In Jingshan Mountain outside Xiangyang City, Wei Yan, Liu Pan, Deng Ai, and Niu Jin were training soldiers nervously. Because their location is relatively secluded, many people don't know about it. Therefore, Xiangyang City remains as prosperous as usual.
The Dahan Chamber of Commerce made commerce unprecedentedly prosperous. Not only trade between the north and the south, but also the Silk Road that had been dormant for many years was revived, and Xiangyang became a commercial center.
Pearl agate, gold and silver jewelry, iron farm tools, fine wine and food, food and horses, everything can be bought in Xiangyang.
The only thing lacking is that there are too few war horses. The horses traded in the market can be ridden and can carry things, but they cannot go to the battlefield.
The Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuwan and other foreign tribes controlled the war horses very tightly. Xiliang also produced war horses, but the number was too small, and Ma Teng and Han Sui did not have any extra.
Secondly, there are no good quality weapons.
But as for weapons, Liu Cong has already tried to solve them on his own.
After more than half a year of repeated practice, the blacksmiths finally mastered the technique of frying steel. Liu Cong immediately gave them the drawings of a knife and asked them to build it.
Two days later, the sample was completed and sent to Liu Cong.
"Liu Hu, come here!"
"My lord, what are your orders?"
"Look at this knife!" Liu Cong handed the new knife to Liu Hu.
"My lord, this knife is relatively light, but the blade is too narrow, so I'm afraid it won't be useful!" Liu Hu shook his head after looking at it.
This sword is different from the swords used in this era.
Its blade is about six feet long, which is equivalent to about 1.23 meters today. It is about the same length as the Zhanma sword, but much narrower than the Zhanma sword, and it is also thinner. The tip is double-edged, and the handle is about one foot long. .
"Why didn't it work?" Liu Cong asked.
"My lord, I'm afraid this will break if it touches other weapons."
"Ha" Liu Cong smiled, "Only you can find out by trying it."
Liu Cong took the knife in his hand and waved it gently. It immediately shimmered with cold light and was filled with cold air.
"Liu Hu, attack me with all your strength!"
"ThisLord"
"Do you want to disobey me? Or do you think I am no match for you?"
"My lord, you have to be careful!" Liu Hu was the commander of the soldiers promoted by Liu Cong on the battlefield. Of course he knew how powerful his lord Liu Cong was. After saying that, he took out his saber and slashed at Liu Cong.
Liu Cong looked at the knife that Liu Hu had chopped off, and used the new knife in his hand to lift it up. He heard a "clang" and a broken knife fell to the ground.
However, Liu Cong¡¯s new sword was intact, but it was Liu Hu¡¯s heavy saber that was broken!
"This" Liu Hu stared wide-eyed and was almost speechless.
This is like two people fighting. One is very thin and the other is very strong. There is no comparison at first, but the one who falls down is the very strong one!
"You two, come here!" Liu Cong ignored the stunned Liu Hu and called the two guards over.
Liu Cong handed the new sword to one of the guards, and then ordered the other guard to slash at the opponent with his own saber, and asked the guard to parry with the new sword.
As a result, after three consecutive cuts, the thick saber broke again.
Liu Cong called another guard, and now he switched over, using his new sword to cut and his saber to parry. However, when the second sword was struck, the saber broke into two pieces.
"What a knife, what a knife!" At this time, Liu Hu had fully reacted, "Lord, where did this knife come from?"
"This is made by our craftsmen, what do you think now? Do you still think it is useful but not useful?"
"My lord, I am so short-sighted, how can I see so clearly? This is a magic knife, so light and yet so hard!" Liu Hu picked up the knife again, "I have never seen such a good knife! It can cut like a knife, chop like a sword, and stab like a spear!¡±
The fried steel technology turns iron into steel, making the knife not only sharp, lightweight, but also more tough. Although the entire technology is not complicated, it is of epoch-making significance for the development of steel.
Liu Cong has long been thinking about improving weapons, and even thinking about directly introducing thermal weapons, but found that the technology of this era is still too backward and cannot be rushed.
Of course, the Han Dynasty was already far ahead of its contemporaries, and its backwardness was only seen through the eyes of later generations.
In the past, weapons were very bulky because lighter ones were not durable at all. Like those first-class or top generals, weapons are oftenIt weighs dozens of kilograms or hundreds of kilograms, and it takes a lot of effort to dance.
For ordinary soldiers, weapons that are too heavy are not easy to use. But it's too light and easy to break. With the steel frying technology, this problem is solved. The new knife designed by Liu Cong is somewhat similar to the Mo Dao of the Tang Dynasty, except that the blade is shorter. But the blade is longer than that of this period, suitable for chopping, chopping, and stabbing.
"My lord, what is the name of this sword?" Liu Hu asked.
"Han Dao! Our Han army's new sword!"
"Great, if all our soldiers carry Han knives, then the weapons in the hands of other armies will be like wooden sticks. How can they be the opponents of our Han army!"
After getting the real test, Liu Cong put Ma Zhong and Ma Liang in charge and stepped up the production of Han Dao. Of course, this technology, like winemaking, is a secret.
At the same time, Liu Cong asked Ma Zhong to look for craftsmen who could make Caihou paper in the Han states.
Since the Western Han Dynasty, paper has been invented. First there was Baqiao paper, and now there is Caihou paper on the market.
It¡¯s just that the quality is so poor that I can barely write on it and it doesn¡¯t last long. A lot of information from the Skynet Camp was made of brocade and silk, but the price was too high. Occasionally, some ordinary Caihou paper is used. The person delivering the letter will not only get wet in the rain, but also sweat a little, which will also affect the content. Therefore, Liu Cong felt that improving papermaking technology was already a very important matter.
China¡¯s papermaking technology advanced by leaps and bounds in the Tang Dynasty, but Liu Cong knew that the technology had not changed much, only the raw materials had changed, and the best quality was bamboo paper.
?Bamboo paper is made of bamboo as raw material and beaten. Bamboo is relatively brittle and easy to break, so the requirements for beating are higher. However, paper craftsmen in this era tried beating various materials, so there should be no problem.
The second step is degumming, which means filtering out impurities. The key to the rice paper, wallpaper, colored paper, etc. produced in the Tang Dynasty was the degumming technology. Because that's when they discovered that they could be degummed with lime.
??Actually, to put it bluntly, in the past, only physical methods were used for degumming, but people in the Tang Dynasty found a method of chemical degumming.
And lime is already being fired in this era.
Finally, we found a few craftsmen who knew how to make paper. When Liu Cong proposed using bamboo as raw material, these people were stunned. They have always used cotton, linen, rags, etc. Bamboo is so brittle, how can it be used as raw material?
But Liu Cong was not in a hurry. He paid them wages and let them try it and use lime to degumm it. If you succeed, you will be rewarded!
Several craftsmen were very happy when they heard it, so they started trying it in a secret workshop in Xiangyang City. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
