The Valkyrie made her appearance in the Tai Chi Hall, and her family members watched her for a while.
Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and especially the generals Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou were even more curious about the Valkyrie.
They only took one look and saw that these so-called Valkyries were really powerful. Their skills were definitely no less than those of ordinary generals. They were not only masters of fighting alone, but also had a very good understanding of each other when working together.
If there were 3,000 Valkyries on the battlefield, Cheng Yaojin would not know his mother who dared to use all his wine to guarantee that he would beat the enemy.
When will I be able to command such soldiers?
so envious
It's a pity that they know that they don't seem to have much hope in this life. They sit in Chang'an City and watch the fat on their bellies getting thicker and thicker.
There are gains and there are losses
Although there is no possibility of fighting on the battlefield, it is still enough to hold the power to protect a family and protect peace.
"Old Cheng, why are you so envious?"
"Isn't this nonsense? These are the best of the best. They are not just one level better than the generals in our family, they may even be as good as my little brat."
Yuchi Jingde: "Yes, it is indeed much better than what we have at home. I really don't know where your majesty found it."
Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes at Yuchi Jingde: "Are you stupid?"
Yuchi Jingde said to Cheng Yaojin: "What do you mean, do you want to fight one on one?"
"Bah, I don't think I can win in a one-on-one duel with your low IQ."
"I wonder, is this old gangster looking for trouble?"
"Do you know the truth about what I said? You don't need to ask where your majesty found it. It must have been recruited from the sky. Look at the Mo Dao shield. Let me tell you that the thing in your hand will be cut with a white streak at most. Do you believe it or not?"
After taking a look at the metal shield of the Valkyrie and the blade of Mo Dao, Yuchi Jingde nodded and admitted: "Isn't this nonsense? I'm a blacksmith who is not familiar with this kind of luster. The bottom of a hundred steelmaking is put on the top of the front." All of them are rare treasures."
As for now, Li Mingda's steelmaking factory in the Tang Dynasty can produce a lot of high-quality steel every year. Even if these steel products are poor, they are no worse than Lao Li's elite Xuanjia Army during the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
The border guards and elite troops of the Tang Dynasty are methodically eliminating the old armors from the past, reforging these old armors, turning them into new armors and sending them back.
As for selling it
Pull it down
Only Tibet is still struggling around the Tang Dynasty. On the South Asian side, Li Moyun has arrived in the three countries of Zhenzhou, Linyi, and Piao by ship, and has begun to prepare the administration and military there. When he is ready, he will follow Li Mingda's instructions. A plan has been made to bring the entire South China Sea to the border of Datang, and to establish an outpost in the Strait of Malacca. Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Therefore, these things are useless and throwing them in the warehouse is a waste. The current situation of the Tang Dynasty does not require all the people to be soldiers, so the inferior armor has no use except for elimination.
The old-fashioned leather armor is useful. Not only can it be used as the lining of plate armor, but it is not impossible to transform it into a new light cavalry armor.
Light cavalry is still indispensable in wars in this era. As for light infantry, Li Mingda has a somewhat different view on this. In Li Mingda's eyes, the heavy armored soldiers of the group admire that modern firearms are the most lethal, and it is easy to attack cities and forts. Take it.
Although light infantry is very useful in breaking through enemy positions, the casualty rate is too high. It is not suitable for the current situation of Datang. Those light infantry with poor physical fitness will be subjected to physical examination and replaced with heavy armor for combat. If It is to gradually transform all of them into reserve forces that are indeed lacking.
Wang Meng saw Li Mingda's idea of supremacy of plate armor and told Li Mingda that a small amount of high-quality steel could protect the heart, lungs, kidneys and arteries, and it would still be useful as an assault force with a round shield, dagger, and horizontal sword.
So after a lot of troubles, Datang retained a group of elite assault soldiers for use in assault operations.
Li Mingda was also very curious about the Valkyrie's new armor, and asked them to take it off and study it carefully. The internal structure is quite simple. The focus is on practicality. It is not difficult to imitate large parts. The difficulty lies in the replacement of metal at the joints. Taste.
The outer plate armor of the Valkyrie-style armor was taken off, and inside was a layer of soft, silk-like metal chainmail. Li Mingda was 100% sure that this material could not be produced with the current technology of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition to this layer of chainmail, there is also a soft lining inside. The material is different from modern fabrics. It is very breathable and does not stick to the body when you sweat. It is a good thing.
It's a pity that he still can't make it. Does it mean that the Tang Dynasty doesn't have it? According to Wang Meng's reminder, this kind of thing will be included in future military materials, but the current technological level of the Tang Dynasty cannot synthesize it.
If the materials cannot be found or cannot be made, there is no need to change the style of Datang's standard armor, because it is not so simple to replace a new set of armor. The industrial mold must be updated and new standards must be formulated to allow Soldiers try it on, preferably after having experienced a war.
Datang's current lining technology is mature. If it is forcibly replaced, it needs to be replaced by steel wire. The weight is too heavy. The weight will increase after the soldiers wear it, making it inconvenient to swing the knife and run. The only way to get the warp is the connection method of the joints.
The new link method is combined with the plate armor link that Datang is constantly innovating. As for the materials, Li Mingda's Panzhihua Black Technology Factory already has a simple lathe, and it is still very simple to make small link parts.
If the perfect integrated design cannot be achieved, screw technology can be used. Thanks to the modern high-speed rail screw design scheme, Li Mingda shamelessly applied modern screws that never loosen, this black technology of the future.
By using it as a fixation for connecting parts, when soldiers transfer armor, the connecting screws will not loosen due to violent movements. In the future, the foundation of many technologies in Datang will be higher than the starting point in the future.
Beautiful
A week after Valkyrie arrived, after a series of preparations, Li Mingda's office hours in Tai Chi Hall came to an end.
The cabinet began to move back to the Imperial Study Room. According to the plan, it started from the third floor. The third floor was the residence of Li Mingda and his family guards.
Clothes, quilts, kebab racks, beds, Oscar and Grammy's doghouse, and a lot of supplies were marked by the palace maids and eunuchs and moved to the royal study like ants.
For some parts that are inconvenient to go up and down the stairs, hoisting pulleys are used here.
After a complete relocation and hundreds of people being mobilized, the messy things that Li Mingda and his family had made were finally finished.
Next is the second floor. The offices of Jinyiwei, Neiwei, Baiqisi, Holy Knights, and various military aircraft are arranged from the inside to the outside according to the degree of confidentiality.
The first level of confidentiality is relatively low-level management departments of industry, agriculture, mining, and medical care, which are people's livelihood and basic industrial base, as well as the general affairs of various places.
After the move was over and office resumed, Li Mingda started the secretary's assessment.
