Chapter 6 Innate skill

Calculating the air resistance, according to the parabolic calculation of artillery elements, Renyu is now commanding ten steam cannons to carry out shelling of the enemy 400 meters away, Renyu is very satisfied with the current position, 400 meters range artillery in the Earth's army is a waste, but in this air resistance is more than ten times the Earth's planet, A range of 400 meters is the upper limit of ordinary artillery.

The cannon weighed a total of eight tons, and in the city-state belonging to Mina, advanced technicians improved the welding technique and the material of some parts, and the total weight of the steam cannon was reduced to 6.7 tons. The rear compartment of this heavy cannon was a steam boiler, and the front part was a barrel only three and a half meters long, but with a caliber of two hundred and eighty millimeters. This steam cannon advanced on tracks, which contained three large wheels half a meter in diameter, arranged in a zigzag pattern。

As this steam cannon is very similar to the mortar on Earth, it can be said that it is an oversized mortar that can move by itself. Because the air resistance in this world is too big, the air resistance suffered by the cannonball is exactly related to the speed of the object's movement, the greater the initial speed of the cannonball, the greater the air resistance suffered. In order to let the kinetic energy of the cannonball can overcome the air resistance, the artillery design in this world is forced to increase the mass of the cannonball, sacrificing the speed of the cannonball out of the chamber, so it becomes the appearance of the mortar.

The No.1 steam cannon fired calibration shells, then Renyu corrected the artillery parameters based on the point where the shells landed, then the No.2 and No.3 cannons fired again with reference to the calibrated data. When he saw that the shells accurately landed on the opponent's position, Renyu nodded with satisfaction and ordered the remaining seven cannons to start firing in unison!

The seven heavy cannons firing in unison created a large smoke cloud on the ground four hundred meters away, the single mineral powder in the shells detonated under the action of the catalyst, creating a dazzling fire, The shockwave of each shell can reach up to 10 meters.

Renyu's command throughout the artillery barrage was very concise and effective. In this era, artillery is a high-tech military, after all, in the first industrial revolution of the primary stage, who would have the leisure to study those seemingly useless parabolas, ellipses and hyperbolas, Renyu's math scores in school back then was considered to be in the middle of the upper. Coupled with the fact that the artillery in this world had a shorter range and minimal environmental interference, the ballistic formulas were not particularly complex. As such, the level of command he was currently displaying could be considered excellent in this world. There was another important reason, and that was that the artillery operation in this world was considered very simple compared to Earth. One must know that the mechanical level on Earth was far superior to that of this world!

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Andrew, on the other hand, is athletically gifted and adventurous, plus has military experience in his original world. He has already gained the favor of the protagonist, Giacomo, and now leads three musket squads (about three hundred men) as well as ten mechanical soldiers. It is a fine talent. But it seems that all the IQ of the European and American group of travelers is concentrated in Andrew, and the others are very average, even a little stupid.

Inoue Ohno, a middle-aged man, has enviable experience in mechanical repairs.

The two Afro-descendants stabilized after the initial panic and gradually got acquainted with the people around them and built up their own networks, relying on their natural linguistic talent and personality strengths.

So it seems that that system of recruiting soldiers should be a purely random catch, only caught himself a Chinese, should be their own bad luck.Renyu while commanding the artillery shelling while thinking wildly. Maybe it's the advantage of youth, or maybe it's the crazy math problems he was forced to do during his teenage years, in terms of artillery calculations, Andrew and Inoue Ono can't compare to Renyu!

As for the other two Japanese, and Lee Cun Sung, the Korean. He was second only to Renyu in artillery calculations, but was also thrown off by some distance. This is a good example of how the size of your ability in a certain area sometimes, doesn't just depend on talent, but also on your opponent.

A covering fire, Renyu delivers the shells to the opposing positions exactly as Commander Giacomo requested, Giacomo's army is now facing an enemy that is not Vinci, but more like warriors made of crystals that are products of magical summoning!.

The Crystal Warriors fight by growing crystal boomerangs from their arms, which emit blue jet flames from their ends when thrown. Under the force of the jets, the crystal-constructed boomerang will accelerate and crash into the enemy, and when it hits the enemy, the crystal boomerang will shatter and splash out a large amount of burning liquid that will ignite the enemy!.

贾科莫率领的军队在这次打击下陷入了困境,从帕多尼亚城邦征召的军队一踏上战场就被击溃,只有米纳的精锐部队保持队形,用子弹攻击敌人。当然,重炮结束了这一切,强大的火炮用爆炸和冲击波把这群奇怪的敌人炸成了碎片!

“这不是芬奇的部队,好像是某种魔法召唤来的。”贾科莫皱着眉头说道,看着蒸汽机甲里地上的碎屑,眼中带着浓浓的鄙夷。

芬奇是康多提·阿里埃骑士曾经统治的西大陆的名字。但蒸汽机和火枪时代到来,骑士们开始没落。不过康多提·阿里埃的佣兵营地依然遍布整个大陆。这些营地里可以雇佣骑兵,有拿着火枪的骑兵,也有拿着盾牌直接冲锋的重装骑兵。在这种火枪有效射程只有五十米的情况下,骑兵依然有着强大的生命力。当然,在绝对的火力之下,如果没有其他兵种配合,这种强大的旧时代兵种的作用就会大打折扣。

雷宇指挥着两个炮组(共计二十门蒸汽炮)冲上了高地,然后透过测距仪的镜头,望向五十米外的标记,以及六百米外的马厩、栏杆等参照物,雷宇很快就估算出了自己与孔多提·艾莉埃佣兵营地的距离,下令将火炮调整角度,开始进行校准的炮火射击。

四枚校准炮弹的爆炸和冲击波,如同火焰巨人逼近的脚步,正向孔多蒂·艾莉佣兵营逼近。正当雷宇重新校准炮弹落点时,收到了停火的命令,五分钟后,雷宇通过望远镜看到安德鲁举着白旗朝营地走来。但十分钟后,安德鲁带着几名骑士,举着白旗骑马离开了营地。

“他是不是太圆滑了点……”任宇小声嘀咕了两声,安德鲁跟剧情主角关系很好,手上的能力最强,是整个团队当之无愧的领袖。

但任宇却像是想到了什么,目光中又恢复了平静,任宇把手伸进口袋中,一枚坚硬的钢铁弹丸仿佛被注入了一股神秘的力量,变得如同泥土般柔软。

每个旅行者都有一份天赋。
