Chapter 243 Hundred Refined Steel Chain Armor
Zhang Shuye's speech was quite stern this time, saying that "Teng Yuanfang violated the orders of Shangguan Kaifeng Mausoleum". Of course, it would be said that Yuanfang was not suitable to be an official, and the next term was hard to say that he was idle and drinking tea.
Lao Zhang threatened to crack down on important members of the Cai Party, and Cai Jing could also correct Zhang Shuye, and could also find a remark. However, when the old fox Cai Jing saw the farce of Gao Fangping's orders, he knew that suppressing Fujimotofang was the emperor's intention. There was an anti-order incident before, and even Cai Jing would not offend the officials for this matter, so he could only bear the pain and accusation that Fujimotofang's resume "disobeying Shangguan's dispatch" was written in the archives of the Ministry of Personnel.
Since then, Cai Jing knew that Teng Yuanfang was abolished. Originally, he had experience in the Kaifeng Prefecture, but it was a complete act of gilding in the Song Dynasty. If nothing happened, Liang Zimei would return to the court. Fueng Yuanfang knew that he would serve as a Daming Mansion and then return to the Secretariat to take the important position. Now he can take a shower and go to bed. If something happens again, Gao Fangping will make great contributions again, resulting in Lao Teng being driven away. If Gao Fangping is the prefect of Kaifeng, basically everyone can take a shower and go to bed, and they will definitely be punished by the cruel official who harms the country and the people.
The situation is getting more and more complicated. Controlling the rise of pork Ping is probably Cai Jing's top priority at the moment. Unfortunately, the war between Lao Cai and Tong Guan's opinion has inevitably begun. Cai Jing's only hope is that Zong Ze is more courageous and just catch Tong Guan's eunuch. The only person who can bite Tong Guan and is strong enough is Zong Ze and Gao Fangping, but Gao Fangping is not qualified to know Jingzhao Mansion at present.
"Oh... the situation is wrong. The prime minister is harder than ever. I seem to be really old." Cai Jing sighed in the Government Affairs Hall...
It became a matter of course to open the forum again. Just leave it to Zhang Shangying to take care of it, and Gao Fangping doesn't need to continue to worry.
Having whetted the appetite of this period, who was really competing with Journey to the West when it was updated again? No one cared about the "Journey to the East" by Wang, Zhu Xie and others, and no one mentioned it anymore.
Because the update was on the forum, the popularity of the forum was pushed to an unprecedented level. In the imperial city, Gao Qiu's father or Zhang Shangying went to update it simultaneously as soon as possible. As for the children of the people, they would hear stories from various other channels only a few days later.
For Zhang Shangying, the forum is now very profitable. However, for Gao Fangping, it’s just the beginning, and this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket. It doesn’t matter how much money is made.
As a time traveler, Gao Fangping certainly knew where the value of a popular portal website with the right to speak in the future was. That little tea money and the money for admission tickets were not worth mentioning at all. To put it bluntly, the purpose of selling tea and admission tickets at high prices was to keep some poor people out of the door and not delay their work and production. By the way, some taxes and fees were generated to give Kaifeng Mansion some benefits.
As for the true value of the forum, it will slowly emerge in the future...
As a qualified Saint Seiya, you must have a set of holy clothes.
The craftsman team in the pig farm had a higher idea and began to build a hundred-refined steel chain mail very early on.
This thing is actually not difficult at all after having ideas and drawings, but it consumes extremely manpower and material resources and is very expensive.
Due to the technology and technology of this era, casting and wire drawing cannot provide fine steel at all and cannot support the strength of the chain mail. Therefore, the first set of chain mail was only a stupid method. The whole team devoted itself to it, and used manual forging to create tens of thousands of steel wire springs one by one. Then, they patiently crafted links by pure hand, and finally became the Bailiang stainless steel chain mail.
Given that it is the special saint garment of Xiao Gao, who is most afraid of death, the drawings and requirements sent by people in Yuncheng were sent repeatedly, and the craftsmen tried repeatedly, created, tested and modified. After eight versions of evolution, the entire team worked hard for nearly three months, and this was basically perfect and mature. Han Yi, the leader of the craftsman, came to Xiao Gao to report that the saint garment mail was finally available.
The shiny black mail was stacked on the table. Shi Wengong and Liang Hongying looked at it and they reached out and gently stroked it.
"Report to the master, the entire armor is made of 13,000 fine steel rings, and there is no problem in defending arrows and ordinary swords and guns. If it is two hundred steps away, it is not a problem to defend against the magic weapon of our Song army. It is also not a problem. The "spiral spring microstructure" provided by the master can relieve the force well. After many improvement attempts, the attack performance of the defense against heavy weapons such as the mace has been greatly improved. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to test it."
Han Yi said proudly.
Shi Wengong and others secretly praised him and still touched him with love.
After Han Yi's explanation, they understood why all the powerful steel wires that weaved the chain mail were built into a spiral shape one by one? When Shi Wengong pressed down with his hand force, he could sense these "rings" with good plasticity and elasticity, and had a slight contraction, which is the so-called force-release microstructure.
