Zhao Xiong wandered around the arsenal casually, and there were cold weapons on the left, all of which were some, palladium, big sticks and guns, waist knives and the like.

The waist knife is not bad, Zhao Xiong took out the knife and took a look, the blade made of fine iron is much better than those birds.

But it is very ordinary to make knives, and the key parts are not covered with steel, look at the many small gaps on it, this knife must have been on the battlefield.

The scabbard was only made of jujube wood, and the outside was painted with red lacquer, but the lacquer fell off one by one, revealing the red jujube wood inside.

He wants to give everyone in his newly established militia group, and it can be regarded as a benefit for joining the group!

As for the few cabinets in the space dock that don't have cold weapons with sharp blades, they are all good steel.

Before he wore it, the swords made in industrial batches were generally made of three most commonly used materials: manganese steel, carbon steel, and patterned steel.

The entry-level low-end swords are mostly made of manganese steel, which is relatively cheap, has good toughness, is not easy to break, and can withstand violent use.

However, due to the low hardness, the sharpness cannot reach the top level.

Moreover, it is not resistant to rust, and the craftsmanship and ornamentality are poor.

Some of the containers were performance swords made of manganese steel, and they didn't have blades, but they were better than the current ones.

He found that the mid-range swords exported from the container were basically carbon steel.

The higher the carbon content of carbon steel, the higher the hardness, and it can be used to cast swords with very sharp edges.

However, the higher the hardness, the worse the toughness, the material will become brittle and easy to break, and the carbon steel has poor heat resistance, and the performance will be significantly reduced at high temperatures.

The carbon steel models commonly used to cast swords are T8 and T10, which achieve a balance that will be very sharp if sharpened, and will not break easily.

He used it to reward his subordinates, and Zuo Liangyu's two red tassel short spears were made of T10.

After Zuo Liangyu got it three years ago, he has been holding a short gun, and the baby has to be like something.

There are also two containers of high-end swords, and the steel is patterned steel.

Through repeated folding and forging, impurities are precipitated, so that the steel has both hardness and toughness, and the surface can also form a beautiful pattern that is pleasing to the eye.

He checked on the Internet that there are machine and manual pattern steel, machine pattern steel has a high output, and the performance is stable, but the craftsmanship and ornamentation are not as good as manual pattern steel.

Therefore, the price of the latter will be higher, and the boutiques made by famous craftsmen are even more sky-high, and the selling point is nothing more than handicraft, feelings and fame.

The Tang horizontal knife he uses now is 608 patterned steel, which is recognized as a better material in his previous life.

Zuo Liangyu's short knife is a fine product made by a famous craftsman, he regards it as a treasure, and he still wears it on his body when he sleeps, and he is not too panicked!

But to evaluate the quality of a sword, you can't just look at the material, if there is a good process treatment.

Such as steel clamping, quenching, burning edges, etc., the properties of poor materials can also be improved, if not handled well, no matter how good the material may become, it may become a waste product.

He sighed, the Dakang Dynasty has only been established for a hundred years, and it is already in the twilight, and the most important army materials can be done in this way.

It can be seen that corruption can be seen everywhere!

He sighed again, and still equipped his own family guards with swords drawn from the space.

The overall armed forces of the Jiading Guards and the Evil Tiger Gang have been raised to a higher level, and they have completely gotten rid of the gangster stage of fighting with wooden sticks, and have reached a new height.

Zhao Xiong picked up an arquebus on the wooden shelf against the wall, looked at it, the iron barrel was rusty, and saw that there were some cobwebs, sealing the muzzle, so he paused on the ground.

I saw a string of iron slag falling out of the muzzle, and there was no need to ask, the inside of the barrel was so corroded that it couldn't be used at all.

I thought in my heart, I don't care for it, who would dare to use it like this?

He put down the arquebus and looked at the three-eyed guns on the wall, which were also rusty, this kind of quality is really not good!

And in this era, arquebuses or something are chicken ribs for him.

In his opinion, arquebus operation is complex is scum.

The guns he looked at were old-fashioned, rusty, poor, slow in rate of fire, and cumbersome to load.

If it rains, it is estimated that it will not be able to use, and it will be extremely rubbish.

He suddenly remembered that there was a warehouse on the space dock, stacked with various pipelines, and a large handful of seamless stainless steel pipes.

If you go into the space and take out the hand-built lathes and measuring tools, plus skilled craftsmen, you can make rifles of this era.

The more Zhao Xiong thought about it, the more excited he became, and suddenly, Zhang Jiang on the side said with concern:

"Lord Zhao Haihan, the canal has been peaceful for a long time, and these swords and birds have been in the arsenal for some years.

In addition, the annual approval of the general yamen of the river is garbage, which is unbearable!

In this way, I will ask for dozens of swords and shields to be sent to your yamen, and you will see that it is good."

Zhao Xiong shook his head and said: "I have a new sword and shield, but it's a pity that you can choose a few firearms for me to see these firearms, lend me a few sharpening masters, and sharpen my new swords, it's good." ”

Mr. Zhang immediately agreed:

"The sharpener said okay, I'll find you two tomorrow.

But the Great Kangling standard bow and arrow thing, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble.

In this way, I will lend you ten and eight "bird guns" to strengthen your courage.

Outsiders asked, you said to go hunting in the Qingtongxia in the north, it's almost the New Year, hunt with some game, so that no one will gossip! ”

Zhao Xiong thought for a moment and smiled: "Brother Lide, you are really an old Jianghu, haha." ”

Seeing that Zhao Xiong agreed, Mr. Zhang's hanging heart was put down.

After all, bows and arrows, crossbows, are all big killers!

Another thing is that Mr. Zhang has only a dozen pairs of bows and arrows, and there is no surplus food at home!

It's not because the bow isn't sharp.

It's just that this thing is a controlled weapon in the past dynasties!

And the cost of manufacturing and purchasing is too high, and this time is a long time.

As for the artisan houses along the canal, because the cost of making bows and arrows was too high, the officials in the artisan offices were rotten to the roots.

As a result, every year, the bows, arrows, swords, and firearms built by the craftsmen were all errands.

Those processed goods, Shangguan distributed them to the flood soldiers.

Those swords are simply iron-clad and soft, and bows and crossbows are useless junk.

There are also qualified archers to be trained, it is too difficult to practice, it is difficult to see results in a few years, and the dozen or so people he raised are still kept to take care of the family!

What if this stunned young man wants to secondment his own archers!

To borrow or not to borrow?

However, if Zhao Xiongba starts a fire, he will turn his face and turn his face, and he will have a big head when he thinks about it!

As for the firearms in the arsenal, they are all decades old, and some are even older than his age.

If you can't fight, you can fight it, it's still a problem.

Especially the arquebus, in case of a bore, it is difficult to say if the eyes are broken, and he has to explain this problem to his righteous son, and ask him to pay attention to it at all times.
