Chapter 48 Artillery
"Gunner, get ready. Let me aim the bow cannon at the largest ship. Consider it a training exercise. There will be battles in the rest of the journey!" Cheng Ying put down the sextant and ordered the gunner.
The End of the World is too big, so in addition to the eighty heavy guns on the side strings, four main guns with the largest caliber are also installed on the bow and stern.
The cannon bodies are made of demonized metal materials forged by Tang Chen, and the barrels are bored out bit by bit with a boring machine. Each one costs tens of thousands of gold. Pure copper cannons cannot be that expensive, but their power is obvious to all.
It adopts breech loading, and the primer and shells are integrated into the design. The loading speed is extremely fast. It only needs a hydraulic re-entry machine compared with the artillery in World War I. However, this thing is used to reduce the impact of recoil on calibration, and it is also useful in naval battles.
limited.
With the participation of soul masters and the experience of Cheng Ying, this situation often occurs. Some powerful weapons like handicrafts that are far ahead of the times but cannot be mass-produced can be forcibly manufactured. This is somewhat like the soul in the second part.
The guide requires the soul master to work hard to create it, and its scope of application is also very small.
This kind of thing cannot become a force that changes the times, but it is enough to let people see the bright future of this path.
Following Cheng Ying's order, more than a dozen skilled gunners took out conical shells as thick as an adult's calf, loaded them into the barrel, then closed the locking mechanism, adjusted the angle, and aimed at the rapidly escaping pirate flagship according to the scale.
"Just in time, haven't you always been curious about the power of these artillery pieces? Take this opportunity to take a closer look." As he said that, Cheng Ying had already led his disciples to the ship's building, looking down at the bottom for a clear view.
The next moment, I saw flames spraying from the barrel, and then there was a loud rumble. The roaring gunfire scared away the seagulls parked on the side of the ship. In an instant, the invisible shells caused the water surface in the distance to explode with water splashes several feet high.
.
Three of the four cannonballs fell into the water, and one hit the side string of Shao Shang's flagship. Wood chips flew everywhere, and the hard wooden ship planks were no match for the cannonballs. In an instant, large holes were opened on both sides of the pirate ship.
Shao Shang, who was frantically ordering the sailors to paddle on the boat, was completely stunned. The power of the shot just now was at least as powerful as the Soul King's blow, and it was definitely a big hole when it hit the ground.
His ship had a shallow keel structure and no watertight compartments. This shot immediately caused the hull of his ship to leak wildly, which made him yell angrily: "Asshole, what the hell is this! You bunch of pigs, go and seal the ship."
Plug the holes! Don’t talk nonsense to me. If it can’t be blocked, use someone to block it! If the ship sinks, we will all die!”
He was sure that it was not the Soul King who was attacking. No Soul King could attack such a far target, not even the Soul Emperor. Only a Soul Saint with a special martial spirit could do it. This time he was undoubtedly on the iron plate.
, and it seems to be made of Adamantium alloy...
Just when he was considering whether to abandon the ship and escape, four more cannonballs came. Although they all missed, two of them simply missed his ship and fell into the sea. With the frequency of attacks from the other side, it probably wouldn't take long.
It can turn his ship into a hornet's nest.
He couldn't see any hope of escaping. The flaming martial soul on the bow of the opposite ship was simply a monster. The only way to survive was to jump off the ship. His martial soul was a giant deep-sea squid. Unlike other beasts, the martial soul strengthened itself.
, his martial spirit is out of body.
This is also an important reason why he can navigate the sea. This thing can easily capsize enemy warships in the sea, and now it has become his only hope to escape artillery fire.
Immediately, he no longer hesitated and jumped into the sea. The giant squid stretched out a tentacle, wrapped around his body, sprayed out a large amount of ink, and accelerated towards the bottom of the water.
As long as he escapes to the deep sea and relies on his ability to breathe underwater with his skin, even if the Soul Saint comes, it will not be easy to catch him.
Luck can sometimes be so bad. The deep-sea giant squid is such an obvious target. How could the artillerymen on the bow not notice it? The shells naturally took care of it. In comparison, the giant squid is smaller than the ship and should be more powerful.
Hard to hit.
But when the cannonball was fired, the impact point within a certain range was a random number. Shao Shang deserved his bad luck. As soon as he started to dive, a cannonball hit the big squid's eye.
The kinetic energy brought by the terrifying speed directly exploded Shao Shang's martial spirit, and the backlash transmitted to his body made him spurt out a mouthful of blood.
If the martial soul is broken, although it will not lead to death, it is still seriously injured. After all, the martial soul is an important organ of the human body. Shao Shang's desire to survive makes him want to continue diving underwater to escape, but the seriously injured body makes him can only behave like a bird.
Floating on the water like a dead fish.
"Eh? These guys are pretty good at geometry! They can shoot that squid out from such a distance. I don't know if it's a martial spirit or a spirit beast. It would be a pity if it's a spirit beast." Cheng Ying smacked his mouth, as if
I am remembering the squid from my past life.
Different people think of different things when they see this scene. What Tang Chen thinks of is that this weapon is terrifyingly powerful and can be operated by ordinary people. It will definitely be beneficial to many ordinary people in the future.
What Chao Tianxiang thought of was the Phantom that Chengying took out that day. It was said that the teacher had three sniper rifles, namely the Aurora, the Furnace, and the Glacier, but none of them could shoot as far as this cannon.
Meng Shu's mind went blank because he subconsciously calculated the parabola and hadn't figured it out yet.
Dugu Bo complained expressionlessly: "The artillerymen's geometry is indeed good, much better than Meng Shu."
Meng Shu: "..."
I’m really not a bad student! I’ve only been studying for half a month!
"Drive the boat over to see if the people are dead. If you are not dead, fish them out. I can help!" Cheng Ying ordered the sailors on the boat. In fact, most of the time, he didn't care how the boat drove. He just measured the course and left the professional matters to him.
Leave it to the professionals.
But the current first mate is fine in the river, but he is a little stretched when he reaches the sea. This pirate can pull up a pirate group of more than 20 ships. He is definitely more professional in navigation than the current first mate. If he is not dead, let him
It can also be considered if the other party is at the helm.
With a sextant to determine the latitude and a compass to determine the direction, the route will never go astray. By the way, because Chengying does not have an accurate enough clock, it is impossible to determine the time of noon. When using the sextant, you are looking at the North Star at night.
.
Polaris is not another constellation on the earth. Every self-propelled planet has its own Polaris, which is the one that does not move in the night sky. Measuring the angle between it and the horizontal or vertical direction can determine the latitude.
Being able to roughly determine his position in the sea, Cheng Ying is not afraid of the other party messing around. What's more, if he can become a pirate, he probably won't have much backbone. Thinking of this, Cheng Ying's ship has already arrived at Shao Shang, who is floating like a dead fish.
Standing next to each other, their eyes met, the situation was extremely awkward.
