The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

As the best arsenal on the continent, many kingdoms will entrust Holy Forge to develop and produce some equipment.

This time, the Rebach Kingdom, located in the southeast of the Biberach Kingdom and entrenched on the north bank of the Great River, commissioned the Holy Land forging to develop and produce a new type of Velociraptor armor.

In the workshop, Charles saw a 1:1 Velociraptor model.

Velociraptors resembled the hornless, late Cretaceous Triceratops. It is more than three meters long, with a back height of nearly two meters and a head that accounts for nearly one-third of its body length. Behind the head is a tall bone shield and a stubby tail behind it. The total length can be close to five meters. . It has short, broad feet and is good at running with heavy loads.

"Although it usually likes to graze slowly on the grass like sheep, it doesn't seem to be worthy of the name of a velociraptor." Halcala was introducing this sub-dragon to Charles, "but it is a dragoon on the ground. The most used wurm. And its name comes from how they perform on the battlefield."

Charles nodded after hearing this. The dragoons quickly rushed into the battlefield on such a guy who was wearing armor and weighed several tons. For the infantry, it was a situation of crushing all the way.

On the battlefield, these dragoons have also become the focus of various long-range strike forces. As long as they appear, the firepower will cover it for a round.

Now there is a problem with the Raptor-equipped armor commissioned by the Rybach Kingdom.

Party A will naturally put forward various demands to Party B, ranging from colorful black to changing the main color of the APP according to the user's mobile phone case. It is universally recognized that the boss of Party A has a broad mind.

This time, the core requirements of the Rebach Kingdom for armor are "lighter, harder, and cheaper".

Sometimes the simpler the problem, the more difficult it is.

Now, the dwarves are dying.

The world has been in the midst of battle, and various war-related technologies have developed rapidly, but it has also reached a bottleneck stage.

It's not difficult to make armor lighter and harder than the previous armor, just pile it up with magic materials. But then, the cost goes up.

The previous travelers brought knowledge of chemistry. People in this world also have the concept of elements, and also know some knowledge of alloys.

However, not all metals are as easy to extract as gold, silver, copper and iron.

For example, manganese and tungsten, which can improve the strength of steel, require electrolysis technology for mass production of the former, while tungsten powder can be obtained through a series of physical and chemical reactions in the latter.

In this under-productive world, large-scale production of these two metals is extremely difficult and can only be produced on a small scale using methods similar to laboratory preparation. This makes them not much less expensive than those magic metals.

The dwarves, who could only work on ordinary steel materials, were at a loss, and even invited foreign aid to help.

It's just that Erbach, who I invited over the past few days, and Wolf, who had traveled by before, couldn't come up with any good solutions.

There is now a long table in the workshop not far from the gate, and there are several numbered steel plates on the table. A blackboard stands beside the table, and Bryant and Erbach occasionally discuss in technical terms while writing and drawing on the blackboard.

During the period, the students brought by Bryant and Erbach would occasionally ask a question or two, but they mostly listened.

Charles had a heated discussion while listening to the samples Bryant and Erbach made in the workshop.

After listening for more than an hour, Charles also heard some doorway from it.

Velociraptors are very powerful, and the armor prepared for them is generally 5 mm thick. In extreme cases, they can put on another layer of armor before the battle, but then they will only have one fight.

The armor used by the raptors in the Kingdom of Rebach is now made of tempered high carbon steel. If you want to increase the hardness, it will inevitably make the armor lose its toughness and become brittle.

Now the research direction of the two professionals is whether the use of alloy steel can improve the performance of the armor without greatly increasing the cost.

According to Erbach, their college seems to have discovered a method of smelting ferromanganese from pyrolusite and iron ore, and suggested that Bryant use ferromanganese to produce manganese steel.

Of course, Charles, who didn't know that the metal called "Magnes" mentioned by the two bosses was manganese, was at a loss in this passage. The names of many metals here are different from those in the previous life. Even if he knows how Harvey's armor is made, he doesn't know what to say about nickel, and what its physical and chemical properties are.

And he didn't want to reveal his identity as a transmigrator, he wanted to make a fortune behind him.

His grandfather is a linguist, and his family has no background in metallurgy and materials science. He can't pretend to be taught by his grandfather, a metallurgist expert, like Feng Mouchen in Qicheng Universe, or Lin Mouhua's excuse when he was in the army. Meet the old professor near the resident.

Pretending to Elizabeth? Just kidding, how could this kind of thing that can write papers can be hidden from her. Her identity was exposed, she had a 70% chance of killing herself, Halkara had a 20% chance, and the remaining 10% was divided equally between coriander and red leaves. The reasons for this will not be discussed in detail.

