Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 646: A new invention of the ship
Jinxia City, on the outskirts of North Gate.
The military has set up a long cordon in the surrounding area, not because of an enemy attack or accident, but the Agency intends to conduct a weapon improvement test here.
Different from the previous tests conducted in the martial arts field or on the beach, this time the bare field has a range of nearly 100 acres, and any residents are prohibited from approaching the test field. Both the scale and the level of confidentiality are greatly improved than before. .
The host is naturally Mo Yun, the head of the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering.
"Master Mo, the target is ready!" Ai Li reported eagerly, "The measured distance from the shooting point is 235 feet, and all personnel have been evacuated."
"Thank you." Mo Yun raised his observation mirror and looked towards the sea to the east-he saw a two-masted sea ship floating half-tilted not far from the shore, and there was a clear freezing under the waterline. Mark of. This is the same pirate ship that invaded the coast of Jinxia before. Because the hull was severely damaged by the ice ship, it didn't have much repair value, so it was thrown on the beach after being pulled to the shore and stranded. Now that I temporarily freeze the breach and then pull it back to the sea as a target, it can be considered as exhausting the last value.
"Do you want to be the motivator for this test?"
"Eh, me?" Ai Li was taken aback for a moment, her expression a little eager to try.
Mo Yun nodded and said, "Anyway, you know the process, just inject air according to the usual method of operation."
"Yes, I will try my best!" The elf patted his chest.
"You don't have to be too biased towards her. If you make a mistake, you can be punished according to the rules." The high priest Sonia who was watching covered her mouth and chuckled. Although the words were a bit harsh, everyone could tell that she was in a good mood.
"It's not partial. Her performance in the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering is indeed one of the best students." Mo Yun shook his head, "Besides, half of the technology this time comes from the seed of the tree of spirits. Let her act as an inspiration. The hand couldn’t be more appropriate."
"Master Mo, the new warhead is loaded and ready to be tested!" The assistant in the distance raised the green flag.
"Let's start." Mo Yun ordered.
"Yes, sound the alarm!"
The high-pitched buzzing sound resounded through the countryside and woods-this is also the last safety reminder, so that residents who are close to the test area can leave as soon as possible.
After three alarms, Ai Li activated the electromagnetic cannon.
I saw a ball of fire flashing, and the projectile shot directly towards the distant target ship at a speed beyond the naked eye. The distance of more than two hundred feet was only a short time! However, the projectile did not directly hit the ship's hull.
The parameters of the test shot are slightly off.
However, a seemingly ordinary shelling test changed here.
A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted at the landing point, and a dazzling flame burst out, bringing up a water column nearly fifty feet high! The shock wave caused an eye-catching white circle on the sea, and the hull trembled violently even if it was not directly hit!
Sania raised her brows in surprise.
This kind of power... even the spark shells equipped for a forty-eight-pounder gun is nothing more than that?
No...It should be said that it is far better!
"Is this really the effect of the spirit tree?"
"Well...Without this key material, the experiment would be difficult to go so smoothly." Mo Yun raised his mouth slightly. Although she didn't directly hit the ship, she knew in her heart that this design idea was completely feasible when she saw the splashes all over the sky.
Yes, the main weapon, the electromagnetic gun, is still the original weapon without any changes. The thing she really tested is the new generation of long-barreled projectiles.
It can be said that an arm-sized cannonball has concentrated all the technological achievements of Jinxia City so far.
And its research and development idea is exactly the "General Instrumental Instrument" proposed by Xia Fan.
In the past, half of the magical instruments produced by the mechanization bureau were heavenly movement instruments, and the other half were all kinds of shaking magical instruments, such as the audio instrument, the streamer amplifier, and the amplification method in the Nine Nether Fire of Xianshu Device.
But Xia Fan believes that magical weapons shouldn't just stay in the Kun and Zhen two types. Any kind of magical arts should try to develop its own magical weapons.
It’s just that the truth is simple to say, but in fact it is extremely difficult.
First of all, the basic spells of some alchemy are really difficult to use on magical instruments, such as the tranquility in the hurdle, the moon in the water, etc.... These completely need to rely on the consciousness of the operator to guide, and the talisman alone does not work. big. Another point is that any technique used in high and deep places will always form different branching directions according to personal perception. Although this kind of alchemy has a stronger effect, it can't be made into a magic weapon for others to use.
It is this kind of shortcoming that makes the training direction of the Privy Council more inclined to the cultivation of people rather than the development of organs. A guard-level alchemist is enough to sweep hundreds of introductory enthusiasts holding common magical instruments, and the inclusion of a large number of talents ensures that they do not need to invest more resources in the latter.
What changed this situation is still universal education.
A large amount of unified knowledge is mastered by the introductory enthusiasts, so that they have formed a set of very close world perceptions. A magical tool that one person can find, as long as a little explanation, other people can quickly learn . In addition, a large number of drawings of artifacts retrieved from the Privy Council of Gyeonggi also gave the Bureau's research a reference that could help us get started.
More importantly, the books written by Xia Fan are not just specializing in seismic techniques.
The natural sciences can be said to be all-encompassing, and all eight categories of knowledge are involved. At most, the level of research is different.
The alchemist who was out of the genus understood the relationship between combustion and oxidation, and for the first time understood the nature of explosion.
The alchemists of the genus began to frantically use plants and animals to conduct resuscitation experiments~IndoMTL.com~, and saw the mysteries of the microcosm for the first time under the finely polished lenses of the Ministry of Machinery Industry.
The alchemist of the Kun class looked up at the starry sky, and began to draw star maps according to the theory of the regular motion of stars.
Although everyone's research was very simple at the beginning, and basically stayed at a level that ordinary people can observe at a glance, but the core of their observation has changed completely from the past.
It is based on these foundations that more and more practical instruments have been included in the manufacturing category of the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering.
For example, the mutilating long-rod projectile this time.
It adopts a configuration completely different from that of a flower bomb, and its core composition is exactly three kinds of magical instruments that interact with each other.
After adjusting the shooting angle, Ai Li launched the second round of test shots——
This time, the shell accurately hit the target ship, which is different from the previous projectile body that penetrated the wooden hull directly. This time there was a violent explosion in the center of the hull. Under the impact of the heat wave, the damaged hull broke into two pieces. , The mast was blown away tens of feet away!
Everyone who participated in the test burst into enthusiastic cheers.
There is no doubt that this invention will completely change the status quo that electromagnetic guns are not suitable for naval warfare.
