Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1050 is about to create a storm of entertainment

  The front of the main hall of the Shoushan Academy has been surrounded by curtains for the past few days. Labor craftsmen come in and out, very busy, and they don't know what they are doing.

  On this day, the curtain was finally removed, revealing the new face of the main hall of Shoushan Academy.

Located on the left front side of the main hall of the Academy, in the open space in front of the hall, a small archway was newly built. In the middle of the archway, there was a lintel decorated with logs. On the lintel, a piece of A plaque with the words "Eternal Grace" written on it.

  The door lintel gradually became popular in the Han Dynasty. A lintel is a sign of status, and ordinary people are not qualified to erect a lintel. The popular term "bright lintel" is actually an intuitive expression of people's yearning for power and wealth.

   "Eternal grace?"

   "There is more after this!"

  The archway has two sides, and there is naturally a plaque on the back, and the words on it are replaced with "Knowledge and Action Unity".

   "The unity of knowledge and action?"

   This idea was put forward by Wang Shouren, a Confucian mind master, in the Ming Dynasty, and it was undoubtedly extremely novel in the Han Dynasty. After seeing these four words, many people couldn't help murmuring them a few times. Some people seem to understand something, while others are still looking up at the plaque, dazed.

   While these people were pondering these words, Fei Qian was at home, trying on the latest armor developed by Huang's workshop.

  During the Han Dynasty, Mingguang armor and lock armor had already appeared, but because of the complicated craftsmanship, they were not the first choice for large-scale equipment.

  The value of a pair of armor is much higher than ordinary swords and guns, so in many cases, princes with limited financial resources would rather equip their peasants and soldiers with swords and guns than distribute armor on a large scale.

The iron Zhajia of the Han Dynasty actually evolved from the Zhajia of the Qin Dynasty, and the Zhajia of the Qin Dynasty evolved from the leather armor of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. That is to say, in the Qin Dynasty, due to large-scale The war between countries catalyzed the armor from leather to metal, and in the three to four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, because although there were a few battles on the border, in the overall Han, except for the period of Wang Mang, it was regarded as Except for the nationwide turmoil, most of the time is relatively calm, so the motivation for armor development is not very sufficient.

   But now, the situation has quietly changed.

   "...how is it?" Huang Yueying watched happily as Fei Qian put on the armor, and then swayed around Fei Qian, asking non-stop.

   There are hundreds of descendants of the Huang clan, and they are now by Fei Qian's side. Some are in Pingyang and nearby counties, and some are in workshops. Now that Fei Qian's career is in full swing, Huang's clan children also have a lot of errands, which just happened to be distributed.

  Especially after some so-called Mohist disciples were added to the workshop, the development of this weapon and armor seems to be moving towards a more refined route.

Although Huang Yueying also likes to make some equipment, if she really goes to the workshop, it will not be very convenient for Huang Yueying or the staff in the workshop. A small workshop, and then if you need some materials or something to be processed, let them take it to the big workshop outside the city.

Huang Yueying has also gradually grown a little bit now, perhaps because of the trade with the Hu people in Pingyang City in the north, and there are relatively more meat supplements, so this head has been raised a little bit, and now it is almost the same as Fei Qian's shoulders flush.

   The northerly wind and frost were heavier, but they were defeated in front of Huang Yueying. Maybe it's God's compensation. Although Huang Yueying's complexion is darker, it is very delicate. After so many days, Fei Qian has never seen Huang Yueying have the most common pimples that girls of her age usually have...

   Iron Armor, also known as Xuanjia. In fact, it is not so mysterious, but because most of them are stained with a layer of black paint to prevent rust, so it is black, so it is called Xuanjia.

  The armor of the Han Dynasty is crushing for the surrounding Hu people. If it is only against the Hu people, the current iron armor is enough, but the problem is that the next opponents are not only the Hu people.

  So armor research has always been an important topic inside the studio.

  This time is for the simplified version of Mingguang armor, to test the possibility of mass production.

