Chapter 969: The handcuffs are finalized, and the child is born.
"Chief, here are three types of handcuffs I made according to your requirements. They have the same structure and look similar, but the thickness and thickness of the iron chain are different. The heaviest one weighs exactly one catty, the middle one weighs eight taels, and the lightest one weighs six and a half taels. There is no difference in other aspects, but I am not sure about the sturdiness, so let the chief make the decision."
In the study room of Luo Chong's house, Ishida placed three pairs of handcuffs samples that had just been made on Luo Chong's desk and asked Luo Chong to check and finalize them himself.
"Well, it looks good, and the iron rings turn smoothly. Let's go and find someone outside to try it out." Luo Chong picked up the three pairs of handcuffs with satisfaction and took Ishida to the yard.
"Come here, three people." When he arrived at the yard, Luo Chong immediately called to the guards guarding the door.
"Chief, what do you want?" Three guards came to the door immediately and stood in front of Luo Chong waiting for orders.
"Come on, stretch out your hands, I'll give you something fun." Luo Chong said to them with a smile.
"Ah?!" Several guards were confused, not knowing what Luo Chong meant.
"What? Stretch out your hands, hurry up!"
"Oh"
The three of them stretched out their hands in confusion, and before they could react, Luo Chong suddenly took out something and smashed it on their wrists. With a sound of gears rubbing, one person's wrist was immediately handcuffed, and then before they could react, the other hand was also handcuffed by the same thing.
"Ah, this"
The handcuffed guard looked at the pair of shackles on his hands, scared to tears, and asked Luo Chong with a sad face.
"Chief, I, I didn't make any mistakes, why is this happening?"
"What are you thinking about? This is a new type of portable handcuffs, specially used to quickly restrain prisoners of war. I'm going to experiment with you three to see how good the quality and effect are. And you two, quickly stretch out your hands." Seeing that he was about to cry out of grievance, Luo Chong immediately explained unhappily.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I was scared to death. I thought I made some mistakes." The guard was relieved after hearing what Luo Chong said. He raised his hands and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeves.
Luo Chong rolled his eyes at him, and then quickly put handcuffs of different weights on the other two, and then continued.
"Hey, these are three different thicknesses of handcuffs, mainly to check their sturdiness. Now you three can start to break free. Except that you can't use tools, you can break free in any way you want. Use all your strength and see if you can break free."
"Oh, so that's it, good."
The three responded and really started to use all their strength to break free.
Hmm——————
The three of them were all in horse stance, gritting their teeth and holding their breath until their faces turned red. This posture can maximize the use of all the strength of the body.
At this moment, there was a slight click, and someone really broke free from the handcuffs.
"Chief, look."
"Hmm?"
Luo Chong immediately went over to take a look and found that the six-and-a-half-liang handcuffs with the thinnest and narrowest iron rings had a problem. However, the two iron rings of the handcuffs were still on the hands of the guard, but the iron chain in the middle was broken by him.
Luo Chong looked at his wrists again and found that they had been strangled with two deep red marks, blood red, so he asked.
"How do you feel? Tell me how you feel about this thing."
"Well, this handcuff is quite strong. The two iron rings feel tighter and tighter as you struggle. But the iron chain is not strong enough. It's too thin. Let alone us specially trained soldiers, I feel that any normal adult man who works regularly can break it open with a little strength in his hands. But the iron ring outside is a bit troublesome. If you don't use tools, you can't open it with your hands." The guard answered truthfully.
"Well, not bad, the summary is quite accurate. Okay, Ishida, you use the key to open it for him." Luo Chong nodded, then turned to Ishida and said.
"Yes."
Ishida came over immediately, took out the key and unlocked the handcuffs on the guard.
Luo Chong looked at the other two people again. They were still gritting their teeth and blushing as they pulled the handcuffs desperately, but they still couldn't break free.
"Alright, stop, I don't think you two can pull it free."
The two guards were relieved when they heard it, standing there breathing heavily innocently. One of them even had his wrist bleeding, showing that he really used all his strength, but still couldn't break free from the handcuffs. Instead, he tightened the iron rings of the handcuffs even more.
