Chapter 578: Experience After the War

"This matter itself is within the plan. Only when it is equipped with artillery can it be a complete Eternal Night Battleship. You have been training for so long, and you can't hold back in the inland river. The endless sea is your future development direction." Xiao En smiled and said, "However, we are not without enemies on the sea. According to accurate information, the Third Fleet of the Commons family is likely to be entrenched in the open sea. Above us, especially the Dreadnoughts, but the four-masted schooners will be bigger in stature."

"In the old naval battle mode, the larger the body, the more advantageous it is, but with the artillery, the large body does not necessarily have an advantage, especially when the firepower is not directly proportional." Achino laughed loudly, " If the Third Fleet of the Commons family is really still in the open sea, it is waiting to send us warships there, if possible, my explorer fleet does not mind annexing all of their Third Fleet."

"It's great that you have such confidence." Xiao En nodded and said, "You still have two months of final preparation time. In the spring of next year, you will be able to set sail and go to sea. You will be given one year to clear the surrounding areas of the Swamp of Despair. Let me explore all the offshore conditions."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission." Captain Aquino responded loudly.

"Let's all sit down and talk about the results of this actual battle, and see if there is room for improvement. Who will come first?" Sean asked.

"Let me go first!" Commander Dempsey was the first to speak, "I think there is a big problem with the ballistics we are using now. It is too complicated. Not only does it require a lot of personal knowledge of soldiers, It’s very troublesome to use the above, if it’s a preset battlefield, it’s okay, if it’s an encounter, the opponent has already killed us before we can measure the accurate trajectory.”

Ballistics is naturally indispensable for artillery, and the two complement each other.

The ballistics of the Yong Ye army leader did not start with artillery. They had already started to study this when the artillerymen were still subordinate engineers and used catapults and ballistas as their main weapons.

This is a calculus calculation problem. If you know the force, weight, gravity, and air resistance, you can calculate the distance of the projectile. Even if there is no rune mathematics from President Abner, only the mathematics knowledge of Xiao En's previous life will be able to calculate the distance. To solve this problem, the most troublesome problem is the gravity and air resistance of this world. In order to measure this, it took a lot of thought and effort.

Even if the gravity and air resistance they calculated were 100% accurate, Xiao En and the others couldn't fully agree.

Before the artillery is launched, whether it is a catapult or a ballista, ballistics is only an aid. Whether it can hit the target depends largely on luck.

After all, there is a big difference in the power used by the crossbow arm of the catapult, or in the shape and weight of the ammunition itself. Thousands of miles away.

In many cases, catapults and ballistas rely on experience. The accuracy of an experienced catapult and ballista operator is definitely not comparable to that of beginners.

After the introduction of artillery, the importance of ballistics increased rapidly.

Whether it is the barrel or the ammunition, they are all produced on an industrialized assembly line. Whether it is the amount of charge or the weight, when the suspension difference does not exceed a gram, a large amount will naturally be fixed, and it is easier to measure their landing point.

However, this kind of precise calculation requires a lot of consideration, and requires quick calculation ability. The quality requirements of soldiers are quite high, at least they must be graduates from the academy city.

Even so, the ballistics they use is at best an elementary level.

"Does Captain Dempsey have any good suggestions?" Sean asked curiously.

"It's not a good suggestion, it can only be said to be an idea, but whether it can be successful or not is up to the lord to decide." Captain Dempsey's answer was very conservative.

"Let's hear it, how come I have the final say on your idea?" Sean's curiosity was aroused.

"Since the lord can design a combat technique that can accurately measure the distance, why not design a one-step ballistic combat technique based on our gun type and ammunition weight? At that time, those artillerymen only need to leave With just one combat technique, you can easily measure the ballistic trajectory, saving you time and effort." Captain Dempsey threw out his idea.

"Ballistic combat skills?" Since they themselves have measurable ballistic skills, Xiao En really didn't think in this direction when shaping the artillery combat skills. After careful consideration, this matter should not be so difficult. You only need to substitute various known conditions into it, and quickly calculate the results.

