Chapter 252 (2/2)
Lonnie glanced at the table and felt that the only pity was that there was no honey. It tasted great when applied to bread.
”I did a little research on steam before, but then the time was too tight, so I didn't go further.” Lonnie stood up, went back to his room, took some drawings, put them on the other end of the table and spread them out one by one, ”but recently, because he was relatively idle...” here, Lonnie took a special look at Sean, which means it goes without saying: ”so I improved my previous research and ideas, but I couldn't do experiments, However, according to my theoretical data, the success rate of this method is close to 90%, so I will make a small improvement on the drawing of the impact shield... ”
With that, Lonnie reached out and pointed to one of the drawings with a pile of gadgets and formulas, but it was obvious that Sean could never understand it.
”I keep only the key parts of this steam power machine, and then transfer it to the internal structure of the impact shield. In this way, the impact shield can drive the nail pile within ten seconds after startup, which becomes more solid, but it has both disadvantages and advantages.” Lonnis folded and integrated all the drawings in order, then laid them and pressed them with force. This extremely thin paper was printed together layer by layer, integrating all the structures of the whole impact shield, which looked more clear and obvious. ”The advantage is that as long as it is successful, it can be put into use immediately, instead of staying in the state of unfinished products as before, And its unique three overlapping shield structure, I dare say, is definitely the highest peak of current forging technology. But the disadvantage is... ”
Sean frowned slightly and took Ronnie's words and said, ”people who use this impact shield have very high requirements for strength. Even ordinary heavy infantry can't bear such heavy things... Moreover, you reduce the core of the steam power machine and have high requirements for the manufacturing level. In addition, there are also requirements for the blacksmith's manufacturing ability. In addition to the cost... Not counting the training cost, let's say that such an impact shield costs nearly 5000 gold coins. This money is even enough to arm hundreds of Tower Shield heavy infantry, including the training cost. ”
”Yes.” Lonnie said in a deep voice, ”but I also calculated that if you don't buy the core of steam power source, but provide materials by goblins, and the shield embryo is also in the charge of dwarves, the cost can be reduced to about 3000 gold coins. If skilled technology can form the current unique Arsenal assembly line operation, the cost price can even be reduced to less than 2000. Considering the funds required for one year's training and other supporting equipment, the cost of every 100 heavy infantry equipped with impact shields is about 300000 gold coins. ”
”The scale of 100 people is not enough to form combat effectiveness.” Sean calculated silently, then frowned deeper, ”according to the minimum configuration, it takes at least 500 people to form an army, so the cost is 1.5 million.”
Lonnis also retorted, ”but don't forget that as long as there are 500 people in such an army, their combat effectiveness will be close to a heavy infantry regiment of 3000 people.”
”But you should also know that even if the standard configuration of a heavy infantry is required according to the standard of sophisticated equipment, it only needs less than 300 gold coins, and 3000 people are only 900000 If it's an ordinary grade, it's not even a hundred gold coins. ”
”But the training period of any heavy infantry is more than three years, and the elite even needs five years.” Lonnis said calmly, ”but the heavy infantry equipped with impact shield can go to the battlefield immediately in only one year's training period, greatly omitting several years of effort, and it is very easy to supplement the strength of this heavy infantry, which is the most important. Besides, do you think such a heavy infantry is worthless as long as it can stop the charge of cavalry? ”
Sean sneered and said, ”but don't forget that your assumptions are based on goblins and dwarves and skilled production. Without all this, the cost of impact shield would be more than 5000 gold coins. You can figure out how much it is for 500 people. ”
In this way, lonniston was a little discouraged, so he said reluctantly, ”indeed So, are you not interested in this drawing? ”
”Forget it, a little is better than nothing. Anyway, I don't think you can get any good goods.” Sean glanced disdainfully, ”well, it's converted into three days. You still have four days to enjoy. If there's nothing I can satisfy at that time, I'll put you back in the cage. ”
Hearing Sean's words, Lonnie looked depressed and lost interest in watching the delicious food on the table.
But Sean ignored Lonnie's idea and took it with him, along with the drawing of the armor. If Lonnie was still in the mood to observe Sean at the moment, he would surely find that Sean's clenched fists were a manifestation of his inner excitement.
Dwarf? Goblins?
Unfortunately, there are these two kinds of people in the strange army that Sean has just obtained.
Construction of military factories?
Hey, the military classification in Sean's Lord system happens to have the construction of a military factory, but it can't be built for the time being.
As for soldiers?
Well, the discussion between Sean and Lonnie is naturally based on human beings, but Sean now has bear people and Tauren. These two races are terrible if they don't pay attention to infantry.
So many resources can be used that Sean would be really stupid not to use them（ To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
