Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

When he just occupied Qingzhou, Chen Xi started a wave of iron smelting. Although Chen Xi didn't know much about iron smelting, he understood high temperature and hydraulic die casting. .

Besides, the Luzhong Iron Mine is one of the few iron mines in China with a capacity of more than one billion tons. Although Chen Xi doesn't know the location, he can draw a general location so that people can find it.

At the beginning, Chen Xi also made a wave of high-quality iron weapons to show off to Liu Bei, but he was cut off by Liu Bei's standard weapons, and he was hit hard.

However, this did not shake Chen Xi's enthusiasm. After all, the small steel mill had already been built, and it would be a waste of resources to just throw it away, so Chen Xi vigorously studied the warming technology.

In the end, the essence of Wenyang was basically determined. After that, Chen Xi’s small steel factory started to work again, producing various "high-quality" steel products in "large quantities". .

What Liu Bei told Chen Xi at the beginning was, what kind of pig iron, cast iron, cured iron, refined iron, as long as it is all iron, the limit of warming is the same.

Unless the inner qi is extremely strong like the inner qi separated from the body, the warming will break through a certain limit, or it is like Guan Yu's willpower, which forcibly crosses the limit of warming.

Otherwise, there would be no difference in the final results of these things being warmed up, but later Chen Xi repeatedly confirmed that there is actually a gap.

If it was pure iron, there would definitely be no difference, but pig iron, cast iron, tin iron, refined iron, etc. actually contain other elements inside, and the proportions are also different.

This greatly affected the limit of warming, and Chen Xi tried to add various strange things to it, and finally created high-quality steel with a significantly higher upper limit of warming.

Well, in fact, at this time, can it be said that there are some problems with the steel, and a lot of messy things are added in it. If there is no warming, I am afraid that it is not even an ordinary alloy material, but after warming, the strength of the material has exploded. Ten streets of graphene.

After so many years of constant warming and modifying the ratio of materials, the frontline soldiers under Liu Bei's rule have basically completed the last wave of dressing, which means that during this military parade, everyone can There is a plate armor on the chest, and the other part is the armor of the armor.

If this was put in the past, basically only generals and schools are eligible to obtain things. After so many years of continuous production, they are finally equipped for the main battle army. Although some of them have not been warmed up, they are already usable. There is still a lot of time for warming up.

Such an armor weighing about 20 catties would have been worth about 150,000 to 200,000 yuan in the past. Now, Chen Xi seems to have collapsed the price of weapons and equipment.

After all, with so many weapons and equipment, armor and shields, and an armed army of 400,000, it would cost about 100 billion yuan, and if the price of war horses was included, it would be a lot of money.

Fortunately, the war horses are raised by themselves, the mines are on their own land, and the steel mills are also run by themselves. The labor cost is negligible. Otherwise, it is impossible for any prince to arm so many troops. Raising soldiers is just two words. Spend money, and only when the money is in place can we talk about other things.

But this is all in the past. Now after arming the first-line army, although the Luzhong Steel Plant run by Chen Xi is still in production, it is more for stock preparation. Therefore, the report from Lu Jun made Lu Su think. Thought or agreed.

After all, the steel factory has been producing all the time now, and the steel in stock is also sufficient. Lu Jun needs some steel to make keels and girders. From Su's point of view, it should be, maybe Lu Jun can give them a surprise.

Well, Lu Su is completely overthinking. What Lu Jun is doing now can only surprise them, and will definitely not make them happy.

After all, a model is a model. Issues such as structural mechanics, transmission, torque, etc. cannot be easily solved by a single model. Although material science, which is already kneeling on the ground, can solve a lot of problems, Lu Jun is now on the road to death. Run farther and farther!

But thinking about the current situation under Liu Bei's rule, counting people such as Zixu, Cookie, etc., they actually ran farther and farther on the road to death, and even gradually ran out of the realm, and there were not a few people who ran out of grades. It was thanks to Chen Xi's abundant capital.

"Zi Chuan, how much steel do we have in stock now?" After Lu Su's instructions, he put it on the waiting list, turned it over after a while, turned to look at Chen Xi, who was stealing and playing tricks, and asked. .

"Huh?" Chen Xi frowned instantly, he was distracted just now, "Uh, what did that kid say to you? Can you say it again, my ears are not very good recently."

Lu Su was dumbfounded, Chen Xi, can you be more shameless?

After taking a deep breath and silently saying "Don't be as knowledgeable as Chen Xi" several times, Lu Su calmed down, "Zi Chuan, how much steel do we have in reserve now?"

"It seems that I just mobilized a batch of steel products not long ago. Let me think about it, there are more than 6,000 tons left." Chen Xi said after a while, recalling it.

