Chapter 35 External Armor
Thinking that he walked into his office.This is a very grand office. A large desk is equipped with a desktop computer produced by the Daming Royal Industrial Company and a boss chair made of real tiger skin. Although these things are old, they are Because of the relationship that is often maintained, it doesn't look too old now.

He went over and sat on the boss chair, which was very comfortable, at least Zhu Lei felt good.

Sitting on it, he realized that he had nothing to do all of a sudden. After thinking about it for a while, he called the housekeeper Zhu Ziyan and asked him to come over. Although the factory has started operation now, all the products produced are for his own factory. It seems that there is no order or production yet.

Although the main machine is going to be produced now, it is impossible for the factory not to produce products all the time. After all, when working for myself, it will never be finished. After all, the main machine can be continuously upgraded.

After a while, the butler came to his office.

"Master! What do you want from me?" Zhu Ziyan asked after he came to the office.

"Come and sit down and tell me, the housekeeper doesn't know if you and Lao Wang have looked at the insulating metal I gave to Mr. Zhang last time. Can it be used as the insulating material on the mother machine?" Zhu Lei looked at the housekeeper and wondered. They asked if they had seen the recipe before. After all, they were busy these days, so Zhu Lei didn't know and had to ask his housekeeper Zhu Ziyan.

"Oh! Master! The formula you gave to the old man last time, the two brothers, the old man and the old Wang, have already discussed it, and they smelted it a little while testing the metallurgical equipment a few days ago, and found that it was produced according to the formula of this alloy. The insulation performance of the alloy exceeded our expectations, and this alloy can not fuse at a temperature of [-] degrees, and the strength of this alloy is not comparable to that of non-metallic materials such as plastic or rubber. It won't affect the performance of the main machine, and it can even be improved. I've already made arrangements to start smelting these materials after the smelting of the special steel needed for the main machine is completed." Zhu Ziyan replied after sitting down.

"Okay! Butler, I have no other intention but to ask. After all, I have been a little busy these days and I have forgotten about this matter. Fortunately, you have already handled this matter. Otherwise, when I remember I don't know when it will be." Zhu Lei said because he was afraid that he would think too much.

"Master! I'm your housekeeper, and I should do all these things. As long as you ordered me to do it, no matter whether you have forgotten it or not, I will try my best to do it."

"Good housekeeper! By the way, I asked you to come here to ask. We have already started work and it won't take long. Our first machine tool is about to be manufactured. I don't know what kind of military products we will manufacture first. "Zhu Lei asked suspiciously.

"Master! We think that the first thing to produce is our old products and various artillery. After all, our factory was famous for artillery in the past. Although the technology is now much more advanced than before, our original artillery is not yet placed. It’s too backward, even now the Ming military still has many troops that still use the artillery we produced before, and now the export of these artillery is no longer restricted, so I think it’s safer to produce artillery first, after all, besides artillery Besides, our factory didn’t have any famous products before.” The butler replied.

"Housekeeper! I don't know what you think of the alloy technology in our factory?" Zhu Lei didn't directly take the words of the housekeeper Zhu Ziyan, but asked about alloys.

"Master! When it comes to alloy technology, I'm not talking big. There is no company or individual on earth that can surpass us. Even if our factory's technology is ten years ago, it's not like they can match it." Yes. Even if they are given ten years, they will not be able to reach our current level." The butler said.

Zhu Lei knew that what he said was true. After all, the technology of these alloys had already reached the level of intermediate civilization. In terms of the current overall imperial examination level of the earth, these alloy formulas of Zhu Lei's military factory were compared to other alloy formulas. Enterprises must be at least over 100 years old.

"Then, butler, have you ever thought about using an ultra-high-strength alloy as the armor of various armored vehicles?" Zhu Lei said regretfully.He really didn't understand why such a powerful alloy should not be used as armor.

"Master! It's not that we haven't thought of using it as armor for various vehicles. We have tried it before, but we have no way to weld these special alloys produced by our factory under the current situation, so we have to give up. So our These special metals simply cannot be processed into armor plates for various vehicles," said the steward.

"Eh! So you didn't want to make these alloys into external armor?" Zhu Lei asked again!It's really strange that it can't be used as the main armor, but it should be able to be used as an external armor. After all, the external armor does not need all kinds of welding at all. It only needs to be hung on various vehicles, and the production of the external armor is also very convenient. , the installation is also simple.

"External armor? What is that? I haven't heard of it, young master. Where did you hear it, young master? Is it this kind of armor? Why haven't I heard of it?" Zhu Ziyan asked puzzled.

"Um~! My own idea, as the name suggests, is to hang armor modules on the outside of various vehicles, so I thought of it this way, making those ultra-high-strength alloys in our factory into pieces of rectangular steel plates , and then hang it on various armored vehicles to play the role of double-layer protection. Do you think it is possible?" Zhu Lei was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he found that there was no concept of external armor or additional armor in this world. The configuration of armored vehicles is whatever it is when they are produced. Except for adding machine guns and other weapons to these vehicles, there has never been any other armor added. No wonder the butler will ask such a question.

"Master! I haven't seen this before, so I don't know how to answer you. Why don't we get one and try it. After all, there has never been such an external armor in the world." Zhu Ziyan replied .

"Oh! Butler, wait a moment and arrange for the masters of the metallurgical group to cast a batch. Let's go to the proving ground to test it in the afternoon to see if it works." Zhu Lei said to him.

But Zhu Lei is absolutely confident about this. After all, it is not uncommon for Jing to install external armor in the world he came to. It would be strange if armored vehicles did not install these in wartime.

"Okay! Young master, I'll make arrangements now. Is there anything else?"

"No, you can make arrangements!" Originally, he wanted to hold a meeting to talk about these things after lunch, but it seems that he doesn't need it now.
