Black Dragon Code

What does the industrial age of the magic world symbolize? The first thing that Caesar thought of was yellowish rusted cast iron cylinders, thick crankshafts and huge iron wheels, rhythmic noise and vibration, sharp whistle cannons that cut through the sky, and more riveted steel.

With regard to the manufacture of large ships, a bottleneck has now been encountered, which needs to be gradually overcome. Caesar also shifted his focus and focused his attention on the development of gunpowder weapons.

Two pits have been dug in the ground inside the arsenal, each of which is round, narrow and wide. These pits are the molds that Caesar intends to use for casting the blanks. The inner walls of the pits have been baked by flames. , The surface soil structure is fired as a whole, as if a shell was attached.

The filling chamber is facing downwards to obtain better tube wall quality during firing, and the more scum and air bubbles are contained upward, the size of all potholes is calculated by shells. Caesar remembers the history of previous lives The so-called six-pound and eight-pound cannons are named after the weight of the shell.

But based on the concept of caliber and even truth, in order to dominate the world, Caesar must still overweight, so he decided to first cast a few twenty-four pound artillery to play, first melt the cast iron ball, and then according to the diameter of the iron ball Cannon tube wall thickness is used to calculate the inner diameter of the mold.

However, in order to promote such a heavy shell, the gunpowder filling must also be expanded accordingly, so the mold that eventually appears should be much larger than Caesar expected.

The molten steel is rising rapidly, and the steel ingots that are nearby are also rapidly decreasing. You can see that Caesar can't help but enjoy the iron and steel production is one of the measures of a country's strength. However, due to the limitation of material technology, many high-quality special steels still cannot be produced, even with supernatural powers. If necessary, they still need to be imported across the ocean.

Making artillery is not complicated and difficult, because this is not the original invention of Caesar's first. Elladia already has a weapon such as a magic cannon. It still dominates all wars in the mainland, and it is easy to get relevant data in the north. The data (for the magic weapon, the core energy structure is the core), with the precise assistance of the caster, it can be easily modified after copying it.

As the dragon monarch, of course, Caesar could hardly stare at the artillery. He only showed his face at the beginning of the casting, and then went back to enjoy his happy life. Until some time later, the wild boar After Lai Bao reported that the artillery manufacturing had been fully completed and test firing was possible, the black dragon appeared again.

The hurricane makes it difficult for mortals to walk, but it cannot stop the monsters' feet. The five-headed bi-dragon dragons have ropes on them, and the two artillery cannons are directly transported to the Tuhala desert. They are artillery, not magic artillery.

Caesar instructed the dragons to carefully lower and remove the hooks, and personally began to adjust the height of the gun rack so that the gun body was flat, and the struts entered the sand. The super-large caliber guns were still toys in the hands of the black dragon.

This artillery fired a 24-pound solid iron ball. Both the shell and the gunpowder were loaded in the front chamber and relied on the lead to ignite. The arsenal referred to the mature design of the Eladia demonstrator and tailored a set for it. Lightweight gun mounts, and in order to improve durability, those parts that have more friction with the ground and are subjected to greater force during launch have undergone special protective treatment.

In fact, while manufacturing solid bullets, Caesar also considered the feasibility of manufacturing projectile explosive gun barrels. That kind of weapon was easier to manufacture and dealt more damage. It was called a conscience gun in previous lives.

However, the ballistic trajectory of the conscience-free artillery was purely dependent on explosives for killing. The demand during the war was too high. At present, the Black Wing Empire cannot afford it.

This hand-made, limited-issue 24-pound cannon is all shining brightly. However, the actual lineup was much humbler than the previous gunpowder test, except for Kaiser Luna, Hogg and In addition to the boar men in charge of the arsenal, there were only a few flying dragons and war lizards.

After all, the artillery was not the first product to appear in Elladia. In terms of historical significance, there is no such thing as steam gunpowder black powder. Even Caesar himself did not particularly care about it. After all, this is actually just a transition product.

"How to do it? Is it a process or direct ignition?"

Although Caesar's structure of the artillery is still clear, the specific operation is completely blank. There are no image records of the operation of the artillery in the two souls, and he can only cross the river by feeling the stones: "Hogg, think of a way to do it He fired. "

It is not that Caesar is unwilling to search for professional artillery soldiers. In fact, Elladia does not have this profession at all. The magic guided gun is driven by the core of energy. It only needs to trigger the spell mark to activate the launch.

There is no way, the fearless wolfman must take this responsibility. He looked for it, took a mop-like cleaning rod from the bottom of the turret, and began to pretend to clean the barrel. This is a necessary step. The warning from the black powder, but because it is The first test shot, the barrel was clean and abnormal, and the wolfman did not tinker with anything.

The wild boar took out a bag of wrapped black powder and squeezed it into the barrel. Then Caesar picked up the shell and put it in with a hook toe. Then he took out the drill pipe and inserted it through the lead wire at the rear end of the gun, and broke the gunpowder packet , And then piercing the leads, so that the tedious launch preparation is complete.

Caesar chose to let the boar man ignite, because after all, it was responsible for this matter, and the monsters present were relatively reckless. None of them retreated, and the boar man lit the lead directly.

The sparkles shone and there was a loud noise.

The high-speed air flow from the muzzle rolled up the yellow sand, and a layer of smoke was raised on the ground. In theory, the effective range of a 24-pound cannon can reach kilometers. The trajectory of the front shell is like a straight line, a rock mound 800 meters away. The target made a squeaking noise and was hit by a 24-pound iron ball in front of it ~ www.ltnovel.com ~. The iron ball continued to shake. The strong impact force aroused a series of sand clouds, and finally fell into the ground.

When the smoke cleared, Hogg and the Boarman ran to the target for the first time, and saw that the front of the rock mound completely collapsed, and a densely diffused crack had appeared. A prominent hole was located on the upper right side, which was a bit off from the intended target. oblique.

Obviously, even after encountering obstacles and penetrating the target, the shell still flew forward nearly 50 meters, and even when it finally fell into the yellow sand, it contained amazing energy inside.

"Unexpected power."

Hogg lamented that such a weapon had not appeared in the northern part of the mainland. He could already imagine the tragic situation where the enemies had gathered together and had been penetrated by dozens of shells before contacting the Black Wing army.

"Yes," Caesar nodded, affirming: "Recycle the shell and inform the arsenal to prepare for mass production."

At this moment, a little clever person said, "Oh, Caesar, you detonated that gunpowder with your bare hands last time, don't you try this time?"

"Refuse."
