2352: C2352 High Shooting Speed

C2352 High Shooting Speed

"Boom, boom, boom!" Clusters of flames kept popping up from the muzzle of the cannon. The flames rose up one by one, as if a firefly's stomach was blinking.0

Black smoke rose from the muzzle of the cannon and rose dozens of meters. It seemed that the rising mushroom cloud was the death god summoning it. In front of the fire, the warheads were flying out one after another!

Even on land, they had never seen such fierce artillery fire before. When they saw the smoke rising from the muzzle, the captain on this side screamed, "Quick, full left rudder, snake maneuver!"

He was very afraid that his warship would be destroyed by the enemy's cannon like the previous one. The warship just now had lost its power and could not be moved. Now that his warship had already charged up, it had enough power to move and dodge. However, right after he shouted, the deputy captain shouted, "The cannonball will land in front of us!"

An experienced warrior could fly according to the sound of the cannonballs. To determine the trajectory of the cannonball... Therefore, when the other party's cannonball flew over... You can't run around. It was supposed to be fine to stay here, but... He had to run around, but in the end, he ran right in front of the artillery shell. That should be the most tragic situation, right?

The vice-captain was more experienced. Before boarding the ship, he had fought many battles on land. He had heard many of the sounds of howitzer shooting at him.

There was no benefit in turning left and right. What was the most important thing now?

"Double cars, reverse cars, full speed!" After hearing the deputy captain's words, the captain finally gave an order to save him. The cabin at the tail switched the propellers to the reverse position in time. The warship began to slow down!

"Plop!" A giant cannonball fell in the sea ten meters in front of their warship. When it hit the surface of the sea, a few meters high splash was created. Of course, the splash was still small. Then, they heard a terrifying explosion!

The fuse was triggered, and a huge explosion sounded. The entire sea water... The water that was a few meters high just now was overturned. It was just a small prelude. Then, underneath the water... It was as if a furious beast had suddenly appeared. The sea water... It was lifted up to more than 30 meters high and raised into a high water column. It was so wide that it looked like a water wall! It rose up violently and then flipped over. The huge seawater was like the charge of cavalry. It crashed into the frigate.

Hua!

The entire frigate was like a small boat swaying in the waves. This wave washed away everything that was not fixed on the deck. The entire frigate received a wash from the sea, and at this moment... The underwater explosion also hit the bottom of the ship, creating a terrifying sound. Under this kind of impact, their frigate might even break apart!

And this, was only the sound caused by the first cannonball falling into the water, followed by the second, and then the third!

The cannonballs kept falling down! Each of them brought with them the baptism of death. They landed right in front of every warship that was fleeing, forcing them to stop.

"Wow, this is too bold, isn't it?" Looking at this scene, the foreigners on the Scientific Research Ship all sighed with emotion. They had never seen such a scene before. There was only an old man. He said thoughtfully, "I seem to have returned to the peaceful ocean battlefield in the World War. Your Naval Gun. Its power is so great that it's unbelievable."

Of course, the previous Naval Gun was 406 mm. The main force of the bullets were armor-piercing bullets that fell onto the surface of the water. It was just a few tons of iron balls that fell down, creating a splash. Although our caliber is 203 millimeters, we are using grenade. The scene after the explosion must be even more spectacular.

Of course, there was also someone who raised the most professional question, "Its firing speed is too fast, isn't it?"

That's right. This Naval Gun had many advantages. Apart from its power and shooting range, there was also another thing that was most shocking. However, only insiders could see that its shooting speed was very high.

From afar, one could only see black smoke rising from the fleet. It was a continuous high-speed shooting, just how fast was its shooting speed? Just look over here. In less than a minute, dozens of cannonballs fell down. The cannonballs didn't hit any target. But this was not because the accuracy was not high enough, but because they did not intend to hit them at all. They hit the path in front of them, which was to stop them. If they did not stop this time, the next time, they might really be hit by them. 'Death or surrender, choose one! '

The high shooting speed of the Naval Gun was an even more lamentable part of it. Even the famous 76 mm Ao Tuo Naval Gun in the west had such a high shooting speed, but it could not continue shooting like this!

To the Naval Gun, there were many reasons to limit its shooting speed. The first one was its caliber. The larger the caliber, the slower the shooting speed. This was because the cannonballs needed to be loaded. The larger the cannonballs, the harder it was to load them. Even the automatic Loader was no exception. This was common sense. However, the main factor limiting the firing speed of the cannonballs was... It was not the caliber, but the cannon's cooling down!

This could be compared to the artillery system on the ground. For example, now. The land cannon with the highest firing rate was the Hans's self-propelled cannon. Relying on the Hans's most precise processing technology and refined style, this type of cannon system's fastest rapid firing mode... To be able to fire 10 cannonballs in a minute, this was already the world's number one cannon.

Looking at the internal structure, the Naval Gun was very similar to the howitzer used by the army. It was developed from the initial cannon, but the actual firing speed was very different. Needless to say, the current automatic loading system, even the ancient manual filling of the old Naval Gun, the firing speed was faster than the same caliber of howitzer.

Take the 61-100mm single-tube Naval Gun that was equipped by the major level of Han Country as an example. This was an improved version of the old model B34 in Bear Country, 100mm Naval Gun. This kind of old Naval Gun could reach the maximum firing rate of 12 rounds per minute. It had already surpassed the most advanced Hans.

Then, what exactly was the cause of this? Of course, it was the cannon barrel's cooling system.

The cannon barrel only had a few seconds of life. It fired hundreds of cannonballs. For the cannon barrel, every cannonball fired. They were all ravaged by high temperature and pressure. If it was fired once, it would be alright to take a break, but if it was fired continuously... It would be even more unbearable for the cannon. This was not only because of the thermal expansion and contraction, which caused the precision to drop, but also because there was a risk of the barrel exploding.
