Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 90

"What are you doing?" Alice asked listlessly looking at Tang Mo who had been sitting there motionless for more than an hour, fiddling with strange parts in his hand.

"If you insist on giving it a name... you can call it... the fuse." Tang Mo said intently without taking his eyes off the parts in his hand.

"Fuse? What is that?" Alice had never heard of this word before, and continued to ask with a full face of doubt.

"Maybe it's a switch for some kind of super weapon in the future." Tang Mo smiled and carefully hung a part that Matthews had made for him through a spring on a device.

What he is working on now is a touch fuze, which is the most important device on the cannonball. Only with it can a cannonball detonate when it needs to explode most.

In fact, after Tang Mo finished developing Thunder Mercury, he started to develop this kind of thing.But obviously, this thing is too precise, and Tang Mo's factory can't mass-produce it yet.

Matthews and several senior technicians helped to make some parts, and then Tang Mo made one every day by himself, barely making dozens of possible shell fuzes that could be used.

This is the cost of Tang Mo's eagerness to start trying to produce artillery. He is really capable of making new cannons, so he hastily smelted half of the naval guns on armed merchant ships, and used the steel to manufacture his own artillery.

Tang Mo also knew that he couldn't eat a fat man in one bite, so the artillery he wanted to make was actually not too advanced.

The blueprint he drew is the famous Krupp first-generation rear-loading artillery, which is the C64 type recoil gun.

The recoil gun does have many shortcomings, and it is also an early type of artillery that is not advanced.However, this artillery has the advantages of relatively simple structure and relatively light weight.

Of course, for Tang Mo, this artillery has another advantage that cannot be ignored: low technical difficulty and relatively easy to manufacture!
This type of artillery adopts a rear-loading form, which is much more advanced than the front-loading Cyric artillery that is widely used today.

Its main feature is the trapezoidal cross-wedge breech breech. The screw drives the trapezoidal cross-wedge structurally. When the breech moves backward, the thickness of the breech breech becomes smaller for easy extraction. When it moves forward, the thickness of the breech breech increases to achieve airtightness.

Somewhat different from modern artillery, this kind of breech block is pulled out from the side of the gun body, which looks very weird.

The advantages of using post-loading are very obvious in terms of rate of fire and airtightness, so Tang Mo's new artillery is far ahead of the times in terms of range, shooting accuracy, and loading speed.

According to the paper technical parameters of the Krupp artillery, the caliber of the C64 field rack retreating gun is only 80mm, and the caliber except for the rifling is only 78mm, which is not too large.

However, the effective range of this artillery has reached 3500 meters!This can be said to be very amazing.You must know that Cyric's artillery is not air-tight because it is a front-loading gun. To achieve a similar range, the caliber and charge must be much larger.

What's more, Tang Mo's new artillery also uses a brand-new shell structure, using explosive grenades in the true sense, which is completely reborn in terms of power.

In order to compete with Tang Mo's new artillery in terms of range and power, the similar Cyric front-mounted artillery must weigh at least two tons. This level of artillery has extremely poor maneuverability and can hardly keep up with the march of troops. speed.

Such artillery is often a fixed artillery equipped in a castle fortress, similar to a fortress gun.The field artillery that follows the infantry cannot reach the performance of the C64 artillery anyway.

Another reason why Tang Mo chose this artillery was that he valued the mobility of this field artillery.

At least, this is the most suitable field artillery in terms of weight and power that he can easily make.

The field weight of the Krupp C64 artillery is 1.1 tons, which is a more suitable weight for transport and dragging by horses.

In addition, this artillery is also equipped with a trolley for loading shells, which can be connected for easy transportation. It can be regarded as a relatively successful design of early artillery.

In a new factory building that has just been built, a brand new steam engine is producing a brand new barrel.Tang Mo was going to produce a batch of new artillery before the war came, to give those arrogant enemies a big surprise.

After reloading the artillery and adding brand new grenades, as long as Tang Mo is given another month, he will definitely be able to form a powerful artillery force and change the course of the war.

Although the theory of only weapons is incorrect, if the weapons are out of date, then the power of the weapons can really crush the bravery of the enemy.

这种被唐陌命名为1型火炮的大炮炮管长度是1930毫米，大概是24倍口径，整根炮管的重量是285公斤。它的高低射角是-6.5度到+20度之间，水平射角为5度。

The high-explosive projectile it fires weighs 4.3 kilograms, and the charge of the projectile is 170 grams.As for the other kind of shrapnel, Tang Mo had no intention of making it at all, because he was almost exhausted just making grenades.

