to iron in terms of price and availability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that is precisely what he lacks the most at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ranch has just been built and is just starting to engage in breeding production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t have a large amount of leather to make leather armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he purchases a large volume of cowhide or pigskin from merchants, he would still need to tan them before they can be used in leather armor production.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chain armor, Lynn had considered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But very soon, Lynn dismissed the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To produce chain armor, it requires smelting iron ore and forging them into small iron rings!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, a lot of labor is needed to weave them one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time-consuming and labor-intensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Padded armor, Lynn also considered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Padded armor is made up of numerous small armor plates, woven together with cords or leather strips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, padded armor can fit well with the soldiers’ body curves, relatively providing freedom in limb movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when attacked, each armor plate can disperse the pressure it receives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just like producing chain armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Padded armor requires hammering large iron blocks into thin armor plates, and a lot of manpower to weave them with cords or leather strips to produce one piece of padded armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn can only consider it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, Lynn decided to produce standard plate armor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unlike ordinary forging of iron plates for plate armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn decided to use molds for casting production!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ehrelo bowed slightly and nodded, \"Ehrelo understands, Master Lynn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn responded and walked into the inside of the blacksmith workshop with steady steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the furnace, Lynn put on a pair of slightly blackened thick gloves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a pair of long iron tongs in the right hand, he opened the iron extraction port of the enclosed furnace with his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An enormous heat surged out from the iron extraction port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Lynn’s face was roasted red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn’s expression remained calm, moving his right hand to clamp a flaming red and orange cast iron block weighing over ten pounds from the furnace, then immediately closing the iron extraction port.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the temperature in the blacksmith workshop remained high, it was within a tolerable range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Placing the iron block under the anvil of the forging water wheel, Lynn turned on the switch of the forging water wheel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water wheel standing by began moving, driven by river water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron hammer fixed on the water wheel also spun and fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by gravity and inertia, it fell downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lowest point of the iron hammer’s fall was the large anvil where Lynn stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang clang clang...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron hammer on the forging water wheel repeatedly fell, pounding onto the flaming piece of raw iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under this force, the iron piece continuously deformed and twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carbon residue mixed in the iron ore fell off constantly, removing impurities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The densely packed crisp sounds echoed in the blacksmith shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly arrived blacksmith apprentices all stared in shock at this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Master Lynn is actually personally forging iron!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Forging Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Forging Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Forging Experience +1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the experience increased bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lynn’s mind, the knowledge of how to produce standard plate armor emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lynn continued to swing the iron hammer, he rapidly integrated the knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-quality iron piece in his hand also continued to deform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a raw iron chunk weighing over ten pounds, it gradually unfolded under hammering...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until two hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn’s mind had completely fused the memory of making chest armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron block on the anvil had transformed into a flat iron plate, just about one millimeter thick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was precisely what Lynn needed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continually hammer forged, turning cast iron from the high furnace into wrought iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then forge the wrought iron into such thin durable iron plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, differing by need, reheating at high temperature, through continuous hammering, bending, folding, and other operations, producing needed chest armor, helmet, and arm armor...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, proceed with cutting, trimming, and quenching among other processes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn walked to the not-so-distant water tank and took several gulps of well water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During these two hours, Lynn’s clothes were completely soaked with sweat, dried, and soaked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a cycle repeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until he removed his clothes, like those blacksmith apprentices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, it was only a temporary relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high temperature in the blacksmith workshop made Lynn sweat like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>滴 across滴汇聚下,流淌下这些他的肌肉上涌出...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his complexion changed into a fiery red due to the heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a work environment, increasing their salary by one penny is reasonable and fair!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lynn felt like it was a bit too little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the forging area, taking out the thick iron plate, Lynn continued to hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lynn directly used his body outline as reference and began making the chest armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His physique, in the whole territory, is not considered very burly but rather average-sized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time swiftly moved forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After multiple forging, hammering, and heating, the thick iron plate changed, becoming curved, resembling a body contour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forging and hammering continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick iron plate on the anvil wasn’t just a flat piece anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It gained dimensions and started to take shape...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chest armor’s semi-finished product, forging completed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spending nearly an entire day, just to forge and shape the iron plate into the front silhouette of a vest — a chest armor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, using files and chisels for detail work, as well as quenching to increase hardness is still needed.\u003C\u002Fp>",941,"2026-05-29T04:50:48.604Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","50aa403548774f9d14d5c08b14f0a8a0f5b75bd71897bd6ae9b8e387932c311e","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-208","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-206",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
