Part 2/8:
The narrative opens with the speaker inspecting a large, heavily rusted orlikon 20mm cannon, possibly dragged from the English Channel. The extent of corrosion is immediately evident—rust covering many parts, with specific mention of the barrel's end being "weird looking." The cannons’ construction features distinct materials: the top lid and the base are brass, while the middle section is steel. This dissimilarity in materials hints at the complexity of the cannon's design and potentially its age and manufacturing process.
