The gradual treatment of the desertification around Lake Eyre brought bad news: the testing of the new shells and bullets could no longer be conducted in the desert east of Lake Eyre.
This relatively small desert had already undergone some improvement under the Environmental Governance Department and had even begun to see trees planted.
Conducting tests in such a place would clearly only create trouble for the people from the Environmental Governance Department.
After a brief discussion, Arthur decided to move the testing site to the desert north of Lake Eyre. It was not too far away, and they could reach it by car in just over two hours.
After several twists and turns, everyone finally arrived at the desert north of Lake Eyre and officially began testing the shells and bullets.
The tests obviously could not use real people, so they used one fat cow and sheep after another to simulate human bodies.
The new bullets were tested first. Whether fired at cows or sheep, the new bullets caused fairly obvious damage.
From the front, they left only tiny bullet holes, but after the fragments flew out through the back, the damage they inflicted on the rear was astonishing.
Although a long firing distance might cause the fragments to remain inside the body, injuries of this severity would be almost impossible to save even with timely surgery.
As long as the bullet struck the center of the human body, the fragments produced when it ruptured could rapidly destroy the body's vital organs.
Even with the technology of later generations, saving such wounded soldiers would not be easy, let alone now, nearly a century earlier.
To sum it up simply, if someone was struck head-on by this kind of bullet, perhaps death was the best outcome. Severe wounds would only
