Chapter 310

The site of the experiment was in the wilderness north of the tribe.

It's all wilderness. In the past, apart from the mountains in the distance, it's a boundless wasteland. Let's not talk about experimenting with this simple catapult here. Even experimenting with 155mm self-propelled guns is OK

In addition to making this grenade, he also made six grenades. Because the size of the grenade should match the caliber of the barrel of the catapult, so the grenade can't be used casually.

In fact, the simple catapult that stone bear pointed out to edian is powerful. After all, the little devils in the original historical time and space used the catapult to launch type 91 grenades, which had no stable tail. However, the tail of the grenade cast by adian has four stable fins, which can greatly increase the ballistic stability of the grenade in the air.

When Ferguson and Jack Williams heard that the boss had come back, they put down their work and came back to life. So a group of people went to the wilderness together and put up the barrel with the muzzle facing the North wilderness.

After the seven or eight soldiers of Kuaima rode to make sure that there was no one in the wilderness, the stone bear put the second grenade filled with 400 grams of kuweisuan into the barrel of the gun and ignited the fuse.

The next moment, accompanied by a not very loud blasting sound, from the barrel of a flame, the next moment, the barrel of shrapnel disappeared in the air.

About two or three seconds later, there was a flash of light in the distance. After another two seconds or so, a huge sound came. It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Trump squatted beside the stone bear and peed

Stone bear laughed and patted trump, who was so scared that he hugged his thigh and didn't let go. Then he said with satisfaction: "the effect of this experiment is good. The range of this thing should be about 700 meters, which is a very good number!"

"Seven hundred meters? So far? " Adien asked excitedly, too. You should know that the effective range of this kind of catapult, which the leader said at the beginning, could reach 400 meters, even if it was successful. Unexpectedly, the range was nearly doubled, which was close to the range of those 84 mm caliber four pound guns.

But the power of those four pound guns can't be compared with that of this kind of grenade. It's a serious bomb. Although we haven't seen the explosion point yet, the explosion just now has proved the power of this kind of grenade.

"Well, but it should be the maximum range of the catapult. As for the effective range, it should be closer. However, the specific figures need to be further tested before they can be obtained. Let's go and see how the explosion works. "

When they got on the horse, they rushed to the smoking place in the distance. When they arrived there, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

On the ground, there is a pit about one meter in diameter and more than 30 centimeters deep. With this pit as the center, all the weeds within a radius of more than 20 meters are lodging radially.

The power of this grenade is much more powerful than that of the native grenade. Although the native grenade is also filled with up to six taels of black powder, that is, 300 grams of black powder, where is the power of black powder?

This grenade is filled with 200 grams of bitter medicine. Its explosive power is no worse than that of 75 mm caliber artillery used by later German!

That is to say, if the grenade falls into the crowd, there will be no survivors within a radius of 20 meters!

In fact, after the crowd arrived here, Kuaima found a dead bison in the grass about 30 meters away from the explosion point. The poor bison was so unlucky that his neck was pierced by a fragment the size of a matchbox

This is an adult bison with a weight of nearly one ton. It was killed so quietly, which seems impossible in chief junaluska's eyes.

And this just proves the terror of this kind of weapon.

"It doesn't look big or heavy. How can it produce so much damage?" Chief junaluska said, holding the grenade, with a look of lingering fear on his face.

"Ha ha, that's the horror of heat weapons. The sticks, knives, guns, bows and arrows used by our soldiers are all used with our own strength, so their power is naturally limited. But this thing is excited by gunpowder, and its power is not comparable to that of a cold weapon driven by human power. Just like a musket, even a child who can shoot with a musket can kill several strong adult men like me. "

Chief junaruska was silent. But if he doesn't admit it, he can't do it. The scene before him is bloody. The eyes of the bison, whose neck is shot by fragments, are silent accusations

Back in the tribe, all the people of the gaoshu tribe came to meet the chief of the Cherokee tribe and the current high priest of bakaluzu. This is the first chief of the gaoshu tribe to visit in person after they moved here.

In the evening, the tribe held an extremely grand bonfire dinner. Barbecue, stir fry, cigarettes and liquor were all presented. It was a great pleasure to eat what chief junaluska and his party ate.

And when he learned that all this was done by the guardian, his heart for the guardian of the "son of God" title is more confirmed.

Chief junaluska is not a fool. As the chief of a large tribe, he has excellent judgment. He naturally judged that these magical things could not be made by ordinary people, even by vasichu.

But before is only a fool's big bear, why can make so many miraculous things? I'm afraid there's no other reason to explain all this except the guidance of the gods.

"Guardian, are there many of those grenades tested this afternoon? How difficult is it to make Now that the identity of this big man "son of God" has been confirmed in his heart, chief junaruska will naturally marry this "son of God". Of course, he was more concerned about the hot weapon that the son of God said.

"It's not very difficult to make this kind of grenade, but there is a lack of ammunition and raw materials for making the grenade. In terms of the current ability of the gaoshu tribe, it is not possible to popularize this kind of weapon in a large area for the time being." In this regard, the stone bear did not mean to deliberately hide.

"Oh? What's missing? Can you tell me about it? "

"A lot! For example, iron ore is used to make steel, and coke is used to make fuel. In addition, a lot of raw materials used to make ammunition can only be provided by the old continent. We don't have them here at all. We have to rely on salt and cigarettes to trade with the vasichus. Therefore, it is not realistic to promote this kind of thermal weapon in a short time. "

For example, benzene powder, one of the main raw materials for making bitter but not sour, is not what the new world can make now. It can only be made from the old world.

If major hank hadn't brought more than ten pounds of benzene powder with him last time, it would not have been bitter.
