"Master, Mr. Mo and Miss Mo are here~! Oh, Young Master Yan is here too!"

Around Shen Shi, Song Xiaosi led Mo Huai and Mo Lingwei to Li Zexuan's office in the workshop. Miraculously, Yan Shaoning followed behind Mo Lingwei. Li Zexuan was amazed, and secretly thought that Yan Shaoning had already taken care of him. Is the old man Mo Huai?

"Captain, I heard that you have something to tell us?"

Mo Huai cupped his hands and said.

Li Zexuan hurriedly greeted: "Mr. Mo, Miss Mo, please take a seat. I am looking for you this time because I plan to start a new round of technological innovation in our workshop, which involves many aspects and needs your help! "

"Technical innovation? That little... why didn't you call me, Mr. Shan?"

Yan Shaoning was a little dissatisfied when he heard the words.

Li Zexuan said angrily, "I didn't call you, didn't you come here yourself? Besides, I called Miss Mo, doesn't it mean I called you too?"

"Hey! That said..."

Yan Shaoning couldn't help but laugh, but Mo Lingwei blushed and twisted Yan Shaoning's arm fiercely.

"Cough cough!"

Mo Huai's eyes are so sharp, how could he not be aware of these two people's small movements? Immediately, his face darkened, he coughed heavily, and said, "Master, if there is anything we need our father and daughter to do, you can say it directly, Mo must do his best!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Let's all sit first! Let's sit down and talk slowly!"

A few people sat around a glass coffee table according to the words, thanks to Li Zexuan's office being large enough, even if seven or eight people were sitting, it would not seem crowded. After everyone sat down, Li Zexuan took out a few drawings, spread them out, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, at present, we not only have dams, but also waterwheels. In addition to irrigating farmland, this waterwheel can also provide power for machines. I don't need to say this, and you should all understand. Next, we must first What they do is to build a hydraulic press, which is the blueprint of the hydraulic press.

After the stamping machine is completed, it is necessary to transform the waterwheel into a power device that can be connected with the stamping machine. It is nothing more than adding some crank connecting rods for transmission, which is very simple! After the transformation, the stamping machine can be docked with the waterwheel. Driven by the waterwheel, it can replace manpower and repeatedly forge the steel, and its impact force is almost the same every time. For precision forging, this thing The performance exerted is by no means comparable to human beings! "

Mo Huai looked at the drawing seriously, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Shan Chang, there is no problem with the stamping machine and the waterwheel modification. These two things are covered by the old man!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said: "I also have this intention. Mr. Mo of the Bahe Dam has been involved from beginning to end. Now that the hydraulic machine tool is hosted by you, it is the most suitable! This matter, everyone in the workshop will I will do my best to assist you!"

"Thank you, Chief!"

Mo Huai cupped his hands and said.

Li Zexuan smiled and then said: "Brother Zhang, after this hydraulic punching machine is completed, you will bring all the blacksmiths in the workshop to produce the plate armor I gave you. This kind of plate armor requires at least five Thousands of sets!"

At the beginning, Li Er talked to him and said that he wanted to expand the Xuanjia Army from 3,000 people to 5,000 people. After the expansion, the Xuanjia Army would also need to update its ordnance equipment, and all these weapons and equipment must be provided by Qiqu. It is supplied by the Pavilion Workshop and must be made of vanadium steel!

"Five... five thousand sets? Lord Hou, did I hear it right?"

Zhang Hongsheng shook his body and almost fell off the chair. He opened his mouth wide and said with a look of astonishment.

The rest of the people in the office also looked at Li Zexuan in shock, obviously everyone was shocked by the news that Li Zexuan was going to build 5,000 sets of armor.

"Captain, why are you building so many armors? If anyone finds out, then..."

After the shock, Mo Huai asked worriedly.

Making ordnance without authorization is a capital crime!

Li Zexuan said lightly: "Mr. Mo, don't panic, this is a task assigned by His Majesty, and it is not a violation of the law!"

After Mo Huai heard this, he felt a little at ease.

Li Zexuan looked at Zhang Hongsheng again and said, "Brother Zhang, these five thousand sets of plate armor are not for you to make alone, you just need to teach other craftsmen how to forge!"

Zhang Hongsheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Master Hou, I didn't mean it that way, I was just worried about the 5,000 sets of armors. Isn't it a waste to make armor?"

