Ye Chunqiu's heart is very big. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It is precisely because of the big heart that the new army is temporarily limited to the size of 100 people.

This is a process from scratch, and the reason why he chose to train in accordance with the wishes of the Son of Heaven was not because Ye Chunqiu was so happy, nor was it because he dreamed of making meritorious contributions.

The fundamental reason is that he needs a platform, and this platform can only be given by the Zhenguo government.

It's a question of two lifetimes, two lifetimes.

The new army needs combat strength, and it must first boil up its body, what do you need to support? Of course, it is the most adequate supply, and it is precisely because everything needs money that the new army must have a system sufficient to ensure supplies, which is the so-called money-making tool, and the new army has been trained, how can it exert greater combat power? This is the problem of equipment, and if we want to keep improving and give the new army the best system support, then we must start with metallurgy and forging.

In other words, the strength of the new army of Zhenguo is based on the system, why did many military horses that swept the world in history finally annihilate in the long river of history? This is because when the world is in turmoil, or when there is a demand, they are naturally created by those in power, but once the world is peaceful, these people will naturally become a burden, so the politicians wave their pens, put swords and guns into the warehouse, and put the horses in Nanshan, and these famous iron armies will be erased forever, leaving no trace.

Ye Chunqiu didn't want what he had created was just the Qi family army and the Yue family army, what he wanted to create was a military group with big roots and deep roots, the Zhenguo New Army was just the appearance, behind the Zhenguo New Army was the crystal workshop, the appearance of the crystal led to a large number of people began to supply it with sand and gravel, you see, the original stone that was not worth a penny, I didn't think that it could actually make money, naturally, some people are willing to go to the mountains to quarry, these people, to some extent, are the vassals of the crystal workshop; The crystal workshop is a vassal of the new army, the new army needs equipment, then it needs a special iron-making and steel-making workshop, it needs to mine more ores, Ye Chunqiu wants to make alloys, it needs more metal elements, so in this system, it begins to accommodate new things, from upstream metallurgical forging, to downstream transportation and mining, everyone who is included in this system may be a big man behind some tables, or it may be the most ordinary craftsman, porter, and coolie who excavates ore.

The strength of the new army is strong, behind the need for this system to grow a point, the need for more workshops, and more workshops means profitable, naturally there will be some merchants included, in the Ming Dynasty, merchants have always been just puppets on the table, behind them, there are layers of meticulous and complex relationship network.

And what are the aspirations of these people? Naturally, it is hoped that the new army will become stronger, and that the new army will create more demand, and when any politician wants to abolish the new army, it will mean that many people in this system will suffer heavy losses, affecting the livelihoods of tens of millions of people and countless people behind the scenes.

Of course...... Now it's just an idea, in Ye Chunqiu's Zhenguo Mansion structure, smelting is only one of the links, and now the Zhenguo New Army has won a big victory over the warrior camp, and its prestige is rising, and it needs to strike while the iron is hot.

Sun Qi now regarded this nephew as the first to look forward, he said: "The furnace has been built, and the furnace has been raised to test the fire, I took a piece of 'heavy stone' to melt it according to the instructions of the Spring and Autumn Period, but it still did not melt, but added black stone to it, and it melted." ”

The so-called heavy stone, is the name of the ancients, in fact, it is the tungsten gold of later generations, the melting point of tungsten gold is extremely high, up to 2,700 degrees to melt, Ye Chunqiu found some such ores, which is used to test the temperature of the furnace.

Two thousand seven hundred degrees, which is equivalent to astronomical numbers for this era.

Ye Chunqiu just wanted to give it a try.

On the contrary, Sun Qi said that the black stone was melted, which made Ye Chunqiu interested, among the content of black stone, the most is Perkin, and the melting point of Perkin is about 700 degrees Celsius, which means that the newly built high-temperature furnace is far higher than the high-temperature furnace of the crystal workshop, and even much higher.

The world's metals, except for a very few metals with high melting points such as tungsten gold, the vast majority of melting points are below 1,700 degrees, which means that Ye Chunqiu's metallurgy will have great development, to a certain extent, his alloy steel forging can still be expected.

It's just that Ye Chunqiu hopes that one day tungsten steel can be smelted, and the steel forged from this precious metal is particularly hard, but it is obviously unrealistic at the moment, and the challenge of 2,700 degrees is not something that can be completed overnight.

Ye Chunqiu said: "These days, I don't hesitate to spend a lot of money to recruit more steelmakers, let them try to open the furnace, try their hands first, huh...... I need to figure something out and go back to my uncle then. ”

After bidding farewell to Sun Qi, Ye Chunqiu locked himself in the tent and began to concentrate on the issue of equipment.

On the contrary, it is a matter of drilling, there is no need for him to bother, now the morale of the new army is like a rainbow, everyone realizes that what they have learned is a real skill, coupled with Wang Shouren's supervision, there is no need for Ye Chunqiu to keep an eye on it all the time.

He spread out the paper, starting with alloy steel, there are many types of alloy steel, with different characteristics, adding different metals to steel, the effect is different, and secondly, there is the design of weapons, firearms...... Ye Chunqiu didn't try it for the time being, not because he didn't dare to try anything, but because there was too much preparation work required, there was no need for the current new army to be equipped, and then make plans when the scale expanded in the future.

The design of the armor, in fact, has many schemes, and they are all ready-made information in the light brain, including chain mail, plate armor, piercing armor, scale armor, chain mail, etc., and the defense of the plate armor is obviously the strongest, mature plate armor appeared in Europe a hundred years later, and now Europe has also appeared in the prototype of plate armor, but because of the backwardness of the manufacturing process, most of the plate armor is shoddy, and the actual use is not much, that is to say, the mature plate armor, almost before the large-scale and mature use of the musket, It can almost ignore the vast majority of swords and bows and arrows, and this super defense is far from being comparable to scale armor, chain mail, and chain mail.

However, the problem with plate armor is that it requires a high forging process, and if it cannot be formed in one piece, the defense will be weakened a lot, and there is a huge disadvantage that it is equivalent to an iron can in the late Middle Ages, although the defense is amazing, it is not light.
