[Chapter 731 Mortars and Thorium Bombs]
Five days later, outside the barracks.
Miss Queen brought all the necromancers, Madeleine, Barry, a large group of black knights, wind knights, and the heads of the major demihuman legions to a small hillside outside the camp.
Everyone looked at Robb’s new weapon.
Robb had a Thorium bomb in his hand…
It wasn’t from Aujin. After he had a good deal with the Queen, the Queen sent people hundreds of thousands of hurricanes to dig a few large pieces of Thorium ore from the valley, using the fastest The speed was smelted into thorium ingots, and then mixed with ruby powder that can amplify and accommodate the magic of fire. Finally, according to Robb’s request, a thorium bomb that could be filled with magic was made.
Robb’s two-line operation secretly moved mortars from Westwind Town, and the Thorium bomb has just been completed here, so the configuration is all lively.
This made the dwarves in the family happy. They finally didn’t need to use the newly smelted Aojin to make bombs. They were so happy that they hugged the Aojin ingot and cried bitterly.
The queen brought a pack of people and watched Robb prop up a strange cylinder on the ground. This cylinder is really not big, the volume and weight that a single soldier can carry, and the materials used to make it are obviously not very good. It seems to be a cylinder made of steel.
Robb filled it with gunpowder, just as the dwarf cannon was about to fire.
Seeing this point, the generals who often deal with dwarf artillery have actually guessed what Robb is going to do.
They whispered: “It seems that the principle of this thing is not complicated. It is to use a technique similar to the dwarf artillery to shoot the bomb out.”
“No wonder it uses Thorium to make the shell! It won’t break when the gun is fired, but if the shell is made of steel, the bomb will break the moment the gun is fired.”
“Is only Thorium hard enough to withstand the impact of firing?”
“I think, Mithril should do it too!”
“Hey, that one is too expensive to die.”
“These are the materials for making artifacts. I urge you to be kind.”
Such discussions were whispered among the generals.
Miss Queen actually understood the principle of this thing from the very beginning. It’s very simple, no need to explain nonsense. The question now is how strong the actual combat effect of this thing is.
The advantages and disadvantages of dwarf artillery, everyone here is very clear, the cannonball cannot climb over the city wall, it will be blocked by the strong and tall city wall, and it will not hurt the enemies behind the city wall. The gate or the city wall, blast a big hole in the city gate or city wall, and the soldiers can take the opportunity to attack.
I saw that after Rob set up the iron cylinder, he gestured for a long time, as if he was aiming, and he was still talking about the inclination angle, the wind direction and the wind speed, etc.
The generals couldn’t help but whisper again: “It seems that we need to learn a lot to use this gun.” ”
It has something to do with mathematics?”
, I don’t understand. It’s too complicated, just aim at something, just beat it.”
Everyone: “Fake, are you really going to beat? Then aim for a fart.”
Robb took out the Thorium bomb and put it in the cylinder He threw it inside, then lit the fuse under the cylinder and ran away, covering his ears.
This kind of mortar is obviously not the same as the mortar of later generations, but it doesn’t matter, Robb is also messing around anyway, as long as he can throw the Thorium bomb a few miles away, no matter what the principle is, it doesn’t matter. reliable.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the fuze, watching it burn, thinking silently in their hearts: This bomb was made from a large piece of Thorium. If this thing is useless, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely die of anger.
Miss Queen is actually just as nervous!
For her poor, that piece of Thorium is a lot of money, and she must not fail…
“Boom!” The
fuze was burned, and the mortar fired…
If it was the excellent, scientific mortar of the original world The gun fired, at most it ended with a puff of smoke, but the mortar made by the dwarves was too explosive. After firing, the shells flew out, but the cylinder itself blew up and smashed at the generals. Come.
A gust of wind knight stood relatively forward and was almost hit by the cylinder, so he quickly flashed sideways. The knight behind raised his shield and blocked it with a loud sound, but the knight’s hand bowl was shaken. tingling.
A group of people sweated: “Hey, did this weapon hit your own people?”
Someone shouted: “Where’s the cannonball? Where did the cannonball go?” “The cannonball
has gone! Listen to the sound.”
“The sound of a cannonball piercing the air, all raised their heads to see where the cannonball was, but they couldn’t actually see it. After a short interval, there was a sound of “Boom” on the hillside more than two miles away. Thorium The bomb fell.
This Thorium bomb is filled with the “explosive technique” cast by an ordinary flame magician, so the power of the explosion is not very large, and it does not feel so shocking when it explodes two miles away. The guys only saw a flash of fire from two miles away, that’s all, and then it was gone.
However, the range of this gun really startled everyone.
“It’s too far!”
“It’s too far.”
“My God! This distance is about the same as the distance when the enemy sprayed poisonous fog on our fort that day.”
“The longer the distance, the more strategic level!”
There was a slight smile on the queen’s face. She was very satisfied with this distance. Although the explosion technique just now was too scumbag, it was just a random explosion technique of experimental nature. When it was put into mass production, it would definitely be in it. Put on a powerful real explosion technique, and that’s awesome.
At that time, it was two miles away, and Mundra was devastated by the explosion, which was very beautiful after thinking about it.
Just as she was thinking of this, she heard Robb laugh: “Don’t panic, everyone is far apart, and you haven’t seen the real power of the explosion yet, walk over and take a look at the explosion site. Let me tell you, The damage of the explosion is actually secondary, the real power is the shrapnel!”
No one understands this sentence, but when everyone walked two miles and came to the center of the explosion, they finally understood what Robb said. the meaning of the words.
Several big trees around the explosion site were hit by Thorium shrapnel, which made one big hole after another. From this side, you could see through the one on the opposite side. There were also many deep holes on the mountain wall next to it. Cut from Thorium shards.
Thorium is extremely sharp, and cutting stones is like cutting tofu. Everyone dug into the mountain wall to a depth of half a yard, but they were unable to dig out the thorium fragments. After digging for nearly two yards, they finally found the embedded mountain wall. of Thorium.
A general couldn’t help his face change color: “If this thing explodes around me, I’m afraid I can’t stop it with a shield, and the shield will be penetrated in an instant.”
