Chapter 342: Marching Sima
Luo Ning's voice sounded in the courtyard, and many of the armor introductions were what Wei Wenchang had thought of, but the guards around him were just ordinary soldiers. They couldn't think of these. In their eyes, the armor must be strong, and the strong armor is good. The general looked down on the set of divine turtle armor, and the captain of the guards looked down on it, but these soldiers were the most beautiful. If they could wear divine turtle armor and go to the battlefield, it would be like a tank, just push it over.
After introducing the armor, I then rode the spear tip. This was what Cui Cheng asked. Originally, Luo Ning was not happy. What's the point of this kind of thing that has no technical content?
But when I really build it, I realized that the spear tip is not inferior to armor at all, and the requirements for material are much higher than armor.
A few days ago, I created a few pieces and asked the teacher for advice. The teacher just said: What if I use my spear and attack my armor?
After returning, everyone was stunned when they tried it. Their attention was all on the armor. The spearhead used ordinary alloys and stabbed with all their strength, but they could not pierce the bright light armor, let alone the divine turtle armor.
This is not possible. The spear is a point and the armor is one side. The point cannot break the surface. What kind of tricks are you?
To change, you must change it. I found Mozi. Mozi said casually, "There is no best alloy, only the most suitable one, which immediately made Luo Ning, who thought she was extremely wise, blushed. This principle is actually not difficult to understand, it was her attachment to her.
After several experiments, we finally selected an alloy, hard, sharp and tough. These three characteristics are enough. Today's cavalry can pierce the bright light armor with one spear when the war horse charges. As long as the focus is right, we will basically not miss it. It is still a bit difficult to deal with the divine turtle armor. It is still very difficult for ordinary soldiers to pierce the divine turtle armor with their cavalry armor.
After seeing the sample, Mo Zi directly thickened and heavy the spear blade, and the effect was instantly doubled, and even the divine turtle armor might not be able to stop it.
This made Luo Ning embarrassed again. The armor was not good enough...
Then there is a crossbow, and the laboratory is not ready to build a bow. Although it is all long-range weapons, the difficulty of creating a bow is much higher than that of a crossbow.
In fact, it takes a long time to build a crossbow. First of all, the wood used for crossbow arms requires at least one year of air drying, glue brushing, etc. It is simple to place it in the Shengong Hall. Just put the fine iron directly on the spring, use fine iron as the arm and tiger tendons as the strings.
The tiger tendons mentioned here are not tiger tendons, but a creature in the underground world called the Climbing Tiger. It is not big, has thick limbs, and has webbed feet. It can leaps freely on the rock walls at a very fast speed and is difficult to hunt. The most annoying thing is that there is not much meat and it is not delicious. No one has hunted it before.
On an occasional opportunity, the hunting team found that the tendons of this thing were so strong that they were so strong that they were so elastic, far better than those of cattle and horses, and even the real tiger tendons were far inferior.
Moreover, this kind of creature is extremely common in the underground world and has a large number. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will have as much as you want.
A crossbow string made of ground-climbing tiger tendons can reach ten stones at will. Ordinary soldiers cannot successfully pedal the strings with their feet by relying on the strength of their waist and arms. In the end, they can only use ratchet mechanisms.
This weapon, named by Luo Ning as the Divine Arm Crossbow, is not big in size and has two feet long in crossbow arms. This is basically the size of a single crossbow in Da Chu. After installing a ratchet, it weighs 28 kilograms and 6 liang, but it has the power of twelve stones.
After hearing this, General Wei curiously picked up a divine arm crossbow, held the crossbow arm with his left hand and pulled the string with his right hand. With a sound of tooth soreness, he successfully wound the string with one hand.
Seeing that he was easy to skew, Luo Ning suspected that he had just taken the wrong thing. Then he realized that the general was a top master, and his strength was not comparable to ordinary people. A crossbow worth more than a dozen stones was naturally nothing in his hands. It is said that even the masters could skew the bed crossbow. Although the divine arm crossbow is powerful, it is still much worse than the bed crossbow.
Even the smallest cavalry crossbow has at least twenty stones, and the siege crossbow can reach forty to fifty stones, which is a powerful crossbow that threatens the earth immortals.
The crossbow of the Divine Arm Crossbow is very short, and it uses a one-and-a-half-foot-long iron arrow with a barb on it. Wei Wenchang raised his hand to shoot the arrow.
With a buzzing sound, the speed of the Jing Iron Arrow had exceeded the extreme of the human eye, and even Wei Wenchang's eyesight could not keep up.
Thirty steps away, the fine iron arrow hit the center of a set of white armor. With a crisp sound, a large piece of it broke at the chest of the white armor, but it also lowered the crossbow arrow.
Although the previous introduction was detailed, it was not as good as seeing with his own eyes. He slid the strings with his own hands and tried the power of the crossbow machine, at least twelve stones, or even higher. Thirty steps away, he failed to shoot through the white armor.
What a strong attack! What a strong defense!
For a moment, Wei Wenchang didn't know how to choose, should he have a stronger attack or a stronger defense?
This problem has been bothering Luo Ning a few days ago. Although she is smart, she is not a soldier after all, and she doesn't know which direction should the future experiment be inclined.
