Chapter 451
"If I'm not mistaken, the last time I went to watch the catapult test, this test site was quite rudimentary. "
"So how much time has it been, and this place has been built so well, it's almost catching up with a small city. "
Ying Zheng looked around at the dense buildings within a radius of more than ten miles, and said with great emotion.
"The main thing is to keep secrets, the Academy of Engineering is not as good as the Academy of Sciences, and it is mainly engaged in practical applications. "
"And with more and more projects, the original site is also a little insufficient. "
Therefore, after many technical patents have obtained rich benefits, the main R&D center of the Academy of Engineering has been relocated here. "
Fusu explained with a smile.
Indeed, this place is dozens of miles away from Xianyang City's foot "210", and it is surrounded by valleys, even if it is thunder and fire, it is not easy to attract the attention of the outside world. "
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's all here, Fusu, you should also solve the mystery!"
"My father guessed correctly, what I want to witness this time is indeed the test of new firearms. "
"Moxiu, you go get a batch of protective equipment. "
Fusu said with a smile.
"What does that mean?"
Looking at the heavy earbuds in his hand, Ying Zheng couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"The firearms test is a bit loud, so in order to protect your ears, it is better to bring earplugs. "
Fusu said.
Although the people were puzzled, they saw that Yingzheng and Fusu had brought them, so they could only follow suit.
But in my heart, I was a little unsure.
Especially Zhang Han and other generals, all of them boast of their excellent determination, and now they always feel a little uncomfortable when they look at the weapon test with protective equipment.
Therefore, although he didn't dare to question Fusu, he was still relatively perfunctory, and a few old ruffians simply secretly pulled the earbuds aside.
Fusu, who saw everything in his eyes, had a bad smile in the corner.
Let you pretend, and you will definitely feel good later.
A group of people led by Fusu to the firearms test site, and then they saw strange round and black, palm-sized things.
"Your Highness, the new firearms you are talking about can't be these iron lumps in front of you, right?"
"It's just a little bit, can it really be so powerful?"
Wang Jian hesitated for a moment.
The rest of the generals also nodded.
It's not that they don't believe in Fusu, it's just that this thing is too different from what they expected.
Regardless of the ugly appearance, the weapon doesn't pay much attention to this in the first place.
But this body shape really doesn't make people see that it has great power.
"Yes or no, try it and you'll know!"
Fusu smiled and waved his hand.
At the beginning, Fusu actually planned to develop artillery directly in Daqin, after all, this is the god of war, and he will still be the main force on the battlefield until later generations.
But after all, it was two thousand years in advance, and the knowledge reserve in this area was too low, and the appropriate method of cannon steel and casting mold alone made the engineering academy try countless times and failed countless times.
However, these attempts are not all useless, and these in front of me can be called the iron pimple of the Great Qin grenade, which is one of the gains of the Academy of Engineering in the experimental process.
Although the appearance is not amazing, and the power is much smaller than that of the grenades of later generations, it is definitely a great breakthrough for Daqin.
It is also the first firearm that Fusu wants to show to Ying Zheng and others today.
"Your Highness, it's ready, and you're ready to start testing!"
Mo Xiu carefully inspected all the finished products again, and put on a full set of protective equipment such as thick armor and helmets before reporting.
This is a lesson learned by the Academy of Engineering in countless tests, and there must be no negligence in the handling of firearms.
"Very good, let's start!" (read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)
"Father, I'll be able to go into the bunker and watch the test!"
Fusu dragged Yingzheng to a fortress built of reinforced concrete on the side, nearly a hundred paces away.
This rigorous posture made Wang Jian and others, who were originally unimpressed, also pay attention to it.
After a moment's hesitation, many followed into the bunker and quietly pulled their ears on.
Only a few people are left, and they are still good men over there. []
In the test site, Mo Xiu and others also brought hundreds of family members carved from wood and wearing different clothes and armor, and placed them in different positions.0
"These dummies are used to simulate enemy troops on the battlefield, which can better show the power of firearms!"
Fusu explained to Yingzheng with a smile.
This is indeed more true. "
"But my father looks at those dummies, many of them are wearing several layers of leather armor or even fish scale armor, can this also penetrate?"
Ying Zheng wondered.
Nowadays, in the whole world, except for Daqin, which has advanced steelmaking technology, even in countries such as Rome and Carthage, iron weapons are very rare and very precious.
Even the elite legions are mainly leather armor, and only a few noble generals can wear fish scale armor made of steel.
Although the protection ability of a single layer of leather armor is average, if it is several layers in a row, the protection effect against slashing is still very good, and the distance is farther, and the crossbow arrow is easy to be stuck in the middle of the leather armor.
Not to mention the fish scale armor made of wrought iron, it is not a divine weapon, and it cannot be cut at all for a while.
Zhang Han and the others shook their heads again and again.
As they are familiar with military affairs, they all know very well that the locks and hangings on these armors are the old armor that the Great Qin elite has just replaced, and their defensive capabilities are much stronger than those equipped by Rome and Carthage.
In their opinion, such a palm-sized iron bump, even if it is smashed directly and does not hit the head 2.1 and other vital points, it will not cause much damage.
Even if a firearm is stronger than a normal weapon, it won't be much stronger.
Unless this firearm can have a strong ability to ignite fire, it can set the opponent on fire.
But this iron is not flammable!
The group looked at Mo Xiu and the others suspiciously, carefully placed the iron lumps one by one, then took out one, pulled out a long lead, lit it, and then threw it into the dummy.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
After more than ten consecutive roars that were more shocking than thunder, the test site with many dummies in a radius of dozens of zhang was already completely shrouded in gunsmoke.
And when the smoke cleared, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
Isn't this terrifying?
