Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2853 The technology is not up to standard
"The imitation failed. Both the casting technology and the smelting technology on our side have some problems. On the one hand, it is not easy to make suitable materials into such a shape, and on the other hand, the strength of the material that can be made into this shape is not up to standard. " Prasang said with some embarrassment.

Speaking of which, Nilanjan came to Prasang with a three-edged rapier and asked him to find someone to imitate it. Prasang didn't take it seriously at the beginning, but asked someone to explain it. If Nilanjan hadn't asked every three days, Prasang probably forgot about it.

"Can't even imitate?" Nilanjan said noncommittally, and Prasang felt a heavy pressure inexplicably.

At that time, I snatched back three triangular thorn swords. This kind of thing is good for a general to use twice, so I took it back and asked the artisans brought from the north to imitate it. , Turning back, Nilanjan gave it to Prasang.

After all, craftsmen are at a higher level on the Brahmin side, as are blacksmiths, casting, etc. After all, the essence of Brahmin at the beginning is a specialized social division of labor.

The Vaishya class has professional craftsmen, and they are the kind of professional craftsmen for generations. The craftsman is taller.

Even if it wasn’t for the degeneration of the Brahmins themselves, this kind of stable inheritance system at the professional level, not to mention the kind of talented craftsmen, there is actually no problem at all with first-class technical craftsmen, but the Brahmins have played badly, and now kind of result.

Of course, almost all countries in this period are very bad in this aspect, and Guishuang naturally has nothing to lose in this aspect.

Vaishya's professional craftsmen were quite reliable even at the world level at that time. After all, whether it was Rome, which represented the light of European civilization, or the Han Dynasty, the light of Central Plains civilization in this period, the professional division of labor It's just a theory.

Under such circumstances, Nilanjan was sure that he could not handle it, so he handed it over to Prasang, asking him to hurry up and produce a batch. At the beginning, after Prasang took over the job, he told Vaisya to come quickly as usual work.

Of course, Vaisya must do his best to complete Kshatriya's request, but there is nothing Vaishya can do if the technology is not up to standard. Even Chen Xi only came up with the triangular pyramidal stabbing sword in the past few years.

In ancient India, because of the professional social division of labor by the Brahmins, the level of iron smelting can be regarded as the best of the time, basically maintaining a comparable level with the Han Dynasty.

No matter how high the level of the problem is, as long as it is still hovering at the level of cast iron, that's it. You must know that Chen Xi's business is already steelmaking, or even alloy steel.

Even warming can make up for many shortcomings, but because of the different ratios of structural elements in alloy steel, Chen Xi has already selected metals that can be warmed to the highest strength, toughness, wear resistance, heat resistance, etc. .

Although in this era, these countries that can be called the light of world civilization almost all produce steel products, but the results of that kind of hard work and experience, compared with Chen Xi's current smelting steel that has almost become a scientific research, The gap is really big.

This is why the craftsmen on the Brahmin side have worked so hard for so long, but still can't come up with the desired finished product.

Faced with the rapiers of this specification that Kshatriya needs, one must use steel, but on the one hand, the output of steel is not enough; force.

Either use cast iron or cast iron. By this period, whether it is the Han Dynasty, Rome, or Anxi and Guishuang, they have reached a very high level, and the output is also guaranteed. The number of professional craftsmen of the Vaishya class is still no problem. , the problem is that cast iron is not strong enough.

"Can't figure it out?" Nilanjan didn't care to listen to these things, he just wanted the result.

"It is possible to produce by force, but it can only be produced at an extremely slow speed, or the strength of the production is not enough." Prasang also said quite helplessly.

Because Nilanjan asked again and again, Prasang did not dare to neglect. He had already been to the Vaisya himself, and successfully scared the craftsmen to half death. Come to inspect, where I don't know that this matter is very important.

It's just that no matter how important things are, if they can't be solved, they can't be solved. The technical problems are there. If they can't be solved, they can't be solved. Even if they are killed,
"Is there a finished product?" Nilanjan couldn't say anything. As a commander, Prasang is very ordinary, but as a logistics manager, he is still very qualified, and he really doesn't need to deceive himself in this regard, so Nilan Jen adjusted and changed the subject.

Prasang quickly sent someone to bring over a few, some made of cast iron and some made of steel. Nilanjan quickly discovered the difference after getting it, and said with a few strokes of the steel three-edged rapier, " Isn't this well-made?"

"The difficulty of production is too high. To arm an army, at least the same number of old blacksmiths need to work for about ten days, and waste is also a problem." Prasang said helplessly. The speed and yield, save yourself, no brains There will be no one to pick up the sick.

