Vol 2 Chapter 205: The principle of making armor

The next day, early in the morning, Liu Yu rushed to the blacksmith's shop after rushing to wash. He was amazed that as soon as the sky turned bright, there were handyman and hard work like ants, carrying burdens and going from camp From outside the forest, a load of cold spring water was transported back to a large vat in the blacksmith's shop. The furnace had not yet started to fire. These October cold spring waters passed through the blacksmith's shop. With a chill, Liu Yu, dressed in a single shirt, felt a breath of winter.
Kong Jing stood by the sledgehammer, standing under the guard of more than a dozen trilogy, standing at the door of the blacksmith's shop. When every servant carrying water was passing by, he would carefully check the water quality and touch the water temperature. They even tasted a bite or two, and then they waved with satisfaction, and the handymen who passed the acceptance were all relieved. After gratitude, they happily ran to the other side of the cafeteria to eat.
Liu Yu walked to Kong Jing's side and said in earnest: "Master Kong, please arrange my work for today."
Kong Jing smiled slightly, waved away, and sent away a small worker in front of him, said to Liu Yu: "Liu Liuzheng (Liu Yu added a temporary team official to the team yesterday), originally according to the rules, you want to be in Here we start with the basic things such as fetching water, transporting coal, and moving iron, but I remember that you have been the owner and a well-known hero in the whole army. These chores will not arrange you for now. Starting today, you Start armoring first. "
Liu Yu's heart moved. Last night, Mao Qiu and Feng Qian told him about armoring. He hooked his mouth and said, "Does Master Kong let me make leather armor or iron armor?"
Kong Jing turned his back on the leather armor piled like a hill outside and said, "We are a blacksmith shop here to build iron armor, and these leather armor are made in the leather clothing department of the yinying camp."
Liu Yuqi said: "So, leather armor is produced elsewhere? But since leather armor is produced elsewhere, why should it be shipped here?"
Kong Jing laughed: "Liu Zhengzheng, are you afraid that you haven't been on the battlefield, and you haven't crossed the real iron armor, or you don't pay attention if you wear it?"
Liu Yu's face turned slightly red. Since he joined the army, he hasn't really passed through the authentic armor. Even in the last martial arts show, the double armor he wore is also used for training. It is rusty, and the effect is not So good.
Liu Yu said, "Then just happened to learn from the Kong team today. Why did this leather armor move here? Do we need to use this armor when we make iron armor?"
Kong Jing nodded and waved. Feng Qian, who was standing on the side, immediately ran to get a piece of leather armor. Liu Yu fixed his eyes and saw that above this layer of leather armor, about a quarter of it, already At the beginning, the dense nail pieces were made up. These nail pieces were rectangular, about one finger wide and three fingers long. Each layer of nail pieces was thickly stacked together, next to each other, on a circle of leather armor, about the front. There are twenty to thirty pieces of such nails, and at this height, at least four or five hundred pieces of nails are needed to cover the entire front of the leather armor.
Liu Yu opened his eyes wide, touched the nails, wrapped these nails tightly around the ropes on the leather armor, and said, "Is the so-called iron armor the same kind of armor that is entangled? Add another layer of beetle? "
Kong Jingzheng said: "Yes, don't underestimate these nail pieces, this is made of stainless steel, not ordinary iron pieces. I don't believe you can take a look."
Liu Yu took off a piece of nail leaf, put it upside down, and touched it cold, and the nail piece looked like a rectangle, but after removing it, it was found that the nail surface was curved, and a small mountain bag bulged out It is similar to the arc, and its weight is not light. About half a two, Liu Yu estimated that this layer of hard leather armor weighs about five or six pounds, and four or five hundred such nails are placed on it. The weight may be There are more than thirty catties.
Liu Yu continued to for this piece of nails and kneaded it gently, and found that this piece of nails was not cast iron or wrought iron, but was very hard and not tough. It seemed to be what Kong Jing said, It is made of stainless steel. This is because pig iron cannot be forged into such an arc, and wrought iron deforms with a pinch.
Liu Yu nodded his head, handed the armor back to Kong Jing, and said, "Is this really a piece of stainless steel armor, is it the armor for the generals?"
Liu Yu once saw some generals wearing this armor in the handsome account. Liu Laozhi and Sun Wujun both passed through. This body armor is so expensive, and the curved armor is very protective. It is obviously not like For the creeps.
Kong Jing smiled slightly: "No, these armor are used to equip the Tiger Force, and every ordinary soldier of the Tiger Force will wear this armor."
Liu Yu opened his mouth in surprise, which surprised him more than the first time he heard from Liu Jingxuan about the formation of a tiger force: "What, let ordinary soldiers wear it? How is this possible ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Come so many armor? "
Kong Jing smiled slightly: "Now we have three thousand armor craftsmen. Usually an armor worker needs about three hundred days to build these 500 pieces of nails and make a pair of iron armor. However, in Here, I used the unique urging method of the Kong family, which can be completed in 150 days. In this way, each person can complete three pieces of iron armor a year, and 3,000 people can complete 9,000 pieces a year. "
"Tiger troops should concentrate the elite of the whole army, and the number will not exceed 5,000. By then, if Xuanshuai sends someone to help, within six months, it will be enough to build these armor. Liu Team Zheng, now you understand, what is a good soldier The pawns are equipped with armor. "
Liu Yu sighed: "If you say this, I understand that if a man made a pair of pure iron armor, it would take time and labor, and in case of error, it would be a waste of effort, but if you only make such small nails, you can fight one day. It ’s ten pieces and eight pieces. If you make it together, the speed will be much faster. And even if you make a mistake, it ’s just a small piece of armor that does n’t affect the entire armor. It ’s just a big deal. It ’s a good way to do it quickly. , Mass production of such armor. "
Mao Qiu on the side smiled and said, "Not only that, if these armor are attacked on the battlefield, they can be damaged, and they can be repaired. Just change the armor and replace the broken ones. Liu Zhengzheng, you see Are the holes in these nails used to wear ropes? In fact, this kind of armor only needs a strong rope to string together 20 to 30 nails and fix it on the leather armor. Layer upon layer, it is a pair of armor, which is far away from the arrow and close to the knife to cut the spear, the effect is quite good! "
Liu Yu laughed: "Okay, that's great, Master Kong, how should we make this plate?"
