Chapter 357 Unfinished Products

When the second fire started, Aegasa blocked her ears in advance.

Then she saw an incredible scene.

Without the expected long accumulation work, the seemingly huge metal long tube showed a completely inconsistent lightness. Every time it was shot, it seemed to shake the earth, but the base did not move at all, as if the two had nothing to do with each other.

The long tube retreats and resets each time quickly and accurately. This process does not even require artificial control. Only three of the four operators are busy. The commander known as the Iron Axe is just standing aside to give orders.

Retreat the metal stop, slide down the copper shell, stuff new crossbow arrows, and fire again... In this cycle, Agesha could feel this earth-shaking thunder wrath almost every ten breaths, and the close-range flat shooting also allowed her to witness the snow pillars and the dirt prince rising one after another two miles away without lying. This weapon did launch the crossbow arrows, and the speed was so fast that it could not be captured with the naked eye.

Judging from the time from the fire to the rise of the snow pillar, even above the extraordinary, it is absolutely impossible to avoid its attack!

Aegas looked at the silver-white long-tube weapon and couldn't help but become a little confused.

If...if Taqira could have such a powerful weapon at that time, he might have been able to block all the terrible devils under the city wall, thereby avoiding the wall being destroyed and falling into the quagmire of attrition, the war would probably not have become so bad.

Is this a weapon made by a witch?After a while, she swallowed and asked in a low voice.

Judging from its shiny appearance, this is definitely something that ordinary people can knock with their hands and hammers.

But the prince's answer surprised her.

The masterpiece shared by the witch and the mortals, he laughed and said that the fortress cannons were arranged by the witches from smelting to casting, and the shells used for firing were the credit of the alchemist.By the way, except for Anna, the witches involved in the creation are all your so-called auxiliary witches.

Aegas suddenly felt a crack in the concept that had been formed for a long time.

She thought she was tolerant enough to treat mortals, and she was even excluded from the Exploration Society because of this.

But now it seems that I am not doing enough?

Is the Federation wrong from beginning to end?Is the prince right?... Mortals can defeat the devil.

But if the cooperation between witches and mortals could erupt such a powerful force, why did the first battle of divine will still end in a crushing defeat?

Questions kept popping up in her mind, and Agesha felt extremely confused.

……

Tilly also felt a strong shock when the fortress cannons squirted out flames continuously.

Although she had witnessed the scene of artillery bombarding evil beasts on the city wall, the shortcomings of those firearms were obviously difficult to hit from a distance, and they could not attack downward when they got close. Only in the middle distance could they exert their best power.

However, the loading speed is slow. When dealing with agile mixed evil beasts, it is likely that the enemy has already rushed to the foot of the city wall before it can be ignited.

In addition, in order to quickly charge and fire, a gun team requires five to ten people to operate. As long as there is a problem in one link, it will affect the operation of the weapon.

Moreover, someone needs to take special care of the fire source when ignition. When heavy rain comes, field artillery may not be able to play any role.

But the newly developed fortress cannon by Roland is completely gone.

The charge from the rear can make the muzzle lower than the tail of the gun, greatly increase the close range of shooting, and the firing rate has increased several times, while the personnel have been reduced to three people.

At the same time, there is no need for open flames to induce combat, which means that it can fight even in bad weather. With the attack range far superior to the catapult, it is completely worthy of the term "epoch-making weapon" mentioned by Roland.

Although it currently requires the ability of a witch to make it, Tilly believes that this is only a temporary situation. Silvey's observation can prove that the continuous weapons that were once equipped by only the chief knight have been distributed to every soldier. Anna only needs to make a batch of equipment that specializes in producing the weapon, and the specific casting and assembly can be done by the workers themselves.

When you see the expressions of Ashes and Andrea, you will know that the fortress cannon is also an unimaginable thing for them.

It is really a good thing to have such an ally, but the feeling of being an older brother has become even more distant.

She even felt that the other party was already walking far ahead of her.

This feeling made Tilly feel a little disappointed.

It would be great if he could be more honest.

……

Roland saw the shells that he had finally collected were consumed in the blink of an eye, and his heart was so painful.Even so, he still had to pretend to be unfathomable to hide his reluctance.

This is not a real test fire of the new artillery.

In order to achieve the demonstration effect of flowing clouds and flowing water, he asked Iron Axe to transfer a team of elite artillery from the artillery battalion and started simulated shooting exercises a few days in advance. During this period, he also fired two live ammunitions.

This time it is just a display of power specifically for witches to watch.

The shooting process was very smooth, and the result was also ideal. At least from Agesha's shocked expression, it can be seen that the cannon's performance exceeded her imagination.

However, for Roland, the actual shooting effect of this fortress cannon is far from being qualified.

Except for the sacred caliber of 152 mm, the rest of it is far from the 152 in reality.

With Anna's precision processing ability, combined with Lucia's elemental purification, and finally Sylvie supplemented with the metal flaw detection link, theoretically he can create a truly modern mature artillery, rather than a imitation with a range of only seven or eight kilometers.

The key is the details.

At present, its medicine room is too small.

Considering the weight of the fixed loading, Roland deliberately reduced the volume of the medicine room, resulting in insufficient loading of the shells.Although it has a slender tube of forty times the diameter, the range is still not ideal.

Another point is to launch the drug.

Since nitrified*glycerol is still being tested, all the shells are loaded with nitrified cotton, which is also why Roland feels distressed that the nitroscopic cotton consumed by several shells is enough to fill thousands of bullets.

In addition, these smokeless emitters have not been gelled, which is equivalent to further reducing the charge.

In the end, the shell itself is still an amplified version of the bullet. The warhead has no charge and its lethality depends entirely on kinetic energy. Missing the target means zero damage. At this stage, it can only be used to attack some slow-moving enemies.

In short, there is still a long way to go to achieve the scene of barrage coverage and artillery cleaning.

However, Roland felt that time might not be as abundant as he had originally expected.

Since he learned that the transformation of the magic stone actually originated from the devil, the warning voice in his heart has become stronger and stronger.

If the devil also had his own technology, would the technology level also improve rapidly in a certain period?
