Chapter 236 Grenades
"Rifled guns should be able to shoot farther."

"Isn't this a matter of course?"

"I heard that the shells this time use a brand new percussion structure with explosives inside!"

When the orcs heard this term, their whole bodies trembled, and they lost their voices: "Dynamite!"

Explosives and black powder are not the same level of items. It is more violent, making it difficult for people to survive, and even being hit by the aftermath can cause physical injury.

Seeing that the shells were installed, the cannon body was slowly lifted up and aimed at the distant mountains. The orcs were eagerly anticipating the ultimate range of this cannon.

Allen waved his hand, interrupting everyone's thoughts.

"Shoot 500 meters first to see the power of the shell explosion."

"Yes, Master Allen!" The artillerymen responded angrily, then squatted down, recalling the shooting angle and the speed of the propellant dosage in their minds, and slowly adjusted.

Behind the artillery, the great blacksmith Abel also came to the scene.

As a maker of rifled cannons, he is full of expectations for rifled cannons.

However, the production of cannonballs is no longer solely made by the blacksmith. The cannonballs need nitroglycerin and mercury fulminate filled in the detonator. These chemicals need to be specially produced by the orcs in the chemical laboratory.

The blacksmiths are not chemical orcs. Fortunately, Alan's education is in place. They all probably understand that nitroglycerin is a strong liquid explosive, and it will explode with a slight shock.

The shells made by Tomorrow City are filled with nitroglycerin, which is mixed with diatomaceous earth to make the explosives safe and stable.

Because it is too stable, mercury fulminate is needed to detonate nitroglycerin. This series of problems requires the production of complex shell structures. Fortunately, Allen is omnipotent. When the blacksmiths had no idea, Allen sent a confidential shell design.

Abel was stunned for a moment, when he heard a bang, and the buttocks of the rifled cannon moved, shooting out a black shadow that was spinning extremely fast.

The black shadow fell at a distance of 560 meters at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye. In less than a second, a violent flame rose from the ground.

The light rapidly expands from a small singularity into a ball, and the dazzling blazing light rolls in it and spews upwards.

Immediately afterwards, the land around the bomb sank as a whole, and smoke and dust billowed.

Boom!

A little over a second after the light appeared, the orcs heard a violent roar.

In the distance, black clouds and smoke rise from the ground, occupying the main field of vision in the upper half of the sky, while the lower half is full of yellow smoke and dust, rolling horizontally in all directions.

The orcs' feet swayed, feeling the trembling of Mother Earth, the shock was so strong and intuitive.

"terrible."

"This is simply the power to destroy the world!"

"This is a grenade, more terrifying than a pack of explosives!"

The orcs were terrified, their faces flushed with excitement.

As long as ordinary orcs have mastered the filling steps and strictly regulated their own behavior for such a blasting artifact, they can still control the cannon to blast the enemy.

"With such a magical weapon, what are we afraid of? The enemy is coming, give them a hundred and eighty guns, and make sure they are scared to death!" The orc laughed loudly, very proud.

"Hey, there are not many shells like this. Don't be too happy, everyone. The cost of a grenade is equal to a thousand gold dragons. Every shell is a waste of money." Abel was very unhappy, afraid that the artillerymen Destroyed the family property of Tomorrow City.

"Blacksmith Abel is right, we will use it carefully!" The artilleryman calmed down his feverish mind instantly when he heard a thousand golden dragons firing a cannon.

Then a violent gust of wind blew over from the center of the explosion, blowing the hair of the orcs, and subconsciously squinted their eyes.

"According to the law of conservation of energy in physics books, energy can be transferred, and the kinetic energy of propellant combustion must have enhanced the power of explosives." Ivan explained the reason why the power of the grenade was greater than expected with the knowledge of physics in half a bucket of water.

The orcs waited for a while, and Allen ordered the artillery to replace it with ordinary steel solid shells to test their long-range shooting capabilities.

"preparation!"

boom!
The cannonball turned into a black shadow and disappeared on the distant horizon. The orcs looked up and tried to distinguish the distance, but unfortunately it was too far to evaluate.

Allen nodded silently. The range of the rifled gun was as good as expected. With the blessing of five riflings, the range doubled several times, and a solid gun shot to a distance of 3000 meters.

The logistics soldiers couldn't run that far, so they could only wait for the logistics soldiers to ride horses to confirm where the shells fell.
