Douluo mainland Dragon God game

Chapter 500 Tang San looked at the cannon with small eyes and wide eyes

With such a load, it is impossible to move quickly, let alone follow a powerful soul saint.

Among the crowd, a commander of the Tang Army shouted: "Lord Soul Master, wait a minute, we can't run that fast!"

Ahead, Flender heard the shout, and then he reacted and slowed down.

However, he still looked impatient, eager to take the captured artillery back, and at the same time, he also wanted to see what kind of power the artillery would have when used.

Therefore, when he turned his head to look at the commander, his tone was urging.

"Try to be as fast as possible, and don't be chased by the enemy."

"Yes, yes, I understand."

The commander's chest rose and fell slightly, and he quickly answered.

After a period of time, Flender led a group of Tang troops back to the Star Luo Empire barracks.

As soon as he entered the barracks, he hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army, not even taking time to drink his saliva.

However, what Flender didn't notice was that the number of the newly formed Tang family army he brought back was reduced by more than half compared to when he first set off!
Of course, Flender's mind was already filled with the joy of capturing the artillery, so he didn't look at it at all.

Entering the big tent of the Chinese army, there are only Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing in the tent.

When Flender saw the two of them, he was pleasantly surprised.

"Mubai, Zhuqing, I brought the cannons of the Spirit Empire!"

"what?!"

Dai Mubai suddenly stood up, his face full of joy.

Afterwards, the three of them left the tent, and called Tang San, Yu Linglong and several others.

When everyone came to a slightly calm area, Flender reached out and touched his soul tool.

"boom!"

The ground roared and trembled, the surrounding grass blades flew, and a huge object appeared on the ground.

It was a huge black body, with a long pipe of four and a half meters, mounted on a frame with rubber wheels.

The frame and pipes are all made of steel, and the two rubber wheels are slightly sunken in the soft mud, which looks heavy.

Among them, the pipe is quite large, more than five inches wide, majestic and imposing.

The powerful weapon of the Wuhun Empire, artillery!
It was just early in the morning, and there was a fish-belly white in the east, and the orange-yellow rays of the early sun cast down, and some bright reflections appeared on the artillery barrels, and the smooth luster was so eye-catching.

Among them, Yu Linglong looked at the cannon with joy and affirmation on her face.

"Yes, this is the cannon without a doubt, Dean, you are really amazing!"

With the affirmation of his own students, Flender triumphantly stroked the not very long beard on his chin.

"That's right, I don't even think about who your dean is? Is there anything in this world that is difficult for me?"

"What about the shells?"

Yu Linglong hurriedly asked again.

"Don't be so impatient!"

Flender gave Yu Linglong a white look, and reached out to touch his soul tool again, the ground shook again, and two huge wooden boxes appeared next to the cannon.

They were two boxes of slightly conical objects, with a pointy head and a rounded bottom. They were all pitch black, and they were neatly stacked in wooden boxes.

Wuhun Empire standard ammunition, 150 [-]mm high-explosive bombs!
Flender looked at the two boxes of shells curiously, and raised his head to ask Yu Linglong.

"Linglong, I got the cannon and shells back, how do I use them?"

Flender had never seen artillery before, let alone used it.

At the scene, the rest of the people also looked at Yu Linglong curiously. It was the first time that this new weapon was seen by everyone. Only Yu Linglong had relevant knowledge, and no one else knew about it.

In fact, Yu Linglong didn't know much about it. Her relevant information was obtained from watching TV dramas and various movies before time travel, and she didn't know much about artillery as a weapon.

However, with so many people watching her at the scene, she was also a little embarrassed, so she couldn't say that she didn't know what was going on, could she?
Hmm... Let's take a look at the structure of this cannon first, and then try it out.

Yu Linglong thought so in her heart.

She walked up to the barrel of the gun and looked into the bore through the muzzle.

The muzzle is engraved with dense and neat thread rifling, which is slightly spiral and extends to the bottom where the barrel connects to the bore.

what is this?
Yu Linglong was puzzled.

The artillery in the movie does not have close-ups of this aspect, and the artillery in ancient film and television dramas is not like this!

Yu Linglong frowned tightly, unable to do anything.

Fortunately, at this time, Flender next to him sent a reminder.

"I've also seen the threads inside the gun barrel. I guess it's used to hold the shells, because the Wuhun Empire was able to fire at a depression angle on the hillside before, and the shells wouldn't slide down the barrel. That's what it should do. .”

Ah, that's right!

Yu Linglong suddenly realized, she smiled and praised Flender again.

"Principal Flender is really amazing, you all know that."

She boasted so much, but she was glad in her heart.

Hey, it's a good thing Dean Flender said it out, otherwise he would be embarrassed and die of shame, huh...

Feeling relieved, Yu Linglong walked to the side of the cannon's rubber wheels.

