lying down

This is probably the piece of equipment that Ouyang values ​​most besides armor.The armor and small things are ready. The weapon Ouyang does not intend to change the Tang Dao. The design of the Tang Dao is already the pinnacle of knives in this era. There is no need to change it. It is just a matter of modifying the material and manufacturing process.

So Ouyang looked through the information many times, and finally found the anatomy diagram of this military crossbow.The most critical core part is the change of the "crossbow machine" composed of parts such as shank, hanging knife, Wangshan and bow pieces. It is simpler, stronger, and has a higher fps, up to 300.The second is the magazine, that is, the storage compartment for crossbow bolts, which can arrange thirteen crossbow bolts neatly.

The reason why Ouyang didn't take out the Panlong Bow to equip special forces is that the production process is complicated and requires too many parts. Once it is damaged on the battlefield, it will be discarded.The second is that the Panlong Bow has sound after all, but the crossbow has a silent or very small sound, which is especially suitable for the existence of the "special brigade" as a force. Sneak attacks and assassinations are absolutely the same from a certain distance. choose.Moreover, it has fewer parts, is easy to replace, and can be mass-produced on a small scale, which ensures the supply of its own team of 60 people.

The crossbow is less than half a meter long, that is, a little more than one and a half feet, and it is very convenient to carry. If the crossbow body is made of iron, the net weight is less than six catties, and the mixed crossbow body of wood and iron is less than three catties. Even if you travel long distances, it will not be harmful to your physical strength. Too much to ask.It is estimated that the effective range is 200 meters and the accurate range is 100 meters.In the memory of Ouyang, a hard-core Tang fan, Volume [-] of "Tang Liudian" provides information: "There are three out of ten armors, one is called Mingguang Jia, the other is called Guangyao Jia, the third is called Fine Scale Jia, the fourth is called Wenshan Jia, and the fourth is called Wenshan Jia. The fifth is the black hammer armor, the sixth is the white cloth armor, the seventh is the soap silk armor, the eighth is the cloth back armor, the ninth is the infantry armor, the tenth is the leather armor, the eleventh is the wooden armor, the tenth is the second chain armor, and the tenth is the three Vest. There were thirteen types of armor in the Tang Dynasty, of which Mingguang was the most. With the appearance of this kind of crossbow, it would not be a problem to penetrate Wenshan or Xilin Erjia within [-] meters, which shows that it is expected to be extremely powerful.

To a certain extent, the appearance of this crossbow will replace the appearance of hot weapons in Ouyang's thinking, and its existence is definitely a pinnacle.The only thing that worries Ouyang is the current talent, whether Chu Tian, ​​senior brother Fu Sheng, fourth senior brother Zhu Ran, and eldest brother Goro, including himself, can make good iron and steel, whether they can make good iron and steel, or not. Making things more accurate and easier to produce is the problem.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a headache. Before he entered the Tang army, he had told everyone how to take in orphans, but now it seems that he hasn't acted yet. Ouyang didn't know the reason, and he didn't ask.This may seem unintentional, but it is the basis of all his plans-talent reserves.

It is impossible for him to recruit all the talents he needs from Datang. He is not a god, not a fairy, but a butterfly with advanced knowledge and predicting the direction of history. To put it bluntly, maybe at some point he turned the wheel of history His trajectory, his disappearance or death are all things that are still unknown.

He needs technical talents to turn what he remembers in his mind into real productive forces, he needs management talents to integrate these productive forces and leap into wealth, and he needs political talents to implement what he may take in the future Reform measures... He needs too many talents, but the talents to cultivate these talents have not yet appeared, and he needs to teach and open up by himself.

This is the reason why he asked his family to take in the orphans. They will become the fire seeds, sharing the knowledge in his brain and "Gold Finger" in advance, and perhaps in the days to come, they can become the fire seeds to continue the Chinese civilization and open a new era for future generations. The gate of the times.

Ouyang rubbed his head and brows, sometimes unconsciously feeling a lot of pressure.This is not the life he expected, but it is the life he must face. If he wants to live up to this second life and find his unknown wife and children, he must take it step by step, but each step is seen by others. It is miraculous, relaxed and natural, but only he himself knows the double pressure of bitterness, bitterness, and mental and psychological pressure.

"Uh—" He threw a stack of drawings aside, took a deep breath, and tried his best to follow the rules and regulations that he had to do.

"Is Balang here?" An old voice came from outside the door, and when Ouyang heard it, it was Chutian.I thought to myself, what is the old man doing to find me at noon?Didn't you let yourself have time to talk to him, why did you kill him yourself?

After thinking about it, I got up, tidied up my clothes, and opened the door to have a look.He was taken aback by this sight. The two disciples brought by Chutian and Goro stood behind him together, looking at him with a smile.

