Vol 2 Chapter 206: Fine iron to create a high nail plate

Liu Yu said with a smile: "If the Bai Steelmaking knife really becomes a finger-flexing softness, wouldn't it be the toughness of Bai Steelmaking and the softness of wrought iron, but it can be soft or hard, is it invincible in the world?"

Kong Jing smiled slightly, and there was an intriguing ray of light in his eyes: "This is the lifelong pursuit of every swordsmith. Maybe, we can make such a magic weapon!"

Liu Yu nodded: "Then this piece of nails doesn't need to be made of 100 steel."

Kong Jing said: "Yes, although Baihuan Steel is an exaggeration, it must be hammered six or seventy times at least until the weight is not reduced. Whether it is for the consumption of materials or labor, it is very expensive. Ten pounds of iron ore and fine iron powder, charcoal powder, can only produce a pound of steel making a hundred pounds, if even ordinary soldiers have to use 100 steel making equipment, then the country can only raise a few thousand troops. "

Liu Yu laughed: "So, this thing can only get a few pieces, to equip the generals, other sergeants, or can only wear ordinary iron armor?"

Kong Jing shook his head: "General military, it is good to wear leather armor. According to the military system of Dajin, only 60% of the combat sergeants wear leather armor. Like archers, they can only wear cloth armor, not even armor. , Only wearing coarse clothes. The Beifu Army is already a sharp armoured soldier, so we will ensure that all the front-line combat troops have armor to wear, and the tiger troops are equipped with stainless steel armor. "

Liu Yu frowned: "Stainless steel armor? How to define this stainless steel?"

Kong Jing walked to the side of a red one, looking at the special eye-catching small basket with dense nails in it. He took one from it and handed it to Liu Yu: "Look, this nail is , What is the difference from what you just saw? "

Liu Yu took this piece of nail and carefully rubbed it in his hand while observing it, only to feel that this piece of nail leaf was smooth with tentacles, unlike the previous piece, it was a bit rough to the touch, and this weight is more than that The nail pieces that were about half a dollar were slightly lighter, only about eight baht. (One or two twenty-four baht, each plant weighs ten grains, about 0.65 grams)

Liu Yu weighed this piece of nail while saying, "It looks like this piece of nail is lighter, smoother, and ..." he said, flexing this with two fingers. The nail piece, the piece of iron armor he used just now, used such a three-point force on his hand. After it was folded, he could bend the nail piece all at once, but this nail piece, with the force he just used, was still. It wasn't until he added 50% of his hand strength for the second time that this piece of nail began to bend slightly.

Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's a lot harder than the previous one. It seems that it can not only prevent arrows, but ordinary sergeants can also prevent them from slashing at close range. Is this stainless steel?"

Kong Jing nodded, took this piece of Jiaye, and threw it back into the red basket, saying, "Yes, this is stainless steel. It is the product obtained after fifteen times of repeated forging. Although it is not comparable. Hundreds of steel, but also very good steel, the armored combat gears are generally equipped with elite Chinese troops, or generals ’nephews, especially for cavalry who are assault forces of the whole army."

Liu Yu's mind suddenly showed the appearance of Murong Nan and asked: "Xianbei people in the north have armor and riding equipment. Are these armored war horses wearing these steel armor?"

Kong Jing frowned: "Murong's family has been in Liaodong for a long time, and the iron smelting technology is very high. The method of armoring they used is not exactly the same as ours. What they created, I don't know how to define it, but in my opinion Come, its strength is even higher than that of Bai Steel! "

Liu Yu opened his eyes wide: "Is it so powerful?"

Kong Jing sighed: "The Murong family's armored warfare is invincible in the world, but it is not a blow. Of course, only their own homeland will have a secret method to create fine armor, and the servant tribes have no right to equip fine armor. They can only be equipped with ordinary armor. Speaking of it, Murong ’s one hundred thousand iron ride, but the really powerful, only three thousand head armor uniforms. "

Liu Yu nodded: "But if these three thousand iron riders are incapable of wearing swords and guns, wearing armor that is more powerful than steelmaking, it will be troublesome. I really have to find a good way to deal with it."

Kong Jing smiled slightly: "If you know how Murong's armor was built, you may have a chance to crack it. However, now we still think about how to create a steel plate for our troops. Liu Yu, these steels are enslaved. Let's prepare, you have great strength, all you have to do is to forge the nail pieces. "

Liu Yu frowned: "Forged nail pieces? What do you mean?"

The hair ball on the side said: "The nail pieces are made of cold-forged stainless steel blocks, which is different from the hot calcination that needs to be red and deformed, and then re-made into the shape we want. Therefore, it is completely necessary Use strength to hit these already formed pieces of iron into pieces of nails. "

He said, a large basket on the side of one finger ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ is full of such small pieces of stainless steel lump, said: "These are the original pieces of nail pieces, you want The thing to do is to make this kind of original billet into the kind of stainless steel armor you just saw. "

Liu Yu nodded: "Understood, I see that the surface of these nail pieces is very smooth. This is not just a hammer, it needs to be polished."

Kong Jingzheng said: "Yes, these small stainless steel blocks were poured out little by little when they became molten steel. Based on their experience, the craftsmen poured them out in a variety of shapes. They need a strong man to smash them with an iron hammer. Smash this nail look, and then someone will deal with the surface, polish it smooth, drill holes, etc. Liu Zhengzheng, you only need to hammer it. "

He said, picking up a big hammer with a weight of thirty to forty pounds on the side, and handed it to Liu Yu: "Liu Team is up to you."

Liu Yu nodded, and suddenly thought of something, said: "When I look at these nails, they all need to be a bit curved, not a complete tablet. So, do you need a special anvil to build?"

Kong Jing stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "No, it was slowly tapped with a small hammer. Of course, this does not require you to do it, or it is for the craftsman who polishes and drills. You just need to put these steels It can be broken into this roughly rectangular shape. It ’s an effort. "

Liu Yu shook his head suddenly: "Master Kong, maybe, we have a better way to directly shape the nails!"

Kong Jingqi said: "A better way? Do you have any ancestral secrets?"

Liu Yu smiled: "I know a fat man. He has read many books. When it comes to ironing, he once said that instead of cold forging, it is better to make it in the molten iron state, just need to be good enough. Mold, you can do it! "
