Chapter 757 - 370: Zhuang Zhixuan’s heart is racing! Turing Duo is despicable!
In the southern waters of Tianshui City.
Three cannon warships were conducting a firing test at a distance of one thousand five hundred meters.
Of course, for this budding navy, such a distance was nothing short of a fantastical tale.
Suo Lun was a liberal arts student and had no understanding of ballistics; he could only let these people grope their way forward.
To make for a slightly better starting point, the first batch of artillerymen that Suo Lun recruited were either former trebuchet strongmen or elite archers. These people had at least some expertise in long-range attacks.
These one thousand people spent the previous month learning mathematics and geometry.
In the absence of cannons, they had used heavy crossbows and trebuchets to study projectile trajectories.
It was not until over half a year ago that the first batch of cannons was manufactured, along with Ashi Yuanba’s hand cannons. Only then did this group of artillerymen get to touch the cannons for the first time and then fire them.
Over the past six months, each group of artillerymen had more than a hundred firing experiences. Their hit rate on land was already considered quite good.
But firing at sea was still a first!
"All in position, aim!"
