Chapter 1019 Twelve pairs of treasure armor, Dalang should take one
Tang Long said to Xiao Tang, and then he picked up the golden object in his hand and shook it. Suddenly, golden light flashed. When Xiao Tang saw Tang Long, he took the high imitation of a vest and soft armor with both hands.
Hold it.
Xiao Tang took the soft armor from Tang Long and weighed it again. He felt that the light armor only weighed about five or six kilograms, and the armor pieces on it were mostly made of fine scale lock steel rings connected in series.
The workmanship is very exquisite, and the craftsmanship of the blacksmiths is not inferior to that of the skilled forging heads in Bianjing official ordnance workshops such as the Bianjing Armory Institute, the Imperial Arms Institute, the Manufacturing Ordnance Institute, and the Duzuo Academy.
Tang Long seemed to be very satisfied when he saw Xiao Tang looking at the soft armor that he had worked so hard to build. He also said very proudly: "Brother's gold armor with wild goose feather rings passed down from the family is really complicated and tight in workmanship. The wild goose feathers alone are
The choice of materials for making armor pieces must be very particular. After repeated deliberation, I estimate that the method of making my brother's heirloom armor is not only the armor-making method of the Song Dynasty, but also seems to be combined with the Qingtang Qiang method of forging armor.
So I tried to forge most of the wrought iron into thin slices. After the fire was fired, I frequently used a cold hammer to harden it, and used a file to open the teeth. The thickness was reduced by about 70% compared with the previous one.
I have also tried it with treasure armor. I couldn't penetrate the armor with a powerful crossbow at a distance of fifty steps. When arrows are used to penetrate the armor, most of the arrows are rolled back and cannot penetrate the iron.
This is an imitation of my brother's golden armor with wild goose feathers, so that it looks and looks like it, so that the brothers in the village can use it in battle."
Xiao Tang looked at Tang Long, who was talking eloquently, and found that the golden leopard's face seemed to have more pockmarks. Although Tang Long was addicted to gambling, he had a unique ingenuity in making ordnance. Now,
It is indeed possible to show off your talents. In the future, brothers in the village will have more protective magic weapons like gold vests and black silkworm clothes. At least they will no longer have to worry about being plotted by assassins, and their lives will be greatly protected when charging into battle.
.
But...are there only twelve pairs of such precious light armor?
When Xiao Tang once again asked Tang Long whether the ordnance workshop in the village could be sped up to produce more light armor if there were more blacksmiths to help, Tang Long shook his head and sighed that it was not made by ordinary means.
For soft armor, whether it is calcined iron blanks, controlling the heat, or selecting materials, it all depends on personal experience accumulated over a long period of time. Even if there are more people building the same thing at the same time, the success rate will be lower. Everyone has different methods of making the same thing.
The difference between the softness and brittleness of ordnance armor is obvious. Even if it is made into shape, it is difficult to be authentic when you finally buy it.
What's more, the official organization of the Song Dynasty to create ordnance and armor implemented division of labor and cooperation. The weapons workshops under the jurisdiction of the capital and local prefectures and counties were divided into large furnaces, small furnaces, threading, grinding, and friction and binding.
There are many workshops such as Toukui Zuo, Ripei Zuo, Toukui Yizi Zuo, etc. After all, the blacksmith workshop in Erlongshan Dazhai still has limited manpower. While rushing to make light armor in the style of Yan Feiquan Golden Armor, it also has to make other ordnance that are difficult to
To be comprehensive. Over the years, Tang Long was able to create twelve pairs of light armors because he tried repeatedly day and night and tried his best.
Tang Long also mentioned that the armor pieces made by the Song Dynasty people by hot forging techniques were indeed exquisite in handling the normalizing, tempering, quenching and annealing heat processes. However, just like the infantry armor equipped by the Song heavy infantry, although it could not
The heavy steel armor that covers the whole body can only increase the number of armor leaves to improve its protection. However, the weight will further increase and it will also significantly reduce the mobility of the soldiers. The Xixia people use multiple smaller armor to make it.
The Qingtang Qiang, especially the Qingtang Qiang, were very good at using the cold forging method to make armor made of long iron armor pieces layered on top of each other. However, this method was difficult to succeed in the Song Dynasty ("Mengxi Bi Tan" written by Shen Kuo)
It is recorded in "Volume 19: Utensils and Uses": Qingtang Qiang is good at forging armor, the iron color is green and black, and the crystal is clear enough to identify the hair, using musk skin as a scorpion, it is soft and tough...).
It seems that it is also because the raw materials produced in the Xia Kingdom are very different from those produced in the Song Dynasty, with deviations in hardness, plasticity, and strength. In addition, few blacksmiths in the workshops in the Song Dynasty have any knowledge of Xia Kingdom's armor-making technology.
