Chapter 558 Shells with shells, the maximum range is sixty miles!
A large amount of turf was thrown off, and mud and rocks splashed up to a height of more than ten and 20 meters above the ground!
Violent explosion!
Qian Fei'er's figure retreated violently from the center of the explosion, flew upside down for a certain distance, and was directly knocked to the ground by the powerful shock wave.
At this moment, the mud and rocks from the sky fell down.
"boom!"
All the mud and rocks fell, and a large amount of mud and rocks directly buried Qian Fei'er, the first empress of the Wuhun Empire, alive.
Of course, this could not cause any harm to the King of Angels, who had been on guard for a long time. In just a moment, there was only a "bang!", amidst the mud and rocks, Qian Fei'er's charming figure reappeared on the surface .
Standing on the ground, Qian Fei'er laughed wildly.
"Hahahaha, I finally made nitroglycerin! Hahahaha!"
Nitroglycerin, a high explosive developed in modern times, contains much less energy than black powder, but because the reaction in a short period of time is more violent, the power of the explosion is far greater than that of black powder!
Nitroglycerin is very dangerous, and it will explode when slightly shaken or concussed. Just like Qianfeier just now, an accident happened.
If she hadn't responded and defended, otherwise, the No. 1 empress of the Wuhun Empire would have a halo on her head, die in situ, and her soul would ascend to heaven in a 360-degree spiral.
After successfully making the nitroglycerin, Qian Fei'er touched her chin with one hand, her beautiful willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she pondered slightly.
The power of this nitroglycerin is indeed astonishing, but it is also too dangerous. Let alone killing the enemy, even transporting and storing it is extremely difficult. I am afraid that even if the enemy cannot be hit, it will blow itself up to death.
How should this be done?
Well, it seems that we have to continue to experiment and add other additives to make it stable...
Qian Fei'er stretched her eyebrows and made a decision.
After that, Qian Feier did not go to the morning court for a month in a row, and all the government affairs were left to the prime minister. He carried out the stability test of nitroglycerin all day long, and kept adding various reagents to the nitroglycerin in an attempt to keep its power undiminished, but it became more stable.
The Prime Minister recorded in the later history books: Her Majesty the Queen neglected government affairs and was obsessed with the development of various explosives all day long.
Finally, after more than a month and nearly a thousand experiments...
Wuhun Empire, outside Tiandou City, autumn, shooting range outside Tiandou City, morning.
Qian Fei'er was standing behind a sandbag, and across the sandbag was a small flat table, on which the prepared nitroglycerin was placed.
Qian Fei'er propped up a shield of soul power, scooped up a small spoonful of algae brown soil with a small iron spoon in her slender hands, carefully, concentrated, and gently put it into the glass beaker filled with nitroglycerin.
Don't explode, don't explode...
Qian Fei'er muttered silently in her heart.
Fortunately, after the soil-like substance was put in, the nitroglycerin didn't react at all. Fortunately, Qian Fei'er was not overturned by the violent explosion shock wave as usual, and was buried alive again.
On the desktop, the bottle of nitroglycerin with a pungent sour taste became cloudy due to the addition of earthy substances, and then there was no other change.
Qian Fei'er took a step back, took out a small iron rod from her soul guide bracelet, set it a little far away, and gently poked the beaker, causing the nitroglycerin to shake slightly.
It's going to explode!
Qian Fei'er quickly lowered her body, hugged her ears with both hands, and opened the soul defense cover to the maximum, ready to resist the impending tyrannical impact!
but……
After two seconds, nothing happened.
Ok?
Qian Fei'er stood up in surprise, and opened her eyes slightly in surprise.
She stepped forward again, boldly picked up the beaker with her jade-like right hand, and shook it with a little force.
As soon as it changed, Qian Fei'er turned her head, tightly closed her squinted eyes, and opened the soul power shield to the maximum again, for fear of being injured.
She has been bombed many times in a row for more than a month, and every time she is bombed, her face is ashamed and she is afraid of being bombed!
Now, she didn't want to be blown up by this high explosive at all.
Fortunately, the nitroglycerin was shaken gently in the beaker, but there was no violent reaction and no explosion.
Um?Could it be... a success? !
Qian Fei'er turned her head in disbelief, and opened her eyes, which were full of surprises!
She tried to increase her strength, and even threw the nitroglycerin directly, but the nitroglycerin didn't explode. It was not until she lit it with a small match that the nitroglycerin reacted violently and exploded on the spot!
"boom--!"
All the sandbags shaken by the powerful shock wave were dumped and scattered, because the distance was a bit far away, this time, Qian Fei'er was not buried alive.
Qian Fei'er stood up from behind the sandbag, her face was full of excitement and excitement!
Finally, success!
So far, Qian Feier has finally successfully produced a safe high explosive, and more than a month later, she has also successfully developed a smokeless yellow powder that replaces black powder as a primer.
