Chapter 441: The Birth of Forged Steel Armor (Second Update)

Chapter 441

“…… The problem is, sir, you've made too many eye-popping things these days, and if you get that armor out again, I'm ...... I can only say that Mr. Da Song can get it, and it is really the blessing of my Da Song. After Zhao Ji looked at Wang Yang for a long time, he was full of emotion.

In fact, he really wanted to kneel on the ground and bow to Wang Yang, the ability of this idol far exceeded the limit of human imagination.

The important thing is that what did he do just to build armor...... Zhao Ji shook his head, hmm...... I refuse to think about it anymore, after all, these days, my brain is already a little numb, and I don't want to accept the shock and impact of such a big wave after a big wave.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ji turned his head and said to Blacksmith Chen. "Blacksmith Chen, you just have to build, with Gu and Mr. Wushan here, we are all under the holy order, so no one can blame you. When the time comes, there may be a lot of rewards. ”

"Divine command? Reward? Well, these two words, like two searchlights, shot into his heart at once.

The fish scale armor is very good, but the forging time is too long, labor-intensive and time-consuming, you know, an ordinary pair of iron armor requires more than 1,800 pieces of armor, and each piece of armor needs to be cold-forged thousands of times......

Of course, Wang Yang won't really be so stupid, what he needs is an armor whose defensive power is not weaker, at least not too much than that of the Poor Armor, but it can save time, labor and effort.

And Wang Yang finally went through careful consideration, and the result was: the plate lock mixed with the whole body armor.

The advantage of plate armor is that as long as high-quality soft steel forging is selected, its defense will not be much inferior to that of fish scale armor, but its flexibility is not as good as fish scale armor, but if a large area of plate armor is mixed with the chain mail, it can not only play a certain role in weight loss, but also enhance the flexibility of the soldiers.

The important thing is that the defense is still very strong, don't ...... As long as there is good steel, there is no fear of not having strong and strong armor.

"No fire forging, only cold forging, can this work? The old man has been fighting iron all his life, and he really hasn't played it, besides, isn't it too wasteful to use steel to build armor......" Blacksmith Chen's thinking is relatively rigid, in his consciousness, steel is too expensive after all, and it is a waste to use it to build iron armor.

"Well, Lao Chen, you really don't have to worry, Wu is going to change all my old blast furnaces, leaving two parts specifically to produce iron, and the rest will be made directly according to the method of Zhuangyuangong, not to mention soft steel armor, even if you want to make armor from stainless steel, Wu can ......afford to supply it."

Well, it seems that since we can directly make steel with tongs, it is important that we can produce high-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel and low-carbon steel according to the quality and quantity required.

This big boss Wu has been floating when he walks these days, and when he talks, he is also flying all over the road with cowhides, but fortunately, Wang Yang has repeatedly warned that this old man finally has no choice but to go out of his smelter.

In Wang Yang's words, this kind of smelting technique should be presented to His Majesty first, and after that, whether it will be promoted or not, in short, it is dazzling to get to His Majesty first, don't you want to?

Hearing that he could get involved with the Great Song Dynasty, Wu was almost crazy, these days, he personally arranged the procurement himself, and also increased the wages of the workers by fifty percent, all the craftsmen, whether young or experienced, signed for ten to twenty years, and even one apprentice who was only sixteen years old was directly signed for thirty years.

Wang Yang is very calm about Boss Wu's performance in order to retain talents, at least Boss Wu is still a good person, not a sinister and vicious capitalist, at least he is willing to use salary increases to retain employees, rather than using other abnormal means.

For cold forging, all you need is a hammer, and of course the heavier the better. Mild steel plates of the right thickness were cast and then smashed under a huge hydraulically driven water hammer.

Seeing that the steel plate, which was two minutes thick (one inch can be divided into ten) thickness, slowly flattened under the water hammer, and then pulled out, Blacksmith Chen couldn't help but smash his tongue. "Good girl, this thing is really easy to use, look at it, such a thick steel plate, now smashed to the thickness of only half a grain of rice, it actually took so much time......"

"Of course, why else would you build this water hammer?" Wang Yang was very satisfied, however, in order to test the defensive strength of this thickness of steel plate.

Boss Wu volunteered to find a villager from the Bow and Arrow Society, who is known as the most famous marksman in Shili and Eight Townships, also surnamed Wu, and is the son and nephew of Boss Wu.

The Great Song Dynasty likes to form associations, that is, to engage in clubs, whether it is to play Keju or to play weapons, they all have their own clubs.

And although this buddy surnamed Wu Mingzhang is not tall, his arms are quite long, and he also has a shoehorn face, so he doesn't ...... The appearance of the whole person is very consistent with an adjective: big horse monkey.

However, after this guy came to the scene, he came to meet Wang Yang and His Royal Highness King Duan with two hard bows on his back.

"Good boy, you have a few stone bows, this bow arm is thick enough." Zhao Ji saw the hard bow he was carrying, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Your Highness, the grass people are used to using two-stone bows, and this is a two-and-a-half-stone hard bow that the grass people use to practice their strength......" Wu Zhang replied with a flattered face.

"Two and a ......half stones" Zhao Ji couldn't help but gasp, Wang Yang couldn't help but be stunned, this is not Han Shi, nor Tang Shi, Han Shi is equivalent to fifteen kilograms, and Tang Shi is about fifty-three kilograms, and Song Shi is more than ninety kilograms.

"The bows used by the guards around me are generally more than one stone, at most one and a half stones, and you actually use two stone bows?" Zhao Ji couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"How dare the grass people deceive His Highness, Your Highness, please see ......" Wu Zhang hurriedly took off the two hard bows he was carrying on his back and handed them over.

And Zhao Ji took the two-stone bow and arrow and tried to pull two, but after most of it was opened, he really gave up unsustainably.

And Wang Yang also tried, although he had never shot an arrow, but Wang Yang's perennial iron physique still made him lift the two stones of the hard bow with weight.

"Obediently, I didn't expect that Mr. You also have hundreds of catties of strength in your two arms, and the harm is terrible, I'm afraid it's not worse than that martial champion......" Seeing Wang Yang like this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but praise. Brother, little brother, I really think it's a pity that you missed the exam for the top student in today's science and martial arts......"

“…… Why don't I take the next martial arts course? Wang Yang was also a little eager to try when he heard this, and the dignified martial champions were all taken down by himself, maybe he was really likely to become the first double champion of both civil and military affairs in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Of course that's good...... If you can win all the champions of civil and military affairs, when the time comes, your name will definitely be remembered for eternity. ”

“…… Hmm, okay, let's go get down to business first, this Brother Wu, come on, come on, do you see this steel plate here? Shoot your two-stone bow fifty paces away and see if you can get through. ”

One is the dignified champion of the current department, and the other is His Royal Highness the Prince, the identity of these two, Boss Wu has already given his nephew a thorough understanding, so naturally let him do it now, he has to do his best.
