentic tone: "He Caitou, Ye Xiaosheng and other real soul engineers...their wishes are all filled with the hope of learning the most difficult soul guidance technology, and it is best to arrange it separately for them. Different kinds?”
"There's quite a tacit understanding, isn't it?"
"Do they want to learn the most difficult technique or the most precious technique? Is it their own intention or Shrek Academy's intention?" Huo Yuhao's face looked a bit sinister to Yu Yu.
"Oh, you just need to know it in your heart. You don't need to say it out loud. To some extent, students and the college serve each other and achieve each other. The group of students we went to Shrek also arranged in this way. Why do you think you are so big about Shrek? Malice?"
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and said nothing, while Yu Yu put down the thermos teacup and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Huo Yuhao seemed to have had enough trouble, he asked:
"By the way, speaking of Ultimate Martial Spirit, isn't it said that the speed of cultivation will drop significantly after level 30? Why do I feel like you won't have much of an impact?"
Recommended "Douluo: The Iron-Blooded Sun and Moon of the Peerless Tang Sect", which is full of disasters and reincarnations.
Yu Meng's resurrection book has been updated to where it left off. The protagonist takes the position of the Sun and Moon Empire and tortures the Tang clan to destroy Shrek. Wang Donger and Tang San perform the filial piety of father and daughter~
