Watching the Dawn

Vol 7 Chapter 69: The beginning of the legend

Since coming to the Caribbean, he has been waiting for his own warship to wait for the first magnificent side gun volley, which has been waiting too long!

Lu Yuan quietly looked forward to the fact that even the action of operating the wheel rudder became softer and softer, trying his best not to let the moving ships interfere with the gunners' shooting ...

"Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ~!" The starboard side sparsely pulled out five flames.

As the ship was in the downwind position when shooting, the sea breeze was blowing the white smoke from the shooting back onto the deck, and several groups of gunners were coughing desperately.

Without the two cannons fired successfully, the people in the artillery group inspected the cannons in tremendous fear. There was even a guy who put his head in the muzzle and looked in—it was enough!

However, there were only seven guns, and only five were fired ... Where can the smoke grow? ! Standing on the stern floor, Lu Yuan easily observed the results of this shooting ... he was completely shocked!

"I just said I wanted to shoot the reef, right ?!" Lu Yuan grabbed Auguste's neck collar and pulled him fiercely in front of him, asking angrily, "I did I say that?" ! I did mean to shoot the piece that looks at least fifteen feet high! Is there a sixty foot wide reef ?! "

"Ah ..." Auguste panicked at the far-off angry look of the landing, looking left and right, looking forward to someone who could rescue him! But when he saw that all the gunners were huddled together, and he shivered, he had to nod and replied with a trembling voice, "Yes, your command is for us to shoot the reef ..."

Don't look at him as big as a man, don't look at him as a ship's first officer. Have fought many times with human blood! But in the face of Lu Yuan's murderous eruption, he almost scared his urine pants!

"It really wasn't my problem. I thought I heard it." Lu Yuan let go of his hands in despair, trembling and pushed Auguste to the side, staggering to hold the rudder. "Then you are hitting the moon ?! Billy! You gangues! You should be hanged and let you go to see Stalin! I came to Hebei Province, I thought this ship was awesome. ... but I ’ve put it all, so you show me this ?! I ’m so angry! "

One hundred meters, one hundred meters, shooting a static target, to see the distribution of the sea water splashed by that shell when it fell into the sea. Nima needs to stop a US aircraft carrier to hit it!

Lu Yuan exhaled his temper. Finally, he was all irritated.

In the end, he could only put down the anchor like a head, and sit down in frustration to find a way.

A qualified gunner trained in a day?

It's a fantasy! take it easy……

When Lu Yuan sobered from the annoyance, he realized that he had made many mistakes that leaders should not make. For example, you can't get angry in public, for example, you should not express disappointment to the team directly under the opponent.

Now the gunners. The stormtroopers who watched around were ridiculous. Head down one by one. A look of no complacency. They also knew that they played too badly. In the system of basic salary + share specified by Lu Yuan, the basic salary of the gunner is the envy of everyone, and the revenue of the stormtroopers depends mainly on the share of plunder. Of course. Most sailors have part-time jobs, and it is impossible for them to raise professional soldiers on board.

Therefore, the gunner is also a profession that everyone envy, jealous, and hate.

Lu Yuan shook his head and walked over. He first praised the seventh group of guns. Although they were the slowest group when loading, their guns were correctly fired and the closest group to the target!

"Okay! Start the second round!" Lu Yuan stood up and clapped his hands, shouting loudly, "You have four minutes! Hurry up and start right away!"

Immediately he yelled at the gang of stormtroopers, "Go back to bed for me! Or I'll tie you to the reef as a target!"

"What are you afraid of tying there ?! They can't hit anyway!" There was a guy inside who sneered sneerly and angered the stormtroopers again. Lu Yuan looked coldly, raised his hand sharply, a cable hung down, and **** the little boy in the crowd.

A bunch of scum as cannon fodder actually laughed at other technical arms, I really don't know how to write death!

A rag was inserted directly into the man's mouth, blocking his curse. "Send him to the reef!"

Lu Yu ordered coldly that the sailors suddenly became chilly! The stormtrooper guys looked at each other and hid under the leadership of an old guy.

After a few sailors drove the boat and sent the instigated guy to the reef, no one dared to laugh at the gunners anymore, and they watched one after another. But it didn't take long for someone to propose a gambling game for the unlucky guy on the reef ... It was a bunch of unruly bastards!

At this time, Lu Yuan had stopped paying attention to them. He handed the rudder to an old sailor, and he drove casually. He walked over to the loaded cannons and checked them one by one. The projectiles are purchased uniformly and are basically the same; gunpowder is a pre-measured sub-packet. Lu Yuan found that the difference is not much after measurement, which is basically the same.

