When people were in Qin, Shennong reincarnated at the beginning

Chapter 102 Coating Technology.

The size of this meteorite is only one foot square. If it is used to make armor, it is estimated that at most dozens of pairs of armor will be made.

This meteorite is indeed the best used to make armor. If the soldiers of the Qin Army wear armor made of this meteorite, then it is equivalent to invulnerability, and swords and halberds cannot be added to the body.

Of course, it is also possible to create weapons, but there is a point.When you use the weapon made of this meteorite to kill people, you must first ensure that your opponent is not wearing armor.

Although this meteorite is good, if only dozens of pieces of armor can be made, then it is actually not very meaningful.

Dozens of invulnerable people can hardly play a decisive role on the battlefield.If it is thousands, or even tens of thousands, the meaning is quite different.

At this time, Li Mu suddenly remembered one thing. When he traveled to Xi'an in his previous life, he naturally had to observe the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses.

I remember that when I was looking at the early Daqin weapons in the museum, the tour guide introduced that a special metal coating would be applied to the weapons of the Qin Dynasty.

It is this special coating that keeps these unearthed weapons for thousands of years.Even after thousands of years have passed, it is still as sharp as ever.

But Li Mu didn't find any so-called coating on the Qin army's weapons in this world.

Although this world is not the historical world of the previous life, it is still the Great Qin, and there must always be similarities.

Coating, yes, the crux of the matter is the coating.

If this one-foot-square meteorite is used to cast weapons, it can only cast dozens of armors.

However, if it is used to make paint, apply a thin layer on the armor.Then it is not a problem to paint thousands or tens of thousands of armors.

Whether it is fighting quality or fighting will, the Qin army can be said to be the strongest in the world.If there are tens of thousands of people wearing this kind of armor, it is equivalent to tens of thousands of sharp soldiers of the Qin army who are not as good as swords and guns.

Thinking of this, Li Mu felt that he had to stand up.Come to think of it, Daqin has not yet had a precedent for coating weapons. If he didn't propose it, no one would think of it for a while.

"Your Majesty, I do have an idea about this piece of Meteorite, but I still have to do some experiments." Li Mu cupped his hands towards Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng thought to himself, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are unreliable, and it really depends on Li Mu to come up with an idea.

"Ai Qing, you can do it yourself!" Ying Zheng replied.

After receiving Ying Zheng's consent, Li Mu shouted to the guards in the hall: "Come here, bring a sword!"

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, the guard next to him brought a bronze sword.

"General Zhang Han, hold this sword and chop at this meteorite." Li Mu ordered, and handed the bronze sword in his hand to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han was a little unclear, so he felt that Shang Guoshi's work was a bit confusing.However, a soldier takes obeying orders as his bounden duty, since Li Mu ordered him to do so.

Zhang Han slashed at the meteorite with his sword. When the bronze sword was three feet away from the meteorite, no matter what, Zhang Han could hardly get close to it.

At this moment, it can be clearly seen that Zhang Han has exhausted all his strength.On his arms and on his forehead, the blue veins have exploded slightly.

"Okay, put away the long sword!" Li Mu instructed Zhang Han.

"Everyone, do you know what it means?" Li Mu asked the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

When Li Mu asked such a question, the ministers of the court were a little confused.Everyone thought, you have a hammer to the east and a mallet to the west, who knows what you want to say?
"Please go to the National Teacher, please be frank?" Prime Minister Li Si cupped his hands towards Li Mu and said.

Li Mu smiled slightly, and asked Zhang Han: "May I ask General Zhang Han, how does the strength of ordinary soldiers compare with yours?"

Zhang Han thought for a while, and then replied: "It's hard to reach the last general Baiyi."

"The strength of an ordinary soldier is hardly equal to that of General Zhang Han, but with the strength of General Zhang Han, even if he swings his sword with all his strength, it is difficult to get within three feet of this meteorite."

"When these two soldiers fight each other, they can't cut at a distance of three feet, they can't cut at a distance of three inches, and they can't cut at a distance of three fingers."

"Your Majesty, I reckon that the repulsive force produced by a baby's fist laughing meteorite is enough to resist the power of ordinary soldiers swinging swords." Li Mu talked eloquently.

"Ha ha!"

"Master Shang, are you joking?"

"Isn't it true that the armor is made of meteoric iron the size of a baby's fist, and the armor is as thin as a cicada's wing. I'm afraid the craftsmen of the empire may not be able to do such a craft?" the Yinyang family's head of gold, Lao Yun Zhongjun, retorted.

Yun Zhongjun was very fancy about this meteorite, so he didn't want to see this kind of treasure cast into armor.

"Where is General Jiang Zuo?" Ying Zheng called to His Highness.

"My lord, the public loses the enemy!" The master craftsman responded.

"According to my Daqin's current skills, it is possible to forge a pair of armor with meteorite iron the size of a baby's fist?" Ying Zheng asked Gongshuban.

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's question, Gong Shuban's face immediately wrinkled like egg skin, showing a look of embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, how can this meteorite the size of a baby's fist be able to forge armor? I'm afraid it's not only the skill of my loser, but also the skill of the Mohist school." Jiang Zuo replied.

Hearing this, Minister Jin of the Yin-Yang family was very proud. If the public can't do this, then it will be much easier. This piece of meteorite belongs to their Yin-Yang family.

However, at this time, Li Mu spoke again: "Lord Gongshu, let me ask you, with Gongshuo's skill, is it possible to divide this meteorite into the size of a baby's fist, and then grind it into powder?"

Hearing Li Mu's question, Gong Shuchou returned without hesitation, "Going back to the Imperial Teacher, as the saying goes, using great force to perform miracles, splitting meteorites and grinding them into powder doesn't have any technical content, just apply great force. This is not a troublesome thing for us losers."

"In this case, let me teach you a trick. You first divide this meteorite into standard sizes, then grind it into powder and mix it with molten iron. Finally, apply it on my Daqin's bronze armor. In this way , does this have the same effect!" Li Mu pointed out.

As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and he admired Li Mu's wisdom in his heart.

This method sounds not difficult, but why no one of them can think of it.

Especially Gongshuqiu, at this moment his heart seemed to be filled with turbulent waves.This method can be said to have awakened him. With this method, when forging weapons in the future, good materials can be used as the outer layer material, and then slightly inferior materials can be used as the inner layer material.

(ps: I would like to recommend my own new book, "Age of Empires: The Beginning Reincarnation of the Great Qin Prince", which is also the theme of the Great Qin Dynasty. As a new Xiaomeng, I want to write a book to make money and marry a wife, so I hope everyone will support it.)