"Okay, Ishida, untie the handcuffs of the other two as well."
"Okay."
Ishida immediately stepped forward and untied the handcuffs of the other two as well.
Then Luo Chong left two people behind, asked the bleeding one to treat his wound, and then started a new experiment.
"Alright, you two turn around and put your hands behind your back, we'll try the latter one."
The two immediately obeyed the order and turned their backs according to Luo Chong's instructions. Luo Chong stepped forward again and handcuffed the two from behind, asking them to try to break free.
The two tried and soon said, "Chief, this time it's even worse. With your hands behind your back, you can't use any strength at all. A normal person definitely can't break free, even if he is born with supernatural power. Unless he has a pair of iron arms, he can't break free even if his hands are strangled."
"Well, that makes sense. Then you try to see if you can pinch your hands smaller and get out of the handcuffs." Luo Chong nodded, agreeing with the guard's point of view, and then suggested again.
"This, I tried, but it still doesn't work. This iron ring is movable and will automatically tighten. The more you pull, the tighter it gets. You can't get out at all." Another handcuffed guard also said.
"Then try to see if you can get around from under your buttocks to the front. You try."
The two listened to Luo Chong's order again and began to try. Perhaps because neither of them was a man with long arms like Liu Huangshu, the two guards couldn't move their hands from under their buttocks to the front anyway.
Then Luo Chong asked Ishida to open the handcuffs for the two again, and then continued the experiment. This time, he asked the two to lie on the ground, and then handcuffed their left hands and right feet behind their backs, and asked them to try to break free.
This time, the effect was the same as before. Just now, locking both hands behind their backs only made them unable to use their strength. This time, one hand and one foot were locked from behind, and they had difficulty even trying to get up, let alone trying to break free.
The test was basically done here, and Luo Chong asked Ishida to open the handcuffs for them again, and then Luo Chong took the two intact handcuffs and said to the two.
"You two should learn how to use this type of handcuffs. The biggest feature of this type of handcuffs is that they can be locked quickly and can restrain people in an instant. Its iron ring is divided into two parts. One half is dead and fixed, and the other half can rotate in one direction. When using it, just use the movable half to hit the target's hand, and it will automatically rotate a circle and then lock the wrist. The same is true for locking the feet.
"Then this is the key. When using it, insert it into the keyhole and turn it half a circle to the right. Then the lock of the iron ring will be released, and you can turn it in the opposite direction to open the iron ring.
"You two should learn how to use it, and then take it to other Jinwu Guards to see if these two pairs of handcuffs can adapt to everyone's wrists and ankles. Ours is a universal type, there is no such thing as large or small, so it must be able to adapt to everyone.
"Let's go now, I'll know the result in a while."
"Yes, please rest assured, leader, we'll go right away. "The two guards each took a pair of handcuffs and immediately took the order and left.
Luo Chong was also waiting with Ishida in the pavilion in the yard. The two of them drank tea and chatted about some topics about the research institute from time to time. Time passed quickly and before long, the two guards returned to the yard.
"Chief, the size is no problem. We have tried it on the guards on duty today and we can effectively restrain their hands and feet." The two guards came back and immediately reported the results to Luo Chong.
"Okay, leave the handcuffs, and you two can retreat." "Yes
! "The two put the handcuffs on the table and immediately bowed and left.
Then Luo Chong did not say anything, but took the two pairs of handcuffs to check their wear and tear. Although they had just undergone a series of violent experiments, the two pairs of handcuffs were still relatively intact, and there were no obvious faults. Only the iron chain in the middle of the previous pair of six and a half taels of handcuffs was broken, but there was still no problem with the handcuffs.
Luo Chong pondered for a moment and began to analyze in his mind. If you only look at the quality of the iron ring, then the lightest one of six and a half taels is still fine, but the iron chain in the middle of that pair of handcuffs is not good. If you just thicken the iron chain, it will directly increase the overall weight to more than seven taels.