Because the iron armor currently used actually has a lot of weaknesses, except that the silk sash is easy to wear and tear, and it will also become a gap during the battle, and it will be cut and pierced by the enemy's weapons, which is a little more troublesome. The most important thing is that the iron sheet is too easy to rust, and this rust is like the onychomycosis of the human body. One infects two. As long as you don’t pay attention, it will infect a large area. The entire armor is useless.

To clean the armor, first untie the silk ribbons at the four corners of the iron armor plate, then remove the armor plate, and after polishing the rust, it is best to apply a layer of black paint, and then put it on after it dries. Silk sash, back to its original position.

  So normally, the craftsmen accompanying the army would carry a large number of armor pieces for replacement. If they encountered rust, they would replace them directly, and then deal with those rusty armor pieces slowly, so as not to delay the fighter.

   Even so, it is still very troublesome. Often due to the tight battle, soldiers have to transfer the iron plates behind their bodies to the front for emergency.

  In the final analysis, Fei Qian has also done investigation and research, which is caused by the structure of Tie Zhajia. There is nothing wrong with black paint on the iron sheet to prevent rust, but because the loose sheet is connected by silk, no matter it is normal time or in combat, the silk and the iron sheet, and the iron sheet and the iron sheet will rub against each other. As a result, this layer of black paint used to prevent rust is easily worn away. After contact with humid air, the iron sheet will naturally begin to rust.

To solve such a problem, one is to completely solve the material and develop stainless steel, but such a technology tree looks easy, but it is too difficult to climb up, so I turned to another direction, reducing the number of iron pieces, using large pieces Iron armor replaces finely divided pieces of iron, thereby reducing problems caused by friction between pieces of iron.

Mingguang armor only uses large pieces of iron on the chest and back for protection, and only on the waist, abdomen and arms, etc., it uses iron armor to keep it flexible, taking into account both protection and flexibility, and has been used since the Han Dynasty. After hundreds of years, it has become the mainstream armor model of the army, and its advantages cannot be underestimated.

   But Mingguang armor also has disadvantages, that is, it consumes more iron than iron armor, in other words, it burns more money...

   It's just that the money is really worth it.

When Fei Qian put on his upper body, he realized that although the Mingguang Armor was made of a large piece of iron, the overall weight of the armor was lighter than the sleeve armor made of Tie Zha Armor. The fundamental reason was not because Iron, but because of the skin.

The leather armor used in armaments is not one layer, usually three or five layers, and the cumulative weight of these three layers and five layers of leather is not small, especially when encountering some damp The weather will add a lot of extra weight.

   On the battlefield like Fei Qian, even if you don't go into battle and fight with your own hands, it actually takes a lot of physical strength.

"...Well, it's really good," Fei Qian said wearing the bright light armor, twisting left and right, stretching his waist, "...it feels... well, this shoulder is much more comfortable... unlike the tube sleeve armor, all of which have to be done by hand. Shoulder to resist..."

Huang Yueying's big eyes were crooked with a smile, she nodded and said: "Well, yes, there is a frame inside this Mingguang armor, which can transfer part of the weight of the armor plate to the belt, so the shoulders will be lighter. ..."

  Little Mo Dou quickly took credit for Huang Yueying and said, "My little mother thought of this!"

   "It's amazing!" Fei Qian was naturally not stingy with praise, and this design is indeed very good. Wearing the armor, Fei Qian walked a few steps in the hall, then walked back again, and said with a smile: "The key is that I didn't feel the supporting structure inside the armor..."

Huang Yueying walked over, then stretched out her hand to gesture on the bright light armor on Fei Qian's body, and said: "Of course you don't know, Mr. Lang, in fact, it is hidden in the gap between the armor, connected in one place, and finally landed on the belt... "While talking, Huang Yueying also made gestures, but she didn't know what she thought of, a blush suddenly appeared on her face, and then the more she spoke, the lower her voice became, and she lowered her head...

