Chapter 448 Which Armor Smelting Technology Is Stronger?Came to Kaifeng to find... (Second update)
Chapter 447

"My lady, since ancient times, the art of smelting has always been to get pig iron, and then after frying iron or pouring steel, you can get wrought iron or a small amount of refined steel. I have never heard of it. You can directly use pig iron and Iron ore can be directly smelted into refined steel..."

"This is so, so shocking to me." The person in charge of the Armament Supervision looked at Wang Yang who was standing in the field holding a steel plate and smiling, if it weren't for this guy The winning rate is too high, the person in charge really wants to ask whether Wang Yang is bragging.

"My lord, it's normal for you to have such thoughts. Before Xiaguan developed this Yuanyou steel technique, it was indeed almost impossible to smelt steel. However, after having this Yuanyou steelmaking technique, for Xiaguan As far as you are concerned, whether you want hard steel or soft steel, Xiaguan has a way to directly smelt it..."

Immediately, the court ministers who more or less had some basic knowledge of smelting couldn't help being in a collective uproar.Especially those generals who like to juggle swords, they are even more excited and want to jump in front of Wang Yang to ask whether this thing is real or not.

Not to mention those people, even Zhao Xu, who was full of confidence in Wang Yang, felt a little nervous, mainly because the news was really shocking.

"My lords, I am willing to testify for Mr. Wang. Every sentence he said is true, because Xiao Wang has been following Mr. Wang these days, and saw with his own eyes how Mr. Wang was so heartbroken there day and night. Try to improve the bituminous coal ironmaking method that I have used for hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, it really only needs to use pig iron and iron ore powder to smelt high-carbon steel according to the needs, which is what we used to call refined steel, or low-carbon steel, which is what we used to call soft steel... ..."

And the two green-robed officials from the Military Weapons Supervision also jumped out, excitedly willing to use their heads as a guarantee. Wang Dacai has indeed invented incredible smelting and coking techniques. Iron and steel smelting will definitely step onto a new level.

With Zhao Ji, a loyal fan of Wang Yang, here to cheer for him, and the two military supervisory officials willing to use their lives as a guarantee, now, there are fewer and fewer people who really have doubts.

After picking up the heavy and shiny steel piece in his hand, Zhao Xu glanced away. "These are refined steels smelted directly from pig iron and iron ore powder? Huyanqing's family, Yang Qing's family, and Pan Qing's family, all of you come and see if this is high-quality refined steel."

These military officials couldn't bear it for a long time. After hearing this, they quickly walked to the big wooden box, and took out pieces of heavy stainless steel from there, all of them couldn't help but shine.

"This, this seems to be directly smelted. Look at it, there is no pattern that often appears in fried steel or poured steel that you have seen in the past..."

"This is too amazing, Mr. Wang, did you really make it out of pig iron and that iron ore?"

"Naturally, how dare the officials make fun of such a question." Wang Yang replied confidently.

And although the other ministers were embarrassed to come forward, they all stretched their necks hard, and then chatted there in a low voice.

The eunuch took two pieces of coke and a piece of fine steel, and respectfully sent them behind the curtain for the Empress Dowager to appreciate.

After looking at it for a while, Gao Taotao didn't understand, but after listening to the comments of those courtiers, it seemed that if what Wang Yang said was true, it seemed that he had really done some remarkable things.

At this moment, Zhao Xu pointed at another box that had not yet been opened and asked Wang Yang. "Wu Shan, the things over here..."

"Your Majesty, here are the ministers, His Royal Highness Duan Wang, these two officials of the weapons inspection, and nearly fifty skilled craftsmen. It took only ten days to develop the most powerful weapon in the Song Dynasty. The strongest and lightest Song Yuan You Jia." Wang Yang announced loudly after nodding to the two imperial guards who were still guarding the box.

"Great Song Yuanyoujia?... This name is actually much more imposing than that of Xixia Warren Jia." Hearing this, Gao Taotao couldn't help raising his gray eyebrows and said.

At this time, one of the guards took out a helmet and a pair of iron boots from the box, while the other took out the breastplate worn on his upper body.

Seeing the shining silver breastplate, Zhao Xu and all the civil and military personnel in the hall could not help but subconsciously narrow their eyes slightly.

"Hey, this...is this our Great Song Yuanyou Armor?" Zhao Xu looked at the shiny silver helmet and the silver shiny breastplate with astonishingly bright eyes.

"Why is this piece of armor so big? Isn't it afraid of damage?" The [-]-year-old Lord Huyan couldn't help but stepped forward to flick the piece of breastplate with his fingers, only to hear a metallic sound in the hall. sounded.

"My lord, this Song Yuanyou Armor not only surpasses the Xixia Wart Armor in defense, but also weighs only a little over fifty catties."

"...Is this impossible? The lightest full-body armor in Song Dynasty must weigh at least sixty catties to withstand the shooting of two hard bows, and the heaviest spearman infantry armor weighs seventy catties." The total weight of Xixia's warts is about [-] catties, and you actually said that your armor's defense is better than Xixia's warts?" Those old generals looked crazy. He looked at Wang Yang in front of him.

"If you old generals don't believe it, you can try it out." Wang Yang didn't care about the eyes of these old guys, and continued to say with a very confident look.

"I have a few sets of Xixia wart armors in my collection. You can give them a try. Ma Shang, please quickly take someone to get all the Xixia warts armor I have." Zhao Xu's eyes lit up. , he really wanted to give it a try and see which one had the best armor making technology.

Seeing that Zhao Xu sent people to retrieve the armor hidden in the palace, these old generals were speechless. Everyone could only wait and see.

But at this time, Zhao Ji reached into the box again and took out two steel plates. "Old generals, please take a look. This piece is a piece of armor that hasn't been forged yet, and this piece is a piece of armor after forging. You can take a good look at it, old generals..."

At this time, the military inspector couldn't bear it any longer, so he simply walked over, and after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but gasped. "This has reduced the thickness by two-thirds, and it seems to be more than that."

"How is this possible... but in ten days, how can you make armor so quickly?"

"Your Excellency doesn't believe it, so please take a look at these pieces of nails, my lord. We were worried that some people would think we were talking nonsense, so we specially forged half of these pieces of nails, and the thickness of the other half, and The thickness that has already been forged is stored on this piece of armor, so it will be more intuitive..." Zhao Ji, the frightened little prince, couldn't help reaching into the box again and took out a half-forged piece, half of which was still kept The original thickness of the nail plate.

"...This, such a huge hammer mark, what kind of strongman can use it..." General Hu Yan couldn't help asking, taking a breath.
