Chapter 107 Naval Gun Test Firing

Paul also brought 12 artillery for 12 naval this time, including 2 12 pounds of guns, 6 6 -pound guns, 4 -door rotary guns, plus 2 6 -pound guns and 4 rotary cannons used earlier training. Now the Navy already has 18 artillery.

The rotary cannon is a small -caliber artillery that is placed on a bracket that can rotate 360 ​​degrees. Fighting bullets and small artillery are very light and flexible. It is used to support the firepower dead end of the fire -jump operation and make up for the side side guns.

It is hoped that when the number was built, the gate of the artillery was reserved on both sides of the upper deck, because it was first built, it is not clear about how many artillery can be loaded. indivual.

After the trial voyage returned to Hong Kong, Austin commanded the sailors to receive the new artillery brought by Paul. Among them, the 4 6 -pound guns were immediately loaded on the boat, and there was a box of artillery shells and several barrels of gunpowder.

Installing the gun is not a simple job. The space on the boat is small. It must use a rope and pulley to construct a reasonable artillery retirement mechanism. The Navy tested it on land for a long time to find out a more feasible solution.

"Go, take me to the sea to turn around! We will try two guns by the way." After the sailors settled the artillery, Paul couldn't wait to order to go to the sea.

The sailors raised the sails, and several sailors pushed the anchor twisted together to put away the anchor. Driven by the wind, the "Hope" once again slowly drove outside the port.

Many people followed Paul, many people took the first boat for the first time. Everyone looked at it excitedly, as if the hope was a novel toy.

"What you want is this feeling!"

Facing the sea breeze to the endless sea, Paul seemed to be on the Earth's Age on the earth.

At the corner of the deck, the two female consultants were whispering.

Irene is thinking: "I can run so fast without scratching paddle boats."

He also said: "Yes, it is really rare to support so many sails that rely on wind -driven ships."

As an adventurer, she has seen the world, but the types of ships that have seen in the past are generally small vessels that do not rely on manpower paddles.

Irene said mysteriously: "I tell you, in addition to the paper and porcelain used in us, and the canned food that day, this Earl Graman also made a lot of things."

The nature of a woman made her can't wait to share what she saw with her companions: "There is a very terrible one in his army ..."

She stopped suddenly because she remembered the "confidential agreement" that she had signed a name.

oops! This feeling is so uncomfortable.

Irene remembered the artillery and musket shooting scene she saw in the Flame exercise. She wanted to describe the powerful power and huge momentum of the firearm that left a deep impression on her.

"If it can be equipped with a large amount of weapons for the kingdom army, in the face of that kind of power, the rebels in the south will definitely be defeated."

She thought about it more than once, should she show the identity of the princess and ask the lord to contribute the manufacturing technology to the royal family.

But the fear of marriage made her dispel the idea again and again. Essence

菈荻 菈荻 菈荻 菈荻 菈荻 菈荻 菈荻 菈荻 菈荻: "What is terrible?" The action was very cute.

Ilin said with a smile: "I can't say it yet, but you should be able to see it later."

Before the sailing, she heard Paul's phrase "Try two cannons" and saw 4 artillery deployed on the deck. This time, she should be fired in the trial.

Sure enough, after a while she heard Paul's order: "Drive the boat near the stone cliff, we try the effect of carrier -based artillery."

Austin immediately told Quick the order of Paul, hoping to turn the ship's bow and drive to the shore's stone cliff.

The gunners began to fill the artillery, and they quickly installed the two 6 -pound guns arranged on the side of the space.

I soon hoped that the sailing was about 500 meters away from the cliff, and the side side was towards the cliff.

Austin ordered: "Preparation of gunners!"

Irene immediately pulled the ingenious clothes reminded: "The sound will be very loud, covering his ears."

He did it in her words, covered her ears tightly with both hands, and looked at the others on the boat, and she covered her ears.

"Fire!"

As soon as the sound of Austin fell, the two gunners ignited the fire holes of the artillery in front of them.

With the huge roar from the artillery, everyone only felt the hull shook violently.

Looking forward, the power of the carrier artillery in this distance was impressive. The crushed stones on the cliff splattered. One of the artillery shells just hit a huge huge rock, which made it fragmented on the spot.

"Okay ... so amazing!" For the first time, I saw that the artillery firing scene was a little stunned.

Irene introduced to her: "This is a artillery, which can shoot long distances like crossbow guns and stone machines."

I secretly thought: This power and range are much stronger than that of crossbow cannon and stones.

When she remembered the day when Paul recovered the Port of Fulan, there was a thunderous voice outside the town, and soon the Alda army broke into the city.

The huge sound of the day of the day was issued by this weapon. The power of such a degree can indeed directly bombard the city gate. No wonder the pirates' defense does not play a role.

There are four openings on each side of the ship. After all the cannons are deployed, how powerful will this ship be?

No mistake, please go to the 6-9 book forum!

When fighting against a galley of the same size, if all the shells hit the target, there will still be a few rowers left.

Ladi also learned that Arda was threatened by the Kent family in the neighboring territory, but Earl Graman never showed any panic. Is this the power he relies on?

The cannon on the port side fired three rounds in a row before stopping.

Austin ordered loudly: "Check the hull!"

This is the salvo of two cannons. If the ship is damaged, it will be bad. This means that the Hope is a failure.

"Everything is normal in the bottom cabin!"

"Everything is normal on the front deck!"

...

As the reports came one after another, everyone's hanging hearts were relieved.

Austin handed the telescope to Paul, and the Earl carefully observed the situation on the rock wall.

"This power should be enough to deal with the fragile ships of the pirates." The Navy Commander confirmed.

Paul remembered something, he turned to look at Hansel, but saw that the head of the Ministry of Agriculture was in a very bad state.

Hansel looked frightened and held a railing tightly with his hands. He saw Paul looking at him and said with a sad face: "Sorry, this is the first time in my life to go out to sea by ship."

"Oh, Mr. Director, we are not going out to sea yet, but just wandering around the port."

"How about you wait a few more days, and when everything is ready, take the Hope to the south?"

Hansel waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, I'll go south by land this time. I dare not delay Lord Graman's business."

The laughter of the crowd rang out on the deck.