  Unfortunately, just when the atmosphere in the hall began to turn charming, an attendant reported from the outside that Linghu Shao came to ask for an audience...

   "Uncle Kong is here? Ask him to sit down in the side hall..." Fei Qian motioned for Xiao Mo Dou to help remove his armor, and said to Huang Yueying, "...it must be something about the academy, come when I go..."

  Huang Yueying pouted slightly, but still nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Fei Qian couldn't bear it, so he said: "...this time it's for enlightenment... Well, how should I put it, Yueying, do you know...Actually, I think of this way of promotion, and I also have part of the credit for you. ..."

   "Really?" Huang Yueying's big eyes suddenly curved up.

   Fei Qian laughed and said, "Of course! But for now, I'll go to the front hall first, and I'll talk to you later when I come back, okay?"

  Huang Yueying nodded quickly, the expression on her face was naturally much better.

   Although some of what Fei Qian said was comforting Huang Yueying, but not all of them, and some of them were indeed true.

  Huang Yueying, like most people in the Han Dynasty, actually lacked a certain amount of entertainment, not talking about some ordinary things, but talking about the popular entertainment items of later generations.

  Take the football feast that is carnivaled all over the world in later generations as an example. It is a group of people who are crazy about it, regardless of rich or poor, regardless of national language, male, female, or young.

  In the Han Dynasty, let alone a football feast like the later generations, there was no grand event of a similar scale. Ordinary days, at most, are outings, climbing high, that's all, at most, go to the market.

  But the entertainment needs of human nature will not be reduced because of the times.

  Fei Qian has seen the sacrifices and Nuo dances of the Han Dynasty. As long as there is such an activity, the surrounding crowd will gather.

   It can be seen from this that people in the Han Dynasty, including Huang Yueying and others, lacked spiritual entertainment content, so why can't this "education" be turned into a carnival-like activity for the whole people?

  Why does it have to be very heavy when it comes to enlightenment?

  Why when it comes to going to Hudi, it seems to be an extremely tragic thing?

  Why can't we change the direction of thinking and change all the original concepts?

  Fei potential future generations, has always been good at this thing. For example, the need to work overtime is not because of heavy workload, but because of personal abilities and skills that need to be improved, right? For example, if you need a salary increase, you can't say how much money you need to do, but how much money you need to do, right?

  Anyway, such a theory, to Fei Qian, is as simple as drinking water.

  A small football can feed tens of millions of people, and even make some people change their destiny and become stars, so why can't "education" be allowed?

   Although Feiqian didn’t have any cameras or live broadcast equipment in the Han Dynasty, it didn’t prevent Feiqian from making a simplified version of “Cinderella Liang” growth story.

   How do you say something?

  Everyone has a dream of Cinderella?

  Although I want to compare it with those entertainment projects of later generations, perhaps they are far different in terms of intensity, highlights, storylines, etc., but the problem is that it is in the Han Dynasty now...

  The little tricks of the later generations, if they are revealed casually, I am afraid that they will cause people to go crazy.

  Pingyang is already the center of trade at this time, how much money is circulated every day, and the surrounding areas have been generally settled down, so compared with other places, there are more conditions to carry out such an activity.

  The people of the Han Dynasty, from Emperor Guangwu to the present, have passed it on for more than a hundred years, and it has also been more than a hundred years that there are few new tricks to play. What would these Han people think when suddenly a new gadget far surpassing it appeared in front of everyone? How can it not be a sensation?

   What's more, in the past two or three years, there are quite a lot of gentry children gathered near Pingyang. These guys have some copper waists. As long as these guys are involved, the benefits will naturally roll in!

   At that time, even Fei Qian himself will no longer have to pay for the education of these personnel from the Pingyang warehouse, and there will be a lot of surplus!

  Fei Qian smiled and walked forward, walking with ease.

  Come on, come on, as long as this kind of wind is rolled up, just like the wind rolled up on the grassland, it will gradually become bigger, and eventually overwhelming, unstoppable!
