Chapter 3 The battalion commander's chest muscles are really good (3)
"Sir, what do you want?" A shopkeeper in the blacksmith shop saw Zhou Weiqing in the uniform of an archer and immediately came over to him. Although the profession of blacksmith is not humble, it is still far behind that of soldiers. Tiangong
The most respected people in the empire besides the Pearl Master are the soldiers. The Tiangong Imperial Army, with a total strength of only 50,000, has defeated foreign invasion countless times and is deeply loved by the civilians. Although Zhou Weiqing looks young, he is wearing a standard military uniform.
Still very uplifting.
Zhou Weiqing asked: "Are you the boss here?"
"Yes, I am. Although our shop is not too big, it is a time-honored one in our Tiangong City. It has a good reputation. Whatever you want to buy, I will give you the advantage. After all, you also want to protect the family.
Country!"
Zhou Weiqing chuckled, raised his hand, took off the hood and handed it to the boss, looked outside, then approached the blacksmith shop owner, and said mysteriously: "Boss, I am the fifth regiment of the Imperial Army.
Quartermaster of the Third Archery Battalion. This time, our battalion commander asked me to come out and build something. If you make this thing well, I don’t need to tell you the benefits, right?"
The boss hesitated for a moment and looked Zhou Weiqing up and down. Although the archer in front of him was a little younger, he had a simple and honest face. He didn't look like a treacherous person, let alone a liar.
Zhou Weiqing lowered his voice and said: "You don't know about our three battalions? You will understand when we talk about our battalion commander. Our battalion commander is the most beautiful woman in the empire, Lord Shangguan Bing. You can go and find out."
Hearing the words Shangguan Bing'er, the blacksmith shop owner's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sir, what does Lord Shangguan Bing want to do?" Shangguan Bing'er is a myth to ordinary civilians.
Known as the goddess of the common people. This loyal boss would never believe that someone would use Shangguan Bing'er to deceive others, otherwise he would be despised by all the common people. How could he know that the person in front of him was also a viscount. If Shangguan Bing was allowed to
I knew Zhou Weiqing was actually using her name to deceive her, so I wondered if it would really make this guy unable to be a man.
Zhou Weiqing said: "We need a metal that is extremely hard in texture, but the lighter the better, the better. And it needs to be fast. We need it today. We need to rush the work immediately. Money is not an issue." As he said this, he took out his own
I just received my military pay and slapped the few gold coins on the table.
Zhou Weiqing has not needed to practice since he was a child, and his cunning mind is beyond comparison with others of his age. The reason why he took advantage of the beautiful battalion commander was because of his speed. Generally, there is a queue to build something in a blacksmith shop, but he can
Can't wait.
The owner of the blacksmith shop nodded immediately and said: "No problem, we happen to have precious titanium alloy in our shop. This thing was refined by the Fire Elemental Intention Master. Although the price is high, it has exactly the characteristics you want. However,
The price is also relatively expensive, one kilogram of titanium alloy costs ten gold coins. Well, for the sake of Lord Shangguan Bing, I will charge you the cost price, seven gold coins per kilogram. How about that?" Seeing Zhou Weiqing take out the money.
By that time, he had completely believed in this honest-looking young man.
When Zhou Weiqing heard the word titanium alloy, his eyes suddenly lit up. He had heard of this thing before. He had a set of armor made of titanium alloy. It was light in weight and extremely tough. It was the best for forging weapons and equipment.
One of the materials. He was overjoyed at the moment, "Okay, that's it. This is what I want to build." As he said that, Zhou Weiqing handed the hood in his hand to the blacksmith shop owner.
The boss was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this a hood?"
Zhou Weiqing nodded and said: "It just needs to be made to look like a hood, think about it! On the battlefield, what we archers usually have to face are the enemy's bows and arrows. If the hood is replaced by titanium alloy, the enemy's missiles will
Can the arrows hurt us? Moreover, I asked for a handle made of multi-layered canvas inside the hood, so that when I hold it in my hand, it can turn into a shield."
Hearing what Zhou Weiqing said, the blacksmith shop owner's eyes suddenly lit up. This was completely feasible, but titanium alloy was so expensive, could it be used to assemble all archers?
Zhou Weiqing had this idea for a long time. When he had nothing to do at home, he loved to think about strange things. When he signed up to join the army, the captain of the Bingyouzi team told him that archers were the safest. That was simply
Shit, as the son of a marshal, how could Zhou Weiqing not know that archers, especially the longbowmen of the Tiangong Empire, are one of the most expensive units on the battlefield. The longbowmen's attack power is extremely amazing, so they must be the enemy's
Focus on taking care of the target. Cross-shooting situations are not uncommon. The reason why I still choose this profession is because he has a way to deal with it, and archers really don't need to fight hand-to-hand.
He came up with this idea when he was eleven years old, transforming the hood of a long archer into a shield. It is extremely simple to use on the battlefield. When the opponent attacks, he only needs to squat down, curl up as much as possible, and then lower
With his head, the opponent's bow and arrows were almost completely blocked by this hat. This kind of idea would never be thought of by ordinary people. Only a guy like Zhou Weiqing, who is naturally afraid of death and has a wretched heart, could think of it. He also wanted to tell his father
, but every time he saw the serious look on his father's face, he couldn't say anything. God knew whether his father would approve his suggestion, and the entire army was not equipped with such things as ultra-light metal.
"I admire you. This must be the Viscount's idea. It's so creative. Okay, we've taken over this job. I'll let everyone rush to work now. It must be done before tonight. Then we will charge according to the amount of materials used. I will give you the labor cost."
I don’t want anything from you anymore. I’ll give you six gold coins and one kilogram of titanium alloy.”
This is the advantage of cheating. He doesn't need to ask for it, and others will take the initiative to lower the price. Zhou Weiqing is extremely proud of it. As for the boss passing on such obscene thoughts to Shangguan Bing'er, he doesn't care at all. Safety comes first.
Well.
"Boss, do you have any other items made of titanium alloy here? It's best to wear them for defense." Zhou Weiqing had never heard of the price of six gold coins per kilogram of titanium alloy. According to what he heard,
You know, the normal price should be ten to twelve gold coins per kilogram. After entering the army, you are likely to go to the battlefield, so it is always good to prepare more armor for yourself.
"You really asked the right person. I also have a piece of titanium alloy inner armor here. It is made of titanium alloy and woven with the sinews of the beast demon tough snake. It is light and close to the body, and it is more than enough to defend against the bows and arrows of your long archers.
." As he said that, the boss walked behind the counter and took out a tray with a shining silver inner armor on it.
Zhou Weiqing grabbed the inner armor unceremoniously into his hand and shook it open. It was a half-body inner armor that could protect the entire upper body including the arms. The silver armor was gleaming. More importantly, it was light in weight.
To two kilograms. This is the benefit of titanium alloy.
Seeing this thing, Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Okay, this is good, I want this. I estimate it weighs about one kilogram. Boss, don't worry, I won't let you suffer, even if it's two kilograms. Here you go.
, these are twelve gold coins." As he spoke, Zhou Weiqing quickly took out twelve gold coins and lined them up on the table.
