After understanding the current situation, Jiang Fan returned to his own world.
Because the equipment and weapon upgrades mentioned to Chen Ang need to be dealt with as soon as possible.
Since we no longer plan to carry hot weapons to other worlds, the most direct way to improve the combat effectiveness of our own army is to improve the forging materials of weapons and armor.
The current weapons and equipment in the other world are basically made of iron, and there are even some bronzes mixed in.
And even iron weapons are actually difficult to cover in the hands of all soldiers.
Weapons will of course provide as much iron as possible, but as for the armor...most of them are just careless.
The extremely low productivity makes the mining of mineral deposits in other worlds very primitive.
The annual output of ore cannot support the large-scale deployment of standard equipment, so if every soldier can wear real armor, the improvement in the army's combat effectiveness will be immeasurable.
Soldiers with qualified armor will become more desperate. Once all soldiers can be brave and fearless of death, the entire army will have the momentum to destroy everything.
Of course, Jiang Fan had no intention of providing iron armor to his soldiers.
Not only is the plasticity of iron itself poor, its ductility is almost zero, and it is very easy to damage, but the main reason is that iron is too heavy...
If a full-body armor capable of protecting vital parts was made and then worn on the body, ordinary soldiers would be exhausted to death before even walking a few steps, let alone fighting.
So Jiang Fan's idea is to make armors in his own world and then transport them to other worlds in batches.
As for weapons...even if they are cold weapons, if you find a factory for large-scale manufacturing, I'm afraid you will still have a lot of trouble.
Rather than manufacturing it in one's own world, it is better to teach the Lin family the local method of making steel in the blast furnace, and let the Lin family arrange manpower to directly produce steel materials in other worlds, and then use the refined steel materials to make weapons.
Since the armor is made in your own world, the choice of materials is much richer.
Jiang Fan's initial idea was to find a titanium alloy processing factory, and then find a designer to specially design a standard ancient full-body armor, and have the factory produce it.
Titanium alloy itself has better strength and ductility than steel, but its weight is much lighter than steel.
Therefore, armor forged from titanium alloy can almost meet the needs of war.
Although titanium alloy also has a certain weight, but in this world, ordinary soldiers in the army of our country are required to be able to complete a five-kilometer cross-country trek with a load of 20 kilograms. In this case, the weight of titanium alloy is
It shouldn't have much impact on soldiers from other worlds.
He sacrificed part of his endurance and mobility, but the benefit in exchange was a nearly invincible defense in another world.
Such a deal is certainly a good deal.
Thinking about these things, Jiang Fan called Jian Jiayi and asked Jian Jiayi to find a professional armor designer to design two standard armors.
One is for infantry, and the other is, of course, for cavalry.
However, Jiang Fan's request seemed so bizarre to Jian Jiayi that after Jian Jiayi repeatedly confirmed it with Jiang Fan, she agreed with a strange voice.
There is certainly no one in this world who actually designs armor for a living.
But there is no shortage of related enthusiasts, even obsessed ones.
With the strength of the Jian family, it is not difficult to find such a person.
Considering the principle of not bothering two people, Jiang Fan simply handed over the task of finding a titanium alloy factory to process and mass-produce the armor to Jian Jiayi.
Although it was unclear what Jiang Fan was planning, since it was Jiang Fan's responsibility, Jian Jiayi would still do her best to handle it.
After hanging up the phone from Jian Jiayi, Jiang Fan no longer worried about the armor, but searched online for relevant knowledge about blast furnace steelmaking.
After remembering everything in my mind, I headed back to another world.
It is indeed not difficult. With the current development level of the world, it can easily support all the needs of blast furnace steelmaking.
Because steelmaking is really not high-end.
During the Great Leap Forward era, in order to achieve the political task of catching up with Europe and the United States in steel production, countless crude blast furnaces were built across the country.
Even the most ordinary farmer in the countryside can build corresponding steelmaking facilities by himself.
Although most of the steel refined in this way does not meet the world standard qualification index, steel is steel after all, and it is definitely still much better than iron.
Jiang Fan doesn't need his own army to have much more weapons.
As long as you can ensure your own safety, it is enough for the weapon to be sharper and tougher than the enemy's.
This small requirement can be met by the scrap steel produced in the blast furnace.
After leaving the wing, Jiang Fan directly called a member of the Lin family, and then explained the corresponding methods and key points of blast furnace steelmaking to the Lin family member in detail.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Fan patted the Lin family member on the shoulder and said: "From today on, you are the special envoy of steelmaking. From now on, you will be responsible for all the steelmaking affairs of the family. I hope you will carry forward the solid work."
The spirit of hard work, hard work, and continuous improvement can produce real good steel for the family."
The Lin family member looked confused and nodded stupidly in agreement.
In fact, he didn't understand what steel was, but anyway, what Jiang Fan gave him was detailed enough.
Just follow the steps written above.
As for the required materials, they can also be found in Heyang City.
Based on the current status of the Lin family in Heyang City, whatever Heyang City has, they can requisition at will.
Of course, money still has to be paid.
Anyway, the money paid will eventually be put into the market of Heyang City, and after transformation, it will eventually flow back into the Qian family's bank.
This member of the Lin family is extremely efficient.
There were no technical difficulties in the construction of the earthen blast furnace. By the afternoon, the first earthen blast furnace had been built.
Later, Lin Wanru, Chen Ang and Lin Wanqing, who came back from nowhere, accompanied Jiang Fan and witnessed with their own eyes the birth of the first batch of steel in the other world.
The steel after cooling can only be said to be unsatisfactory. It cannot be compared with the steel in my own world, but it is indeed much better than iron.
After testing the strength of the steel, Chen Ang was quite pleasantly surprised. As a pragmatic old man, he knew very well what significance the improvement in the strength of this material could bring.
Therefore, without any hesitation, the decree to use steel to forge new weapons for soldiers was directly issued to the entire county of Handong.
