Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 916

This test site is dedicated to the firearms group. According to Wei Wu's requirements, a bunker must be built in the firearms test site.

Therefore, several thick walls were built with cement and bricks to serve as shelters, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

Under Yang Chao's command, it didn't take long for the craftsmen to complete all preparations.

After all personnel had evacuated, Yang Chao grabbed a thin rope and came to the back of the bunker where Wei Wu was.

"Mr. Vice President, is it you who will come, or me?"

"Come on! I'll just watch from the side."

Hearing Wei Wu's answer, Yang Chao nodded and explained:

Then he pulled the rope while sticking half of his head out of the wall to observe.

Wei Wu also looked over and saw that the loading equipment was slowly rising under the pull of Yang Chao.

After reaching the appropriate angle, the shell slides smoothly from the groove into the barrel.

Immediately afterwards, the firing pin at the bottom of the barrel pierced the primer at the bottom of the shell, and then there was a muffled sound.

puff!

Unlike other artillery, the sound of mortars is not loud and sounds soft as if it has no power.

But at the same time as this muffled sound was heard, a shell flew out from the barrel.

After drawing a beautiful parabola in the air, the shell finally landed in a small woods more than 200 meters away.

boom! !

There was an immediate explosion as the shell hit the ground, but there was no light or flame, only smoke and thick dust.

And because the distance is relatively far, in terms of visual effects, it does not give people a feeling of great power.

So after the shells exploded, the craftsmen who were watching did not show any particularly big reaction.

Although they didn't say it out loud, one could sense that they seemed a little disappointed with the power of the mortar.

Wei Wu had no intention of explaining this. The lethality of a weapon was never determined by the flash of fire.

This isn't the Naruto world, are you kidding? This is a gunpowder explosion, do you really think the smoke won't cause any harm?

The greatest lethality of a shell explosion has never been the flames, but the shock wave and metal fragments produced by the explosion.

Especially metal fragments. With the amount of explosives in mortar shells, the killing range of metal fragments is 20 to 30 meters around.

However, it is meaningless to just say these things, they have to see it with their own eyes, so Wei Wu walked out of the bunker directly.

"Let's go and take a look at the explosion site."

Then, under the leadership of Wei Wu, a group of craftsmen quickly came to the point where the shell landed, more than 200 meters away.

Although the smoke and dust raised by the explosion have not yet completely dissipated, the explosion crater can still be seen not far away.

Compared with the results of past explosion experiments, the explosive power of this mortar shell is definitely impressive.

But this is not the most important thing. The real lethality is not the craters on the ground, but the surrounding environment.

So, when the craftsmen were observing the crater, Wei Wu spoke directly:

"Everyone spread out and check the surrounding trees to see if you can find any traces."

After Wei Wu finished speaking, the craftsmen immediately dispersed to check around, and then bursts of exclamations came from all around!

"Oh my god! The trunk of this tree is covered with wounds, and each one is half a finger deep."

"Come and take a look! There's a piece of metal embedded in this tree trunk. Oh my god, it's penetrated into the heart of the tree!"

"It's terrifying. Did you see that? Almost all the trees around the explosion site have signs of damage."

"That's nothing. Just walk two steps forward and you'll see branches more than ten meters away with many of the cut ends smooth and even."

Amid the exclamations of these craftsmen, everyone finally understood how the power of the mortar was demonstrated.