Who can have as many craftsmen as there are legions, and this thing is completely equivalent to forcibly planing into this shape, and steel is still a very rare material in this era, cast iron is nothing more than that, steelmaking, Brahmans are still a long way from heaven long distance.

"That means it can't be done?" Nilanjan asked, weighing the rapier in his hand.

"If you don't need much, I can organize a batch of people to do it. The problem is that it's not worth it." Things are really hard to do.

"How much can I do, if I want." Nilanjan said, looking at Prasang.

After all, the shield guard is too disgusting. As far as Nilanjan feels, there is no way to kill him without this thing. Of course, Nilanjan suspects that even with this thing, he may not be able to pierce the opponent's big shield, but at least he can Easily pierced through the opponent's plate armor.

"Fifty handles is the limit." Prasang said awkwardly.

Nilanjan had an expression of "you are just kidding me", but Prasan did not change his words even though he was in awe of Nilanjan, and Nilanjan knew it.

"What can fifty handles do!" Nilanjan said with a dark face.

"If you want to arm a complete Paduo armored regiment, that is, eight thousand pieces. Based on my understanding of the overall situation of the country, I am afraid that it will take our entire country to organize and manpower to realize it." Although Prasang was frightened by Nilanjan It's harsh enough, but it also tells the truth.

"Forget it, forget it, you go recruit the young and strong, and let me calm down." Seeing this, Nilanjan really had nothing to say, and sent Prasang away directly.

After Prasang left, Nilanjan looked at the three-edged rapier on the table with a helpless expression. He thought he had picked up a bargain, but unexpectedly got stuck in the production.

[It seems that this thing must be given up, but if you think about it, the Han army didn’t seem to have too much equipment last time, and only a few dozen people had this thing. It seems that Prasang is right. Production is too difficult. 】Niranjan thought about the situation last time, and naturally gave a very reasonable reason.

When Nilanjan was thinking this way, the shield guards under Sun Guan had already started to practice stabbing with a three-edged rapier, and a three-edged rapier was hung on their legs as a backup.

Before, Sun Guan wanted [-] handles of this thing back from Yu Jin's command in one breath, and he was going to give the opposite one a ruthless one. The production is difficult and the quantity is small?Just kidding, that is, Chen Xi almost filled a warehouse with this thing, no matter whether it works or not, it will be produced if there is spare capacity.

"Lian Yue, take someone to confiscate the Liannu, and follow me to find Wen Ze." Sun looked at the shield guards practicing in the big camp with great satisfaction, and turned his head to greet Lian Yue.

Lian Yue didn't ask the reason, and directly confiscated the five hundred arrows of the pro-army's crossbow, and then led people to follow Sun Guan to find Yu Jin.

"Wen Ze, give me a thousand bills to send a strong crossbow." Sun Guan pushed the curtain aside, and shouted before seeing Yu Jin.

"The strong crossbow is gone." Yu Jin replied without raising his head. The two sides were too familiar with each other, so there was no need for any official accent.

"I'll transfer one thousand from your personal guard." Sun Guan said bluntly.

"..." Yu Jin was silent for a while, then understood what Sun Guan meant, "Thank you very much."

"Thank you?" Sun Guan pretended to be stupid and stunned, "You don't know that the ten-arrow crossbow is really powerful. It can pierce through the armor of a Patuo soldier. Crossbow, this thing itself is used to deal with plate armor."

Yu Jin didn't say any more, and quickly exchanged a batch of single-shot crossbows for Sun Guan, and then took away the Liannu. The power of the continuous crossbow is relatively small, and it is indeed somewhat incapable of defending elite troops like the Patuo armored regiment.

However, this kind of defensive unit is not good enough. Facing ordinary chain armor, scale armor, and even plate armor without defensive talent enhancement, as long as it is not very far away, there is no problem in shooting through it. For opponents, the repeater is better.

After Sun Guan got the single-shot crossbow, he didn't stay too long. He made a cursing expression, complained a few words about Yu Jin's stinginess, and prepared to leave.

"Be careful." Yu Jin said, looking at Sun Guan who was walking out of the tent.

"Ha, don't worry, I plan to have another son after this battle." Sun Guan smiled heartily.

　Brahmanism is indeed a wonderful thing. When it was used as a social division of labor in the early days, it was indeed very powerful. Later, Brahmanism became worse and worse, and it was not even as good as before. It is a bit like Confucianism. After that, it will go downhill, and even later it will not be able to keep up with the trend of the times.