Sean lightly clasped the table and said: "I just didn't think of this before. The difficulty shouldn't be too high, but once the combat skills are formed, it will mean very rigid. At that time, it must be aimed at a certain type of gun and a certain shell. Use, the types of artillery and shells our military leaders currently have are relatively single, this method is more or less applicable, and when the number of both increases, normal ballistics will be the general trend in the future.”

"Of course I know this, but this ballistic technique can be used as a temporary supplementary method to increase the immediate combat effectiveness of these artillery, and it is not a bad idea to slowly learn conventional ballistics. The two-pronged approach will achieve faster results." Commander Demps is obviously A person who knows how to think is obviously deliberate when he pays attention to combat skills.

"Since the head of the regiment has considered it so comprehensively, when I have time to study and study, see if I can figure out the ballistics of the corresponding artillery types and shells." Xiao En gave the other party full affirmation, "This is a It’s a very good idea, if the ballistic technique can really be developed, the artillerymen will be able to get started with the artillery operation faster, very good, do you have any other suggestions?”

"Not for the time being." Commander Dempsey shook his head. Even after two wars, he was still figuring out the way to deal with a brand-new weapon like a mortar. There were indeed many problems exposed in it, but these problems can be resolved through Improvements from follow-up training are not like combat skills, which require the cooperation of the lord, so there is no need to bring them up on this occasion.

"Where's Master Baker? Did you gain anything this time?" Sean turned his attention to the real technicians.

Artillery, a new arm, relies on equipment to an unprecedented level. How much combat effectiveness they can exert, their ability is only a small aspect, mainly in weapons, that is, manufacturers like Baker body.

Not only Sean knew this, but other people present also knew this, and their eyes turned to Master Baker.

"There is indeed a lot of gains, especially the power of special ammunition, which is really unexpected. We can increase research in this area in the future, but it involves the use of magical energy. We are laymen after all, and we need to Warlocks are successful. I heard that the lord specially assigned two warlocks to study architecture with Mr. Ferdinand. You can’t favor one over the other. Our Firearms Bureau is a big department, and it’s a core unit. A warlock, as a professional researcher in the research of special ammunition?" Master Baker said in a straightforward manner.

"We were discussing our experience this time. How did you come to ask me for scientific research personnel? You and Director Tobias are worthy of being old partners. Even if you are an important person, you have a virtue." Sean was a little stunned, and finally scolded with a smile road.

Master Baker replied solemnly: "Our Firearms Bureau lacks warlock craftsmen. This is one of my biggest experiences this time. In the future, our Firearms Bureau will need support in terms of magic. We can't always ask the lord to solve it every time, right? As long as In terms of allocating us a few warlocks, I promise to make great progress in special ammunition and artillery forging."

"Okay! You win. Go to the northern fortress to select candidates when you have time. It is impossible to have ten warlocks. There are only a few students in the entire Warlock Academy! At most five of you will be allocated at that time." Sean bargained.

"Thank you, Lord Lord." Master Baker was overjoyed.

Even if Master Baker didn't bring it up, the Yong Ye army leader would increase the research on spell shells, and even find ways to carry out industrial production. It is always not the same thing to decompose the energy of spells by manpower.

Even charged gems have to find cheaper alternatives, no matter how cheap jade is, it is still jade.

Not to mention that jade now has another use - to build a mage tower, and the consumption is even more terrifying.

Compared with this kind of natural materials, the Yongye army leader still prefers artificial containers, among which glass and colored glaze are the main considerations, but it is a pity that their spell energy storage characteristics are not high.

In the past, there was nothing they could do, and they could only passively rely on the magic storage properties of the material itself.

But with the in-depth study of spell energy and runes, they opened up a new way, that is, in those glass and colored glaze, the spell circuit of the spell pool is inlaid. Dharma energy container.

