The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 186 Equality for all living beings is progressing

The old Song Army leather armor and the like were not included in the test. The old light iron armor weighed about thirty pounds and could not be defended within thirty steps. Some of the armor pieces were broken, and some were able to penetrate the armor pieces. .

After all, the thickness is only three centimeters.

In Song Dynasty, one foot is ten inches, one inch is ten cents, one cent is ten centimeters, and one centimeter is ten centimeters...

Three centimeters is a thickness of about one millimeter.

These are the two new designs of Shen Chong and Ning Ren, pure steel walking armors.

Completely ignores attacks from ordinary swords and bows.

Right now, all living beings are equal and have a duel with this two-inch caliber, a new generation of acid gunpowder that can penetrate the iron armor of the old Song Army.

Let's see if the new pure steel infantry armor can carry a distance of thirty steps. It needs to be used in a group of three people. It has a two-inch shotgun type steel ball that is equal to all beings.

Finally, enough preparations were made.

This big guy is difficult to control with the flintlock method. It will lose its accuracy, but the fuse is still reliable for ignition.

After a loud bang.

It is not clear whether the armor of the new walking armor can prevent the equality of all living beings, but the wooden man wearing the armor has already flown back and hit the earth wall behind heavily, causing the earth wall to collapse.

A craftsman standing by said: "I don't think I can prevent it. If I fall, I will be disabled."

Several people went around to the back and observed the thickness of the earth wall and the extent of the damage. They also said, "Just a bump like this will hurt more than a horse hitting it."

"The bones will definitely break."

Shen Chong and Ning Ren were squatting on the ground to look at the damage on the front of the armor.

In the end, Shen Chong believed that this kind of iron cylinder was more meaningful than the three-eye iron cylinder, so he first made a hundred of them for the craftsmen to practice.

The biggest regret about this thing is that it cannot be loaded with solid bullets.

Two-inch solid bullets, with cast iron barrels like this, will sound muffled after just a few rounds. Based on Shen Chong's experience, they will explode if used again.

We still need to continue to work on the quality of the steel and the casting skills of the iron cylinder.

Fortunately... not short of money.

The Ordnance Supervision is run by the government, and all workshops are also run by the government, so they are definitely not allowed to do business.

However, Liang Xin arranged several caravans.

They sell cans in the winter and ice in the summer.

This revenue forecast is quite generous.

Shen Chong stood up and sighed.

"Why do you sigh, Master?"

"Steel, Brother Xin wants to increase steel production tenfold. I will take you to see a new object." After Shen Chong finished speaking, he took Ning Ren to a well-defended place.

The people guarding here are all veterans selected from the front department of the palace.

The team was led by a descendant of the Cao family.

There are three floors inside and three floors outside, and the guards are extremely tight.

There are nearly a hundred first-class master craftsmen here alone.

It's just a few items the size of a jewelry box, which is just as big as a jewelry box.

The first one has a wind wheel with eighteen spoons on it. A kettle with a very thin nozzle is boiling water. The nozzle blows out the air and blows the spoons, which are rotating together with the wind wheel.

Shen Chong said: "Brother Xin said that even if you are an immortal in this world, the root of all magic is boiling water and throwing stones, but after it has been developed to the extreme, it is still boiling water and throwing stones. I have understood this for a long time. , still not fully understood.”

After saying that, Shen Chong took Ning Ren to the second object the size of a jewelry box.

Here we are not blowing a spoon, but a seven-blade fan.Shen Chong pointed to the bearing and said: "It is such a small thing that has cost tens of thousands of dollars. It is still being improved. This thing is of great use. According to the current new research, it is already of great use for carriages."

"Come this way again."

Another object the same size as a jewelry box.

Shen Chong introduced: "The principle of this thing is the bellows used in blacksmith furnaces. There is a mechanism here. When the air after boiling water is pushed, the mechanism will rotate the vent, allowing the bellows to push each other left and right. It is very powerful and can push the saw blade. My brother said that if you study this thing carefully, it may have the power of thousands of oxen and thousands of horses. I thought about it and found that if I make it a few feet big, it may have the power of a hundred horses."

Shen Chong finished explaining: "There are specialties in martial arts. You can continue to study firearms. I just want to let you know that weapons supervisors are completely different from each other. Maybe one day, in the hands of you and my master and apprentice, you can create magical weapons and immortal weapons." .”

Ning Ren was full of confidence: "It must be possible. Who in the past thought of being able to eat fresh vegetables in winter? I heard that Liulifang is looking for better raw materials and higher craftsmanship to create cheaper and more practical flat colored glaze. I am I think flat glass can be used on windows so that the house will be very bright during the day."

"If you have an idea, you can give it a try."

Shen Chong was encouraging.

After Liang Xin took control of the weapons supervisor, the first change was income.

In the Song Dynasty, except for Bianjing City, the monthly income of ordinary craftsmen would not exceed [-] yuan.The craftsmen in the Ordnance Supervision are higher, with more than [-] Wen.

And Liang Xin directly doubled or multiplied this value.

Those excellent master craftsmen, whether they are blacksmiths, carpenters, or skilled craftsmen.It is directly upgraded to the salary income equivalent to that of a seventh-grade official, but there are not so many subsidies, such as tea supplements, clothing supplements and other subsidies.

Therefore, many craftsmen in the large workshops of the Ordnance Supervision Bureau work very hard.

For example, make farm tools for sale, make second-class thin leather armor, ice boxes for cans and salt, etc.

They know that if they cannot make money, their monthly income will also be affected.

Good quality and high output.

Just for arrowheads, a small workshop can make [-] arrowheads in a month.

These are what the Jurchens want to buy.

The Jurchens exchanged medicinal materials, iron ore, and items stolen from the Koreans.

Mention the Jurchens.

At this moment, the Jurchen envoy, the Han Cui Yiye, had already taken advantage of the moonlight to quietly enter the south courtyard of Liang Mansion through the corner gate of Liang Mansion.

The special gifts he brought were also carried into the courtyard.

Liang Xin asked someone to prepare tea and came to the living room yawning.

"Brother Yiye, why are you here so late at night?"

Cui Yiye replied: "When I came, I saw a Korean ship on the road. Some of them came to Bianjing. I sent people to follow them. Their people should be messengers and bring letters to Pu Jiannan. I asked about Pu Jiannan's current location in Song Dynasty. A royal student of the country.”

"Well, I know, I've heard of it."

Liang Xin pretended to be sleepy.

He is Yanei.

At least at this time, he is a yameni.

Cui Yiye continued: "The Koreans have sent heavy troops to drive away our tribe. They seem to be planning to build a city to drive us further north. At the moment, the Koreans don't know about the iron mines. If they know, they will definitely know There was a fierce battle.”

Liang Xin held the tea cup and took a while to realize: "Well, will the Koreans sell iron ore to me?"

As soon as these words came out, Cui Yiye's face suddenly turned bad.

Not angry.

It's just that Liang Xin said a fact that he knew but was unwilling to admit.

　I tried it for the first time today. The desktop client is released. You can check some words and characters. It is still good.
