A violent explosion sounded from above. When the explosion subsided, Bolu, who was squatting in a hole dozens of meters away, stretched out his head and took a look. He sighed. This breath seemed to carry some strange energy, which made him
The few assistants around him also showed gloomy eyes.
"The chamber exploded again. Is there something wrong with this idea? If you put the grain in the warhead, it won't be able to withstand the noise during launch, which is very uncomfortable. It doesn't matter if the small caliber direct fire is all kinetic energy bombs, it's 100 guns
You can't throw a big stone ball after this, right?"
He walked onto the ground and looked at the experimental gun barrel that exploded like bamboo cracked by fire. He squatted on the ground and thought hard: "What is the problem? The barrel has also been forged and the holes have been bored.
There's no problem with firing solid bullets, or even solid bullets with strong charges, but the chamber explodes as soon as the grenade touches it. Even reducing the charge doesn't work. It can't be a problem with the fuze, right? Then this problem would be too fatal."
Several young apprentices pulled the valve, allowing the steam turbine to drive a small gantry crane, and began to prepare for the replacement of the gun barrel.
A few days ago, Bolu rounded up all the remaining apprentices despite Caroline's protests. It was really inappropriate to arrest people on the spot every time, which would affect the normal work of Geola and Smith, so he asked
They recruited four of the smartest apprentices, and then cooperated with his remaining apprentices to transfer them all into his newly established weapons design institute. For this reason, he also expanded his studio.
As for Caroline, Polu gave her a new task: to gather all the local children under the age of 12 to start a full-time school. Soon more than 100 people were recruited. These ordinary craftsmen
Naturally, her children have never been to school. We are all semi-literate anyway, and there is no need to separate them into grades. We might as well teach them together. This makes her feel happy.
As for those over 12 years old, many have already started to learn crafts in a very formal way with their parents. There is no need to force this part, and it follows the principle of voluntariness.
Since it allows children to learn more, they don’t charge money, and they can even give out some pocket money after taking care of the meals. The machines in the factory are so scary now, and it is safer to control the children who like to run around.
My parents are very supportive.
Soon, these children were arranged to undergo a test: "We want anyone who can see spiritual light and can operate a machine to make crystal plates! We are not looking for a master! Just be able to do basic work!"
The results of the screening were very optimistic. There were actually more than 20 people with a certain degree of magic sensitivity. This number surprised Polu, although as long as they can sense it, it may be difficult for them to break through to formal professions in this life.
, there are only 7 people who can guarantee the basic requirements for entering the formal profession, and only two of them have real potential for development.
But just to become an apprentice, Polu thinks it is still feasible to be a grassroots technician. As for now, let’s get rid of the illiteracy first!
The experimental gun barrel that had already blossomed was removed from the tilted experimental frame. Frequent chamber explosions gave rise to a new technology of gun barrel separation. A thick steel sleeve would press the gun barrel inward against the gun body.
On the connecting surface, a technical reserve for small-caliber rapid-fire guns was inadvertently completed.
"Speaking of which, how did my armor-piercing projectile succeed? Is it because the retardant powder column with a sand content of up to 50% flew out, and it didn't fly fast enough?"
An emergency weapon based on the Type 70 recoilless rifle was successfully made, but it was made with high-quality materials but nothing could be done? What is the reason? Fortunately, when it was enlarged to a large caliber, an unmanned launch experiment was conducted
, otherwise this explosion might even hurt people!
Bolu sighed: "It's too difficult for me."
After encountering a shielded boat on the river a few days ago, the fear of being dominated by the previous large insects has returned to my heart, especially those mammoths that the elf rangers had no way to do. If the density of elf mages hadn't been high enough at that time,
, I still don’t know how to solve it in the end.
Speaking of small-caliber cannons, their damage to shields is relatively average. According to Zhu Yiwei, just ordinary protective arrows can withstand the cannon for one to three seconds. If you continue to increase the power, it will resist the cannon.
It is not an unimaginable thing. If it is used to cover weapons such as missile cannons, it may bring unbearable consequences.
Although the armor-piercing projectile is very effective against shields, its cost is a bit high, and there is currently no special tooling for this thing, so it can only be made by hand. The projectile speed is not fast enough, and the shells fired are quite light.