Li Zexuan couldn't help laughing and said, "You don't have to worry about this, Ben Hou now has iron ore, coal mine, and vanadium ore. Besides, the iron ore of the eldest grandson's family can also support our workshop. Even if we build another 5,000 sets of plate armor, Ben Hou can also bear it!"

The Northern Turks are the real confidants of the Tang Dynasty. Li Zexuan has a great career in the Tang Dynasty, and his family lives very happily. He is determined not to allow the Turks to destroy his current good life. What's the point of him paying some steel?

Li Er's strategy is undoubtedly extremely wise. On the vast prairie, the role of the infantry is very limited. Only the cavalry with strong mobility can gallop freely on the prairie and achieve the effect of winning by surprise. The Xuanjia Army is a great force. The ace of the Tang cavalry trump card, Li Zexuan wants these five thousand mysterious armies to be transformed into five thousand Iron Man, rampant and invincible in the Turks' old nest!

At that time, a makeover

The Xuanjia Army will surprise everyone in the world!

Only then did Zhang Hongsheng understand the true background of the Tricky Pavilion workshop. He clasped his fists and said: "That being the case, then Zhang will go all out, lead all the blacksmiths in the workshop, and use the shortest possible time to replace Hou Ye. Build five thousand sets of plate armor!"

Li Zexuan nodded and said, "That's very good! Before the hydraulic punching machine is made, Brother Zhang can take a blacksmith to build 5,000 horse lances, all of which must be made of vanadium steel! Build a batch of horseshoes!"

The weapons used by the cavalry in the Tang Dynasty were generally horse lances, which were longer than swords. It was the most convenient to stab people when the horses charged. If it was made of vanadium steel, it would undoubtedly increase its sharpness. For those Turkic soldiers wearing simple leather armor, it is simply chopping melons and vegetables!

As for horseshoes, after his family's big white horseshoe was injured last year, he nailed a horseshoe to Dabai, but it has not been promoted, because at that time there was a lack of iron!

According to academic research, in the world, the horseshoe first appeared in ancient Rome, about the first century BC. This kind of horseshoe, either copper or iron, conforms to the lower part of the horseshoe, but it is not the same as it is now when it is fixed. In addition to using short nails, it also needs to be tied with leather, which is somewhat similar to the "Roman shoes" worn by ancient Roman soldiers, so it is also called "horse sandals".

In the frescoes of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, China, there is a picture of "Nailed Horseshoe", which was built in the 4th year of Kaihuang of Sui Dynasty (AD 584) on the cave wall of Cave 302. From the picture, a horse is standing, tied to a tree, and a person stands behind it, holding the right hind limb of the horse, turning the hoof upside down. The hoof is painted with an oval shoe, as if the palm is about to be released.

Therefore, some people speculate that China had horseshoes in the Sui Dynasty, but this claim has been lacking archaeological evidence to support, and according to the Southern Song Dynasty Zhao Rushi in his book "Zhufan Zhi" records that the horses of the Dashi Kingdom "use iron for Shoes", I think it is very novel, which shows that horseshoes were not very popular in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Indeed, from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, no horseshoes were found in the Central Plains, and it was not until the Yuan Dynasty that horseshoes began to be used on a large scale! As for why there is a Sui Dynasty "nailed horseshoe" in the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, only God knows!

"Horseshoes? What's this?"

Zhang Hongsheng couldn't help but wonder.

Li Zexuan took out a drawing and explained: "It is the shoes for horses to prevent the horse's shoes from cracking due to long-term wear and tear, which can greatly reduce the loss of flattery! Look at the big white horse in Ben Hou's house, the horseshoes on its hooves have been installed for almost a year!"

Zhang Hongsheng reacted and said with joy: "Put shoes on horses? This is a good way, Lord Hou! Zhang did not know how many horses were maimed due to cracked feet before. With this horseshoe, it can be well prevented. The horse's hoof is strained!"

Everyone was amazed for a while, Yan Shaoning couldn't help saying:

"Tsk tsk! Why didn't I find out that Dabai in your family was wearing shoes before?"

Li Zexuan rolled his eyes and said angrily, "That's your blindness~!"

"Push!"

Mo Lingwei couldn't help laughing out loud, but when she saw Mo Huai's face darkening, she quickly stopped smiling.

"Oh! That's right! In addition to the horseshoes, you will make a batch of horse armors at that time. It doesn't need to be too thick, as long as it can withstand ordinary swords!"

Li Zexuan looked at Zhang Hongsheng and said again.

