Chapter 442

Standing the shiny steel plate fifty steps away, Wu Zhang took a deep breath under the gaze of dozens of eyes, placing an arrow, and setting a bow like a full moon. After aiming slightly, Song Xian heard a buzzing sound of a fairy, and at the same time, he heard a very crisp metal impact sound.

Then someone ran up to check it out, shook his head and shouted loudly. "Not wearing it."

"Continue to move forward five steps and shoot again." Zhao Ji and Wang Yang couldn't help but lit up. The two-stone hard bow with fifty steps had exceeded the attack power of most archers, but they were unable to shoot through it. This of course shows the excellence of this cold forged steel plate.

Forty-five steps, forty steps, thirty-five steps, thirty-five steps, twenty-five steps, twenty-five steps, fifteen steps, and then ten steps. Even if Wu Zhang was an excellent archer, he couldn't help but breathe after shooting so many arrows in a row.

There were a lot of not very obvious depressions on the iron plate, but some arrows fell to the ground.

"... Still can't ejaculate?" Wu Zhang was about to go crazy, and with the last shot, but when he saw him roaring wildly, the bow was pulled to the full moon again, and then there was another crisp sound of pine strings. However, everyone's eyes fell on the steel plate and finally saw it.

The arrow fell to the ground again...

"...How is this possible? How thick is this steel plate?!" Wu Zhang finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he threw down the heavy bow in his hand and walked quickly to look.

"...This, how is this possible?" Looking at the steel plate with a thickness of less than a grain of rice, Wu Zhang's eyes were moist.

"Sir, he really can't shoot through. Is this a success?" Zhao Ji was so excited that he couldn't say himself. Although he had never been on the battlefield and didn't know how to test such armor, such a hard bow could not shoot into this steel plate, which was definitely awesome.

After all, the inaccessibility of arrows is enough to prove that this steel plate is indeed very strong.

"It seems that it must have been successful." Facing the countless pairs of shock and admiration, Wang Yang's expression seemed to sniff calmly and calmly. After saying this very pretentiously, he took out a golden leaf from his pocket, called Wu Zhang to come to the front and stuffed the thing into his hand.

Then he comforted him and told him that he would specially ask him to test the strength of the steel plate. This task was completed successfully, and you did a good job and perfectly.

Zhao Ji, who was next to him, also jumped out and asked Wu Zhang who was willing to go to his mansion to teach the guards around him. Because Zhao Ji had already appreciated the archery skills of this guy, so many arrows were shot in his chest, which was enough to show that this guy's old uncle, Boss Wu, was not bragging, and this guy's archery skills were indeed not bad.

Wu Zhang was stunned when he heard this. The shopkeeper Wu next to him was so angry that he slapped the guy in the back of the head. "You kid, you are so stupid, aren't you? You don't agree."

After returning to his senses, Wu Zhang was so excited that he couldn't help but provoke himself and immediately threw himself into the ground and bowed to Zhao Ji to the ground.

At this time, Wang Yang took the steel plate taken by the blacksmith Chen. Although he could not shoot through it, he could still see it. Several arrows all caused the steel plate to sink, which made Wang Yang feel a little unbeautiful.

He is a person who pursues perfection. He really doesn't know how different this defense is from the wart armor, but he always seems to feel insufficient. After all, Wang Yang remembers that he once said in the information he had read. The cavalry armor during the Napoleon period could even prevent musket shooting.

Although the cavalry at that time only had breastplate and had been thickened, it seemed that the cavalry at that time should have...

Wang Yang slapped his head and suddenly remembered. "Carcanization processing... why did I forget this?" After Wang Yang attracted the old blacksmith Chen and muttered, the old blacksmith was a little stunned at first, but he finally nodded.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

"I asked Mr. Chen to make a few more steel plates, and then try it with the carburizing process, and told him that he could only use wood carbon as fuel and no coal carbon is allowed."

Zhao Ji was stunned and looked at Wang Yang with a confused look on his face.

"Because carburizing does not require too high temperatures, wood carbon is completely enough. The important thing is that there is another problem, that is, wood carbon contains almost no sulfur, and is used as carburizing agents, which is quite good." Wang Yang's explanation finally made Zhao Ji come back to his senses.

Zhao Ji couldn't help but smash his mouth. "It's worthy of being a sir. Even such a small problem can be imagined. I am becoming more and more confident about the great Song armor that is not inferior in quality, or even better than the Western Xia Jiangzi Armor..."

"I believe I'm right. By the way, Your Highness, don't forget to bring more people to come and take arrows tomorrow, because tomorrow, what you face is more than just a steel plate."

The next day, there were five neatly arranged steel plates in front of them. Except for the first one, the other four were cold forged steel plates that were carburized by Master Chen using different techniques.

On this day, Zhao Ji sent several guards to bring their own bows and arrows. As for the crossbow, it was impossible to get it. That thing was military equipment and people other than the imperial guards were absolutely not allowed to be held by anyone other than the imperial guards.

Of course, the prince's guards did not have this privilege. As for Wu Zhang, he also changed into a guard uniform at this moment, looking very heroic, but his shoe-tip face looked speechless.

Then, a total of four guards holding bows conducted shooting tests on the five steel plates in turn. Finally, the steel plates using Chen Lao Blacksmith No. 3 carburizing technology left behind some small white spots, almost no deformation or breakdown occurred.

The other steel plates were all shot with sunken marks. The steel plate using Chen Lao Blacksmith No. 3 carburizing technology was set by Wang Yang and decided to be used as a sample.

Old Blacksmith Chen never thought that one day he could really create a piece of armor that could be invulnerable to swords and guns. Although he had never made armor in the past, this did not prevent people from being excited.

In addition to breastplate, there is also the use of mild steel for wire drawing and multi-tube wire drawing. With Wang Yang, a cheater from the future, it is not difficult. The one that Wang Yang expected is mainly a large area of ​​steel plates, and the areas where it needs to be moved are made of chain armor.

The bent steel ring does not require manual work, and can still be replaced by machinery. However, although it can be replaced by machinery, it took three days to get a set of full body armor since it was the first time to make it.

The weight of this set of armor is 20 kilograms lighter than the heaviest gunman armor in the Song Dynasty, which means that the total weight is only about 25 to 26 kilograms in later generations.

However, the arrows were completely unable to penetrate any of them, which greatly guaranteed the personal safety and lightness of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. You should know that the total weight of the Xixia wart armor was nearly thirty kilograms, while the weight of the armor developed by Wang Yang was nearly five kilograms lighter than the other party, which was about eight kilograms equivalent to Song jin.
