Above the Pirate King

Chapter 40 Textile Machines

The third is also a cannon.

But unlike ordinary guns, ordinary artillery in this world are smoothbore guns with a smooth interior.

And this artillery is a rifled gun with spiral rifling inside. When fired, the projectile rotates along the rifling of the gun, and has a certain speed after exiting the muzzle, which can maintain stable flight.

Rifled guns are superior to smoothbore guns in range, rate of fire, and shooting accuracy.

This is for equipment on the Conqueror.

With this cannon, the conqueror was even more powerful.

The situation where the Kingdom of Fürth had densely deployed artillery at the port before and prevented an inch from advancing would never happen again.

Taking the 3000-meter range of the rifled gun as an example, they can be hit from a long distance, and the general artillery has a range of 1000 to 500 meters.

Of course, the cost of rifled guns is also much more expensive than smoothbore guns, after all, the rifling must be made inside the barrel.

"Your Majesty, do you want to try these things?" Dale said excitedly.

"Of course!" Arthur picked up a grenade casually.

Pull the grenade away and throw it lightly.

The grenade flew directly over 500 meters!

"boom!"

500 meters away, a hole several meters in size exploded in an instant!

"It's powerful!" Arthur nodded in satisfaction.

"With this power, the general major will not feel comfortable being bombed directly. Once a large number of grenades are bombed, it will not help even if he knows iron or armed!" Shigekuni Yamamoto analyzed from the side.

That's what I said, but most of them are not stupid to be able to cultivate to the level of a major. Can't they hide if they can't bear it?

And with their eyesight and strength, as long as they pay attention, they may even have a chance to throw it back directly, or hit it back.

Therefore, it is very useful against ordinary enemies, but if you are against enemies with a little strength, you should be careful to use it, or even not use it, unless you have the determination to die together and blow yourself up with the grenade directly.

"Your Majesty, let them use the rest!" Dale said with a smile beside him.

The remaining two are cannons. Arthur must be difficult to operate alone, so he made such a proposal.

"Yes!" Arthur nodded.

Dale gave the craftsmen beside him a look.

The next moment, craftsmen came over with flying thunder cannons.

Put the Feilei Cannon on the ground, everything is ready!

Then several craftsmen looked at Arthur!

"Let's get started!" Arthur said, waving his hands.

The craftsmen skillfully put the explosive packs bundled into discs into the fly thunder cannon.

ignition.

"boom!"

The explosive package flew more than 200 meters.

"boom!"

After a deafening bang, a large crater exploded.

"It's quite powerful, but it's useless, the distance is too close! Once it fights, it's easy to be defeated by the enemy!" Shigekuni Yamamoto shook his head and said.

"Grandpa, this is not for us, it is for those who are poor and crazy and have no money to buy artillery!" Arthur said with a smile.

"That's okay!" Shigekuni Yamamoto nodded. If it was sold to the pirate mafia, there would be a certain market if the price was very low.

"Your Majesty, let's take a look at the last cannon!" Dale said confidently. In his opinion, the last one is the highlight.

Arthur nodded.

The rifled gun is placed on two large wheels, and the barrel has a golden appearance!

The craftsmen skillfully pulled out the rifled guns and put them in order.

Take out a cannonball with a rivet on it.

The craftsmen rotated the shells into the rifled guns.

"Let's start!" Arthur said after seeing the shells put in.

The craftsmen began to adjust the direction of the muzzle, and after a while, the fire was ignited.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, the shells whirled out.

In the next second, he flew directly to three kilometers away, where there was a wooden house that had already been prepared.

"boom!"

The shell hit the wooden house, and the whole wooden house was blown to pieces, and the residual wood flew tens of meters!
"hiss--"

Seeing this, Shigekuni Yamamoto also showed shock on his serious face, and took a deep breath.

It wasn't that the power frightened him, but the distance, which was a full 3000 meters.

This range is amazing.

If in naval battles, you have twice the range of others, what is the concept?
Plus the Conqueror, that steam-powered speed.

As long as you don't encounter strong people or black technology, you are almost invincible.

If the space for activities is large enough, even one ship can be fought against a hundred ships.

No way, you can hit someone, but they can't hit you!

Arthur nodded in satisfaction, and asked Dale, "Can all these things be produced?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the production line of these things is being assembled, and production can officially begin in about a month!" Dale said honestly.

After hearing this, Arthur nodded. A month is not a long time, and the whole army will be replaced with these new equipment soon.

At that time, the strength of the soldiers of the entire Kingdom of St. Maarten will have a big leap forward.

"Okay, you guys go down first!" Arthur said to the craftsmen.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The craftsmen nodded respectfully,
Arthur turned to look at Gnar,
"Gnar, how are things going?" Arthur asked Gnar.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, steam looms, steam excavators, and steelmaking furnaces have been developed. At present, the test has been completed and can be put into production directly!" Gnar pushed his glasses and said seriously.

"Okay!" Arthur nodded happily.

Before digesting the Kingdom of Felt, there was a long period of rest. During this period, it happened to develop the business of the Kingdom of St. Martin.

When there was only St. Maarten, except for the annual sailing month, all business was carried out on the island, which was self-sufficient!
As Arthur made people research the steam ship, after the steam train.

Arthur began to ask the people of the Academy of Sciences to research various production tools powered by steam, which not only produced various items faster, but also produced more.

However, a series of problems followed, such as excess production, excess manpower, etc. After all, there are so many people on the island, how much can it consume?
With less consumption, the workers will naturally have no jobs to start, and the factory can no longer support so many people, so they lose their jobs.

Of course, these things haven't happened yet, but we still have to prepare in advance!

Therefore, it is imperative to dump things to the entire West Sea!
Doing so can not only solve various problems caused by the emergence of steam-powered production lines, but also make a lot of money for the kingdom.

Among them, the fabric spun by steam looms is Arthur's trump card. Although there are looms in this world, they are all human looms. The speed and cost of steam looms are not inferior to manpower looms!
No matter in any world, cloth is more important, even in an era of low productivity, cloth can replace money to a certain extent!

After dealing with these matters, Arthur returned to the palace.

Gnar, Giles, and Dale stayed behind to continue working on the 98K production line.
