Inside Abel's room in the side building of Harry Castle. Other than his daily Knight training, he spent the rest of his time in front of the wooden table on the second floor. He had already used more than 10 pieces of parchment paper. They were all drawings of different types of armor from this world and his previous world.
Parchment paper was very expensive. It was made from the skin of a lamb cake, and it cost 1 gold coin for 2 pieces. Most people were very careful when using it. Of course, there were also cheap parchment papers. 5 silver coins worth of parchment paper was actually made from rabbit skin. However, nobles would not use this kind of paper. The skin of lamb cake was very smooth, and it was very good for writing. Most importantly, nobles would not use fake parchment paper no matter how poor they were.
The raw material of the quill pen for writing was the thickest feather from the tip of the wing of an adult male goose. After removing the feather, the oil in the feather was removed by steaming it in water. Then, the tube head was inserted into the hot sand and waited for it to cool down naturally to strengthen the feather tube. Finally, the tip of the pen was cut diagonally and one centimeter vertically at the tip to become a quill pen for writing.
Abel was starting to get familiar with this kind of primitive writing tool. He knew the history of his previous world, so he would not invent something that would change the course of civilization. In his previous life, when a big country in the east invented paper and spread it to the west, it led to the rapid development of western education. The knowledge that was originally in the hands of a small number of people became easily accessible to the masses, and a revolution happened.
In this world, the history of the Holy Continent had been going on for tens of thousands of years. He didn't believe that there was no smart person who could invent something like cheap grass paper, but he had never heard of it. He only knew from history that this world rarely changed, and civilization was almost at a standstill.
Abel was very satisfied with his current position in society. In this world, he only cared about his family and friends. On top of that, he had secrets on him, so he would not try to invent something that could change the course of civilization.
The main reason he locked himself in his room for 3 days was to make armor for the king's award ceremony in 2 months. As a Knight who had been awarded a medal for his military exploits, armor was a way to show off his power to the commoners, show off his power to the nobles, and show off his bravery to the king.
On the 10 pieces of parchment paper, there were a few designs of armor that Abel had already learned. However, he was not satisfied with this kind of armor that had no special features.
Abel was still very young. His body was still not fully grown yet. Even after a long period of Knight training and becoming an official Knight, he was already much taller than his peers. At the moment, he was only 1.7 meters tall. Although this was the height of a normal person, Knight's were different. They were eating the best food and going through the perfect training. Their average height was 1.9 meters. Therefore, armor was normally made for a normal person's height......
Abel was only 13 years old. He only needed to make a simple temporary armor that fit him. However, Lord Marshall loved Knight's armor very much. He often took out the imitation Red Sun Armor to play with. Although that armor was already very dazzling in Harvest City, in Bakong City, the capital of the Duchy of Carmel, it was a little shabby.
Abel wanted Lord Marshall to wear the coolest Knight's armor in front of his friends and family in the Hari family of Gamba when he was at the peak of his life.
In his previous world, the level of armor production was not much different from this world. However, with the rapid development of modern civilization, all kinds of armor in movies and animations had been drawn by designers to be extremely cool. Countless cosplay fans used all kinds of materials to recreate those armor, and many designs were released. Some even made CAD models.
With the improvement of Abel's power of the will, as long as he calmed down, he could clearly remember everything that he had seen in the past. In his memory, which had been baptized by countless information on the modern internet, there were a lot of different armor designs.
The elegant elven style armor in "The Lord of the Rings" perfectly reflected the elves' slender figure and neutral beauty. The elven style patterns made the armor look extra luxurious. However, the biggest problem with that armor was that it didn't have enough protection, so Abel rejected it without hesitation.
The blue armor with long horns and a ram on the right shoulder of the Warrior of Light in "Final Fantasy" looked very brave after wearing it. However, the tight fitting design gave Abel a headache. How could he go to Lord Marshall and ask him to take off his clothes so that he could measure his body size?
While the other blacksmiths were still thinking about how to turn the limited number of designs into finished products, Abel was having a hard time choosing among the countless designs.
A set of armor appeared in his mind, along with a large number of CAD models and dimensional drawings. This was a set of armor design for the Golden Saint Seiya, a set of 12 armors.
In particular, the Taurus armor had two forms. One was a four-legged Taurus that was placed on the ground, and the other was a Taurus Heavy Armor that was draped over the body.
The Taurus armor was divided into a helmet with horns, a pair of shoulder pads with rams, a breastplate, a back plate, a waist plate, arms and legs, and a pair of shoes.
Abel used 120 skills to forge all of them. Due to the ready-made blueprints in his mind, the forging went very smoothly. He especially strengthened the thickness of the front and back of the armor. In the end, a pile of grayish-black parts were scattered on the floor of the operation room.
Looking at the grayish-black parts of the armor, Abel felt that it was very different from the golden armor he imagined. Currently, the color of the iron forged from iron ore was grayish-black. The quality was good, but the color was really difficult to accept.
Abel's operation room had some tools he made, such as a machine that would be used to polish the surface of the iron. It would be used to drive the conveyor belt by stepping on the pedal and making the polishing turntable spin rapidly.
During polishing, a round grindstone would be placed on the turntable. If it needed to be polished, animal fur would be replaced and fixed.
Abel made this machine to replace the time spent on hand polishing. The efficiency was many times faster and the effect was better than manual polishing.
The parts on the floor were initially polished one by one, and then polished. Soon, all the parts had a smooth surface that shone with a cold light. Although the color was still not that good, it was much better than before.
One of the materials to be used was a type of poisonous mercury. For his own safety, Abel put on a self-made mask.
He took out the gold foil that Butler Lindsey bought and cut it into thin strips with a pair of scissors. He put it in a crucible and put it on the stove. Then he poured in mercury and stirred it with a gold rod. When the gold foil strips were completely dissolved in mercury, he poured it into a cold water pan and cooled it down. A silvery-white paste of gold was produced.
When Abel saw the silvery-white paste of gold, he had an idea. This paste of gold was also considered a liquid. If he combined it, would he get a better gold paste?
The rich and willful Abel put the silvery-white paste of gold into three bottles and put it into the Hradik Cube. He clicked the combine button, and the gold paste in the three bottles disappeared. A crystal bottle with a Black Wind grid appeared in the Hradik Cube. The paste of gold inside had changed from silvery-white to dark gold.
Abel took out the dark gold paste from the Hradik Cube and looked at it carefully. He didn't know how the Hradik Cube differentiated the grades, but he knew that this bottle of gold paste in his hand was definitely the best and most perfect gold paste.
He mixed the gold paste with salt and alum to make a liquid and smeared it evenly on the surface of the Taurus Armor parts.
Then he put these parts one by one on the charcoal fire to bake. He rotated them while baking them. As time passed, the surface of the parts began to gradually shine, as if a layer of mercury had been injected.
As he continued to bake, the mercury continued to evaporate, and the layer of gold paste gradually turned golden. He didn't know if it was because of the combination of Hradik Cube, but the final color of the gold paste was a particularly dazzling gold. It almost didn't need any processing to become a perfect mirror without any flaws.
Abel didn't care about the cost. He repeated this gilding process three times, and finally got the finished product of the armor full of golden light.
He put the excess gold paste solution into a bottle and sealed it, in case the armor was scratched in the future.
The main body of the armor had been completed. Then Abel used a rune pen to draw "12 # Sol" runes on the chest and the back of the armor, and inlaid them with diamonds.
The next thing he needed to do was to ask the tailor and leathersmith in the castle to make the inner lining of the armor. When everything was done, it took Abel ten days to complete the Taurus Armor. This was the longest time he had ever taken to make a piece of equipment.
