When Chen Xi just occupied Qingzhou, he started a wave of iron smelting. Although Chen Xi didn’t know much about iron smelting, he knew high temperatures and hydraulic die casting.

Besides, the Shandong-China Iron Ore is one of the few iron ore in China with a total of more than one billion tons. Although Chen Xi does not know the location, he can just draw a general location and make people look for it.

At that time, Chen Xi also made a wave of high-quality iron weapons to show off Liu Bei's cuteness, but was cut by Liu Bei's standard weapons and suffered a heavy blow.

However, this did not shake Chen Xi's enthusiasm. After all, a small steel mill has been built, and just throwing it away is a waste of resources, so Chen Xi vigorously studied the warming technology.

Finally, the essence of warming was basically determined. After that, Chen Xi's small steel mill started construction again, and "large-quality" steel was produced in a large number of "high-quality" steel. Of course, this is a joke. Whether high-quality or not is actually determined by warming up online.

What Liu Bei told Chen Xi at the beginning was that pig iron, cast iron, iron, fine iron, as long as it is all iron, the limit of warmth is the same.

Unless it is extremely powerful like the internal qi leaving the body, warming will break through a certain limit, or like Guan Yu, who will be able to communicate with the spirit and forcibly cross the limit of warming.

Otherwise, there would be no gap in the final result of these things being warmed up, but later Chen Xi confirmed again and again that there was actually a gap.

If it is pure iron, there is definitely no difference, but pig iron, cast iron, solid iron, fine iron and other things actually contain other elements inside, and the proportions are also different.

This greatly affected the limit of warming, and Chen Xi tried to add all kinds of strange things to it, and finally created high-quality steel with a significantly higher upper limit of warming.

Well, in fact, can we say that there are some problems with steel at this time? There are a lot of messy things added to it. If it is not warm, it may not even be considered ordinary alloy materials. However, after warming, the strength of the material has exceeded ten streets of graphene.

With so many years of repeated warming and repairing and modifying the material ratio, the front-line soldiers under Liu Bei's rule have basically completed the last wave of dressing changes. In other words, during this military parade, everyone can have a piece of armor on their chests and armor on their chests.

If this were before, only the generals and schools were qualified to obtain things. After so many years of continuous production, they finally matched the main battle army. Although some of them have not been warmed up yet, they can be used so far. After all, there is still a lot of time for warming up.

Such a piece of armor weighing about 20 kilograms was worth almost 150,000 to 200,000 yuan in the past. Now, Chen Xi seems to have almost collapsed the price of weapons and equipment.

After all, just so many weapons and equipment, armor and shields, and armed 400,000 troops, they really have to be converted into about 100 billion yuan. If the price of war horses is included, it is a lot.

Fortunately, the war horses were raised by themselves, the mines were built on their own territory, and the steel mills were opened by themselves, and the labor costs were ignored. Otherwise, no prince could have armed so many troops. To put it bluntly, it would be two words to raise soldiers. Only when the money was spent, could he talk about other things.

But this is the past. Now, after arming the front-line army, although the Luzhong Steel Plant built by Chen Xi is still producing, it is more for inventory preparation. Therefore, after Lu Jun's report sent by Lu Jun, Lu Su thought about it and agreed.

After all, steel mills have been producing now and the stock is sufficient. Lu Jun wants some steel to be used as keels and beams. Although it is a bit wasteful, compared to throwing them into the treasury as inventory and using them, Lu Su's opinion is also worth it. Maybe Lu Jun can give them a surprise.

Well, Lu Su was completely overthinking. What Lu Jun is doing now can only surprise them and will never make them happy.

After all, the model is a model, structural mechanics, transmission device, torque and other problems cannot be easily solved by a model. Although materials science, which is now kneeling on the ground, can solve a big problem, Lu Jun is now traveling further and further towards the path of suicide!

However, thinking about the current situation under Liu Bei's rule, including Zixu, Cookie and others, they are actually running farther and farther on the road to death, and even gradually running out of the realm. There are many people who have reached the level, which can only be said to be thanks to Chen Xi's strong capital.

"Zichuan, how much steel we have in stock now?" After Lu Su gave the instructions, he put it on waiting for the calculation. After a while, he turned it out again, turned his head and looked at Chen Xi, who was cheating on the side, and asked.

"Ha?" Chen Xi was instantly furious. He had just gotten distracted. "Uh, what did you say, that Zijing? Can you say it again? I have not had a good ear lately."

Lu Su was stunned. Chen Xi, can you be more shameless?

