"Zhongkang, please help me. Ask your people to help me carry something."

Early in the morning, Zhuge Tian found Xu Chu who was strengthening his body.

"Carrying things? I can't do it by myself?"

"You can't lift it by yourself. I didn't bear to buy a hydraulic forklift. You have to ask for help to lift it. Please bring more people."

Xu Chu's men were the strongest and most muscular people in the village.

When they heard the call, they all gathered around.

"What good stuff is this again?"

"I don't know, but since it was made by Tian Ge'er, it must be good!"

A group of strong men came into Zhuge Tian's yard and were surprised to find several...big iron lumps piled inside.

"what are these?"

Liao Hua, who was watching the fun, went up and knocked on it with his hand, and his fingers felt painful.

They are all solid lumps of iron, no wonder it takes so many people to carry them.

It looks a bit like the water pump in the past.

"You'll find out in a moment!" Zhuge Tian kept the secret and asked Xu Chu and the others to tie it up carefully with ropes, and then carry it to the back of the car with wooden sticks.

"Let's go to the river."

Zhuge Tian drove the car, and Liao Hua and others followed on horseback.

Because the moat was being dug at that time, the waterways outside Wolong Village were also changed.

There was a section of water that was particularly turbulent, and all children were warned not to play in the water nearby.

Zhuge Tian drove the car directly here.

Then another group of people came together to carry the things down.

"Hanxing, can you tell me now?" Liao Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead. These things were too heavy, and each one probably weighed several thousand pounds.

"You'll find out when you wait!" Zhuge Tian said the same thing, then pointed at one of them and said, "Here, carefully put this in the water over here."

"This is..." Zhuge Liang looked at the propeller-like things under the machine and asked doubtfully, "Could it be a machine that uses water power?"

"Kong Ming is really smart!" Zhuge Tian said with a smile, "This is a hydroelectric generator. Once it is installed in the water, it can use the water power to generate electricity continuously."

He just bought these things.

Why didn’t you buy it before?

Because it’s expensive!

This time, these machines almost emptied Zhuge Tian’s fortune.

These things are not cheap in the end times. If Liu Bian and the others had not provoked him, he might not be willing to spend so much money.

The cash register balance that was almost reaching the task completion standard was squandered by him.

In exchange for these machines.

The first one is this hydroelectric generator.

Everyone is familiar with what electricity is. When they hear that this thing can generate electricity, they are excited.

Zhuge Tian directed everyone to install according to the instructions, but unfortunately he was also a poor student.

That means he only had a partial understanding of it, and it took Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu to help him study it, and it took half a day to finally figure it out.

It was almost dark at this time, but the people in Wolong Village were still energetic.

Liao Hua asked people to send countless torches, lighting up the riverside brightly.

"Brother Tian, ​​what machine is next?"

Seeing how enthusiastic they were, Zhuge Tian also became diligent for once.

"Then press this!" He pointed to a machine with a large container and said, "This is an electric arc steelmaking furnace. It can directly make steel."

The generator just now can output electricity by connecting it to a voltage stabilizer.

Since no one wants to sleep, let’s just install everything!

In the afternoon, while adjusting the hydroelectric generator, Xu Chu led his men to build a simple shed here using several large wooden stakes.

There is no need to install the electric arc steelmaking furnace, just connect the electricity.

Asking someone to bring out some scrap steel from the village, Zhuge Tian said, "This kind of steelmaking furnace doesn't require iron ore. It can directly use scrap steel to make steel."

A group of people watched in amazement.

I didn’t expect that such a small thing could turn scrap steel into steel ingots again.

In fact, this is what later generations called "di tiao steel".

An extremely substandard steel.

Because the electric arc steelmaking furnace that Zhuge Tian bought could not adjust and control the composition of the steel, the purity of the molten steel was low.

The quality of the steel ingots that came out in the end was not very high.

But what does Zhuge Tian use this for?

He used this to make armor!

After summarizing this battle, he concluded that the heavy casualties on his side were due to insufficient defense.

If the defense is high enough to completely resist the enemy's attack, the casualties will naturally be small.

With the current financial resources of Wolong Village, it is impossible for everyone to buy high-end armor and stab-proof clothing in the system.

In that case, let’s build a batch of heavy armor ourselves!

Although this type of steel is called inferior steel with substandard quality in modern society.

But during the Three Kingdoms period, the steel ingots produced here were definitely not of poor quality.

There are two machines at the back, which are continuous casting machine and small rolling mill, which can directly produce thin steel plates and sheets.

With a complete set of equipment and the craftsmen in the village, a full set of steel armor can be quickly created.

All the equipment was ready and it was almost dawn.

Zhuge Tian asked Zhao Yun to arrange some people to guard the place and let everyone go and rest first.

Although everyone was somewhat reluctant, they really couldn't bear it any longer.

The people in Wolong Village took a nap, and when they went to the river again, they found that Zhuge Tian and others were already tinkering with the machines there.

"Come out, come out!"

Zhuge Liang's happy voice came out: "We have made new steel!"

"Huh? So fast?"

"You can perfect your skills after a good sleep?"

"Hey, this is a treasure that Tian Geer took out, how can we not be quick?"

"So from now on, all the soldiers in Wolong Village will wear full steel armor?"

"I heard from Brother Tian that the cavalry of our Wolong Village will be built according to the standards of the Iron Floating Figure."

The people of Wolong Village gathered around and saw pieces of steel coming out of the last machine, which was called a rolling mill.

"Zhongkang, try the quality of this steel sheet?"

Someone was making a fuss nearby.

Xu Chu looked at Zhuge Tian, ​​and only when Zhuge Tian nodded did he draw his sword.

This sword is not the kind of Mo Dao he used on the battlefield. That one is too big and inconvenient to carry around.

It was a ghost-head knife that Zhuge Tian bought specifically for him.

That’s right, it’s the kind used in anti-Japanese dramas.

The blade of this knife is thick enough. If used for slashing, there are almost no swords and knives in this era that can match it.

Under Xu Chu's extraordinary strength, it can produce extremely great effects.

When Zhuge Tian saw Xu Chu pull out the knife, sweat broke out on his forehead and he quickly called a halt.

This thing is not representative, and he feels that the steel made from it cannot withstand Xu Chu's sword.

He asked someone to bring a captured high-quality sword and a spear from the warehouse.

This is the highest level of weapons in this era.

These are the only weapons they have to guard against.

There is no need to verify it with Wolong Village's epoch-making fine steel weapons.

Xu Chu picked up the sword that was handed to him with one hand, spat, and slashed at the steel piece with one hand.

"when!"
