Chapter 275: Moon knife some kind of alloy steel

Shangwen and his party soon came to Meng Tian's place.

"What's the matter?" Shang Wen asked.

"Yueshi's blade is extremely sharp." Meng Tian said directly.

"Abnormal sharpness?" Shang Wen asked suspiciously.

"Yes. Look." Meng Tian then pointed his finger.

"These knives are the Yueshi knives that we have seized in large numbers today. These knives are extremely sharp. With this one, this soldier has continuously cut five steel knives equipped by our army, and the blade is still so sharp." Meng Tian said.

"What?" Shang Wen said unbelievably. Although Shangwen is very disgusted with cold weapons. However, what kind of technology can be used in ancient times to achieve such an unusually sharp knife aroused greater interest.

"Look at this palace." Yingyu picked up a Yueshi knife and severely split a steel knife. This steel knife is carefully crafted and equipped with a large number of cavalry superior weapons. Only the cavalry can forge a lot of equipment.

"Ding." There was a clear metallic sound. The Yueshi knife easily chopped off the steel saber equipped by the Qin Army.

"Oh my God." Yingyu was obviously also surprised by the sharpness of Yueshi's knife.

"Ding Ding". Yingyu cut off two knives in a row.

"Okay. Don't cut it. Cut so much, we have to re-forge. It takes a lot of work and effort." Shang Wen said.

"You care about me. Idiot." Yingyu said dissatisfiedly.

"Hey, how does the princess call you a idiot?" Meng Tian said with a smile. The guards around wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.

"You. Forget about business." Shang Wen had no choice but to change the subject and said.

"I suspect that Yueshi's knife is some kind of alloy steel." Shang Wen said.

"Alloy steel?" Meng Tian and Yingyu cried together.

"Yes, when these knives were forged, a certain trace element was added. These knives have two or more element characteristics." Shang Wen explained.

"Oh. I think about it. I can't hang it. Some time ago, someone always reacted. In close combat, Yueshi's knives were very sharp. I didn't pay attention at the time. It seems. These knives are alloy steel. "Meng Tian said.

"Yes." Shang Wen nodded and said.

"In fact, the iron knives and steel knives we forged are alloy steels. It's just that they are alloy steels of carbon and iron. If the specific gravity of carbon is different, iron and steel will be different. Carbon is relatively soft. Therefore, iron contains It has more carbon. The texture is softer than steel. So toughness is better. Steel has less carbon content, so the texture is more rigid, but without carbon, the texture is more brittle.” Shang Wen doesn’t know if such an explanation can make these people understand.

"Oh." Meng Tian nodded knowingly.

"Talking so much nonsense, idiot, quickly tell me what is going on with the Yueshi knife." Yingyu said a little bit can't wait.

"You, can you get rid of the word..." Shang Wen said.

"No." Yingyu replied firmly.

"Good." Shang Wen said.

"In these knives, a certain element is added. I can determine which element. Because there are several kinds of elements, I need a lot of time to detect these textures. Moreover, there is no technical equipment. So, I can't do it. "Shang Wen said.

"Oh. What a pity." Meng Tian said regretfully.

"However, I suspect that the most likely manganese steel is manganese steel. Because this steel has the best quality, it is used in many places. Such as drill bits, bulletproof steel plates, and armor, etc." Shang Wen gave an example.

"Armor, bulletproof." Meng Tian called.

"En. It should be like this. I think that this kind of ore must be abundant in a certain place in the Moon Kingdom. As long as we have this kind of ore, we can produce a large amount of special steel." Shang Wen said.

"Didn't you say it for nothing?" Yingyu kept pouring cold water.

"However, these steels have solved a big problem for me at the moment." Shang Wen ignored Yingyu's words.

"When our gun barrels were processed, the rifling problem was still unresolved. It was because of the drill that could not be solved very well. The main problem was the hardness. Using ordinary drills, when the drill was halfway through, it was just fine. Replace the drill bit. Now, this problem has been solved very well. I believe that it will not take long before we can produce a rifled gun. In this way, our musket can hit farther. Also within fifty steps, we With ten bullets, it is estimated that six rounds can be hit. But with the rifled gun, we can shoot farther. More accurate." Shang Wen said.

"My weapon advantage lies in shooting at long distances. Not in close combat. We must try our best to avoid close combat. Now the weather in the north is so cold. Large-scale military operations are not realistic enough." Shang Wen said.

"It's cold, everything will change. Even an unusually sharp Yueshi knife will become brittle in very cold conditions," Shang Wen said.

"According to you, we won't go to war anymore." Ying Yu asked.

"Yes". Shang Wen said.

"What death?" Ying Yu asked.

"We must strengthen our guard to prevent the enemy's sneak attacks. The other thing is that we have to hold them down. We don't need to clean them up. God will clean them up. Finally, we just have to deal with them. During this time, we can stay here. In the back, just eat ice cream," Shang Wen said.

"Ice cream. What is this. Is it delicious?" Yingyu is very interested in all new things. Hearing Shang Wen accidentally say something new, he immediately became interested.

"It's delicious, very delicious. It's delicious. Moreover, eating ice cream in winter has a particularly refreshing taste." Shang Wen tempted.

Unexpectedly, what he said unintentionally would suddenly attract Yingyu's attention. well. Yingyu, just shut up for me.

"Then you, quickly make one for me." Ying Yu said.

"Okay, we still have some things to discuss." Shang Wen and Ying Yu whispered.

"What's the matter? I promise to agree." Yingyu said.

"Okay, what you said. A word is settled." Shang Wen said.

"It's settled in a word. I just promised." Ying Yu said.

"Okay, that's what you said. I won't be called a nerd or fool in the future." Shang Wen said solemnly.

"This is easy to talk about. Very easy to talk about. I promised." Yingyu promised.

"Good. I need a lot of raw materials now. For example, I need a lot of fruits, such as apples, oranges, pears. etc. All fruits." Shang Wen said.

"What's the use of you wanting these?" Yingyu asked.

"Fruit-flavored ice cream. Have you not eaten it?" Shang Wen said dissatisfied.
