Chapter 668: Monster Cannon

In this huge king continent, not only the sun never sets invented gunpowder, in fact, as a natural forging craftsman, the dwarven clan has already drummed out the black powder hundreds of years ago, and in a short period of time, black powder began to be widely used by the dwarf clan, and now, there are even many powerful people who have acquired some of the powerful and terrifying weapons at a sky-high price after learning that the dwarf clan has this powerful and terrifying weapon, and they have bought some of them at a sky-high price to take this thing back to develop.

Of course, the ending is the same as the current situation in the King Continent, obviously the research of gunpowder has failed: it is no wonder that since the collapse of the human alliance, the various nations and nations are no longer considered to cooperate as before, after all, this era has gradually become the era of human beings, although those alien forces are still in a corner of peace, but in addition to the Celestial Dragon Empire, which power can be as ambitious as humans? As early as in the previous massacre of the Human Alliance, most of these alien races had already developed the idea of "squatting at home" and only wanting to guard their own one-third of an acre.

And when the human race collapsed at the end of the human alliance, it has completely liberated the greed in the depths of the human heart, in this case, people no longer believe in the so-called allies, only those who can bring benefits to themselves, in this case, not to mention the cooperation of scholars from all countries, it is estimated that even a scholar within the power will never choose to work together because of the different schools, so I want mankind to study black powder, Unless there is a great scientific genius in the human race, there is only one thing to say......... Obviously, the so-called genius of human science is a matter of imagination because of the continuous civil war in the King Continent for hundreds of years.

As for the dwarven race, although this race did not study the cross-era product of gunpowder like a certain big country in the original world, it used this thing to study fireworks. However, the dwarf clan is no better than the big country in the original world: the reason why the dwarves developed black powder is to be able to break through the solid rock layers in the mine faster and more effectively, so in the eyes of the dwarves, the power of black powder is enough, and in this case, there is no need to continue to study this very likely temptation to seize his name, and he is not the goblin clan, the group of madmen who want to research the alchemy potion that can blow up the entire king continent every day, The dwarves are a peace-loving race.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Lin's view on the gunpowder technique of the King Continent has always stayed at the level of "there is a black powder technique on the King Continent, but there is no artillery technique". But Sun Lin warned himself a long time ago that habitual thinking was likely to kill him. And obviously, this inertial thinking almost collapsed the Maginot Line again: the Great Empire of Divine Light is also a human nation with many alien races, and among so many alien races is a dwarven race. Due to the greedy factor of human nature, the Great Empire of Divine Light after obtaining this dwarven tribe. At the same time as he handed over the recipe for black powder, he also began to look like the sun never sets on the empire. If you use black powder to create a powerful siege weapon (by the way. The Divine Light Empire was the first human force to use black powder for military operations), and eventually created an extremely terrifying black powder weapon under generations of slaves - the giant siege cannon, also known as the monster cannon.

"This—this is the Urban Cannon!" The sketchy pattern drawn on the king's information, plus the introduction next to the pattern, instantly appeared in Sun Lin's mind the urban cannon that blasted open the capital of the Byzantine Empire - Constantinople, of course, the black and thick pipe in Sun Lin's mind was definitely not the one that exploded. But that's pretty much it.

"If you estimate the cannon in front of you according to the artillery of later artillery, then this cannon can reach at least 81 or even 85 pounds, which is stronger than the 64-pound cannon produced by the Ottoman Empire. If you carefully observe the information of this giant cannon, all the guys who watch the information of this giant cannon will find speechlessly that in addition to the power and weight of this cannon, it can directly scare people to death, and the rest can directly laugh to death.

First of all, the huge barrel is destined to use huge cannonballs, and obviously the iron cannonballs used in this giant cannon called the "Staff of Purification" by the Divine Light Empire are destined not to be reloaded by a few people, in this case, the giant cannon of the Holy Light Empire must rely on a device that is larger than the giant cannon in the process of loading ammunition to complete the loading, and by the way, let the giant cannon be fired at a good angle, in this case, It would take at least one day to assemble the base and ammunition reloader used for the cannon.