After taking a deep breath, silently reciting several times, don’t be as good as Chen Xi, Lu Su calmed down, “Zichuan, how much steel we have in stock now.”

"It seems like I just mobilized a batch of steel not long ago. I think about it, there are more than 6,000 tons left." Chen Xi said after a while, after thinking about it.

"There are so many more?" Lu Su was shocked. "How come there are so many steels, and why do we produce so many steels?"

"Is it too much? Actually, that's it. The 400,000-strong army's only replacement armor and chest plate armor are equipped with a knife as a weapon. So much does it take to come down. It's not considered a professional big shield, and some professional wide-back big swords that break the formations have not even calculated the backup weapons." Chen Xi said after a while.

"Uh, have you changed the 400,000 troops?" Lu Su looked at Chen Xi in disbelief and said, "What about the leather armor that was retreating before?"

"Oh, I've retreated to militias from all over the country. A village of 3,000 people requires militias of 30 to 50 people. According to this ratio, the leather and cloth armor that have been retreated is not enough." Chen Xi explained willfully, and Lu Su said that such words made people unable to respond.

"Okay, I won't calculate the leather armor that I'll give to the militia. What are the thousands of tons of steel to do? Even if it's made spare weapons and equipment, it won't be enough." Lu Su looked at Lu Su speechlessly.

"You can't just care about us. By then, Yongliang Yizhou, Jingxiang Yangzhou, Jiaozhou, and these soldiers also need to change their clothes. These steels are used to solve this problem." Chen Xi said with a natural expression. The purpose is to build the Central Plains. It is impossible for them to make efforts. These are all their own people.

There were hundreds of thousands of Han soldiers equipped with armor and holding large shields in Lu Su's mind. Although it was very exciting to think about it, it was too terrible. After all, the soldiers wearing armor from ancient times to the present have a special name called armored soldiers. Those who can be called soldiers will definitely not be locals. As a result, Chen Xi was going to build hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers?

"I call part of it has no effect, right?" Lu Su thought for a while and said.

"It has no impact. It may have had an impact in the past few years. Now there is no problem. Although this kind of steel is a relatively special steel, as long as the steel mill does not stop production, it can produce a few tons every day." Chen Xi said casually, "If I don't use it, I will produce another batch."

"How many tons can be produced in a day?" Lu Su's eyes widened.

"Yes, it looks like almost five or six thousand pounds." Chen Xi touched his chin. Now he has agreed to the weights and measures, which are extremely close to the international standards of later generations.

"In other words, according to the standard of a soldier with a strong and stalked armor, can you be armed half a day?" Lu Su said in disbelief.

"Yes, didn't this say it very early?" Chen Xi said naturally. "I have always solved the logistics. If it really doesn't work, we will push the troops to push them. As long as one million soldiers are within the range I can attack, I don't believe that there is no way to solve it."

Li You, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Fa Zheng, and Lu Su all supported their foreheads, and then silently covered their eyes, revealing an inexplicable feeling of regret. They really couldn't look directly at Chen Xi. This method was really simple and crude, in line with Chen Xi's usual style.

"Uh, what's wrong with you? I said at the beginning that my favorite thing is flat push. Bullying the weak is the essence of military strategy. I just turned this into reality. However, I guess it will take several years to produce this thing, with a production of less than 2,000 tons a year. Calculate the consumption of reserve weapons, reserve support weapons and other aspects, and it will probably take another five years to produce it." Chen Xi touched his chin and said with some thought.

Li You, Jia Xu and others were speechless. Chen Xi really planned to arm one million soldiers with this trick. And judging from the current trick, the possibility of this plan being completed is extremely high. If nothing unexpected happens, this era will become the most powerful era in history.

"Ten thousand tons are basically enough to arm the million soldiers." Li You said after a while, "Do you mean to keep a reserve of 6,000 tons?"

"Well, this is almost the case. God knows what it will be like at that time. He has made plans long ago. Now the problem of armor and weapons has been solved, but Shu Jin's problem cannot be solved." Chen Xi said with a little entanglement.

"Shu Jin, what are you doing?" Lu Su asked curiously.

"The tight top-quality Shu brocade can be used as a lining to protect against arrows." Li You has experienced many battles, so this kind of thing is very clear.

"Do you mean you have to put Shu brocade in it as a lining?" Guo Jia silently calculated the money and armed it at this rhythm. He remembered correctly that there is only about 40,000 yuan for a private slave, and the equipment value is up to 200,000 yuan?
