Among the three major 'church violence organizations', the knight uniforms designed by Brother Long are the most scummy, similar to the beggars in martial arts movies, but without patches. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info As a result, the two girls gave him the ugly nickname 'Knights of Mars'.

It's not that Brother Long doesn't know how to design uniforms, and it can be seen from the private goods he confiscated that this one just didn't use his brains properly.

After a few days on the rooftop, in addition to whistling to the girls downstairs, he also did something serious, adding some simple decorations to the beggar's suit, inspired by "Star Wars", which looked much more pleasing to the eye.

However, it doesn't matter, this suit is to be worn inside the armor, and the armor is the body!

Because when Brother Long recruited troops, he had already blown out the cowhide: "The Knights of the Cathar are steel plates from head to toe! Even the horses are covered with a full set of steel plates!"

He also specially brought a very expensive set of Gothic full-body plate armor that he had captured from the Portuguese with him to strengthen his persuasiveness. It turns out that men are also good-looking animals, and as a result, his 'Knights of the Cathars' has the largest number of people.

Liu Jingtian: "Do you know how much plate armor costs? How long does it take to build a set? Two or three thousand people, and it's not iron!"

Brother Long: "Don't be so troublesome, right?"

"Pull it down, hit me!"

But in the end, Liu Jingtian still took this life to the end.

It's also quite touching to think about: a large number of white metal cans, riding a high-headed horse like a tank, shouting 'Double experience for each head!' and then swooping down from the mountain with a roar, and a little excited!

All the armor is up, little ones, let's get started!

Although the plate armor cavalry sounds all kinds of tall and tall, all kinds of gods and krypton, and Maximi even plate armor is known as 'a set of a year', but Liu Jingtian said, I have hanging!

In other words, there is actually a shortcut to making plate armor, and it is not so expensive, the ancients just didn't know the trick.

In ancient times, steel equipment was 'hot forged', that is, steel was added to a red-hot state. This state was later called 'austenite', and the steel in the 'austenite' state was very soft, and then the craftsmen had to seize the time to forge and shape it.

However, in this way, the steel quickly cools, which is equivalent to indirectly carrying out 'quenching', and 'quenching' makes the steel plate transform from 'austenite' to 'flake martensite' or 'cementite', these two steel structures are brittle and hard, and they cool rapidly, and there will be a large number of fine 'scars' inside the steel, and the toughness of the steel will be very poor.

In short, the 'hot forging' method is very difficult, and it is estimated that it will be exhausting to death by slowly hammering it with this raw material, which will quickly become 'brittle', and finally knocking out armor that is as round and smooth as an egg shell.

When it's done, no one will use such a crispy armor, and it's only suitable for use as a wok. So, it is necessary to increase the toughness by 'tempering'. But it's hard to do a good job with such a high technology as 'tempering', and not everyone has the kind of 'bimetallic high-temperature thermometer' in the hands of kobolds.

Later, in some places - mainly in Italy and Austria - the 'cold forging' method was developed: through pre-heat treatment, the form of steel or wrought iron was transformed from 'austenite' to 'pearlite' or 'ferrite', and under these two structures, the steel would become very flexible, and then the iron sheet could be slowly hammered at room temperature.

The biggest advantage of 'cold forging' is that it is convenient and fire-saving, and secondly, it is slowly hammered with a hammer, which is good for the microstructure of steel, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

The kobold man has an external 'university textbook', barely understands the various doorways in it, and a very black technology 'bimetal thermometer', and the open-hearth furnace can also brush tons and tons of molten steel, if you can't make plate armor, you can die.

So, under the personal command of Liu Jingtian, a group of reliable and unreliable 'designers' gathered and gave full play to their imagination to design several sets of model armor for several sets of 'captured' and 'imported' European-style armor.

At the same time, the machine tool factory attached to the iron and steel plant began to manufacture several large machines - continuous rolling mills.

It connects several huge pig iron mills in series, driven by animal power, and can roll small pieces of medium-carbon steel ingots that are red-hot into steel plates step by step with pig iron mills. Theoretically, it is also possible to use a steam engine, but now coal is not self-sufficient, and animal power is still chosen.

Then, referring to the technique of Italian craftsmen, the 'tempering' process softens the steel plate, and then uses water hammer or wind hammer to knock the steel plate out of shape on a pig iron mold.

The final step is to polish and drill holes, and to make the connections for each part of the armor using perforated leather and linen.

At the same time, because there are more soldiers recruited this time, these armors also have to be set in several sizes in advance, plus design some leather buckles that can be adjusted in size, according to later generations, this is called standardization.

In the first batch of trial products, except for large machinery to be operated by kobolds, most of the work of other assembly lines was contracted to indigenous blacksmiths, and their sheet metal craftsmanship is probably still above kobold sheet metal workers.

The rest is tedious work such as sanding and painting, which can be done by women and children. When the armor arrived here, it was basically formed, a batch of armor with a simple geometry, but very thorough protection, and the armor weighing less than thirty kilograms was completed.

But Liu Jingtian added another step.

The Great Demon King issued an important instruction: Reality tells us that recruiting soldiers depends on the face! The costume design of the Martian Knights is so scummy, it is necessary to improve the appearance of the armor!

He added another painting process......

The ordinary soldier armor is the 'White Matte Paint Basic', while the Centurion level is the 'White Glossy Paint Seiko Model', and the Centurion is the 'Black Custom Aggravated Model', which is the VIP Fierce General treatment!

In appearance, the ordinary armor resembles the 'Star Wars Imperial Assault', with eggshell-shaped chest armor with a thickness of four millimeters, and a small shield on the left arm that is also four millimeters, which can withstand ordinary arquebus shots from a distance of thirty meters, while the other parts are about 1.5 millimeters, which can only block crossbows and most cold weapons. The overall shape is simple, except for a few geometric folds, there is basically no decoration.

The Centurion Seiko model has a lot more ridges that increase strength and beauty, and the difference between it and ordinary soldiers can be seen at a glance.

The appearance of the 'black custom weighted model' armor is naturally an infringement of a certain villain of "Star Wars", but in order to simplify the process, the helmet also refers to Megatron in "Transformers", which is really domineering and can stop children crying at night.

However, because the protection of this plate armor is really tight, the weight has skyrocketed to more than forty kilograms, and it has become a special product, and probably only fierce generals can wear it into battle. And those with poor physical strength, after putting it on, they can only pose motionlessly, and they all rely on their eyes to kill.
