Chapter 232: Truth, Goodness, Beauty and Strength

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

After Zhu Xi visited the artillery and musket, he was still unsatisfied, Mao Geng and 6 Jiuyuan had to temporarily add projects, and then watched the demonstration of mine explosion.

Mao Geng scratched his scalp and said in his heart, you are a Confucian and an amateur astronomer, okay, even if you are also an agronomist, in short, you have nothing to do with arms experts, why do you need to know so much about arms! Then I remembered that the enamel project in Lao Qiu's hand was a little so-so, so I solemnly recommended it to Zhu Xi, known as the white armor that Lao Qiu was trying to produce. Not to mention, Mao Geng's words immediately aroused Zhu Xi's strong interest. Mao Geng's heart was relaxed for a while, and he said in his heart that he should let Lao Qiu fool Zhu Xi, so that Zhu Xi and one of his disciples would always ask you "100,000 whys".

Lao Qiu is full of enthusiasm this time, although Lao Qiu's eloquence and organizational ability are excellent, it is undeniable that Lao Qiu cares more about his personal participation in the big explosion. Just kidding, it's easy to cross once, if you don't explode a little gold finger, isn't it a waste of resources in your brain! In other words, it is necessary to compare horizontally across the world, and when the time comes, compared to the size of the contribution, there will be no hard indicators, and it is conceivable that the soft indicators of the mouth will be squeezed by colleagues, so Lao Qiu is still quite invested in the gold finger enamel.

Zhu Xuanqing and Zhu Xuanbai brothers have been following Lao Qiu during this time, first firing cloisonné, and then turning to firing enamel, although the principle is almost the same, they are glazed firing, but in fact, the difficulty coefficient of enamel is really not a level, at least cloisonne in the adhesion of the glaze layer is not so high. Enamel is different, the enamel layer of the enamel products at the beginning is easy to be removed, and then Mr. Mao proposed to clean the iron blank first, and the stains and oil stains must be cleaned.

The old Qiu in front of him has a lot of talent, at least he has a lot of ideas, but Lao Qiu's ideas have become fast, and sometimes it is really difficult for the brothers to keep up with his train of thought.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xi and his entourage suddenly appeared in the enamel firing yard, it was Zhu Xi, the Zhu brothers felt that they were lucky to see the famous Zhu Xi, and their eyes were straight for a while.

However, firing enamel can not see anything, and applying a low-temperature glaze layer is a core secret, given that Zhu Xi leads so many disciples, and there are many people, of course, they can't be allowed to look at the core secret casually. So, Lao Qiu led Zhu Xi to look around, and led a group of people to a room similar to a conference room and exhibition room.

Mao Geng originally accompanied Zhu Xi all the way to visit, but was called away by his disciples halfway, of course, this is an important matter, and it is not necessary for so many people to accompany Zhu Xi, Mao Geng asked 6 Jiuyuan to accompany him here.

After sitting down, Lao Qiu began to show off his achievements, which is a project led by himself, so today Lao Qiu feels particularly energetic to introduce it.

Since there is the function of the exhibition room, samples are indispensable, in addition to enamel products, there are also a few cloisonne samples, although they are bottles and cans, but we can't help but admit that these cloisonne handicrafts are indeed very beautiful. However, Zhu Xi's interest is not in the beautiful cloisonne handicrafts, on this point, the guests and hosts have a consensus, Lao Qiu also feels that the handicrafts are not the point, Lao Qiu understands, in Zhu Xi's eyes, it is just some playthings.

The attention of Zhu Xi and his entourage was all focused on the three pieces of white armor, and the three pieces of armor were put on the wooden human body, which was indeed very eye-catching.

Lao Qiu is an artist, after coming to the Special Economic Zone, he immediately instructed the carpenters to make some wooden models, all of which won with simple shapes and realistic human body structures, both exaggerated and realistic, and became the new favorite of fashion stores for a while, placed in fashion stores - well, not called fashion stores for the time being - such as Yan Rui's women's ready-to-wear store, which clearly added a lot of color to the ready-to-wear store.

Here, Yaw's model is different from the models in ready-to-wear stores on the market, with resolute lines on the model's face, and the ubiquitous exaggerated musculature shows the attributes of a warrior. Exaggeration, generalization, or simplicity, full of expressive power, this is the feeling of the wooden model here.

