Chapter 204: Armor and Beasts

Lathes and drilling machines are good things for making other machinery in large quantities and quickly, which is one of the reasons why Yan Lide is willing to come to Liaodong, and their brothers are attracted by Zou Yu's proposal and many new things, so they are willing to continue to work as a supervisor.

Riveting is a very powerful way, but for steel, pure hand, many places can not do, which requires lathe grinding, drilling machine punching, even if the hydraulic power can not be as fast as the steam engine, so much horsepower, but it can also be used.

These things have been proposed, and what remains is for professionals to continue to experiment and improve, and now it is just the first step in the long march.

Yan Lide smiled very happily at the waterwheel driving the hammer and beating the steel, although he participated in the production of many large-scale projects, he also used water power and gears, even if those projects were more vast, he was not as happy as he is today.

You must know that in the past, it was often used in architecture, no matter how ingenious and vast it was, it was just a building, more for the royal service.

Now the production is a tool, after making it, it can greatly improve work efficiency, and it is convenient and fast, he believes that he can do more and better in the future!

This kind of thing will make people feel a great sense of accomplishment, and it will make people happier than a satisfactory design in the past. He can foresee that the name will be passed down through the ages, which is inevitable, and according to the current situation, he is confident that he will be able to achieve the second public loss class.

"Haha! Not bad! Not bad! When the big and small hammers stopped, Yan Lide picked up the two steel armors, looked at them again and again, and laughed heartily.

"General? When did you come? Zou Yu stepped forward and took the steel armor from Yan Lide's hand, and Yan Lide asked in a daze.

"I've been here for a while, and I didn't bother when I saw that the master was busy." Zou Yu replied with a smile.

"I didn't know that the general was coming, and his subordinates were out of welcome!" Yan Lide said politely.

"You're welcome!"

"The steel has been tempered repeatedly to make it thinner and lighter, which is really good!" Zou Yu weighed the steel armor in his hand and exclaimed.

"Armor is a trivial matter, in the eyes of the subordinates, the casting is enough, and then the subordinates will try to do it a few more times, and then they can start making crossbow arrows, catapults and other things." Yan Lide said with a smile.

"The cast armor is enough for ordinary soldiers, but for generals, it is still not good enough, there will be some impact activities, it is better to carefully make it." Zou Yu explained.

"I belong to a literati and don't know much about it." Yan Lide said with a little embarrassment.

In the past, craftsmen supervised the production of weapons and armor, and there were special craftsmen to make them, this kind of thing, the more skilled the craftsmen, the better the production, although Yan Lide is a master craftsman, but he really wants to make it, but some workers do it better.

"There is a specialization in the art industry, the master doesn't need to be embarrassed, your talent is not in these places, really let you do it to make armor, that is a violent thing!" Zou Yu said with a smile.

"Huh! The general has won the prize. Yan Lide was very happy to be praised, and said modestly with a smile.

"During this time, I want to trouble the master to arrange someone for the generals to make a good armor." Zou Yu said.

"No problem, the general will describe the physical characteristics of the generals to his subordinates, as well as the style requirements of the armor.

At present, these two waterwheels can already be done, and some details can be dealt with. Yan Lide nodded in agreement.

The armor of the generals is different from that of the soldiers, the kind of full-body steel armor is not very suitable, and it needs to be lined and connected with leather, which is not only very comfortable to wear, but also easy to move, and does not affect the defense.

In general, the armor of a general, including helmets, shoulder pads, wrist pads, chest pads, back pads, battle skirts, and leg guards, was composed of seven parts, connected by leather armor, inlaid on them.

The armor required by Zou Yu is different, first of all, the helmet, the general's helmet can be fully covered, the mask is put down, it can cover the face, only the eyes are outside, the nostrils are obliquely down, there is no fear that anyone can hurt it, and this helmet is also lined with animal skin, and there is still steel armor protection around the neck.

The shoulder pad is from the neck, connected to the elbow, and below is the wrist guard, so it can be said that unless the elbow joint is cut, it is difficult to hurt people.

The chest and back guards, including the waist, are surrounded by a whole piece of steel armor, and when worn, they need to be put down from the head, which is not only excellent for defending against swords, guns, swords, and halberds, because it is an oval whole, and it is also very effective for heavy weapon strikes.

The lower body defense is relatively simpler, the battle skirt is the same as before, defending both sides of the thighs, and does not affect the riding of the war horse, the leg guards are to protect the calves, mainly the generals sometimes use their legs, it is better to have the leg guards, and they are not afraid of fighting.

Liaodong has a large number of wolf skins, but these are mainly used for lining when making armor for ordinary soldiers, Liu Renliang's dog troops, to hunt a large number of fierce beasts, but these skins are too damaged, so it is not very practical, so Zou Yu felt that he took matters into his own hands and hunted a group of fierce beasts.

Are there many beasts now? That's really too much, it can be said that where there are mountains, there must be tigers! In any big mountain, there will be so many tigers!

Don't say that one mountain is not allowed to have two tigers, that is because there are many mountains, so they are very distributed, and it looks like a tiger lives in a mountain, in fact, several mountains that are close to each other are likely to be a large family.

Tigers, bears, cheetahs, wild boars, and wolves are the most important beasts in the north, wolves are generally in the grassland, and there are relatively few forest wolves; Cheetahs are similar to bears, although there are not too many, but a big mountain, there are always some, wild boars are more widely distributed, all over the country, everywhere they are found, and because they belong to the group, tigers are not hungry and panicked, and they will not provoke them.

Relatively speaking, there are more tigers, not to mention those mountains, even in populated villages, there are often rumors of tigers hurting people. The government also has additional rewards for hunters who hunt tigers, and even the royal family will have an autumn hunt every year, which is to set an example, which means to eliminate harm for the people! In the earliest days, this activity was the same as that of the steppe nomads, the autumn hunt and slaughter of wolves, all in order to rule the people and live a better life.

It was only later that it gradually changed its flavor and became a royal event, a ceremony, and a ceremonial event.

The tiger is a huge threat to the people in the Central Plains, because of its ferocity and large number; Of course, this is also because of the sparse population, too many barren mountains and mountains, and good living conditions for wild beasts.

This sentence is to describe that the decree is too harsh and makes it impossible for the people to live, but doesn't it show how powerful the tiger is and how much harm it does to the people?

……… (Maybe you don't have a specific number in mind, you don't have a clear idea.) After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the land was implemented to the head, the people's enthusiasm for opening up the land increased greatly, encroaching on the habitat of wild beasts, and there were often tigers hurting people, the country set up a big tiger hero team, and in a few years, it was recorded that three or four thousand tigers were hunted, not to mention other animals. )
