Chapter 243: Hundred Refined Steel Chain Mail

Zhang Shuye's wording of Teng Yuanfang this time was quite harsh, saying that it was "Teng Yuanfang violated the order of Shangguan Kaifeng Fumu", then of course it means that Yuanfang is not suitable to be an official, and it is difficult to say that the next term is the fate of being idle and drinking tea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lao Zhang threatened to attack key members of the Cai Party, and Cai Jing could also correct Uncle Zhang, and he could also find an explanation. It's just that after the old fox Cai Jing saw the farce of the official family ordering Gao Fangping to "hurry up and update", he knew that it was the emperor's intention to suppress Teng Yuanfang, and there was only an incident of resistance to the decree before, and Cai Jing would not offend the official family again for this matter, so he could only reluctantly acquiesce to the resume of Teng Yuanfang's "disobedience to the dispatch of the officials" written in the file of the ministry.

Since then, Cai Jing has known that Fuji Yuanfang is abolished. Originally, there was the experience of Kaifeng Mansion in power, and it was a proper gilding behavior in the Great Song Dynasty, and if there was no moth, the next Liang Zimei would return to the dynasty, and Fujimoto Fangzhi would serve as a daimyo mansion, and then return to Zhongshu to serve as an important position, which was appropriate, and now it is possible to wash and sleep. If there is any more accident, Gao Fangping will make another great contribution, causing the old vine to be driven away, if Gao Fangping is appointed as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, basically everyone can wash and sleep, and they will definitely be killed and resurrected by the cool official who brought disaster to the country and the people.

The situation is getting more and more complicated, the rise of controlling pork Ping is probably Cai Jing's first priority at the moment, but unfortunately the heavens are not beautiful, the war between Lao Cai and Tong Guan has inevitably begun, the only thing Cai Jing expects now is that Zong Ze is bolder, just catch Tong Guan's castration and cut it down, the only people who can bite Tong Guan and be angry enough are Zong Ze and Gao Fangping, but Gao Fangping is currently not qualified to know Jingzhao Mansion.

"Hey...... The situation is not right, today's prime minister is more difficult than ever to do, and the old man seems to be really old. Cai Jing sighed in the government affairs hall......

The reopening of the forum has become a matter of course, and it can be handed over to Zhang Shangying to take care of it, and there is no need for Gao Fangping to continue to worry about it.

has whetted the appetite for this period of time, and when Journey to the West is updated again, who is really competing with each other, Wang Hao, Zhu Mian and others' "Journey to the East" is no longer cared about and no one mentions.

Because the update was first published on the forum, the popularity of the forum was pushed to an unprecedented level. In the imperial city, Gao Yu's father or Zhang Shangying will go to the first time to update synchronously. As for the children of the people, just a few days later, they will also hear the story from various other sources.

For Zhang Shangying, the forum is now very profitable. But for Gao Fangping, it is just the beginning, and this amount of money is just a dime a dime, and it doesn't depend on these things to make money at all.

As a traverser, Gao Fangping certainly knows what the value of a popular portal with the right to speak in future generations is. The money for the tea and the entrance ticket was not worth it at all. To put it bluntly, the purpose of selling tea and admission tickets at high prices is just to keep some poor people out of the door and not delay their work and production. By the way, some taxes and fees will be generated to give Kaifeng Mansion a little benefit.

As for the true value of the forum, it will slowly become apparent in the future......

To be a qualified Saint Seiya, one must have a set of holy clothes.

The team of craftsmen in the pig farm, with more Gao Fangping's ideas, began to build 100 refined steel chain mail very early.

In fact, this thing is not difficult at all after having ideas and drawings, but it is extremely labor-intensive and costly.

Limited to the technology and technology of this era, pouring and wire drawing can not provide stainless steel at all, can not support the strength of chain mail, so the first set of chain mail can only use stupid methods, the whole team put into it, in the way of artificial forging, hammer by hammer to create tens of thousands of wire springs, and then patiently by hand to weave links, and finally become a hundred refined steel chain mail.

In view of the special holy clothes of the little Gao Xianggong, who was most afraid of death, the drawings and requirements sent by people as early as the time of Yuncheng were repeatedly tried, created, tested, and modified. After eight versions of evolution, the whole team worked hard for almost three months, and this was basically perfect and mature, and Han Yi, the leader of the craftsman, came to Xiao Gao to report that the holy clothes chain mail could finally be used.

The shiny chain mail was stacked on the table, Shi Wengong and Liang Hongying's eyes lit up, and they reached out together and stroked it gently.

"Report to my lord, the whole armor is made of thirteen thousand stainless steel rings, and there is no problem in defending against arrows and ordinary knives and guns, if it is two hundred steps away, it is not a problem to defend against the artifact divine arm bow in my Song army. The 'coil spring microstructure' provided by adults can unload the force well, and after many attempts to improve, the attack performance of heavy weapons such as maces and sledgehammers has also been greatly improved. If you don't believe, you can send someone to test it. ”

Han Yi said proudly.

Shi Wengong and others were secretly surprised, and they still couldn't put it down.

After Han Yi's explanation, they understood why these strong steel wires of chain mail were all made into a spiral ring after ring? When Shi Wengong's hand is pressed down, you can sense that these "rings" with good plasticity and elasticity have a slight contraction, which is the so-called force relief microstructure.