On the three wooden models, one of them is a full set of plate armor, the other two are fish scale armor, and all three sets of armor are shiny white.

It is said that the fish scale armor of the Great Song Dynasty is the most popular, and one of the fish scale armors is similar to the fish scale armor of the Great Song Dynasty, but the other is obviously different.

Originally, the Great Song Dynasty did not have plate armor, and Lao Qiu was based on the principle of easy first and then difficult, and the first thing to introduce was the fish scale armor

"Look at this fish scale armor, it looks almost the same as the regular fish scale armor of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is more than one-third lighter than the ordinary fish scale iron armor, but the protection is stronger."

"Why is that? I think this armor is just shiny in appearance, the protection of heavy armor is far better than light armor, it is hard to imagine that light armor is better than heavy armor, is this armor really as Mr. Qiu said? "The one in question is Chen Chun, a disciple of Zhu Xi.

Lao Qiu picked up a few enamel scales from a plate on the table, threw them on the table, and said:

"The mystery lies in this kind of scale, note that this kind of scale is not flat, this is a specially punched out of the concave and convex shape, don't underestimate this concave and convex shape, because of its convex and concave, the strength is greatly enhanced, only half the thickness, it can beat the normal thickness of a flat scale, this is one of them. Second, it is the benefit of this enamel, this kind of specially stamped concave and convex iron sheet is amazingly strong, plus this layer of enamel hardness is very high, ordinary swords cut on it, usually just a layer of enamel, the cut sword will definitely collapse a hole not to mention, light yì is also difficult to destroy the scales and armor, as for the arrows, the same. ”

"Is that really the case?" Zhu Xi was immediately interested.

"Just try it." Lao Qiu said that he ordered someone to wield a knife and try it.

On the spot, someone lifted a knife prepared in advance, and slashed at the fish scale armor on the wooden model's chest, only to hear the sound of clanging, and when he could see the armor, it was really fine, the scales that were cut off were only a layer of enamel at the knife marks, and the scales were deformed, revealing the iron inside, and the whole armor was not seriously damaged. And the knife was originally intact, but at this glance, the edge of the knife was full of gaps.

After this verification, Zhu Xi and his family believed eight points. 6 Jiuyuan was actually the first time to witness this white armor test knife, and he didn't expect the effect to be so good.

6 Jiuyuan knew how these scales came from, and this was the benefits of stamping, so he picked up two enamel scales, handed them to Zhu Xi, and introduced:

"Brother Yuan Hui, look at this scale, the size and shape of each piece are generally the same, this is obtained by stamping, only a large iron sheet needs to be fed into the stamping die of the stamping machine, and a scale is formed, and two or three pieces can be punched in one second, and the end is fast and good. I don't know how many times faster than artificially crafting fish scale armor, hehe! ”

After that, I stroked my beard, and I couldn't hide my excitement.

In fact, stamping into a concave and convex shape to make zuò fish scale armor pieces is not the contribution of Lao Qiu. Lao Qiu was more obsessed with European plate armor at that time, thinking that it was the pinnacle of violent aesthetics, so the first set of enamel armor trial-produced was plate armor, and that set of plate armor was certainly not the set displayed now. However, Mao Geng believes that although the plate armor can also be stamped and formed, it needs to be equipped with movable mechanisms at each joint, so that too many molds are needed, which is far less easy than stamping the scales of fish scale armor. As for the scales, designed into a concave and convex shape, there are stiffeners, the thickness of the color steel tiles and color steel wall panels of later generations is only O.35-O.4 mm, just because the roller is pressed into a corrugated shape, the strength is greatly increased, and now the principle of the stiffeners is used on the large Song fish scale armor, which is also leveraged, which is both iron-saving and lightweight, and the production is also extremely simple. Even the skin that is padded to the scales is cut out, and each scale is a standardized product, and it only needs to be fixed to the armor, and a fish scale armor is completed. You must know that the most time-consuming and laborious thing about traditional fish scale armor is to make scales, so with stamping technology, making fish scale armor is a simple sewing job.

Since it is a standard scale, if there are some scales that are broken in battle, you just need to replace the bad scales.

The key is that the enamel scales combine the strength of iron and the hardness of ceramics, opening a precedent for composite scale armor, think about the tanks of later generations have ceramic composite armor, with a layer of ceramics, no matter how thin it is, the protective power is not comparable to pure iron sheets, not to mention that this armor is not rusty, it is really the best choice for making zuò fish scale armor.

