Zhao Ziliang asked again: "This matter must be classified as a high-level secret and cannot be spread to outsiders.
The relevant personnel must also keep their mouths shut.
In addition, do you know the reserves of this ore and how much it is?"
Zheng San cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this kind of iron ore was discovered in the Kimak Protectorate in August last year.
After what happened, I sent people to inquire about it.
The reserves of this kind of ore are very large in that vein."
It is abundant.
It is said that this kind of ore is also found in other places in the Kimak Protectorate.
It should be mined and used in large quantities."
Zhao Ziliang immediately issued an instruction: "Immediately send people to control the place where this kind of ore is buried, and carry out planned mining instead of digging randomly."
"yes" Zhao Ziliang asked the officials of the steel plant: "Can this kind of stainless steel be mass-produced at present?"
The official replied: "It should be possible, but we need to add more factories and related equipment.
In addition, this ore contains a lot of lead.
It is not difficult to extract the lead.
We are worried about this unknown metal in the ore."
The content is unstable, and the performance of the stainless steel made in this way is also unstable."
Zheng San said at this time: "If it is the same vein mine, the content of the ore should be the same."
The official replied: "Yes" Zheng San clapped his hands and said: "That's enough.
During the process of smelting this ore, you can also test the ores from other veins.
There will always be a solution."
Zhao Ziliang immediately made the decision and told the steel mill officials: "From now on, we will produce this stainless steel block as a strategic reserve.
Since it is stainless and corrosion-resistant, it shows that it is much more durable than other iron tools.
The weapons and armor of our army Regular maintenance is required, otherwise it will rust.
Even with regular maintenance, the armor will lose its luster after one or two years of wearing it, and may even become rusty.
It can't be out of place, but if this kind of stainless steel is forged into plate armor and made into armor to equip the army, it can be used for many years.
Although the cost of obtaining stainless steel is higher, it is less expensive than using armor made of this kind of steel now.
Much less.
Starting next year, the armor forging factory will begin to officially produce stainless steel plate armor, preparing to begin fully equipping the army the year after next. , the Ordnance Research Agency will also start to see if it can use this kind of stainless steel to forge stronger, tougher, and sharper weapons.
Craftsmen should do more research, think more, and dare to imagine.
For craftsmen with research results, The division, the steel mill, and the iron mill should be heavily rewarded.
One reason why our army is invincible is that our weapons are better than the enemy's weapons.
The weapons are sharper and tougher, and our armor has stronger defense than the enemy's.
The enemy's swords are like scratching our soldiers, while our weapons can cut the enemy in two pieces, so as long as we can study Sharper weapons and armor with stronger defenses are all due to great achievements.
He should be rewarded heavily, promoted, and made rich."
"I will obey the king's will," the officials all saluted and agreed.
The accompanying officials from the Ordnance Research Agency said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, I heard that a scimitar called Damascus steel sword is produced in Damascus in the Kingdom of Great Food.
Their craftsmen used unique skills to create this kind of scimitar.
Damascus scimitars are not only extremely sharp, but also very difficult to rust.
On the one hand, this is because of their unique forging skills, and on the other hand, because the steel ingots used are Utz steel ingots produced in Tianzhu.
This steel ingot itself contains It has a special pattern, and the forged blade also has this kind of cloud pattern, so the Damascus scimitar is also called Utz steel knife.
Although we also use Utz steel ingots to make knives with cloud patterns, our forging skills are different from theirs.
Different, they cannot have the sharpness and toughness they made.
Western countries highly respect the Damascus scimitar.
From the emperor to the traffickers, they all want to own one for collection."
Zhao Ziliang asked craftsmen to forge weapons using wootz steel many years ago, when he was the Protector of Beiting.

Because wootz steel is mainly produced in Tianzhu, and Tianzhu’s scimitars are also extremely sharp and tough, he also Send people specially to study in Tianzhu Regarding sword forging technology, the people who were sent came back two years later and brought back the forging technology.
However, the Uzi steel swords made using Uzi steel ingots were not as sharp, powerful or tough as real ones.
Damascus scimitar.
Forging Damascus scimitars has always been a technical secret of the Persians.
The Persians protected this technical secret very closely, and it was difficult for outsiders to obtain the specific forging method.
Zhao Ziliang also sent people to Damascus to steal troops, but the people he sent basically returned without success.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and told Gao Shi: "Send someone to write to Zhao Lei, ordering the export of Utz steel ingots to be blocked and only allowed to be sold and used in Western Qin.
At the same time, he also sent a message to the Commerce Department of the Government Affairs Council to send Utz steel ingots.
Listed as war preparation supplies, Uzi steel ingots were added to the goods restricted for export.
Without the raw materials, I would like to see what the Persians use to make extremely sharp Damascus scimitars."
