In fact, the Ming Dynasty is now in a stage of alternating hot and cold weapons, and whether it is in the army or above the court, there are varying degrees of doubts about the use of hot weapons. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is because although new thermal weapons such as bird guns, grippers, and three-eyed guns have begun to be popularized in the military, these weapons have serious shortcomings.

For example, the most widely used fast gun, it reloads too slowly, and it is too bulky, it is easy to hold it with an unstable center of gravity, and it is too heavy to carry other weapons after carrying it.

This also means that soldiers who use fast guns must not be approached, otherwise they will not even have a weapon to defend themselves and be slaughtered, so in fact, this kind of fast gun is not as effective as a bow and arrow.

If that's all it takes, it's not enough to make the army dissatisfied with it, after all, these shortcomings can be made up for by cooperating with the infantry, and the big deal is that the quick gun can be used as an archer.

After all, the biggest advantage of thermal weapons is that they can be used quickly, while a qualified archer requires long-term training and strong arm strength, but these things now have a fatal drawback.

Explode!

For a variety of reasons, a thermal weapon such as a quick gun is extremely easy to explode, and it is easy to injure oneself before anyone is injured, and on the battlefield, once this situation occurs, it will mean that the surrounding soldiers are incapacitated, and once they encounter a mobile cavalry unit.

Basically, the end of life can be declared, and this is the biggest shackle of thermal weapons.

So in fact, the main combat power of the Ming army today is still cold weapons, and the only thing that can be taken out of the hot weapons is the Hongyi cannon!

This powerful weapon, even with the Tartars' aversion to hot weapons, could not help but keep and continue to study.

"I don't know these gifts, can Chen Shoubei like them?"

In the face of Chen Liangbi's emotions of gaining and losing, Zhu Changluo had already expected that, in fact, the steel knives he brought were not the snowflake steels that Chen Liangbi said, but the alloy steel that Zhao Shizhen had just successfully tested.

However, Zhu Changluo studied it and found that his alloy steel and snowflake steel are actually similar things, although the craftsmen in the past did not know about alloys, but this did not prevent them from studying good steel.

In fact, the principle of snowflake steelmaking is the steel forged through several complex procedures, and the craftsmen will add various ores in the forging, which also contain these other metal elements, and finally through these complicated procedures, the surface of the weapon will form a variety of different patterns, and one of them is the snowflake pattern, so it is also called snowflake steel.

It can be said that Zhu Changluo's research is only on the basis of a clear principle, greatly reducing the various complicated steps required in 100 steelmaking, and then deriving a steel of similar quality.

"I like it, I like it, but I ...... Alas...... It's a shame......"

Chen Liangbi gently stroked these silver knives, feeling that his heart was dripping blood.

You must know that the forging of 100 refined steel is very complicated, and even if the craftsmen under him are in power, it will take many months to forge so much steel, but now it has been made into such a flashy thing by Zhu Changluo, what a waste!

"If Chen Shoubei likes it, this king will bring more next time, it doesn't have to be like this!"

Zhu Changluo snickered and pretended to speak.

"What?!"

Chen Liangbi almost jumped up when he heard his words, and he didn't even call His Highness, he suddenly threw himself in front of Zhu Changluo, glared and asked.

"Such a hundred refined steel, you kid still have it? How many more! ”

"It's gone!"

Zhu Changluo spread his hands innocently, but he couldn't help but have a trace of cunning in his eyes, but unfortunately Chen Liangbi didn't find it.

"Gone? Also, such a hundred refining steel forging skills are so complicated, it is not easy for you to get so much, how can there be ......"

"But ......"

dragged a long tail note, but Zhu Changluo said in a pinched tone.

"Now there is no more, but this king can order someone to continue to build it, Chen Shoubei is afraid that he doesn't know, so many steel knives in front of you are newly forged within seven days!"

"How is that possible?!"

Chen Liangbi's first reaction was impossible.

Seven days? Not to mention seven days, so much steel, even if it is seventy days, it may not be able to get out, this is still calculated according to the efficiency of the prison, how many craftsmen can he Zhu Changluo have, in just seven days, I am afraid that it is not enough to even forge a steel knife!

"Don't hide Chen's guard, there is a subordinate official named Zhao Shizhen under this king, he is born to love this, and he has finally discovered a method of steelmaking after many years of study, according to his method, so that a hundred refined steel can be forged in only three days, and this batch of steel knives in front of you is just forged by this king before he set off from Ping'an Mansion!"

The appetite was almost adjusted, and Zhu Changluo opened up and said.

Chen Liangbi's snort couldn't help but become heavy, compared to these steels, there is no doubt that the method of steelmaking is naturally more important, if Zhu Changluo says it, then how powerful will this kind of refined steel be when it is popularized in the army? !

Although it is now the era of cold weapons to hot weapons, but cold weapons are still the protagonists, don't think that cold weapons for steel requirements are not high, just imagine, on the battlefield, your steel knife is not as good as the quality of the other party, when you cut your steel knife is broken, it is simply a fatal consequence.

Taking a step back, today's long knives are easy to curl, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will drop greatly after the blade, if this kind of steel knife is greatly popularized, there is no doubt that it will be a leaps and bounds improvement of the overall strength of the army!

And what is the most important thing to fight a war? Logistics!

If this kind of steel knife can be popularized, then the weapon loss rate of the army will be greatly reduced, so no matter from which point of view, this new type of steelmaking method is extremely important for the army.

However, after the frenzy just now, Chen Liangbi has now calmed down, sat down again, and said with a solemn face.

"What does Your Highness want? Let's open the conditions! ”

There is no doubt that Zhu Changluo carried so much refined steel to his mansion with such a big grudge, and he was definitely not here to show off that he had discovered a new steelmaking method.

Since he came over, it means that he has something to ask for, so even though he knew that he would be slaughtered, Chen Liangbi still had to obediently stick his head out, it is really that this steelmaking method is too important for the army......