Changing to plate armor, it seems that using enamel is a bit inappropriate. Although it is not bad, it looks mighty and the protective effectiveness is first-class, but once it is on the battlefield, the plate armor will inevitably be injured by swords, guns and arrows, and the enamel will drop a line here, and a piece will fall there, even if it is brushed with a layer of white paint to make up, it will be much uglier, and if the entire plate armor is replaced, the cost is really a bit high. Therefore, Mao Geng's construction is still mainly based on the production of fish scale armor, as for plate armor, it seems that there is no need for this, and it is about to reach the ** era, and it is enough to have fish scale armor for a transition, and it is not possible to make a big plate armor.

However, Lao Qiu has a soft spot for plate armor, although he knew that Mao Geng could not tilt his limited resources to the plate armor, Lao Qiu still insisted on making three sets of enamel plate armor samples, but except for the cuirplate part is stamped and formed, the other parts, including the part below the waist, are handmade. The reason why Mao Geng agreed to stamping the breastplate on the stamping die is because the cuirass can be worn as a protective armor alone, plus the inner leather armor, the protective force is already quite strong, therefore, Lao Qiu's full set of plate armor, the cuirass part is particularly stylish, and Lao Qiu designed the stiffeners in it with great visual impact, so that set of plate armor is really extraordinary.

Another piece of fish scale armor is actually between the fish scale armor and the plate armor, Lao Qiu has given a lot of artistic elements in it, if later generations of people in the game industry see it, you can see the cartoon design elements at a glance, which is not so much a armor, but a work of art. Because the scales of each part have their own characteristics, the overall composition of the armor is full of artistic imagination, but the beauty is beautiful, and visitors, including Zhu Xi, simply ignored this artwork after admiring it for a while.

However, the full set of shiny white plate armor full of violent aesthetics has been exuding a compelling atmosphere, declaring its existence all the time. This set of plate armor put the wooden model inside from head to toe, Zhu Xi couldn't help but let the disciple take off the white helmet and take a look, the helmet was completely closed, just showing the eyes, Chen Chun put the helmet on his head and tried it, and the violence value suddenly increased several times.

The visual impact is so powerful! So Huang Gan asked:

"Mr. Qiu, isn't the armor of the Hatang Kingdom all of this style?"

Lao Qiu said in his heart that we don't have to find any excuses for this Ha Tang Kingdom, hehe, but this is basically a one-piece plate armor in Europe, and it seems that Zheng Chenggong's iron man is also a similar concept, but the right of interpretation belongs to me Lao Qiu:

"Yes, Ha Tang inherited the mantle, and what he paid attention to was the four words 'truth, goodness, beauty and strength', which was reflected in this armor, that is, the two words 'beauty!'" Strong! ’。 ”

Well, this plate armor is indeed beautiful and strong enough, and most of the people in the room agree with it.

It is said that Lao Qiu was a little superstitious about the Renaissance, so after becoming a traverser, he connected the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution at every turn. Lao Qiu's attempt to combine art and politics with economics is not surprising, well, it is not true that everyone wants to wield their own specialties! After coming and going, Laoqiu proposed to build a differentiated crossing culture.

The homogeneous crossing story is the most boring! At least that's what Lao Qiu thinks. Therefore, Lao Qiu Jian yì is unique, but Lao Qiu has no creative ideas in theoretical construction, so before the theory is perfected, it is inevitable that there will still be some copycat tunes.

"I respect Confucianism and value benevolence and righteousness, and the four words Mr. Qiu said may not be the essence of the Tang Dynasty." Huang Yiyong expressed doubts.

"There is a slight difference in the statement, but it is just the same! Confucianism pays attention to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and the Hatang Kingdom advocates 'benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, true faith and beauty and strength', and they all end up in the same place. Just imagine, if the Tang Dynasty is not strong, how can it be benevolent and righteous in the world, if you are not strong, how can you cultivate yourself and level the world! ”

Lao Qiu said in his heart, you are just a group of Qing talkers in the weak Song Dynasty, you are too weak, you can't even take care of the life and death of the Han people under the iron hooves of the golden soldiers, and you still talk to me about benevolence and righteousness!
