Steel-based mysteries

The founding ceremony of the Han Gang was very successful, and the morale of all the people of the Han Gang was unprecedentedly high, knowing that today, their vague national consciousness has finally become clear, and they know the meaning of what they are fighting for!

After the ceremony, Fu Shengsheng, accompanied by Bai Lai and Liu Yongtai, visited all the soldiers, craftsmen and their families, and talked with them to exchange feelings. His pro-people behavior also touched everyone.

After walking around, Fu Shengsheng first called Liu Yongtai to the Han Gang lobby for a meeting to discuss the next military training arrangements.

"Yongtai, tell me about the current training situation!" Fu Shengsheng, who was kneeling in the middle, asked.

"Lord Yu, there are four main trainings currently arranged by the general: one is to form formations, mainly to practice formations; The second is equestrian, the third is the bow and crossbow, the fourth is martial arts, which is more difficult to train mainly is equestrianism and the bow and crossbow, practice the bow and crossbow on horseback, its stability is very poor, in the high-speed riding and bumps, it is almost difficult to operate the bow and crossbow consistently! Liu Yongtai, who was standing at the bottom of Bai Lai, replied.

Fu Shengsheng nodded, and said: "Well, these 100 horses are light cavalry, equestrian and bow and crossbow are basic items, as for the stability of things, the lord I already have a solution, the horse mat you use now in addition to making the rider comfortable, it does not help stability, I have designed a saddle and stirrups, the combination of the two can make the rider as stable as Mount Tai, even when riding at high speed, you can let go of your hands!" ”

Liu Yongtai was overjoyed and said: "The lord is really a god, and I look forward to using this saddle and stirrup as soon as possible, which will definitely make our light cavalry combat effectiveness leap forward!" ”

Fu Shengsheng said: "Although this saddle and stirrup can improve the combat power of the cavalry, there is actually no special technology, once the enemy obtains it, it can also be made by itself, so the first must be highly confidential, and the second must be destroyed in time if there is any loss during the battle!" ”

Liu Yongtai nodded yes.

"Now that we have the support of saddles and stirrups, our cavalry has to adjust its blades and tactics, and my idea is to equip it with a small round shield, a sword, and a crossbow at the same time, with a crossbow for long-range combat and a knife for close combat!"

"For this training subject should also be adjusted, at present, our main training should be team-based, so we can temporarily cancel martial arts, and then add physical training, military posture training, knife training, tactical training and night combat training!" After Fu Shengsheng finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yongtai's somewhat confused eyes and continued: "This physical training is mainly to exercise endurance and speed, including weight-bearing running, long-distance running training, speed training, etc.; Military posture training mainly trains soldiers' obedience to orders, including practicing standing posture, formation, foot drill, etc.; Knife training mainly practices horse fighting's swinging, slashing, sweeping and other movements; Tactical training mainly trains combat methods against the enemy, such as long-range combat, melee tactics, individual soldier and combined attack tactics, etc.; The most important thing is also night combat training, because light cavalry is very suitable for surprise attacks, and the best time to raid is at night, so we have to adapt to the way of night fighting. ”

Then the two communicated on the basic content of military training, and asked Liu Yongtai to improve the specific implementation content and process of the military training project first, and then discuss it the next day.

After discussing the matter of military training, Fu Shengsheng called Bai Lai over again.

"In vain, there is an important matter to be handed over to you for the time being!" Fu Shengsheng said.

"Lord, please command!" Bai Lai also responded with a straight face, after today's gang ceremony to pay for a lifetime, the same let Bai Lai's heart fluctuate, the identity of the immortal disciple is only known to him, and now he thinks more and more that this is the person sent by God to save the world, and the respect and expectation in his heart for dealing with his life have reached another height.

"Since ancient times, marching and fighting know oneself and know that the other side will win all battles, and to do this, it is necessary to have a strong intelligence system, so I plan to set up an intelligence department based on the current guild network, if you have good talents to recommend it, it is the best, if not, in addition to taking on the very important responsibility of commercial logistics, you must also temporarily be responsible for the formation and operation of the intelligence department!" Fu Shengsheng knew that what he lacked most was talent, so he must also increase his efforts to search for talents.

