For example, in some cartoons, some people can shape a piece of charcoal into a diamond with their bare hands.

The same element, with different crystal forms, has very different external properties.

Carbon is a C element, and diamond is also a C element.

But of the two, one is extremely fragile, and the other is the hardest substance in nature.

According to Li Mengxi's understanding, cold forging changed the crystal structure inside the armor piece.

The change in properties of iron will not be as different as that of carbon and diamond, but it can also bring about very strong changes.

If the infantry armor was placed in the late Han Dynasty, it was a powerful weapon that could change the pattern of war. Then, if cold-forged armor pieces were used to assemble the infantry armor, it would really further improve the already strong defensive capabilities of the infantry armor.

Already.

"Cold forged armor." Li Mengxi said, then turned around, "I have a method that can double the defense of this armor."

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were shocked.

With such powerful armor and double the defense, can the crossbow still break through?

Cold forging armor pieces is not technically difficult, but the difficulty lies in the high cost.

The cost of infantry armor is already high. A set of armor requires 1,800 pieces of armor, and then uses the cold forging process. A skilled blacksmith hammered for a long time before one piece of armor was thinned.

, cold forging a piece of armor requires 300 hammers, one hammer takes two seconds, and cold forging a piece of armor takes ten minutes.

One day, based on eight hours, and since you can't work at night and there is no electric light, one person can cold forge up to forty-two pieces of cold forged armor.
