Yinyangshan Industrial Park has many industries. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Papermaking, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and more.

All of them are businesses that Qin II and even Great Qin attach great importance to.

However, even if these industries are combined, they are not comparable to the investment in the military industry.

The entire Yinyang Mountain occupies the largest area, and the highest consumption of manpower and material resources is the Daqin Ordnance Factory!

Unlike industries such as papermaking, printing, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, where short-term investment can be immediately and lucratively reported, there is a long cycle from the development to the production of weapons.

From the beginning of the Kunrong blacksmiths, preparations were made for the development and production of weapons.

Paper printing, food and drugs, have all brought value to Daqin, the ordnance factory as the highest investment earliest, even if the use of Yin Yang Mountain's three-fold time advantage, so far there has not been a weapon put into mass production, and Qin Ge established a manufacturing bureau, is still increasing investment in this area.

But it's worth all the upfront effort!

It is precisely because of the high barriers and difficulties.

Therefore, this will become an important advantage for Daqin, and it will be rewarded a hundred times in the future on the battlefield!

The blacksmith craftsmen all came out to greet him, led by a stout human old man, followed by the iron slave representing the Kunrong blacksmith, and the craftsman from the exquisite country.

Su Shi introduced to Qin Ge: "This old gentleman's name is Ou Lingzi, he is a descendant of Ou Yezi, a master of the Warring States Period, and the last descendant of Oumen, a generation of forging masters, and now the chief producer of the Manufacturing Bureau. ”

Ou Lingzi saw His Majesty for the first time.

I really didn't expect Your Majesty to be so young, with a lofty and extraordinary bearing, without any shelf, like an ordinary traveling scholar, but surrounded by a vague dragon power, even a person like Ou Lingzi who has seen the world actually has a feeling that he does not dare to look directly.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if he killed Ou Lingzi, he wouldn't dare to compare the person in front of him with the Qin II that people had circulated.

The crowd walked into the munitions factory.

Su Shi briefly introduced the situation.

Because of the support of Qin II, the military factory had already gathered excellent blacksmiths, craftsmen, and Mo family disciples, totaling more than 3,000 people, and His Majesty sent 5,000 people from the Western Regions not long ago, and most of these 5,000 people from the Western Regions were arranged to enter the factory.

Now the number of people in the Great Qin Military Factory has reached an astonishing 6,000 people.

6,000 people are responsible for R&D and production, which is unthinkable in an ordinary country!

Among them, resource consumption and money investment is an astonishing figure, most of the resources of Daqin can be assets, and there are a few very profitable and expanding business lines for blood transfusion here, and the food is also completely self-sufficient, and the role it will play in the future will definitely become more and more important.

Su Shi and the craftsman led the way to a secret room.

The two soldiers pushed the door open, and everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them, this secret room was very large, and the most conspicuous place was a set of open armor, which shone in the light of the cold, full of murderous aura.

"The first thing to look at is the armor. ”

"Based on the ideas and creativity provided by His Majesty, we have now successfully created several sets of concept samples, and after continuous testing and improvement, they have been initially perfected and ready to start mass production!"

These styles of armor have never been seen or heard of, making Wu Qi feel so unreal, and he feels like he is dreaming.

Although Wu Qi had never seen these armors, but out of the intuition of a military strategist, he knew that the sets of armor placed in front of him could be said to be several eras ahead of the present, and if he could equip such armor on the battlefield, the equipment alone would be enough to crush the opponent!

Xuanzang does not understand military affairs.

But the most basic connoisseurship is there!

These armor sets are works of art in terms of workmanship and detail!

Da Qin had already killed hundreds of streets of the Yue Clan in this regard, which made him couldn't help but be shocked by Da Qin's national strength, which made him even more confident in the emperor's promise.

Wu Qi couldn't help but walk up to a suit of armor and stroked the cold scales on the surface of the armor with both hands, it was like caressing his lover's skin.

Scale armor is the most widespread in the world, and it is also the longest used.

The pre-Qin period of China began to use stone and wood chips as scales to make scale armor, but the scale armor was very simple during this period, both in terms of coverage area and defensive ability, it was quite weak, and it could not be compared with the current one.

The style of this suit of armor is Byzantine duplex scale armor.

The Lord of the Rings Regent's second prince was wearing this type of armor when he attacked and sent him to his death.

It is characterized by all-round protection, the neck, wrists, and thighs are protected by armor, and the helmet is attached to the armor, revealing only a pair of eyes. This Byzantine type of compound armor is no weaker defense than earlier plate armor, and has a strong resistance to arrows.

Great Qin's craftsmen improved the Western-style armor and added a thick metal goggle to its chest, the so-called heart goggles, to strengthen the local defense, making Qin Ge seem to have a more East-West combination.

The scale armor style itself is very new and advanced, and the most important thing is that the scale armor is not made of wood, stone, or copper, but iron!

The material of this world is not the same as that of the earth, and the cold iron produced from Mt. Kuafu is no ordinary steel.

Its performance in all respects is not inferior to the high-carbon steel on earth, and each set of armor consumes at least fifteen kilograms of cold iron.

These iron-scaled armors have ten times more defense than normal armor!

Wei Wushu was the earliest and strongest hoplite in China, and Wu Qi's minimum requirement for Wei Wushu was to wear three layers of armor, carry dozens of kilograms of arrows and weapons, and be able to march hundreds of miles a day, and immediately enter battle, so he had the ability to sweep through China.