"What the lord said is that commercial logistics is what slaves are good at, but intelligence is really not what slaves are good at, when it comes to talents, at present, not only must be capable but also credible, and the slave has a recommendation!" Bai Lai understands the situation of the lord very well, and also knows that in order to grow rapidly, the supply of talents must keep up, for himself, he has been in business for many years, and most of the friends he knows are businessmen, and at present, this kind of thing must be operated in absolute secrecy, so after thinking about it, he thought of a person.

"Oh, let's hear it!" Fu Shengsheng's eyes lit up and said.

"Lord, the intelligence department is a major secret, and it is not safe to rashly recommend other people, so the slave dares to recommend my eldest son Bai Yi again, who is strategic, calm and composed, and just right, he is a better candidate to preside over the intelligence department!" Bai Lai replied.

"Then arrange for him to come over!" Fu Shengsheng said with a smile.

"Don't worry, half a month ago, the slave had written to Bai Yi to inform him that he wanted him to properly handle the resignation, and after Bai Qi graduated, the two quietly came to Shuiyue City to meet with the slave, and received Bai Yi's message Yesterday, the two of them have set off, and they should arrive in a few days, and after the slave and the second son have explained, they will send the second son to work for the lord!" Bai Lai smiled slightly.

"So good! The population of the Han Gang will increase in the future, you can find me a steward! Fu Shengsheng said with a smile.

"Okay, the slave will send Mei Qianli, the manager of Shuiyue City, over for the lord's mission!" Bai Lai nodded and replied.

"You hurry up and deal with the sale of liquor, and when you are on the right track, I will pass on another item for guild sales!" Fu Shengsheng nodded.

"Great, the slave will definitely carry forward the wine industry and live up to the high expectations of the master!" Bai Lai bowed down with a smile on his face.

The next morning, Mei Qianli came to report as instructed by the proprietor.

Fu Shengsheng arranged for Mei Qianli to immediately organize manual registration and make a book, set up a craftsman office, and manage all craftsmen, temporarily with Fu Shengsheng as the director, and then set up an iron group and a carpentry group, using the method of resume selection and interview, Fu Shengsheng selected 3 carpenters to set up a carpenter group to govern all carpenters and other craftsmen, and Master Lu served as the team leader; 5 blacksmiths were selected to form an ironware group, with Zhang Yajiu as the team leader, in charge of all blacksmiths.

In the hall of the Han Gang, Fu Shengsheng instructed Mei Qianli to convene a meeting of the blacksmith group.

"Grass people, Zhang Yajiu, Menjin Hui, and Jiang Ran, meet the helper!" After Zhang Yajiu and the other three arrived in the lobby, they immediately bowed to Fu Shengsheng, who was kneeling at the head of the hall.

Seeing this, Fu Shengsheng hurriedly stood up, walked quickly to the three of them, helped the three of them up, and said, "We will all be a family in the future, but we don't have to bow down again!" ”

The three of them hurriedly bowed down and thanked, "Thank you, Helper!" ”

Fu Shengsheng turned around and took out 2 of the silk silks on the table, and said, "I came to you today, there are a few things for you to do!" ”

"Please help the Lord to command!" Zhang Yajiu said.

Fu Shengsheng handed 2 pieces of silk silk to Zhang Yajiu and said: "I have three sketches here, one is a saddle, this saddle is adjusted on the basis of the existing saddle, the shape is two ends high, the middle is concave, the high part is called the bridge, so it is called the high bridge saddle, and its material is made of animal leather!" One is a stirrup, made of metal, which is hung on both sides of the saddle, which can not only be used for the horse rider to step on the horse when riding and riding, but also can support the horseman's feet when riding, so as to maximize the advantages of horse riding, and at the same time can effectively protect the safety of the horse rider; One is the horse's hoof fall, which can not only protect the horse's hooves and reduce wear, but also make the horse's shoes harder, which helps the horse's high-speed running and long-distance running! ”

Zhang Yajiu listened to Fu Shengsheng's explanation while checking the sketch, as Fu Shengsheng finished explaining, Zhang Yajiu looked at a few sketches and sighed, Zhang Yajiu passed the sketches to the other two respectively, and said with emotion: "The idea of the helper really opened the eyes of the grass people, according to the helper's drawing, this is not technically difficult, but so far no one has been able to come up with such a wonderful method, which really makes the grass people admire!" ”

Listening to what Zhang Yajiu said, there was no technical difficulty, Fu Shengsheng was overjoyed and said: "That's good, Yajiu, when can you start making it?" ”

"Back to the helper, after the grass people and him complete this map tonight, we can start work tomorrow!" Zhang Yajiu replied.

