Chapter 254: The traitors are really thick-skinned

"High-explosive fragmentation bombs rely on the energy generated by the explosion of explosives in the center of the ammunition to cause fragments evenly distributed around the projectile to fly out in all directions at the same time."

"But the shrapnel, just like the shells of a shotgun, obtains kinetic energy from the energy of the propellant itself."

"The small explosion it made during flight actually served to scatter the small steel balls inside."

"In fact, the speed of each small steel ball is almost the same as the previous whole cannonball."

"Each of these small steel balls has a mass of about ten grams."

"They fly towards the target at a high speed of about 1,000 meters per second, and their kinetic energy is 5,000 joules."

"In addition, these so-called small steel balls are all tungsten alloy, so their ultimate damage capability is equivalent to a full-power 62mm caliber rifle bullet."

"Even better."

Anya knows how lethal the 762 full-power bullet can be.

From what Ruger said, those small steel balls might have the damaging effect of 762 armor-piercing bullets.

In this way, she finally understood why this thing could directly knock the werewolf to the ground.

With this in mind, she already poked her head out to look at the Paladins who were about to be hit.

As a result, it was found that the cannonball seemed to be aimed slightly forward, and countless steel balls flew out, but it did not do anything to the Paladins.

On the contrary, the masonry city wall was hit by the steel ball, and the massive kinetic energy caused pieces to fly everywhere.

"this……"

Anya was still wondering when she heard the Ruger loudspeaker sounding again.

"Stand there and don't move!"

"If you try to run away again, the city wall won't be the only one who gets beaten up next time!"

Frightened by this close thing, the Paladins who had just prepared to sneak away no longer dared to move and just stood there.

Seeing that they were still obedient, Luger didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned off the speaker and explained in a low voice to the other two people.

"The effective range of this artillery shell is actually only about 700 meters. If it is farther, the flight speed of the artillery shell will be greatly attenuated, and the kinetic energy of the small steel ball may not be able to penetrate the armor of those Paladins."

"I just scare them."

What he said is true.

After all, the Little Bear Assault Cannon is now about five or six hundred meters away from the werewolf, which is far away from the city wall, at least one kilometer.

The city wall near the Paladins who ran further north must be more than 1,100 meters away from Ruger.

Even if the cannonball's velocity attenuation is only 100 meters per second at a position of one kilometer, the kinetic energy of the small steel balls will be reduced to around 3,500 to 3,070 joules.

This is also the result of Ruger adjusting the fuse time for the disintegration explosive to explode.

Otherwise, if the steel balls are dispersed after flying three to five hundred meters like before, then if they reach one kilometer away, not to mention the greater kinetic energy attenuation of the small steel balls, the degree of light dispersion will not be enough to pose a threat to the Paladins. .

This is also the reason why the effective range of this tank shell is short.

After all, the purpose of equipping tanks with this kind of ammunition is to counter enemy infantry, and it is meaningless if the effective range is long.

But Ruger has much more freedom when he makes his own ammunition. He can make an anti-aircraft grenade with a time fuse similar to the one fired by the 88 anti-aircraft gun.

In fact, the one that just hit the Paladins came from this kind of bullet.

But unlike anti-aircraft grenades, which rely on the explosion of explosives to energize fragments, this one is essentially a shrapnel, and the explosive detonated by the fuse only plays the role of throwing away the steel balls.

Also listening to his explanation, Sarah just said "That's it" and didn't seem to be very interested, but Anya, a good student, had already frowned and started thinking about it.

She soon asked, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be nice if you added more explosives to the part that detonated the fuse, and then accelerated those small steel balls?"

Luger immediately laughed after hearing this and praised the little witch, "It's amazing, you almost developed the directional fragmentation warhead."

What he said was a bit flattering to his granddaughter.

The principle of the directional fragmentation warhead is more complicated than this.

Adding an extra set of detonating charges to the shrapnel will turn the shrapnel into a high-explosive grenade with steel ball fragments added and the fragments mainly attack forward.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a kind of directional fragmentation.

But the real directional fragmentation warhead requires not only the ability to explode fragments mainly forward, but also to detonate in whichever direction it is close to the target.

But these things are relatively unimportant.

Because while a few people were joking, the werewolf who had been beaten to the ground actually stood up again.

He just made a pose similar to that of a bodybuilder, and then forced the tungsten alloy steel balls out of his body.

After the fragment was forced out, he relied on the werewolf's resilience far beyond ordinary people to quickly stop the bleeding and even gradually healed it.

In just two or three seconds, except for some blood stains on the werewolf's back, no obvious wounds could be seen.

The only thing that made people care was that his wolf's mouth was stained with large traces of flesh and blood from an unknown creature.

It seemed that he had gained such a powerful recovery ability by eating something alive.

"Okay." Ruger's voice quickly came from the loudspeaker.

"A mere twenty-five-year-old boy, but his vitality is very tenacious."

"Sure enough, good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years!"

I don’t know if it was because of the surging blood or because Ruger’s words hit the werewolf’s sore spot, but the guy stood up straight, but did not act rashly, and instead angrily cursed at Ruger.

However, some of the words used in that were obviously beyond the scope of the local common language.

So Ruger could only roughly guess that he was cursing himself, but he couldn’t understand what he was cursing.

But just because he couldn’t understand it didn’t mean that others couldn’t understand it.

Halfway through, Anya in the front cockpit couldn’t control herself anymore, and used ice magic to make a loudspeaker to curse at the werewolf.

Her “action” not only scared Ruger and Sarah, but also confused the werewolf over there.

But when he saw clearly that it was Anya who was cursing at him, the big wolf head laughed instead.

"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be you, the traitor!"

"You said that I was lurking around those people and then betrayed them. You are a despicable person."

"Anyone has the right to say such things, but you, Anya, don't have the right to do so!"

"Who did I betray? The object of my original loyalty was the Paladin Order."

"I was lurking around that Tia in order to complete the mission of the Order."

"Do you think I am willing to play house with such a little girl?"

"I have been absolutely loyal to the Order from beginning to end!"

"On the other hand, Anya! It was the Order that accepted you when you were the most destitute and helpless. But what about you? What are you doing now?"

"Do you know that the person behind you is the Order's biggest enemy?"

"You are a shameful and despicable traitor!"