The stainless steel chain mail is a magical weapon to defend against swords, guns and arrows. The disadvantage is that when facing heavy weapons such as sledgehammers, their defense is not as good as plate armor. However, Gao Fangping has simpler ideas provided by mechanics, which has greatly compensated for the shortcomings in this area.
Of course, the ultimate defense of heavy equipment is still not comparable to that of the same grade of stainless steel plate armor, but the comprehensive performance of the chain mail is better, lighter, and more convenient to repair.
Compared with plate armor, they have their own characteristics, but compared with the best and most popular fish scale armor among the imperial guards, they win in all aspects, and there are too many excellent ones.
The more Shi Wengong looked at him, the more he loved him. He wanted to pick it up and wear it on his body. However, this was a small trumpet, which was worn by Gao Fangping, so Lao Shi couldn't just put it on.
Gao Fangping said with some regret: "It's a pity that he can't defend against the Divine Arm Crossbow. What's the situation when you were testing? Will the Divine Arm Crossbow be shot through?"
Han Yi said: "Sir, the hundreds of refining steel rings we have spent time to create, even the divine arm crossbow cannot break the armor at close range. On the contrary, it will directly destroy the divine arm crossbow arrow. However... We initially put a mail on the pig's body, and at a distance of hundreds of steps, we asked the guards of the Tiger Head Camp to attack with the divine arm crossbow. Although it was impossible to break the armor, the strong force would directly crush the pig's internal bones through the chain mail, and then press the internal organs to kill the pig. But if it extends to two hundred steps, the pig will be seriously injured but will not die."
Shi Wengong said in shock: "It's great. The power of the divine arm crossbow has already caught up with the young general's cloud-piercing arrow. It can prevent the armor from being broken and guard against the divine arm crossbow at 200 steps away. This is already a magical weapon."
Gao Fangping nodded, and for the time being, there was no perfect thing in the world. The Divine Arm Crossbow, which originated in the Western Xia and was eventually imitated and improved by the Song Dynasty, is really too powerful, and is simply a bug in this era. Therefore, it is not a disadvantage to be unable to defend against the Divine Arm Crossbow.
It is also very simple to defend against the divine arm crossbow. Just put a plate armor vest inside and a chain mail outside. But that one is too bulky and loses flexibility and maneuverability, and goes against the concept of fighting cavalry.
Of course, when there is enough resources in the future, you can consider equiping some such professional heavy infantry, and then holding a horse-resisting rifle to form a heavy defense line to defend against the impact of the elite cavalry.
But this is just one of the tactics, and in principle it is not about Gao Fangping's character.
In terms of Gao Fangping's vulgarity and dark heart, the best way to defend against the overwhelming cavalry cluster assault is not to foolishly carry the life of heavy infantry, but to form a heavy artillery position behind the heavy cavalry Yongle Army. It bombards the opponent with a wild bombardment, and the opponent's eyes are ripped apart, and the morale is greatly affected, the charge of Yongle's heavy cavalry can be blown toward him.
"The biggest advantage of this chain mail is that it is not picky about body shape, anyone can wear it. If even a war horse is wearing this chain mail, it would be despicable." Shi Wengong laughed.
"Yes, the development of chain mail is to make the war horse cloak. The survival rate of such heavy riders is greatly improved, but it does not affect mobility. It is lightweight, which is the characteristics and core of chain mail." Gao Fangping nodded.
Otherwise, the Song army actually had the idea of forming heavy cavalry. According to Mr. Gao Qiu, two hundred heavy cavalry were built, but the combination of fish scale armor and some plate armor was too heavy, and the horse was almost exhausted, which greatly hindered the horse's multiple muscle tissues from participating in coordination, and was almost in an embarrassing situation where it could not run. So it almost became a target for slow movement. So later, it simply didn't even need the horse, and continued to increase the armor and simplified it into heavy infantry. This is the origin of the Song Dynasty's arch armor.
The Inner Armor once became a powerful weapon for the Song army to resist nomadic cavalry for a while, but it was too bulky and had almost no motivation to speak of. Once the deployment was wrong, there was no chance of correction and it became a target. Therefore, the Inner Armor Armor eventually became one of the failed tactics. To analyze comprehensively, since there is no maneuver, it would be better to simply remain motionless. The fortress tactics combined with the bed crossbow god arm crossbow is the most effective. This is the origin of the transformation of the "fortress defense tactics" of the Zhong family.
"But my husband, it will take three months to build your set. If you have to equip my Yongle Army, I don't know what year or month you have to wait?" Shi Wengong said worriedly.
Han Yi, a craftsman, clasped his fists and said, "General Good Teaching History knows that the reason why it takes three months is because we were not familiar with the process at the beginning and took too many detours in the process. It is the R&D stage again, and we have to repeatedly verify and modify, adjust the ideas and craftsmanship, so yes, my husband also said that everything is difficult at the beginning. But now the test has been basically perfect and has been finalized. The craftsmen under my command are basically familiar with the key points of building steel wire rings. Although some craftsmanship is still unable to solve some of the processes and cannot directly pour qualified steel wire rings, I am completely sure to form a manual assembly line and use the current team of 300 people to produce a set of chain mail in two days."
