Chapter 311: Salian's Surprise (2)
Because the contents of these drawings were too unbelievable and completely beyond the cognition brought by Joe's knowledge reserves, his voice was a little louder when he exclaimed to himself.
The door of the vault, with a thin slit, could not isolate his exclamations.
Salian listened to it itching outside, especially what 'cannons', 'howitzers'...... Especially what 'rifling' and 'afterloading'...... What's more, what is a super-large new steel mill?
As Salian said, he entered the Imperial Army at the age of thirteen, starting from the lowest level of inferior soldiers, and has been in the army for more than 20 years.
He is sensitive to weapons.
He was full of resentment towards the thermal weapons that were in use on the Metland continent, even the latest flintlock rifles.
As one of the most core members of the royal family of the Delenian Empire, Salian knows some 'historical facts' that ordinary people simply cannot know - before the Medland Glory Calendar, there was an even more glorious era of civilization on the continent of Metland.
Including those huge puppets, those combat airships, and even the steam engines that are now common in Medland...... In fact, they are all relics of the ancient civilization era.
The current level of military industry on the continent of Metland is far inferior to the legendary ancient civilization.
So Joe shouted in the vault, Salian's ears fluttered, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated several times, he stomped his foot hard, leaving a footprint a foot deep on the hard ground, and turned around and ripped the safety door off the door frame.
Throwing the heavy door of the vault out, Salian swooped into the vault, and then he saw the ...... in front of Joe, which was more than ten feet long, three feet wide, and six feet high A thick pile of drawings.
"Let go of your claws!" Salian yelled.
The terrifying strength of the transcendent sixth order erupted, and an invisible pressure crushed Qiao's body, and Qiao was wrapped in the invisible huge force, and he strode backwards involuntarily. He slammed into the wall of the vault welded by alloy plates, and involuntarily spread out in a 'big' shape.
The tsunami-like latent energy rolled in, and Joe's eyes widened and he gasped hard, and his eyeballs almost popped out of his sockets.
"Look at your clumsy appearance...... Salian glared at Joe fiercely, and as soon as the terrible pressure emanating from his body was relented, Joe muttered and grumbled, and broke away from the wall in embarrassment, gasping for air.
Horrible, horrible, Joe cursed loudly in his heart.
He is worthy of being a member of the imperial family, a member of the true inner circle of power in the empire...... Salian's strength was far more terrifying than those sixth-order transcendents that Joe had encountered before.
Even Marcos......
Joe touched the pocket on his chest, and then looked at the vault that had not been left with a single gold mark, and he gave up the idea of peeking into Salian's true strength.
Salian is so powerful, the price is certainly not cheap!
Anyway, it's okay to know that this guy is strong, ridiculously strong...... Joe wasn't prepared to be an enemy of Salian, so why did he know so well? Especially, to spend such a large sum of money!
The pile of drawings was six feet high, and Salian was about seven feet tall, and the guy waved and whistled with his backhand, and two Hydra guards broke in, one on one knee on the left and one on the right.
Salian stood unkindly on the knees of the two Hydra guards, gently stroking the top drawing with both hands, and then carefully read the large-scale industrial preparation of 'nitrate-glycerin-oil'......
"Nitric-Sweet-Oil...... "Salian muttered in a low voice, "The lethality is compared to today's grains-gun-potions...... Oh, oh, a smaller caliber, which can provide a larger, several, dozens of times more damage...... Awesome! ”
"Ah, mixed with diatomaceous earth...... Well, on the edge of the Everglades, there is an endless supply of diatomaceous earth...... How can this kind of waste have such military value? Oh, the Everglades must be blocked, and from today onwards, diatomaceous earth is on the list of military controls...... Private mining is strictly prohibited, and violators are considered treason. ”
"Nitrification-Cotton...... Smokeless propellants? Smokeless? ”
"Without the goddamn smoke, the fighters' hit rate would at least double...... Especially ......"
Salian's eyes widened, his body trembling slightly, and he looked at the drawings below in disbelief.
"Copper-shelled fixed-loading bullets? Magazine? Magazines? Canvas elastic belts? Metal cartridge belts? ”
"Five-shot outfit...... 10-round ...... Thirty-round outfit ...... 200 rounds...... Two hundred rounds are fixed, and then metal cartridges are linked to each other, a thousand rounds? Two thousand rounds? Oh...... Endless firepower? ”
"Generals, what is the average rate of fire of the soldiers with flintlock rifles now?" Cold sweat oozed from Salion's forehead, and he didn't look back to ask the two army generals who were standing beside him, probing their brains with their feet.
"The elite of the Guards, the speed of reloading, about twenty seconds...... Two rounds per minute, which is the most ideal reload firing speed. ”
"Ordinary field regiments, an average of thirty seconds to a minute."
