Super Chief

Chapter 271: effect

At the time of the War of Liberation, the conscientious artillery can only be regarded as a soil weapon that cannot be soiled, but for people in this era, whether it is European colonists or more primitive and backward North American Indians. , That is the out-and-out "black technology weapon."

Even Stone Bear underestimated the deterrence of unconscionable cannons on people of this age, especially these Indians who love this **** and that god.

When five unscrupulous artillery shells weighing close to 20 kilograms exploded in and above Yu Chiren's team, Shi Xiong suddenly realized that his group didn't even need to fire a second shot.

The ill-conscientious artillery used by Shi Xiong is more earthy than the ill-conscientious artillery used by the soldiers. Of course, this earth mainly refers to ammunition.

When the soldiers used unscrupulous shelling to bomb the enemy back then, they still used serious ammunition packs, but what kind of ammunition did Shi Xiong get? It is to fill a large clay pot with black powder, and then wrap it with cotton cloth.

The weight of a large clay pot is close to ten kilograms, and another ten kilograms of black powder is filled in it. The weight of a "cannonball" alone is close to 20 kilograms.

In order to launch such a big guy into an area two hundred meters away, the black powder used as a propellant was used by Shi Xiong and the others!

The quantity of this propellant is not random. Shi Xiong remembers clearly that when the soldiers used the unscrupulous cannon, they had to put a pound of propellant in a ten-kilogram bag. The weight of the shell he made was doubled, and the propellant would naturally be doubled.

Although black powder cannot be compared with smokeless powder, it is sufficient as a propellant. A charge of up to two kilograms is enough to send a shell weighing close to twenty kilograms to an area two hundred meters away.

The specially made fuse can also ensure that this clay pot shell can be completely detonated. Before the thunderbolt and flash hider were not made out, Shi Xiong could only use this most primitive way to explode the fire.

However, this kind of conscience gun was also tested before this actual combat, and the effect is still very good.

So when these five unscrupulous guns were carried here by Shixiong and the others, and then participated in the first actual combat, the effect they showed far exceeded the effect of the experiment.

When experimenting with a conscientious cannon, because the detonation of a cannonball needs to rely on a fuse to complete, and the launch also requires a fuse, so when launching a cannonball, it is necessary to ignite two fuses at the same time.

The fuse inserted into the unscrupulous artillery shell is slightly longer than the fuse inserted into the propellant. When the burning speed of the two fuses is about the same, the explosion time of the projectile can be guaranteed to be longer than that of the propellant. The time is so long for a short while.

This time difference is about five seconds.

When the conscience cannon was half buried in the ground, it was buried at an angle of forty-five degrees. Under the impetus of the black powder, the speed of this kind of shell weighing close to 20 kilograms is estimated to be 100 meters at most. /Sec, this number is also a high estimate. It is necessary to know that the ejection speed of mortar shells during World War II was so fast.

Moreover, the shape of the shells is irregular, the unscrupulous guns have no rifled lines, and the air resistance is added. Anyway, when testing at the beginning, the shells had to be hit to an area 200 meters away. The shells had to fly for nearly five seconds in the air. Clock time.

When everything depends on estimation, Shi Xiong can only find a way on the fuse. The fuse installed on the shell must not only ensure that the shell does not explode before it exits the chamber, but also try to make the shell explode when it falls on the enemy's head, so as to cause the greatest damage.

After many trials, this situation finally formed.

The Shixiong’s experiment was not wasted in vain. With five earth-shattering explosions, five black artillery shells slowly traversed a parabola in the air at a speed visible to the naked eye, rolling and falling into Yu Chiren’s place. Area.

Three of the shells exploded after landing, while the other two exploded just above Yu Chiren's head.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the stone bear can clearly see the effect of the three bombs that exploded after landing.

Only one of these three artillery shells landed in an area where the Yu Chi people were more concentrated, so when that shell exploded, the dust lifted up formed an obvious shock wave, and all the Yu Chi people standing within a radius of about ten meters were They were torn into pieces by the explosion, and the Yu Chiren within a radius of 20 meters all became blood gourds, and the blood was sprayed out as desperately as if they didn't need money.

As for the area 20 meters away, at least more than 20 Yu Chi people were blown up by the shock wave. It is estimated that they will not survive after landing.

With just a glance, Shi Xiong judged that this shell killed at least forty Yu Chiren~lightnovelpub.net~ The other two shells that exploded after landing, although they did not kill so many people, It's okay to kill fifteen or six in one shell.

The most terrifying thing is the two air-explosive unscrupulous artillery shells, especially if one of them exploded in the area where the Yu Chi people were most concentrated, the effect was even more spectacular and tragic.

The height of the explosion of this shell is five or six meters high. Although the power of black powder is far from comparable to those of later generations, the charge of a full ten kilograms is also very terrifying.

So, when this shell exploded, a small sun appeared above the heads of the Yu Chi people...

And because there is no absorption of the shock wave by the earth, Shi Xiong can even see that the air near the explosion point has formed a wave visible to the naked eye. All Yu Chiren within a radius of 30 meters below the blasting point were instantly crushed into fleshy flesh by the shock wave visible to the naked eye. The fragments produced by the shells exploded in the air also swept the surrounding area of ​​50 meters in just a few tenths of a second.

Hundreds of Yu Chi people have been scraped into blood by the fragments.

This unscrupulous artillery shell that exploded in the air directly caused the dense Yu Chiren below to vacate a circle with a radius of about fifty meters...

Although another air-explosive shell did not cause such a terrifying effect, in addition to being killed in a certain range, the Yu Chiren were mostly bled by the shock wave.

After these five unscrupulous artillery shells exploded, the original noisy area suddenly became deadly silent.

As for Yu Chiren, although these five sudden explosions completely suffocated them, what scared them even more was the ten explosions that sounded one after another...
