Chapter 254 252 Test Firing the Third Generation Artillery

Accompanying Wilder was a deputy chief of the munitions department, a refined middle-aged man named Kerim.

"Your Majesty, the official test firing of this third-generation artillery has not yet been carried out. Do you think you want to give it a try?"

Wilde hadn't told anyone except himself about his idea of ​​building an artillery army. Hearing Kerim's words at this time, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, "Quite."

"Where are we going to test fire?" Kerim is not a combatant, so he still needs to ask others for advice on these things.

"I'll ask Bais to come over and ask them." Wilder didn't know too much about this aspect. After speaking, he immediately called Bais, Claire and others.

Not long after, Bai Si, Claire, and Xiu, the minister who had abdicated from the Ministry of Education and took charge of many state affairs, rushed over.

The main reason why Wilder wanted to call them over was because he planned to talk to them about the artillery unit later. After all, some problems that he didn't think of might be thought of by others.

After a few people came over, Kerim introduced the third-generation artillery and the test firing to them. After hearing this, Baiston became excited, and he couldn't put it down. The others were extremely speechless.

"Boss, why don't you try shooting in the rocky area in the north, just enough to level those rocks, and you can use them for construction or planting in the future." After touching the goods, Bai Si reluctantly withdrew his hand and turned to suggested.

Everyone, including Wilder, looked at him strangely when he heard this. Facing everyone's eyes, Bais was a little puzzled but also a little cautious, "You...why are you looking at me like that?"

Claire covered her mouth and smiled, "Bais, I didn't expect you to think of these things in your mind, not bad."

"Hehehe..." Bai Si scratched his head embarrassingly, and said with a smirk, "This...isn't this from the old university?"

This ass is shot...

Everyone looked at him speechlessly.

Wilder shook his head and smiled, "Okay, then, according to Bais's words, the location of the test firing is set in the rocky area."

"Hmm!" Everyone nodded in response, and then a group of people from the Munitions Department pushed the third-generation artillery covered with black cloth and drove to the destination in a carriage.

During this process, Wilder called several important departments such as the scientific research department and asked them to come over to watch the test launch. A group of people walked around the employees of the ordnance department, and the surrounding area was closely guarded by members of the war department. Personnel from the Supervision Department kept an eye out for any suspicious persons, and Xiu called to inform the people below to evacuate the people near the test site.

The whole process was orderly and extremely strict, not even a fly would dare to fly in.

And all these are changes after the system reform.

Wilder walked at the forefront, and besides Claire, he was followed by the heads of several departments. These heads were all existences with little combat power, ranging from the scientific research department, the arms department, and the engineering department to the small Other logistical parts involving all aspects.

Coincidentally, this time, there were two deputy directors of the scientific research department who followed Wilder, and both of them had similar experiences. One was Jesse, and the other was Caesar.

Jesse has been honest since he was beaten up by Wilder and imprisoned for a period of time. He is responsible for the manufacture of the machine gun. Since then, he has also devoted himself to scientific research, conscientiously, and has completely integrated into the working environment of Zeguo. In addition, he himself is a scientific madman. Although his personality and temperament have restrained a bit after that, the love of science in his heart has not changed.

Not to mention Caesar, the heart is still in Wilder's hands. He was a little bit resentful when he was thrown into the scientific research department in fear, but after a while, he found that he fell in love with this place completely. This kind of working environment is simply amazing. One of the best stays he has ever had in his life!
Moreover, the king is still such a supporter of science. There are many scientific colleagues around him, who speak nicely and have great technology. All of them are talents. Caesar likes this place very much now.

Wilder walked in front, but he could clearly perceive everything behind him. Everything, sounds, breaths, and images were all presented in his mind.

The third-generation artillery is a powerful weapon of the country, and he will never allow any forces that may infiltrate to know about it.

Simply Zeguo has always done a good job of investigating this aspect, and with the secret existence of the Ministry of Supervision, it will not be easy for powerful forces to infiltrate Zeguo.

