Thinking that Chushan had the opportunity to fundamentally improve the preparation method of suozijia, Zhuang Yong could not suppress his inner excitement and asked:
"Should Shen Lian, Chen Rongjun and others be summoned to Zhaoling, or to Wuyang?"
Shen Lian was the coal and iron supervisor, and Chen Rongjun was the armor worker. To verify the application of drawing method in making armor, Shen Lian had to step in, and Chen Rongjun came forward; Zhuang Yong was better at the preparation of various beams and equipment, and was very knowledgeable about smelting and armor preparation. , the level is better than that of ordinary craftsmen.
Shen Lian is Zhuang Yong's brother-in-law, and Chen Rongjun is Zhuang Yong's senior brother. They are both disciples brought out by Zhuang Shouxin.
Like Yu Chengzhen and Ding Chong, when Zhuang Shouxin defected to Chushan, he also brought several disciples and family members with him. Now they are almost all working in the camp, and Cao is on his own.
Xu Huai shook his head and said: "After I finish my work here, I have to go to Huaiyuan..."
To verify the drawing method, in addition to Shen Lian, Chen Rongjun and three or five craftsmen rushed to Wuyang and Zhaoling. A lot of preparation work still needed to be done, which was too overwhelming.
Xu Huai asked Zhuang Yong to write a secret letter about what was discussed today, and sent it to Shen Lian, Chen Rongjun, Zhuang Shouxin and others. He asked them to organize craftsmen in Huaiyuan and Chushan City to study and verify what he had passed. Just go to Huaiyuan and Chushan City for a while to follow the progress.
"If this method can be accomplished, it will be of great benefit to Chushan. I am humble enough to know a little about iron smelting and other things, so I can go to Huaiyuan on behalf of Commander-in-Chief." Han Gui asked.
"Okay, you can go first for me!"
After Xu Huai finished his trip to Zhaoling, he still had to go to Xiangcheng to go deep into the camp to understand the situation of the generals stationed in various departments along the Shuishui defense line. This might take him ten days and a half.
At this time, Han Gui went to Huaiyuan on his behalf to coordinate all parties to make preparations first. By the time he arrived in Huaiyuan, the matter might have a preliminary conclusion and it would save him a lot of trouble.
After the decision was made, Han Gui simply packed up, brought some wire iron delivered by Anzhou as samples, and set out on his journey under the escort of several guards.
No matter how much the preparation of suozi armor is improved, it will be difficult to reduce the cost in a short period of time compared to leather armor, and its poor anti-puncture performance is a natural flaw that is difficult to overcome. What Xu Huai pays more attention to is whether it is possible for Chushan to mass-produce it. Cheap enough iron wire and iron wire will further promote Chushan's iron industry.
Affected by the war last year, a large number of young men and women were put into active service to prepare for the war. The coal and railway supervision department divided the whole year, and recruited about 6,000 young men and women. However, Chushan uses cooked coal, which is smelted and refined by the one-step continuous furnace method. More than three million kilograms of iron materials were smelted, mainly refined iron materials.
This is a very scary number in this world.
In order to ensure the iron for the casting of weapons, the Khitan once set up official iron-making in Zunhua, Nanjing. At its peak, more than 2,500 Han people were recruited, but the amount of iron used for smelting each year was only more than 300,000 kilograms, which was still crude. Mainly iron material.
Although the Khitan Iron Supervisor in Zunhua was restricted by corrupt officials and was not as efficient as the private iron households, it was still a microcosm of the contemporary iron smelting industry.
It can also be seen that after the Chushan Iron Smelting Industry fully promoted the cooked coal and one-step continuous furnace method, its level was much ahead of the world.
The annual output of three million kilograms of refined iron may seem terrifying, but in reality it is shared equally among Chushan's half a million soldiers and civilians, and the per capita annual output is only an extremely pitiful six kilograms.
Therefore, Chushan is not in a hurry to export refined iron on a large scale. The refined iron materials produced by Shibaliwu and other iron yards are mainly used for the preparation of internal armor, farm tools, and various daily iron tools.
It seems that Chushan did not directly benefit from the cooked coal and one-step furnace refining method, but due to the use of a large number of sophisticated iron tools, Chushan was much more efficient in cultivating, digging rivers, and building post roads and walled cities.
A bit higher than expected.
Take the construction of a stone canal as an example. The construction period was much shorter than Chengzhen and others originally expected. A small iron drill played a huge role.
