"Answer!" Faced with a system that demands money, Kang Lin, who desperately needs to know the answer to the question, has no choice but to have his hard-earned merit deducted.
"Hey, the deduction is successful, the system gives the answer, 'Transformed Artillery Card', an ordinary modified prop, which can slightly improve the performance and power of artillery weapons after use. In addition, 100 merit points will be deducted for each use..."
"Can the performance and power of artillery be slightly improved?!" After Conlin learned that the two small black iron plates that looked inconspicuous could have such functions, he immediately had some other ideas in his mind.
Yes, during the inspection just now, this guy discovered that most of the artillery equipped on his ships are small-caliber bowl-mouth guns, squatting tiger cannons, and Fran cannons. And, more importantly, these weak firepower The Tiger Crouching Cannon (i.e. Baizi Cannon), Wankou Cannon, and Folangji were partially damaged in the previous fierce battle. Therefore, these "modified artillery cards" that can increase the power of the artillery are very precious in Kang Lin's eyes. And practical too!
"System, how do you use this 'modified artillery card'?" This was Conlin's first time using this kind of modified prop, so out of caution, he chose to continue asking the system.
"Hey, the 'Modified Artillery Card' is the same as the 'Officer Upgrade Token'. As long as the player sets the upgrade and transformation objects, and then issues instructions, the system will automatically upgrade and transform..." It's rare that the system is answering this question. At that time, Kang Lin's remaining merits were not deducted.
"Oh, now you can modify this Fo Lang machine and that Tiger Crouching Cannon for me!" After hearing this, the guy immediately stretched out his hand and designated a Fo Lang Machine and a Tiger Crouching Cannon placed next to it. The system will transform and upgrade it!
"Hey, the upgrade target has been determined. The artillery upgrade is in progress. 1%, 2%,...98%, 99%, 100%, the transformation is completed!" The artillery transformation was carried out very quickly. After deducting 200 points of merit, the cannon was transformed. The upgrade progress bar will come to an end after a while. And after the fog dissipated, two artillery pieces that had been modified by the system suddenly appeared in front of the head of Kang University!
The modified Folan cannon is modified from the ordinary Folan cannon. It is 1.8 meters long and weighs 500 kilograms. It needs to be loaded with 1 kilogram of gunpowder when firing. The effective range is 200-300 meters. It is a standing artillery system on medium-sized warships. Evaluation, good grade weapons.
The modified tiger crouching cannon is modified from the ordinary tiger crouching cannon. It is 0.6 meters long and weighs 36 kilograms. It needs to be loaded with 7 taels of gunpowder when firing. It can combine a large 3 kilogram cannon shell with a hundred 5 kilograms. Small lead pellets are fired to a distance of 30-60 meters. They are one of the indispensable fire support weapons of the Ming Dynasty army. System evaluation indicates that they are excellent weapons.
"Nice weapon!" Moreover, just when Conlin and his deputy were lamenting the magic of the system, a detailed weapon introduction suddenly appeared in front of this guy, and this can help the unfamiliar to a great extent. Kang Lin, the old-fashioned firearms expert, has a better understanding of these two cannons with a dark cyan metallic light!
"Uncle Six, send two people to try our new artillery..." There are no mobile phones, no computers, and of course no good kid movies that the masses love to see! Kang Da, who has not yet fully adapted to life at sea, has been living a very boring life these two days. Therefore, after seeing his cannons being upgraded by the system, he couldn't wait to try them out. power. (Kang Lin: Just watch the fireworks!)
"Okay, Boss, Commander Yan (then the gunnery commander of the Flying Henanese bird ship and the fleet's painting officer), you can take a few people to try out these two cannons!"
"Okay, Mr. Liu, please just stand aside and watch!" After receiving Liu Laoliu's order, Yan Si did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately led several of his men forward to load the ammunition, and then Adjust the muzzle of the gun to point it at the vast sea and put down the torch fiercely!
"boom!"
A huge cannon sound suddenly exploded in everyone's ears! Suddenly, sharp-eyed guys discovered that some cannons of different sizes and weights broke free from the shackles of the barrels driven by black gunpowder, penetrated the thick smoke, and flew towards the sea not far away!
