Suppose that training a soldier into a battle-hardened warrior would require the consumption of thousands of javelins and 100,000 throwing movements, which consumed immeasurable supplies.
And more than a thousand soldiers need tens of thousands of javelins, and it is difficult for Xu Hang to accomplish this feat personally.
To accomplish this task, the machine had to be built, and then the javelins would be produced like running water.
Using the rotation of the tool, the required workpiece can be turned, and as long as there is a small number of workers to control, the javelin can be continuously built.
It can be said that the birth of machine tools has an important role in promoting the entire national economy.
Xu Hang has learned that there are two extremes in the production and creation of this world.
The construction of the lowest level is completely built by coolies, through a large number of workers' labor, in the most primitive way to polish the raw materials into the required products, which is both time-consuming and laborious, but there are coolies on this planet, and those low-IQ animals can complete such a task with a little taming.
The second extreme is more theological, relying on mental power to accomplish the feat of making products!
For example, in metallurgical ironmaking, it is necessary to find people who are more friendly to flames, and this kind of person has more precise control over the flames than ordinary people.
For example, in steelmaking, people who are friendly with metal minerals are needed.
This is only one of the conditions, and the second condition is that these people must be mentally strong enough, at least enough to cover a street, so that they can continue to provide good products.
But there are not many people at the street level after all, and the spiritual power must be strong enough, but also have an affinity for minerals, and after screening layer by layer, there is not much left in the end, and it is impossible to meet the material needs of the whole people.
After years of development, they have formed large and small groups, either controlled by others, or specialized in the production of military products according to the price.
These two paths to building military products are two extremes, either particularly bad or particularly good, but neither of them requires a lot of financial support.
The first type requires a large number of people, and the second type is not large, but all of them are talents, and the cost is heavier.
Xu Hang wants to build a javelin, and he can't do it without hundreds of millions of dream coins, and although his financial resources are not unable to support it, but when it comes to training, Xu Hang is obviously unwilling.
After thinking about it, he came up with the idea of building a machine tool.
The 21st century machine tool Xu Hang will definitely not be able to build, there are no twists and turns that a person can play with, but the simple machine tool is not impossible, as long as one of the links to build the javelin can be completed, the rest can be completed with the black technology of the element decomposition synthesizer.
Xu Hang's idea is very simple, as long as there is enough iron ore and has a device to melt iron ore into molten iron, pour molten iron onto the mold, and after cooling treatment, a simple javelin will be made.
Because the purpose of the javelin is to charge and disrupt the enemy's position, it doesn't need to be very precise, and the hardness is OK to be used, anyway, it is a disposable item.
Xu Hang thought about it for a while, he had a little brother like Ketugeya, after borrowing the other party's natural skills, the flames released by himself had reached yellow-white, the temperature was about 4000 degrees, and the temperature of iron was about 1500 degrees, Xu Hang could easily melt iron ore into molten iron!
Melting molten iron is only the first step, the next step is to make the required steel in the right proportions.
The third step is to cool down, which is also very simple for Xu Hang, by accidentally eating the snowflake ability evolved by the ice snake, Xu Hang can easily control the temperature.
"Then let's do the second step."
With a decision in his heart, Xu Hang handed over the task of finding supplies to the ironclad soldiers who trained their ability to fly in the air, and explained to them that they would bring iron ore, wood with extremely high carbon content and other raw materials when they returned.
Perhaps there are no such supplies in the desert, but with an aerial mount like a pterodactyl, it only takes a short time for the soldiers to find hundreds of miles around without worrying about not finding the supplies they need.
Xu Hang also thought about the consequences of doing this, sending the pterodactyls out with such fanfare would inevitably arouse the vigilance of other forces, and list their flying cavalry as potential enemies, and at that time, maybe the people on this planet would stand on the opposite side of the ironclad soldiers.
After all, in the face of such a huge flying army, no one is not afraid, and no one is not blushing.
But it is only a matter of time before the Flying Legion is exposed, even if it is hidden at this time, it will be known by other forces sooner or later, not to mention that it can still play a deterrent role before the surrounding forces unite, and by the time they realize that they must cooperate to resist the Flying Legion army, this legion has been trained by Xu Hang into an elite!
It was with this in mind that Xu Hang gradually unveiled the face of the flying legion and showed it to the outside world.
Over the course of a day, soldiers returned one after another, and after the addiction of flying in the sky, each soldier was in high spirits, holding the neck of the pterodactyl like his most beloved person.
These returning soldiers brought a large amount of iron ore to Xu Hang, stacked together like a hill, so that Xu Hang no longer had to worry about raw materials.
This is the advantage of forming a force, if it is Xu Hang alone, I don't know how long it will take to complete such a task.
After getting these materials, Xu Hang immediately started his own synthesis work.
He needed a reformer device that could fill the main raw materials such as molten iron, scrap steel, and ferroalloys, and rely on the physical heat of the molten iron itself and the chemical reaction between the components of the molten iron to generate heat, and then refine the steel he needed.
This is also the most basic smelting device for carbon steel and alloy steel, which is suitable for alloys with less strict requirements for raw materials, large capacity and many varieties of production.
The reformer is nearly cylindrical in shape, there is no lid at the top, and a long oxygen lance is hung down to undergo a redox reaction with the molten iron at high temperatures to remove impurities.
One end of the reformer furnace is equipped with a taphole, which is used to pour molten steel into the molten steel ladle, and at the same time add deoxidizer for deoxidation and adjust the composition.
Only after the molten steel is qualified, can it be poured into the required casting, although Xu Hang's requirements are not high, but the javelin head must be sharp, and at the same time ensure that it will not be torn and broken by the air during the flight.
Only a javelin that has successfully landed can pose a threat to the target.
The reformer also has a waste gas collection device, and if these brown toxic gases are not recovered, they will inevitably cause harm to the environment.
Even if Xu Hang is not a local, the cute environment is firmly remembered by him, which is the most basic point that every traverser must do and spread.
Two flowers.
