Chapter 333 Heavy armor is garbage, musket is king

This set of plate armor was designed and manufactured when Renault first arrived in Dingjun City. It used animal force and impulse pressure, and the power was less than a thousand stones, which required multiple stamping and molding. In addition to ordinary fine iron, a small amount of manganese was added to improve defense capabilities.

Although it is an experimental product two years ago, its defense ability is much stronger than the heavy armor of Dachu, because the materials are average, in order to increase defense, the materials are added a little more. This set of heavy armor, together with the horse armor, weighs 350 kilograms.

With such weight, except for a very small number of war horses and knights, ordinary heavy cavalry cannot be used. Because after adding manganese and polishing, it shines with a cold light and adds a layer of grease, which is much better than Da Chu's heavy armor.

However, this heavy armor, let alone Renault doesn't like it, even Cui Qing now only has a thought. This is the heavy armor that Mr. created first. As for practicality, let's forget it. With such heavy armor, even a horse can't run, and he can't fight a battle.

But this set of heavy armor attracted Cui Cheng. Just looking at the metal reflection, Cui Cheng knew that the defense of this set of armor was amazing.

"Lend me a knife." He turned around and said to the guard.

The guard looked at Cui Qing, and Cui Qing nodded. In his opinion, the defense of this set of plate armor was actually very average, and the materials were not good. The several materials produced in the laboratory are of the same thickness, and the defense is one and a half times higher than this set of plate armor, but it cannot stand this set of plate armor thick enough.

The knife used for guards is naturally made of new materials, and the only one that can be carried with you is light knife, which is used for self-defense.

After taking the guard's knife, Cui Cheng used all his strength and slashed it down with one knife. A crisp metal impact sound came. A white blade was cut out from the plate armor armor, about two millimeters into the armor. The knife rebounded to Lao Gao. The guard felt heartbroken. Are you so nervous, use a light knife to cut the heavy armor?

First, he touched the traces of the slashing on the touchpad armor. Cui Cheng was shocked and turned to look at the knife in his hand. The knife was black and could not tell what material it was made of. He tried his best, but the blade did not collapse. Not only did it not collapse, but there was no trace of the curling blade.

As a doctor in the workshop, he understood too much that the material of this knife was much better than that of plate armor, otherwise it would not have been possible.

"This knife?"

"Uncle, don't look at it. This set of plate armor number 21 is the first batch of designs by Mr. He and has long been eliminated. The knife used for the guards is made of the latest materials. The finished product number 978 is far from it." Cui Qing said proudly.

In addition to loyalty, Cui Qing was meticulous. Renault himself did not realize his achievements. Cui Qing carefully included all his designs, not only the finished product library, but also the database. It was not the task assigned by Renault, but the record he recorded.

"This knife..."

"Uncle, I can't explain to you that there are too many new materials and new designs in our Shengong Hall. This knife alone has more than a dozen technological innovations. I brought you here to see the style of the plate armor, not the quality. If you agree to produce this type of plate armor, I can tell you and the teacher, and draw two groups of experimenters and craftsmen to redesign you, including the entire production process." Cui Qing said.

Cui Qing is not all for his relatives. As a key official around Renault, he knows his husband's intentions very well. He has been busy over the years to make the invasion of the Austrians. The husband often complains that if there were no Austrians invasion, he would not have to work so hard, and would not have run to a ghost place like the forbidden area of ​​Death. Find an uninhabited island and eat seafood every day. How beautiful it is!

Helping Dachu develop new equipment is what Mr. Mr. is the one who is supposed to do, but the man has always looked down on Dachu's preparations and always feels that he can wait until the new materials are designed and formed before starting production.

As long as there are enough people, this is not what the teacher said about birds not shit. There are indeed not many birds here, but in the eyes of craftsmen, this is a treasure land.

The ore all over the ground, abundant hydraulic resources, and the various mechanical equipment of Mr. Wang, to create the equipment used by Da Chu, was really done in minutes.

If equipment like plate armor is sufficiently handy and produces thousands of sets of elephant games a day, as for heavy cavalry to use cavalry, is that still a problem? As long as the metal material is matched, there will be thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms in one furnace and flow directly into the mold. When the requirements are not high, remove the forging procedures and produce thousands of gun heads in one furnace.

Not to mention just casting the spear head of the cavalry, even if you want a full metal spear, it is not a problem. As long as the heavy cavalry can carry it and charge level.

Heavy cavalry not only have heavy armor, but also have also been light. The head of a ten-pound gun weighing one foot or eight inches long, and a two-meter-long hardwood gun rod must weigh 40 or fifty kilograms. Not to mention playing with a big gun, it can charge smoothly for a long time, and the requirements for the knights are not ordinary.

As for all-metal cavalry, only a few generals can use it. General Luo Yi uses all-metal cavalry, and he is just a light cavalry. But he is a peak warrior of ninth grade. The spear with hundreds of kilograms is like a straw stick, and ordinary heavy cavalry can't play with it.

