Li Chen's armor is a piece of iron on his chest, but there is some curvature. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info This is from the physical aspect, trying to spread the force so that it should fight against puncture wounds, and the effect is good. After all, whether it is an arrow or a long grass, on this arc-shaped surface, it is easy to be slightly resisted, and then slide along the arc.

If you can resist puncture wounds, then you don't have to worry about other slashes and blunt blows, of course, this has to be tested.

This is not a difficult task for these craftsmen, and it can always be knocked out by hand. It's just that this picture has a few points that surprised the craftsman.

First of all, the three views, they are all veterans for many years, and they quickly saw the advantages of this picture, quite appreciated, and all the pictures will be drawn like this in the future, simple and clear, and it will be very clear, and there will be no misunderstanding.

I won't talk about the merits of this picture, but there are still some things to be aware of. Three views, it's not just three sides, if so, everyone will. The point is, there are symbols. Simple objects are fine, such as this plate armor, which is not difficult.

But some of the more complicated places need to be marked with special symbols. For example, the material is either metal or non-metal. For example, if you drill a screw hole that has not yet appeared, a round hole is smooth and round, or you need to drill a screw. These should be noted.

Of course, it is still too far to say these at present, Li Chen is reminding them that these parts must be made with a standard pattern, otherwise you draw yours, I draw mine, so how can you communicate? Li Chen reminded them that it is best to make the symbols simple and easy to remember. It's simple, I hope you can finish it with one or two strokes, it's too complicated, do you think you're an underground party, you're working on passwords?

Two or three strokes can be outlined, so that it is easy to draw. Otherwise, there are more strokes for one symbol, more strokes for two symbols, and how many symbols there are in the whole picture, and how much time will be delayed.

None of this is a big deal, take the time to get it all right. What really made these craftsmen dumbfounded was that Li Chen specially marked the cold forging method. A pair of armor should be cold-forged, and a pair should not be used. Then a set of Mingguang armor also needs cold forging, what is called cold forging? Cold to fight? Does that impress?

Li Chen briefly explained what the cold forging method is. Hearing this, the craftsmen looked at each other, and then looked down and wondered if this was feasible. What did Li Chen ask to make them embarrassed? Actually, it's nothing, it's just cold forging.

Generally, iron is struck by hot forging. As we see in TV and movies, the iron is burned to red, and then it is used to be hammered and shaped, which is the hot forging method.

The cold forging method, which is not really cold, is also heated, but the temperature is not so high. When heated to a certain temperature, forging begins.

In Chinese history, it is believed that there was a cold forging method in the Shang Dynasty, but it was not a large piece, but a small object such as jewelry.

Then, it was not recorded until the Northern Song Dynasty. The prickly heat armor of the Tangut people is made by cold forging, which is very strong, and it is said that swords and bows are difficult to hurt. Fifty paces away from the Divine Arm Crossbow, it can't penetrate the armor. The Song Dynasty also tried to imitate, but the cold forging method had relatively high requirements for materials.

Why did the Song Dynasty make infantry armor so heavy? No way, the quality of the iron is not up to par. It contains too much sulfur and is brittle. At that time, the Song people knew how to remove sulfur from iron. The iron pieces were brittle and had to be strengthened to make up for the shortfall.

The Tang Dynasty should be fine. Both technically and materially, it should be fine. In fact, the casting technology of the Tang Dynasty was already very advanced. The craftsman has mastered the technique of annealing, and the famous Mo knife is a combination of annealing and quenching, one soft and one rigid. It is both sharp and tough, and the strength is enough to break everyone, and it is not easy to break.

This cold forging armor also needs to be annealed, and the temperature is slowly lowered to a suitable time before starting to be forged. This seems to reduce something, making the iron armor more durable. Li Chen didn't know much either, and he didn't learn metals or materials. Anyway, I'm going to use the old line.

Li Chen looked at these craftsmen and briefly explained how to cold forge, "Sage, this kind of iron armor will be very labor-intensive, and it will be difficult to produce it in large quantities. This is not an ordinary effort, Li Chen thought to himself.

Like cold forging armor, if you have to do it seriously, that work is really better than hot forging. It's not exactly cold, but it's definitely not as fast as hot forging. It is not a problem for the craftsmen to play with one or two pieces for Li Chen. can listen to Li Chen's meaning, he intends to test well and produce it on a large scale.

'Water power. When forging, use a waterwheel to drive the hammer, which will not be much easier. Li Chen decided that this Wei River must be cleaned up, if he doesn't clean it up, the waterwheel on the bank of the Wei River that covers the sky and the sun will not allow him to intervene at all.

It's just that at this time, he suddenly thought of a problem, and thought of secrecy. To put it mildly, the Chinese have almost no concept of secrecy at all. When we are proud of the scientific achievements of ancient China, for example, no one seems to think that this book can write about the whole of China's technology, and write it without reservation.

If we change to modern times, if an American writes all the high technology in the United States, even if it is high technology in one aspect, into a book, we will not be happy, and we can just buy a copy and learn other people's technology.

