Summoning Total War

In the afternoon... Around the clock, Murphy had arranged the troops sent by the human city-states.

Starting from tomorrow, they will be trained by the priests of the Temple of War. Six teams of 480 Greek heavy infantry will cooperate with the priests of the God of War to urge them to train. The spearmen of those human city-state dispatchers have average combat effectiveness. If you want them to be used, you have to train them to be familiar with the fighting methods of the Greek long spear phalanx. As for the archers, they are taught and trained by the Cretan archers.

As soon as he returned to the territory, Murphy saw General Marcus Kane approaching excitedly.

The expression on his face was filled with unstoppable excitement, and that shouldn't have appeared on the face of a general who was determined and steady.

"Your Excellency Governor, look at this," General Marcus Kane excitedly handed a long sword that had just been quenched and forged without even being attached to the hilt to Murphy.

clang

Murphy looked at the long sword that was just forged in front of him, raised his hand and flicked on it.

With a crisp sound, the sword body trembled slightly.

This sound...

Murphy's expression moved, and her face was slightly surprised.

He drew the long sword around his waist, swung the newly forged long sword and slashed it on his saber

Clang

I saw a gap in Murphy’s original sword, but the long sword that was just forged was intact.

Murphy was speechless for a long time, and finally murmured a word.

--"steel"

It will be steel

Has any blacksmith in the domain understood how to forge steel?

Murphy is a history lover and a cold weapon dabble. He still knows a little bit about the difference between steel and iron. The key difference between the two is the amount of carbon. Ferroalloys with a carbon content between 2 and 4 mass percent are steel. The forging process of steel is more complicated, and it became popular around the end of the Iron Age, but the earliest steel appeared at the end of the Bronze Age.

Looking at the steel sword in his hand that was obviously still at the original level of craftsmanship, Murphy couldn't help but remember some fragments that had been sealed in his memory a long time ago.

When he was in college, Murphy reported on liberal arts.

At that time, going to university was quite boring, either playing games or picking up girls. Murphy's hobbies are a bit special. He likes to go around and dabble in all kinds of things. I occasionally read some historical information.

It was after entering the university that he finally understood the dynasties in Chinese history.

During the idle time in college, Murphy had a friendly discussion with others about the level of civilization in BC and the craftsmanship of weapon forging in a post. In order to overwhelm Murphy, the young people searched for a lot of information.

Although these things were gradually forgotten after they came out to work, some pieces of knowledge could not help but resurfaced in Murphy's mind at this moment.

God was created at the end of the Bronze Age in BC.

Western ironware is ahead of Zhongtu in an all-round way. There are many reasons for this, such as the high quality and wealth of western iron ore, and the high sulfur content of Zhongtu iron ore. In addition, the bronze forging process of the peak era of Middle-earth is far stronger than the original iron sword, so the promotion of iron-ware in Middle-earth is far behind the West. It is precisely because of the poor quality of iron ore that the forging process of Zhongtu was completely anti-Western in the mid-Han Dynasty, that is, during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Began to spread slowly.

However, this degree was not fast. It was not until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the early Jin Dynasty that bronzes were completely eliminated.

It is hundreds of years slower than in the West

One of the major reasons for the slow popularization of ironware is that the bronzeware that has reached its peak level has delayed the promotion of ironware.

As we all know, bronze ware is wear-resistant and rust-resistant, but the quality of ironware at the original level is nothing to mention.

On the one hand, it is the bronze ware that has reached its peak level, and on the other hand it is the iron ware that has just begun to be displayed at a very low level. Ordinary people will choose which side, you know everything in your heart.

Although it is the end of the Bronze Age, the popularization level of the era and the peak forging craftsmanship at that time are not the same.

Ironware began to appear in large numbers at the end of the bronze ware, but it took a long time for gods to be made to completely popularize and eliminate bronze ware. This is not to say that bronzes are necessarily inferior to irons. In fact, the bronzes that flourished to the peak level in the East and the West were far better than irons at first.

Popularization and emergence are completely different things.

When he was in college, Murphy, in order to argue against each other, even found out an older forging method specifically for mén.

That is the forging process of cast iron and carburized steel.

Murphy didn't remember the specific process requirements, and he didn't deliberately look at it at the time. After all, he was not a blacksmith. His attention was mainly focused on one point at the time, that is, the appearance of cast iron and carburized steel during the Warring States Period, which was the peak iron forging process at that time. In the BC era, at that time, regardless of China and the West, most iron weapons that could reach the steel level were forged in this ancient way.