Knowing so much, how could one think of imitating armor by combining the manufacturing techniques of the Song and Xia countries?
It is also due to the fact that Tang Long is the son of a Zhizhai official under the rule of Yan'an Prefecture. He is from the western border of Bianting. He not only has a good understanding of Xia's armor-making craftsmanship, but also has ancestral forging skills, so he can make as many fantastic ideas as possible.
Using the golden armor with golden quills inherited from Xu Ning's family, he created a very light armor. As for the selection of iron ore materials, Tang Long relied on Yang Lin, who was in charge of the escort agency to make a living, to purchase some Xixia specialties.
After several years of accumulation and constant attempts to improve, Tang Long still wanted to create light armor, but the raw materials had long been used up. It was also difficult for an ingenious woman to make a meal without rice, so the matter of imitating the precious armor had to be put on hold for the time being.
Xiao Tang also knew that the choice of raw materials when making weapons and armor mainly involves the carbon content of various iron ore materials. It seems that the cold forging technology of armor pieces made from wrought iron can be greatly improved.
The degree of density can also greatly increase the hardness of the armor. However, the materials from which the steel comes are different. How else can it be said that materials produced in foreign countries such as Uzi steel have been extremely famous in all dynasties of China?
Thinking of this, Xiao Tang reached out and patted Tang Long's shoulder to show encouragement, and said: "Brother Tang Long has worked hard. Although it is extremely rare to only build twelve pairs of light armor now, I will teach Yang Xu of Bianjing again."
, the escort company Yanglin will pay more attention to the iron ore items you want, brother, and then purchase more. When we go to the village, brother will still have to work a lot."
Tang Long grinned and said with a smile: "It is only through my brother's trust that he can teach me to show my talents. It makes me feel happy when my skills can be profitable. What's the point of being a little more tired?"
Twelve pairs of light armor, he got one, how should he distribute the rest? Tang Long also knew that Lu Zhishen in Erlong Mountain was in charge of the village chief's duties when his brother was acting in officialdom, and he was also a member of the village.
Among the many leaders, Ruo was the most enthusiastic in inviting battles and killings, so one was specially made according to his body shape. Lu Zhishen was born fat, so only the light armor fit him best.
However, there are still ten pieces of soft armor. Xiao Tang thinks that they are all his brothers, so naturally he cannot favor one over the other. However, according to the distribution of generals and generals in the various camps, horses, infantry, and generals, Lin Chong, Sun An, etc., who have joined forces with him, will also have seniority.
Of course, the bravest generals who are the most brave when charging into battle need to get one. Qin Ming, a leader with a fiery temperament, also seems to need a piece of soft armor to protect himself, because Qin Ming is also always eager to fight first, and he is like that.
He has a very hot-headed personality... The probability of being plotted and seriously injured in a chaotic fight is much higher than that of other leaders.
When Xiao Tang was thinking, he saw Shi Jin, Chen Da, and Yang Chun, the two leaders, also entering the main hall of Baozhu Temple. Although Chen Da was slightly injured in the previous skirmish with Zhujiazhuang, his injuries were probably close to
He was well raised, but he was still angry in his heart, and said: "Last time, I suffered a loss due to the conspiracy of the servants from Zhujiazhuang, so I have been feeling jealous. If we hadn't been caught by chance, we would have been prepared.
How can I teach those guys to succeed? This time I will finally have a big fight with Zhujiazhuang, so that I can avenge my grievances!"
"Since I am my brother, not just Brother Xiao Tang, I will also stand up for you, Brother Chen Da!"
Shi Jin said to Chen Da, then turned to Xiao Tang and said: "Brother, the Panlong Camp led by the former brother is guarding the stronghold and did not follow Xie to Shamen Island to rescue Liu Jinglue. When Shi Qian brothers and others inquire about the Zhu family
When Zhuang Xushi returns, my brother must not be partial this time, and must lead my battalion to attack that bird Zhuangzi!"
At this time, Ou Peng, the commander of Gangyi Battalion in Dazhai, was also in the main hall. Hearing that Shi Jin asked Xiao Tang for orders to fight, he also said loudly: "If you say so, our battalion's general, brother Tang Bin, will also be blessed."
Because of the plot of the birdmen in our village, brother Xiao Tang wants to use troops, and our brothers from the Gangyi Battalion cannot stay in the stronghold!"
Xiao Tang listened to Shi Jin and Ou Peng asking for orders one after another. He smiled slightly, raised his hand and threw the light armor in his hand towards Shi Jin.