Of course, this kind of brain-dead thing also appeared in China. The Venetians had to keep the process of making glass mirrors a secret. If that kind of thing were to appear in China, it would be guaranteed to be written into the book.

Li Chen is not only for this unfinished, but the effect is unknown to the cold forging armor to move the armor superintendent. In the future, there will be gunpowder and other weapons to be researched and manufactured. It doesn't matter if the cold forging armor flows out, this gunpowder formula is not a joke.

To keep it a secret, he thought of the shipyard that had been moved to the island for the sake of secrecy. Maybe we should move this armory prison to a hidden place, such as the mountains? In that way, there is abundant water power, and it can be used. It can also have the effect of secrecy.

At that moment, Li Chen called the young superintendent, "I have to move this weapons superintendent." Even if cold forging is not used, hot forging also needs to be hammered. I will move this weapon prison deep into the mountains. ’

This task is handed over to you, you are looking for a small number of people, there is abundant water conservancy, and you can set up a place for a waterwheel. At that moment, Li Chen decided to move the weapons supervisor located in Taiji Palace to the deep mountains, anyway, there are several mountains near Chang'an. Definitely not worrying about running out of space.

'Also, the Weapons Warden, make some spears, about 5,000 of them. Li Chen also instructed the ordnance supervisor that he needed 5,000 spears, "I don't have a time, I can deliver as much as I can complete, and I can hand it over directly to Zuo Shence's army." ’

Five thousand spears, Li Chen plans to train some pikemen, come and try it. Many chapters ago, it was said that the Mo knife seems to be majestic, but it is actually not easy to use. In the Song Dynasty, Modao withdrew from the long river of history, and the magic weapon of the Song Dynasty against cavalry was the spear.

After the Song Dynasty, spear weapons were greatly developed. I don't know if it's because of the quality of iron, there is no way to create a large number of qualified Mo knives, so a large number of spears are used. Or it was discovered that a spear was more practical than a Mo knife.

Li Chen decided to give it a try to see if the spear was really better than the Mo knife, and it was better to train than the Mo knife. To practice, only to actually try, to experience actual combat. If possible, he intends to replace the Mo knife with a spear.

He remembered that during the exercise, he demonstrated the Mo Dao Formation against the cavalry. The Mo sword soldiers took the initiative to slash and kill the cavalry and block the enemy. If it can't be stopped, it will retreat to the front of the battle and raise its sword to resist the cavalry. It's almost like a spear usage. In that case, it would be nice to simply use a spear.

Spears are cheap and easy to train, and in many games, pikemen are the lowest level, winning by quantity. Reflects the reality that spears are indeed cheap.

Of course, he would not be stupid enough to think that the scene of the spear array covering the world would be realized in the Tang Dynasty. The spear formation is very good against the cavalry, but once you get close, it is over. He won't forget that his enemies are more of his own than the nomads on the grass... Infantry is the majority.

He was going to try it out and see how effective the spear and shield soldiers would be against the infantry. In fact, seriously speaking, the Mo knife against the infantry is not necessarily much better than the spear, and the Tang Dynasty military array is also equipped with a large number of sergeants who use general horizontal swords. Even the Mo knife soldiers will bring a horizontal knife.

The spear is cheap, if it is close, the spear is not easy to use, the gun is thrown away, and the knife is replaced. Even if the spear was not recovered afterwards, Li Chen would not be heartbroken.

Although these weapons were sent to the Zuo Shence army, in fact, they were sent to the new army that was hanging under the Zuo Shence army.

After that day, Li Chen began to reorganize the army, and took out part of the seizures from the seizure of the Ma Party and began to reorganize the new army. The new army has to be formed, and the little tigers have newly recruited the army. and when he was temporarily placed in Pinglu, his uncle Zheng Guang was a soldier. Together, these formed the New Army.

These new armies will have new garrisons, but they will only be temporarily attached to the name of the Zuo Shence Army. As for why he didn't just use the original Zuo Shen Ce Army, it was because he was afraid that the twilight of the original Zuo Shen Ce Army would infect the recruits, and as a result, the recruits were recruited and supplemented, and after training for a long time, they were still assimilated by those veteran ruffians.

In addition to worrying about being affected by the old army, there are also new troops who have to be trained and treated, which are different from the old army, and it is easy to make the old army feel unbalanced when they are trained together. It's better to keep it apart.

As for why not just set up a new name, it's very simple, hide from people's eyes. This new army is going to deal with those feudal towns in the future, and I don't want them to be alerted in advance because of the expansion of the imperial court. Don't forget, these feudal towns all have offices in Beijing.

Of course, if the training of the new army is good, those old troops will be gradually eliminated in the future, and it is impossible to raise a veteran soldier who cannot fight and is useless. Of course, he also thought about the way out of these soldiers. They won't be left behind.

Finally, I can go back and rest. Li Chen discussed with those craftsmen very late, and after having a hasty dinner in the ordnance supervisor, they discussed for a long time. Finally, Li Chen can return to the palace. (To be continued.) )