Regarding horse armor, leather vests already appeared during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. During the Three Kingdoms period, full sets of horse armors began to appear. This thing does not require drawings at all. Li Zexuan believes that with Zhang Hongsheng's knowledge, he can definitely make it.

Hearing this, everyone could not help but gasp. Vanadium steel armor, vanadium steel horse lance, horseshoe, horse armor, is Li Zexuan planning to build a super steel cavalry armed to the teeth?

They believe that such a terrifying cavalry, even if the Turkic wolf cavalry encounters it, will feel a headache, because this is an invincible cavalry that has achieved the ultimate in attack and defense!

"Gudong!"

No matter how stupid Zhang Hongsheng was, he understood that Li Zexuan was going to play a big game. He swallowed and said with difficulty, "Yes! Lord Hou!"

Li Zexuan nodded, he took out the wind-chasing sword, handed it to Zhang Hongsheng, and said, "Okay, there is nothing left for you to do next, take this wind-chasing sword first!"

Zhang Hongsheng looked surprised, but now he didn't dare to pick it up with one hand, but took it with both hands "strengthly", then bowed to Li Zexuan and said, "Thank you for your trust! After the wind sword is returned, Zhang will go down!”

"Um!"

Li Zexuan nodded and hummed.

In other words, he is not worried about Zhang Hongsheng running away with his sword. After all, Zhang Yajiu's reputation is in control there. If he can run, a monk can't run away from the temple, right?

"Mr. Wang, Miss Mo, although the generator of the hydropower station can operate normally, the copper core used in the coil is not pure copper, which will greatly affect the power generation efficiency of the generator, so I plan to manufacture the second generation. Generators, upgrade existing generators with high-purity copper cores!"

After Zhang Hongsheng left, Li Zexuan looked at Wang Ji and Mo Lingwei and said.

"High-purity copper core? Shan Chang, there are inevitably impurities in this copper. How can we purify it?"

Wang Ji frowned and asked.

Mo Lingwei also set her sights on Li Zexuan. Although she is good at physics, she is definitely not weak in chemistry. After all, smart people learn everything quickly. She has read the "Chemistry" textbook of the academy more than once!

Li Zexuan replied in a deep voice:

"Electrolytic refining! Now that we have electricity, we will use electrolytic refining to remove impurities in blister copper and obtain high-purity brass! The specific steps are also very simple. The alum aqueous solution is used as the electrolyte, and the electricity is energized, and the copper on the anode dissolves and enters the solution, while the copper in the solution is precipitated on the cathode.

In this process, in addition to copper, there are impurities such as iron and zinc in the blister copper hanging on the anode. Since iron and zinc have stronger metal activity than copper, they can replace the copper in the electrolyte and precipitate copper at the cathode; when When the activity of metal is lower than that of copper, it cannot be dissolved to form anode slime. In this way, the metal copper precipitated on the cathode is of high purity. "

"So it is! The old man understands!"

Wang Ji thought for a moment, then nodded and smiled.

Li Zexuan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good! We need to open up an electrolysis workshop as soon as possible in the workshop, which is specially used for refining copper!"

"Yes! Mountain Chief!"

Wang Ji answered with a hand in hand.

Li Zexuan looked at Mo Lingwei at this moment and said, "Miss Mo, in addition to upgrading the generator, I also want you to help me make a motor!"

"Electric motor? What is an electric motor?"

Mo Lingwei wondered.

Li Zexuan took out a thick stack of drawings and said, "The generator uses the principle of magnetism, and this motor uses the principle of electromagnetism. The general process is that the energized coil will generate a rotating magnetic field and act on the rotor. , forming a magneto-electric power rotating torque, which will keep rotating! The detailed details are clearly drawn in these drawings, if Miss Mo has any doubts, you can ask me at any time."

Mo Lingwei rejoiced: "Okay! Mountain Chief!"

"Hey! Chief, Wei'er is just a daughter's family. Do you have the heart to let her do so many things by herself?"

Yan Shaoning, who was beside him, couldn't help but complain at this time.

Mo Lingwei glared at Yan Shaoning and said, "Humph! This is of my own accord, you can't blame the mountain chief!"

Li Zexuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha! Shaoning! If you can't bear it, you should help Miss Mo more! You two are colleagues now, so you should help each other!"

After saying that, he glanced at Mo Huai calmly, the latter's face was sullen, and he couldn't see the joy or anger at all. Li Zexuan couldn't help but muttered in his heart: Did Yan Shaoning get Mo Huai done?
