Chapter 366: Manganese Steel Armor
In the valley, a piece of land is planned to be used to cultivate land and grow rice.
With a steady stream of gushing groundwater, it is more than enough to grow rice, and there is no need to worry about whether there will be a shortage of water.
Lu Chensheng's students were each assigned dozens of acres of rice fields, and there were old farmers who were responsible for cultivating them, and they were responsible for recording various fertilization data.
And the students themselves are also in charge of these fields.
Uncle Lin's speed of building the Quyuan plow was still very fast, and after having the Quyuan plow, the cattle in the valley also came in handy.
So in the valley people could see buffalo, which often covered themselves in mud.
10,000 acres of land was quickly plowed out, and things like rice planting were more familiar to Erhu and others, and they would also go down to the field to help.
On this day, the nomads hurriedly brought their good horses to the city of Xinghan because of their thoughts on iron tools, all kinds of salt and other things.
They were not allowed to enter the valley, and the place of trade was in the old city.
Originally, Lu Chensheng was still a little worried about whether the other party would regret it and then cancel the transaction or something.
If that were the case, the two thousand good horses would be gone.
But in fact, Lu Chensheng was a little overthinking.
The rest of the other parties were even more worried than Lu Chensheng.
When the war horse came to Xinghan City, Lu Chensheng asked Bai Yi to go and discern it, but it was not to be indiscriminate.
After careful identification, it was determined that there were no problems with the horses, and the transaction was successful.
Lu Chensheng collected these good horses and happily brought them to the valley, where the place was very large enough for these horses to run.
And the nomads were given all kinds of iron tools and left happily.
"Gather your soldiers and give you something good!"
Lu Chensheng saw that the good horses had already arrived, and hurriedly said to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know what this good thing Lu Chensheng was talking about, but he still nodded and asked the soldiers to gather.
At this moment, the soldiers have been well trained, and the speed of assembly is extremely fast.
When they converged towards their destination, their faces were full of solemnity, and their steps were uniform.
The farmers who were still working on the side couldn't help but look sideways when they saw such a scene.
Probably in their place, they have never seen such an elite.
The soldiers of this team give them an extremely elite feeling from any point of view.
"What's good?"
Bai Yi led the soldiers and soon came to the assembly point, and then looked at Lu Chensheng in front of him, quite expectantly.
"Remember the gift I told you I wanted to give you when I was in the imperial capital of Dacang Kingdom before, right? That's it. ”
After speaking, Lu Chensheng lifted the cloth on the box on the side and exposed all the things inside.
In the middle of the box, lying were all kinds of armor that looked extremely heavy, and there was a cold light under the pitch black.
Bai Yi was slightly stunned when she saw it, and then hurriedly stepped forward and stroked it carefully, she could feel a trace of extremely heavy feeling brought to her by this armor.
"Let the soldiers put it on and try it on."
Lu Chensheng waved his hand, and immediately a soldier stepped forward and put this armor on his body.
The armor was heavier, but at the same time it gave the soldier a great sense of security, as he could feel that he was wrapped tightly all over his body.
The armor is pitch black as a whole, and occasionally painted red in a few places, making it look majestic from a distance.
The color of the armor, Lu Chensheng is a reference to the Qin army, and the Qin army likes black.
And the army covered in black will indeed give the enemy a sense of oppression.
"Here, put them all on together."
Lu Chensheng beckoned everyone and put on their armor together.
The armor made of manganese steel is heavier than that of 100 steels, and it is also a loss that these soldiers have been constantly trained in physical fitness before.
Therefore, Lu Chensheng does not have to worry that they will not be able to bear such a weight.
After a while, the two thousand soldiers put on their armor one after another, and when they let it go, all of them were covered in pitch-black armor, and even there was only a little part of their faces.
It can be said that the armor of this body is almost armed with the whole body.
"Here, you take your weapon and test the hardness of your armor."
Lu Chensheng said to Bai Yi.
When Bai Yi brought people here, all of them had blades, and they used their own blades to try the manganese steel armor developed by Lu Chensheng.
Let's see how the two compare.
Hearing this, Bai Yi called a soldier to step forward, pulled out his previous military broadsword, and slashed at the chest of the armor with a sudden blow.
Almost all the armor was the hardest here, and she wanted to test how hard it was.
"Choke!"
There was a clashing of iron tools, and sparks flew everywhere.
Bai Yi looked intently, only to see the place where he was starting the armor, there was only a shallow trace on it, and it looked like it was unscathed.
When he turned his head to look at his blade, the edge of the knife was already rolled up.
Seeing such a scene, the soldiers on the side all took a breath, and then couldn't help touching the armor that wrapped their whole body.
The armor on this body is so strong, then they can kill the enemy on the battlefield with confidence!
Bai Yi's face was solemn, "How is this armor made?" ”
At this moment, Bai Yi's eyes were full of incredulity, she had never imagined that the armor could be so strong.
With two thousand soldiers in such armor right now, she felt that this was already a divine soldier!
With such a team, it will be invincible in the future!
"Of course it's forged, but it's quite expensive."
When Lu Chensheng said this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, this is really expensive.
Such a suit of armor is covered in it, and if a set is cleared, tens of thousands of taels of silver will still be required.
This is still because Lu Chensheng has his own craftsmen, and then secretly occupied a piece of manganese ore, which greatly reduced expenses.
But even so, there is still a lot of money invested here.
In the early stage, in order to study 100 steels and manganese steel, a lot of silver has been invested.
Bai Yi naturally knew that armor like this should be extremely expensive.
It's just that their previous armaments, when they wear out and have to be replaced, are an astronomical amount every year.
Therefore, Bai Yi is quite clear about this.
Now that Lu Chensheng said it, although he didn't specify how much it was, Bai Yi could probably guess a rough idea.
At best, such a sturdy armor is basically impossible to say that the cost is extremely low.