In the end, he stopped looking at the lead, which was out of the gun door and had different lengths. At this time, there was neither an improved flint machine (British machine) in the UK, nor such a thing, only this ordinary fuze. Lu Yuan pulled out the bayonet sword in silence, and cut off the long line of fire in turn, leaving only the length of the index finger outside the barrel.

Immediately, Lu Yuan picked up the tip of the sword and picked up a wooden block with a gun barrel. The sword light flickered, and in the blink of an eye, a square wooden post with 20 fingers was cut.

"Each gunner takes one, and after each refill, the excess is cut off by himself. If someone violates ..."

Lu Yuan did not go on, but everyone understood what he meant.

"But such short leads are too dangerous for people who are ignited!" The gunners picked up the wooden slats silently and don't put them on their belts, but there was still a gunner who protested.

Lu Yuan didn't even look at him, but said coldly. "Then run faster!"

Under high pressure, no one said anything.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan corrects what he thinks is inappropriate in turn, because he has found a way to solve the problem.

Since the mountain does not come to me, then I will go to the mountain!

Since the energy system was transformed into true energy, the vice brain replaced with new energy, just like the stimulant, the calculation amount directly doubled! Lu Yuan, with the support of the calculation of the auxiliary brain, can definitely do something beyond the limits of human imagination!

Lu Yuan understood the details of the naval gun salvo of this era a little bit, and it was indeed very complicated, but very rough.

For example, artillery aiming of this era. Basically relying on the gunner's experience. Adjust the elevation angle of the cannon by prying the wooden block under the gun body, and can only choose between horizontal, 4 degrees, and 8 degrees. Use the knots that pull the left and right sides of the cannon to offset it. Lu Yuan fixed the shooting angle directly, and then prohibited the left and right adjustment of the cannon.

But gunpowder loading is quite complicated, and full, half, or even one third gunpowder loading is based entirely on the gunner ’s experience. It is said that the mortar has more than a dozen kinds of charges. Non-professionals cannot use it smoothly.

...

"Okay! Let's do it again!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly. Regained control of the rudder.

"No. 1!" August lit the fuse. Three seconds later, with a "boom" sound, a 16-pound medium cannon fired a flame! The shells crossed a nearly straight line. Accurately hit a reef 100 meters away, and hit a gravel!

The gunners were shocked, opened their mouths and could not close! The sailors of the whole ship were also shocked, and their mouths could not be closed even if they opened their mouths! What just happened? No one can think of a hit! This is a hundred meters! In today's sea conditions, even the most elite gunner dare not think about it, is he possessed by the **** of luck? !

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" Auguste thumped his chest in excitement and hugged and celebrated with the same group of people!

"No. 2!" But when he tried to hug Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan ignored him and continued to give orders with a nearly indifferent expression. At the same time, he infused a little bit to fine-tune the wheel rudder-he now thinks this thing should be The transmission gear is refined ten times more! Otherwise, he could not meet his requirements for manipulation accuracy!

The gunner of the No. 2 cannon ignited the wire a little, and after three seconds, there was another cannon blast! This time it landed directly in front of the reef, less than one meter from the reef! The whole ship made a pity. But No. 2 gunner still jumped up excitedly and hugged with the gun crew excitedly! This is a near missed bomb, and it is equally remarkable in naval battles!

"No. 2 gunner's charge is always less than others." Lu Yuan silently recorded into the auxiliary brain.

"number 3!"

...

A cannon fired down, causing the sailors to go from shock to numbness, and from numbness to shock. A full seven shots, actually hit three times! And the other four shots also fell near the reef! What kind of hit rate is this? ! But the fort is obviously not allowed to adjust the firing angle? ! It is not allowed to adjust the left and right, how did that hit?

Only August saw something, and he grew his mouth incredulously. August felt that if he told others his guess, that person would think he was crazy!

But Lu Yuan didn't need him to ask questions at all, and ordered directly, "The third round! Load it immediately! Before you are hanged, you still have 4 minutes to chat!"

So the gunners went to the third round of filling again!

At this time, countless data are flashing in Lu Yuan's eyes! "The firing curve of the No. 4 gun has a declination angle of 0.6 degrees", "the error of the gunpowder burning is 0.2 seconds", "the nearby sea state and surge model" ...

In the sea, ships are chasing each other, and the speed is constantly changing, making extremely complicated relative movements! And because of the waves, the ship itself is also swaying vertically and horizontally, and the more the boat, the more violent the sway. There are no giant ships that the sea cannot shake in this era.

