Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

"The sword is three feet long, the blade is like a mirror, and the air is strong. The blade is as thin as a cicada's wing. There is a bit of cold light in the middle, as if it is constantly flowing. This sword will rise in the clouds, and the Jedi, a good sword! Really one A good sword! It's just that the weight of the sword is more than 40 kilograms! How can this be possible? No! This sword is definitely not made of ordinary iron in the world, is it the mysterious iron outside the sky?"

Qiquge Workshop, in Li Zexuan's office.

Zhang Hongsheng held Li Zexuan's wind-chase sword tightly, as if he was admiring a peerless beauty, and greedily cast his eyes on the smooth and cold sword body like a mirror. The more he looked, his heart The more excited he got, in the end, he looked up at Li Zexuan with an incredible expression, and asked with a trembling voice.

This sword, its sharpness and sophistication, has surpassed the Crow Nine Sword that his father spent his entire life working on. How can this not shock him?

It's just that the moment he raised his head, the hair scattered in front of him was accidentally thrown on the blade. Everyone saw that the hair was cut off easily when it hit the blade, and then fell to the ground lightly!

Blowing and breaking hair, terrifying!

This is the real haircutting!

Fubo, Wang Ji, Zhang Hongsheng, Song Xiaosi and others couldn't help taking a sigh of relief at this moment. They saw this sharp and sharp soldier, which only exists in ancient legends!

At this time, Li Zexuan smiled to Zhang Hongsheng and said, "Brother Zhang, you guessed it, this sword is indeed not made of mortal iron in the world, it uses mysterious iron from the outer world!"

"Gudong!"

Zhang Hongsheng swallowed fiercely. At this time, he had completely let go of the arrogance of the sword-making family in his heart, because the sword in Li Zexuan's hand was more powerful than all the swords he had seen. What capital does he have? Go arrogant? So, he handed the Wind-Chasing Sword to Li Zexuan with a sincere expression, saying:

"How can such a peerless sword be unnamed? I beg Hou Ye to tell which famous sword it is? Which famous swordsmith made it~?"

Li Zexuan replied in a deep voice, "This sword, called the Sword of Wind, was accidentally obtained by a master from a generation who traveled the world during my master's life. As for which famous master cast it, this lord is unknown!"

"Wind-Chasing Sword? A good name! Unfortunately, I don't know who came from it!"

Zhang Hongsheng murmured, then he hesitated, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Master Hou, Zhang has an unsympathetic request. I hope Master Hou will be pleased!"

Li Zexuan took a deep look at Zhang Hongsheng. Those eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts. He smiled slightly and said, "You want to take this sword back and show it to your father, right?"

Zhang Hongsheng was taken aback, and then a little embarrassed: "Yes, Lord Hou! My father has been pursuing the ultimate sword-making method all his life. This sword of wind chasing, whether it is material or craftsmanship, is the only peerless one in Zhang's life. Good sword, my father will be delighted when he sees it. His old man is very old. As a son, what I can do is to make him more happy and happier during his lifetime and leave less regret!"

"Senior Zhang's pursuit of the highest kendo in his life is indeed admirable, but this sword of chasing wind is a legacy of my master during his lifetime. How can I easily lend it?"

Li Zexuan sighed softly, and then the conversation turned, Zhang Hongsheng's complexion suddenly darkened, his heart was thinking too much, who would be willing to lend this peerless sword easily? What's more, this sword of chasing the wind is still a legacy of Master Li Zexuan during his lifetime, which is of extraordinary significance.

But at this time, Li Zexuan said again: "However, for the sake of your filial piety, this sword can’t be loaned to you, but you need to promise to help me build a new-style armor. After agreeing, I immediately lend the sword to You, and allow you three days of loan time!"

Zhang Hongsheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Master Hou! I promise! I promise! Don't talk about one set of armor, even if you ask me to build one hundred or one thousand sets of armor, I am willing!"

Li Zexuan said a little bit amused: "Brother Zhang, I didn't say what kind of armor he wanted you to build, so you agreed so simply?"

Zhang Hongsheng said confidently: "Master Hou, it's not that Zhang is boasting. The various armors of the past dynasties, such as rattan armor, profound armor, tube sleeve armor, two crotch armor, light armor, thin scale armor, mountain armor, Mingguang armor, etc., Zhang will make it, uh, Lord Hou, please tell me what kind of new armor you want to make, right?"

