Great Power Ship

Chapter 68

"of course……"

As soon as the cost was mentioned, Liu Chengzhi became energetic, not to mention that Tang Jianshe made this knife himself. There is no way, Wen Dawei may be a king in theory, but in practice it is a bronze; as for Tang Jianming, he is even worse. So, the actual manufacturing of the knife was done by Liu Chengzhi.

So he is quite qualified to say this.

As for the content, there is no exaggeration. Damascus knives have been the Hermès of knives since ancient times. They are complex knives that need to be smelted with multi-layer alloy steel, and then forged and quenched before they are finally formed.

Not to mention anything else, the initial multi-layer steel smelting is not something ordinary people can complete. The texture of the steel, the number of layers, and the temperature of the melting furnace must be just right, so that more than ten layers, or even dozens of layers , Hundreds of layers of steel plates are fused together.

Tang Jianshe's knife used 64 layers of steel plates, and it took four times of melting to get a qualified steel billet.

The cost of this item alone is almost a thousand dollars.

After all, the hourly gas consumption of the smelting furnace in the heat treatment workshop is astonishing, coupled with all imported alloy steel, it is hard to think that the cost is not high.

Of course, Liu Chengzhi would never say that the steel used for this knife is leftover scraps, and the melting furnace was rubbed during normal work intervals, so it wouldn't fit on the table at all.

You know, during this period of time he followed Wen Dawei and didn't learn anything else, but he learned a lot about pretending to be an X. No matter what it is, just blow it up, pretend it's dead, and it's over, and people will eat it This set.

If you tell people honestly what your stuff is like, they will despise you instead.

It can be said that Liu Chengzhi has grasped the essence of sales in the seller's market, and Jiang Xudong was immediately stunned. He knew that this kind of knife was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive, and the imported alloy steel was actually used. , The cost of materials alone is several hundred.

But think about it, if it is not imported alloy steel, how can this knife have such a good quality?
But in this way... I can't say what I want to say next. As the saying goes, a penny stumps a hero, especially the newly rebuilt Marine Corps. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as poor and white.

If he dared to tell his superiors to spend thousands of dollars to buy a knife, the superiors would tear him alive. You must know that many units of the Marine Corps at this time are not fully equipped. Let’s take the air defense companies of each battalion as an example. Now there is no complete portable anti-aircraft missile, and soldiers can only use wooden sticks of the same size to make simple teaching aids for training.

So much so that these air defense companies are jokingly called stick companies.

There are many similar situations. For example, the amphibious tank battalion does not have real amphibious armored vehicles; the amphibious reconnaissance company does not have suitable assault boats; and the frogman reconnaissance brigade that Jiang Xudong participated in has only three pieces of diving equipment available.

Under such circumstances, a multi-purpose saber is not a thing that matters at all.

Therefore, facing the high cost of the good knife in his hand, Jiang Xudong could only sigh in his heart, knowing that he was being self-indulgent again this time.

Just at this time, Tang Jianshe behind him said very shamelessly: "Give me the knife!"

Jiang Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then reluctantly handed it to Tang Jianshe behind him. Tang Jianshe didn't care about that, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the heavily patterned blade, and put it away carefully.

Wen Dawei naturally saw this scene clearly, and after Liu Chengzhi finished speaking, he tore off a piece of fish and handed it to Jiang Xudong: "Actually, what Lao Liu said is not entirely true. The processing technology of the knife is there. Materials, molds, and forging must be made separately, so the cost is naturally a bit higher, but if it is mass-produced, it will be much lower..."

"Oh~~~"

Jiang Xudong nodded, expressing his understanding, but he didn't continue to answer Wen Dawei's words. How could he answer? Could it be that I want 48 sticks?
There is no difference with tailor-made!
So he quickly changed the subject: "Let's put aside the knife thing first..." Then he pointed to Tang Jianshe who was grilling fish: "Are you relatives of this little comrade? That's right, I think this little comrade The conditions in all aspects are very good, and I want to recruit him into the Marine Corps..."

Jiang Xudong is also very eloquent, and quickly explained the general situation. He came to Double Star City this time mainly to recruit soldiers. After all, the Marine Corps has been rebuilt for several years. Veterans have retired one after another, and they need fresh blood, especially for amphibious reconnaissance. Therefore, the Marine Corps hopes to dig out some good seedlings from the local area and focus on cultivating them so that they can become the backbone force that truly meets the needs of amphibious operations.

Jiang Xudong came to Double Star City this time hoping to find such good seedlings among the young people of the right age. After a few days, he did find a few good ones. He wanted to go back like this. Before he left, he wanted to relax and swim down the Jialing River .

As a result, he met Tang Jianshe who was fishing in the river. Jiang Xudong saw Tang Jianshe's figure like a swimming dragon in the water, and felt that Tang Jianshe would be wasting his ability to be a frog if he didn't go with him as a frogman.

Without further ado, Tang Jianshe sent an invitation to Tang Jianshe. Tang Jianshe didn't know what the Marine Corps was. He only remembered that Wen Dawei often said that being courteous for nothing was either rape or robbery, so he ignored Jiang Xudong.

Jiang Xudong could only chase after Tang Jianshe and continue chattering, but Tang Jianshe threw him away with a single strike.

When Jiang Xudong saw this, he loved talent even more, so he simply compared with Tang Jianshe. Needless to say, Tang Jianshe beat Jiang Xudong completely, and this also made Jiang Xudong want to drag Tang Jianshe into the frogman investigation team even more. .

There is no way, a natural frogman seedling like Tang Jianshe is too rare, if you don't get it back, you will be sorry for the shiny big characters of the Marine Corps.

This has the previous scene.

It’s just that I didn’t expect that after coming here, I saw Tang Jianshe’s fish-killing knife. You must know that the frogman reconnaissance team at this time did not have a special diving knife at all, so they could only temporarily replace it with a 64-style dagger. The problem is whether the 64-style dagger is adaptable. Whether it is practical or practical, it is far from the actual needs of the frogman reconnaissance brigade.

That's why Jiang Xudong couldn't put it down so much when he saw the fish-killing knife.

After all, he is a familiar person, once the chatterbox opened, Jiang Xudong couldn't hold it back, so he simply talked about the knife...

"That's it. Our demand is low and our requirements are high. Those manufacturers who produce knives are not willing to accept them, and the prices of good knives on the market are expensive, let alone imported ones, which are even more expensive..."

Jiang Xudong said, with a bright smile on his dark face: "However, these are temporary. After all, the conditions were more difficult when we reorganized. It has improved a lot now, and it is estimated that it will continue to improve in the future, so the problem of knives It shouldn't be a problem either!"

"What are you waiting for in the future?" As soon as Jiang Xudong's voice fell, Wen Dawei threw the fish bones in his hand on the ground: "Your frogmen's multi-functional diving knives are handed over to Lidong Machinery Factory. I have tens of thousands of them. I can’t afford it, and it’s only a few dollars for 48, so I’ll pay for it all!”
