All this was seen by Arthur, but he was not worried at all.
Because Aslan is in a different world, it only takes a few minutes to go back and forth.
I heard that the Duke of Medea was going to another world after proclaiming himself a cultivator. The Maid of Nomeli was just sitting in the Medea Magic Tower. The reason why she didn't follow him was because she didn't have enough power to suppress the sealing cultivator.
Ability to work as a guard conscientiously.
It's just that Arthur didn't know that there was an undercurrent surging in the Sino Continent, especially in the Kingdom of Cleveland. The Maxim Empire had secretly sent envoys to the northern provinces.
At the same time, in an underground laboratory somewhere in Kyoto, representatives of the Yashiro family were almost there, plotting something. Among them, there was an old acquaintance of Aslan in this laboratory.
Kira Yamato.
In the end, Patrick made the final decision, and the others also pressed their thumbprints of agreement.
"Everything you have done is for the future of the Kingdom of Cleveland. I am proud of you." Kira said with a smile on her face.
If this matter were said by other nobles, it must be sacred and solemn, but when it was said by him, it gave people an indescribable feeling of discomfort and weirdness.
However, no one among the nobles present spoke to answer, but remained silent.
Kira asked for trouble and used magic to copy the contract above. At the same time, he asked everyone to hold the contract and use the magic crystal ball to imprint this great scene.
Unfortunately, all this was so hidden that not even the Royal Academy of Magic noticed it, and Aslan got even less information.
Because at this time, he was concentrating on studying the captured 80mm mortar, which was the standard equipment produced in the devil-occupied areas. The northern industry of Kanglai country was weak and could not produce steel of this specification. The northern and southern regions were occupied by devils. He wanted to
It is very difficult to mobilize material support.
In fact, apart from the heavy firepower brought by the northern defenders at the beginning, the rest was all captured.
As for self-production, there is not a single one, and even the President, who is suspected of being a time traveler, can do nothing.
After all, developing industry is not just about talking about it. It requires action from all aspects. In order to ensure the leadership of science and technology, the invaders would naturally not agree to Kanglai's development of heavy industry. They have always made various obstacles to prevent it.
, and even sent people to blow up the steel mills and military factories in Kanglai State.
Aslan flicked the barrel of the mortar and said boringly: "Even this piece of shit has to be imported."
Duke Medea came over, looked at the mortar in front of him with interest, and gestured with his hands.
"This cannon is really small, how powerful is it?"
Aslan pondered for a while and then said: "The 80-caliber explosion center radius in front of me is 15 meters. Within this 15-meter range, it is estimated that only the knight commander wearing heavy armor can survive."
Duke Medea understood instantly.
In addition to heavy armor protection, you also need to turn on the fighting spirit armor. The knight's fighting spirit armor can complement the knight's heavy armor, and the resulting defensive power can even be compared to the great swordsman's fighting spirit armor.
"This thing is good! It can be mass-produced. It is much better than the electromagnetic gun you made." Duke Medea immediately nodded in praise.
Aslan shook his head helplessly.
"Medea, these two weapons are completely different. Mortars and electromagnetic guns are both indispensable firepower equipment in future wars. Mortars accompany infantry attacks to provide close fire support; electromagnetic guns are used for deep strikes.
Long-range suppression, precise shooting.”
"The mortar seems to be easier to produce than the electromagnetic gun, and it is more powerful, but it has a fatal flaw. The shells fly slowly and have low penetration ability. A simple fortification of one layer of logs and several layers of earth and stone can withstand 80 mm
Mortar attack."
"In addition, the speed of mortar shells is slow, generally below the speed of sound. Enemy soldiers can avoid it in time when they hear the scream of flight, let alone professionals. The explosion range seems to be very large. Any junior professional,
Not to mention that even high-level professionals can easily avoid it."
Aslan explained carefully.
Duke Medea nodded in understanding.
"What about large-scale fire coverage?" Duke Medea asked a key question.
Aslan smiled and nodded, silently giving the teacher's wife a thumbs up. A military look is okay!
"This is the biggest advantage of mortars, but mortars also have a fatal flaw, that is, the range is shorter. Take the mortar in front of you as an example! The maximum range is only four kilometers, and this distance is still too far for the Magister's attack.
Within the range.”
Duke Medea said lightly "Oh" and then lost interest.
"Then why are you working so hard on research? It's easy for people to run away after the shells are fired, and the range is short."
Aslan smiled and said: "Mortars and artillery shells are cheap, and their shells are made of gray cast iron, ductile iron, etc. Cast iron is hard and brittle, and it is easy to produce more fragments in an explosion, increasing the lethality.
Therefore, for low-level professionals and ordinary people, mortars are more lethal and more effective on the battlefield."
Aslan did not say the last word. With the emergence of rifles, the original head-on war will gradually be eliminated. At first, it may enter the stage of lining up on the wall, but with the emergence of machine guns, it will enter trench warfare. That is mortar warfare.
A place where cannons show their power.
Gray cast iron is cast iron obtained when the graphitization process in the first stage is fully carried out. All or most of the carbon exists in the form of flake graphite, and the fracture surface is gray in color.
The fracture surface of gray cast iron is light gray, so it is called gray cast iron (gray iron). It is cheap and widely used. Gray cast iron accounts for more than 80% of the total cast iron production.
This thing is extremely cheap, and even Kanglai can produce it on a large scale, so Aslan directly made a few molds and sent them to the Tiger Regiment headquarters, asking Political Commissar Li Xin to have the gun embryos poured as soon as possible. As for the fuse
If you can let workers build it, build it, and you can no longer use innate magic to solve it.
As for the cannon barrel, let Leto and the others deal with it. After all, they now have more than a million silver coins on hand and control many factories and industries, the most famous of which is the war gas potion.
Two silver coins were sold here in Tiger Regiment, but three silver coins were bought in the coastal areas.
The most important thing is that the quantity is large, and thousands of them are purchased at every turn, allowing the two to quickly squeeze into the upper class society along the coast.
Of course, the underworld forces in Weicheng, the city where the two were located, disappeared without a trace in just half a month.
They soon received Aslan's order to purchase high-strength composite steel in large quantities.
The two of them took action quickly. Kain was responsible for the work in Wei City, while Leto went to Wen City. He believed that he would soon be able to deliver a high-quality gun barrel to Aslan.
After all, in addition to building two advanced chemical plants, they also acquired a machinery manufacturing plant, for which they also imported a batch of advanced machines.