It was Zhang Hongsheng who was bragging and bragging, and suddenly remembered the embarrassment that he had just taken the sword and almost fell somersault. He felt that he couldn't talk so full in front of Li Zexuan, otherwise he would easily fall into trouble. After all, he was the one who suffered a loss!

Everyone listened to Zhang Hongsheng's preface and not followed, and he was obviously guilty at critical times. They couldn't help but want to laugh. The main reason is that this product is too real, right?

Li Zexuan did not smile. He turned around and picked up a stack of drawings on the desk, and then took out four of them, then motioned everyone to come to him, he spread the drawings and said, "Brother Zhang, the armor that Benhou asked you to build, It's called a plate armor. The so-called plate armor is not just an iron plate. It must be light, move flexibly at the joints, and cover the whole body! Here, this is the blueprint!"

Among the many drawings he drew in the office this morning, some of them were painting armor!

Everyone looked at the blueprint, their eyes widened one by one, Zhang Hongsheng couldn't help but exclaimed:

"This plate armor actually covers the whole body? Although the defensive part is indeed more comprehensive than the light armor, if the whole body is defended by armor, how heavy is this set of plate armor? If the soldier wears it, how Still walking? Let alone fighting!"

Li Zexuan explained to the side at this time: "Hehe, how heavy this set of plate armor is. We will talk about it later. I will first explain to you the structure of this plate armor. This set of plate armor consists of a helmet, a strong armor, a breastplate, and a back. It consists of armour, shoulder armour, wrist armour, elbow armour, leg armour, grebe armour and steel shoes. The joints are made of multiple layers of movable steel sheets, which can ensure that the soldiers will not be hindered in the war.

The shoulder armor does not use steel sheets and maintains a hollow structure, so that the limbs have more space for movement. The joint part of the trunk and other parts is lined with deerskin or linen, and interlocking locks are used. The armor is protected on the inside so that the weight of the entire armor is borne by the whole body and it is comfortable to wear.

The breastplate of this type of plate armor is made up of three pieces spliced ​​together, and the middle piece is narrower and serves as a connection. This structure also gives the breastplate a certain degree of mobility, making the wearer's movements more flexible.

Of course, the biggest feature of this set of plate armor lies in the use of the neck armor. A simple helmet cannot protect the parts below the mouth, but this set of plate armor uses a large neck guard with a jaw guard to achieve complete protection of the face. For insurance purposes, this set of plate armor is also used The armpits are used to protect the armpits.

In addition, the surface of the plate armor is designed with ribs to enhance the protective effect and reduce weight. In this way, all parts of the human body are located within the steel armor. On the battlefield, it is completely invulnerable to swords and guns, and fearless in the rain! "

In fact, the plate armor that Li Zexuan was going to make was called Gothic plate armor. In his previous life, he was not only an engineering dog, but also a military fan. He had seen many armor dismantling drawings of various countries in the ancient world on the Internet.

The plate armor is known as the king of armor. It is also a symbol of medieval knights and the ultimate defense of the cold weapon era. In the Hundred Years War between Britain and France, there was no record of a bow and arrow effectively penetrating the plate armor breastplate! When the firearm appeared later, it was so powerful that it could even withstand the damage of ordinary matchlock guns!

From the 14th century to the 15th century, the progress in the structure and shape of the armor was very obvious. The most famous plate armor in the history of the world, the Gothic and Milanese plate armor, began to appear at this time: because the former was from Milan Began to be popular, and the latter was greatly influenced by the Gothic art style, so these two armor styles are called Milanese and Gothic.

However, both Milanese and Gothic armor originated in Italy, but the Germans developed Gothic to the highest level, leading many people to mistakenly believe that Gothic originated in Germany.

Among all the plate armors, roughly divided, these two are the most popular. There are other styles, but they are basically imitating these two; the Milanese style is characterized by rounded lines, close-fitting, beautiful, and styling. Beautiful; Gothic is simple, full of functional beauty, multiple edges and corners, and good sportiness.

"Excellent workmanship! It is indeed a great workmanship! With these designs, it is indeed possible to achieve full body protection without affecting the movement of the body's joints! But how much is the total weight of this set of plate armor? Can soldiers bear it?"

Zhang Hongsheng couldn't help but exclaimed.

The Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as the armor with the highest technological content and the highest defense in the Tang Dynasty. However, compared with the whole body plate armor designed by Li Zexuan, it is completely insignificant, but the only thing that makes Zhang Hongsheng doubtful is this. The weight of the whole body plate armor!

The rest of the people also cast their doubts at Li Zexuan. Obviously everyone agrees that the defensive power of the plate armor far exceeds that of the light armor. The only doubt left is weight!

Li Zexuan smiled slightly, and said, "Haha! You don't have to worry about the weight. This kind of plate armor is the ultimate, and the weight of a set will never exceed forty catties, and the weight of a set of bright light armor should be five. Ten catties up and down, right? Under the same defense level, the plate armor is definitely lighter than the Mingguang armor!"

This Li Zexuan is not bragging. In modern times, when it comes to plate armor, people's first reaction is cumbersome and inflexible. In fact, this is all people’s misunderstanding of plate armor. In fact, plate armor is not only flexible, but also light. , The weight of a set of Gothic plate armor will not exceed 25 kilograms (a catty in the Tang Dynasty is approximately equal to more than 600 grams in modern times, so 25 kilograms is about forty catties in the Tang Dynasty), The weight of a set of Mingguang armor is about 30 kilograms!

A soldier wearing Gothic plate armor can even make a variety of difficult movements, a group of flexible! Moreover, the gaps between the armor pieces of the plate armor made by the skilled armor masters, even a piece of paper can not be inserted, and the defense is simply not too good!

It's like a beggar version of Iron Man!

And such Iron Man Li Zexuan wants to make five thousand!

"How is this possible? This set of armor is definitely more than forty catties!"

Zhang Hongsheng shook his head fiercely, with a look of disbelief.

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Brother Zhang is afraid of misunderstanding. My plate armor is not going to be cast. I will use forging to polish the plate armor to about this thickness!"

While speaking, Li Zexuan made a hand gesture to a thickness of about five millimeters.

Forged iron armor is not only thinner, but also stronger than cast iron armor. This is an indisputable fact!

"Forging? Such a thin thickness? Even the thickness should be guaranteed?"

Zhang Hongsheng was a little embarrassed: "Master Hou, according to your requirements, it is not impossible to do it, but it is extremely time-consuming and laborious to make one or two pieces. Zhang can barely do it, but once the quantity is too large, Zhang It's really powerless!"

At this time, Zhang Hongsheng was very grateful that he had taken it back in time when he had just urged him, otherwise he would have to lose another person now! At the same time, he secretly said that in the future, he must not brag in front of Li Zexuan, because Li Zexuan is poisonous, as long as he brags in front of him, he will be instantly slapped in the face!

Li Zexuan smiled again: "Brother Zhang, you have misunderstood again~www.readwn.com~ The forging mentioned by Benhou is not forging with a sledgehammer artificially as you imagined, but with a constant force and constant force. The high-speed stamping machine forging can ensure the smooth surface and uniform thickness of the forged object!"

"Stamping machine tools? There is still such an artifact in the world? Why does Zhang do not know?"

Zhang Hongsheng said excitedly.

According to Li Zexuan's statement, then the punching machine is completely an artifact in the minds of blacksmiths! After all, after I have this thing, I don’t have to hit the iron with a hammer~!

Li Zexuan said: "This punching machine is driven by water power, so it can also be called a hydraulic punching machine, but the machine has not yet started to be built. After it is completed, it will definitely have this effect! Xiao Si, you go to Mr. Mo Please come over with Girl Mo and say I have something to look for them!"

"Yes! Master!"

Song Xiaosi took the order and left.

Fu Bo asked at this time: "Master, you invite Mr. Mo and the others to come over, do you want to do the kind of hydraulic press machine you just mentioned?"

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Yes, no, I can only say that it is not all! The hydraulic press machine is only a small part of the work. We already have a waterwheel under the Bahe Dam. This can be directly used for our machine tools. To provide power, just connect some transmission mechanisms on it! However, in addition to hydraulic stamping machine tools, I also plan to do some other things, and I will talk about them when they come!"

The reason why Europe was able to manufacture full-body plate armor in the Middle Ages relied on hydraulic stamping equipment! Li Zexuan wanted to do this last year, but at that time he didn't have a dam, so he couldn't build a hydraulic press machine. Now that the dam and hydropower station are all built, he can finally show his strength!
