Yimini thought for a moment before responding.
"Master, the assembly can be completed by mid-August at the latest, and the remaining armor can be delivered to Lord Rose."
The Blacksmith Workshop forges the armor plates needed for Composite Armor.
These are then assembled and produced by the Textile Workshop.
This is why he is willing to allow the apprentices in the Blacksmith Workshop to take a rest.
Because even though the Blacksmith Workshop is focused on the construction of the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace,
Composite Armor is still being produced at normal rates!
Lynn said, "Alright, try to speed up the process as much as possible."
"Apart from Composite Armor, how is the progress on the linen robe and pants and straw weaving?"
This time, Kuisi did not hesitate; she explained.
"Master, the linen cloth in the raw materials storage area has already been depleted."
"Now we are using newly harvested linen, and after the retting process, we can continue..."
"So far, four thousand sets of linen robe and pants have been produced."
Lynn said, "That's not enough. While not affecting the production of Composite Armor,"
"you can allocate an appropriate amount of labor to join the production of robes and pants."
"You know, now it's August, and in a little over half a month, autumn will come."
"The residents of the town are increasing day by day; they need more clothes to withstand the autumn cold."
Yimini replied earnestly, "Master Lynn, I understand."
"I will immediately adjust and allocate labor within the workshop to strive to produce the necessary clothing as soon as possible."
Seeing Lynn had no more words, Yimini continued to explain.
"Master, the weaving of straw products is ongoing every day."
"Apart from the straw mats, the straw hats and shoes you instructed have been weaved into a thousand sets and delivered to Wilbur."
Lynn nodded knowingly.
A few days ago,
he saw the farmers working outdoors, wearing straw shoes and hats.
Coupled with the mint water specially brewed by the canteen chefs,
and the instructions he issued to adjust the outdoor work hours,
even in the heat of current weather,
there will never again be a large-scale incidence of heatstroke.
Glancing at Rachel, who was listening on the side, Lynn continued to speak to Yimini.
"Quickly complete the remaining Composite Armor production; the subsequent assembly of armor may change."
Yimini nodded slightly, without saying much.
In this world dominated by cold weapons,
wearing Metal Armor is always the best defense for soldiers.
Because of the existence of Metal Armor, soldiers can better protect themselves, allowing them to charge into battle and kill the enemy.
With the increase in labor force in his territory and the continuous advancement of forging technology,
the quality of armor weapons produced in the Blacksmith Workshop is also steadily improving.
At first, it relied solely on sand box casting to produce Standard Plate Armor.
Due to the standardized smelting of iron ore into molten iron, many bubbles and impurities are present in Standard Plate Armor.
Its hardness is high, but the material is brittle.
A fully cast set of Standard Plate Armor weighs as much as seventy to eighty pounds.
This severely affects the wearers' mobility and increases their energy consumption!
During the teardown and reconstruction of the Blacksmith Workshop,
he needs to optimize and redesign the armor in his territory.
Design different armor for different soldier roles.
Heavy infantry armor: The outer layer should use high-quality steel refined by the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace for crafting chest armor, back armor, and leg guards.
Ensure it can withstand attacks from enemy heavy weapons.
The middle layer uses Chain Armor, covering areas such as soldiers' underarms and the sides of the neck that are prone to attack.
Enhance the comprehensive protection of the armor.
The inner layer is fitted with thick leather and coarse wool as lining.
As a cushioning layer, while also improving wearing comfort.
The weight of the armor should be evenly distributed on the chest and back, and dispersed throughout the body with wide shoulder straps and thick leather belts at the waist.
Use thinner steel components for areas such as the legs.
Thus, reducing the weight burden of the soldiers' armor.
Light infantry armor will mainly use leather, unlike the current Composite Armor they wear.
Clearly, they are light infantry without warhorses, yet they also wear Composite Armor weighing dozens of pounds.
This severely impacts light infantry flexibility.
Besides leather, small steel plates can be added to key areas like the chest armor, abdomen, and head.
Specially treated cowhide is tough and has a certain elasticity.
The steel plates are lightweight and have some protective capability.
Use soft linen cloth as the lining.
The entire set of leather armor is overall lightweight, with its weight mainly concentrated on the upper body, and relatively light protection for the legs and arms.
This allows light infantry to move quickly on the battlefield and fight flexibly!
Apart from heavy infantry and light infantry,
the cast Standard Plate Armor worn by now three hundred heavy cavalry can similarly be optimized.
It is the 'Iron Butcher' that he instructed Clive to draw!
When the construction of the Double-chamber Reflector Furnace is complete, and high-quality steel with low carbon content is smelted,
Steel can be used to forge the necessary full-body Heavy Armor Plate and Horse Armor for 'Iron Butcher'.
Light cavalry armor: Utilize the labor advantage of the Textile Workshop to assemble lightweight Chain Armor,
or wear the Scale Armor that Flint is leading apprentices to forge and produce!