"Good! Good! Good! It seems that I was really lucky to meet the master! Fu Shengsheng said three good words in a row.

"The helper has won the prize!" Zhang Yajiu replied humbly.

"Do all three of you know the art of steelmaking? Now soldiers use iron knives a lot, I want to change to steel knives! I wonder what the three of you think? Fu Shengsheng asked.

"Back to the gang leader, the grass people and the other three people all know this steelmaking technique, but as far as the grass people know, the steel made by this is too brittle, but I am afraid that this steel knife is not as good as an iron knife." Zhang Yajiu responded.

"Well, that's right!" After Fu Shengsheng finished speaking, he turned around and took out a silk painting from the table and handed it to Zhang Yajiu and said: "If the iron is too blunt, the steel is too brittle, I don't know if this is combined into one, folded and beaten repeatedly, can it be changed?" ”

Zhang Yajiu took the silk silk, and saw four big words written on it: 'Stainless Steel Secret Method', and he was shocked, could it be that this gang leader has solved this problem? If successful, this...

Zhang Yajiu knew very well that if the steelmaking technique could succeed, it would play a key role in the pattern of the war, so he suppressed his slightly nervous mood and read it carefully, the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, and he kept nodding and sighing.

After reading it, Zhang Yajiu asked with doubts: "Helper, what is the 'carbon' mentioned here?" ”

Fu Shengsheng smiled, pretending to be an expert and said: "Ya Jiu, whether it is iron or steel, the basic raw materials are actually the same, why is there a distinction between iron and steel later, that is, because the amount of carbon contained in it is different, and this carbon can be understood as similar to charcoal!" You see, the main difference between pig iron, wrought iron and steel is in the carbon content, and the iron with high carbon content is called pig iron; Iron with low carbon content is called wrought iron; Iron with a lower carbon content is called steel! ”

Fu Shengsheng looked at the eyes of the three of them like elementary school students, smiled secretly in his heart, paused and continued: "If you want a fine treasure knife with both rigidity and softness, you must use steel and wrought iron as a blade body after a proper combination. Because steel is harder, it is too brittle and easy to break, so it needs to be protected by soft wrought iron. However, wrought iron cannot be completely used as the cutting body, because it is soft and easy to bend, and wrought iron is very easy to curl, so it also needs harder steel as the backbone support. A single wrought iron or steel is not suitable as a cutting body, but after combination, it is not easy to bend or bend, so it is an ideal cutting body. ”

As soon as Fu Shengsheng's words fell, Zhang Yajiu knocked his head vigorously, and said excitedly: "I see, I see, listening to the words of the helper, the grass people suddenly opened, and the helper is really a god!" The grass people began to study this steel secret art! ”

Fu Shengsheng chuckled: "The steel refined in this way is called carbon steel, and the lower the carbon content, the harder and sharper it is!" ”

The three of them nodded one after another.

Then Fu Shengsheng told the three of them about the distinction of charcoal, the quality of charcoal charring is closely related to the raw material sticks, and the density of wood sticks should be greater than 1. The simple judgment method is: take a piece of formed wooden stick and put it into the water, the specific gravity of sinking in the water is greater than 1, the specific gravity of floating is less than 1, the density of the specific gravity is high, and the charcoal produced is of good quality. And the better the charcoal, the better the pig iron produced. After listening to Fu Shengsheng's introduction, the three of them felt greatly inspired, and the scene of using the latest technology and materials to make steel kept coming to their minds.

"In this way, after the saddle, stirrups, and horseshoe craftsmanship are perfected, you must arrange to start the production, you must personally check it in the early stage, prepare 500 sets after the production is qualified, and after arranging it, the three of you will immediately start to study this steel secret art, if the following blacksmith has a perceptive understanding, you can also select it out for steel secret art research! Once this secret technique is successfully studied, you will be the heroes of my Han Gang! Of course, there are also great rewards! Fu Shengsheng patted Zhang Yajiu's shoulder vigorously and said.

The three of them immediately nodded and bowed: "Yes, the grass people must live up to the trust of the helper!" ”