In addition, fortresses integrating attack and monitoring have been set up on the coast around Zeguo, and any foreign forces will be discovered as soon as they enter. The main coastline has been covered.

It is not so easy for the enemy to pass through other places that are not covered, because those places are located behind the windless belt, which means that the enemy needs to bypass the front line that may be discovered and bring in from the rear without wind. Not only is the journey too long, but it is also too dangerous, and it is an act that is not worth the candle.

"Jesse, Caesar."

Jesse and Caesar, who were walking beside Wilder, were taken aback when they heard Wilder's words suddenly in their ears, and quickly turned their heads to look at him.

Wilder's "line of sight" was fixed on the carriage pulling the third-generation artillery behind him, and while walking thoughtfully, he said, "Is there any way for you to create a vehicle that can travel fast? Instead of a carriage."

"Huh?" Jesse and Caesar's eyes widened at the same time when they heard this, and they looked at each other, seeing the excitement in each other's eyes, "Boss, this is a good idea! Why didn't I think of making such a thing before?" ?”

"Don't worry, boss, this shouldn't be difficult, just leave it to me!" Jessie rolled his eyes and hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing a haughty and submissive arc.

Caesar sneered when he heard this, "Hey! Just leave it to me! It just so happens that the project I'm working on recently has been completed, and... what I make is definitely the best! Jesse, Ben The uncle recognizes your scientific ability, but you are ten years earlier than this peerless genius!"

Jesse's haughty eyes glanced over in an instant, Caesar was not to be outdone, and the two sides felt a sense of tit for tat.

However, the feeling of sympathy and sympathy between the rookie and the rookie was broken by Wilder, and each of them gave a violent shudder!
"This is just the first step. I want your research department, industry department, and arms department to set up such a project. Based on the power vehicle that replaces the horse-drawn carriage, you can develop combat vehicles, artillery vehicles, etc. Things should be done as a sequence of projects, not just the two of you."

"This..." Jesse, Caesar, and the personnel from the Ministry of Arms, the Ministry of Research, and the Ministry of Industry surrounding Wilder all looked at Wilder in shock when they heard this.

"Great! This idea...! This is definitely an invention that can overturn the world! Sure enough...! Only this kind of invention is worthy of my participation! Whoops!" Caesar opened his eyes excitedly, and put his hands on his hips , pointing to the sky with one hand, and laughing wildly and triumphantly.

"Heh... idiot." Jesse pushed his eyes arrogantly, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, showing a disdainful smile, "It's only me..."

"Shut up!" Xiu, who is the head of many departments, directly gave the two of them a critical blow!Immediately, a big bag was placed on the heads of the two of them.

"Damn it! You can actually be armed!" Caesar looked at Xiu in disbelief while covering his head.

Xiu lightly took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, glanced at him, and said seriously, "That's all."

After the farce, a group of people around wrote down Wilder's words, and when they were ready to go back, they started to make things related to the sequence.

Soon, a group of people arrived at their destination, the rocky area.

Everywhere you can see are huge rocks, or sharp stones the size of basketballs that roll randomly onto the flat ground.

Farther away is a stone wall, and it can be seen that those chaotic rocks rolled down from the stone wall.

"Let's get started." Wilder stood at the front, looking at the stone wall, and said lightly.

"Yes." The head of the munitions department greeted Bais, who nodded, and then directed the members of the war department to lift the third-generation artillery off the carriage and lined up on the ground.

There are fifteen in total, each with ten shells.

Loading is complete.

Adjust the center of gravity and aim at the designated huge stone in the rocky area.

Then it was operated by people from the Ministry of Arms, and the person in charge waved his hand, "Launch!"

Bang bang bang!Fifteen puffs of smoke and dust were raised on the spot, and a burst of flames erupted in the smoke and dust, followed by a sharp piercing sound.

