It requires both high strength and low weight, which is simply impossible with the materials currently available to the Ministry of Engineering. But with Li Mu having a system, the situation is different.
The skill of forging has only one subsidiary skill, smelting, when it is at the elementary level. When it reaches the intermediate level, it has the additional skill of refining. Now when it reaches the advanced level, it has the subsidiary skill Alloy. It was this skill that gave Li Mu the confidence.
[Alloy: A solid material with special metallic properties obtained by mixing and melting one metal with another or several metals or non-metals, cooling and solidifying.].
Since it is for higher protection strength, the first choice is of course alloy steel.
An iron-carbon alloy formed by adding an appropriate amount of one or more alloying elements to ordinary carbon steel. Depending on the added elements and appropriate processing techniques, high strength, high toughness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance can be obtained
, low temperature resistance, high temperature resistance, non-magnetic and other special properties.
In Li Mu's previous life, alloy steel could be seen everywhere. Ninety-nine percent of all the 'iron' things you could see were alloy steel. There are many types of alloy steel, with tens of thousands of specifications and models.
Some special steels, such as those used in the military field to build aircraft carriers and submarines, are specially produced and are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Fortunately, there is a system in place that can solve this problem.
According to the needs of the system, Li Mu synthesized ordinary iron ore, meteorite, and charcoal in a certain proportion, and successfully produced a high-strength alloy steel. Under the same weight, the protective strength of this alloy steel is that of ordinary iron plates.
Five times. With it, plate armor that originally required fifty kilograms of iron can now achieve the same protective effect with ten kilograms of alloy steel, which is thin and light.
The effect of alloy steel made Li Mu excited. But after looking at the material consumption list, he calmed down instantly. One cart of iron ore and two pieces of meteorite only synthesized less than eighty kilograms of alloy steel. Eight
Ten pounds of alloy steel can barely make two sets of plate armor. After all, the cost of one set of plate armor is as high as more than a thousand guan.
If you use this kind of alloy steel to arm a cavalry, a rough calculation would cost at least 10 million steel.
Who can afford this? Even Li Shimin just wants to arm a cavalry with a million dollars. What's more, even if he has money, he can't mine so much iron ore and provide rare elements under today's conditions.
meteorite!
Therefore, alloy steel is destined to be scarce. Maybe after building Li Chongyi's set of plate armor, it will be difficult to get another set.
Li Mu carefully calculated the required weight of each component. After the calculation, there was still about thirty kilograms left. After thinking about it, he decided to reskill Li Chongyi's existing [Blood Prison Battle Ax] and add this rare alloy steel to it.
Inside. Moreover, when he forged the [Blood Hell Battle Ax], it was only an intermediate forging. Now that he has made it an advanced forging, the forged attributes must be much stronger.
A set of high-end plate armor, plus two high-end weapons. Such a configuration, placed in the game "Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", must be equipment that can only be owned by at least the main fighter of a mid-level gang.
The day passed in the process of smelting synthetic materials. During dinner in the evening, Li Mu calculated the total cost of the materials and found that it was as high as three thousand guan. This did not include the red copper that was going to be added when making the armor.
.If counted, it would be at least twice as much.
Plus the six thousand guan for buying the blueprints
Li Mu's head began to hurt again. Such a way of spending money is really hard for ordinary people to bear. Li Mu glanced at Li Chongyi who was gnawing the leg of lamb carelessly, and thought to himself, Silly brother, what if you go there this time?
Zhenla, if you don’t do something good for your brother, you really can’t forgive your brother’s heart... and the money you spent on it!
That night, I fell asleep again. Early the next morning, the sound of blacksmithing sounded again. The materials had been prepared yesterday, and this time it was serious.
The first piece of equipment Li Mu built was the remanufactured [Blood Hell Tomahawk]. The entire tomahawk was melted, removed of impurities, mixed with alloy steel, and rebuilt. It took a whole morning to finally complete it.
[Blood Prison: Purple quality one-handed axe. It looks like a tiger's tooth, wide open and closed, powerful and domineering, with red threads all over the body, and the blood is like a siphon, hence the name 'Blood Prison'.]
[Basic strength requirement 20].
[Endurance +10].
The quality was upgraded from blue to purple, the weight was reduced from 81 kilograms to 64 kilograms, and the increased attribute points were from 3 points for strength and endurance to 10 points for endurance, which is a good improvement.
After lunch, the brothers started to make another ax, which could be combined with the [Blood Hell Battle Ax] to form a set of [Shura Battle Ax]. At dusk, the [Shura Battle Ax] was also completed.
[Shura: Purple quality one-handed axe. It looks like a dragon scissors, opens and closes vertically and horizontally, and is fierce and fierce. It eats souls and hurts people without calculation, so it is called "Shura".]
[Basic strength requirement 20].
[Strength +10].
