600 Chapter 600: Mortar

All this was seen by Arthur, but he was not worried at all.

Because Aslan is in a different world, it only takes a quarter of an hour to go back and forth.

I heard that the Duke of Medea went to another world with his self-proclaimed cultivation base. The maid of Nuomili was just sitting in the Medea Magic Tower. Able to act as a guard honestly.

It's just that Arthur didn't know that there was an undercurrent in the Sino Continent, especially in the Kingdom of Cleveland. The Maxim Empire had sent envoys to the northern provinces secretly.

At the same time, in an underground laboratory in Kyoto, the representatives of Yarong's family were almost in a group, plotting something. Among them, there was an old acquaintance of Aslan in this laboratory.

Kira Yamato.

In the end, Patrick made the decision, and the others also pressed their thumbprints of agreement.

"Everything you do is for the future of the Kingdom of Cleveland, and I'm proud of you." Kira said with a smile on her face.

If this matter was uttered by other nobles, it must be sacred and solemn, but when it was uttered from his mouth, it gave people an indescribably uncomfortable and strange feeling.

But none of the nobles present answered, but remained silent.

Kira made fun of himself, and engraved the contract above with magic. At the same time, everyone held the contract and rubbed this great scene with a magic crystal ball.

It's a pity that all this was so hidden that even the Royal Academy of Magic didn't notice it, and Aslan couldn't get any news.

Because he was concentrating on researching the captured 80mm mortar at this time, which was standard equipment produced in the devil-occupied area. The industry in the north of Kanglai country is weak and cannot produce steel of this specification. The north and south areas are occupied by the devil again. It was very difficult to mobilize material support.

In fact, except for the heavy firepower brought by the northern defenders at the beginning, the rest is all based on capture.

As for self-production, there is nothing, even the President who is suspected of being a time traveler can do nothing.

After all, the development of industry is not just about lip service, it needs to be done from all sides. In order to ensure the leading technology, the invaders back then naturally would not agree to the development of heavy industry in Kanglai country. All kinds of obstacles have been done all the time , There was even a matter of sending people to blow up the Kanglaiguo steelmaking plant and military factory.

Aslan flicked the barrel of the mortar, and said boringly: "It's just a piece of crap, and we have to rely on imports."

Duke Medea came, looked at the mortar in front of him with great interest, and compared it with his hands.

"This cannon is really small, how powerful is it?"

After pondering for a while, Aslan said, "This 80-caliber explosion in front of me has a center radius of 15 meters. Within this 15-meter range, it is estimated that only a knight commander in heavy armor can survive."

Duke Medea understood instantly.

In addition to heavy armor protection, it is also necessary to activate the fighting spirit armor. The knight's fighting spirit armor can complement the knight's heavy armor, and the resulting defense power can even be compared to the fighting spirit armor of the great swordsman.

"This thing is good! It can be mass-produced. It is much better than the electromagnetic gun you made." Duke Medea immediately nodded in praise.

Aslan shook his head helplessly.

"Medea, these two weapons are completely different. Mortars and electromagnetic guns are indispensable firepower equipment in future wars. Mortars accompany infantry attacks and provide close-range fire support; electromagnetic guns are used for deep strikes. Long-range suppression, precise shooting."

"Mortars seem to be easier to produce than electromagnetic guns, and they are more powerful, but they have a fatal wound. The flying speed of the shells is slow and the penetration ability is low. A simple fortification of a layer of logs and a few layers of earth and stone can resist 80mm Mortar attacks."

"In addition, the speed of mortar shells is slow, generally below the speed of sound. Enemy soldiers can dodge in time when they hear the flying scream, let alone professionals. The explosion range seems to be large. Any junior professional, Not to mention that senior professionals can easily avoid it."

Aslan explained earnestly.

Duke Medea nodded with a vague understanding.

"What about the large-scale fire coverage?" Duke Medea asked a key question.

Aslan nodded with a smile, and silently gave the teacher's daughter-in-law a thumbs-up, military vision is still okay!

"This is the biggest advantage of the mortar, but the mortar still has a fatal injury, so the range is relatively short. Let's take the mortar in front of us as an example! The maximum range is only four kilometers, and this distance is still the magister's attack. within range."

Duke Medea gave a light 'oh', and then lost interest.

"Then why are you still working so hard on research? Cannonballs are easy to be run away when fired, and the range is short."

Aslan said with a smile: "Mortars and shells are cheap, and the shells are made of gray cast iron, ductile iron, etc. Cast iron is hard and brittle, and it is easy to produce more fragments in an explosion, increasing the lethality. Therefore, for low-level professionals and ordinary people, mortars are more lethal and have a greater role on the battlefield."

Aslan didn't say the last word. With the appearance of the rifle, the original confrontational war will gradually be eliminated. At the beginning, it may enter the stage of queuing and shooting, but with the appearance of the machine gun, it will enter the trench warfare. That is the mortar The place where the guns show their power.

Gray cast iron is a cast iron obtained by fully proceeding the graphitization process in the first stage. All or most of the carbon exists in the form of flake graphite, and the fracture is gray and dark.

The appearance of the fracture of gray cast iron is light gray, so it is called gray cast iron (gray iron). It is cheap and widely used. Gray cast iron accounts for more than 80% of the total output of cast iron.

This thing is extremely cheap, and even the Kanglai Kingdom can produce it on a large scale, so Aslan directly made a few molds and sent them to the headquarters of the Tiger Regiment, so that Li Xin's political commissar had people pour out the cannon embryos as soon as possible. As for the fuze If it can be made by workers, it can be built, and it can no longer be solved by innate magic.

As for the gun barrel, let Leto and the others handle it. After all, they now have more than one million silver coins on hand, and they have also mastered many factories and industries, the most famous of which is the battle spirit potion.

Selling two silver coins here in the tiger group, but buying three silver coins in the coastal area.

The most important thing is that the quantity is large, and they are often purchased in thousands of pieces, allowing the two to quickly squeeze into the high society along the coast.

Of course, in Weicheng, the city where the two lived, the underworld forces in it disappeared without a trace in just half a month.

They soon received an order from Aslan to purchase high-strength composite steel in large quantities.

The two acted quickly, Kain was in charge of Weicheng, and Leto was going to Wencheng. It is believed that a high-quality cannon barrel will be delivered to Aslan soon.

After all, in addition to building two advanced chemical factories, they also acquired a machinery manufacturing factory, for which they also specially imported a batch of advanced machines.
