Chapter 3 The battalion commander's chest muscles are really good 3
"Son, what would you like?" A shopkeeper in the blacksmith's shop saw Zhou Weiqing dressed as an archer and immediately greeted him. Although the profession of blacksmith is not cheap, it is still far from that of soldiers. In addition to the Royal Pearl Division, the most respected Tiangong Empire requires several soldiers. The Tiangong Empire Army, with a total system of only 50,000 people, has defeated the invasion of other places many times, which is deeply loved by civilians. Although Zhou Weiqing looks young, this standard military uniform is still very up-up.
Zhou Weiqing asked, "Are you the boss here?"
"Yes, I am. Although our shop is not too big, it is a time-honored brand in our Tiangong City. It has no reputation. If you want something, I'll make it cheaper for you. Anyway, you are also trying to protect your family and country!"
Zhou Weiqing smiled, raised his hand, took off the hood on his head and handed it to the boss. He looked outside, and then came to the owner of the blacksmith's shop and said mysteriously, "Boss, I'm a quartermaster of the Third Battalion of the Fifth Wing of the Imperial Army. This time, our battalion commander asked me to come out and make something. If you do this well, I don't have to talk about the benefits, right?
The boss hesitated for a moment and looked up and down at Zhou Weiqing. Although the archer in front of him was a little young, he looked simple and honest. No matter how he looked at it, he was not a treacherous person, let alone a liar.
Zhou Weiqing said in a low voice, "Don't you know our three battalions? As soon as you talk about our battalion commander, you will understand that our battalion commander is the most beautiful woman in the empire, Lord Shangguan Bing's son. You can inquire about it."
Hearing Shangguan Bing'er's words, the blacksmith's shop owner's eyes suddenly lit up, "Shang Sir, what do you want to play, Lord Shangguan Bing's son?" Shangguan Binger is a myth to ordinary civilians. She was born among civilians and is known as the goddess of civilians. This loyal boss will never believe that someone will take Shangguan Bing'er to deceive people, otherwise he will be rejected by all civilians. How could he know that this person in front of him is also a viscount? If Shangguan Binger knows that Zhou Weiqing is fooling with her name, I don't know if this guy can't be a man.
Zhou Weiqing said, "We need a metal that is extremely hard, but the lighter the weight, the better to make things. And it's fast, I need it today. You need to rush to work immediately. Money is not a problem. As he spoke, he took out the army's payout he had just received and slapped the gold coins on the table.
Zhou Weiqing doesn't need to practice since he was a child. The cunning of his mind is by no means comparable to his peers. The reason why he gets involved in the tiger skin of the beautiful battalion commander is because of his speed. Generally, blacksmiths have to queue up to make things, but he can't wait.
The owner of the blacksmith shop immediately nodded and said, "No problem, there happens to be precious titanium alloy in our shop, which is extracted by the fire master. Although the price is high, it is exactly the characteristic you want. However, the price is also relatively expensive. A kilogram of titanium alloy requires ten gold coins. Well, for the face of Shangguan Bing's son, Lord Jue, I'll charge you a cost price of seven gold coins per kilogram. How's it going?" When he saw Zhou Weiqing take out the money, he had fully believed in this simple-looking teenager.
Hearing the words titanium alloy, Zhou Weiqing's eyes suddenly lit up. He had heard of this thing. He had a set of armor made of titanium alloy, which was light in weight and extremely tough. It was one of the best materials forging weapons and equipment. Now I was overjoyed, "Okay, that's it. This is what I want to build. As he spoke, Zhou Weiqing handed the hood in his hand to the blacksmith's shop owner.
The boss was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this a hood?"
Zhou Weiqing nodded and said, "It's just to make it look like a hood, you think so! On the battlefield, we archers usually have to face the enemy's bows and arrows. If the hood is replaced with titanium alloy, can the arrows thrown by the enemy still hurt us? Moreover, I asked for a multi-layer canvas handle in the hood hat, so that when I hold it in my hand, it can become a shield.
Listening to Zhou Weiqing's words, the blacksmith's shop owner's eyes suddenly lit up. This is completely feasible, but the titanium alloy is so expensive that it can be assembled with all the archers?
Zhou Wei had this idea early in the morning. When he was free at home, he loved to think about some strange things. When he signed up to join the army before, the captain of the soldier said to him that the archers were the safest, which was simply bullshit. As the son of a marshal, how could Zhou Weiqing not know the archers The country's long archer is one of the most depleted arms on the battlefield. The attack power of the long archer is extremely amazing, so it must be the key care of the enemy. This situation of shooting is common. The reason why he still chooses this profession is that he has a way to deal with it and the archer really doesn't need short soldiers.
He had this idea when he was eleven years old. He transformed the long archer's hood into a shield, which is extremely simple to use on the battlefield. When the other party attacks, he only needs to squat down, curl up as much as possible, and then lower his head. The opponent's bows and arrows are almost blocked by Ordinary people can never think of this idea. Only Zhou Weiqing, who is naturally afraid of death and is obscene in his heart, can come up with it. He also wanted to tell his father, but every time he saw his father's serious face, he couldn't say it. God knew whether his father would approve his suggestion, and ultra-light metal could not be equipped by the whole army.
"I admire, this must be the viscount's idea. It's so creative. Well, we'll take over the work. I'll let everyone rush to work now. I'll do it before tonight. At that time, I will charge according to the amount of materials used, and I don't want your salary. Calculate six gold coins and one kilogram of titanium alloy.
This is the benefit of deception. Zhou Weiqing is extremely proud that he does not need to speak by himself, and he will take the initiative to reduce the price. As for the boss passing on such obscene ideas to Shangguan Binger, he didn't care at all. Safety comes first.
"Boss, do you have any other items made of titanium alloy here? It's better to wear it on your body for defense. Zhou Weiqing has never even heard of the price of six gold coins and one kilogram of titanium alloy. As far as he knows, the normal price should be from ten gold coins to twelve gold coins per kilogram. If you are likely to go to the battlefield after entering the army, it is always good to prepare more armor for yourself.
"You really asked the right person. I also have a titanium alloy inner armor here, which is made of titanium alloy and then woven with the tendons of the beast's tough snake. Light and close-fitting, it is more than enough to defend your archers' bows. As he spoke, the boss went to the back of the counter and took out a tray with a silvery inner armor on it.
Zhou Weiqing rudely grabbed the inner armor and shook it away. This is a half-length inner armor, which can protect the whole upper body, including the arm. The silver armor is shining, and more importantly, it is light, no more than two kilograms at most. This is the advantage of titanium alloy.
Seeing this, Zhou Weiqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Okay, this is good, I want this. I guess it weighs about one kilogram. Boss, don't worry, I won't let you suffer losses, even if it's two kilograms. Here, here are twelve gold coins. As he spoke, Zhou Weiqing had quickly taken out twelve gold coins and put them on the table.
