"Stop talking nonsense!" Dongfang Yu stood up with the drawings, looked at Wang Pu and Ma Jun who stood up at the same time and said: "Wang Pu, Ma Jun, call a few soldiers from the arsenal to bring out the Frankie cannon. I want to test the cannon."
"promise!"
Wang Pu and Ma both received the order and immediately went down to make arrangements. After calling a few people, he slowly lifted Frankie's cannon while he was observing.
The purpose of the test gun is to check whether there are any problems with the Frankie gun and whether the various performance indicators meet the passing standards.
What a cannon! The most dangerous thing is to explode the chamber, that is to say! The cannonball was not fired and exploded in the barrel; this was dangerous, and it might have blown itself up.
so! For a weapon to be officially put into service, it must go through experiments again and again. After problems are discovered, the problems will be solved. Only after it meets all the requirements will it be handed over to soldiers for use! otherwise! Once a problem occurs on the battlefield, no one can afford it.
"Your Highness, where should we test fire? What is the target?" Xu Meng asked.
Xu Meng, after hanging out with Dongfang Yu for a few days, completely became Dongfang Yu's little fan, but he was very interested in those weird things.
Dongfang Yu thought for a moment and said slowly: "Go to the experimental site and ask someone to set a target two thousand meters away."
"clear!"
The news was passed on to the soldiers. After receiving the instructions, the soldiers quickly went to the experimental site and, as required, found a stone one meter wide and high as a shooting target.
Dongfang Yu, Xu Meng, Wang Pu, Ma Jun and others also arrived at the experimental site.
Frankie's cannon immediately set up on the ground and adjusted its position. Frankie's cannon only weighs three hundred kilograms and can be easily moved by four people, even in mountains and plains, without any trouble.
certainly! Although the distance of two miles is a straight line, the target is still blurry.
"Your Highness, the cannon is two thousand meters away from the target. If you want to strike accurately without a commander, it will be difficult to hit the target!" Xu Meng unknowingly revealed the key to the problem.
A commander is a must. An artillery commander is the most important member of the artillery team. He issues instructions based on flags and conveys the location of the target to the artillery verbally.
Dongfang Yu couldn't help but smile, "Hey! Military advisor, I have already prepared!"
Clearing his throat, "Wang Pu, take out our telescope."
"promise!"
What!
telescope?
What is this? Could it be another weird thing invented by His Highness?
I saw Wang Pu taking out a small thing with two holes and a small thing with a single hole.
Could this be a telescope?
Xu Meng couldn't help but wonder, what use could this thing have if it was so small?
Wu Guo has the ability to create divine cannons, firecrackers, and firearms! But this telescope doesn’t have it! The first is that there is no technology, but that in the past hundred years, the Wu Kingdom's navigation industry has gradually declined, and the Dawu Research Institute has ceased operations.
As a result, Dawu's current technological level is still at the level of two centuries ago, that is, two hundred years ago.
Overseas countries may have made good progress in research, even surpassing Wu State. But this telescope alone is definitely difficult to manufacture given the current level of the countries.
certainly! Telescopes can only help soldiers see more clearly, but small targets two thousand meters away can still be seen clearly with the naked eye as long as they are not blurry enough.
But at this time, Dongfang Yu had an idea in his mind. As long as there were enough materials, he could use modern knowledge to build an astronomical telescope.
Um!
If you have time, you can try it!
"What's the use of this thing?" Xu Meng walked over, picked up the single-hole telescope, and started playing with it.
Dongfang Yu said helplessly: "Where's this telescope? It has another name, called Thousand-mile Telescope. The mirror hole is aimed at the eyes, and things far away can be seen clearly."
"Military advisor, why don't you give it a try!"
Dongfang Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Is this telescope really so magical?"
"Then I have to try!"
Xu Meng couldn't wait to put the single-barrel telescope on his left eye.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, what kind of thing is this? It looks too small!"
You don't know it, but at first glance, Dongfang Yu almost laughed like a pig.
Where is my military advisor? Do you think you are also a very smart and sane person? A small telescope can still see Cha Pi.
Dongfang Yu tried hard to hold back his laughter, "My great military advisor, you held it backwards! Look at the little one over there."
Hey hey hey!
Xu Meng smiled politely and awkwardly, and then turned the telescope of Qianliwang over.
Hahaha!
"It's clear! It's clear! There's just some astigmatism!"
"Then close that right eye!"
This guy is so stupid for the first time.
"Your Highness! One shot at a time, loaded! Please fire."
"Aim at the target and prepare to fire!"
Dongfang Yu's eyes were focused, and he was so nervous that he almost raised his throat. Compared to the cruel and cold battlefield, I have never been as nervous and moved as I am today.
"emission!"
Boom!
There was a sound of artillery, and the shells roared out like a dragon. The Franky Cannon has a louder sound than the Crouching Cannon. This also indicates that the power and performance of Frankie's cannon are higher than those of the Crouching Tiger Cannon. certainly! It does not deny the advantages of the Tiger Crouching Cannon itself.
but! The moment the cannonball was safely drilled, the stone hanging in Dongfang Yu's heart finally fell to the ground. As long as the barrel does not explode, it means that the newly developed Frankie cannon has no problem killing.
boom!
Following a sharp piercing sound, a loud roar roared like an evil tiger roaring. The sound shook the sky.
As the smoke spread, a deep pit exploded two miles away. Unfortunately, the artillery shell was affected by the air, and the entire trajectory was slightly deflected and did not hit the target. But no matter what, in the face of a war involving tens of thousands or even 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of people, it is inherently a matter of indiscriminate bombing without precise targeting.
"Your Highness! The target was not hit!"
"It doesn't matter! Move the target to a thousand meters away and give it a try."
Two miles is really too far, and the hit rate is already low. It is expected that he failed to hit.
Another cannon shot was fired, and the shells fell, directly blowing the target to pieces.
Seven hundred meters, five hundred meters, the distance was getting closer again, and the only way to check whether there was any problem with Frankie's cannon was to test the cannon again and again.
But simply, Frankie's cannon fired four times in a row, safe and sound, no problem. In other words, the first Frankie cannon from another world has been successfully developed.
After the experience of the first Frankie cannon, there was the mass production of Frankie cannons and the mass production of shells.
Dongfang Yuxin's instructions are to make the cross as quickly as possible within one month, after all! With the current strength of the Beiliang Arsenal, the cross may be the upper limit of one month. We also have to rush to make artillery shells, which is our mission! But it’s extremely difficult!