The shooting range is also very close, and the use process is full of risks.
The two kinds of power worked together, which pushed Polu to decide to simply make a batch of kinetic armor-piercing weapons. Since it was an armor-piercing weapon, of course he chose the smoothbore cannon. Anyway, I can't hit something three kilometers away. If I shoot straight with a smoothbore, I'll shoot straight with a smoothbore. Anyway, I
Just aim straight.
No one has serious optical sights, and no matter how far they shoot, they are just random. As a result, this experiment ran into problems.
Although the barrel produced according to the 73-100 smoothbore gun is very normal, the difficulty of the barrel is too high. After all, if you want to make an L40, you have to have a 4-meter-long barrel and then boring a 100 mm round hole. Finally, you have to have a barrel.
Self-tightening and complex heat treatment.
These problems cannot be solved by building a few cannons, so the experiment naturally failed.
After finally getting the reversing machine and re-entry machine, the first thing to do was to reduce the charge of the empty cannon experiment. After encountering problems such as insufficient perfect circle, non-concentricity, loose upper and lower machines, cylinder explosion of the retractor, and failure to re-entry in place, etc.
After waiting for the painful problems, Polu felt that even if he cut off his last hair, he would not be able to solve these problems for the time being, so he decisively chose to transfer.
Let's save the country by taking a curve and choose the plan of shortening the barrel.
So the final product was only the L25. In order to balance the huge recoil caused by the stubby cartridge equipped to smash the shield, a muzzle brake was simply added.
The so-called long rod bullets with jet steel needles forged by Polu and the super large lead cap steel core bullets with tail fins using the Minnie principle were successful after dozens of experiments and improvements. In addition to having to look for the flying bullets everywhere,
Apart from recycling the toga, it's not bad either.
Although the after-effects of breaking the imitation shield captured from the boat in the experiment were very deceiving, after breaking the shield, before you finish charging it, I will shoot with machine guns and missiles to clear the deck.
The difficulty is actually not high, it is mainly a matter of concept. After all, the needles sprayed out today do not have to deal with dozens, or even hundreds, of armored steel. It is more than enough to build a pure steel tower shield.
Leonardo, who came to watch Polu test-fire, asked him after seeing the new artillery made by Polu: "You put so much effort just to throw a gun like me?"
On the contrary, Bolu was frightened enough: "Is your spear throwing so powerful? It's a bit too much, isn't it?"
Leonardo paused for a rare moment of thought, and gestured with his spear-throwing movements: "No, I can't throw such a powerful spear on the battlefield. I have to go all out and leave no room for it. And there's no need to do this.
Things fly very fast, but you
If you want to use it to hit something, even if it moves at the speed of a high-level knight, you can't aim at it with your current aiming method. Unless you hit a full coverage area in one go, what you can hit depends on fate. No matter how powerful it is,
, it’s meaningless if you can’t hit it.”
"I designed it to break through the self-contained shields on the boats, and by the way, there were also those huge bugs from before."
"That mammoth is so big. It's still a question of how much damage can be done by something the size of a spear..."
"Then what do you want to do? You can't kill it even if you shoot it. If this kind of thing is not left alone, do you want the mage to come over and cast spells? Or let you throw guns crazy? After throwing the gun, what next? Is this thing at least used to consume protection?
Very qualified.”
He said that Polu was a little unhappy.
Leonardo is still very upright.
"If you want to say that it is a shield designed to deal with low-speed targets, then there is no problem. I don't know how to protect myself from this movement when I encounter it. Ordinary protective arrows will definitely not be able to block it. But this thing is fragile.
, really don’t know how to wear them in one pair?”
"Stop talking, I'm having a headache. Special ammunition was originally designed, but the experiments have always failed. If it doesn't work, just hit this big blunt steel block. If the structure of the offensive weapon is fragile, it won't be surprising if it falls apart."
He patted a strange-looking large minion next to him.
The grenade will explode, so I couldn't demonstrate it. The idea is still the same as Blue Star Technology, which is to put the charge directly in the warhead and then install a fuze. But I don't know if it's because the fuze is unreliable or because the crystal can't withstand such a big one.
The impact directly exploded every time, even causing Polu to have a certain psychological shadow.
"What can we do? Do we still have to climb the nitro technology tree in the end?"