"The local garrison army, as well as the militia ranks, more than one and a half cents."
An admiral quickly reported what he had in his possession of the average reload rate of the Imperial army of Deren. The soldiers of the Deren Imperial Army are much stronger than other countries in terms of technical and tactical level, so this is almost the highest level of the countries on the Metland continent.
"Well, six-hair-left-wheel...... Fixed-mounted copper-shelled bullets, fired six times in a row at a time...... Ordinary soldiers use this loader, and it only takes about five or six seconds to reload! ”
"An ordinary soldier with this firearm can fire twelve rounds in twenty seconds, even if he reloads once...... Attack efficiency is twelve times higher than that of the elite soldiers of the Guards Legion! ”
Salian tugged hard at his collar, and the two buttons on his collar burst open, landing on the ground with a 'clatter' sound.
He licked his lips vigorously and whispered, "Also, it's even more terrifying than this kind of revolver...... This new rifle ...... Use a magazine or magazine...... Five shots, ten shots......"
"This new assault rifle with a thirty-round magazine...... Oh, I can imagine the enemy falling like wheat under a sickle in front of the valiant soldiers of the Imperial Army! ”
"The most popular front in various countries now is that soldiers are armed with flintlock rifles and line up in a long line to shoot face to face......"
"This kind of ...... that uses cartridge belts Hand-cranked six-barreled heavy cannon......"
Salian's body shook slightly, and his gaze took on a layer of confusion: "Give me a ball...... I can take out a ...... from any country on Metland's continent No, two divisions! ”
"If they're stupid enough not to run away, I can kill them all!"
"And, of course, these ...... Generals, what is the firing range of the main field artillery of our Imperial Army now? ”
The admiral, who had just spoken, also had a large amount of sweat oozing from his forehead, and his body staggered as he looked at the designs of several new guns recorded on the drawings in front of him, and he, like Salian, fell into a certain state of delirium.
"Temple...... Your Highness...... Dear Highness...... Great Highness...... Our current main field gun, a hundred millicalibers, has a risky large-yield charge, and the ultimate firing range can be increased to about three and a half miles (metric: 5632M)......"
"Of course, with the extreme loading of propellants, we can only fire solid shells...... Flowering shells cannot withstand the force of the maximum reloading projectile, and the projectile will explode in the chamber. ”
Salian opened his mouth and gasped slightly: "If, what is written on this...... Authenticity...... We can use steel to make new artillery shells that weigh the same weight as the existing 100 millimeters bronze field guns, with calibers of 150 millimeters, 200 millimeters, and 230 millimeters, and fire new shells with explosive power dozens of times that of existing flowering shells......"
"However, the range of new artillery can reach twelve miles, or even fifteen miles!"
Salian clenched his hands into fists with his hands behind his back, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "If this kind of artillery, it is indeed so powerful!" ”
The two admirals stared intently at the drawings.
Such detailed drawings are detailed to the data of every bearing, every screw, and every rifling.
The drawings on this drawing are so exquisite, so clean, so smooth...... There's even a wonderful sense of art!
From the instinct of an old soldier, they already have eight or nine points of belief that the record on this drawing is indeed true!
"If the new artillery on this is real...... Your Highness, Great Highness, we can smash the capital of any empire and kingdom of Metland for you, and crush their armies to smithereens! ”
"There is not a single battle fort that can hold out under such artillery...... One day? No, three hours...... All the existing battle forts, under such new artillery, are outdated...... Highness, they ...... Outdated, outdated! ”
Salian lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "If, put these guns on the warship!" ”
The two army admirals raised their heads at the same time, and they shouted in unison: "Then let the fleets of the Saint Sia Kingdom and the Ice Sea Kingdom feed the fish...... They're screwed! ”
Salian flipped through the thick drawings as quickly as he could.
The drawings are about six feet thick, but each one is extremely thin enough to be described as thin as a cicada's wings.
Sarian had flipped through the drawings for a half-time, his face had turned bloody, and he was already thrilled.
However, when he saw the drawing below, he shook so violently that he nearly fell off the knees of the two Hydra guards.
"Is this a hallucination?"
Salian hissed, "Tell me, it's not a hallucination!" ”
"Bastard, how can there be such a thing in the world? This is, this is ......"
"Steam turbines for large warships? This is...... How big a warship does it take to have such a huge power? ”
"This, this, this ......"
Salian flipped through the drawings quickly, and then he faced the title of the next drawing, and his whole body froze there.
"Full map of the design of the 30,000-ton all-metal post-dreadnought-class battleship......"
Salian gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Conrad, my brother...... Your Navy ...... It's time to retire! ”