If the weight of the improved finished product increases to more than seven taels, then there is no need to spend that effort. It is safer to use the eight-tael handcuffs in the middle. Anyway, they are not that heavy, and there is no damage after so many experiments, so Luo Chong finally made a decision directly.
"Let's settle on this pair of eight taels. If we use six and a half taels of iron rings and thick iron chains, the finished product will probably be seven or eight taels. There's no need to waste that energy on improving it. Just use this pair of eight taels of handcuffs as the final product, and follow the size of this sample. Don't change anything.
"After you go back, you must arrange production as soon as possible, the use of machinery, and materials. Submit your application, and I'll approve it for you. Before the end of this month, you must produce at least 2,500 pairs of eight taels of handcuffs. I want to equip them to the Shen Ce Guards and can't delay their training next month. This is the first batch.
"Then we will continue to expand production until the beginning of winter this year. Together with the number of handcuffs in the first batch, the total number of handcuffs produced cannot be less than 20,000 pairs. The more the better. This batch of handcuffs will be very useful. Don't delay me."
"Yes, don't worry, Chief. I will organize workers to produce them as soon as I go back. But Chief, how many of these handcuffs will be produced in the future? Is there a total number? If the total number is not large, we don't need to set up a special production line. Anyway, we won't need many. "Ishida first agreed to the production plan arranged by Luo Chong, and then asked in return.
"This total number, it is true that not many are needed. The batch I asked you to produce is mainly to equip the Shen Ce Guards for them to capture prisoners and slaves on the battlefield. They are used within our tribe, that is, they are distributed to the criminal investigation and public security systems of various counties to capture some criminals or restrain some detained criminals. On the whole, not many of these handcuffs are needed.
"And after the Shen Ce Guards return from the expedition, their handcuffs can be recycled and reused, so on the whole we don't need many. The total population of our tribe is about 500,000 to 600,000. There are probably tens of thousands of prisoners of war, slaves, and criminals together, so the total number of handcuffs in the future is estimated to be at most 60,000 pairs. So, you have an idea in your mind, you can arrange the production of the rest by yourself. Anyway, after this batch is produced, it is estimated that it will not be produced again for decades in a short period of time."
Luo Chong thought about it and explained.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Now I understand. If the total number is only 60,000 pairs, then there is no need to set up a special production line. It would be a waste to make them. It doesn't matter if the production is tight now, because it won't be needed later anyway." After hearing this, Ishida immediately understood what Luo Chong meant and expressed his thoughts.
"Well, anyway, you can do it yourself. I don't care what method you use. Anyway, you must complete the production task I assigned to you. You can't delay my training of the army next month, otherwise I will hold you accountable." Luo Chong nodded, and then instructed again.
"Yes, Chief, I promise to complete the task." Ishida immediately stood up and saluted and promised.
"Well, leave the one-pound handcuffs and keys, and take the eight-ounce pair back as a production sample."
"Yes."
Ishida responded again, and then went back to organize the production according to Luo Chong's arrangement. Now there are more than 20 days before the end of the month. To produce 2,500 pairs of handcuffs, that is, at least 100 pairs a day. It is indeed a bit difficult at the beginning, but it will be fast after a week. In short, it is not a problem to deliver by the end of the month.
After Ishida left, the training of the Shen Ce Guard continued. Luo Chong still stayed at home every day. In addition to approving the official documents submitted by various places every day, the rest of the time was spent teaching Luo Cheng and Luo Lan to read and study, and taking care of their mother.
Xiaodie and Zhan Ying's due date was getting closer and closer. Finally, half a month after the formal establishment of the Shen Ce Guard, Zhan Ying welcomed her second child. After some efforts, she gave birth to Luo Chong's third child.
Luo Chong's third child is a boy. Because of proper care and sufficient preparation, the birth of the child was smooth, and the mother and child were safe. In addition, the Han tribe also had a scale this time. Luo Chong specially asked someone to put the child on the scale to weigh it. It was more than six pounds, nearly seven pounds, which was considered a relatively healthy baby.
