Chapter 64 Creating Wolf Armor

The news of the wolf rider's appearance was spread on the same day, which caused quite a stir in Wuyang City.

This is especially true for those in the military, who will talk about it unconsciously when they have nothing to do, and such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of the surrounding spies.

Combined with the previous wild animal capture in Wuyang City, some quick-witted spies seem to have seen some clues.

For a moment, the spies seemed to have discovered some great secret, and they returned to their respective forces to report to their lord.

Lucheng is not very concerned about the disturbance outside, the only thing to do now is the distribution of the wolf riders.

A total of 320 wolves were obtained this time, and another 180 are now being domesticated in the domestication farm, and the domestication can be completed by the beginning of July at the most.

In other words, Wuyang City will get a total of five hundred wolves at the beginning of July.

At present, all the troops in Wuyang City combined are only 451 people. Among them, Dang Kou Army and Ying Yang Army have each recruited 200 people after recruiting new recruits, and the number of Huwei Army remains unchanged at 51 people.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about not enough wolf riders. Basically, every soldier can get a wolf rider.

Under such circumstances, Lucheng quickly signed the document for the establishment of the wolf cavalry, and in the document, the distribution of wolf cavalry was clarified.

The officers and men of the three armies in Wuyang City have a share, and everyone can be assigned a wolf rider.

After the document was signed, these wolf riders were distributed among the various armies on the same day.

The next step is riding training and getting familiar with the temperament of wolf riders. In fact, it is to cultivate feelings with wolf riders.

This stage is mandatory.

After everything was over, Lucheng went to the Metallurgical Iron Division.

This time, Lucheng planned to build special wolf armor for these wolf riders. The wolf armor didn't need to be heavy, and it didn't need to be covered with armor like the iron floating map of the Jin Dynasty. It only needed to protect some vital points.

With the current technology of Iron Smelting Division, it should be possible to create it.

The person in charge of Iron Smelting Division is named Tong Guang, who was the first batch of residents recruited in Wuyang City.

The iron smelting department has invested a lot of resources almost from the beginning of its establishment, from the purchase of iron ingots at the beginning to the training of personnel, almost responding to every request.

With the inclination of so many resources, the technology accumulation of Iron Smelting Division has finally achieved results after nearly half a year.

The most typical example is the weapons and armor worn by these recruits. This batch of equipment was independently manufactured by the Iron Smelting Division, and its quality is almost the same as that of ordinary equipment in the trading market.

In the Metallurgical Division, Lucheng met Tong Guang, who was organizing manpower to make the last batch of bows and arrows.

Tong Guang was born in the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty. He was 36 years old and an upright man. He has been studying with his master since he was 15 years old. Counting the time, he has more than [-] years of experience.

From the identification of iron ore to refining, to the manufacture of abrasive tools, and the pouring of finished products, the technology is very proficient.

At this time, Lucheng sat on the main seat, looked at Tong Guang, who was a bit reserved, and said with a smile: "This time, Iron Smelting Division was able to create a qualified weapon and armor, and Mr. Tong has contributed a lot!"

"My lord said that, but I'm a villain. The success this time is all due to my lord's attention." Tong Guang hurriedly cupped his hands when he heard this, and said something with a bit of sincerity.

Although the status of ancient craftsmen is different in each dynasty, they are generally relatively low. There are many reasons for this, one of which is their strong dependence.

You must know that research on craft technology requires a lot of material and financial resources, and these are all controlled by the rulers. It is impossible to do research on crafts alone without relying on the ruling class in terms of manpower, material and financial resources.

Another reason is also influenced by Confucianism.

"The suburban community is not repaired, the ancestral temple is not enjoyed, and the women are made to please women with strange skills." This sentence is one-sidedly interpreted by some rotten Confucians as strange and skillful skills that harm the country and the people, and make people lose their minds.

Engaging in craft research is regarded as a "trail" of "craftsmanship", which is why the status of craftsmen cannot be improved.

It is different in Wuyang City. From the very beginning, Lucheng regards Iron Smelting Division as one of the most important institutions in Wuyang City.

Its person in charge, Tong Guang, has even become an orderly official. In the current civil service system, he is the tallest person except Zhang Penghe.

Hearing what Tong Guang said, Lucheng also smiled, and then said: "The main reason I came here today is to ask you about making wolf armor."

"Wolf armor? My lord, are you talking about those wolf riders?" Tong Guang understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. The appearance of wolf riders is not only discussed by people in the army, even the Iron Iron Division often talks about it. .

And for the armor for the wolf rider, Tong Guang had this idea a few days ago, and some preparatory work is already being done.

Seeing Lucheng nodding, Tong Guang continued, "If my lord wants to put wolf cavalry in armor, we need our iron department to send people to measure it by ourselves, and it may take a long time."

"Oh? How long will this take?"

"This subordinate is still not sure yet. If the height and body size of these wolf riders are roughly the same, the speed may be faster. If there is a big difference, it will take more time."

After Tong Guang finished speaking, he glanced at Lucheng, and then said: "This is mainly the manufacture of abrasive tools. Hundreds of wolf armors are not a small number, and abrasive tools must be made. Scale could take months."

"You can rest assured that there is not much difference in the size of these wolf riders." Lu Cheng waved his hand and replied.

"In this case, the subordinates are confident that they can build it within a month."

"Okay! I'll give you one month. After one month, I hope that all wolf riders will be able to wear armor. Don't break your promise!"

"My lord, don't worry, my subordinates will be able to complete it within a month." Tong Guang immediately promised.

"Well, I'm relieved now." Hearing that, Lu Cheng also stood up from his chair, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he took a tour under the guidance of Tong Guang.

Walking along the way, Lucheng felt even more satisfied after seeing that the iron smelting workshop had already begun to carry out division of labor.

Generally speaking, there are three types of people in the iron smelting department. One type is specialized in refining iron ore, the other type is engaged in the manufacture of abrasive tools, and the other type is engaged in the work of pouring molten iron. up.

The division of labor is clear and each performs its duties. Isn't this the streamlined operation in the manufacturing factories of later generations?
With a sigh of emotion, Lucheng walked out of the Metallurgical Division with a happy mood.