Well, when Cao Cao arrived, I was just thinking about how I and this group of people could smelt steel step by step, and I didn't want everyone to come here by themselves.Ouyang looked at the crowd with a smile and saluted, "Hello uncle, hello brothers! Who are you?"

"Balang, what's the matter, do you want me to wait and chat with you in this icy and snowy place? Is this the way of hospitality?" Chu Tian stroked his beard and made a rare joke. It seemed that the old man was in a good mood.

Ouyang smiled wryly, quickly raised the thick windshield curtain, stretched out his hand and asked, "How dare you, kid? You don't dare to do this even if you lend me your guts. Please sit inside!"

The four of them entered one by one with smiles, and Goro, the last one, patted Ouyang's neck and pinched it, winked at Ouyang and said in a low voice: "Master is very interested in the iron and steel smelting you mentioned, eighth Brother, you can seize the opportunity, after passing this village, there will be no such shop."

Ouyang nodded knowingly, closed the door to take a cup, and was about to serve tea when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't left any in his room.It's not that Yunniang and the others are not careful, but that he really can't get used to drinking tea from the Tang Dynasty. It doesn't have to be stir-fried, but it also needs to be added with onion, ginger, jujube, orange peel, dogwood, mint, etc. He really can't get used to it.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Uncle, there is no tea in my room, if you don't want to be idle, how about a cup of hot water?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's tea or not, and whether it's water or not. I have a straight temper and never talk nonsense. There is no other purpose here, only one thing. I saw Xiang'er's letter saying that you have a new method of making iron and steel, Can you improve the quality of the current steel?" Chu Tian waved his hand, sat on the wooden chair with backrest specially made by Ouyang, moved his butt comfortably, and waited for Ouyang to answer his words.

"If you don't ask, I'll still tell you!" Ouyang thought to himself, with joy on his face, he said after a little pondering: "Everything has a process of inheritance and innovation. Without the hard work of the predecessors, it would be impossible." There are new innovations. So a large part cannot be separated from the current method of ironmaking, but some of the steps have been improved."

Chu Tian nodded slightly, but in his heart he secretly praised this kid for being able to talk, and praised himself in a roundabout way.He said with a smile, "Balang doesn't have to be modest, if you believe someone and some of his disciples, tell them straight."

"Hey, how can I not believe it? Wulang is closer than my own brother. Since my uncle can accept him as a disciple, how can I not believe it? Besides, I want to invite everyone here this time, so I won't hold back. Said On the topic, our current ironmaking method should be the 'Sugang method'. The basic process is the method invented by Qimu Huaiwen during the Northern Qi Dynasty, right?"

"Hey, eighth brother, you really know a lot! I really didn't realize that you even know this." Goro winked and praised.

Ouyang smiled, knowing that his elder brother was playing the side drum for him.Seeing everyone nodding, he continued: "There are a few changes in the method I said, please comment. One is the raw material for burning fire, coal. The temperature of charcoal fire is not high, and the temperature of coal is several times higher. And I want to use However, it is higher than more coke. Simply put, coke is heated to a certain extent under the condition of no gas, and after drying, pyrolysis, melting, bonding, solidification, shrinkage and other processes, the final product Products. It sounds complicated, but it is the necessary foundation for making good steel."

The three disciples behind Chu Tian half-understood and half-understood, all thinking quietly.Only Chu Tian became more and more excited as he listened to it. Now he was finally sure that this kid was not bragging, but really had something in his belly. It was just the first one that made him suddenly realize that charcoal could be used in this way. "Continue!" Chu Tian was impatient and urged.

"The second is to use wrought iron as the raw material iron, put it in the furnace, and put the pig iron plate at the furnace mouth. When the furnace temperature rises to a certain level and the pig iron plate begins to melt, use the tongs to clamp the pig iron plate to the left and right sides. Move and constantly turn the material iron, so that the material iron can be evenly poured into the liquid pig iron; in this way, it can not only produce a good carburizing effect, but also produce a severe effect, so that the iron and slag are separated, and the product with less slag and more components is produced. Uniform steel." Ouyang did not copy the previous steelmaking method, it is very simple, the basic industry is too far behind, just building an open hearth converter requires a lot of other industrial support, which is too laborious and unrealistic for him.

His second point is that he took the "Su Gang Method" of the Ming Dynasty and made a big step forward on the basis of the "Guan Gang Method".This is enough for him. After the technology matures, it will definitely be advanced that cannot be copied.

"The third point is quenching and forging!" Ouyang paused for a moment, took a glass of water and said it all, firstly, he said he was thirsty for a long time, and secondly, to give everyone a reaction and buffer time , so that everyone can think about it.
