Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Li Shimin is going crazy. This is obviously the way of making steel. Continuous forging, folding in half, forging again, and folding in half again. Through continuous superposition, the impurities in the iron block are continuously hammered out, and at the same time, the finished product quality is further improved.

But Nima, on weekdays, he hammers the best master craftsman in the supervisor for a whole day, which is faster than this ordinary craftsman.

Because while he was thinking about things, the craftsman had already folded the iron ingot four times.

And Li Shimin clearly knew that even the Modao with the highest quality requirements was actually of excellent quality after being folded seven times.

Then according to this speed, wouldn't it be possible to make several in a day?

Seeing that the craftsman put the iron ingots that had cooled down, or the iron lumps that could no longer be called iron ingots, but could only be called rough billets, put them into the small furnace on the side for reheating.

Li Shimin is really going crazy, isn't this shit a bit too outrageous?

He didn't even need to look down to know that this ordnance workshop was no longer the same thing as the workshop he knew. Whether it was output or quality, it was not in the same dimension at all.

But after reading these things, he became even more curious about the armor production behind. Even the forging of Modao is so magical, what will the dragon scale armor look like?

Chapter 611 Even Scarier

Although Li Shimin's heart was about to explode, his long-term experience left him with a calm expression on his face, as if these were nothing more than that.

But in fact, Li Shimin was almost drooling.

As a commander-in-chief, an emperor, who wouldn't want all the sergeants under his command to be fully armed with sharp swords?

As long as this ordnance workshop is moved back to Chang'an, then it will be his, and then he will be able to dress up the entire army, not to mention the price, but the speed and quality alone will definitely surpass all the aristocratic families and craftsmen today.

Moreover, Li Shimin also discovered that in this ordnance factory, everyone seemed to only do one thing at hand.

The craftsman who was still hammering the rough billet just now, after hammering the rough billet to a certain extent, changed hands and put the thing aside, then turned around and took out the same red-hot iron ingot as before and started forging again.

And the craftsman on another workbench next to him picked up the rough billet he had just placed there and started finishing. Under the hammering, it quickly turned into the shape of Mo Dao.

After Li Shimin took a few glances, he continued to walk down in this order. Sure enough, there was a different job on the next workbench.

He was also a craftsman. At this time, even the iron block above his head was much smaller. He took the blank that had been refined by the previous craftsman and started the final forging and quenching.

This is obviously experienced, the blank is fixed by a few iron clips on the workbench, and then the small iron blocks are repeatedly forged.

And it was continuously put into the small furnace on the side for calcination, and then quenched in a pool next to it, then calcined, and then quenched.

If you go further down, it will be another process, and Li Shimin also discovered that the people here are not at all like Jiang Zuojian, a master craftsman who worked hard for ten days and a half months to forge a Modao.

On the one hand, the people here don’t need to work hard to wield heavy hammers, and the hammers are completely replaced by the big iron blocks on the top of their heads driven by unknown reasons. At the same time, they don’t need to follow the master craftsman who will be the prison Complete all steps in the same way.

Everyone only needs to concentrate on doing their own work well, and throw it aside after finishing, and then take another one to start working again, constantly going back and forth, and don't care about other things at all.

Li Shimin remembered reading a book from Zhang Nuo, which seemed to mention this production method, which seemed to be called an assembly line production method.

This production method seems to be able to reduce the difficulty of each work link as much as possible, and at the same time regard the workers on the entire production line as a whole.

As long as there is no error in each link, then the work efficiency can be maximized.

And there is another biggest advantage, that is, the requirements for the quality of employees in each work link have been greatly reduced.

You must know that in the general prison, there are not craftsmen with more than ten years of experience, and they are not even qualified to encounter Mo Dao. The qualifications are enough to start learning from the assistant.

But here, Li Shimin did not believe that Zhang Nuo had a large group of master craftsmen waiting here.

And if this is not the case, it means that the people Zhang Nuo got here are at most ordinary blacksmiths, not even blacksmiths, maybe they are just blacksmith apprentices who have studied for a period of time.

But it is these people who forcibly made better quality Modao, and it seems that the output is even greater than his Jiangzuojian.

This Nima is outrageous.

But what can Li Shimin say, except that he is so envious, he can only pretend to be calm and continue to read.

He especially wants to know now, the armor thing is much more complicated than the weapon, how did it get there?

Thinking of this, his pace became a little faster.

But when he really went to the place where the armor was produced, he couldn't understand it at all.

If the production of weapons is only improved on the original basis, then the production of armor is completely updated.

A large pile of iron ingots is sent directly into the furnace for calcination, and then the molten iron is poured into the mold, and then it becomes a whole piece of iron plate, and then sent to a large iron table. It turned into a large neat sheet of thin iron.

Moreover, there is a small hole on each piece of iron for threading a rope. Li Shimin doesn't know anything else, but he knows this thing. Isn't this the scale on his armor?

The so-called dragon scale armor is actually leather armor covered with a layer of steel armor that is threaded with ropes, so that the entire armor is covered with a layer of dragon scales.

Such armor is very effective in preventing arrows and hacking, but at the same time, it is also very difficult to produce such armor.

After all, such small iron pieces are still required to be made of steel. In the past, craftsmen had to slowly forge and beat them one by one to form them.

But now, if this shit is put there and clicked down, I am afraid that the armor pieces needed for a piece of armor will be produced at one time.

Then he saw that the craftsmen directly took the freshly baked nails and put them back into the furnace to heat them, and when they were burning red, they poured them into a bucket of black liquid to quench them.

After being quenched, the nail plate itself is no longer the original silvery white, but is dyed with a layer of strange rays of light.

Li Shimin didn't know what effect this layer of sunlight had, but he thought it would have some effect!

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Nuo is such a shrewd person, if it doesn't work, it's no wonder he would add such a process for no reason.

Although Xingben is no longer the commander of the guards around Zhang Nuo, at least he is considered an upper-level person in Pyongyang City, and he is also involved in military affairs, so he knows something about it, and he took the initiative to explain,

"Your Majesty, this was made by His Royal Highness King Qin. After this quenching, the entire armor can prevent corrosion. Not only can it be exposed to rain, but it is not afraid of getting any dirt. It is much more durable than the old-fashioned armor!"