So Charles can't choose those highly professional knowledge to play the necessary pretending routines for traversers.

Now Charles wants to do things out of a playful mentality, and secondly, he wants to get on the line with this beautiful forging holy place, which requires him to come up with some that may not be useful, but can be seen by professionals. A bright thing.

And Charles' knowledge reserve doesn't have much armor, metallurgy, and material science, so he can only choose from other places for reference.

The body armor was first ruled out. First, he didn't know any materials that could achieve the Kevlar effect. Second, the weapons that the two worlds needed to face were different. The most important thing was that this method was not metal enough.

All kinds of alloy steel are also excluded. The knowledge of materials science is traceable. You can accidentally put the wrong ore to make stainless steel, but you can't come up with stainless steel out of thin air.

Harvey armor is also excluded. This thing is used to make armor for warships. The thickness of the thinnest Harvey armor made by the United States in the late World War II is also several centimeters.

The reason for the exclusion of composite armor is similar. At the current level, it cannot be made thin and light enough.

And finally, an armor that once made a name for itself in Charles' world...

"It seems that the idea of ​​this thing can be used for reference." Charles thought, "and the craftsmanship is mature enough. It seems that there is a misunderstanding in the thinking of the dwarves, and they did not think of this."

The discussion between the two bosses and the workshop technicians and worker masters has come to an end for the time being, and everyone is now entering the time for a tea break.

Bryant noticed Charles looking thoughtful, so he asked, "Charles, do you have any ideas?"

The people around them smiled and didn't speak. They, like Bryant, took this as a fun.

"The idea is a little bit." Charles said, imitating his grandfather's actions and tone.

Now Bryant and Erbach, two old friends of Grandpa Charles, are happy.

Erbach pointed to the blackboard beside him and said to Charles, "Then go and write down your thoughts."

"Okay then." Charles said cutely, "If I'm wrong, don't laugh at me."

Naturally, no one would laugh at an eight-year-old child in academic matters, and none of them had been in school more than Charles' age. And their schooling time combined is not as good as Halcala, who is elegantly drinking tea in front of the background board.

Charles walked to the blackboard, he first drew a ?, and then added a few strokes to form a three-dimensional diagram of a steel plate. Then he drew a net parallel to the steel plate under the steel plate. Then, under the net, two steel plates and a net are repeatedly drawn to form a structure of steel plate-net-steel-plate-net-steel plate. At the bottom, he drew a "?"-shaped cross-section.

At the end, he drew a lesson of small flowers on the side, and then focused on the soil under it and the roots in the soil.

After Charles finished painting, he turned his head and found that the expressions on the faces of the people at the long table were different from when they were relaxing with tea just now, and changed back to the way they were discussing issues just now.

"Tell me what you think," Bryant said to Charles, "don't worry, no one here will plagiarize your ideas."

Charles cleared his throat and pointed to the root system under the flower he painted: "Everyone knows that when we pull out weeds and other plants, their roots will come out with the surrounding soil. This is because these roots Because of the firm grasp of the soil~www.novelmt.com~ I heard from the two masters just now that if you make steel harder, they will become brittle due to reduced toughness, and when subjected to impact It will break down."

"At this time, I thought that if a high-toughness metal mesh similar to plant roots is added to the steel plate, these meshes can be closely combined with the steel plate to help the steel plate bear the force of cracking, so that the steel plate can take into account both the Hardness and toughness.”

Charles just thought of the legendary depleted uranium armor, which is made of depleted uranium alloy meshes embedded in steel to make armor blocks.

Then he thought of reinforced concrete. Concrete is hard but brittle, resistant to compression but not tension. If there is pressure on the beam made of pure concrete, the upper compression area of ​​the concrete beam will be fine, but the tension area at the bottom will produce cracks. Therefore, steel bars with higher toughness than concrete are added to the concrete, so that the steel bars can bear the tensile force under the concrete beam. Extending from beams to slabs is the reinforced concrete floor slab in common buildings. (Interested readers can look for "Mechanics of Materials" and "Structural Mechanics" to study)

In the eyes of Charles, the vertical armor should be chopped up and the horizontal reinforced concrete floor should be mechanically the same, so he proposed an armor deck structure similar to the reinforced concrete floor.

At the same time, Charles thought it was strange that concrete was used here, so the person who taught them to use concrete should also teach them to use steel. So why didn't the dwarves think of this method? Charles doesn't think he has the halo of wisdom, and there is probably something hidden in it.

"The hammer is on!" Bryant suddenly jumped up from the chair, and then yelled at the workshop owner, "Quickly ask the Pope to come here!"