After the mid-Han Dynasty, the more famous "Hundred Steelmaking" was the achievement of cast iron carburizing steel to a higher level.

The ancient craftsmanship passed on from father to son, so the exhibition was very slow and even lost.

Therefore, a breakthrough forging technology innovation and popularization, it takes a long time to create gods.

Civilization has entered the Age of Steelware. Strictly speaking, it is close to the end of the Middle Ages, which is the advent of the Age of Empire Firearms. However, civilization has entered the steel age, but there is no conflict with the time when steel appeared. Just like the mid-Han Dynasty, that is, during the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in power, a part of the sharp troops had been equipped with weapons made with hundreds of steel forging techniques.

Hundreds of steelmaking began in the Han Dynasty, and in its heyday was the Jin Dynasty. From the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it was gradually replaced by new technologies.

………………

-------------------------

For these ancient forging techniques, Murphy only knows a theory. If he really asked him to study how to forge a hundred steel, he probably only knew that it was beaten repeatedly many times. In the back, he really didn't know at all.

Saying and doing are completely different things. In the age of information explosion, many of the otakus have never even had a hammer, let alone hit the iron.

Everyone has heard of Baotou Steel Clip Steel Quenching, but few people really know how to do it and what to do when it is heated.

Murphy took a close look at the long sword that had just been cast in his hand. Although I don’t know if this sword was forged in the form of cast iron and carburized steel, Murphy is absolutely certain that it is definitely-steel.

Steel is enough for him

"Bring the blacksmith over to see me, now, immediately, immediately" Murphy held this steel sword of the original craftsmanship, and couldn't help but feel a little excited.

But I don't know how long it will take to forge this steel weapon to create a god. However, even if it cannot spread to the entire army, as long as it can be armed with a part of the jīng sharp, it is also a very big help. At the end of the Bronze Age, if there is a large-scale steel army, the advantage can be said to be very obvious. .

Governor's Mansion.

Murphy opened the "Total War" auxiliary system. In the system's smithy page, I don't know when the ironwork research progress inside has reached close. That is to say, as long as it is improved, the forging technology of the territory can already be " The "Total War" auxiliary system is determined to be able to ban bronzes and enter the Iron Age.

"Your Excellency, I have brought you here." General Marcus Kane brought a tall, sturdy, dark-skinned middle-aged man into the Governor's Mansion.

The middle-aged man was naked, with dark skin, and his muscles were U-shaped, like steel, with a scar on his abdomen.

"Your Excellency." The middle-aged man slowly knelt towards Murphy and said in a deep voice.

Leading people formally met Murphy, most of them knelt down on one knee, not many kneel down on both legs like him. Murphy took a closer look, but found that the middle-aged blacksmith’s left leg seemed a little inconvenient.

"You were a warrior?" Murphy asked, staring at the middle-aged blacksmith in front of him.

There is a military aura on this person, very strong.

"Yes. Lord Governor." The middle-aged blacksmith slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "I was injured in the left leg during the war in the old town. The priests said that the injury was too serious and the holy water could not be completely cured. My father I was an excellent blacksmith, so after the battle, I entered the blacksmith shop."

In ancient times, blacksmithing was definitely a highly paid profession.

Roughly like the current white-collar workers, but tired.

In the first battle in the old town, because of facing the jackals several times their own, plus the unusually tall jackals jīng sharp ~www.readwn.com~ even the Spartan heavy infantry suffered more than half of the casualties, the other soldiers Naturally, no casualties. It was a tragic war. Many soldiers who were overwhelmedly wounded were left with disabilities. They were all assigned to other posts in the town, just like the blacksmith in front of them.

Murphy stood up, walked to the middle-aged blacksmith, raised his hand to support him, and said solemnly: "You are a warrior"

"I'm from Sparta." The middle-aged blacksmith bowed slightly and said every word.

………………

Murphy picked up the long sword that had just been forged and asked, "How much can you forge a weapon like this every day?"

"If there are enough people, fifteen can be produced in about a week." The middle-aged blacksmith replied.

Only fifteen?

Is the level of forging technology still insufficient?

Murphy frowned slightly when he heard that, the output was so low. It seems that I can only find a way to arm the Spartan conqueror first.
