Chapter 449: The Command of the Working People



Linglong developed a desire to win.

She just couldn't believe it. She was such a beautiful woman, and she had been following him all the time, so how could he not look at her straight in the eye?

But she is a woman.

Which man can resist a woman?

Linglong is a woman who grew up in a honeypot, pampered and always had everything provided for her. The most unbearable thing for her is being ignored and neglected.

What they like most is that everything focuses on themselves, which makes them happy.

Liu Feng turned back and walked right to Zhang Tiechui.

This blacksmith shop was opened at the instruction of Liu Feng.

Opening the door at this time made Liu Feng very curious. Logically speaking, Zhang Tiechui should be busy with a few people in the workshop.

Liu Feng looked inside and found Zhang Tiechui and several other people busy at work.

It seems that they are making iron tools, and various iron tools are scattered around.

Are you busy adding new goods to the blacksmith shop?

Liu Feng suddenly became angry. Didn’t he ask this guy to hurry up and prepare the steel cables for road construction?

Came here to make some extra money?

Liu Feng walked in calmly and coughed twice.

Zhang Tiechui turned around and saw Liu Feng, and immediately grinned.

"Hey, General, why are you here?"

Seeing Zhang Tiechui's playful look, he had no idea of ​​the seriousness of the matter.

Liu Feng immediately became angry and his face darkened.

"What are you doing here, kid?"

"Have you completed the tasks I assigned to you?"

"It's only this hour, and you're already here trying to earn money. Did I give you too little, or did I make you hungry?"

Because Liu Feng clearly remembered that Zhang Tiechui said last time that it would take several months to complete all the steel cables.

How long has it been?

Liu Feng didn't believe that he had already tied up all the steel cables last night.

Zhang Tiechui scratched his head awkwardly, then chuckled.

"General, you misunderstood me."

"I finished all the tightrope yesterday."

"I originally wanted to ask you to go and take a look, so I asked my men to look for you, but Madam said you weren't there, so I came here to pack some things."

"No way? Finished?"

"Didn't you say it would take a few months?"

Liu Feng's eyes suddenly widened.

"Here's what I was thinking about while I was building the cable: I'd been swinging the hammer so hard every day that I couldn't even lift my arms."

“I just wanted to make something myself.”

"I didn't expect it, I actually figured it out."

"Come on, General, I'll take you there now."

Liu Feng looked incredulous. Could it be that you have built an assembly line?

Is it that awesome?

Liu Feng was extremely surprised.

If this could produce some epoch-making technology, it would definitely be a great contributor to my future career.

Is it possible to draw wire?

But iron is a metal with relatively high hardness after all, which is different from gold and silver. As for gold and silver, silversmiths can draw wire, which everyone knows.

But to draw the iron wire?

With the equipment of this era, even if Liu Feng himself understood the principles, he couldn't do it.

Liu Feng was looking forward to it.

Went to the blacksmith workshop with Zhang Tiechui.

Liu Feng heard the sound of quenching from a distance.

When I got closer, I saw something amazing.

This guy actually did this and even blew off the roof of the blacksmith's workshop. You know, this was the house he had spent a lot of effort to build.

Looking again, I saw that the four walls of the roof supported an iron frame, and three huge molten iron crucibles were set up on the roof.

The molten iron crucible is filled with molten iron.

There is a small hole under the crucible. When the hole is opened, the molten iron will flow out through the hole.

The flowing molten iron will pass through a bamboo wrapped in mud. In order to prevent the bamboo from being ignited, bamboo is used to guide water at the entrance and use water for cooling.

In this way, when the molten iron falls to the ground, it will become a long steel cable with uniform texture.

Although the thickness of the steel cables produced in this way cannot be fully controlled.

But there is no need to worry. Just heat and temper one place and hammer it slightly, and the thick part will become thinner.

It can fully meet the standard thickness required by Liu Feng’s road construction project.

However, there are also disadvantages. Once the production of steel cables begins, everyone in the blacksmith workshop has to revolve around the three crucibles.

After all, once it is put into operation, all kinds of personnel must cooperate, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect.

Before, Zhang Tiechui was the only one in charge, and two apprentices would swing the hammers to complete the task, but now, more than a dozen people from the entire blacksmith workshop are needed to work together.

However, in this way, although many people use it, the efficiency has been improved by an unknown amount.

The steel cable made in this way can also control the size of the molten iron coming out of the crucible, can be made thinner, and three thinner steel cables can be twisted into one steel cable.

In this way, the quality and tensile strength are much better than the original.

Liu Feng nodded repeatedly after watching this.

"Okay, okay."

Liu Feng likes this thing. As expected, the wisdom of the working people is invincible.

However, this is the ceiling that an ancient person like Zhang Tiechui can come up with.

It is indeed not easy to transform the process into this way.

Although it is not as good as the wire drawing process used in the production of gold and silver utensils, this small device can greatly improve production efficiency.

The steel cable is not only used for road construction. It will be used in many places when the Tiger Roar Army goes out to fight or do other things in the future.

Apart from anything else, chain mail is made with thinner iron wire. Originally, the most difficult part of making chain mail was making the thin iron wire, but now it is no longer necessary.

At that time, the heavy cavalry of the Tiger Roar Army will no longer have to wear heavy iron armor. Their defense on the battlefield will not be reduced much, but their mobility can be greatly improved.

At that time, you can just put heavy armor on the horse.

After rushing into the enemy camp, they crushed them completely and indiscriminately.

A true human tank.

After all, everyone knows that the role of heavy cavalry is not actually to kill more enemies, but more importantly to attack the enemy's formation.

In addition, these thin iron wires can also be used to strengthen the defense of the Takenori troops.

Just imagine, if the Takenori troops formed a formation and everyone wore chain mail, how could the enemy charge in?

As for other troops, except for archers who need to maneuver quickly, all of them can use chain mail.

On this basis, Liu Feng even wanted to specially train a heavy crossbow unit. If they were to charge into the enemy camp wearing chain mail and shoot arrows at anyone they saw, who could stop them?

If I equip my powerful crossbow troops with chain mail, the enemy will have no choice but to watch.

If combined with defensive weapons such as tower shields, it would be an invincible army.
