Chapter two hundred and ninety-two burst guns and cannons
"Your Majesty, this cannon is different from the Tiger Crouching Cannon. Is this the new cannon you are talking about?"
The old master Gao Liangping was more interested in the two new cannons than Yu Ming and Song Chengwang.
Advanced weapons are related to the stability of the Jiangzhou regime. The more stable the Jiangzhou regime is, the more comfortable the old master's life will be in his later years.
"Yes, these are the two. This one here is a continuous-fire cannon. The inner hall can be taken out. The shells can be loaded into the inner hall and the shells can be fired directly by replacing the inner hall. The rate of fire is extremely fast and is suitable for offensive operations.
.”
"The whole thing here is a large-caliber artillery. It is much more powerful than the Tiger Crouching Cannon, but it is very heavy and is more suitable for city defense warfare."
"As for the name, I haven't decided on the name yet. The cannon test will be completed soon, and the old master can give me some suggestions."
The Fran cannon and the Hongyi cannon were just what Song Yang called them in his mind. The craftsmen only knew that these two things were called New Cannon No. 1 and New Cannon No. 2.
Number one is the Franco machine gun, and number two is the Hongyi cannon.
The specific name of Song Yang was not mentioned, both names are not good.
In this era, the Franco machine did not have cannons, and the Hongyi certainly did not have cannons either.
Therefore, these two guns need a more localized name.
"Uncle Wang! Let's try the cannon first! After the test is over, we can think about the name later!"
Song Chengwang shouted anxiously.
Seeing the openings of these two new cannons, Song Chengwang couldn't wait to fire them.
"Okay! Let's test the cannon first." Song Yang smiled and nodded.
Although I am very confident in my design and the skills of my craftsmen.
But for safety reasons.
This first test of the gun still used a five-meter-long fire fuse.
As for lighting the fire, it was left to Song Chengwang and Yu Ming.
Two people and one person is responsible for ordering one.
The first test was the new No. 1 Fran machine gun.
Song Chengwang lit the fuse and turned around, firing the cannon into the trench behind him.
Everyone was hiding inside and waiting.
"boom!"
The fuse burned out and the gun was fired.
With one shot, the range exceeds 700 meters!
This is still a horizontal shot. If it is a projectile, the maximum range will definitely be more than one thousand meters!
"so far!"
Everyone was amazed that this range alone could crush the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
If two armies were to fight against each other, with hundreds of platforms on display, the enemy would be wiped out without even being seen.
Song Yang led people up to check the cannon body, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Song Yang took matters into his own hands and replaced the inner chamber of the sub-cannon, and then the second cannon was fired at close range by the gunner of the Tiger Crouching Cannon Battalion.
"boom!"
Launched successfully, still no problems.
This time the guys were even more excited.
Song Yang's reloading process just now happened in front of everyone.
Simple operation, just pick it up and install it.
If you move faster, you can fire a cannon in just a few breaths!
Of course, considering the overheating problem, this speed cannot be achieved.
But it's still possible to fire five or six shots in one minute.
This rate of fire is unimaginable for the Tiger Crouching Cannon.
"With this magical weapon, why worry about the world being unfair!" Master Gao shouted from the balcony, expressing his emotion again.
The elderly teacher had many emotions.
Whenever there is a major advancement in Jiangzhou, the old teacher always does this, and everyone is used to it.
New Cannon No. 1 fired five shots, proving the success of design and casting with practical actions.
New Cannon No. 2, the Hongyi Cannon, is several times larger than the Tiger Crouching Cannon.
The length of the barrel is almost as long as a person's height.
The gun barrel is mounted on a gun mount made of steel, and its height is seventy or eighty minutes.
Because it was a test gun, Song Yang did not use a wheeled gun mount. He fixed it there first and fired a few shots.
This time it was because Ming was responsible for igniting the fire.
It's also a long lead.
After it was lit, everyone hid in silence.
"boom!"
The loud noise made the old master almost fall down.
Although he is much stronger than Gao Junyan, the old Gao family's gene of being afraid of loud noises still exists.
"This guy is so loud!" Ma Cheng and others exclaimed.
"That's for sure. The Tiger Crouching Cannon makes a loud bang, so it makes sense that this thing would be louder."
Song Chengwang supported the edge of the ditch, kicked his legs and rolled out of the ditch, patting the dust on his injuries and said.
Everyone should pay attention to their status. They cannot climb over the wall like Song Chengwang and can only climb up the stairs.
"Uncle Wang! Look! This thing must have hit the ground two or three miles away!" Song Chengwang shouted, pointing to the landing point far away.
The target in the distance is paved with green grass, and the landing point can be clearly seen.
"More than a thousand meters!" Yu Ming emphasized.
Song Yang requested that the metric system be used as much as possible.
Soon, the soldier responsible for the measurement came back.
"Reporting to your lord, my lords, the impact point of this cannon is 1,430 meters away!"
"Good guy! It's so far away!" This distance really shocked everyone.
Including the designer Song Yang.
Because it was the first version of the design, Song Yang thought that it would be successful if it could hit a thousand meters.
Anyway, there is still room for improvement.
As a result, the experimental result reached about 1,500 meters.
"Quick! Look at the barrel and body of the cannon!" Song Yang pointed at the cannon and shouted.
Wang Jinshi hurriedly led his disciples to inspect New Cannon No. 2 by themselves.
"Return to your lord, the sound of the cannon is intact!"
This means that New Cannon No. 2 is basically a success.
After that, the test of New Cannon No. 2 continued.
The reloading speed of this gun is obviously not as good as the Fran machine gun.
If you can get two rounds in a minute, that's pretty good.
Even after you become proficient, you can still fire three rounds.
But needless to say in terms of power, it is more than twice as powerful as the New Cannon No. 1.
The third shell actually hit a distance of 2,200 meters.
It's such a long distance that it's hard to see clearly without a telescope.
If there were a hundred doors...
Even if you have an army of millions, you can't stop the power of cannons!
The gun test was a complete success.
Song Yang looked at everyone with satisfaction and asked: "Everyone, please give me your opinion, what should I call it?"
Gao Liangping suggested: "This continuous cannon might as well be called a serial cannon, and this one here is called a divine cannon!"
"It's not powerful enough. In my opinion, this can be called the Shenwei Continuous Cannon, and this one is called the Xianwang Sky Cannon!" Yu Ming stood up and said.
By the way, I also praised Song Yang.
Song Yang curled his lips and rolled his eyes at him angrily.
What the hell is the name of the Xian Wang Zhentian Cannon...
Everyone talked about a lot of names, and finally Song Yang became even more confused.
In order to come up with a name, you talked to me and made it look like a vegetable market.
Song Yang was confused by what he heard and yelled loudly:
"Forget it, forget it! Stop arguing!"
"Let's just call this the 1001 Firing Cannon! Let's call this the 2001 Cannon!"
In the end, Song Yang decided decisively on the names of these two artillery pieces.
It also stipulated that the future names should be based on this rule, 10 is the continuous gun, and 20 is the cannon.
The next generation continuous fire cannon is called the 1002 continuous fire cannon, which is of course the 2002 cannon. The analogy is simple and easy to understand.
Listening to such a non-deterrent name, everyone could only sigh at Song Yang's whimsical ideas.
As for my proposal...
Forget it, it’s true that the argument makes my head hurt. Call me whatever you like, as long as you can hit someone!
