23 Thrilling Weapons

  Arriving at the northern city's training grounds, it was a large-scale test of the shape-kill weapon. Shang Wen let Meng Tian thoroughly sweep the area to be tested. Mainly to avoid bystanders. Because this thing is very uncontrollable. The princess, however, snorted disdainfully.

  Shang Wen didn't get angry either. In a while, he would know how astonishing the result was. Shang Wen was confident.

  A moment later, a small school model officer ran over and said that the cleanup was complete. Shang Wen nodded in approval.

  In order to achieve the effect of the experimental purpose. Shang Wen ordered people to set up a large number of grass targets in the target area, with a relatively high density.

  Shang Wen began preparing at this time.

  This experiment is more complicated, mainly including the maximum range of 45 degrees, the ignition time of the rocket bomb, and the effect of intensive firing on the same projectile. For this reason, Shang Wen prepared 300 rockets. In order to assemble them, Shang Wen had no choice but to let his subordinates participate. Even Meng Tian was involved, and Shang Wen really didn't dare to imagine what would happen if the gunpowder exploded. The consequences were unthinkable. The princess pointed and gestured in the distance, apparently impatient. She also didn't know what she was anxious about. This work couldn't be rushed anyway. Shang Wen complained discontentedly in his heart.

  Shang Wen and a bolder subordinate arrived at the experimental launch site together.

  The first launch was the maximum range.

  Forty-five degree angle. The placement is complete. The next person is a bit nervous, holding the lighter and igniting it. Then he runs to the side of the big pit. Shang Wen lies in the big pit, looking at the trajectory of the projectile and the launch phenomenon. After all, there is no professional equipment. It's hard to get data. Can only have initial data.

  With a "whoosh", the rocket shot out. A flame tongue propelled the rocket flying out. The trajectory of the projectile was normal. There was no deviation, and Shang Wen finally felt a stone drop in his heart. Shang Wen had carefully calculated the amount of propellant, tail wings and other details with an abacus. His meticulousness had finally paid off.

  Only to see the rocket flying far away and disappearing. That was outside the target range. Shang Wen felt a bit bad in his heart. He immediately ran up and called out to Meng Tian to get on the car and take a look at the situation. Apparently, Meng Tian also realized that something was wrong. Originally, Shang Wen thought that if the rocket flew one kilometer it would be good enough. Unexpectedly, an error still occurred. Seriously underestimated the range of the rocket. The princess looked silly too, never having seen anything fly so fast before, in the blink of an eye it was gone leaving behind only some smoke from the gunpowder after firing. And didn't know where it ran to.

  Shang Wen and Meng Tian drove the car to a place outside the shooting range. After a while, they finally found it not far away. The rocket projectile blasted out a shallow pit with a diameter of about half a meter. Shang Wen carefully examined it and felt very satisfied. Shang Wen looked in the direction of the shooting range and asked Meng Tian, "Meng Tian, how far is this from the shooting range? Just roughly."

  Meng Tian estimated and said: "It's probably about five miles away." Shang Wen secretly felt pleased, not bad.

  "Sir, this rocket shell has such great power and a range so far that it is a major siege weapon. If the two armies are facing each other, our army can easily launch the rocket shells to attack the enemy." Meng Tian said excitedly.

  "Let's wait for the test results before we say anything. It's too early to draw conclusions now." Shang Wen said, walking towards the horse carriage.

  Upon arriving at the shooting range, only to see Qin Wang appearing in the distance, apparently someone had informed him. Zhao Gao ran over and said: "Qin sir, General Meng Tian. The king has ordered you two to prepare for the test, no need to stand on ceremony." Shang Wen and Meng Tian bowed their hands and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." After sending off Zhao Gao, Meng Tian also stayed at the shooting range.

  Shangwen assembled the next launch. This time it was a salvo launch. It was a temporary change of mind, mainly based on the effect of the first rocket, before daring to make changes.

  Shang Wen finished assembling and asked Meng Tian: "Is the land over there cleaned up?"

  "It's clean, no one is left. I had a hundred-man team cleaning it up long ago." Meng Tian said excitedly.

  "That's good, that's good." Shang Wen said.

  This time it's Shangwen who lit the fuse. All the fuses are connected in a block, linked according to the burning time of the fuse. The interval is about one second. Twenty rounds were fired at once.

  Ignition.

  Shang Wenhao quickly jumped into the big pit and looked back at the launch site.

  "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." The continuous launch of rocket projectiles had turned into a beastly roar for Shang Wen. The sound was indeed deafening. Their ears couldn't take it. Especially the heat wave and smoke after the launch. The three of them really couldn't bear it. They didn't even see the result of the rocket projectile flying.

  By the time the three were ready to watch, it had already been launched.

  Three people were covered in dust. Brushing off the dust. Zhao Gao rushed over.

  "Mr. Qin, Meng Jiangjun. Wang Shang has an invitation." Meng Yi and Shang Yang followed Zhao Gao to arrive. Before they reached the front of King Qin, they heard him say excitedly: "Good, good! This is indeed a great tool for the Great Qin!" His voice was loud and clear.

  The King of Qin saw the three men return and hastily stepped forward to grab Shang Wen, saying: "Mr. Shang's rocket is really exciting! It has left a deep impression on me. I have never seen such a powerful weapon before. It's like thunder and lightning! Too awesome!" Shang Wen quickly replied: "Your Majesty is overpraising, I still need to see the effect of the strike to explain the situation."

  "Right, right, right. I'll go take a look too." The King of Qin said. "I'll go too." The princess jumped out at this time, but her face didn't look very good. It was somewhat pale. Apparently she had been intimidated by the power of the rocket.

  "Your Majesty, this is somewhat improper. The rocket's power is enormous, I..." Shang Wen and Meng Tian knelt down and said.

  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Let's go and take a look together." The King of Qin has already given the signal. We can only follow along.

  Arrived at the place where the rocket shells were concentrated. Only to see a place about 30 meters long and 20 meters wide, filled with twenty large and small shell craters. Shang Wentao felt that this was a miracle. Because, with current technology, it's already a great achievement to be able to launch rocket shells at all. Unexpectedly, haha, Shang Wentao secretly rejoiced in his heart. Not simple at all.

  Since all 20 shots have been fired, there are no unexpected events, and I can finally put my mind at ease. I signaled to the King of Qin that he could come forward. The King of Qin appeared impatient. The princess followed behind him, and the people in the back also caught up. When the King of Qin and the princess saw the densely packed shell craters, they realized the enormous power of the rocket shells, which had exceeded their imagination and unexpected tolerance. The King of Qin was relatively calm, able to remain composed in his surprise. He turned around and looked far away towards where they came from, asking: "Meng Tian, is this place about five miles away?" Meng Tian stepped forward and replied: "Your Majesty, I think it should be a bit farther than five miles. This is my second time here, and I paid attention to the distance."

  "I never thought of it. I, a humble man, have seen such an incredible weapon. It's really too far away. From now on, we can annihilate the enemy army without even seeing them. It's truly unimaginable." The King of Qin said, stroking his beard.
