Chapter 1008 Luo Ji's Tangle

The presence of His Majesty the Emperor made the members of the Ordnance Research Department extremely emotional.

In the test site outside Mingjing City, the roar of artillery fire continued to blast off the cannon targets set up in the distance one by one, showing the power and accuracy that Luo Ji was satisfied with.

Just now, the metal plate 300 meters away has been blasted away with a fairly accurate shot.

At that moment, all the members of the Ordnance Research Department present couldn't help cheering loudly.

This is a new breakthrough, which proves that their cannons of Myriad Realms have officially extended their effective range to 300 meters while ensuring their power and hit rate!

During the bombardment test, the four metal plates that were blown away were quickly sent to Luo Ji one by one.

The members of the Ordnance Research Department headed by Ye Xuan also gathered around, wanting to further confirm the power of the shelling.

These metal plates, when seen from a distance, are not very large, and when they are brought to the front, they find that they are all like small walls.

The metal plate that stood at a hundred meters was undoubtedly the strongest damage.

The entire metal plate has been punctured! At the same time, there are obvious cracks scattered around.

The piece at 200 meters was slightly penetrated.

The piece at 250 meters was not penetrated, but the entire metal plate was twisted and deformed.

The piece at the last 300 meters is obviously the most complete, but the surface has also been obviously deformed by the shells.

Exhaling a long breath, Luo Ji kicked the last metal plate with his foot, feeling the hard touch of the feedback. There is no doubt that Luo Ji was satisfied with the power of this cannon.

Three hundred meters away, the metal plate can be bombarded and deformed, and the destructive power to the city wall is absolutely considerable.

"How stable is this cannon? How much does it cost to produce?"

Faced with this question from Luo Ji, Zhao Lei, the deputy director of the Ordnance Research Department, who was standing beside him, quickly and respectfully handed over a document in his hand.

After turning two pages, Luo Ji frowned slightly.

This cost is really not cheap. Although the production can be stabilized, the production cycle is obviously longer than that of the three-bow crossbow and the return cannon.

At the same time, the gunpowder and shells, which are consumables, are obviously more valuable than the heavy ballistas and the stone shells of the return cannon...

In short, one word, expensive!

Put these three siege weapons as firepower output side by side for comparison.

The three-bow crossbow undoubtedly has an advantage in range.

And Huihui Artillery, it is less expensive, in terms of range, it is already half a catty.

At the same time, the attack trajectory of the Huihui Cannon has an obvious large arc parabola. In other words, in terms of accuracy, it is not as good as the cannon, not to mention the power...

After thinking twice, Luo Ji called Ye Xuan over.

"On the premise of ensuring power and accuracy, how long does it take to increase the effective range of the cannon to more than 400 meters?"

Faced with this question, Ye Xuan's two willow-like brows suddenly wrinkled.

"Well, Your Majesty, this is really impossible to say."

Well, Luo Ji also knows that this kind of thing doesn't mean that if he wants to strengthen it, he can strengthen it.

Researchers need inspiration, they need to find a breakthrough.

After the experiment this time, maybe ye Xuan was halfway back to the city, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and she had another idea.

But it is also possible that a year and a half have passed, and there is no movement.

And Luo Ji's mood is also very complicated now. He is afraid that Michelle Ye won't be inspired, and he is also afraid that Ye Xuan will suddenly have a flash of inspiration.

If he were to give the order now, start mass production of the cannon.

As a result, as soon as he turned his head, only two or three months later, a new model that Michelle Ye had improved came out again.

Should Luo Ji cry or laugh?

This feeling really makes me sick to my stomach.

Returning to the palace, Luo Ji, who was leaning against the government hall, after struggling for a while, slapped his thigh and made up his mind.

"Send the order, and tell the Ordnance Department to stop continuing to produce Huihui Cannons and three-bow crossbows. As for the cannons..."

Having said this, Luo Ji's voice paused, he was obviously calculating the numbers in his head now.

How come he has to be equipped with six cannons on the borders of the south, east, west, north and west of the Myriad Realms Civilization? In addition, other cities in the border area, considering the unexpected situation, must be equipped with at least four cannons, and other cities, it is best not to fall.

In addition, the cannons brought on the expedition must also be counted...

After his head hurt for a while, Luo Ji rubbed his eyebrows and slowly opened his mouth...

"Wang Kai, you go to the Ordnance Manufacturing Department and ask them to go to the Research Department to get the design drawings, and start manufacturing the latest cannons from today. As for the quantity, let them build a hundred cannons first. Go to Goblin Tech and let them know a cost-reduced version."

"Impressive orders!"

After Wang Kai responded, he walked quickly towards the outside of the palace.

Luo Ji undoubtedly valued this batch of cannons.

In order to wait for this batch of cannons, he also deliberately settled down for a while.

After not seeing Luo Ji's invasion for several months, not only did John Sal feel less relieved, but the pressure on his body became stronger than before.

He knew in his heart that Luo Ji had already figured out all the information on the borders around him.

This feeling, for the party being invaded, is bad.

Between thoughts flying, John Sal gritted his teeth and made a decision...

System alert: Europa player 'John Thrall' is invading your civilization!

Luo Ji raised his brows when he heard the system prompt.

In the next second, it was clear in my heart.

John Sal, is this to touch his bottom? In other words, he wanted to come and see what he was doing in the past few months.

Even if it's not clear, it's good to add a little block to Luo Ji and distract him.

In short, I just don't want him to develop quietly.

But how could Luo Ji let him get his wish?

Just like when he invaded the dwarf civilization before, he mainly focused on gathering intelligence, and basically did not move the truth.

Like this tentative battle, the threat to his border is extremely limited, and it is not enough to be afraid of.

John Sal wants to fight, let him fight.

Luo Ji, who is located in the main city, just continues to develop his development.

Anyway, in this kind of battle, as the defender of the city, he will definitely not suffer.

As for John Sal, will he suddenly attack with all his strength?

impossible! This is a prudent person. Before he has figured out what Luo Ji wants to do, he will not take the risk of losing his troops and attacking the border of the civilization of the world!