The muzzle velocity of the cannon’s ammunition is 357m/s, which is absolutely satisfactory based on the data. Because of the manufacturing accuracy, Tang Mo estimates that the maximum range of this cannon is about 3300 meters, which is not up to Krupp’s nominal maximum range of 3500 meters. range.Even so, this is a terrifying value of more than three kilometers.

Tang Mo estimated that on the premise of ensuring the production quantity of K1 quick gun and revolver, he could produce 6 C64 retreating field guns a month.

These guns allowed him to form an artillery battery that could effectively support his new battalion in combat.With these cannons and the K1 quick-gun revolver, the fighting power of his new barracks can beat three times as many opponents violently without any problem.

"What kind of mess are you doing again... just forget it if you don't want to tell me." Alice said with a bit of resentment, asking for trouble.

"It happened that these messy things saved your most beloved Beiling." Tang Mo still didn't show any intention of accommodating the beauty, he put aside a fuze that had been assembled, and shook his sore fingers.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Alice: "By the way, you have lived here for 5 days, why don't you go back to Northridge?"

John and his remaining 4 boats have left Burnas for 2 days, and when they left, they were so sad that they burst into tears.

If you don't know the relationship between him and Tang Mo, you will really think that the two of them are best friends who have shared weal and woe for many years.

Before leaving, John also assured Tang Mo that in four months at the latest, he would return to Bunas with more gold coins to settle the debt between them.

Of course, what really made John cry was the contents of these four armed merchant ships: parts of two steam engines, an assembled steam engine for mines, 100 K1 quick guns, 200 spinners Round pistols and the ammunition they use.

In addition, there are the most valuable, the design drawings of the steam engine and related machine tools, the design drawings and material parameters of the K1 fast gun and the revolver, and a family of three with full authority technical representatives sent by the Datang Group.

What he took away was his hope of getting promoted and making a fortune, and also his hope of revitalizing the Poplar Kingdom!And the 11 armed merchant ships he left behind, more than 400 elven slave sailors, and all the income from this sea trade are Tang Mo's hope...

"What? You don't welcome me like that?" Alice had gotten used to Tang Mo, a straight man of steel, in the past two days, so she wasn't so angry.On the contrary, she took advantage of a woman's natural advantages, turned the defense into an offense and pretended to be silly and cute, which made Tang Mo a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that Tang Mo made up his mind not to speak, she continued, "Actually, I'm going back soon. The 20 steam engines you promised me have already shipped 15 of them. I have already written to my lord father to tell He and I will return to Northridge with the last shipment."

"Are you leaving?" Hearing that this haunting and beautiful girl was going back to North Ridge, Tang Mo suddenly had a sense of joy of being released after serving her sentence.

"It sounds like you're happy." His joy was so obvious that when he finished, Alice picked out some overtones in his words that annoyed her.

Tang Mo quickly put on a dejected look: "No, how is it possible, I'm very sorry, I will be very depressed if I can't see a beautiful girl like you again."

"Your acting skills are really clumsy!" Alice complained in dissatisfaction.

"I didn't act." Tang Mo argued.

Alice gave evidence bitterly: "The corner of your mouth is about to split to the earlobe!"

"How is it possible, I'm not a snake." Tang Mo didn't accept this at all, and continued to retort.

"You're still laughing!" Alice pretended to get angry.

Tang Mo continued to refuse to admit it. This was one of his tricks against Alice: "No, it's just because I remembered a funny thing."

"Don't be too happy!" Alice showed a smirk.

"Why?" Tang Mo was taken aback, instinctively feeling the danger.

Sure enough, Alice suddenly said proudly: "Because I lied to you! I didn't write to my father! I want to stay here and see what kind of mess you are doing."

Tang Mo patted his face with his hands and covered his eyes - he knew that the most difficult thing in the world was not the F22 Raptor fighter biting the back of his fighter plane, but a woman.

Before time travel, he had many women, all kinds of beautiful, coquettish, sexy and wild.But there was only one woman who left him with a scar that could not heal for a long time.

Every time Tang Mo thought of that woman, he would be in a trance for a moment.There are not many good women in this world, and even fewer women are willing to die for a man... Unfortunately, Tang Mo met one and lost her.

Just when Alice reminded Tang Mo of the vague figure of the woman who would never be seen again, a fast horse galloped through the streets of Bunas town.