From this day on, Wuhun Empire began to manufacture [-]mm caliber machine guns on a large scale, and at the same time greatly improved the original aircraft, from propeller aircraft to jet fighters.
Northern part of Wuhun Empire, outside Tiandou City, shooting range, afternoon.
It is now September, and because it is located in the north, the weather has become a bit chilly. Although it is still daytime, many pedestrians and soldiers have begun to put on coats and two pieces of clothing to keep warm.
At one part of the shooting range, Qian Fei'er, who had long golden hair and squinted eyes, and Ning Fengzhi, who was elegant and easy-going, with a straight nose and square mouth, stood behind a huge cannon.
The artillery barrel is [-] meters long, plus the barrel and gun mount, the total length is more than ten meters!
Wuhun Empire 150 [-]mm standard artillery!
It's just that, compared with the original 150mm gun, the gun carriage of the current gun is slightly larger, and there is no fire hole or sliding cover on it, and instead there is an extra shutter.
The gate is set inside and outside, and it seems to be pulled outside. There is a ring at the outermost end, connected to a long rope more than seven meters long, which seems to be used for dragging.
Looking inward through the gate, you can see that there are two powerful and huge springs near the entrance of the gate. From the looks of it, it is estimated that it will pop in and bounce back to its original position after pulling it.
And beside the artillery, there is a large box... Huge shells!
Different from the previous grenades, this time, the shells in these large wooden boxes are larger, and the warheads remain the same as before. A huge cylindrical metal object is added behind the buttocks, which becomes longer and has a larger cross-sectional area. big.
At this moment, Qian Fei'er walked to the back of the artillery, opened the barrel, and then used her great strength to pick up a huge shell and stuff it into the back of the barrel.
After plugging it in, she closed the barrel and adjusted the elevation angle to 45 degrees.
45-degree elevation angle, the elevation angle of the longest range of all projectile weapons, increasing or decreasing the elevation angle at this angle will reduce the range.
Getting ready, Qian Fei'er turned her head to look at Ning Fengzhi who was following her, and smiled slightly.
"Sect Master Ning, protect your ears."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded in response, then used his soul power to protect his ears, and then covered them with both hands.
Next door to Ning Fengzhi, Jian Douluo, who was following and protecting him, also protected his ears, but the difference was that Jian Douluo relied on his own soul power and didn't use his hands, but purely used soul power.
Qian Fei'er looked at the two people, smiled lightly, covered her ears with her soul power, grabbed the seven-meter-long rope with her slender hands, pulled it with a little force!
"boom--!"
The whole ground seemed to be shaken. After the artillery, the two forked supports directly supported the mud behind it, splashing out for several meters!
At the same time, the entire huge artillery jumped from the ground, except for the bracket, and even the two rubber tires left the ground!
At the same time, the barrel of the cannon shrank violently, the air around the muzzle was violently turbulent like water waves, and a phantom that was completely invisible flew out.
In the back, a valve on the rear of the breech side opened, and a huge metal shell rolled out, still steaming hot.
Ning Fengzhi, who was standing a little further behind, looked at the metal shell, and saw that the metal shell was in the shape of a cylinder, with an opening at the front and a seal at the back. The exterior and interior were very smooth.
Ning Fengzhi was very curious, looked at Qian Fei'er, and asked.
"Is this Her Majesty's improved ammunition? Compared with the previous grenade, the gunpowder is sealed inside this cylinder, right?"
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has become the royal guard sect of the Wuhun Empire in recent years, and Ning Fengzhi also often visits the Armory Workshop to learn some knowledge about artillery.
In front of Ning Fengzhi, Qian Feier smiled lightly and shook her head.
"No, of course it's more than that. This is a new addition to the 'cartridge'. In addition to the changes in the outer shell, there are also changes in the inside."
"Oh? What is it?"
Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.
Qian Fei'er had a look of mystery on her face, she put a jade-like index finger in her right hand in front of her mouth, and gestured.
"Hush, keep it secret, Sect Master Ning will find out later."
Qian Fei'er didn't say anything, Ning Fengzhi was aroused interest, but in view of Qian Fei'er's identity as empress and his own face, Ning Fengzhi didn't press the question any further, he frowned slightly, then relaxed it, and smiled gently.
"Hehe, then I will wait here, waiting for Her Majesty the Empress to give me a surprised expression."
Qian Fei'er chuckled again, noncommittal.
After a pause, a flying soul master flew from the distant sky, landed in front of Qian Fei'er, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists, and saluted respectfully.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the artillery grenade flew just sixty miles away. Because it was a grassland, it missed or injured anyone, and hit the wilderness."
Beside Qian Fei'er, Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened in an instant, staring like a bell!
"Sixty miles? Such an exaggeration? Are you mistaken?! Hiss—!"
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, really couldn't believe it.
But on the other side, Qian Feier understood something.
Sixty miles?It's not bad, it should be that the shell case is closed so that the energy of the gunpowder inside the shell does not leak out, and the yellow gunpowder is more powerful.