In the brutal and bloody fierce battles, the Chushan generals relied on their more sophisticated, sharper and tougher arrow clusters, swords, spears, and shields to not only kill the enemy more effectively, but also effectively reduce their own casualties.
The light and strong fine iron chariot has now become the first weapon to be equipped by the whole army, which greatly improves the Chushan Army's mobility in infantry combat near the city.
Therefore, Xu Huai was not limited to the preparation and improvement of a slender iron coin, iron wire or suiji armor, but he thought about whether there was much room for improvement and improvement in the Chushan iron smelting industry in a short period of time.
Comparatively speaking, in Xu Huai's eyes, the slender wire was even more important than the improvement of the preparation method of Suizijia.
However, in the eyes of everyone in Chushan, they valued the improvement of the preparation method of Suo Zijia more.
Xu Huai inspected the army from Xiangcheng, returned to Wuyang, rested for two days, dealt with a batch of letters not signed by him, and rushed to Huaiyuan with Liu Qiong'er.
At this time, more than half a month had passed since he saw the "silk iron" delivered by Anzhou in Zhaoling.
It is still very hot in the Hehuai area in August, but it has become cooler in Tongbai Mountain.
Xu Huai rushed to Huaiyuan City. He originally wanted to summon the Huaiyuan County officials headed by the county magistrate Cheng Yi to understand the county affairs, and then send Xu Zhongyu, Xu Baisong and other Xu family members, Wang family elders and some big surnames who had never stayed in Tongbai Mountain to
The elders of the clan are invited to have a banquet and bond with each other.
However, as soon as Xu Huai came to Huaiyuan City to rest, Han Gui, Shen Lian, Chen Rongjun, as well as Su Laochang and Zhuang Shouxin, who came specially from Chushan City, couldn't wait to present the two newly woven pieces of armor.
On the desk, two pieces of armor are half-made, both only about a foot square. Small iron rings are interlocked and woven into the armor, which is much finer than the traditional suozi armor.
"Chushan is going to make suozi armor in the future? Hey, this armor seems to be much finer than suozi armor..."
Although Huaiyuan Jiazuo, Ordnance Factory and Shibaliwu Iron Works are all within the territory of Huaiyuan County, they and Jinshagou placer gold field are under the jurisdiction of Zuo Changshiyuan Caosi and are independent of Huaiyuan County. Therefore, they are outside Huaiyuan County.
Cheng Yi, who was the magistrate of Huaiyuan, did not know that Han Gui rushed to Huaiyuan to improve the preparation method of suozijia.
However, after repeated setbacks in the imperial examinations, and after being hired by Huaiyuan's Yi Cheng when he was over 40 years old, Cheng Yi, who was in a daze holding a wine pot all day long, was erudite and knowledgeable, and was a rare person in Huaiyuan who was proficient in many chores.
In the improvement of the chute method, the construction of weirs and dams in Tongbai Mountain in the early days, the manufacture of hydraulic equipment such as water dams and water drainage systems, and even the early weapons manufacturing and craftsman training in Zhufengtang, Cheng Yi played a more important role than Xu Wuliang.
The essential.
Cheng Yi was directly responsible for the construction of the workshops when the county was established in Chushan, and later on the construction of courtyards, and later on the Gongcao of Chushan camp and Shenzhou.
A group of great craftsman-level figures such as Yu Chengzhen, Zhuang Shouxin, Ding Chong, Shen Lian, Zhuang Yong, Chen Rongjun, etc. defected from Bianliang to Chushan to supplement the shortage of engineering officers in Chushan.
After the expansion, the counties were even more lacking in administrative officials, so Cheng Yicai changed his knowledge of Huaiyuan County affairs.
Therefore, Suo Zijia has been gradually eliminated from the battlefield. Cheng Yi has not had the opportunity to see the real thing, but he still has a considerable understanding of the traditional Suo Zijia.
He took one piece of armor in his hand and realized that it was somewhat different from the Suozi armor recorded in the Military Book.
"The preparation method is different," Xu Huai said with a smile, "ask Chen Rongjun to tell us how the preparation method of this armor is different from the traditional one..."
The improvement of the preparation method of Suo Zijia is not as simple as directly drawing the semi-molten fine iron bars in the furnace into wires to make thin iron rings.
