Chapter 788 The First Grenadier Regiment of the Holy League
Standing on the ten-meter-high wooden tower, Horn's cloak was blown by the wind.
Raising the lookglass in his hand, Horn looked at the erected straw man target on the beach of the Ibe River in the distance.
These targets are distributed in the character "Feng" and are also furnished with Lea style feathers.
Behind the clay bunker two hundred meters away from the target, six craftsmen were erecting some kind of tubular object on a tripod.
This type of tubular object is a small clockwork grenade tube.
Use less than one pound of mountain copper springs and combined with a front-end projectile barrel of about the length of the calf, it is a suitable small mortar or grenade barrel.
These grenade squads are an evolved version of the hand cannon squad, specifically used to throw clock bombs and green dragon breath poison smoke bombs.
The Green Clothing Party, who mastered the Green Dragon Breath, made a lot of money by selling patents.
But what Horn is going to test today is not the clock bomb and the poison smoke bomb, but a brand new grenade used to replace the Red Dragon Breath.
Although he was far away, he could still see the "cannonballs" loaded into the tubular objects from the lookout glass.
Cylindrical shells must be stored in a low temperature environment, that is, soaked in cold water.
Once the temperature is too high, it becomes unstable.
Once unstable, any tiny collision can lead to terrible consequences.
These shells are made of cylinders similar to crystals, and if they are close, they can also see the solidified lightning in the crystals.
A craftsman apprentice staggered over with an amethyst-like plasma bomb, and the leaping light casts a blue-purple shadow on his face.
Yes, this is the new weapon developed by Changdicheng recently - the plasma bomb.
The preparation method is very simple. Those who have ether spires, moon mercury and lightning spell wizards at home can try it.
Simply put, it is to use lightning to bombard the ether when the ether spire guides the ether.
The charged ether will be sealed in the monsoon mercury pool below, and then the preparation method of red dragon breath will be used to crystallize the electrostatic mercury.
It can extract the charged moon mercury crystal, and after installing a buffer device and an excitation device in the rear, it can be used on the battlefield.
Horn personally named it "Plass Frame". Although this "Plass" is not the other plasma, Shengsun just gave guidance and had no objection.
"Woo——"
The whistle of the pressure relief valve suddenly sounded in the test site.
"Preparation for loading!" The grenade launcher craftsman waved the baton tied with a colorful flag.
Shaking the rotary handle, the grenade can stand up at a ground inclination of 60 degrees, and the 50 mm barrel mouth rushed straight towards the apprentice.
After swallowing, the apprentice carefully threw the plasma bomb into the end of the grenade tube.
Then he bent over and rushed to the side.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but people around me can hear subtle crackling sounds.
The next second, with a "bang" sound, the plasma bomb that had just fallen into the grenade cannon flew into the sky at an extremely fast speed.
Since I had been calibrated several times in advance, this plasma bomb was quite accurate.
It drew a standard parabola and landed accurately in the middle of the three grass men.
The moment he landed, Horn couldn't help but hold the barrel of the viewing glass tightly, and time seemed to pause for a second.
Then, the deafening explosion blew the cold wind.
In the middle of the Pin-shaped grass man, what is sprayed is not flame, but a ball of spherical lightning with a diameter of half a meter.
The spider-web-like electric snake crawled through the air and swept across the trajectory of the ground, and the dead grass instantly turned into black gullies.
The iron armor on the three grass men melted into red iron in the plasma, dripping on the grass and making a hissing sound. "Hiss--" There was also a hissing sound of gasping in the crowd watching the ceremony.
When the electric snake disappeared, a charred pit was left on the spot, and the armor of the three grass men around was taken off by the brave craftsmen.
They came to the crowd of people watching and showed them the armor in their hands.
These armors faced the plasma bomb, and melted dark red holes appeared.
The melted iron solidified into the surface of the armor's wreckage, not to mention the straw man burning out in the armor.
The look of the audience who looked at each other from a distance and then close up changed slightly.
Especially those delegates from North, South Mund and Mund.
Most of them were from small nobles or landlords and monks, and many of them had been on the battlefield.
They have witnessed it like clock bombs and poisonous smoke bombs.
But this kind of powerful plasma bomb is really hard to see.
They can even see the effect of these plasma bombs falling into the square or in the charger on the battlefield.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Putting down the lookglass, Horn nodded with satisfaction.
If the grenade launcher had not been short and the bounce speed was slow, it might have been volleyed by the extraordinary knight with a bow and arrow, and it could have been used instead of the clockwork gun.
He looked at Pettier calmly when he arrived: "How many monthly yields?"
Pettier didn't have to read the notes, but answered directly based on memory: "Etheric guidance can produce about five rounds, but it also needs to charge the star cast gear evenly, so it takes about three months to ten rounds."
"Didn't the Holy Mechanical Court say that you can quickly calculate the second ether point through a hand-crank calculator?"
The so-called ether point can be regarded as a new set of guidance rituals independent of the previous old rituals.
In this way, it could be changed to four times a month at most twice a month.
Pettier shook his head: "Bachelor Kelpin was transferred to study the mountain copper and changed it. Lord Seneus went to Shangrifor County, and the number of college students assisting the research was decreasing sharply..."
"Wait." Horn's originally stretched brows stood up, "I still understand the first two sentences, how can the number of college students be reduced?"
"The Crown, now Thousand River Valley is fighting against the Kingdom of Lea. Many college students are afraid of being affected and choose to escape to Flange..."
"Then won't they continue their studies?" Duvalon asked.
Pettier was helpless: "Study is not important in life, but almost all teachers and college students in Thousand River Valley stayed."
"Okay, let them go." Horn had no way to stop it, nor did he want to stop it. "Now you know why I have to do my best to develop my school?"
Duvalon and Pettier looked at each other and laughed, "It's still the best for our own people."
Holding the railing of the tower, Horn was stunned.
He turned around until the second round of test shots began.
"The Salvation Army and the Black Champions can be equipped with a grenade squad, without having to spend more than one, an average of two in the infantry regiment, and mainly launch clock bullets and poison smoke bombs."
Pettier immediately took out a small notebook to record.
Horn continued to instruct: "In addition, tomorrow's new recruits and the Black Champions must be arranged to let these people today's military parade together.
Remember to write a list, and after the dinner ends, I will have a chat one by one. ”
Although Horn didn't say what the list was, Pettier nodded in a sensible way.
Duvalon stood aside and cared about the recruits, chuckled, "The ugly wife always has to meet the groom. It's time for them to see the world after training for six weeks."
