Chapter 140: Weapon Development - Horizontal Knife (I)
After sending Cao Cao away, Han Fei also began to prepare for the trip, but before leaving, Han Fei had to finalize one thing.
This trip, because of the special, not everyone can take it with them, the "broken military camp" has to stay because of the training, so Gao Shun can't go, and Chen Qun can't follow, in addition, Ou Laohan also has to stay because he wants to develop weapons and other things that Han Fei explained.
In this way, regarding the production of weapons and equipment, Han Fei naturally had to take a look before leaving.
When Han Fei entered the blacksmithing workshop on the edge of the barracks, he didn't hear the sound of ironing, but saw more than ten blacksmiths (Han Fei asked for it from his father, Han Fu didn't think much about it, and directly gave Han Fei the best group of blacksmiths in the army) and Ou Laohan were gathered together, looking at a sketch with a sad face.
On top is a knife. The Japanese katana looks a lot like it. However, the structure, the design concept of the blade, and the thickness are completely different.
As far as Han Fei knows, there are four systems of Tang knives, instrument knives, horizontal knives, barrier knives, and Mo knives. Among them, the role of the ritual knife was limited to dependence, so it was directly ignored by Han Fei. The practical skills of the obstacle knife are higher, but they are also shorter, which is not suitable for the current Han Fei's beggar army to cut and kill, so Han Fei also ignored it. Mo Dao was another good choice, but after thinking about it, Han Fei still gave up. According to Han Fei's memory, the Mo knife was full of weight and expensive.
Han Fei can't afford it at the moment, although he has a good old man with a big waist.
In the end, Han Fei chose the horizontal knife in the four systems.
It is rumored that horizontal knives and barrier knives were introduced to Japan. It is also the predecessor of the Japanese katana.
However, although the Japanese sword originated from the Tang sword, it was developed and was very suitable for their local combat. The horizontal knife is a kind of ultra-high-grade knife in the Tang Dynasty. China has a lot of resources. During the war, there were many heart guards and iron armor, so the role of the Tang knife was first to break the defense. Then it was the slashing.
And because Japan's resources were scarce and iron armor was rarely seen on the battlefield, the katana later developed into a knife that was only suitable for chopping meat and did not break the defense.
The final formation of the horizontal knife is the outside and soft on the inside. Intermediate toughness.
Katana, on the other hand, is sharp and hard, and the back of the sword is tough.
This is the essential difference between the two types of knives, such as slashing, Japanese swords must be one into two. Undoubtedly.
However, this is all Han Fei heard from various places, and what is the actual effect. Han Fei really didn't know, after all, there were very few horizontal knives left in the world. It is impossible to take an antique knife. I'm going to fight the katana.
Han Fei's love for collecting knives is true, but he has never collected even one of them at the antique level.
However, Han Fei still believes that the horizontal knife is more powerful. It is also more suitable for breaking defenses and cutting people, otherwise, the horizontal knife would not have had such a big name in the Tang Dynasty. So Han Fei's first choice is a horizontal sword, not a katana.
The sketch that this group of blacksmiths was pondering was the image of Han Fei's horizontal knife in his memory. Let a specialized person draw it - he painted it himself, just a rough idea. Although he has the style of a horizontal knife in his mind, he can't draw that charm, and painting a tiger is not an anti-cat, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and Han Fei has no talent for painting.
It's just that the shape is out, but the most quintessential part is the manufacturing process of the horizontal knife, and Han Fei also knows nothing about this aspect. decided to hand it over to the blacksmiths for study, the worst thing is that it can't be developed, and there is not much loss, if it is really developed, then just a weapon, Han Fei will be hundreds of years ahead of the princes!
Totally worth a try!
As for whether the horizontal knife can be successfully developed, Han Fei does not doubt it. The horizontal knife is also from the Han people, and it is the pinnacle of the Han people's thousands of years of manufacturing cold weapons.
Although there is still a long time before the Tang Dynasty, Han Fei does not doubt that this group of blacksmiths will be able to develop horizontal knives. In Han Fei's view, it's just a matter of time.
With so many skilled blacksmiths thinking sadly about how to make this weapon, the workshop was naturally silent.
The voice of Han Fei entering was particularly loud.
The blacksmiths raised their heads in unison, and when they saw that it was Han Fei, Qi Qi's eyes lit up, among them, Ou Laohan, who reacted the fastest, quickly rushed to Han Fei's side with a sketch and couldn't wait to ask: "Childe, this knife is too small, although it is forged by the method of 100 steel, but it is too easy to break when fighting on the battlefield." ”
Ou Laohan has gray hair, because he has the skills of his ancestors, among these blacksmiths, the skills are the most exquisite, and he was promoted by Han Fei to become the head of these people.
"Yes, yes, Major General, and I know what you said yesterday about local quenching, but what is it that covers the soil and burns the knife, wraps the steel, and clamps the steel?"
"yes, yes, we don't understand this...... Don't talk about us, even Old Man Ou doesn't understand."
The rest of the blacksmiths were not slow to react, and they all rushed to Han Fei's side and asked in a mixed manner.
Han Feideng was a head and two big, complaining bitterly, and said in his heart: You ask me, who do I ask? Damn, there's no computer here, or it's OK to go down Baidu!
These blacksmiths are highly skilled and have an unusual dedication to the creation of swords. There are even some people who don't know the world.
So if you have any questions, just ask them directly.
"Ahem. One by one, one by one. While Han Fei's head was big, he was unwilling to snub these precious blacksmiths, so he coughed heavily a few times and raised his hand.
Fortunately, because of my hobby of collecting swords and other things, although I can't count it as understanding, I still know a little bit about it, and I won't be completely blind.
"Go, go, old man, I'll come first." Ou Laohan, who was the first to ask a question just now, glared around, Ou Laohan is the highest in terms of seniority, and Ou Laohan is the best in terms of technology. So as soon as Ou Laohan drank it, the surroundings immediately quieted down.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
Seeing this, Ou Laohan was very satisfied, took the sketch in his hand, and looked at Han Fei with a blank eye.
Looking at Ou Laohan's longing gaze, Han Fei smiled bitterly, in terms of technology, Ou Laohan himself is an expert.
But Han Fei knew that in order to make these people ruthless and study the horizontal knife for him, he had to prove that the horizontal knife was indeed an advanced cold weapon.
Recalling the bits and pieces of his previous life, Han Fei said: "Compared to our head sword, this horizontal knife is indeed narrower and smaller. The two knives are slashed against each other, and it seems that the horizontal knife suffers. But you don't think about the hardness of these two knives, and how sharp they are. If the horizontal knife is sharper and harder than the ring head broadsword. Two knives slash at each other, and the one that is broken into two knots must be the ring-headed broadsword. ”
"Yes, Childe is right, but ......" (to be continued......