Steel chain mail is an artifact for defending against swords, guns and arrows, but the disadvantage is that when facing heavy weapons such as sledgehammers, the defense is not as good as plate armor. However, Gao Fangping's idea of more simple mechanics has largely made up for the shortcomings in this regard.

Of course, in the end, the defense against heavy weapons is still not comparable to that of steel plate armor of the same level, but the chain mail has better comprehensive performance, is lighter, and is more convenient to repair.

Compared with plate armor, it has its own characteristics, but compared with the best and most popular fish scale armor in the forbidden army, it is an all-round victory, and it is much better.

The more Shi Wengong looked at it, the more he loved it, and he wanted to pick it up and wear it on his body to try it, but this was a trumpet, which was worn by Gao Fangping, and Lao Shi couldn't put it on directly.

Gao Fangping also said with some regret: "It's a pity that you can't defend against the Divine Arm Crossbow, what will happen when you test it, will you be shot through by the Divine Arm Crossbow?" ”

Han Yi said: "Lord Hui, the hundred refining steel ring that we have worked so hard to build, even if it is a divine arm crossbow, it will not be able to break the armor at close range, on the contrary, it will directly destroy the arrow of the divine arm crossbow, but ...... We first put chain mail on the pig's body, and at a distance of 100 paces, asked the guards of the Tiger Head Battalion to attack with a divine arm crossbow, although it could not break the armor, but the strong force would directly shatter the pig's internal bones through the chain mail, and then compress the internal organs and make the pig die. But if it is extended two hundred paces away, the pig will be seriously injured, but it will not die. ”

Shi Wengong said in shock: "It's very good, the power of the Divine Arm Crossbow has already chased the young general's Cloud Piercing Arrow, and it can be able to prevent the Divine Arm Crossbow from two hundred steps away, this is already an artifact." ”

Gao Fangping nodded, for the time being, it can only be like this, there is no perfect thing in the world. And the Divine Arm Crossbow, which originated in Western Xia and was eventually imitated and improved by the Great Song Dynasty, is too strong, and it is simply a bug of this era. Therefore, not being able to guard against the Divine Arm Crossbow is not a disadvantage.

It's also very simple to defend against the Divine Arm Crossbow, just put on a plate armor vest on the inside and chain mail on the outside. But that one was too cumbersome, lost its agility and mobility, and ran counter to the idea of cavalry combat.

Of course, in the future, when the resources are sufficient, we can consider equipping some of these professional hoplites, and then holding repulsion rifles to form a heavy defense line against the impact of elite cavalry.

But this is only one of the tactics, and in principle, it is not against Gao Fangping's character.

In terms of Gao Fangping's obscene heart, the best way to defend against the overwhelming cavalry cluster assault of the barbarians is not to stupidly use the lives of the hoplites to carry it, but to form a heavy artillery position behind the heavy cavalry Yongle Army, and bombard indiscriminately, beating the opponent to the point of gold and gall, and when morale is greatly affected, the charge horn of the Yongle heavy cavalry can be blown towards.

"The biggest advantage of this chain mail is that it doesn't pick the body type, anyone can put it on, if even the war horse also wears this kind of chain mail, it will be obscene." Shi Wengong said with a smile.

"Yes, the research and development of chain mail is to make the war horse set of armor, such a heavy horse survival rate is greatly improved, but it does not affect the mobility very much, lightness, is the characteristics and core of chain mail." Gao Fangping nodded.

Otherwise, the Song army is not without the idea of forming heavy cavalry, according to Gao Yu's father, two hundred heavy cavalry were built at the beginning, but the combination of such fish scale armor and some plate armor is too heavy, the horse is almost exhausted, and it greatly hinders the coordination of the horse's multiple muscle tissues, and is almost in an embarrassing situation where it is almost impossible to run. So it almost became a slow-moving target. So later, he didn't even want a horse, and continued to increase the armor and simplify it to heavy infantry, which is the origin of the Great Song Bu armor.

The Buren Armor once became a sharp weapon for the Song army to defend against the nomadic cavalry, but it was always too bulky and had almost no mobility to speak of. Therefore, the step armor has finally become one of the failed tactics, and since there is no maneuver, it is better to simply not move at all, and it is most effective to use the fortress tactics with the bed crossbow god arm crossbow - this is the origin of the transformation of the "fortress defense tactics" of the breeders.

"But Xianggong, it will take three months just to build your set, so if you want to equip my Yongle Army, I don't know how long it will take?" Shi Wengong said worriedly.

Craftsman Han Yi hugged his fists and said: "General Hao Jiaoshi knows that the reason why it takes three months is because we were completely unfamiliar with this process at the beginning, and we took too many detours in the process. It is also the R&D stage, and it is necessary to repeatedly verify and modify, and adjust the ideas and processes, so yes, Xianggong also said that everything is difficult at the beginning. But now the test is basically perfect, and the shape is finalized. My craftsmen are familiar with the essentials of making wire rings. Although it is still impossible to solve some processes at present, and it is impossible to directly pour qualified steel wire rings, but the humble position is completely sure, and the manual assembly line is initially formed, and a set of chain mail will be produced in two days with the current team size of 300 people.