"About thirty steps (approximately 50 meters)!" Then, when the cannons flew for a certain distance and fell into the sea exhausted, hitting large or small water columns, I kept observing with a monocular telescope. The watchman immediately used his loud voice to report to the commanders standing under the mast the maximum range of the test cannon.
"Continue to increase the amount of gunpowder!" Compared to his cheering subordinates, Conlin was not satisfied with the range of this cannon. He was joking. I have seen too many large and small cannons on the Internet, such as Napoleon cannons and Krupp breech Heavy artillery, anti-aircraft artillery, Type 89 60mm mortar, recoilless rifle, self-propelled howitzer, Katyusha rocket launcher, I really don’t think this gun is any good. Therefore, in order to find out the maximum charge capacity of the artillery equipped in his fleet, he continued to shout to the temporary gunners standing in front of the artillery after hearing the report from his subordinates.
"Yes!" After hearing the order from the boss, the two temporary gunners immediately cleaned the barrel of the gun with quick hands and feet, then loaded the black powder into it and compacted it. In addition, they also stuffed the stubby barrel with small guns. Cannonball and a larger cannonball!
"Fire!"
"Boom!" Amidst the rumbling sound of the cannon, thick smoke came out of the muzzle of the Crouching Tiger Cannon again! Moreover, through the choking smoke, Kang Lin and others were pleasantly surprised to find that despite adding a lot more gunpowder, the modified Tiger Crouching Cannon still showed no signs of exploding!
What a blast! Seeing the Crouching Tiger Cannon being lifted off by the gunner, everyone couldn't help but secretly admire it.
"Master, it's about forty steps (about 66 meters) this time!" After a rough estimate, Wangshou reported a relatively exciting number to Kang Lin and others.
"Great, the product produced by the system must be a high-quality product!" 66 meters, 66 meters. After being modified by the system, this crude tiger crouching cannon can actually hit 66 meters away. This time it is really I found a treasure! While Kanglin retracted the long telescope, he couldn't help but admire the outstanding performance of the modified Tiger Crouching Cannon!
"Master, are you going to continue testing the Folang machine below?"
"Of course, you continue to test-fire..." After hearing the inquiries from his temporary gunners, Kang Lin, who was very satisfied with the power of the Tiger Crouching Cannon, would say nothing else. He just happily asked the gunners to continue to test-fire the gun. The more powerful Folan cannon!
------Dividing line------------------
"Master, there is a ship due south!" But while the gunners were busy loading the modified Franco machine, the lookout in the lookout post at the top of the mast seemed to have discovered something, so there was an immediate sound on the deck. His warning sound was like a gong.
"Due to the south!" After hearing the warning signal from the watchman, a group of people on the bird boat immediately became busy. The guy with a telescope stretched the copper telescope, while the rest set up a pergola with their hands. Looking far into the distance. Sure enough, on the sea not far away, a small sailboat was swinging its big oar and heading west quickly against the headwind!
"Master, the boat is smaller than ours. It looks like it may be a small sand boat!" Liu Laoliu is indeed an old gangster. From the physical characteristics of the boat, he can quickly judge that the small sailing boat should be a small sand boat. A small sand boat loaded with cargo. (Small sand boat, 20 meters long, 3.35 meters wide, 30 tons load, 15 kilometers per hour)
"Small sand boat?" Kang Lin frowned unconsciously. Such a small boat dared to appear alone in this sea area. Is it really not afraid of running into pirates? You know, this sea area is very close to the actual control area of the fierce shark pirates!
"Uncle Six, don't pay attention to it. Instruct the brothers to be more prompt. We must take advantage of the storm to drive more and try to reach the place that Boss Qiao mentioned as soon as possible!" However, in line with the idea of doing more is worse than doing less. , looking at the looming small sand boat not far away, Kang Lin, who did not want to cause trouble, turned to Liu Laoliu and gave the order to continue sailing regardless of the merchant ship.
"Master, that merchant ship has turned towards us for some unknown reason!" However, sometimes things develop in a way that people don't want! On the mast several meters high, the observer holding a monocular telescope quickly reported the latest situation he observed to the head of UConn.
"What?!" Kang Lin couldn't believe his ears. Did that little sand boat take the wrong medicine? There were two boats here. Aren't they afraid that he would do something to them on a whim? Black eats black!
