Chapter 86: The God-Defying Artifact, the Paris Cannon

A brief vignette, telling the origin of the artillery and its powerful strength and importance.

As a simple popular science video, it naturally cannot be a dry and pure narration.

While the story was being told, it was also accompanied by images of bombardment.

Display it on the sky screen for the people of the world.

Everyone was shocked by what they saw!

However, although it was shocking, the ancient people were not too surprised.

After all, in so many videos about World War II I have seen before, I have also seen a lot of explosion scenes.

Many ancient people knew that there were many powerful weapons of mass destruction in later generations.

And we basically know that kind of weapon is called artillery.

Only now, after watching this video, the ancient people have a deeper understanding of artillery.

The importance of artillery has also become clearer.

At the end of Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen looked at the cannons on the sky and felt very envious.

"Our Ming Dynasty is the founder of the artillery force, and we should be invincible!"

"It's a pity that by my generation, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were really useless, causing the artillery that was originally created by the Ming Dynasty to lag behind the Western barbarians."

"Speaking of which, that red cannon is really powerful."

"Yuan Chonghuan used this weapon before to inflict heavy damage on the Jian'an invaders outside the Great Wall."

"It's a pity that an old slave named Nurhaci died. The subsequent Huang Taiji will be difficult to deal with."

"Since the sky curtain says that the cannon is so powerful, and my Ming Dynasty was the first country to establish artillery, and now it has introduced the Western red cannon technology."

"Can the sky curtain give me some revelation?"

"How about asking the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty to build stronger and more ferocious artillery?"

Not just Chongzhen.

Basically, after watching the previous sky dome video, the ancient people became very interested in the powerful artillery of later generations.

And Tianmu also updated a new related video.

[A divine weapon from World War I! The Paris Cannon! ]

Seeing the title of the sky curtain video, the ancient people couldn't wait to watch it.

Because I had watched videos about World War II before, I naturally knew that there would definitely be a World War I.

Everyone also wants to see what the First World War was like.
In addition, there is a cannon that can be evaluated by Tianmu as a heaven-defying artifact.

How strong is that?
After all, in the eyes of many ancient people.

The first 75mm modern artillery designed by France introduced earlier has a range of over meters, which is already very exaggerated and incredible.

And now this Paris cannon is definitely more powerful than the 75mm modern artillery!

I just don't know to what extent it can go against the will of heaven.

Shang Dynasty.

Emperor Xin looked at the name of the Paris Cannon on the sky, looking forward to seeing what this incredible artifact would look like.

Also made a guess.

"Since it is said to be a divine weapon that defies the heavens, I might as well make a bolder guess."

"Tianmu just said that France was the first country in Europe to equip artillery and develop modern artillery."

“And this Paris Cannon was obviously created by France.”

"And proudly named it after their capital city."

"The Paris Cannon, named after the capital city! It must be the pride of the French nation!"

"It will also play an important role in the First World War, causing great damage to France's enemy, Germany!"

tomorrow.

Chongzhen saw the name of the Paris Cannon and immediately thought it was a good name!
Naming the heaven-defying artifact after the capital of one's own country highlights a kind of dominance!
A kind of confidence!
Chongzhen then decided to give a name to the next batch of new imported red cannons of the Ming Dynasty.

This batch of cannons was named after the reign titles of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty!
This is even more domineering!
We can also borrow the spirits of our ancestors in heaven to bless the Ming Dynasty!
"Hongwu Cannon! Fire!" With Chongzhen's excited shout, the Hongwu Cannon was fired.

A huge cannon shot also appeared in the sky!

With a huge noise leading the way, the sky curtain began to officially introduce the Paris cannon to the world.

And this first sentence.

It made everyone dumbfounded!
Because everyone thought that the Paris Cannon was the pride of France, a European artillery power written on the sky.

As a result, Tianmu introduced.

【During World War I, the German army tried to undermine the morale of the French and bring fear to them.】

[A super cannon is specially designed. ]

[This huge cannon is called the Wilhelm Cannon, named after the German emperor.]

[But later, because its main task was to bombard Paris, it was called the Paris Cannon. ]

[Paris Cannon! This is a ruthless and brutal life during World War I. ]

[It is made of a 102mm gun barrel and a 380mm gun barrel. ]

[The overall length reaches thirty-six meters! ]

[The barrel caliber is an unprecedented 172 times! ]

[The muzzle of the gun is higher than the roof of a ten-story building! ]

[The overall slender barrel can no longer support itself properly, so an auxiliary bracket is installed on the entire barrel. ]

The specific parameters are:

[Caliber 210 mm, barrel length 36.1 meters, shell weight 126 kg, gun itself weight 375 tons, maximum range 131 kilometers! ]

【Manufacturer: Krupp Arsenal, Germany. 】

startled.

The ancients were shocked.

In fact, not only the ancients, but even modern barrage viewers were shocked after seeing the parameters of the Paris cannon during World War I.

"Ah? The Paris Cannon is actually from Germany? Then why is it a French cannon in Red Alert?"

"This cannon is too amazing! It's Er Dezi's black technology!"

"Range of over 100 kilometers? Is this a cannon or a missile?"

"Krupp? My goodness, this is a high-tech arsenal."

"Is this the Paris Cannon made in Germany? Why does it feel a bit like French milk?"

"This is the first time I've seen such an amazing artillery. It really looks awesome."

《But what about its actual combat capability? 》

The sky continues.

[After the Paris Cannon was manufactured, it was secretly deployed on the German border and aimed in the direction of Paris, France.]

[Artillery with a range of more than 120 kilometers can easily cross the front line. ]

[And because of its extra-long barrel, the initial velocity of the shell is also very exaggerated. Not only is the range long, but the flight altitude is also extremely high! ]

[It is said that it can reach a height of 40 kilometers! ]

[After the shell is launched, it can fly in the stratosphere. ]

[This is also within the designer's design scope. ]

[Because the shells fly into the stratosphere, they can reduce air resistance and make the shells have a longer range. ]

[The Paris Cannon shells also became the first man-made objects to enter the stratosphere.]

When introducing this point, the sky screen also played a video of the actual firing of the Paris cannon.

And three-dimensional images.

The audience and the ancient people were all very excited to watch it.