Secondly, as we all know, the early artillery is not good in terms of protection, so the general artillery must be cleaned once after firing a shell, otherwise it is very likely that there will be a danger of exploding, so the giant artillery of the Holy Light Empire must be loaded for at least more than 1 hour before firing the second shell.

The last is also a common problem of all early artillery - accuracy problems, but obviously the problem of essence and poison of giant artillery is not ordinary serious, but very serious! Although the accuracy of this giant cannon is only a cursory data as indicated in this information, this data has already reflected the results of how poor the accuracy of this giant cannon is that Sun Lin wants to know: according to the test data of the dwarven craftsmen of the Holy Light Empire, when this cannon fired 10 giant shells, 3 of them hit an area 25 meters above the target when they flew to the target, and the other 3 hit an area 40 meters to the left of the target. Then three more shells hit an area 55 meters to the right of the target, and the last shell smashed the floor 70 meters before the target, and then the giant shell jumped forward on the ground a few times before rolling to the ground below the target.

"But the power of this kind of cannon is really not to be underestimated......... "Although the cannon has all kinds of defects, but after all, it is still covered by a cannon, if the enemy's character is really good on the day of the battle, let this terrifying cannon hit the wall of the Maginot Line once, then the wall of the Lower Maginot Line will be directly opened by it A gap. Thinking of this, Sun Lin immediately asked the 3rd princess of the Angel Clan, who had hurried over and was now in front of her desk to be curious about the bottle of porcelain with ice cracks, "Do you know any other information about this thing, such as the number of this secret weapon, where is it now, etc.?" ”

"We can't provide a valid answer to your previous question." Maria, the third princess who had always maintained a cold face, thought for a moment and said: "What we can be sure of now is that this kind of thing was actually developed decades ago, but due to performance problems and frequent explosions, it was only a few years ago that it barely reached the standard of mass production and began to be put into production. At first, the purpose of this weapon was to use manpower to kill the Titan Giants owned by the Griffin Empire, so most of the cannons were installed on the city at the junction of the Holy Light Empire and the Griffin Empire, but it wasn't until the year before last that the commander of the Holy Light Empire sent someone to use this kind of cannon to blast the gate of a city in the Griffin Empire into the air, and the Holy Light Empire began to use this giant war machine in siege warfare. Of course, the ones installed on the city before must not be disassembled, so the giant artillery used by the Holy Light Empire today has been produced in the past 3 years, if it is calculated according to this algorithm, then the number of giant cannons carried by the Holy Light Empire should be less than 10 even if it pours out, and I want to remind you that this thing cannot be checked by ordinary warships at all, so let alone put this kind of thing on the battleship for long-range output, According to this situation, then the only warship that the Holy Light Empire can carry and use this kind of giant cannon is the "Sea-Fixing Battleship".

"I see, I see, thank you for the reminder, Maria."

"Well, then I'll leave first." Just when the 3rd princess stepped on the window and was about to fly out, she suddenly stopped and said to Sun Lin: "By the way, our angel clan's Cloud City has already left a part of the floating islands as an illusion in the sky above the Holy Light City, but my father Odin still has some nostalgia for those floating islands, my father hopes that if the sun does not set, if the party has the ability, can these floating islands be taken back in the near future?" Although we are unable to provide support for the troops, the Floating Boat (a woodcut ship that can float at a height of kilometers using the principles of floating stones, windmills, and gliders) is similar to the effect of the Goblin Clan's airships: it provides excellent reconnaissance vision, and it is difficult to detect when hiding in the clouds when it is forbidden to move, but if it is discovered, it is usually possible for a good air cavalry player to have a Goblin Kick or Floating Ship. We can supply 20 boats. ”

"We will consider this point, but it is unlikely, after all, a big war is coming, and we need troops in all aspects of the great empire." Sun Lin frowned and said, "However, I promise that if there are surplus troops, we will try our best to fulfill your angel clan's request." ”

"Xie Lu Xie, then I'll go first." As soon as the words fell, only a few slowly falling feathers remained on the windowsill. (To be continued......)
