Zhang Hao, on the other hand, wore a faint, somewhat arrogant smile. The attack out of sight was not just a simple sentence, it represented a new era, a brand new era of war.
In the past, wars were all within sight wars; that is to say, attacks would only be launched after the target was seen.
Although there are some curses and the like in the world of cultivation, the number is too small and can only be regarded as an addition. These can only be regarded as means, not attacks.
Only after artillery did the term "cross-fire" come into being, and only attacks outside of line of sight came into being.
The reason why artillery can be used as a symbol of the new era is not the artillery itself, but the power of artillery. It is the power of artillery that opens a new era.
The artillery roared again.
This time, the artillery shells were loaded first, and then the artilleryman skillfully controlled the artillery. Compared with the elevation angle of about 40 degrees just now, this time it was directly adjusted to 55 degrees.
Dugu Junjie shouted: "No. 1, 55-degree elevation angle, ready to release!"
This time it was not a salvo, but a test fire. The No. 1 gun was fired, and about thirty seconds later, the shell actually landed on the top of the mountain.
Thirty seconds later, the shell exploded behind the mountain. This was a perfect, out-of-sight attack, and it was also a long-range attack.
But Dugu Junjie was not satisfied. He shouted again: "No. 3 gun, 57-degree elevation, ready, fire!"
More than thirty seconds later, the shell extended further forward again. Everyone could no longer see the smoke of the explosion because it was blocked by the mountain. However, there were rocks rolling down in front of the mountain. It could be seen that the explosion behind the mountain was very strong.
Dugu Junjie continued to shout: "No. 4 gun, 60-degree elevation, ready, fire!"
This time the shell failed to cross the hilltop, but exploded on the hillside.
Dugu Junjie continued to shout: "No. 5 gun, 58-degree elevation, ready, fire!"
More than thirty seconds later, the explosion occurred behind the mountain. Dugu Junjie immediately sent people to observe. The soldiers quickly returned and determined that the fifth and third attacks were about the same distance and were the farthest.
Dugu Junjie immediately ordered: "Everything is available, 57-degree elevation angle, ready to... release!"
The five artillery pieces roared at the same time again. Thirty seconds later, smoke and dust erupted from behind the mountain. The rocks in front of the mountain collapsed, landslides occurred, and the entire mountain peak was shaking.
Dugu Junjie did not stop, but ordered again: "Adjust to 65 degrees and launch."
Five artillery shells exploded at the foot of the mountain, and the tragic explosion scene appeared in front of everyone again.
"68 degrees, launch!"
"70 degrees, launch!"
"Very good. Adjust it to 40 degrees, shoot five times in a row, and increase it by one degree each time!"
There were 25 cannonballs left, and five consecutive shots were fired to empty all the cannonballs. However, the scene caused shocked everyone.
The five waves of artillery attacks were like waves, extending layer by layer; the ground was like tofu, being lifted layer by layer, and the rolling gravel and soil formed waves, covering the hills. When the last attack came, the poor man
The hill unexpectedly... collapsed suddenly!
Looking at the hills slowly collapsing like building blocks, everyone's eyes gradually widened, filled with disbelief. To collapse a mountain, a master at the peak of Nascent Soul can barely do it if he puts all his strength and is half dead from exhaustion.
Yes.
Of course, the Nascent Soul stage would not be so stupid as to attack the mountain. But this is enough to show the power of artillery.
Load the shells, adjust the angle, and in a few refining periods you can dominate a war.
Especially the last five volleys, the carpet-like advance was shocking.
Imagine that there was a legion in front of it, but it has been scrapped now. Even if there is still a remnant, it has little fighting power, and there is not even much confidence.
After being shocked, everyone was flooded with questions.
Zhang Hao answered one by one:
"The Zhang family is fully engaged in production. It is estimated that in ten days, we will have 20 artillery pieces and 2,000 artillery shells. It will be enough to support a small to medium-sized war."
"The cost of artillery is relatively expensive, and the entire body is forged from high-grade steel. The price of each artillery is 500,000 high-grade spiritual stones. Each cannon shell is worth one thousand high-grade spiritual stones.
It is inconvenient to tell you the cost price of the Zhang family, because what we sell is technology and raw materials, which is not equal to the price of finished products."
"Artillery and explosives technology are unique to the Zhang family. Although gunpowder technology originally originated from Xinglintang, Xinglintang has only completed one-third of the vague research, and we have bought out all the research materials.
The more important two-thirds of the research was completed at the Zhang family.
The Zhang family's previous shares in Dayang Group include: the first three generations of black iron smelting technology, the first three generations of machine tool technology, the first three generations of steam turbine technology, the first generation of steel technology, the first generation of shipbuilding technology, etc. The words are clearly written in black and white.
This does not include gunpowder and artillery.
Therefore, if the Ocean Group's army wants to use artillery, it needs to purchase additional artillery. However, credit is allowed.
The purchase fee is divided equally among each stock according to the stock. The more stocks you hold, the greater the amortization.
But don’t worry, we have such a powerful weapon, we can reach the home base of the Kingdom of Jinyang and rob their palace. By then, all the costs will be back! We can even make a lot more."
"What? There is no benefit in war? No, no, no, of course there is benefit in war. Otherwise, why would the Kingdom of Jinyang invade us?
But the characteristic of war is: victory takes all! Therefore, we must win."
"Dugu Junjie will not use artillery in this military exercise. Because the artillery technology temporarily belongs to the Zhang family, and Dugu Junjie is competing for the commander-in-chief of Dayang Group.
Today's artillery is just for demonstration and to inform everyone that we will use it in the future."
Faced with countless questions, Zhang Hao answered them one by one clearly and clearly.
In fact, when the agreement was signed and the Zhang family joined the Dayang Group, Zhang Hao had thought of this step: The people who joined the Dayang Group at that time were all the technologies that the Zhang family had at that time, but they did not include researchers such as Huang Mingshan, let alone
Including future technologies.
Everyone gradually calmed down from their initial anger. Zhang Hao said...There's nothing wrong!
Finally, Zhang Hao added: "Because the artillery uses a large amount of first-generation steel and other technologies, the actual price of the artillery purchased by Dayang Group will only be 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones; the shells will only cost 200 high-grade spiritual stones. And based on the share calculation, the Zhang family still needs
Bear 60.52% of the costs.
It is very cost-effective for everyone. As long as you spend a small price, you can get powerful weapon support!"
Everyone thought for a while, hey, that's the truth. Zhou Jue immediately said: "First, purchase 500 artillery pieces for our future legion. We will give them on credit temporarily."
