"promise!"
Although Liu Deng did not punish him this time, the look just now scared Du Ziteng so much that he broke into a cold sweat.
He was indeed negligent in this matter. The things sent from other hospitals were actually delayed by him for so many days...
There was not much time, and Du Ziteng came up with two guards carrying a huge box.
"Open!"
Liu Deng glanced at it and said while drawing the picture.
"promise!"
Du Ziteng stepped forward to open the box himself, but after opening it, he was dumbfounded. What the hell is this thing?
But when Liu Deng took a look, he suddenly became ecstatic. These people had actually tinkered with the water conservancy hammer for him!
With a little modification, this thing can be used to make plate armor!
"How are you holding up in the Hebend area? Don't tell me there's still no results yet?"
Liu Deng personally selected that river bend. The water flow there is fast, so it is of course the most suitable place to place the water conservancy forging hammer.
However, it was originally used to make paper, but now it seems that it will be used by generals and supervisors first.
After all, compared with getting rich, it is more important to save one's own life.
Moreover, Liu Dan also wanted to take advantage of the Xiongnu invasion to use a lot of money to achieve a hearty victory.
During this period of time, the general master was busy making stringers and arrows, but once these things were on track, Cai Xin, the master general, could be free again.
I really should find something for him to do, otherwise, I can't always keep myself busy with all these things.
"Go find Cai Xin and ask him to bring me a sample of the winding instrument they made!"
It seems that it is time to consider expanding the general supervisor again. The steel problem should improve soon. Although the problem of raw materials cannot be completely solved, it should be greatly alleviated.
Only after all three iron plants use new furnaces and use the steel frying method, the raw material problem may be completely solved.
"promise!"
Although he didn't know what the king wanted to do with Cai Xin, Du Ziteng still hurriedly sent people to find him.
"Cai Xin meets the king!"
"You're here. Sit down for a moment and take a look at the thing in the box. I'll be fine soon!"
Without even raising his head, Liu Deng pointed to the box on the ground and said to Cai Xin.
"promise!"
Since Liu Deng solved the casting problem, Cai Xin's admiration for Liu Deng has reached the extreme.
He really didn't expect that his own king would be so knowledgeable. Even the knowledge of these craftsmen was at their fingertips, and they had benefited a lot from just a few pointers!
Especially those palace secrets, his own king actually knew them all very well, which really made him admire them.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what this thing is used for?"
Looking at the hydraulic forging hammer in the big box, Cai Xin thought about it for a long time, but still didn't understand how to use it.
"Get a ladle of water from outside and pour it on the roller!"
Liu Deng did not explain to him, but just gave an instruction casually.
Cai Xin was stunned when he heard what Liu Deng said, but he quickly obeyed, took a ladle of water from the water tank outside, and poured it directly towards the roller.
Just as soon as the ladle of water went down, Cai Xin's eyes suddenly lit up.
"This thing is your king!"
Cai Xin was so surprised that she almost jumped up.
"Don't be impatient, you can do some research on your own first, and then I'll talk about it after I finish the painting!"
The style of this plate armor was finally finalized after hundreds of years of tempering by later generations.
The breastplate is slightly convex, showing a slow arc. On the one hand, it can minimize the impact of arrows and the like on the human body. On the other hand, it can also make this thing look a little more beautiful.
After all, compared with the exquisite scales, this thing looks like a crudely made commodity.
To put it bluntly, it is just a piece of pig iron with a few holes drilled in it, and then used for wearing...
As for the name Plate Armor, it can only be called a beautiful name...
"Take a look at this thing. If you were asked to use this kind of machine to do it, would you have any difficulties?"
When the drawing was finally finished, Liu Deng just clicked on the dozen or so parts on the white paper and explained each one to Cai Xin in detail.
"Your Majesty, this is it!"
Although Cai Xin is a technical geek, he is not stupid. Most of the weapons used by the Han Dynasty today are scale armor and leather armor.
Of course there are people covered in iron armor, but it's really like what Liu Deng painted, it's really unprecedented.
But unfortunately, when this thing is taken out together with the hydraulic forging hammer, it doesn't look out of place at all.
It's as if this water-powered forging hammer was born for this thing.
If you rely solely on manpower, the production will of course be time-consuming and laborious, but with this hydraulic forging hammer, the operation will be tens of thousands of times easier!
"I call it plate armor. Do you think it's possible?"
"My lord Yingming, if this thing is used to make it, I'm afraid that the man-hours spent on making this pair of armor will be less than one-tenth of what it used to be!"
The parts drawn by Liu Deng must be so simple that they can be described as crude.
It's basically just a few bent pieces of iron with a few holes punched in it, and even an ordinary apprentice can operate it skillfully.
"Very good, I have already chosen the place with you. You can allocate the craftsmen yourself. There are not enough people to recruit people. I will ask you to use the fastest time to make the plate armor for me. I have notified the raw materials to be supplied to you first. ! What you have to do now is three things, the plate armor sword and the stringer! Ten thousand pairs of stringers and a thousand pairs of plate armor swords. If you can complete it within twenty days, just tell me what reward you want! "
In twenty days, on the one hand, the winding machine must be made, and on the other hand, the hydraulic forging hammer must be made.
Mo Dao is easy to solve. The general now has a ready-made workshop, which can be put into production immediately with a little modification. And with the experience of casting gears, they can make it much faster!
It's just that this plate armor is indeed a bit difficult. After all, it takes time to install and make a hydraulic forging hammer.
"If this place is demolished and replaced with livestock, it seems possible!"
Cai Xin did not answer Liu Deng's question directly, but squatted down and looked at the hydraulic forging hammer carefully, and murmured to himself.
Hearing what he said, Liu Deng was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed happily. He was indeed right. This guy was indeed the best candidate to be a great craftsman.
"Just do whatever you want to do. If you need manpower, money or food, just deploy it. As long as you can complete the task, you will be a great hero of our country!"
"promise!"