Gao Shi handed over his hand and agreed: "Yes" Zhao Ziliang waved to Wang Can again.
Wang Can stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Didn't Salad occupy most of the land in Syria?
Damascus was also under his control.
He asked the person next to him to find a way to get the detailed forging method of the Damascus scimitar.
This task only needs to be successful, not failed."
Wang Can clasped his fists and agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Ziliang said to the officials and craftsmen: "The great cannibals and the Persians have little to learn from us.
The forging method and construction of this Damascus scimitar are exactly what we need to learn from.
Don't think that stealing from them is a shame."
Things like the Great Eaters and Westerners have sent people to steal our teachers.
Why can’t we send people to steal their teachers?
Since ancient times, people have believed that the church has Apprentice, starving the master to death is actually a wrong idea.
It is precisely because of this idea that technological progress has stalled.
Even if the apprentice succeeds in stealing from the master, he is not necessarily better than the master.
On the basis of innovation, absorb the essence of the master's technology and create higher and stronger technology.
Only then can you surpass the master.
We once sent people to learn Damascus Bend.
However, the Persians refused to teach them the forging method of the sword.
We had no choice but to steal it.
What I want to tell you is that if you get the forging method of the Damascus scimitar, what you have to do is not just to stop at This technology should be followed unchanged to forge weapons, but I should absorb the essence of its forging technology for my use, and invent better forging methods to create more cutting-edge weapons.
Weapons that are sharper, tougher, and more powerful.
We, Yanhuang, were just a small tribe in the beginning.
The reason why we are able to develop and grow, continue to this day, and create an incomparably splendid civilization is because we continue to absorb the advantages of external civilizations and use them for our own use.
After transformation, It has become our own unique civilization.
It is not enough to be conservative.
Only when the sea is open to all rivers can we be inclusive and broad.
Do you understand?"
All the officials and craftsmen saluted and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, the steel smelting plant began to produce stainless steel ingots on a large scale after building a new factory and adding equipment.
The produced stainless steel ingots were quickly sent to the armor manufacturing plant to be forged into stainless steel plate armor.
At the same time, a small amount of stainless steel ingots were sent to the Ordnance Research Agency.
Research was conducted to see if the steel ingots could retain their sharpness and toughness after being forged into weapons.
In May, Zheng San brought some forged samples over to show Zhao Ziliang.
"This is a sample of armor made from plate armor forged from stainless steel ingots.

Please take a look at it."
Zheng San asked a soldier to come forward with a set of armor on a tray.
Zhao Ziliang walked down the imperial steps and came forward to inspect it.
He picked up the helmet and looked at it, then looked at the armor and said, "It looks brighter.
How's the weight?"
"It's a little lighter and has about the same defensive performance.
It's a little more convex than the previous plate armor.
In autumn and winter, you can put a wool vest inside to keep out the cold, or even wear a cotton coat.
The weight is basically the same as the previous armor."
Zheng San said.
If you can wear an extra cotton coat, you can not only keep out the cold, but also greatly increase your defense ability.
This change is a big improvement.
Zhao Ziliang waved to Zhao Ting, who had just returned from Jisu Protector's Mansion: "Come here, come over and put on this armor and try it out."
Zhao Ting agreed: "Yes, father."
Under the service of several eunuchs, Zhao Ting quickly put on this armor made of stainless steel ingots.
There were some densely packed holes on the sides of the plate armor, which were used for ventilation.
Since it was already May , Wearing relatively few clothes, the armor on Zhao Ting can just wrap his body and torso, because there are dense holes on both sides to allow ventilation and sweat, so he doesn't feel hot at all.
"Yes, yes, you can pull out your weapon and play with it to see if you feel any discomfort," Zhao Ziliang ordered after looking at it.
Zhao Ting walked back and forth several times wearing it, then picked up the weapon and kept slashing with the knife, using various moves.
Then he stopped and said, "It's very good.
I don't feel any discomfort.
On the contrary, I am more comfortable than before."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to the eunuch next to him: "Go get a cotton-padded coat and put it on the third prince."
"Yes, Your Majesty" After Zhao Ting put on his cotton-padded clothes, he put on his armor again.
This time, about an inch was exposed on each side of him.
Because the cotton-padded clothes needed to take up some space, the armor was stretched open, but it still fit well after wearing the straps.
"how" "The weight is almost the same as the previous armor, and it doesn't feel bloated.
If you wear it in winter, you will definitely be very warm."
Zhao Ziliang immediately told Zheng San: "First forge a hundred sets and give them to the soldiers to try on and listen to their reactions.
If there is really no discomfort, we can start mass production."
Zheng San cupped his fists and said: "Yes, I obey your order":