Now it seems that even Wei Wushu, who wears three layers of armor.

Its defense is not half that of this set of scale armor.

This set of ironscale armor is only one of the pieces of armor on display, not even the best of them.

"What is this?"

If the scale armor brought a strong impact to Wu Qi, then this set of armor that can be called a work of art is a piece of armor that Wu Qi has never heard of or seen.

Qin Ge explained: "This is called plate armor. ”

Plate armor in the era of cold weapons is the pinnacle of armor, but it is a pity that this kind of armor has never been popular in China for various reasons, and there is no popular plate armor in the world during this period, even in the Byzantine period hundreds of years later, it is mainly chain mail and scale armor.

So the appearance of plate armor in Daqin.

It is definitely a work that transcends the times for N years.

The plate armor that Qin Ge asked the craftsmen to make was an evolution of the "Gothic plate armor".

Gothic plate armor evolved from Milanese armor and can be said to be a pinnacle in the history of cold weapons.

Milan plate armor was born in the Italian Peninsula during the Renaissance, when industry and commerce, handicrafts, and commerce have developed to a considerable height, the Italian Peninsula has many countries, wars have never stopped, and the production of weapons is very developed, so this almost perfect full-body armor was born.

In fact, this armor often appears in movies, television and games.

People playing games or watching movies often see a kind of cavalry or infantry, with not an inch of skin exposed from head to toe, like a tin can. It is very majestic, and nine times out of ten it is Milan or Gothic A.

This kind of armor basically achieves full coverage, not an inch is exposed, and even the eyes can't see, maybe some people think that the plate armor is too bulky?

Actually, this is a pure misunderstanding!

The weight of this set of Gothic plate armor is actually a little lighter than the Byzantine compound scale armor next to it, but it is precisely because of this that the requirements for design and craftsmanship of the plate armor are almost to the point of madness.

This suit of armor was created for the fabrication of this suit.

Military factories pay a huge price.

Even Hua Tuo was one of the designers of this suit of armor.

Because if you want to design a flexible full-body plate armor, you need to use knowledge of human anatomy. Hua Tuo can be said to be the best surgeon in China, he is very familiar with the structure of the human body, so he provides a lot of help in the process of making armor, and finally achieves the effect of armor wearing without rigidity.

The entire set of plate armor is made of cold iron.

It can also be post-processed for various reinforcement formations.

It is not modest to say that this suit of armor is the strongest of our time.

When the warrior puts on the plate armor, it becomes a metal fortress, almost indistinguishable from a turtle shell, and the cold texture of the metal all over the body, full of Gothic gorgeous style, is enough to bring a huge shock to the enemy from the psychological aspect.

"These two sets of armor are specially prepared for the New Qin Army!"

"Such armor and ingenuity are perfect. Wu Qi was amazed: "It's just that the armor required by the army is not one or two, can such a sophisticated and complex armor really be equipped on a large scale?"

This is indeed a problem.

In fact, what is placed here is a sample that has taken a lot of effort to build.

At present, the military factory has not yet been put into real mass production, but it is not difficult to foresee that whether it is the level of smelting, the level of technology, and the consideration of cost, it will make large-scale production full of difficulties, and it can even be said that it is impossible.

This kind of thing is more suitable as a work of art.

Or it is more suitable as a high-level armor specially customized for high-ranking people.

Su Shi spoke at this time: "The scale armor is equipped with elite infantry and ordinary cavalry, and the plate armor is equipped with elite cavalry, I don't think it will be a problem with my current ability." ”

This is not bragging.

It is simply impossible for the whole army to promote it in the short term.

The cost of a set of plate armor is nearly 100 gold, although the scale armor is much cheaper, but the price of one piece is enough to buy more than ten or twenty ordinary armor of the same era. Even if Great Qin returned to its heyday, it would be impossible to build a million-scale ironclad corps, so these equipment mainly took the elite route.

This plate armor is the most powerful and superior armor, but it has very obvious shortcomings, full production, high cost, difficult to repair, and extremely high requirements for craftsmanship.

Heavy scale armor is a little weaker than plate armor, and its advantage is that the iron scales can be disassembled and mass-produced, and the damaged iron scales can be replaced at any time on the battlefield, and the stamping workshop factory equipped with steam engine power can be mass-produced efficiently.

It's not hard to see from the equipment.

In the future, Daqin's military will embark on the route of professional elite soldiers.

With the smelting and craftsmanship of the exquisite craftsmen of the Western Regions, the production of Great Qin's armor will inevitably increase significantly.

The Great Qin Scale Armor and the Great Qin Plate Armor were at least a few hundred years ahead of the West, and one day when the Great Qin Iron Cavalry stepped on the western land, those Europeans would be stunned and fall to the ground one by one.

In addition to the two types of armor, there are several styles of armor on display, as well as practical tools such as horse armor and stirrups, each of which can change the landscape of the battlefield in detail.

"Next up is the weapon!"

Su Shi continued to walk forward, and in an adjacent weapon room, a handful of cold and shining weapons appeared in everyone's field of vision.

When Qin Ge saw these weapons, he felt a little enthusiastic, sophisticated cold weapons will always have a special attraction for a man, especially in this arsenal, the two most eye-catching weapons are proud of countless Chinese men.

"This is called Mo Knife, this is called Horizontal Knife, the main battle weapon of the future Qin pawn!" Ou Lingzi, the forging master, introduced with some spirit.