In order to balance his left and right hands, Li Mu also controlled the weight of the ax at 64 kilograms. The strength is increased by 10, which is also a good attribute for a warrior. What makes Li Mu even more excited is that with the birth of [Shura], the two
The attributes of the set composed of axes are also displayed.
[Bloodthirsty: The breath of blood makes the warrior enter a state of rage, forgetting the pain, and wielding double axes to brutally suppress the enemy.].
The effect of this set, simply put, is that the more you fight, the braver you become. For a violent warrior, it is definitely an excellent attribute.
Li Mu used the remaining alloy steel to make two iron ropes. Both ends of the iron ropes had machine brackets. They could connect two axes together or connect the ax to the arm guard. No matter how Li Chongyi used it,
When he rushes into the enemy formation and uses "Whirlwind", the ax will not fly out and cannot be retrieved.
Eat and sleep. On the third day, Li Mu and Li Chongyi began to build the [Blood Refining Armor].
Making armor is much easier than making weapons. In one morning, the helmet and breastplate were made. At dusk, after a little overtime, the arm guards, skirt armor, and waist guard were also made.
But this time, I didn't have the same luck as yesterday. The entire set of armor was of blue quality and there was not a single purple piece of equipment.
[Blood Refining Helmet: Basic strength requirement is 10, endurance +5.].
Although the attributes make Li Mu a little disappointed, it does not affect the appearance at all. Moreover, Li Chongyi's physique is displayed there, wearing this set of domineering armor with a faint dark red glow due to the addition of red copper, paired with Blood Prison and Shura
The two axes are like the god of death appearing in the world. Those who are timid can be frightened to death.
"How do you feel after putting it on?"
Li Chongyi moved for a moment and said, "It's not much heavier than leather armor."
Dugujiu heard this from the side and frowned: "Brother, can such a light armor protect against arrows?"
"Arrows?" Li Mu raised a smile. He was about to ask Dugujiu to draw his sword and strike. Suddenly he remembered that his sword was golden equipment and had the characteristic of "cutting iron like mud". He quickly suppressed his words and changed his words.
: "Don't worry, ordinary arrows will never hurt you, they won't even leave a mark. If you don't believe me, go get a crossbow and try it."
Dugujiu was still there, so he turned around and went to get it. In Li Mu's car, there was a repeating crossbow. This was prepared by him for emergencies. If someone attacked and Dugujiu couldn't respond in time, he had a repeating crossbow.
Can withstand it for a while.
Li Chongyi also wanted to know how strong the protection of this light armor was. When he saw Dugu Jiu coming back with a repeating crossbow, he asked him to shoot an arrow at him. But Dugu Jiu refused, so he pulled the trigger of the repeating crossbow and the arrows flew out. He
I was worried that if the protective effect of the armor was not good enough, Li Chongyi would be injured.
Li Chongyi repeatedly said it was okay, but Dugujiu refused, so he had no choice but to take off the breastplate and hang it on a tree for experiment.
Dugujiu pressed the button, and ten short arrows shot out. There was only the crisp sound of ping-pong, and looking at the armor, there was no damage at all. The ten short arrows were all cut open by the curvature of the breastplate and flew to other places.
, none of which caused any harm.
After the test, Dugujiu finally felt relieved. Seeing that Li Chongyi had such good armor on his body, he was also happy. After working hard for three days, it was considered complete. There was still some alloy steel left that was not used, which was carefully removed by Li Mu.
I put it away. I plan to make a dagger or something for self-defense when I have free time in the future.
Tomorrow is the day to set off. In the past three days, Li Mu has been giving orders to prepare for Li Chongyi's trip. The blacksmiths in the factory have temporarily stopped making plowshares and devoted themselves to making crossbow arrows. After three days, they have saved a lot.
, enough for five hundred Jin Yiwei. Li Mu also said hello to Liu Shenwei. He prepared emergency medical kits for Jin Yiwei, which can be used to deal with internal injuries, external injuries, miasma poisonous snakes, etc. Wang Ou's side
, Li Mu also asked someone to notify her, asking her to prepare three sets of clothes for each Jinyiwei, keeping them for changing and washing along the way. Li Ying also sent a message to Li Ying, asking him to prepare several large cars to transport people when they go, and when they come back.
Used to transport rice seeds. He even asked Bai Nao'er to find a cook and prepare dry food for Jin Yiwei...
No matter how big or small, as long as Li Mu could think of it, he had prepared it for Li Chongyi. In the end, he was still worried. After all, no matter how tall and strong Li Chongyi was, he was only fourteen years old. How could Li Mu let go when he was out of sight?
He must be determined. Li Mu has already done everything he can do now. If there is another accident, he has nothing to do, it can only be said to be God's will.
On the last night before parting, the three brothers made a tacit agreement not to go back to the tent to sleep. They drank three cups of roasted chicken and beef jerky, Zhuangyuanhong. Without a few words, they drank in silence until dawn.