On the two rubber wheels is the installed gun frame. Part of the gun frame is closed steel. The gun bore can be clearly seen. The volume and cross-section are also larger than the gun barrel. There is a sliding cover on the top and a Two air pumps, and two brackets.

Yu Linglong could see the air pump and bracket very clearly. The air pump must be used to stop the recoil. On the one hand, it can reduce the recoil, and on the other hand, it can also be used as a follow-up automatic shelling machine to eject the shells.

The brackets are used to completely counteract the recoil force. In some military news that Yu Linglong has read occasionally, the towed howitzer above has two brackets, which diverge when firing and support the ground.

Next, is the test firing, right?
Yu Linglong looked a little excited, she picked up a cannonball.

The cannonball is a bit heavy, but Yu Linglong is a beast spirit master herself, so this weight has no effect on her at all. The 150mm grenade that ordinary soldiers need two people to lift up can be lifted with one hand.

The reason for picking it up instead of picking it up is because the cannonball is a bit big, with a diameter of 150 cm in cross-section, and it is impossible for ordinary people to hold it with one hand, let alone a girl?
However, when Yu Linglong picked up the cannonball, she frowned again, and a new problem arose.

How to fire it?

In the movies and TV dramas that Yu Linglong watched before, modern cannons were all fired by pulling ropes, that is, the fringe hair style.

However, the current Wuhun Empire artillery does not have a corresponding pull cord, that is to say, it does not ignite with spikes.

She looked at the cannon and noticed that the sliding cover on it seemed to be openable.

Is it possible...

With some guesses in mind, Yu Linglong walked up to the cannon, reached out and opened the sliding cover, revealing a small hole.

really!

Yu Linglong's phoenix eyes opened wide, with a certain affirmation on her face.

Before traveling, she had seen that in some medieval and modern war films, many old-fashioned cannons were fired with torches.

It seems that this cannon is also ignited and fired. This should be the fire hole, which is used to insert the lead wire.

Yu Linglong thought so in her heart.

But then, she frowned again.

Looking at the appearance of this gun, it is relatively close to the style of modern artillery!Why is the ignition method using the old-fashioned artillery method?

Yu Linglong is not Qian Feier's kind of math-physics student, so naturally she can't think of primers and cannonballs. In fact, if there is an electric primer, Qian Feier will naturally use the fringe hair style, or even press the buttons to ignite and fire the cannon.

Modern artillery, to put it bluntly, is an enlarged version of rifle firearms. Whether it is a pull cord or a button, the firing pin hits the bottom of the shell.

The electric primer at the bottom of the shell is struck, creating an electric spark that ignites the gunpowder between the case and the warhead.

The gunpowder burns violently, and a small-scale explosion occurs. The solid gunpowder in it decomposes into a large amount of gas in an instant, and at the same time generates extremely high atmospheric pressure.

The tyrannical atmospheric pressure pushes the warhead toward the side with lower pressure, that is, along the outside of the gun barrel. At this time, a loud "bang!" can be heard, and the warhead will fly out of the gun barrel.

But now, Qian Fei'er has just completed the test of the generator, and there is no time to build the electric primer, so naturally, he has to use the old-fashioned method for manual ignition.

Star Luo Empire military camp, on a gentle mountain.

Yu Linglong observed the cannon several times, and finally found the gate on the breech of the cannon, opened it and stuffed the cannonball.

It's just that the shell is obviously smaller than the barrel, she feels a little strange, and the frown can't be opened for a long time.

This shell is so much smaller than the barrel, what's going on?Can this really fire?
She tried to push the cannonball forward, just enough to push the barrel. The threads on the cannonball and the rifling on the barrel were tightly combined, and the seams were tightly closed without leaving any gaps.

It seems that this is indeed a cannonball, and it is indeed flying out of the barrel like this, but how to ignite it like this?

Yu Linglong couldn't figure it out, the current cannonball was obviously out of the distance from the lead wire, if only the lead wire was inserted, the flames from the lead wire would not be able to burn the shell at all.

The people around were watching Yu Linglong all the time, Tang San with dark blue long hair saw Yu Linglong frowning all the time, his face troubled, he couldn't help asking: "Linglong, what's wrong?"

Yu Linglong heard Tang San's words, and turned to look at the core of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Forget it, it's good to ask Tang San to give some advice, but he is also a person who can make gunpowder arrows, maybe he will know something.

Thinking of this in her heart, Yu Linglong smiled and nodded.

"Yes, third brother, this artillery is very different from what I know. Now, I am not sure how this artillery fires."

"Huh? Don't know how to fire?"

Tang San frowned, came to Yu Linglong's side, and opened the cannon.

The barrel of the gun is very light, and it is still a little reflective in the morning sun, and a little bit of dust can slide down from it.

The inside of the barrel is connected to the barrel. At this time, the barrel is loaded with a shell. Because of the relationship between the thread and the rifling, the shell is stuck on the barrel and does not slide down the barrel at a certain elevation angle.
