Chapter 54
Flying Thunder Cannon Test, Shocks Factory Manager Cheng and Minister Zhang

Could that really launch the explosive package?!!!

Impossible!

Cheng Ming Xin and the others found it hard to believe, unable to grasp the underlying principle for a moment.

At this time, the explosive packages requested by Su Yang were also completed one after another.

Seeing the puzzled expressions on Cheng Ming Xin and the others, Su Yang couldn't help but explain, "Chief Cheng, this cannon is actually different from ordinary cannons in terms of its launching method."

“That's why I designed these explosive packages.”

“It launches by using explosives to generate power, thereby launching the explosive package.”

“The explosive packages are now ready and can be tested at any time.”

“Whether it can succeed or not, we will know with a try.”

Cheng Ming Xin was very clear that if it could truly achieve the effect that Su Yang mentioned, it would be a major invention for our army.

It is not only simple to manufacture, but also has low cost.

The most important thing is that our army is currently in urgent need of cannons.

Cheng Ming Xin was also a decisive man, and he readily agreed to the test.

“Okay!”

“Let's try it then. Big deal, we will work overtime to produce gunpowder.”

With the factory director Cheng Ming Xin giving the go-ahead, the testing of the 'Conscienceless Cannon' continued.

Back mountain.

A vacant place.

To reduce consumption, Su Yang asked people to build makeshift fortifications at a distance of about 150 meters to test the power of the explosives.

With everyone's efforts, the preparations were quickly completed.

Su Yang also made the final angle adjustments to the 'Conscienceless Cannon' at this time.

With the gunpowder filled, the explosive package was also put in.

The preparations were complete.

To protect Su Yang's safety, Cheng Ming Xin directly handed the ignition work to others.

This made Su Yang feel both honored and guilty.

As the fuse was lit, in just a moment, a deafening roar shook everyone.

Su Yang and the others stared intently, and saw an explosive package shoot out.

Then it landed about 140 meters away.

But there was no explosion as expected.

Just as everyone was puzzled.

A loud explosion came, catching everyone off guard.

This scene stunned everyone.

This.....did it really succeed?!!!

No one expected it to actually launch successfully.

Looking at the scene of the explosion, Cheng Ming Xin's heart raced, his eyes filled with shock.

“Comrade Su Yang, it worked, it really worked!”

“Hahaha.....”

This would mean that when attacking enemy fortifications, we would no longer need engineers to carry explosive packages.

No more sacrifices would be made for this.

It would also enhance our army's artillery strength.

How could this not make people excited!

Su Yang came to the explosion site, and after inspecting it, said with some regret, "The explosive power is barely passable, but the accuracy is still a lot off."

“The detonation time still needs to be adjusted.”

As he spoke, Su Yang silently recorded the time it took for the fuse length of the explosive package.

Hearing Su Yang's words, Cheng Ming Xin and the others were all stunned.

At this moment, they finally understood why Su Yang made explosive packages of different sizes and fuse lengths.

It was for testing.

After the first successful launch, Cheng Ming Xin no longer felt sorry for the explosive packages.

Because all of this was so meaningful.

“Comrade Su Yang, you can test as much as you like, and if you have any requirements, just ask, we will meet them.”

Su Yang nodded slightly, "Okay, then thank you Chief Cheng for your support."

“I should be done with these tests.”

Following that.

Su Yang started testing again, and recorded the relevant data.

..

On the other side.

After handling the affairs of the logistics department, Zhang Wan He, the logistics minister, rushed back to the ordnance factory.

The production of smokeless gunpowder was a top priority for the logistics department.

He naturally paid more attention to it.

Moreover, this was also related to the development of our army.

But the next second.

A series of explosions came.

This made Zhang Wan He panic!

What was happening?

How could there be such intense explosions, did an accident happen?

Thinking about this.

Zhang Wan He's pace couldn't help but quicken, he even started running.

After arriving at the ordnance factory, he grabbed the soldier in charge of security and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

“What happened?"

“What about the explosions just now?"

The soldier in charge of security naturally knew the reason because of Cheng Ming Xin's instructions, seeing Zhang Wan He's anxious look, he quickly explained.

“Minister, don’t panic, we received a notice that the ordnance department is testing shells.”

Testing shells?

Huh?!!!

How come I didn’t receive any notification about such a major event?

Then he quickly walked towards the back mountain.

When Zhang Wan He arrived, he saw Su Yang putting the last explosive package into the oil barrel and then lighting the fuse.

“Boom!”

In Zhang Wan He’s bewildered gaze, a black spot was thrown out.

A few seconds later.

There was another explosion over 150 meters away.

Was that just now an explosive package?

Zhang Wan He walked towards Su Yang and the others in disbelief.

Is this the so-called test firing?

What kind of cannon is this?

It is actually launched from an oil barrel, how is that even possible?

Su Yang silently recorded the data, already having an answer in his mind.

With this data, I can then manufacture the corresponding explosive packages according to need for different environments.

Of course!

This Conscienceless Cannon still has many flaws.

Cheng Ming Xin looked at Su Yang recording data, and asked, "Comrade Su Yang, what is the name of this cannon?”

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "Since this cannon can deliver the explosive package to the enemy, let's call it the Flying Thunder Cannon.”

Delivering explosive packages to the enemy?

Flying Thunder Cannon?
