Chapter 551 Chapter 551: Electromagnetic Cannon
Gwenaville rubbed her hands together and kicked Nigel, telling him to go over and explain.
Nigel said with a wry smile on his face: "Lord Lord! The smokeless gunpowder is still a little short, just give us a few more days."
No matter how bad it was, Aslan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the overall performance of the Merlot crossbow was not as good as that of a revolver.
"How powerful is this electromagnetic gun?" Aslan finally turned his attention to the electromagnetic gun again.
Gwennaville suddenly said excitedly: "That's amazing, we are planning to launch it to try."
Although Aslan didn't like a certain attribute of Gwenaville, he still liked this cheap daughter who helped him a lot, especially her cute appearance.
Holding Gwennaville in his arms, several magic researchers rushed over to help push the electromagnetic cannon out, and several researchers carried a few energy crystals.
Aiming the muzzle at the mountain peak opposite the Melo Dam, a team of researchers quickly assembled.
The cannon mount was opened, and there were two energy crystal pillars on each side, and there were wires connecting them together at the bottom.
Aslan watched all this seriously, especially when they took out a 75mm caliber shell, he became thoughtful.
The shells are the same as normal shells, only longer, and there is no priming behind them.
Gwenaville seemed to see Aslan's doubts, raised her head and said, "Dad, this is the latest grenade I have researched, except for the solid part of the warhead, all the others are equipped with explosive crystals and iron pieces. "
Aslan asked curiously.
"Then how do you let it explode on its own?"
"Simple, I made a spring confidence on the warhead, as long as the shell hits the ground, it can easily detonate the grenade. Magic is really a convenient thing." Gwennaville sighed after finishing speaking.
Aslan also nodded in agreement.
The researcher opened the loading compartment, pushed the grenade in, and then locked the hatch, but adjusted the direction according to the designated target.
"The coordinates have been adjusted."
"Start charging."
The four magic crystal pillars glowed quickly, and at the same time injected energy into the electromagnetic gun. A scale-like thing on the left side of the electromagnetic gun lit up and was charging rapidly.
This process takes about ten seconds, plus the adjustment of ammunition, the whole process takes about 30 seconds. This is also the reason why the researchers are not professional enough. If it is replaced by a well-trained artillery, it should be able to complete the launch in about 20 seconds.
When the ruler was full of energy, a researcher ran over to pull the cannon rope. Gwenaville quickly covered her ears and buried herself in Aslan's arms.
Aslan felt that this girl was taking advantage of him, but he had no proof.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and a yellow light flashed away.
Aslan subconsciously turned his head to look at Nomiri, and asked curiously, "Can you see it?"
Nuomiri nodded without much hesitation and said, "I can see clearly!"
"Can it be avoided?" Aslan asked again.
At this moment, Nuomiri thought for a while before answering: "If you are prepared, you can avoid it."
Aslan was speechless. Is the great mentor so strong? He was able to dodge shells.
A terrifying giant crater appeared on the mountain that was hit, but the effect was impossible to achieve with 75mm shells. Some people believed that it was blasted out by 100mm howitzers.
Aslan didn't have time to be surprised, his face darkened, and he raised Gwenaville with both hands, just in time to see her drooling, and it all flowed into Aslan's collar.
Seeing that Gwennaville had fallen asleep, Normiri took it subconsciously. Aslan swore that he had just seen Gwenaville's eyelids blink.
Nigel danced with excitement.
"Success! Success! The power of the grenade is as terrifying as expected."
Aslan rolled his eyes directly, he understood that the grenade does not need propellant, so the entire shell is a grenade, although the caliber is 75mm, but the charge inside is more than 100mm, plus the stability of the explosive crystal The energy produced by the explosion is several times that of the Earth's C4.
If it is more powerful, it can catch up with the 150mm heavy artillery.
Aslan nodded in satisfaction, and said decisively.
"Putting the electromagnetic gun into production as soon as possible, I don't care what method you use, first produce 20 for me in the early stage."
Nicolton had a bitter look on his face.
The production of the electromagnetic gun is not difficult. The real trouble is the engraving of the magic circuit. It takes less than half a month to produce and assemble a Nigel electromagnetic gun, but it takes at least one month to engrave the magic circuit.
"What's the maximum range?" Aslan asked again.
"Fifteen kilometers." Nigel said very confidently.
Aslan couldn't help laughing.
"Not bad!"
This distance can catch up with the domestic D30 122mm howitzer.
Suddenly, Nigel remembered the gadgets he and Gwenaville made a few days ago, and quickly took them out.
It was a G43 magic wand.
It's just that the appearance is slightly different from the G43 magic spear stick used by the magician. There is no mind control line connected to the magician, but an extra cylindrical plug-in device.
Aslan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but smile in surprise.
"My lord! This is a transformation based on Gwenaville's suggestion. They don't need to shoot magic attacks like the magic guides, they just need to shoot the bullets." Nigel's words made Aslan wake up.
Aslan took the new rifle and studied it. It turned out to be an air gun, not an electromagnetic gun.
The magic circuit of the air cannon is much simpler than that of the electromagnetic cannon, but the power is also very different.
It's just used for ordinary soldiers' battles, and it still has good lethality for soldiers without fighting spirit armor.
"Is it difficult to produce?" Aslan said seriously.
Nigel shook his head, pointed to the magic circuit of the air cannon, and said, "The only troublesome part is that other accessories can already be produced mechanically in Merlot City."
Aslan nodded, picked up the air cannon rifle and fired a few rounds, which was no less powerful than the smokeless gunpowder rifle.
"The cost is a bit more expensive than a single-shot breech-loading rifle."
After some calculation, Nigel said, "The key price is the inscription on the magic circuit. As for other accessories, the ones in Merlot City are actually cheaper."
The price Aslan mentioned was not the price at which the Maxim Empire sold it, but the price estimated based on the industrial strength of Merlot City after disassembly and analysis.
In fact, the price of each revolver is less than one gold coin, and the price of a single-shot breech-loading rifle is less than two gold coins, which shows how dark the Maxim Empire is.
Aslan nodded, although the cost may be cheaper than the revolver rifle, but the restriction and the engraving of the magic circuit, the output has not been able to increase
