Chapter 441

"...The problem is sir, you have made too many things that shock you these days. If you get such armor, I... I can only say that the great Song Dynasty can get a good fortune for me." Zhao Ji looked at Wang Yangliang for a long time and said with great emotion.

In fact, he really wanted to kneel down and worship Wang Yang. The ability of this idol far exceeded the limit of human imagination.

What’s important is that just to build armor, what did he do... Zhao Ji shook his head, um... he refused to think about it anymore. After all, his brain has become a little numb these days, and he doesn’t want to accept the shocking impact of big waves after big waves.

After thinking it through, Zhao Ji turned his head and said to Chen Blacksmith. "Chen Blacksmith, just build it. With Gu and Mr. Wushan here, we have all been ordered by the Holy One, so no one can blame you. At that time, there may be a lot of rewards."

"Holy Destiny? Reward?" Well, these two words, like two searchlights, shot into his heart in an instant.

Fish scale armor is very awesome, but the forging time is too long and it is labor-consuming. You should know that an ordinary pair of iron armor requires more than 1,800 pieces of armor, and each piece of armor requires a thousand cold forging...

Of course, Wang Yang wouldn't be that stupid. What he needs is an armor that is not weaker than the defense, at least not inferior to the wart armor, but also saves time, labor and labor.

After careful consideration, Wang Yang finally got the result: the board lock mixed with armor.

The advantage of plate armor is that as long as high-quality mild steel forging is used, its defense is not much inferior to that of fish scale armor, but its flexibility is not as flexible as that of fish scale armor. However, if a large area of ​​plate armor is used and the chain mail is mixed, it will not only play a certain weight-reducing role, but also enhance the flexibility of soldiers.

What's important is that the defense is still very strong, huh... As long as there is good steel, you won't be afraid of not having strong and strong armor.

"Is this possible without fire forging, just cold forging? I have never played with iron forging for a lifetime. Besides, is it too wasteful to use steel to build armor..." Chen Blacksmith's thinking is relatively rigid. In his consciousness, steel is too expensive after all, and it is a waste to use it to build iron armor.

"Well, Lao Chen, you really don't have to worry. Wu is going to change all my old blast furnaces, leaving two specialized in producing iron. The rest should be made directly according to the method of the 1st Yuan Gong. Not to mention soft steel, even if you want to make fine steel armor, Wu can afford it..."

Well, it seems that you can use a tong pot to make steel directly. The important thing is that you can produce high-carbon steel, medium-carbon steel and low-carbon steel according to quality and quantity.

Boss Wu has been walking around these days, and when he speaks, he is full of cowhides all over the world. Fortunately, Wang Yang repeatedly warned that this old man finally did not give up his own smelter.

In Wang Yang's words, this kind of smelting technique must be presented to Your Majesty first, and then, whether it is promoted or not. In short, it is eye-catching to your Majesty first. Wouldn't you want to?

When Wu heard that he could have something to do with the Emperor of Song Dynasty, he almost got crazy. In the past few days, he personally took charge of the purchase and increased the wages of the workers by 50%. All the craftsmen, whether young or experienced, signed for ten to twenty years for a period of ten to twenty years, and even a sixteen-year-old apprentice was signed for thirty years.

Wang Yang was very calm about Boss Wu's performance in order to retain talent. At least Boss Wu is still a good person, not a sinister and vicious capitalist, at least he is willing to retain employees by raising wages, rather than using other abnormal means.

For cold forging, all you need is a hammer, and of course the heavier the better. First, you cast a mild steel plate with a suitable thickness and then put it under a huge hydraulic-driven water hammer to smash it.

Seeing the steel plate with a thickness of two cents (one inch can be divided into tens) slowly becoming flat under the water hammer, and then pulled out, Chen Blacksmith couldn't help but smash his tongue. "Be good, this thing is really useful. Look, such a thick steel plate is now only half a grain of rice, and it took only so much time..."

"Of course, why would you build this water hammer?" Wang Yang was very satisfied, but in order to test the defense of this thickness of steel plate.

Boss Wu volunteered to find a village hero from the Archery Club. The most famous archer in the village, who is also the surname Wu, and is the son and nephew of Boss Wu.

The Song Dynasty liked to form associations, that is, to establish clubs. Whether it was playing Cuju or playing weapons, they all had their own clubs.

Although this buddy named Wu Zhang is not tall, she has long arms and a shoe-tight face. Well... her whole person looks very consistent with an adjective: a big horse monkey.

However, after this guy arrived at the scene, he came over with two hard bows on his back to pay homage to Wang Yang and His Highness Duan.

"Good boy, you have a few stone bows, and this bow arm is thick enough." Zhao Ji couldn't help asking in surprise when he saw the hard bow he was carrying.

"Your Highness, the grass people are used to using two stone bows, and this one is a two and a half stone hard bow used by the grass people to practice their strength..." Wu Zhang replied with a flattering look on his face.

"Two and a half stone..." Zhao Ji couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Wang Yang couldn't help but be stunned. This is not Han stone, nor Tang stone. Han stone is equivalent to fifteen kilograms, while Tang stone is about fifty-three kilograms, while Song stone is more than ninety kilograms.

"The bows used by the guards around me are usually more than one stone, at most one and a half stones. Are you actually using two stone bows?" Zhao Ji couldn't help but say in surprise.

"How dare the Caomin deceive Your Highness? Please see..." Wu Zhang quickly took down the two hard bows on his back and handed them over.

Zhao Ji took the two stone bow and arrow and tried to pull two of them. After almost half of them, he gave up.

Wang Yang also tried it. Although he had never shot an arrow, Wang Yang's physique that had been lifting iron all year round still made him lift the hard bow of the two stones lightly.

"Be good, I didn't expect that your two arms have hundreds of pounds of strength, so it's so powerful. I'm afraid it's no worse than the top martial arts champion..." Seeing Wang Yang like this, Zhao Ji couldn't help but praise. "Brother, I really think it's a pity that you missed the top martial arts exam in the current martial arts champion..."

"...Why would I participate in the next martial arts exam?" Wang Yang was also a little eager to try it out when he heard it. The top martial arts champion was fucked by himself. Maybe he was really likely to become the first top scholar in the Song Dynasty with both civil and military affairs.

"Of course this is good... If you can win all the top scholars in civil and military affairs, then your name will definitely be remembered forever."

"...Well, okay, let's do the serious business first. Brother Wu, come on, have you seen this steel plate here? Use your two stone bows to shoot it out fifty steps to see if it can penetrate it."