The ceramic factory has already begun to try large-scale firing. Once mass production can be carried out, the manufacturing cost of special shells will plummet, at least 60 to 70 percent. Under the same weight, the power will increase by two to three times.

Because these man-made containers can hold more spell energy.

At that time, if the special shells want to be mass-produced, Xiao En only needs to build a single spell energy separation filling line.

This is also in the making now, and the method still comes from the energy reaction chamber.

The spell energy absorbed by the energy reaction chamber is regarded as a single attribute when it enters it, and only after passing through its mixing device can it be mixed into multi-attribute spell energy.

What Sean needs to do is to intercept this magical energy before it is mixed, and pour it into other containers.

In the beginning, Sean just wandered around the energy reaction chamber, thinking about how to start with it.

Until one day I suddenly realized that I had been relying too much on the energy reaction chamber of the northern fortress recently, and once I used the magic energy, I would think about it.

But he forgot the original intention at the beginning, which was to analyze the energy reaction chamber and build his own energy reaction chamber.

Building your own energy reaction chamber is almost on the agenda, why can't you build a single element absorption device, and put the absorbed element into the container?

The energy reaction chamber is actually the patchwork of these single element absorbing devices, and then a mixing device and a containing device are added.

With such a split, the difficulty of building will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. This is equivalent to one-eighth or even one-tenth of the energy reaction chamber. If possible, it can even be made into a portable one, which can be moved around with the artillery to temporarily produce special equipment. shells.

The significance of this device is especially great for the explorer fleet. In this way, they don't need to replenish special ammunition after each battle, and they can directly modify it on the battleship.

This is all a later story, and it is difficult for other people to help them. They gathered together to mainly discuss the experience of artillery combat in this war, and at the same time provide suggestions for the improvement and future development of artillery.

Improvements belong to improvements, and the speed of artillery production by the arsenal under the Firearms Bureau remains constant.

As Marshal Tagore said, whether these artillery can be eliminated or not is a matter for the future, and we have to use what we have now.

The Yongye army is at the forefront, and it is more important to popularize artillery than to climb to a higher level of technology.

Sean has not many avatars now, but he still feels that he is incapable of avatars, and he can't wait to break them apart for one minute and use them for two minutes.

After a busy meal here at Brother Port, I realized that after the shock and shutdown of the consciousness space, I rushed here to watch the battle, but I didn't have time to open it. It was already a day later when things happened here and I rushed back.

After turning it back on, it was necessary to appease and explain.

The importance of the space of consciousness to the Eternal Night Army is self-evident. No matter whether it is military or scientific research, without it, the entire northern fortress is like losing its backbone. If something is missing, it feels like something is missing.

Although the restart of the consciousness space is not as troublesome as the first time, it is not as simple as one button, not to mention that there are still many analysis tasks that need to be rebuilt.

When his soul consciousness was shaken, none of them survived, and all of them were washed away.

Fortunately, these analysis tasks, Sean has already formed them into the pattern of soul runes, and it is enough to restore them according to memory.

Now that the consciousness space has been closed, Sean didn't simply restart it. He just took the opportunity to fill in some loopholes and imperfections exposed by the recent new gains and the past period of time in the consciousness space.

Whether it was the soul blending with Christina or the soul-level war he had just experienced, Sean was deeply aware of the uniqueness and fragility of the soul.

In the process of restarting the consciousness space, Sean strengthened the construction and protection of this aspect.

The first iron law is that souls are forbidden to make unprotected contact.

This iron law is running by default. Once there is a problem with the protective layer of the soul in the consciousness space, they will be ejected immediately.

The second major change in the consciousness space is the partitioning.

I can’t handle it anymore, the speed is increasing too fast, my fingers are a little tired, and the state is not good. It is because of this problem that some readers have reported that I have to sort out my thoughts. I can rest assured that there will be follow-up development, but I don’t know how to show it. Please allow a few days for one update, not more than a week!