Cui Cheng was shaken when he saw it. Not to mention the new plate armor, the set in front of him was enough to be jealous. Unfortunately, it was too heavy. Even if the workshop could be produced, heavy cavalry would not be used.

"Can you create a few sets of samples?" Cui Cheng asked licked his lips. He originally thought that it was impossible for him to convince his superiors, let alone the Ministry of War. He couldn't even pass the Ministry of Works, but after seeing the samples, it was different. This set of heavy armored armor was not to mention anything. As long as he was taken to the boss, he would be a big deal. As long as he was not blind, he would not be able to see how good it was?

"Uncle, you can create a few sets for you, but it is impossible to set the shape. You can only make it by hand. If you want to produce in large quantities, you need to open the mold first and set the production process." Cui Qing said.

If you want to produce fast enough, you must have detailed production processes and processes. Manufacturing tooling and metal processing are not that simple.

"Okay, let's have a few sets first. I'll find a way to convince my boss. By the way, I also need to ride a gun. If you have any good things, I want them all." Cui Cheng was very greedy. A set of heavy armor from the plate armor two years ago was enough to impress him.

"There are so many good things. Apart from the crossbows and not researching and producing, there are many other designs that cannot be included in the design library." Cui Qing said with a smile.

Renault encouraged craftsmen to develop. As long as they were caught in his eyes, they not only could improve their level, but also rewarded merits, but also had great rewards. At the beginning, they could also stimulate the craftsmen. After a long time, the craftsmen found that they followed the Shengong Temple, and there was a Nanzhang Rain Forest where birds could not shit all the way, and they had no place to spend money.

After camping here, the craftsmen found that their merits could not only be exchanged for money, improve their status, but also for meat. As a result, in less than three months, most craftsmen spent their rewards. They could not change meat. They had to try their best to get the reward and they had to eat meat!

Is it very exaggerated?

It is not an exaggeration to say that Renault’s logistics supply to the craftsman camp is very good, and eating meat every day is a must. Even during the days I walked in the rain forest, they never stopped their jerky meat. This is even more so when I got here.

As the airship troops continue to expand, even live cattle, sheep and pigs can be supplied every day, and there must be meat for every meal.

But what craftsmen don’t want this kind of meat. As long as they have eaten the ground monkey meat once, the meat of the triangular beasts can no longer satisfy them. However, the AAAAAA animal meat is very small, let alone craftsmen, even Jing Lan and Cui Qing’s level have few opportunities to eat.

It depends on luck. Every time I hunted this level of animal meat, except for Mr. Song Xian, four masters, and three of the Hu family, everyone needs to exchange for merit. The merit points of the Shengong Temple can only be obtained by rewards.

In the Nanzhang area, the meat of the prey killed cannot be stored for long, and it cannot even be overnight. If you want to eat this kind of meat, there is no second way to go except for meritorious deeds. The gentleman said that he would rather throw away the meat if it smells bad than give it to it in vain.

This is naturally Renault's stimulation therapy. In fact, this level of meat beast is not big and has a limited amount of meat. Even if there are not many people who need to be supplied, there is not enough food unless it is massacred in groups.

The design award is the highest among all kinds of awards. As long as you get recognized by the teacher, a good design award can eat ten good meat meals. Do you think the craftsmen will go crazy?

In addition to the very few design plans that have been recognized by the teacher, there are more than a few hundred times that have not been recognized. Among those designs, there are many designs, which are quite good in Cui Qing's opinion, but the teacher's vision is too high and he just looks down on it.

With Renault's accumulation of technology in the craftsman camp, now there are more and more craftsmen who are good at designing in the craftsman camp. The craftsmen are no longer the original craftsmen who are carrying small hammers and sledgehammers who make irons.

At least one-fifth of craftsmen have been promoted to the level of engineers that no one knows. More than three-fifths of people have been promoted to the level of technicians. Only a very small number of craftsmen who are not motivated are still just craftsmen.

Don’t joke about the iron with a small hammer. The ten thousand stone water press, the force of a single smash can be as good as your disciple to smash for a day. The effect is even better. The craftsmen in the Shengong Temple have transformed from strength to technical, and those who do physical work are the work of the cool camp.

"Why don't you produce crossbows?" Cui Cheng asked in confusion. Although the workshop where he is mainly engaged in producing heavy armor, crossbows are the most important long-range weapons, how can you give up?

Among the six A-level workshops of the Ministry of Works, there are two specialized in producing crossbows, and the proportion is quite high. You should know that heavy armor occupies two workshops, light armor, arrows, swords and weapons, and nearly 100 kinds of weapons, and only two A-level workshops are divided into two A-level workshops. This shows how high the status of crossbows in the military department is.

"Uncle, don't worry about this matter. I'll ask someone to try out a few samples for you. If it works, we will redesign it." Cui Qing said with a smile.

The gentleman said that heavy armor is garbage, and muskets are the king.
