Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "The imitation failed. We have some problems with both the casting technology and the smelting technology. On the one hand, it is not easy to make suitable materials into such a shape. On the other hand, the strength of the material that can be made into this shape is not up to standard.  "Plasang said slightly embarrassed.  Speaking of which, Niranjan came to Prasang with a three-edged sword and asked him to find someone to imitate it. Prasang didn't take it to heart at first and just asked someone to explain it. If Niranjan hadn't asked him every three days,  Prasang was afraid that he had forgotten this matter.  "Can't even imitate it?" Niranjan said noncommittally, and Prasang felt a heavy pressure inexplicably.  At that time, I snatched back three three-edged stabbing swords. A general would know the effect of this kind of thing after using it twice, so he brought it back and asked the craftsmen brought from the north to imitate it. After the craftsman took it and looked at it, he directly said that imitation could not be done.  , Niranjan later gave it to Prasang.  ¡°After all, the level of craftsmanship is still higher on the Brahmin side, as is blacksmithing, casting, etc. After all, the essence of Brahminism at the beginning was a specialized social division of labor.  The Vaishya class has professional craftsmen, and they are the kind of professional craftsmen from generation to generation. Each generation is a professional who does this work. Whether it is technically speaking or in terms of experience, the average level is higher than that in the north.  The craftsmen must be high.  Even if the Brahmins themselves had not fallen, this kind of stable inheritance system at the professional level would not have any problem at all in producing first-class technical craftsmen, not to mention the kind of talented craftsmen. However, the Brahmins are bad at it, and that is what it is now.  The seed has come to fruition.  Of course, during this period, almost all countries were poor in this aspect, and Kushan naturally had nothing to lose in this aspect.  The professional craftsmen of Vaishya were quite reliable even at the world level at that time. After all, during this period, whether it was Rome, which represented the light of European civilization, or the Han Dynasty, which was the light of civilization in the Central Plains, professional division of labor was  I just had a theory.  In this case, Niranjan was sure that he could not handle it, so he handed it over to Prasang and asked him to hurry up and produce a batch. As soon as Prasang took over the job, he notified Vaishya to come quickly as usual.  Work.  Of course Vaishyas must try their best to fulfill the requirements of Kshatriyas, but there is nothing Vaishya can do if their skills are not up to standard. Even Chen Xi only made the triangular pyramid stabbing sword in the past few years.  Because of the specialized social division of labor among Brahmins in ancient India, the level of iron smelting points can be regarded as the best of its time, basically at the same level as that of the Han Dynasty.  No matter how high the level of the problem is, as long as it still lingers at the level of cast iron, that's it. You must know that Chen Xi has already been engaged in steelmaking, or even alloy steel.  Even though temperature curing can correct shortcomings in many aspects, due to the different ratios of structural elements in alloy steel, Chen Xi has selected metals that can be cured to achieve the highest strength, toughness, wear resistance, heat resistance and other properties.  .  Although in this era, these countries that can be called the light of world civilization have almost all produced steel products, but the results of fighting for face and experience are compared with the steel smelting that Chen Xi has almost completed in scientific research.  The gap is really big.  This is why the Brahmin craftsmen, after working hard for so long, still can't come up with the desired finished product.  Faced with the specifications of the stabbing sword that the Kshatriyas need, they either need to use steel. However, on the one hand, the output of steel is not enough, and on the other hand, there is no way to quickly make a triangular pyramid stabbing sword out of steel. It can only be made slowly by hand, which is time-consuming and time-consuming.  force.  Either use cast iron. In terms of cast iron, by this period, whether it was the Han Dynasty, Rome, Parthia and Kushan, they had reached a very high level, and the output was guaranteed. The professional craftsmen of the Vaishya class could guarantee the quantity.  , the problem is that cast iron is not strong enough.  "Can't it be done?" Niranjan didn't want to listen to these things, he just wanted results.  "If you really want to force production, it can be produced, but it can only be produced at an extremely slow speed, or the production is not strong enough." Prasang also said helplessly.  Because Niranjan asked repeatedly, Prasang did not dare to neglect. He had already gone to Vaishya in person and successfully scared the craftsmen half to death. However, originally Vaishya did not dare to deceive the upper castes, seeing the other party in person.  Come on inspection, don't you know that this matter is very important.  It's just that no matter how important the matter is, if it can't be solved, it can't be solved. The technical problems are there. If it can't be solved, it can't be solved. Even if you kill them, you can't solve it. "Is there a finished product?" Niranjan can't say anything, Prasang is a person.  As a commander, he is average, but as a logistics manager, he is still very qualified, and there is really no need to cheat himself in this aspect, so Niranjan adjusted and changed the topic.  ? ?La Sang quickly sent someone to bring a few, some made of cast iron and some made of steel. Niranjan quickly discovered the difference after getting it. He used the steel three-edged sword a few times and said, "  Isn't this very well made? " "It's too difficult to make. To arm a legion, it takes at least the same number of old blacksmiths to work for about ten days, and waste is also a problem," Prasang said helplessly at this speed.  And the yield rate, save it, no one will take the job if you are not mentally ill.  Who can have the same number of craftsmen as the number of legions, and this thing is completely equivalent to being forcibly planed into this shape, and steel is still a very rare material in this era, cast iron is just that, steelmaking, Brahman is still far away from heaven  long distance.  "It means it can't be done?" Niranjan asked, weighing the rapier in his hand.  "If you don't need much, I can organize the manpower to make a batch, but the problem is that it's not worth it." Although Prasang was more afraid of Niranjan, he still said what he should say about this very practical logistics work.  Things are really not easy to do.  "As much as I can, if I want." Niranjan looked at Prasang and said.  After all, the shield guard thing is so disgusting. As far as Niranjan feels, there is no way to kill without it. Of course, Niranjan doubts that even with this thing, he may not be able to penetrate the opponent's big shield, but at least he can  Easily pierce the opponent's plate armor.  "Fifty handles is the limit." Prasang said awkwardly.  Niranjan had an expression of "Are you kidding me?" As a result, although Prasang was in awe of Niranjan, he did not change his tune. Niranjan knew that this was probably the case.  "What can you do with fifty handles?" Niranjan said with a dark face.  "If we want to arm a complete Padujia regiment, which means eight thousand guns, based on my understanding of the overall situation of the country, I am afraid that it will take our entire country to organize manpower to achieve it." Although Prasang was intimidated by Niranjan  It was embarrassing, but it also told the truth.  "Forget it, forget it, you go recruit young people and let me calm down." Seeing this, Niranjan really had nothing to say and sent Prasang away directly.  After Prasang left, Niranjan looked at the three-edged sword placed on the table with a look of helplessness. He originally thought he had gotten a bargain, but he didn't expect that he was stuck in production.  [It seems that this thing must be given up, but if you think about it, the Han army did not seem to have too much equipment last time, and only a few dozen people had this thing. It seems that Prasang was right, this thing  The production is too difficult.  ] Niranjan thought about the situation last time and naturally gave a very reasonable reason.  While Nilanjan was thinking like this, the shield guards under Sun Guan were already practicing thrusting with a three-edged sword each, and they also hung a three-edged sword on their legs as a spare.  Sun Guan got back 10,000 of these things from Yu Jin in one go, and he was going to give the opponent a hard one. The production is difficult and the quantity is small?  Just kidding, Chen Xi just has a warehouse full of these things. No matter if they are effective or not, he will produce them if he has spare capacity.  "Lian Yue, take someone to seize the Lian Nu. Follow me to find the rules." Sun looked at the shield guards practicing in the camp and was deeply satisfied. He turned to greet Lian Yue.  Lian Yue did not ask the reason, and directly confiscated the five hundred and ten arrow crossbows of the pro-army, and then led his people to follow Sun Guanqian to find Yu Jin.  "Wen Ze, give me a batch of one thousand single-shot crossbows." Sun Guan pushed open the door curtain and started shouting before he saw Yu Jin.  "The crossbow is gone." Yu Jin replied without raising his head. The two parties were so familiar that there was no need to use official language.  "Give me a thousand from your personal guards." Sun Guan said unceremoniously.  "" Yu Jin was silent for a while, then he understood what Sun Guan meant, "Thank you very much." "Thank you for what?" Sun Guan pretended to be dumbfounded, "You don't know how powerful the Ten Arrow Repeating Crossbow is.  Wearing the armor of Paduo warriors, sometimes they can only be injured but not killed. Give me a thousand single-shot crossbows. This thing is used to deal with plate armor." Yu Jin didn't say anything more and quickly changed it.  He ordered the crossbow to be sent to Sun Guan, and then took the repeating crossbow away. Although Sun Guan was indeed here to strengthen Yu Jin's combat effectiveness, Sun Guan was not joking about one thing. The power of the ten-arrow repeating crossbow was too small for the Paduo warriors.  The defensive elite unit such as the regiment is indeed somewhat powerless.  However, this kind of defensive unit is not strong enough. Facing ordinary chain armor, scale armor, and even plate armor without enhanced defensive talents, as long as it is not very far away, there is still no problem in shooting through it. For Yu Jin, he is about to face  For the right opponent, the repeating crossbow is better.  After that, Sun Guan didn¡¯t stay long after getting the single-shot strong crossbow, and made a cursing expression.??, after complaining for a few words that Yu Jin was still so stingy, he prepared to leave.  "Be careful." Yu Jin said as he looked at Sun Guan who was walking out of the tent.  "Ha, don't worry, I'm going to have another son after this battle." Sun Guan said with a hearty smile.
