I
agree
with
you
,
my
good
friend
;
and
,
in
fact
,
following
this
proportion
for
a
projectile
nine
feet
in
diameter
,
weighing
30,000
pounds
,
the
gun
would
only
have
a
length
of
two
hundred
and
twenty
-
five
feet
,
and
a
weight
of
7,200,000
pounds
.
"

"
Ridiculous
!
"
rejoined
Maston
.
"
As
well
take
a
pistol
.
"
253
"
I
think
so
too
,
"
replied
Barbicane
;
"
that
is
why
I
propose
to
quadruple
that
length
,
and
to
construct
a
gun
of
nine
hundred
feet
.

The
general
and
the
major
offered
some
objections
;
nevertheless
,
the
proposition
,
actively
supported
by
the
secretary
,
was
definitely
adopted
.
255
"
But
,
"
said
Elphinstone
,
"
what
thickness
must
we
give
it
?
"
256
"
A
thickness
of
six
feet
,
"
replied
Barbicane
.
257
"
You
surely
do
n't
think
of
mounting
a
mass
like
that
upon
a
carriage
?
"
asked
the
major
.

"
It
would
be
a
superb
idea
,
though
,
"
said
Maston
.
259
"
But
impracticable
,
"
replied
Barbicane
.
"
No
,
I
think
of
sinking
this
engine
in
the
earth
alone
,
binding
it
with
hoops
of
wrought
iron
,
and
finally
surrounding
it
with
a
thick
mass
of
masonry
of
stone
and
cement
.
The
piece
once
cast
,
it
must
be
bored
with
great
precision
,
so
as
to
preclude
any
possible
windage
.
So
there
will
be
no
loss
whatever
of
gas
,
and
all
the
expansive
force
of
the
powder
will
be
employed
in
the
propulsion
.

"
One
simple
question
,
"
said
Elphinstone
:
"
is
our
gun
to
be
rifled
?
"
