Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 47 Plate Armor
The spring breeze overnight is indescribable.

The next day, Zhang Qingfeng devoted himself to his busy work.

The factory building of the military factory has been built, and the machines have been installed and debugged, and they can start investing in the manufacture of weapons and armor immediately.

"Teacher, this machine is a [-]-jin forging press, which can completely forge any weapon and equipment."

One of Zhang Qingfeng's students named Song Yingxing took Zhang Qingfeng to visit the military factory and introduced him to the machines in the factory.

Song Yingxing used to be a manager of a machinery manufacturing factory. This time, after Li Bai took over the imperial court's big order for weapons manufacturing, Zhang Qingfeng transferred him here.

"This is a [-]-jin stamping machine, which can stamp the steel skin into the desired shape."

Song Yingxing introduced while walking.

"This is a cutting machine that cuts a sheet of steel into the desired shape and stamps it into shape."

"And this one is a punching machine, which can instantly punch small holes in steel sheets, which is much faster than drilling with a drill."

…………

Soon, Zhang Qingfeng saw all kinds of machines in the military factory. With these machines, not to mention [-] pairs of armors, [-] pairs would not be a problem, it would just take some time and labor.

"How is the training of the workers? Can they get started?" Zhang Qingfeng asked Song Yingxing.

"No problem, teacher. They used to make armor specially. Although the plate armor is different, they have samples and they know how to do it."

Song Yingxing said: "Before this, I had them study in the machinery factory for two months, and now they can easily operate many machines."

"That's good." Zhang Qingfeng nodded and said. "Now that you're ready, let's try making a pair of armor."

"Okay, I'll let them start now." Song Yingxing nodded in agreement.

Soon, the two returned to the original manufacturing workshop of a pair of armor.

In the beginning, it was a material workshop. At this time, the workshop was already full of steel sheets made of low-carbon steel, which were the raw materials for making plate armor.

Song Yingxing directed the workers to send the raw materials to the cutting workshop with carts.

In the cutting workshop, the steam engine is rumbling, and the workers operate the machine to cut pieces of iron into desired parts, and then send them to the grinding workshop.

After these parts are sent to the grinding shop, workers will grind away the sharp corners and burrs of the parts.

These parts are then sent to the press shop.

In the stamping workshop, the workers put the parts into the stamping mold according to the regulations, start the machine, and quickly process the parts into the desired shape.

Some complex parts, such as those that require additional processing, are sent to the finishing shop.

Then, all the parts will be sent to the punching shop to punch holes for the joints of the parts that need to be punched.

Then there is the heat treatment workshop, where workers need to heat the parts and then quench and temper them.

The heat-treated parts will enter the polishing workshop. After the parts come out of the polishing workshop, they will become very beautiful.

Then comes the paint shop, where workers apply an anti-rust paint to the parts.

Then there is the assembly workshop, where workers will assemble pieces of steel parts into a pair of plate armor, and then add lining, leather buckles and other things.

Finally, there is the packaging workshop. After a pair of secondary plate armor is completed, it will be packed in wooden boxes. In order to prevent the armor from being damaged during transportation, the inside will be filled with soft hay leaves.

The wooden box for packaging is also particular, the most important thing is that it is strong and waterproof.

In order to pack these armors, the ordnance factory ordered tens of thousands of wooden boxes from several wood factories in one go.

After waiting for a day, when the first pair of plate armor was produced, Zhang Qingfeng tried it on immediately.

"Not bad, very good, the joints are very flexible, and it doesn't affect the movement at all."

Zhang Qingfeng tried to do some movements, and then couldn't help but praise.

This plate armor almost covered the whole body, even the toes were protected.

The only inconvenience is that you can't wear it by yourself, you need auxiliary soldiers or teammates to help each other wear it.

"Come on, try to slash at me." Zhang Qingfeng said to a guard beside him after putting on the plate armor.

"This, sir, I dare not." Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, the guard immediately said with a bitter face.

"What are you afraid of? I have armor protection, and you can still hurt me." Zhang Qingfeng said without any worries.

"This, don't be afraid of anything, just be afraid of ten thousand..."

"So much nonsense, Ying Xing, come and chop me with his knife." Zhang Qingfeng looked at Song Yingxing who was at the side.

"Teacher, I don't dare." Song Yingxing said.

"Hurry up, if it's a student, come and kill me."

"Okay, okay."

Song Yingxing had no choice but to take the steel knife from the guard's hand.

Taking a deep breath, seeing that Zhang Qingfeng was ready, he raised his knife and slashed at Zhang Qingfeng.

Boom!After the sound of gold and iron clanging, Zhang Qingfeng didn't even move, let alone hurt.

"You're beating your back, you don't have any strength at all." Zhang Qingfeng said.

It turned out that Song Yingxing had a strong posture, but when he hit Zhang Qingfeng with the knife, he obviously withdrew his strength.

Not to mention Zhang Qingfeng was wearing armor, even if he didn't wear anything, at most he was slightly injured.

"Then, I'll use some strength." Song Yingxing nodded, and swung his knife again to slash at Zhang Qingfeng.

Bang!
This time, Song Yingxing used some strength to make Zhang Qingfeng's body shake.

"More force." Zhang Qingfeng checked, and found that the place where he was cut was only a little white mark and a little bit dented, and there was no damage at all.

"Okay." Song Yingxing also felt that he could not hurt Zhang Qingfeng, so he used a lot of force this time.

Bang.

The sound of gold and iron clashing sounded again, and Zhang Qingfeng took several steps back.

"Teacher, are you alright?" Seeing this, Song Yingxing hurried forward to help.

"It's okay, I'm okay." Zhang Qing Zhang Qing waved his hands.

Afterwards, he looked at the plate armor again, except for the white marks and deeper dents on the plate armor, the plate armor was still undamaged.

"Yes, this plate armor is qualified. Please help me take it off." Zhang Qingfeng nodded and said.

Soon, with the help of others, Zhang Qing took off the plate armor.

"Good stuff, really good stuff."

That night, the plate armor was delivered to Cao Pi.

Cao Pi will leave Yuyang tomorrow, and this can be regarded as a gift from Zhang Qingfeng.

The next day, Zhang Qingfeng, Li Bai and many officials in Yuyang City bid farewell to Cao Pi's departure.

"Sister Liu, are you really determined to leave with Cao Ziheng?"

On the other side, Cai Wenji held her good friend Liu Rushi's hand full of reluctance.

No one expected that this time Cao Pi had only been in Yuyang City for half a month, and he broke Liu Rushi's heart, and finally decided to leave with him.

"Well, I'm not young anymore, he promised Ming Media is marrying me, I..."

"I understand. I just hope you can take care of yourself along the way. When we have the opportunity to get together again, you will be as happy as you are now." Cai Wenji said.

"I will take care of myself, Master." Liu Rushi suddenly smiled.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful and I'll beat you up." Cai Wenji suddenly blushed to her ears when she heard the voice of "Master's wife."

"We are leaving, Madam, you and the teacher should take care of yourself." When the time for parting came, Liu Rushi said to Cai Wenji.

"In this case, when I say goodbye, I want to play a piece of music for you as a farewell."
