"The sword is three feet long, the body of the sword is like a mirror, the air is cold, the blade is as thin as a cicada's wing, and a little cold light is condensed in the middle, as if it is constantly flowing. A good sword! It's just that the weight of this sword is... more than 40 pounds! How... how is this possible? No... Marquis! This sword is definitely not made of ordinary iron in the world. Could it be... is it from heaven? Xuan Tie?"

Tricky Court Workshop, in Li Zexuan's office.

Zhang Hongsheng held Li Zexuan's Wind Chasing Sword tightly, as if he was admiring a peerless beauty, and greedily poured his gaze on the mirror-like smooth and cold sword. The more he looked, the more he felt in his heart. The more excited he became, in the end, he looked up at Li Zexuan with an incredible look, and asked in a trembling voice.

This sword, with its sharpness and sophistication, has surpassed the Crow Nine Sword that his father devoted his life to forging. How could it not shock him?

Just the moment he raised his head, a strand of hair scattered in front of him accidentally fell on the blade of the sword. Everyone saw that the hair was easily cut off as soon as it touched the blade, and then fell to the ground lightly!

Blowing hair and breaking hair, such horror!

This is a real blow-off!

Uncle Fu, Wang Ji, Zhang Hongsheng, Song Xiaosi and the others couldn't help gasping for breath at this moment. This kind of sharp magic weapon that only existed in ancient legends was actually seen by them today!

At this time, Li Zexuan said to Zhang Hongsheng with a smile: "Brother Zhang, you guessed right, this sword is indeed not made of ordinary iron in the world, it is made of heavenly iron!"

"Gudong!"

Zhang Hongsheng swallowed hard. At this time, he had completely let go of the arrogance of the son of the sword-making family in his heart, because the sword in Li Zexuan's hand was more powerful than all the swords he had ever seen. What capital did he have? To be proud? So, he handed the Wind Chasing Sword to Li Zexuan with a sincere expression, and said:

"How can such a peerless sword be unknown, please tell me which famous sword it is? Which famous swordsmith made it~?"

Li Zexuan replied in a deep voice, "This sword, called the Wind Chasing Sword, was obtained by chance when my master traveled the world during his lifetime from the hands of a master outside the world. As for which famous master made it, this marquis is unknown!"

"Wind Chasing Sword? Good name! Unfortunately, I don't know which famous hand it came from!"

Zhang Hongsheng murmured, then he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Master Hou, Zhang has an unkind request, and I hope Master Hou will approve!"

Li Zexuan took a deep look at Zhang Hongsheng, those eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, he smiled slightly and said, "Do you want to borrow this sword and take it back for Ling Zun to see?"

Zhang Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then said a little embarrassedly: "Yes...Yes, Lord Hou! My father has been pursuing the ultimate way of casting swords all his life. This wind-chasing sword, whether it is material or craftsmanship, is the life of Zhang Mou. The only peerless sword that I have seen, my father must be delighted when he sees it, he is an old man, and as a son, all I can do is to make him more happy and less regretful in his lifetime!"

"Senior Zhang pursues the supreme swordsmanship all his life, which is indeed admirable, but this wind-chasing sword is something that my master left behind during his lifetime. How can this marquis lend it out easily?"

Li Zexuan sighed softly, and then the conversation changed, Zhang Hongsheng's complexion suddenly darkened, and he thought that he thought too much, who would be willing to lend this peerless sword easily? What's more, this wind-chasing sword is a legacy of Master Li Zexuan before his death, which is of great significance.

But at this time, Li Zexuan said again: "However, for the sake of your filial piety, it's not impossible to lend you this sword, but you need to promise to help me build a new type of armor. After agreeing, I immediately lend the sword to you. You, and grant you three days of loan time!"

Zhang Hongsheng's eyes lit up, and he said quickly: "Master Hou! I promise! I promise! Not to mention one set of armor, even if you let me build a hundred or a thousand sets of armor, I am willing!"

Li Zexuan said with some humor: "Brother Zhang, even this Marquis didn't say what kind of armor he wanted you to build, so you agreed so simply?"

Zhang Hongsheng said confidently: "Master Hou, it's not that Zhang is boasting, the various armors of the past dynasties, such as rattan armor, mysterious armor, sleeve sleeve armor, two-crotch armor, light armor, thin scale armor, mountain armor, Mingguang armor, etc., Zhang will build it, er... Hou Ye, you should tell me, what kind of new armor you want to build?"

