Chapter 48 (1/2)
”The gunner is ready. The bow gun aims at the largest ship for me. It's like training. There's no lack of fighting in the journey after that!” Chengying put down the sextant and ordered the gunner.
The world's end is too big, so in addition to all 80 heavy guns on the side chord, four main guns with the largest caliber are placed in the bow and stern respectively.
The gun body is made of demonized metal materials forged by Tang Chen. The gun barrel is boring out a little by a boring machine. Each door costs ten thousand gold. The pure copper gun can't be so expensive, but its power is obvious to all.
It adopts breech filling and the integrated design of primer and shell. The loading speed is very fast. It is different from the artillery in World War I. However, it is used to reduce recoil and affect calibration. It is also of limited use in naval warfare.
This is often the case with the participation of soul masters and the experience of filmmaking. Some powerful weapons that are far beyond the times but can not be mass produced can be forcibly manufactured. Some of them, like the soul guides in the second part, must be made with the utmost efforts of soul masters, and the scope of application is also very small.
Such a thing can not become a force to change the times, but it is enough to let people see the bright future of this road.
With the order of the photographer, more than a dozen skilled Gunners took out the conical shells with the thickness of adult legs, filled them into the gun chamber, closed the locking mechanism, adjusted the angle, and aimed at the fleeing pirate flagship according to the scale.
”Well, you've always been curious about the power of these guns. Take this opportunity to have a good look.” With that, Chengying had taken his disciples to the ship building and looked down at it clearly.
The next moment, I saw the flame jet in the gun barrel, and then there was a rumble. The roaring gunfire scared away the seagulls parked on the side of the ship. The invisible shells made the water surface explode tens of feet high in a moment.
Three of the four shells fell into the water. One hit the side chord of Shao Shang's flagship. Wood chips splashed. The hard wooden ship board was not the opponent of the shell. In an instant, a big hole was opened on both sides of the pirate ship.
Shao Shang, who madly ordered the sailors to paddle on the ship, was stupid. The power of the just shot was at least the power of the soul King's strike. It was definitely a big pit on the ground.
His ship only used a shallow keel structure without a watertight cabin. This shot immediately made his hull leak wildly, which made him scold: ”bastard, what is it! You pigs, go and plug the hole in the boat! Don't fucking talk to me. If you can't stop it, stop it! If the ship sinks, we'll all die! ”
He is sure that the soul king will never attack. No soul king can attack such a distant target, nor can the soul emperor. It can only be done by the special soul saint of Wu soul. This time, he undoubtedly kicked the iron plate, and it seems that he is still made of aidman alloy
Just when he was considering whether to abandon the ship and escape, four more shells came. Although they all failed, two of them simply rubbed his ship into the sea. With the attack frequency of the opposite side, I'm afraid it won't take long to turn his ship into a horse nest.
He could not see the hope of escape at all. The fiery soul on the opposite bow was a monster, and only jumping off the ship could have a chance of life. His soul was a deep-sea squid, which was different from other animals. His soul strengthened itself. His soul was isolated.
This is also an important reason why he can cross the sea. This thing can easily overturn the enemy's warships in the sea. Now it has become his only hope to escape the artillery attack.
Immediately he no longer hesitated and jumped into the sea. The big squid stretched out a tentacle, wrapped around his body, spewed out a large amount of ink and rushed to the bottom of the water.
As long as he escaped to the deep sea, with his ability to breathe under the water with his skin, even if the soul Saint came, it was not easy to catch him.
But sometimes people's luck is so bad. The deep-sea big squid is such an obvious target. How can the artillery at the bow not notice that the shells naturally take care of the past. In contrast, the big squid is smaller than the ship and should be more difficult to hit.
But when the shell hit out, the landing point in a certain range was a random number. It deserved Shao Shang's bad luck. As soon as he began to dive, a shell hit the big squid's eyes straight.
