Chapter 17 The Requirements for "Lord Armed" (Part 1)

Zhao Wu was thinking: It seems that I have a car rear cover and a roof with a complete iron piece - I remember that an achievement exhibition once said that the shell of the first Jiefang car was knocked out with a hammer. Since the hammer can knock out the shell of the car, can the shell of the car be knocked out with a pair of plate-type iron armor...

Well, I have a hammer, scissors, and files. Cut out a rough shape, tap it with a hammer, and then repair it with a file... I am a person from a city. If a person from a city cannot knock out a plate armor for me, I, as a lord, is too failure.

Zhao Wu figured it out and asked immediately: "How long is the golden wire (copper wire) you pulled out?"

The craftsman compared the measurements, and Zhao Wu estimated that the length of his meter was only over twenty centimeters. The craftsman saw that Zhao Wu was a little disappointed and immediately said, "Master, it doesn't take much gold wire to connect a few pieces of armor. It's enough to be so long."

Zhao Wu nodded: "Come tonight, I will tell you a better way to draw wires."

The craftsman looked clear, excited and mysterious: "Lord, I promise to come quietly tonight-I will not say anyone, nor will I say anything to death."

In my heart, the craftsman shouted: "It's great. The more mysterious it is, the more sacred it is. I'll just say, how can the people who make the "Hundred Artifacts Book" not have two or three magic tricks? It's so wonderful. We also need to learn the magic trick."

The others present also looked mysterious, but they tried their best to hide it. Qi Ce lowered his head and flipped over the map. It seemed that flowers suddenly bloomed on the map. Shi Yan looked up at the roof. Shi Xiu closed his eyes and lowered his head, his beard shook frequently, and Dong Guoli looked admiring and nodded frequently.

Zhao Wu shouted again: "Call the carpenter."

The goldsmith ran out excitedly, and the wood craftsman rushed in with anticipation. Zhao Wu asked again: "Have you ever made a chariot?"

The carpenter replied: "Do it!"

Zhao Wu said slowly with a thoughtful look: "I need a chariot that looks like a strange shape. Well, it has no wheels, four legs, and four pillars, and one less wing than the chariot... Alas, it's more troublesome to describe it, I'll draw it for you."

After Zhao Wu finished painting, the carpenter was stunned: "Master, this thing has no wheels, what is it for?"

Zhao Wu sighed: "You know, I'm about to get married, right... It's winter is coming, and it's very inconvenient to sleep on the ground. I built this chariot that I can't walk, and I'm going to name it "Bed" - lying on the ground in the middle of winter, it's wet and cold, and it's still comfortable to sleep on the bed."

Shi Yan shook his body. Before he could say it, Qi Ce couldn't help it. He roared: "Master, we need to dispatch at least twenty chariots - twenty!"

According to the Zhou Li, the brigade consists of five soldiers, namely 20 chariots and 500 soldiers; the division consists of the fifth brigade, namely 100 chariots and 2,500 soldiers; the army consists of five soldiers, namely 500 chariots and 12,500 soldiers.

However, this was the military system in the early Spring and Autumn Period. By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the scale of war became larger and larger, and the number of troops needed to be used by a major country had to increase. However, the etiquette system stipulated that "the emperor had six armies". As long as other princes had more than three armies, even if they violated the etiquette system... So various workarounds were produced. For example, the State of Jin added three lines to the upper, middle and lower armies, which was called "upper, middle and lower armies" - thus the "Zhongxing clan" was born.

The pretended "three lines" made Jin reach six armies, but in the end, under the pressure of the princes, Jin abolished the three lines. Then, Jin quietly doubled the army's organization and then doubled again. Now, a brigade of Jin State still had five soldiers and twenty chariots, but the total number of soldiers reached 1,500, three times the original one; while a division reached 7,500.

Han Jue asked Zhao Wu to organize at least one brigade of private soldiers, that is, Zhao Wu had to make at least twenty chariots, 1,500 weapons and armor... Now he did not consider the issue of the chariot and wanted to convert the chariot into a place to sleep, which... made Qi Ce feel furious.

Zhao Wu waved his hand, turned his head and asked the carpenter: "How long does it take?"

The carpenter replied: "About one quarter!"

Zhao Wu pointed at his sketch casually: "How could it be? Look at these four pillars, from the bottom to the top, you can find someone to make these four pillars. The same length of pillars, and the same part is tied with eyes. Isn't it simple?

There are three 'long horizontal bars' around this bed, and you can also find someone to make it; in terms of width, two short horizontal bars can be organized to make a special group of people. Look, there is a long horizontal bar and a group of people. Different horizontal bars are a special group of people, and then there are horizontal and vertical support... There is no need to worry about the bed board. We are planning to divide the log into pieces of wood for sale, so you don't have to worry about making the bed board... In this way, if there are enough people, how long will it take to make a bed?"

The carpenter smiled: "A master, I will take two eyes to make mortise and tenon on a few pieces of wood. Isn't that half a day?"

Zhao Wu smiled: "So, how long will it take to assemble these parts?"

The master nodded: "A day is enough."

Zhao Wu immediately pointed at the bed and continued, "The principle of making a chariot is the same as this one, but there is a crossbar on the side of the bed, and the chariot has an axle and two pairs of wheels. Yes, axle, my chariot needs to be equipped with an axle, so that the weight of the chariot can be shared on the axle.

In addition, it is best to make this wheel that can be disassembled, such as spokes, which are made by specialists. The outer ring part of the car is a circle that is troublesome to make. Can we divide it into four parts, such as... in this way, divide it into four arc wooden strips with edges into ladder-shaped edges. These four wooden strips are exactly the same shape, but they are spliced ​​together to form a complete circle...

What? You are afraid that the splicing of this kind of roundness will not be strong. No problem. Let's add another layer of iron ring base liner. The iron ring should not be very thick. We need to reduce the weight of the car. Let's put the eyes on the iron ring wall. Will it be stronger than pure wooden wheels if you rivet the wooden strips on the iron ring?"

The carpenter thought for a while and looked at Zhao Wu admirably. Zhao Wu didn't wait for him to speak, and immediately asked again: "Have you ever made a wheeled car?"

The carpenter shook his head: "One wheel, how can you let the car go?"

Zhao Wu immediately inspires: "Zhao is all in mountainous areas, and people can only carry sports goods on their shoulders and hands. If there is a kind of wheelbarrow... have you pushed the car? If we put the wheels in the middle of the car..."

Zhao Wu casually drew on the sand table and drew an ugly chicken bus appearance.