"I want it, I want the Mingguang Armor, Nether Armor, Divine Turtle Armor, and this Divine Armor Crossbow and Cavalry Blade, all of them are needed, as much as you want!" Wei Wenchang said firmly. With these divine weapons and weapons, why fear the Austrian Army?
Cui Cheng was overjoyed. He took the risk of going beyond his level to meet General Wei. This was the result. Otherwise, he would not be able to live his life in the future. Even if he was not dismissed from office, he would not have the shame to continue to be a doctor in the workshop.
"General, this matter is inappropriate." Cui Cheng suppressed the joy in his heart and stepped forward and replied.
"Oh? Are you the doctor of the workshop?" Wei Wenchang also calmed down and said a big deal. He had seen the output of the Shengongcheng blast furnace. It was too exaggerated to ask for it. With Dachu's current financial ability, he was afraid that he could not even afford the cost price.
"That's right, Cui Cheng. This year, our workshop will be ordered to produce 5,000 heavy armor sets." Cui Cheng said softly.
Oh! So that's it, understand, understand.
Wei Wenchang is not a simple martial artist. At such a position, he is not only a soldier, but also a half-politician, and he can understand it at first.
This is a desperate situation. Although he has limited knowledge of the workshop, he also knows how difficult it is to build heavy armor for the officials of the Ministry of Works. The general has a clear idea. Five thousand sets of heavy armor are indeed difficult.
You should know that in normal years, two major workshops and dozens of small and medium-sized workshops can produce about 3,000 sets of damaged heavy armor. Over the years, the number of heavy armor in Dachu has been in a state of equality.
After all, it has been affected by disasters for many years, and the country has no surplus food and no money to build more heavy armors. Apart from the tens of thousands of sets of spare heavy armors stored in the warehouse, the number of heavy armors has not increased in recent years.
It is not difficult to double the production of the workshop in the past? What is it? Not to mention whether it can be built, Wei Wenchang suspected that the Ministry of Works could not produce enough fine iron materials, and the so-called military preparation plan may still remain on paper.
As a doctor in the workshop, I should be so worried that I can hit the wall with my head. When I got here, I looked at the iron ore all over the ground, hundreds of blast furnaces, and the iron is like a river. How could I not be excited?
"Tell me, what's wrong?" Wei Wenchang said. This is the opportunity to give Cui Cheng a speech. Such an opportunity is very rare for Cui Cheng. Not to mention that it soars into the sky, it at least has the eyes of the general.
"Please report some matters to the court, transfer the craftsmen of the Works Department's workshop to set up a workshop." Cui Cheng said.
"Okay!" Wei Wenchang slapped Cui Cheng almost slapped him on the ground.
This is a good idea. If the mountain doesn’t come, I will go. Why don’t I go there? There are many ores here and there are many blast furnaces. The most important thing is, even if the people from the Ministry of Industry give them samples, can they create them?
The style is fine, and it can even be made more beautiful, but the quality is not as good as it is. Each pair of heavy armor used by the Great Chu Chongqi is carefully selected materials. The great workers keep going day and night, and it takes a long time to create a set.
Not only is the quality not good, but the speed not good.
Here, different!
"It's well said. From now on, you will be the marching Sima of the Army Preparatory Department of my Yulin Legion. I will take office soon. I will talk about it if I have the Secretary of Qiu." Wei Wenchang said, this person has a good vision.
For Cui Cheng, a big event like a collapsed sky is just a matter of one sentence for Wei Wenchang.
"Thank you, General." Cui Cheng knelt on one knee. The military rituals were completely different from the scholar's rituals. Since he was a marching Sima, he was naturally a military member.
In the distant Romon Islands, a new city rose from the ground and was built at a fast speed that made the craftsmen of the Great Chu ashamed. This place will become the base for the Ao people. In the near future, more than five million soldiers will arrive and rest.
The first batch of eight armies arrived here, plus four armies of the pioneer army. There was no pioneer army in the Austrian military system. This was a brand new organization, but it was the craftsman camp. It was just that the Austrians magnified the craftsman camp hundreds of times and became a monster like the pioneer army.
Three of these four pioneering armies are engineering pioneering armies, which are actually building houses and roads, and another maintenance pioneering armies, which build troops for the maintenance of eight legions.
In addition to the well-organized legion, there were also a large number of farmers who were good at farming. Da Chu was short of food, and the Ao people were even short of food. Even the generals could only have two meals a day.
The population of Austria is 60,000, but the number of fleets is far from enough. In addition, the distance is far away and there are still tide fogs. Small fleets are often lost. In order to explore this sea route, thousands of ships have been lost over the past decades. Now they have finally opened up the sea route and found a place to settle down.
The Romon Islands were too small to obviously not meet the needs of the Ao people. The Ao people's eyes turned to Da Chu, which was a barely acceptable land. After squeezing, they could still accommodate the Ao people.
The problem now is that there are not enough ships and even people cannot transport them. Where can I get a cabin to transport grain? All cabins have been strictly calculated and only carry food that can barely make a living. As the first batch of island-based troops, they also have the important task of preparing food for subsequent fleets.
