183 Chapter 183 giant cannon

Xia Pingan’s apartment was very small, but Shangjing city was very big!

Just as Xia Pingan was bathing in the Yiyang divine spring in his small apartment, in the underground of Shangjing city, a fierce battle was about to begin in the dark and deep place that ordinary people had only heard of but never been to.

Countless demonic fire spiders and demonic liquid spiders crawled out of the demonic caves in the underground world. There were tens of thousands of them.

The target of these magic fire spiders and magic liquid spiders was a majestic and fiery city of steel under Shangjing.

These huge spiders crawled out of the pitch-black Devil’s Den and various other caves, passing through the dark cracks and rock walls that were filled with corpses of monsters and skeletons, and advanced towards the steel City from the ground and the rock walls.

The whole underground space was filled with the rustling sounds of the marching spiders, as if quicksand and mudflows were surging towards the steel City.

The steel City was surrounded by over 50 m high precipitous walls. Like armored warriors, the walls were covered with pieces of coarse yet hard steel armors.

The city was in full swing, and the smoke from the steam made the city walls steaming hot as if they were in a thick fog.

As the abnormal movements of the demons had been discovered, the steam boilers inside the city wall started to pressurize while those powerful city-defense equipment were starting up. On the city wall of the magnificent Iron City, many 60 – 70 m long bartizans rose up from the city wall being driven by steam, gears and mechanical devices like the arms of Giants. They stretched out of the city in the air like the spines of porcupines and the spears in the hands of octopuses. He aimed at the huge spiders that were swarming out of the devil’s dens and caves in the distance.

Circles of light rose from the moving arrow towers as the summoners began to prepare their spells.

On the city wall, the high temperature and red light produced by the furnace made the red light in the city soar in the misty steam.

The refined steel poured down from the grooves on the city wall, repairing the damage on the city wall and making it stronger.

Such battles were common in the buried city.

Warriors in armor and holding heavy flintlocks had all gone up to the hiding place in the city Tower and entered combat mode.

The judgement Army’s powerful Summoners were ready to go.

On the city wall, rows of black cannon muzzles and Windows were opened, and the muzzles of the cannons were revealed. The artillery was ready.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

The large spiders in the distance were gradually entering the firing position marked by the artillery soldiers.

At the highest point of the City Tower, two Men in Black and gold robes of the church of the God of War stood on either side of a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had a determined face and was wearing a Bishop’s robe and a bishop’s crown. They looked coldly at the monsters that were coming out of the Devil’s Den.

The demonic creatures were surging outside the underground city, but the three of them were calm.

The cannons on the city walls continued to fire, and a Wall of Death was built 30000 meters below the city.

The power of the main cannon surprised the three people on the city gate tower who were silently watching in the distance.

The artillery observer and commander, who were using their artillery observation instruments and long-distance vision to observe the situation in the distance, were also shocked and excited.

The shooting range of thirty thousand meters was thirty percent more than the shooting range of the great Shang’s previous generation’s main cannon. The power of the high-explosive explosives loaded in the cannonballs were also completely different from the past. They were two different levels of firepower.

To all demons, this was a great killing weapon.

The cannons were still roaring!

The automatic reloading machine on the Fort was stuffing huge cannonballs into the barrel and firing continuously.

The quality and stability of the cannon are extremely high.

It was a pity that the number of cannons was still a little low. The spiders continued to pass through the death barrier 30000 meters away and continued to charge, approaching the underground city.

When those huge spiders were over 20000 m away from them, the other main cannons on the city wall started to roar.

The entire underground city was filled with smoke and explosions. As the cannonballs fell, they tore the large spiders rushing towards the underground city into pieces.

......

Fei Yulong finally couldn’t take it anymore. Your Highness, where did those seven cannons come from? ”

The Crown Prince smiled, ” if our great Shang Empire’s Navy and various underground cities are equipped with such sharp weapons, what does Lord Fei think? ”

if our Navy has such huge cannons, our coastal defense will be indestructible. It will be easier to clear out the monsters and pirates on the sea. At the same time, the Navy will greatly reduce their reliance on Summoners. The Crown Prince hasn’t told us where those huge cannons came from. Our cannon Research Institute shouldn’t have the strength to manufacture such cannons!

Beside him, Lin Yi opened his mouth, ” this cannon is from the DA ting Kingdom of the wood flood Dragon province. His Highness the Crown Prince has completed a trade with the DA ting Kingdom. The DA ting Kingdom will transfer several key technologies to produce this cannon to our great Shang kingdom. In the future, our great Shang kingdom will also be able to produce and equip this kind of cannon and cannonballs!

Fei Yulong frowned slightly in disbelief, ” can the DA ting Kingdom produce cannons of this level? ” “Previously, the firearms technology of the DA ting Kingdom was similar to that of our great Shang. How could they advance by so much? this cannon involves many key technologies. Just the alloy steel used to cast the body of the cannon can withstand the high pressure of such a large caliber barrel. Our cannon research team has been working on this for several years, but they have yet to find any results!”

there’s a genius in the DA ting Kingdom. He’s the one who made the DA ting Kingdom’s cannon research advance by leaps and bounds, leaving us in the dust! The Crown Prince said in a low voice as he slightly shook his head, ” the DA ting Kingdom is really lucky!

“Who is the genius?” Fei Yulong asked.

the DA ting Kingdom has been keeping that person’s identity a secret, so the outside world is still unclear about it. However, there is news that that person might become the new president of the DA ting Kingdom’s natural sciences Institute in the future. We’ll know when the time comes! The Crown Prince spoke softly and then looked at Lin Yi, ” the steel plants and gun factories in Shangjing city are preparing for technical modifications recently. I will let my subordinates digest the technology obtained from the DA ting Kingdom as soon as possible. During this period, Shangjing city might not be very peaceful. Please take care of it, Lord Lin. Don’t let those shameful things affect the big event!

“The judgement Army will do their best!” Lin Yi bowed slightly, then looked at the Devil’s Den in the distance and reminded, ” in the past six months, His Majesty has been on an expedition to the North. The underground Devil’s Den has been experiencing more and more strange movements, and the people from all walks of life coming and going in the imperial capital have become more complicated. The safety of the entire Shangjing city depends on Your Highness now, so please be careful, Your Highness!
