Chapter 442

Standing the shiny steel plate fifty steps away, and Wu Zhang, under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, took a deep breath, took an arrow, stretched his bow like a full moon, and after aiming a little, he loosened the string, and heard a fairy humming sound, and then heard a very crisp metal impact sound.

Then someone ran up to check it out, shook his head, and shouted. "Not wearing it."

"Keep taking five steps forward and shoot again." Zhao Ji and Wang Yang couldn't help but light up their eyes, the two-stone hard bow of fifty steps, which has exceeded the attack power of most archers, but they have failed to shoot through, which of course shows the excellence of this cold-forged steel plate.

Forty-five steps, forty steps, thirty-five steps, thirty steps, twenty-five steps, twenty steps, fifteen steps, and then ten steps, even if that Wu Zhang was an excellent archer, but after shooting so many arrows in a row, he couldn't help but breathe a little.

There were a lot of not-so-obvious depressions in the iron plate, but some of the arrows fell to the ground.

“…… Still didn't shoot through? Wu Zhang was about to go crazy, the last shot, but seeing him roar, the bow was pulled to the full moon again, and then the string was loosened, and there was another crisp sound, but everyone's eyes fell on the steel plate, and finally saw it.

The arrow fell to the ground again......

“…… How is this possible? How thick is this steel plate?! Wu Zhang finally couldn't stand it anymore, threw down the heavy bow in his hand, and walked quickly to the front to see.

“…… This, how is this possible? Looking at the steel plate, which was less than a grain of rice, Wu Zhang's eyes were moist.

"Sir, he really can't shoot through, this, is this considered a success?" Zhao Ji was a little excited and couldn't say it himself. Although he hadn't been on the battlefield before, and he didn't know how to test such armor, it was definitely awesome that such a hard bow couldn't shoot into this steel plate.

After all, the invulnerability of an arrow is enough to prove that this steel plate is indeed very strong.

"It looks like it should have worked." Facing the countless pairs of eyes full of shock and admiration, Wang Yang's expression looked very calm and calmly snorted, and after pretending to say such a sentence, he took out a gold leaf from his pocket, beckoned Wu Zhang to come to him, and stuffed this thing into his hand.

Then I comforted him and told him that he was specially asked to test the strength of this steel plate, and this task was successfully completed, and you did a good job and perfectly.

And Zhao Ji next to him also jumped out and asked if Wu Zhangke was willing to go to his mansion to teach the guards around him as a bow and arrow. Because Zhao Ji has already appreciated the archery skills of this product, so many arrows have been shot at the position of the chest, which is enough to see that this guy's uncle Boss Wu is not bragging, and the archery skills of this product are indeed not bad.

When Wu Zhang heard this, he was directly stunned, and the shopkeeper Wu next to him was very direct, and slapped the back of the head of the goods. "You kid, you like it stupidly, don't you? Don't say yes yet. ”

Wu Zhang, who came back to his senses, was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and hurriedly threw himself to the ground and fell to the ground towards Zhao Ji.

At this time, Wang Yang took over the steel plate that the blacksmith Chen had taken, although he couldn't shoot through, he could still see that there were several arrows, all of which made the steel plate sunken, which made Wang Yang feel a little unbeautiful.

He is a person who pursues perfection, and he really doesn't know how much difference this kind of defense is from that squirting armor, but he always seems to feel insufficient, after all, Wang Yang remembers that it seems that he has read the information that he has said. The cavalry armor of the Napoleon period was even able to protect against musket fire.

Although the cavalry at that time only had cuirasses, and it was thickened, it seems that the cavalry armor at that time should have ......

Wang Yang patted his head and suddenly remembered. "Carburizing process...... How did I forget this? After Wang Yang invited the old blacksmith Chen to mutter, the old blacksmith was a little stunned at first, but finally nodded.

"What are you doing here, sir?"

"I asked Lao Chen to get a few more steel plates, and then try it with the carburizing process, and told him that he could only use charcoal as fuel, and he was not allowed to use coal."

Zhao Ji was suddenly stunned, and looked at Wang Yang with a confused expression.

"Because carburizing doesn't require too high temperatures, it's all enough, and the important thing is that there's almost no sulfur and it's pretty good to use as a carburizing agent." Wang Yang's explanation made Zhao Ji finally come back to his senses.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but smash his mouth. "Yes, sir, you can even think of such a small problem, and I am more and more confident that you can make the Great Song Armor that is not inferior in quality, or even stronger than the Xixia Qizi Armor......"

"Believe me, by the way, Your Highness, don't forget, bring more people with bows and arrows tomorrow to try, because tomorrow, you will face more than just a steel plate."

The next day, there were five neat steel plates in front of him, of which in addition to the first one, the other four were cold-forged steel plates that had been carburized by Master Chen in different ways.

And on this day, Zhao Ji specially sent several guards to bring their own bows and arrows, as for the crossbow, it is impossible to get it, that thing is the standard equipment of the army, and it is absolutely not allowed to be held by people outside the forbidden army.

Of course, the prince's guards don't have this privilege, as for Wu Zhang, he also changed into a guard uniform at the moment, and he looks very heroic, but the shoehorn face really makes people a little speechless.

Then, a total of four guards with bows conducted shooting tests on the five steel plates in turn, and in the end, the steel plates using the carburizing technology of Old Blacksmith Chen's No. 3 carburizing technology were hardly deformed or broken down except for a few small white spots.

The other steel plates were all shot out of the dents. The steel plate that adopts the carburizing technology of Chen Lao Blacksmith No. 3 was finalized by Wang Yang and decided to be used as a sample.

And Old Blacksmith Chen never imagined that he would one day really be able to create an invulnerable piece of armor. Although he had never built armor before, that didn't stop the family from getting excited.

In addition to the breastplate, there is also the use of soft steel for wire drawing, multi-tube wire drawing process, with Wang Yang, a cheater from the future, so it is not difficult, and the kind that Wang Yang expected, the main defensive surface is dominated by a large area of steel plates, and the place that needs to be moved is made of chain mail.

The bent steel ring, which also does not need to be done manually, can still be replaced by machinery, but although it can be replaced by machinery, because it is the first time to make it, it still took three days of hard work to get a set of full-body armor.

And the weight of this set of full-body armor is twenty catties lighter than the heaviest gunner armor of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, the total weight is only equivalent to about twenty-five to twenty-six kilograms in later generations.

However, the arrows could not penetrate any of them at all, which greatly ensured the personal safety and lightness of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. You must know that the total weight of Na Xixia's armor is already close to thirty kilograms, but the weight of this set of armor developed by Wang Yang is nearly five kilograms lighter than that of the other party, which is equivalent to more than eight kilograms of weight in Song Jin.

Compared to the gunsmith armor that weighed 35 kilograms in the past, it was 10 kilograms lighter.
