Popular science physics, teach a magic god?

"[Flying Thunder Cannon]..." The emperor repeated this word as if sleepwalking.

Not to mention him, even the ministers and generals who came to watch with him savored the word carefully.

Most of the people present were military experts, and they could see at a glance that the torpedo was much better than the cannon. This is not to say that the cannon has been completely replaced, but that its usage is completely different.

As soon as this thing is launched, you can clearly see that the trajectory is crooked. It is the kind of thing that just sends explosives into the sky, and the hit depends on the sky. The gameplay is also shown. Either you don't use it. Once you use it, you have to rely on quantity to make up for the lack of shooting accuracy.

This is still true!

The main structure of the thunder cannon is a tin barrel. It weighs about 40 kilograms and does not exceed 50 kilograms including the bracket. If it were not for its large size, a farmer could easily carry it.

Today, the mainstream artillery in the world is still a cannon that fires solid iron pellets. Due to poor craftsmanship, in order to prevent the barrel from exploding, the barrel must be cast very thick, regardless of whether it is made of cast copper or cast iron. Cannons are very Some of the cannons weighed less than a thousand kilograms, and two pack horses were required to pull the cannon.

The plains are okay, but once they encounter rugged terrain, or the plains freeze or even turn to mud, then forget about using cannons in field battles. Because even luck can't get through it.

The black soil in the five northern provinces is very fertile, and the mud in winter and spring is also very destructive. Not to mention cannons, even heavy ballistae are difficult to transport.

In this environment, the orcs, who had almost no equipment and were running around the world barefoot, took advantage.

In the cold wind of winter, knowing that human arrows would be greatly weakened, the orcs who had run out of food went crazy and attacked Barbarossa's pioneer settlement all day long.

In conflicts, humans lack long-range weapons to reduce the number of orcs in advance, and often have to fall into a meat grinder-style war of attrition, which is very detrimental to humans.

This is why Barbarossa always wanted to form a Order of Mages. Because Master Fa can give the army the greatest long-range firepower support in this situation to fight against the trolls on the orc side.

Now that Ren had taken out such a powerful weapon without saying a word, the emperor and the knight leaders were moved.

The emperor asked: "Can this thing be used in cold weather?"

The emperor was afraid that this kind of artillery, like a bowstring, would become useless if it was too cold or too wet.

"Yes. As long as the barrel of the gun is cleaned and the fuse is taken care of, it can be used in snow. It just won't work if it rains." Margaret replied.

"That's not bad." A knight leader exclaimed sincerely.

[Heartless Cannon] During the War of Liberation, it was actually a bit embarrassing. Because the range is too short, only 150 to 300 meters. At this distance, it can even be hit by most rifles and machine guns, and there is no advantage in range.

But this is the world of Kaos where cold weapons are the mainstay and magic is the supplement!

Extraordinary people don’t count! Most archers draw their bows and shoot until they vomit blood and cannot shoot more than 100 meters. To ensure the lethality, the range of bows and arrows is only about 50 meters. The two-handed crossbow arrows used by crossbowmen have a range of no more than 150 meters.

The range of mages in the world of Kaos generally does not exceed 50 meters. Even the [Electromagnetic Gun] mage trained by Renn (an official mage with thunder and lightning specialization not exceeding level 5) has a range of just over 100 meters.

There is black powder in this world, and almost everything is readily available.

The emperor asked the last question: "Is this thing productive? How long does it take to train a team of gunners?"

Margaret definitely did her homework and answered all the questions almost instantly: "It can be mass-produced with a group of gunners. The smarter ones can master it in two days. The dumber ones can master it in a week. The only problem is the production of black powder." .”

This answer made the emperor and the knight leaders stunned.

Looking at the artillery crew at work, what they are doing is no different from cannons.

After an explosive package is blasted out, the cleaner takes a water-soaked mop and shoves it into the gun barrel to clean out any remaining black powder. Then the loader puts a certain amount of propellant into it, then puts a backing plate, and finally puts in the explosive package and fuse.

When everything is ready, the gunner holding a torch lights the fuse, and the [Heartless Cannon] blasts out according to the preset angle, generally landing in the designated area, causing damage.

The whole process only takes three to five minutes.

This ability to deliver firepower means that [Thunder Cannon], a large-scale explosion, is likely to change the entire war model.

The emperor pondered for a while: "Thank you for the support of the Physics School. I will discuss it behind closed doors with the ministers and group leaders before making a reply."

Everyone looked at Margaret very strangely.

Obviously the female knight should be regarded as a staunch knight, so why did she become a representative of the physics school?

In the emperor's closed-door meeting, there was actually nothing to discuss. Everyone had a positive attitude toward the [Flying Thunder Cannon]. The only question was how much investment was needed, and whether it was necessary to conduct actual combat exercises before investing resources on a large scale.

After seeing off the knight leaders, the emperor slumped on the throne and asked worriedly to his palace minister: "What do you mean by Mr. Tesla bringing out such a battlefield killer at this time? "

This thing is not magical at all, at best it can be related to alchemy.

The palace minister hesitated for a long time and hesitated: "Maybe he has already discovered the matter. Let us speak out ourselves. This is the last dignity for us."

The emperor was silent for a long time before speaking: "His mercy is limited. We don't want to be dignified, and his thunderous wrath will make us dignified. Send an envoy over to admit your mistake. It's not our fault. Anyway, we can't offend anyone. rise."

"yes……"

The next morning, when Ren summoned the envoy and listened to the envoy's explanation, he was confused.

no! etc!

Why was it that I was so happy that I gave Margaret a [heartless cannon] as a gift, and how did it get involved in such a big mess?

"Barbarossa XIII is willing to bear any anger from your Excellency. Please also forgive me. The secular government has no power to resist in the face of divine power." The envoy said this while kneeling.

Rain's balls hurt.

No wonder when I was first screening disciples a while ago, I couldn't find any of them who were qualified to be inner disciples. Their luck was stolen by various sects - those guys actually used my dragon skin test strips to find civilians with magical powers, and then Directly intervene and abduct good seedlings to other sects.

Basically, all major sects related to the legal system participated.

Sects such as the Church of Light and the Knights, which mainly focus on the kitchen knife profession, remain neutral on this matter.

These major sects have been entrenched in various countries for hundreds of years, even thousands of years. This kind of firmly established divine organization cannot be shaken by a mere emperor.

In other words, in the past one hundred years, all the gods had been in darkness and divine power had not been revealed, so that the emperor seemed to have truly gained power.

The real situation is, how can the emperor dare to offend these magic stick organizations that secretly and openly have a dozen legendary strong men who swear to serve?

The reason why he was able to expose this matter was entirely because of Ren's fancy 'manifestation' and his extreme strength.

Although there were ten thousand words of MMP in Ren's mind that he didn't want to say out loud, but when the words came to his lips, the thousands of words turned into one extremely inscrutable: "I got it."