To ensure the armor's ability to withstand hacking, there is a threshold for the toughness of thin iron rings. Especially in today's world where the quality of forged castings is judged solely by the eyes and feel of skilled craftsmen, subsequent quenching and forging processes are still relatively cumbersome.
, time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Even so, Su Laochang, Zhuang Shouxin and others estimate that the preparation of a suozi armor will save two-thirds of the manpower compared to the old method.
Because the iron rings were finer, the resulting armor was only half the weight of the armor made by the old method and had greater protective power. It was also more flexible and fit the general's body.
Of course, Chen Rongjun and Han Gui had more bold ideas. They introduced their experience in exploring the new law in the past half month and said:
"Each ring buckle is nearly half thinner than the old method. We are thinking that the ring buckle sleeve can also be improved. Changing the single-ring buckle sleeve to a double-ring buckle sleeve is not only more resistant to splitting, but also better in appearance.
, the puncture resistance should also be stronger..."
"oh……"
Xu Huai didn't have time to think about this, so he picked up another piece of armor woven with the double-ring buckle method and looked at the details carefully.
The ability of all armors to resist the cutting of swords is far better than that of spears and spears. The main thing is the sharp spear clusters. When the spear clusters are thrust out, the sharp and sharp spear clusters act on one point; while the long sword cuts, the edge
The power of the blade is spread over a line.
Zhajia is more resistant to penetration than Suozijia. On the one hand, with the current casting technology, it is difficult to ensure that spears and spears are sharp. They are usually blunt-tipped. When spears are stabbed, the purer spear points will hit hard.
When it pierces the nail leaf, the force is still somewhat dispersed.
However, except for the tip of the contemporary spear, the cluster blade is relatively sharp. Once the tip penetrates into the gap of the thin iron ring of the Suizi Armor, the sharp cluster blade will cut the thin iron ring diagonally, which is easier.
There is also the thin iron ring of the Suozi armor, which is broken. The force of the spear thrust is strong enough, and it can directly open the thin iron ring to achieve the goal of breaking the armor.
From this point of view, the puncture resistance of the double-ring buckle sheath is at least twice as strong as that of the old method, even if it is still not as good as the Zha armor.
Chen Rongjun and others also proposed that the new French armor is more flexible and close-fitting, and can be used as a connecting armor for the lapel, shoulders and neck, improving the traditional French armor.
The traditional armor has strong defense, but is not flexible enough. It is mainly used to cover the torso, such as the neck between the iron armor and the shoulder armor, and the protection of the areas below the waist and hips. It is mainly leather armor, but it is enough for slashing with the blade.
Flexible and unencumbered, the elbows and arms are not even protected.
In the past, armor makers have thought about combining Suo Zijia with Zha armor to make armor with stronger protection. However, the old Suo Zi armor is still not soft enough, but the new Suo Zi armor seems to be worthy of a new attempt...
The Red Husbands were very good at riding and shooting. In several battles, their elite archers found themselves in chaotic formations and shot at parts that were not covered by their armor, causing the Chushan Army to lose a lot of troops.
In particular, generals and military personnel are injured on the battlefield by arrows on their elbows, arms, and legs. Although not fatal, the combat effectiveness of the entire formation is weakened, which should not be underestimated. Especially the generals and military personnel who take the lead and charge into the battle need more protection. Comprehensive armor.M.81.M
In addition, Zhuang Shouxin, Chen Rongjun and others all believed that the new Suozi armor was more suitable for making armor and riding equipment.
Heavy armored cavalry are actually not afraid of fighting at close range with spears and spears. When the two armies were fighting hand-to-hand, the Chushan army soldiers slashed with their long soldiers, but the enemy generals had no time to hurt their horses; The most important thing to pay attention to is to prevent crossbows from injuring horses from long distances.
The suozi gear made of a single-ring buckle cover has sufficient protection against long-range crossbows, but it is twice as light as the traditional equipment, which will greatly reduce the burden on the war horse; at the same time, the suozi gear is The outfit is much more convenient to wear than the traditional outfit.
Han Gui and others believe that the new armor will take the Chushan Army's armored cavalry assault tactics to a higher level in the sneak attacks on Bianliang.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road and meets familiar people, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There is no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they are indifferent to everything.
Regarding this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, it also has some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Slayer Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and eventually he is expected to become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possess the memory of the previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that are full of chills, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, causing him to frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to clean away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division...
