Chapter 1007 New Progress
During this period of time, Luo Ji's continuous invasion wars obviously did not affect the development of Myriad Realms Civilization.
As the invaded party, John Saar didn't seem to have any intention of fighting against the invasion.
Luo Ji knew that the other party was afraid of him.
To be more precise, he was afraid of his true purpose.
If he mobilized troops without authorization to fight an anti-invasion war, he might take advantage of it.
In order to avoid this from happening, in the face of Luo Ji's continuous intrusions, John Sal fought a battle to defend the city seriously.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that, until now, the invasion battle between Luo Ji and John Sal has been fought six times.
Probably because of his bad luck recently, a few of them have invaded the duplicate border.
This made him play six games all the time before he finally got a clear picture of all the four frontiers on the opposite side.
As for these six invasions, Luo Ji won two games and lost four games, obviously more losses than wins.
But Luo Ji himself wasn't much depressed about this win-loss ratio, and John Sal wasn't happy at all.
Because for Luo Ji, although he lost the invasion, he didn't suffer much substantial losses, and he still achieved his goal.
As for John Sal, although he won, he didn't earn much benefit at all. In comparison, his intelligence was about to be figured out by the player from the opposite heaven!
Looking at the notebook in his hand that was already full of intelligence information, Luo Ji was sorting out the thoughts in his mind at this time, and at the same time, he was making arrangements for the next thing.
At this moment, Zhou Cang walked into the hall quickly. The news he brought made Luo Ji's expression obviously lifted.
"Is the cannon improved?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, according to the news from the Ordnance Research Department, the new type of cannon is now being tested outside the city."
"Go, go and see!"
Luo Ji was undoubtedly very concerned about the progress of the cannon improvement.
It has been almost three to four years since the cannon was built.
During this period, Ye Xuan, who was an ordnance master, naturally knew the weakness of the cannon.
But at the same time, she also saw the potential for development from the cannon!
There was no need for Luo Ji to say more. Ye Xuan, who had keenly captured this point, had already devoted herself to the follow-up improvement work of Cannon.
Especially after learning that the dwarf civilization's cannons were better than their Wanjie civilization's cannons in terms of range, power and accuracy, it seemed that they were competing with each other in the air, Ye Xuan suddenly became Work harder.
During this period, Zhang Ze (the goblin chief ordnance engineer), another deputy minister of the Ordnance Research Department, naturally assisted.
In the past two or three years, the cannons of Wanjie Civilization have been officially improved at least ten times. As for the number of small changes and experiments in private, it is estimated that they are countless.
However, this field is unfamiliar to them after all.
Even Luo Ji, who is a modern man, doesn't know much about cannons, so it's hard for him to give any constructive opinions on the improvement of cannons.
Little by little, Ye Xuan and Zhang Ze have to slowly explore by themselves.
In other words, it's time to fight for talent.
And Ye Xuan and Zhang Ze did not disappoint Luo Ji. From the initial effective range of just over 100 meters to more than 200 meters, the stability, accuracy and power of the shells also became higher and higher. Luo Ji could see the progress here.
As for this time, the improvement of the cannon seemed to have made a big breakthrough. Otherwise, just a little improvement would not have alarmed Luo Ji.
All of a sudden, Luo Ji felt a little more anticipation in his heart.
Outside the Mirror City, there is an area that is specially allocated to the Ordnance Research Department, allowing them to experiment with some threat weapons.
Luo Ji took a group of guards and quickly arrived here on a fast horse.
Led by ye Xuan, Zhang Ze, and Zhao Lei, the members of the Ordnance Research Department who had been waiting here for a long time, when they saw Luo Ji's arrival, they quickly got up and saluted...
"We welcome Your Majesty!"
"It's all free."
With a big wave of his hand, Luo Ji motioned for everyone to remove all the red tape.
He can't wait to see how powerful the improved cannon will be!
In this regard, Ye Xuan is naturally unambiguous.
After answering, he hurriedly took Luo Ji and ran towards his latest achievement with a look of excitement.
Zhang Ze and Zhao Lei, who were following behind, were sweating coldly.
Within the vast test site, a cannon was already placed there.
Looking at the appearance, to be honest, Luo Ji can't really see anything special, but he knows that this is not the point.
Raising the telescope in his hand and looking into the distance, he saw that within the test site, several thick metal plates had been stacked in sequence according to the distance!
These metal plates look simple, but they are actually very particular.
In actual combat, a unit that is too small does not need to be bombarded with a cannon, but a unit that is too large cannot reflect the accuracy of the cannon.
Therefore, in order to conduct a relatively accurate test of the range, power and accuracy of the cannon in this test, the size and hardness of the metal plate must reach a just 'appropriate' level.
The troublesome requirements here also made the blacksmiths in the craftsmen department spend a lot of time.
At the same time, next to the metal plates used as cannon targets, words such as 100 meters, 200 meters, 250 meters, and 300 meters are also marked in detail.
Without ambiguity, he decisively signaled the professional artillerymen to operate.
The skillful movements get them ready in place quickly.
Then he turned his head to Luo Ji and asked whether to fire.
In response, Luo Ji nodded lightly, then opened his mouth slightly while covering his ears.
When the guards behind him saw this, they also followed suit.
Soon, a deafening roar resounded throughout the wilderness.
The artillery shells that flew out carrying gunpowder smoke and firelight first hit the metal plate located at a position of 100 meters.
Under the joint improvement of Ye Xuan and Zhang Ze, the hit rate of the artillery within 100 meters is already quite high.
In the face of this tyrannical shelling, accompanied by another loud noise that almost caused cardiac arrest, the metal plate at a distance of 100 meters was blasted out on the spot.
Although he hadn't stepped forward to conduct further detailed confirmation, but through the visual inspection at that moment, Luo Ji estimated that the destructive power of this cannon within 100 meters was probably more than that of a three-bow crossbow!