But it was Zhang Hongsheng who was bragging and bragging. He suddenly remembered the embarrassing incident that he almost fell over when he took the sword, and felt that he couldn't speak so full in front of Li Zexuan, otherwise it would be easy to fall into trouble. After all, he was a person who suffered a loss!

Everyone couldn't help but want to laugh when they heard that Zhang Hongsheng's preface was inconsistent, and he was obviously cowardly at a critical time. The main reason is that this guy is too real, right?

Li Zexuan didn't smile, he turned around and picked up a stack of blueprints on the desk, and then took out four of them, then motioned everyone to come to him, he spread out the blueprints, and said, "Brother Zhang, the armor that Ben Hou asked you to build, It's called plate armor. The so-called plate armor is not just an iron plate, it needs to be light, flexible at the joints, and cover the whole body! Here, this is a blueprint!"

Among the many drawings he drew in the office this morning, part of it was drawing armor!

Everyone looked at the drawings and couldn't help but widen their eyes. Zhang Hongsheng couldn't help but exclaimed:

"This... This plate armor actually covers the whole body? Although this defensive part is indeed more comprehensive than the bright light armor, if the whole body is defended with armor, how heavy is this set of plate armor? If the soldiers wear it Now, how can I still walk? Not to mention fighting!"

Li Zexuan is here

The side explained: "Hehe, how heavy is this plate armor, we will talk about it later, I will first explain to you the structure of this plate armor. This plate armor is composed of helmet, strength armor, breastplate, back armor, and shoulder armor. , wrist armor, elbow armor, leg armor, greaves and steel shoes, etc. The joints are stacked with multiple layers of movable steel sheets, which can ensure that soldiers will not be hindered in the activities of war.

No steel sheet is used in the shoulder armor, and the hollow structure is maintained, so that the limbs have more room for movement. The joint parts of the torso and other parts are lined with deerskin or linen, and the interlocking locks are used. The armor is protected on the inside, so that the weight of the entire armor is borne by the whole body, and it is also comfortable to wear.

The breastplate part of this kind of plate armor is made up of three pieces, and the middle one is narrower and plays a connecting role. This structure allows the breastplate to have a certain mobility, making the wearer's movements more flexible.

Of course, one of the biggest features of this plate armor is the use of neck armor. A simple helmet cannot protect the parts below the mouth, but a large neck guard with a jaw guard is used in this plate armor to achieve the effect of complete protection of the face. For the purpose of insurance, this plate armor also uses Armpits are used to protect the armpits.

In addition, the surface of the plate armor is designed with ribs to enhance the protection effect and reduce weight. In this way, all the parts of the human body are located within the steel armor, and on the battlefield, it is completely impossible to penetrate the sword and not fear the rain of arrows! "

In fact, the plate armor that Li Zexuan is going to do is called Gothic plate armor. In his previous life, he was not only an engineering dog, but also a military fan. He has seen many dismantling pictures of armors from various countries in the ancient world on the Internet.

Plate armor is known as the king of armor, and it is also the symbol of medieval knights and the ultimate defense in the age of cold weapons. When the firearm appears in the back, it is so powerful that it can even withstand the damage of ordinary matchlock guns!

From the 14th century to the 15th century, the progress in the structure and shape of the armor was very obvious. The most famous plate armor in the history of the world, the Gothic and the Milanese plate armor, began to appear at this time: because the former is from Milan. Began to be popular, and the latter is greatly influenced by the Gothic art style, so these two armor styles are called Milanese and Gothic.

However, both Milanese and Gothic armor originated in Italy, but the Germans developed the Gothic to the extreme, leading many people to mistakenly believe that the Gothic originated in Germany.

Among all plate armors, roughly speaking, these two are the most popular. Other styles are not absent, but they are basically imitated; the Milanese style is characterized by rounded lines, close-fitting, beautiful, and beautiful shape. Beautiful; while Gothic is simple, full of functional beauty, angular and sporty.

"Ingenious! It is indeed ingenious! With these designs, it is possible to protect the whole body without affecting the movement of body joints! But how much does this set of plate armor weigh? Can the soldiers bear it?"

Zhang Hongsheng couldn't help but exclaimed.

The Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as the armor with the highest technological content and the highest defense in the Tang Dynasty, but compared with the full-body plate armor designed by Li Zexuan, it is completely insignificant, but the only thing that makes Zhang Hongsheng suspicious is this. The weight of the full body plate armor!

The rest of the people also cast their doubts on Li Zexuan. Obviously, everyone agrees that the defensive power of plate armor far exceeds that of light armor, and the only remaining doubt is weight!

Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said: "Haha! You don't have to worry about the weight at all, this kind of plate armor is the ultimate, the weight of a set will definitely not exceed 40 pounds, and the weight of a set of Mingguang armor, no matter what, it has to be five Ten kilograms up and down, right? At the same defense level, the plate armor is definitely lighter than the Mingguang armor!"

This Li Zexuan is not bragging. In modern times, when people talk about plate armor, people's first reaction is that they are bulky and inflexible. In fact, this is all people's misunderstanding of plate armor. In fact, plate armor is not only flexible, but also lightweight. , the weight of a set of Gothic plate armor will not exceed 25 kilograms (one kilogram in the Tang Dynasty is about 600 grams in modern times, so the conversion of 25 kilograms to the Tang Dynasty is about forty kilograms), And the weight of a set of Mingguang armor is about 30 kilograms!

A soldier wearing Gothic plate armor can even make a variety of difficult movements, a flexible batch! Moreover, the plate armor made by the highly skilled armor casting master, the gaps between the armor pieces can't even insert a piece of paper, and the defense is not very good!

It's like a beggar's version of Iron Man!

And such Iron Man Li Zexuan wants to make 5,000!

"This... how is this possible? This set of armor is definitely more than 40 pounds!"

Zhang Hongsheng shook his head violently, with a look of disbelief.

Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding. I don't plan to use the casting method for this plate armor. I will use the forging method to polish the plate armor to about this thickness!"

While speaking, Li Zexuan drew a thickness of about five millimeters with his hands.

Forged iron armor is not only thinner, but also stronger than cast iron armor, which is an indisputable fact!

"Forging? Such a thin thickness? Make sure the thickness is even?"

Zhang Hongsheng is a little confused: "Master Hou, according to your requirements, it is not impossible to do it, but it is extremely time-consuming and laborious to do it. If you build one or two pieces, Zhang can still do it, but once the number is too large, Zhang will It's really powerless!"

At this time, Zhang Hongsheng was very fortunate that he stopped in time when he was just urging Niubi, otherwise he would have to lose him again at this moment! At the same time, he secretly said that he must not brag in front of Li Zexuan in the future, because Li Zexuan is poisonous. As long as he brags in front of him, he will be instantly slapped in the face!

Li Zexuan laughed again: "Brother Zhang, you misunderstood again, the forging mentioned by Ben Hou is not forging by manual swinging of a sledgehammer as you imagined, but by a punching machine with constant force and constant speed. It can ensure that the forged object has a smooth surface and uniform thickness!"

"Stamping machine? There is such an artifact in the world? Why doesn't Zhang Mou know?"

Zhang Hongsheng said excitedly.

According to Li Zexuan, then the stamping machine can be regarded as an artifact in the minds of blacksmiths! After all, after having this thing, there is no need to strike iron hammer by hammer~!

Li Zexuan said: "This stamping machine is driven by water, so it can also be called a hydraulic stamping machine, but this machine has not yet started to be made. When it is completed, it will definitely have this effect! Xiao Si, you go to Mr. Mo. Please come over with Miss He Mo and say I have something to look for!"

"Yes! Young master!"

Song Xiaosi led the way.

At this time, Uncle Fu asked, "Master, you invited Mr. Mo and the others to come here because you want to make the hydraulic punching machine you just mentioned?"

Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Yes, no, it can only be said that it is not entirely true! Hydraulic punching machine tools are only a small part of the work. We now have a waterwheel under the Bahe Dam, which can be used directly for our machine tools. To provide power, just hook up some transmissions on it! However, I plan to do some other things besides the hydraulic press machine, let's talk about it when they come!"

The reason why medieval Europe was able to manufacture full-body plate armor relied on the hydraulic stamping equipment! Li Zexuan wanted to do this thing last year, but at that time he couldn't make a hydraulic punching machine without a dam. Now that the dam and hydropower station are all built, he can finally show his skills!
