Chapter 34: The Good Life (22)
I saw Zheng Ying take out a beautifully made purse from the drawer, and poured out a bracelet from it and held it on the palm of her hand. The main body made of modern alloys is made into an unclosed ring. At the end of the ring is a curved swan floating on the water. The bracelet is bright silver as a whole, and the whole body is set with Soviet diamonds of various sizes, which are a type of zircon, and they look like diamonds. In the sunlight shining through the windows, the shine flowed and shone brightly, and the whole room was illuminated with silver light.
If the silver mirror brought surprise to Su Xiaoman and others, then this bracelet brought shock. Su Xiaoman was also a famous person back then, in terms of knowledge, it was not comparable to ordinary people, and he had seen a lot of rare treasures. But the material of this bracelet in front of me has never been seen before, neither gold nor silver, neither copper nor iron. It was filled with gems that were crystal clearer than glass, and at first she thought it was crystal, but when she looked closely, she was sure that it was a gem that she had never seen before.
The Liu family is a real rich family, and Master Liu has some treasures, but compared to this bracelet, it is a bit of a trivial. As for Liu Manwen and Liu Hongguo, they can't take their eyes off the bracelet.
After Zheng Ying finished showing it, she said: "Second lady, when my brother gave me this bracelet, he said that in the Liu Mansion, only the old man and the second lady really treat him as a nephew, so the first thing that comes to mind when I have no one to take care of me is the second lady." He also said that this is called family affection, which cannot be measured by value, just like he did to me. My brother had some adventures in the past, and by chance he got some rare treasures, except for this bracelet and a hairpin, I don't know the rest."
Zheng Ying said and took out the hairpin that Zheng Yu gave her from the drawer and displayed it in front of everyone. Then he said: "My brother said that the husband was not guilty and that he was guilty, so he didn't want these things to come out on the market, but used them to give them to the few relatives in this world and to those who were kind to him. And you are not only a benefactor but also a relative to my brother, so my brother told me to find a time to be alone with you and hand over the bracelet to you, so that you don't think too much about it and accept it with peace of mind. Only the two sisters were present today, and they were all family members, so Ying'er took it out at this time, Second Madam, please understand my brother's hard work and accept this thing." After speaking, he sent the bracelet and purse to Su Xiaoman.
After hearing these words, Su Xiaoman's eyes flowed with light waves, took the bracelet, stretched out his hand and gently stroked Zheng Ying's hair, and said: "Good boy, the second aunt has accepted it, don't call the wife but the aunt, this will be your second home in the future, whether your brother has anything to do or not, you have to come back to live for a few days, accompany your sister and second aunt, and it can be regarded as filial piety for your brother." A happy smile appeared on his face as he spoke.
Zheng Ying nodded yes. Recovering from the shock, Liu Manwen and Liu Hongguo listened to Zheng Ying's words, and their hearts were very moved, and their feelings of jealousy and envy disappeared. The two of them still had a grudge against Zheng Yu at this time, so they passed on this move to Zheng Ying, the two girls took Zheng Ying's hands respectively, and Liu Manwen said: "Sister Ying'er, it was the sisters' fault before, you were wronged, can you forgive us?" ”
Zheng Ying held the two girls with her backhand and said with a smile: "Where did my sister say, Ying'er didn't feel wronged at all, it was just a misunderstanding, and it was all over, why did my sister mention it." Hearing this, the three girls hugged each other happily. Su Xiaoman on the side shed a line of tears of relief. I rolled up my sleeves and wiped it, and I burst into laughter.
Zheng Yu, who had a scruffy beard, was wearing a sleeveless undershirt that could no longer see his true color, a pair of linen pants of his own design on his legs, and a pair of black straw sandals on his feet, squatting in front of a blast furnace with sweating profusely, staring intently at the observation hole in the middle of the furnace. There was also a group of people in the back who were also dressed and focused.
I don't know how many furnaces of molten steel there are, and the steel that was smelted before for various reasons did not meet the quality requirements. The steelmakers led by Master Liu have been working tirelessly for several days. In this tense atmosphere, a shout was suddenly heard: "Open the furnace" Everyone heard the sound, and they all retreated some distance, and the fiery red molten steel poured out of the blast furnace and flowed into the container in front. Seeing that the color of the molten steel was evenly distributed, and it was basically the same everywhere, everyone was relieved. The molten steel is then poured into the prepared mold. After cooling, it is demoulded and polished. A cold and shining *** knife appeared in Zheng Yu's hand.
Zheng Yu carefully looked at this vicious cold weapon from the future. The bayonet is about 30 centimeters long, cone-shaped, with three deep blood grooves on the blade, and no blade so it has no cutting function, this is a pure killing weapon, because it is an experimental product, it is temporarily mounted on a long wooden stick used to replace the firecracker.
Zheng Yu took a deep breath, held a wooden stick in both hands and stabbed it out with a loud shout at a fan of mutton covered with armor in front of him.
"Poof....." There was a soft sound, and *** easily pierced through the armor, and the nearly five-centimeter-thick mutton was pierced in half. The whole bayonet went in rootlessly.
The testers stepped forward to check the results, and were even more surprised to find that *** did not pass through the gap between the nail pieces, but through the middle of the entire nail piece. This is an imitation of the specifications of the armor of the generals currently equipped in the army, and the thickness of the armor and the defensive power are beyond doubt. And in front of this weapon invented by the owner called ***, it is as fragile as paper and can be easily penetrated, what kind of perverted armor-piercing ability is this.
Unplugged *** and looked at it carefully, there was no trace of damage. This fully meets the equipment requirements. At this time, the test results of various test tools cast by molten steel casting also came out after processing, and the hardness, toughness, and chopping effect far exceeded the original requirements. Compared with the quality of the current 100 steel-making top weapons, I don't know how many streets have been thrown. When Wang Ying and the others saw this result, their faces changed. They come from the military and know all too well what it means to be able to mass-produce 100 steel knives. Before Zhuangzi has enough self-protection ability, this kind of steel must not be passed on, otherwise it will face a catastrophe. Those present were all the core personnel of Zhuangzi, and everyone knew it.
Zheng Yu decided to first build a batch of 500 *** with card shoots and 20 command knives for officers to seal and reserve. The style of the command knife is modeled on the Tang sword, with a shortened grip and a ring-patterned gauntlet at the handle. In the future, it can also be used directly as a cavalry knife. Wang Ying, Zheng Tai and others salivated when they heard it, and they booked one by one early.
In terms of protection, Zheng Yu also had a preliminary idea, considering the disadvantages of reopening the "armor removal wind", on the premise of having qualified steel. Full-body chainmail is preferred, a long-sleeved shirt-like chainmail top, a knee-length chainmail shorts, and a whole piece of steel armor is added to the main part. This is not only light and breathable, but also does not weaken the protective force, and more importantly, it can be worn under the coat, which is generally not visible, and does not affect the activity at all. The helmet is a bit of a spoof, copying the shape of the Spartan 300 warriors movie, for one reason, strong protection, and handsome. Of course, this is just an idea, the armor thing is still relatively sensitive, and it has not been produced again for the time being after making a sample.
Now that qualified steel has been smelted, commonly used alloy steel, high-carbon steel will soon be available. With the use of hydraulic drive and now quite mature rhinestone technology, it is possible to manufacture seamless steel pipes, which became the main direction of the steel workshop in the next step. Zheng Yu still handed over professional things to professional people, and he didn't understand the principle of not adding to the chaos, and started to be the shopkeeper and the head of the general logistics department.
