Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 54: Heartless Cannon (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

"., This is the situation. Now Da Biao, Brother Ren, see if there is a good way to take down the arrow tower of the Liu Family Courtyard first. If the arrow tower is taken down, then it will not be difficult to take down the Liu Family Courtyard."

At the independent regiment headquarters, Ren Zhong was invited to attend Li Yunlong's combat meeting for the first time.

Although Li Yunlong's behavior was a bit presumptuous from a disciplinary perspective, considering that Ren Zhong had taken on all the military industry of the independent regiment and was the de facto head of the military industry of the independent regiment, he was actually more important than any other battalion or company commander at this stage.

So no one had any objection to his participation in this military meeting. Anyway, there were not many people in the regiment headquarters now. Besides Li Yunlong, there was Kong Jie, and then Zhang Dabiao who was transferred to serve as the commander of the first battalion. Ren Zhong was the fourth person.

Li Yunlong can make the decision with just one word.

After listening to Li Yunlong's words, Ren Zhong's mind suddenly lit up and he thought of an interesting thing - the conscienceless cannon!

It seemed like it was tailor-made for Li Yunlong's situation.

"Ahem, Lao Li, if you just want to destroy that arrow tower, I do have an idea," Ren Zhong cleared his throat.

"Is it possible to find a gasoline barrel? If there is one, I can find a way to modify it and then throw a ten-kilogram explosive pack more than a hundred meters away. Now we have no shortage of explosives, so it shouldn't be a problem to destroy this arrow tower."

"Brother Ren, there is such a good thing. Don't worry, I will go find the gasoline barrel right away. Even if I can't find it in the headquarters, Old Li will go to Yuping or even Quanyang to get it for you. Our meeting will end here today. Da Biao, you take your men to contact the nearby guerrillas and try to collect gasoline barrels near the base. Old Kong, you continue to organize the training at home, focusing on practicing street fighting methods inside the compound. I will go to the headquarters to ask Zhang Wanhe for gasoline barrels." When Li Yunlong heard what Ren Zhong said, he smiled with joy, slapped his thigh and gave a series of orders.

"Yes! Captain!"

"Yes! Lao Li!"

Zhang Dabiao and Kong Jie responded almost in unison.

Old Li never thought about whether Ren Zhong could do it. Now in Old Li's eyes, as long as Ren Zhong said it, he would believe it and start to execute it without thinking.

"Hey, Lao Li, we don't need so many gasoline barrels. Two or three will be enough." Ren Zhong did not expect Li Yunlong to be so decisive. It seemed that he wanted to clear out all the gasoline barrels near the base. Ren Zhong did not understand what Lao Li wanted to do by collecting so many gasoline barrels.

"Don't worry about this, Brother Ren. Once you get the gasoline barrel, you just need to transform it into a weapon that can launch explosive packs. Leave the rest to us." Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Obviously, this kid has some ulterior motives in his mind, and it is definitely not the Liu Family Compound.

For Ren Zhong, the technical difficulty of the Unconscionable Cannon is much lower than that of other weapons. Basically, there is no mechanical processing. What he has to do is to find the original information of the Unconscionable Cannon. The principle is very simple. The key point is to calculate the trajectory of the projectile and how to simplify it into a method that can be manually adjusted in the world of Bright Sword.

After returning to the main plane, Ren Zhong plunged into the digital library to look for information on this subject. Sure enough, there was a lot of information, but very little useful information.

Fortunately, Ren Zhong already had a very good filtering mechanism for spam information. He skipped over all the self-media revelations and began to search for real historical records and paper materials provided by some professional researchers. After a day's hard work, he finally pieced together a complete set of information on the manufacturing and launch adjustment of the Unscrupulous Cannon.

However, there is no universal calculation formula to apply to the adjustment of the conscienceless cannon. Because the key factors involved, the shape, size and amount of propellant of the explosive pack, as well as the angle of the gasoline barrel, are all factors that cannot be accurately measured, so Ren Zhong studied it and gave up the idea of ​​making a simple comparison table of angles and distances for Li Yunlong, similar to the mountain cannon firing.

Instead, he planned to bring in the independent regiment's own artillery god, King Chengzhu, and let Zhuzi gain true knowledge through a lot of practice.

Three miles outside Yangcun.

"Boss Ren, this is our first launch and the weight of our explosive pack is 5 kilograms. If there are no other precautions, I will light the fuse." Wang Chengzhu shouted loudly to Ren Zhong while lying near a gasoline barrel buried underground.

"It's okay, Zhuzi, just light the fire boldly. We'll do it the same way the first time. We'll make adjustments next time anyway. Don't be afraid." Ren Zhong shouted to the anxious Zhuzi.

Wang Chengzhu was actually somewhat resistant in his heart.

He was a regular artilleryman, but this unscrupulous cannon that Ren Zhong had made for him was frankly too crude. It was just a gasoline barrel filled with propellant and the explosive pack was pushed out. It couldn't be called a cannon at all.

However, Ren Zhong was not only his savior, but also the commander's guest of honor and the first director of the independent regiment's arsenal. Any of these three identities would make Wang Chengzhu wholeheartedly assist Ren Zhong in developing the unscrupulous cannon.

What's more, Wang Chengzhu knew that this thing was really useful. Even if it had a bad reputation, it was effective and would be of great use to the independent regiment in attacking fortifications in the future.

"Ziz, ziz." After the fuse was lit, it burned rapidly forward. Wang Chengzhu covered his ears tightly and lowered his head. After a loud "bang", he saw the gasoline barrel buried in the ground not far away instantly threw out the simulated explosive pack quickly!
Ren Zhong saw the explosive pack flying steadily in the air more than a hundred meters away from a distance and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This first shot was not a failure and the distance was in line with what was written in the information.

On the other side, Wang Chengzhu got up after the sound and watched the simulated explosive pack being thrown more than a hundred meters away. He was shocked. Although Ren Zhong had introduced him to relevant information before, without practice, Wang Chengzhu still didn't quite believe that such an explosive pack could be thrown so far.

"Zhu Zi, draw the position of the simulated explosive package and measure the distance of this launch. Then we will immediately conduct a second test and use the same propellant to launch it again to see how big the measurement error is." Ren Zhong shouted to Wang Chengzhu while running towards the landing point.

Without him shouting, the excited Wang Chengzhu knew what to do.

The result of this first launch has completely dispelled Wang Chengzhu's doubts.

As an artilleryman, Wang Chengzhu could no longer hold back his excitement with only a few grenade launchers to command. He had been planning to pester Li Yunlong to get a mortar in a couple of days. After all, he already had a 60mm gun in the New st Regiment.

Unexpectedly, Ren Zhong gave him a surprise. According to today's test, he would soon have a new cannon that was much more powerful than the 60 mortar!
And thanks to Li Yunlong's efforts, three gasoline barrels were found in just one day!

This means that Wang Chengzhu truly has a powerful weapon to attack the enemy!
The second shot also successfully threw out the simulated explosive pack. As a result of the two throws, the deviation was about 2 meters. If it was other small projectiles, such as grenade launcher shells, it might be a bit inaccurate. A difference of more than two meters would be enough to blow up a machine gun. However, for the unscrupulous cannon that started with 5 kilograms of explosives, it had almost no effect. At least it would blow out a large hole of five or six meters. This error made almost no difference to attacking a position!
"Haha, I'll have heavy artillery in the future. With this thing, the Japanese gun tower won't be safe." Li Yunlong grinned.

When Ren Zhong heard this, he realized that in Lao Li's mind, he had already associated this thing with the Japanese's artillery tower.

In comparison, the arrow tower in the Liu family compound is just a bonus!
