The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 76 Visiting the Workshop
Every time I think about this, I can't help but sigh deeply.

I had no choice but to stop thinking about anything and just take one step at a time.

The carriage was urged to go very fast and soon came to the village.

I saw that the whole village was working enthusiastically, and as the mining progressed, it was getting faster and faster.

More and more people are coming to work here.

Lin Hai continued to ask the craftsmen to build houses to ensure that everyone had a place to live.

Lin Tiangui asked people to go directly to the workshop where the arrowheads were made.

Lin Hai is also waiting.

"I heard that armor-piercing arrows have been made. How is the situation?"

"It is indeed much sharper than ordinary arrows. As for the effect, it is difficult to confirm since we don't have armor here. Doesn't this notify the prince to come with armor?" Lin Hai replied with a smile.

"Okay, the armor has been brought over. Let's test it quickly. I must see with my own eyes how powerful the armor-piercing arrow is."

Lin Tiangui quickly ordered his men to bring over the prepared armor.

The quality of this kind of armor is quite good, and only those at the general level are qualified to wear armor of this quality.

The armor is much more defensive than ordinary soldiers.

Prop the armor on wooden sticks and hang it on a tree.

Lin Tiangui ordered his men to shoot at the armor with their military bows and arrows.

The soldier looked resolute and shot an arrow right in the center of the armor.

The arrow shot through the armor easily and penetrated.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this effect.

This kind of arrow is too powerful.

Even if ordinary armor-piercing arrows can shoot at most half of the arrow, it is already quite good if it can hurt the opponent.

Unexpectedly, the armor-piercing arrows here could easily penetrate the armor.

In this case, even if the opponent is wearing armor, he can be easily killed with a bow and arrow.

In this way, even the enemy's sophisticated equipment would be unable to withstand Daxia's armor-piercing arrows.

"The first arrow may have hit a weak spot, why not shoot a few more arrows to see the situation!"

Lin Hai handed over a few more arrows and said.

The archer was unequivocal, holding his bow and arrows and shooting in rapid succession.

The superb skills aroused cheers from everyone,
Three arrows were shot in total, and two arrows penetrated the armor easily.

Another arrow hit the breastplate, but even then it penetrated half of it.

Lin Tiangui ordered someone to take the armor and look at it carefully.

After shooting through the armor, it actually penetrated a small section of the other side.

"Awesome, how did you forge such a good arrow? I'm afraid even the craftsmen from the enemy's alien race will never be able to make such a good arrow."

Lin Tiangui only touched the arrow in his hand, with a look of shock on his face.

"Your Majesty, just say that you are satisfied with this kind of arrow!"

"Satisfied, so satisfied, beyond my expectation. The most important thing is whether you can make a million armor-piercing arrows within three months.

As long as it can be done, if I am allowed to lead the army, I will definitely be able to repel the aliens. "

Lin Tiangui said extremely excitedly.

The enemy's foreign cavalry is really powerful.

In addition to their excellent horses, their soldiers fought fiercely.

The main reason is that their armor is too sophisticated.

The bows and arrows of the Daxia archers could not penetrate their armor and could not cause fatal damage to them.

Now there is such a powerful armor-piercing arrow.

As long as the enemy dares to charge, the archers can deal a fatal blow to them.

No longer dare to attack the infantry formation easily.

"Three months is not a big problem. Now our output of refined iron is very high! Maybe we can make it in advance."

"Hurry up and show me the king!"

Lin Tiangui couldn't wait any longer.Lin Ruoxue was also very excited. She had been very smart since she was a child.

He also often helped Lin Tiangui handle military affairs.

Very knowledgeable about military matters.

Just these armor-piercing arrows meant that she knew very well how useful they were to the army.

Lin Ruoxue looked at Lin Hai, her eyes filled with joy and admiration. ,

His eyes never moved away from Lin Hai's face.

Lin Hai took them to the workshop.

It is transparent from all sides, just to dissipate the polishing dust as quickly as possible.

The people doing the polishing here are all women, and they cover their mouths and noses tightly.

"This is the place for polishing, which is the last step." Lin Hai explained.

The grinders all have a scooter with a pedal on one side, and the pedal can drive the wheel.

The wheel is a very fine whetstone.

It is very convenient to turn and polish arrows, and it is very fast.

Lin Tiangui was very surprised when he saw it.

You should know that when making arrowheads normally, the final step of polishing is also done, but it is all polished bit by bit by hand on the whetstone.

The speed is much slower than polishing like this.

"You are really clever in making this thing. It is not tiring to work in this way and it can be polished quickly." Lin Tiangui said in great surprise.

"So if you want to do it quickly, you have to use your brain more. If it's the same as before, not only will it be very tiring, but it will also be done slowly.

Using the old method to polish one arrowhead, we can polish almost a dozen here. "

"Yes, I will take one back when I go back. Let the Ministry of Industry also make a batch of them. It will be much easier to make arrowheads in the future."

"No problem, the prince can bring as much as he wants. But these tools must be kept strictly confidential and must not be stolen by the enemy's craftsmen.

Otherwise, once they learn it, they can also make a large number of arrows. "

Lin Hai warned with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, I know the importance!"

Lin Hai took them to the place where the mold was poured.

There are a large number of sand foundry molds here. Someone has pressed the molds in advance and then handed them over to the next process.

After boiling the molten iron, you can pour it in.

This is like an assembly line, very fast.

Remove the burrs of the arrowhead by grinding, and then start the carburizing heat treatment.

Lin Tiangui looked at the process one after another, although there were some that he couldn't understand.

But it can also be seen that this is very efficient.

It’s much faster than a blacksmith knocking them out one by one.

Even if the blacksmith tries his best, he can't make many arrows in a day.

And every time you pour here, you can get fifty.
The key is that all the processes are not complicated and even ordinary people can do it.

Finally, he took them to the forging workshop.

Before I even got close, I heard a loud sound, and the ground here was shaking slightly.

"It's such a loud sound. How big of a hammer do you have to swing to do this?" Lin Tiangui was already feeling frightened even before he walked in.

"My lord, have you seen the waterwheel outside? It's the hammer driven by the waterwheel that keeps hitting the iron ingots to forge them, turning the iron ingots into refined iron."

Lin Hai explained.

When you enter the workshop, you see a huge hammer hammering up and down.

There were several craftsmen nearby who used large pliers to turn the iron block over.

"The reason why we can produce large amounts of fine iron depends on this big hammer! It is not only very efficient but also very labor-saving.

Because the hammer is very heavy, the quality of the fine iron produced is better than that made by hand. "
