Chapter 919: The Sergeant's Armor is as Thin as Paper
Emperor Hong De looked at Leng Rongyue with doubt in his eyes, "Can you see clearly at night?
The night is pitch black. Without the starlight and moonlight, it's pitch dark. How can you see clearly? "
Leng Rongyuewei smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, wait until night, you might as well give it a try!"
Emperor Hong De held the telescope and couldn't let it go.
Under Leng Rongyue's guidance, I learned to turn the knob to zoom.
Through the telescope, Hong Dedi saw that the farthest wall was moving...
As he twisted the knob with his thumb and index finger, the wall came closer and closer... until it was right in front of him.
Emperor Hong De slowly moved the telescope...
Suddenly, Emperor Hong De stretched out a finger and pointed to a place in front of him, "There is a spider over there!"
Emperor Hong De held the telescope close to his eyes and looked at it. Everyone at the table could only see his mouth open in surprise.
"spider?"
When they heard Emperor Hong De talking about spiders, everyone looked in the direction he pointed... but they couldn't see anything.
"Your Majesty, are you saying... did you see a spider?
where is it? "
The third young master Fu Mingxiu asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, can you really see spiders?"
The eldest son Fu Mingjun was also curious.
"Yes, I can see it clearly!
The spider is right there on the opposite wall, right in front of you from here!"
Hong Dedi held the telescope in one hand and pressed the fingers of the other hand tightly against the lens of the telescope.
Emperor Hong De himself was still excited by the telescope.
Others were itching with greed—
Who doesn’t want a baby like this?
Everyone looked at Leng Rongyue.
Leng Rongyue saw that Emperor Hong De was still happily playing with the telescope, so she secretly raised her eyebrows and winked at everyone.
Everyone immediately understood what Leng Rongyue meant—
They will have it too.
Yue'er would also give them such a treasure, but not at this moment.
That’s right, Yue’er just said that this telescope was given to Emperor Hongde as a birthday gift.
If the Emperor's centenary birthday gift were given to everyone instantly, then this rare centenary birthday gift would not be so rare anymore!
This so-called birthday gift has lost its meaning and is no longer fragrant.
Well, then let the emperor enjoy it for a while!
After realizing this, everyone stopped talking and let Emperor Hong De play with the telescope until he put it down with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
Leng Rongyue saw that Emperor Hongde's enthusiasm for the telescope had finally faded a little, so he continued, "Your Majesty, if you really want to experience the wonders of this telescope, it's best to go to a place with a wide field of view or stand on a high place.
The higher you stand, the wider your vision, and the more you can appreciate its beauty."
At this moment, hearing Leng Rongyue say this, Emperor Hong De could already imagine...
With this telescope, I'm afraid that the distant mountains will appear in front of me in an instant.
Emperor Hong De had already secretly made up his mind -
After returning to the palace today, he must take Aying to the palace wall, look down at the capital city from a high vantage point, and fully appreciate the wonders of this telescope.
I also want to see what the residences of my ministers are like;
What are their lives like?
Is it simple?
Or extravagance?
By the way, you can also count how many dishes are served for their dinner.
Emperor Hongde was still secretly wondering what he could see by climbing up the high walls of the palace with a telescope, but he was brought back to his senses by his son's question.
Then Xiao Jingyu asked Leng Rongyue, "Yue'er, these are all rifles, but this one with a bracket... is it a more powerful rifle?"
"Your Highness, Prince Yu, this thing with a bracket is called a machine gun."
Leng Rongyue replied.
"There are many types of machine guns, such as light machine guns, heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc. This is just one of them."
"Then... Yue'er, the light machine guns, general-purpose machine guns, heavy machine guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns you mentioned, are they differentiated by their weight?
Also, anti-aircraft machine guns...are they used to shoot down high objects?"
At this moment, Xiao Jingyu had turned into a curious baby.
Leng Rongyue thought about it and felt that explaining the various parameters of the machine gun was a bit complicated and could not be explained in just a few words.
Especially the anti-aircraft machine gun, do I need to explain that it is used to shoot down planes?
Then don’t we have to talk about what an airplane is?
Uh... let's forget it!
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Leng Rongyue's forehead.
Therefore, Leng Rongyue chose the simplest range to explain.
"Your Highness, Prince Yu, if we talk about the differences between these machine guns... in terms of type, purpose, and range, there are huge differences.
But it’s more complicated to explain in detail.
In terms of range alone, there are obvious differences between various types of machine guns.
For example, a light machine gun.
The effective range of a light machine gun is usually 600 to 800 meters;
The effective range of the general-purpose machine gun is 800 to 1100 meters;
The effective range of a heavy machine gun can reach 1000 to 1500 meters.
Some anti-aircraft machine guns or special models of machine guns have an effective range of more than 1500 meters.
Not only can they hit targets at great distances, but they also possess extremely strong penetrating power...
The armor that soldiers wear when they go into battle is like a piece of paper in front of machine guns. It has completely lost its protective function!