There was a deafening loud noise from the rocky area in the distance, and the distance of 2000 meters was reached within a few breaths, and then fifteen huge mushroom clouds rose up in the rocky area!

Accompanied by the flickering flames in the thick smoke and the blazing high temperature rushing head-on, the huge stone like a giant was blasted into dozens of charred black pieces, which were thrown around!
Bang bang bang!
Without stopping, the next batch of shells will follow closely!Immediately, after ten batches of loud bangs, the smoke and dust cleared, and the rocky area was razed to the ground. Terrible air waves swept over, bringing dust from the rocks, and everyone was shocked for a moment. Come on.

"Gollum!"

Bai Si secretly swallowed his saliva, stared, and said in disbelief: "This... this kind of power..."

Except for the smug smiles on the faces of the people in the ordnance department, everyone else was also shocked by the terrifying power of the third-generation artillery.

"Not bad." Wilder spit out two words. Compared with other people, he was calmer. Although he was also shocked by the power of the third-generation artillery, he actually paid more attention to its other aspects. Some performance, this is what makes him most happy.

Such as launch speed, accuracy, and range.

As far as the artillery is concerned, there is no doubt that these three things, even including the power, these four things, Zeguo is enough to sweep the invincible opponents of all countries.

No one can hit the enemy with artillery from 2000 meters away!Except for the first-generation artillery sold by Zeguo to the navy, there is no artillery with a range of more than 500 meters on the market!
But Zeguo can do it!And there are infinite possibilities in the future!
Thinking of this, Wilder couldn't help feeling a surge of emotion, and he became more determined to build an artillery unit.

"One day, I will break the pattern of this world and establish a great cause! Use scientific concepts to build a powerful force and a country!"

Suppressing the fluctuation in his heart, Wilder turned his head and looked at the crowd, who couldn't help but stare at him.

Facing everyone's eyes, Wilder put his hands behind his back and said, "I have decided to form an artillery unit."

The plain voice made everyone's heart skip a beat. The artillery unit, for some reason, everyone heard a different flavor in it. They could understand the literal meaning of the artillery unit, but they felt that Wilder's words should be It's not that simple.

Bai Si first raised doubts, "Boss, we can understand this artillery unit, but... don't we already have it? Our ships, don't these already have members who specialize in artillery? We have used five of these Ten battleships have been tested, and everyone has seen the results, I agree with this idea, but since you have already proposed it, boss, it must not be that simple, so, this artillery unit...what is different?"

Bai Si's words made everyone nod in agreement, which is what they wanted to know.

It stands to reason that artillery has always been attached great importance to this aspect since Zeguo developed the artillery of Yuanchao, so if it is understood literally, Zeguo's artillery force has actually been established a long time ago.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Wilder shook his head.

"You are right. Our previous fifty warships were indeed equipped with powerful artillery, and they wiped out the enemy with artillery alone. This can indeed be called an artillery force."

"However, that can only be called a foundation. The artillery unit I mean is all-round! Let them form their own army! Large-scale! Enough to become the main force of Zeguo's external deterrent force! Not Standing on the boat is a group of "special forces" like you, and then watching other troops at the bottom who don't stop their guns!"

"I need a professional artillery unit that is orderly, directs where to fight, and operates a professional artillery unit! No matter whether they have personal combat power or not! A unit that can use artillery to exert its combat power!"

Wilder's words stunned everyone for a moment. Although they didn't understand what the so-called "special forces" were, they could hear that it was referring to the last time they stood on the boat without even moving their hands, and watched the people below firing cannons the whole time. Annihilated the enemy ship himself.

Of course, Wilder didn't mean to blame them. In fact, even he himself did the same thing in that operation, spending the whole process on the sidelines.

However, this just shows that the Zeguo artillery is powerful enough to change the world pattern!Just have enough scale!Sufficient flexibility and correct operability, coupled with the improvement of the ship, when the time comes to fire at a distance of several thousand meters, I am afraid that even the aunt who fights on a ship can't stand it!
