Meanwhile, the pioneering caravan in the bonded zone erupted in excitement. Whether they were Dai-Yuan merchants, Japanese warriors, or Korean laborers, they all waved their arms excitedly, expressing their ecstatic joy to the three Dai-Yuan ships.
Without the slightest hesitation, A101 and A102 lowered their sails halfway, opened their gun ports, and sped close to the shore, revealing their sharp fangs.
"Boom... Boom... Boom"
The three decks housed hundreds of cannons ranging from sixteen to thirty-two pounds, which fired continuously at a pre-designed frequency, spewing thick smoke onto the sea surface, creating the effect of fireworks for the appearance of a villainous demon.
The natives on the dock had hair that looked like the hair on a vagrant's head, all tangled up in a messy ball, dancing and twisting like grass in the sea breeze.
The gunfire of the first-class warship, Dai-Yuan, was like a comb, with more than two hundred cannons on the two ships being more than two hundred comb teeth, combing through that clump of hair.
This explosive scene left not only Pulami speechless, but also Elami, Allen's confidant, watching with bated breath.
Can a hundred cannons be concentrated in a space of a hundred meters or so on land? That's definitely not possible, but a first-class warship with three decks can achieve that firepower density.
Qin Mo led the design of a large steel plant that produced iron cannons with better toughness, replacing the more expensive bronze cannons.
It's not that high-ranking officials couldn't afford bronze cannons. Bronze cannons have high density and good toughness. Cannons that can withstand the same amount of gunpowder power are actually lighter when cast in bronze, and they are less likely to explode, making them safer.
However, the only weakness of bronze-level characters led to their numerous retirements.
Bronze cannons heat up too quickly during continuous firing, and the high temperature can cause the barrel to soften and deform.
This weakness of bronze cannons was not particularly prominent during the era of muzzle-loading cannons, but as the artillery of the Da Yuan dynasty began to be completely replaced, breech-loading cannons with a rate of fire several times faster became the main force, and the demise of bronze cannons was inevitable.
The two first-class ships fired simultaneously for a full ten minutes before turning around and pointing their other sides toward the shore, and began to roar again.
Once the cannons reached a dangerously high temperature, the gunners, caught up in the heat of the moment, had no choice but to stop firing, leaving the dock neatly "organized" by them.
However, what they were combing was no longer hair, but corpses.
"Ugh...ugh..."
The caravan members in the bonded zone were thrilled when the shelling first started, but after only half an hour, they all began to vomit, even bringing up bile.
The smell of blood was overwhelming, and the scene was horrific. Intestines and excrement were scattered everywhere, a truly vivid sight!
“Prometheus, we need to go back to Da Yuan. We need to talk to Allen about the details of our cooperation again!” Debbie didn’t vomit. She smelled the strong smell of blood on the sea breeze, and her eyes actually lit up with excitement.
“It’s no use. Allen can’t make decisions about this kind of ‘firepower.’ Qin Mo has to give his approval first. We need to go to Rome now, not Dayuan!” Promi muttered as he watched the two huge warships swaying and approaching the bonded area.
“You’re right, we should go find that kid. He took advantage of my daughter, he’ll pay the price!” Debbie said through gritted teeth.
Prome covered his face with his hands, turned around, and went into the cabin; he simply couldn't listen anymore.
Wasn't Qin Mo's price enough? Shia is already a super-level powerhouse!