"There are still so many?" Lu Su was taken aback, "How come there are so many steel products, and why do we produce so many steel products?"

"A lot? In fact, that's it. The 400,000 troops only exchanged for the armor and chest plate armor, and equipped with a knife as a weapon. That's all they need. It's not even considered a professional shield. The broad-backed broadswords in the array, and they didn't even count the spare weapons." Chen Xi looked at the sky and said after a while.

"Uh, you changed all the clothes for the 400,000 troops?" Lu Su looked at Chen Xi in disbelief and said, "What about the leather armor that was withdrawn before?"

"Oh, it has been given back to the militiamen from all over the country. A village of 3,000 people needs 30 to 50 people from the militiamen. According to this ratio, the leather and cloth armors that have been withdrawn are not enough." Chen Xi explained rather capriciously. , Lu Su said that this kind of talk made it impossible for people to answer.

"Okay, I don't count the leather armor that was given back to the militia. What are those thousands of tons of steel used for? Even if it's for making spare weapons and equipment, it won't take so much." Lu Su looked at Lu Su speechlessly. .

"You can't just ignore us. At that time, Yongliang, Yizhou, and Jingxiang, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou will also belong to us. These soldiers will also have to change their outfits. These steel materials are used to solve this problem." Chen Xi said naturally, the purpose is It is impossible for them to work hard in the Central Plains. They are all their own people.

In Lu Su's mind, there were hundreds of thousands of Han troops all equipped with armor and holding large shields. Although it is very impressive to think about it, it is too scary. After all, soldiers wearing armor from ancient times to the present have a special The title of a soldier is called a soldier, and the one who can be called a soldier is definitely not a local turtle. As a result, Chen Xi wants to build hundreds of thousands of soldiers?

"It doesn't matter if I call some of them?" Lu Su thought for a while and said.

"It doesn't matter. It might have been affected a few years ago. It's no problem now. Although this kind of steel is a special kind of steel, as long as the steel factory doesn't stop production, it can produce a few tons every day." Chen Xi said casually, " I'll make another batch when it runs out."

"How many tons can you produce in a day?" Lu Su's eyes widened.

"Yeah, it's about five or six thousand catties." Chen Xi touched his chin, and now the weight and measure have been approved by him, which is very close to the international standard of later generations.

"That is to say, according to the standard of a well-equipped and sharp soldier, you can arm half a village in a day?" Lu Su said in disbelief.

"Yeah, didn't you say that a long time ago?" Chen Xi said as a matter of course, "I have always been responsible for the logistics. If it can't be done, we will push the troops flat. As long as it is within the range I can attack, a hundred Throw Wan Jiashi in the past, I don't believe there is no way to solve it."

Li You, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Fazheng, and Lu Su all raised their foreheads, and then silently covered their eyes, showing an inexplicable sense of loss. They really couldn't look directly at Chen Xi. Chen Xi's usual style.

"Uh, what's the matter with you guys, as I said at the beginning, my favorite is flat pushing, and bullying is the essence of the art of war. I just turned this into reality, but it is estimated that it will take a few years to produce this thing. To reach the output of 2,000 tons, counting the consumption of reserve weapons, backup support weapons and other aspects, it will take about five more years of production." Chen Xi rubbed his chin and said with some thought.

Li You, Jia Xu and the others were silent. Chen Xi really planned to arm a million soldiers with this strategy, and judging from the current strategy, the possibility of this plan being completed is extremely high. The era of the most powerful army since.

"Fourteen thousand tons is basically enough to arm a million soldiers." Li You said after a while, "You mean to keep a reserve of six thousand tons?"

"Yeah, that's almost the case. God knows what it will be like. Plan ahead. Now the problem of armor and weapons has been solved, but the problem of Shu brocade can't be solved." Chen Xi said with a bit of confusion.

"Shu Jin, what are you doing here?" Lu Su asked curiously.

"The tight and high-quality Shu brocade can be used as a lining to defend against arrows." Li You has experienced many battles, and he knows this kind of thing very well.

"Do you mean to line your inside with Shu brocade?" Guo Jia counted the money silently, and armed himself according to this rhythm. I remember correctly that the current private slave is only about 40,000 yuan, and the equipment is worth 200,000 yuan. up?

"Yes, yes, this kind of armor is flexible, provides better defense for the limbs, and does not affect the attack. The plate armor on the chest has a good ability to resist various fatal attacks, and the tight Shu brocade inside After the plate armor is pierced, it can prevent piercing attacks very well, and if it is shot by an arrow, it can also be used to take out the arrow." Chen Xi said that this is the defensive performance he found someone to design, and the weight is flexible. Wait for armor.
