Chapter 58 Lost and Found Type 88 Cannon
What would happen if the wings of an airplane flying at high speed were hit with dents and gaps?
The aerodynamic shape is destroyed, resulting in turbulent airflow, which can easily cause instability and imbalance if you are not careful.
Although it won't disintegrate on the spot, if you want to land alive on the ground, it depends more or less on luck.
Although the flight principle of insects relying on the flapping of membrane wings is not exactly the same as that of artificial aircraft, there is no difference in that wings are the main structure that provides lift.

The flying posture of the steel-blade mantises will be affected somewhat after being hit by deer bullet steel balls on their membrane wings.
Their flying speed naturally slowed down.
Over there, Tiya emptied the three-barreled shotgun, immediately freed up her hand to load the pump action, and shot out the remaining five rounds in the magazine.
It's a pity that although the 870DM has a fast rate of fire, it is not as fast as two guns firing at the same time.
Although Tia still hit Mantis, the threat to them was far less than before.
Tia shouted while changing the magazine: "Ruger, help quickly."
At this time, Luger, who was lying on the ground, had already drawn his gun and aimed it upward.
With Tia's experience, he understood that the power of the shotgun could only create some obstacles for the mantises, but it was unable to penetrate their chitin armor.
So, he directly copied the 762-caliber HK417, which had not been opened much.
While Tia was fighting with Mantis, he was already aiming intently behind the holographic sight.
When Tiya called for help, he was still concentrating on aiming, holding his breath and not answering.
Just when Tia was changing the magazine and was about to be hit by the steel blade of a mantis, "bang", a gun rang out on his side.
A 762-caliber armor-piercing bullet quickly passed through the muzzle and directly hit the mantis in the neck.
"pretty!"
Tia couldn't help but exclaimed. She picked up the loaded shotgun with her backhand and hit the last mantis with "bang bang bang".
Luger was actually a little confused.
His shot originally hit Mantis's arm, and it was to save Tiya.
But he didn't expect that Mantis would speed up again and send its neck in front of the bullet.
The kinetic energy of the 762-caliber armor-piercing bullet is several times higher than that of a shotgun bullet, and its storage speed is better.
This shot actually broke the mantis' thin neck.
However, judging from the time when the system kill record popped up, this shot did not actually directly kill the mantis.
The guy fell to the ground and broke his neck.
In an instant, only one of the three mantis hunters was left.
The hunter becomes the hunted.
Although Tia's shotgun kept firing, the mantis had already begun to retreat and no longer attacked, but instead waited for an opportunity to escape.
At this time, the patrol bees behind saw that the situation was not good and began to fire stingers from a distance to cover the mantis's retreat.
Tia was very unhappy with these guys who damaged her 88mm cannon. When she saw it escaping, she wanted to keep it and kill them all.
After discovering that the shotgun was not easy to use, she simply pulled the rapid grenade launcher on the gun mount behind her forward and fired randomly at the mysterious figure in the air.
Seeing her like this, Luger quickly changed from lying down to lying down, raised his gun and joined in the pursuit.
However, their luck seemed to have run out. They took out a few strings of bullets and hit a lot of patrol bees, but they still let the mantis run away.
"Brother Lu, help me, I want to kill it!"
Tia looked at the guy running away in front of her with hatred and yelled.
Before Luge could speak, the shadow lynx Lao Noisy shouted first:
"Retreat quickly, their reinforcements are coming!"
The two of them took a look in the direction it pointed out, and they saw that there were more than a dozen steel-blade mantises charging toward them menacingly!
It seemed that these guys had regarded them as small prey that had accidentally fallen into the trap.
After being beaten and disabled, I found out that they were tough, so I immediately changed my attitude.
They actually sent a whole team of mantises to deal with them.
"run!"
"run!"
No matter how unwilling she was, Tia instantly reached an agreement with Luger, put away the guy and turned around and ran away with him.
Luger threw some small cans out as he ran.
"Puff puff puff~"
Gray smoke spread from it, accompanied by some pungent smell.
It is an improved smoke bomb, similar to peppercorn tear gas.
The two people who quickly cast their shadow cloaks fled the scene under the cover of thick smoke.
In this brief conflict, the two of them generally took advantage.
Mainly because Luger collected the half-space guns.
But Xiaotiya's side was miserable.
The carefully selected 88mm cannon was chopped into scrap metal, and her little face was almost wrinkled into a bitter melon.
Luge wanted to comfort her, but she forced herself to pretend to listen to his comfort, which was not only funny but also heartbreaking.
After much deliberation, Luge decided not to persuade her, and took Little Tiya and ran toward the edge of the underground space.
Then, while Tiya was distracted, he went out for a spin, and then drove the small chariot back.
"Huh? Are you back here already?"
Tia said with some emotion.
Luge thought to himself: How is it possible? This place is probably not at least a few kilometers away from the place where the chariot was stored before.
After a lot of running around, and with nothing to navigate in the underground space, the two of them had long since lost their way.
I really want to run back to where I came from, but it wonβt be possible within a few hours.
Luger just found a deserted place to drive the small tank out of the space.
In response to Tia's question, Luger just said that he had done some tricks on the tank, so he could find it back.
But it was impossible to run back to the tunnel entrance along the way he came.
Tia just nodded indifferently after hearing this. She didn't really care about how to get out.
On the contrary, the only thing in her big eyes was the new cannon on the top of the small tank.
"Brother Lu, what is that?!"
She swept away her previous depression and asked excitedly.
"Why do I feel that it is different from the previous cannons?"
Of course it is different, Luger thought.
All the previous cannons were old cannons from World War II.
Not to mention how backward the shells used were in terms of explosive structure specifications, the cannon itself made the user quite worried.
What recoil is too large, accuracy is not enough, gunpowder smell is too strong, leaks, etc.
That is to say, in the world war where people are also a kind of consumables, no one would find faults.
But for his own use, Ruger didn't want to be shaken by the recoil and choked by the smell of gunpowder in the carriage.
During the time he was out strolling, he ran back to the logistics space to make another gun with the collected materials.
88mm caliber mortar howitzer.
In general, this gun is a compromise product made by using the technical route of the 120mm caliber howitzer and the barrel of the 88mm gun.
Ruger didn't want to make the 120 gun directly.
But the system price of the barrel is too high.
He can only use the 88mm gun as a discount coupon to buy a mortar howitzer barrel of the same caliber.
And there are no ready-made shells, so he has to make them himself.
And this kind of mortar howitzer can fire rapidly and continuously, and the consumption of ammunition is quite high.
Although this gun is installed now, it only makes Tia happy.
In fact, there are not many shells, and it is basically unusable.
Simply put, it is still a prototype for now.
Alas, it is also difficult for Luger.
It is already amazing that he can make the cannon in such a short time, so where is the time to do other things.
Fortunately, his hard work was not in vain.