The shooting of the cannon itself is more complicated, the amount of manual charge and gunpowder cannot be determined; the shooting curve caused by the quality problem of the cannon is inaccurate; the cannon needs to be dragged back when the cannon is loaded, and then pushed back after the loading is completed! The position change before and after determines that the target of each shot is changing ...

Among all the factors, Lu Yuanneng has a full grasp of the impact. It's just the ship itself! So he fixed the firing angle of the cannon on the turret and specified the shooting direction, first of all to ensure that the artillery volley can be concentrated within a range!

Then Lu Yuan calculated the shooting curve of the seven guns at the moment of shooting through calculation of the sea breeze, ocean currents and the movement of the ship itself, and adjusted the posture of the hull in the process, so that the shelled area could be directly Cover the target!

Although it is still impossible to shoot accurately, the probability of hit will undoubtedly increase greatly!

This is the probability of fighting at sea!

"No. 2 loader, deduct 10 pesos salary. Your gunpowder is loaded for the second time; the gunner of No. 6 is the loader. Every time you push back the cannon, it will sway left and right, causing misalignment. August. Let someone in the gun room make an accurate half-powder pack, and do n’t let the gunner estimate it. Then I ’ll draw a line on the gun ’s door. You ’ll find someone carved into the groove. The front wheel of the gun will be stuck in later The groove can shoot! ... "

Lu Yuan explained each item. More than a dozen comments were made. And made several adjustments to the job promotion. There is also a fine-tuning of the horizontal position of the gun position, which can further narrow the left and right width of the covered area.

"I remember!" August responded obediently. The more he looked at Lu Yuan, who was in charge of the rudder, the more frightened he was.

"Wait. You ... Ah, no! Captain! Captain, you said I'm paid?" The No. 2 loader was not frustrated, but asked in surprise.

"If you continue to talk, you will be hanged on my mast in two minutes! Rest assured, I will definitely bring your salary to your wife today!" Lu Yuan raised his head and said. Hearing that the salary has been calculated since today, all the gunners remembered their huge contract, and they were so full of spirit!

"This time we have a volley!" Lu Yuan shouted loudly, "One, two, three, fire!"

The gunners rounded the line of fire to the fuse and ignited it, then quickly let it go. Three seconds later, the neat gradual shooting again raised a thick white mist, this time experienced Lu Yuan left it on the side of the ship. The hull was pushed out by the volley for five meters!

When this extremely rhythmic shooting was completed, Jacques on the lookout took the lead in shouting, "Seven, two and five are almost lost! This time is so beautiful!" The old sailor on the boat couldn't help cheering! I have never heard of such a hit rate! But so far they can't see how this is done!

"The No. 1 Artillery Group and the No. 3 Artillery Group were formed as full members. Let's have another round!" Lu Yuan continued to order indifferently. At this time, all the people were actively acting, and there was no more doubt! Although I don't know why, the artillery hit rate suddenly increased to the level of terror! But there is no doubt that the key lies in Lu Yuan!

Everyone peeped at the ruthless captain.

Lu Yuan's authority gradually erected.

...

When Lu Yuan left the reef in a boat, no one cared about the stupid situation on the reef. Just look at the reef that turned into a dog bite, and the guy above ... don't know what can be left.

Of the seven groups of gunners, five groups of Shunlin were promoted to full-scale gunners, and the guaranteed salary increased by 30%! The other two groups of gunners left only the qualified ones, and the others were kicked into the stormtroopers and re-selected.

Since then, this rule has been retained.

After an afternoon of training, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is getting darker and the wind and waves are getting bigger and bigger. Lu Yuan takes the fleet and once again fights against the pirate fleet! In the sea, there is no clear route. In order to capture the sea breeze, ships are always interspersed around the route, rather than strictly adhering to the route. Therefore, perhaps a gust of wind can cause two ships on the same route to travel opposite each other by a distance of two nautical miles, and even pass each other without seeing each other.

So we need a visually observant hand!

As evening approached, Jacques on top of the mast shouted, "I saw them! Northwest! A four-star Galen sailboat and a five-star Caravel!"

"Stop the alarm! Raise our flag! Fight!" Auguste roared with blood at the sight of Lu Yuan's gesture!

A unique flag painted with a sea monster rises hula la, and flutters under the Caribbean sky for the first time! (To be continued ...)

ps: ps: One million words, ahhhhhhh, all kinds of requests!

Old ladies and wives look at it, recommend the ticket, praise it or something, come to the old Lei bowl! ()
