Chapter 1114 Heavy Armor

"Ha, ha!" Li Jiyu was wearing the plate armor sent by Wang Zheng, and vigorously waved the big ax in his hand, doing a series of actions such as chopping, chopping, smashing, hugging, and cutting.

He even played three-flower capping with one hand, and only the big ax in his hand danced vigorously.

"How is it?" Seeing that Li Jiyu danced for a long time without disturbing his breath, Zhang Shun couldn't help but treat him with admiration.

It turned out that Zhang Shun had Wukong, Wang Jinyi, Chen Changling, Cao Bianjiao, and Wei Congyi under his command, but he ignored Li Jiyu, unexpectedly he had such abilities.

It turned out that Li Jiyu was using a six-foot long axe with a blade on one side and a sharp-edged back on the other. This is a typical long-axe shape since the Tang Dynasty.

The ax itself weighs ten catties, including the handle it weighs twelve catties.

In terms of its weight, not to mention Wukong's [-]-jin golden cudgel, it is much lighter than Zhang's [-]-jin three-pointed two-edged knife, but Zhang Shun still dare not underestimate him. .

He was born in the construction industry in his previous life, and he had also used a ten-pound sledgehammer, so of course he knew how heavy this thing was.

What's more, the handle of the hammer in the previous life was only three feet long, but Li Jiyu's was six feet long.

According to the principle of leverage, it is known that compared with the former, it consumes more than twice as much effort.

"Okay, what a strong hand!" Li Jiyu put away the heavy ax in his hand, and couldn't help saying, "It doesn't affect my swinging the ax at all."

"It's just that this armor is not very comfortable. It is not as convenient as the light armor and dark armor."

"Is that so?" Zhang Shun was quite surprised when he heard this.

He originally thought that the part of the plate armor that had the greatest impact on flexibility should be the arms, but he never expected that the breastplate actually affected the force.

Zhang Shun didn't give up, and quickly picked out a few people who were similar in stature to him, and asked them to experiment separately, but the results were almost the same.

"King Shun!" Seeing this, Wang Zheng couldn't help feeling a little ashamed.The armor that I had worked so hard to find had no advantages.

"It's okay." Zhang Shun waved his hands and said, "The ruler is long and the inch is short."

"This iron-arm-hand connection method is quite exquisite, and it is also enough for the rebels to use as a reference to learn from each other's strengths."

"Then is the quality still tested?" Li Jiyu looked at the shiny "plate armor" in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little bit reluctant.

"Try, why don't you try?" Zhang Shun asked strangely, "Don't you want to be shot twice by the enemy on the battlefield, and the front and back are transparent?"

Li Jiyu stopped talking when he heard the words. No matter how beautiful the armor is, if the quality is worrying, it is useless.

"Come on, try this!" Zhang Shun smiled and took out his newly designed rifle, and handed it to Li Jiyu.

These two firecrackers, one long and one short, were originally taken as samples, and were prepared to be mass-produced by Wang Weiyi, but now they just happened to be used for experiments.

"Bang!" There was only a loud noise, and Li Jiyu couldn't help shaking when he was hit by the powerful recoil of the new firecracker.

"It's so powerful!" Li Jiyu couldn't help but said in surprise.

"King Shun is really talented. He has the most important weapons in the Far West, and he can design the Far West guns by himself!" Wang Zheng couldn't help but admire him.

He had never seen a Spanish heavy arquebus, so he was quite surprised by the power of this firearm.

"Go, see how the armor is doing!" In Zhang Shun's position, he had never heard any flattering words, so he didn't bother to respond to it.

Li Jiyu ran over when he heard the words, exclaimed after a while, and asked the soldiers to help him run back with two sets of armor.

"Look, King Shun!" Li Jiyu couldn't help pointing at the two armors.

Zhang Shun saw that the "plate armor" was sunken in, and the projectile was inlaid in the deepest part of the hollow, even if it didn't penetrate, it was not far away.

Looking at the Ming armor again, the chest plate is also dented, but the projectile flew to nowhere, and it didn't hit it.

It turned out that the cold-forged armor was of good quality and high hardness, and it actually withstood the shooting of the new type of firecracker.

"That...that, in fact, this breastplate can still be thickened..." Wang Yan couldn't help but argue in a low voice.

"No need!" Zhang Shun waved his hand, mentally understanding that this armor is not far from being eliminated.

It turned out that the test distance this time was [-] steps. Although both sets of armor barely resisted the penetration of the bullets, it also showed from the side that within [-] steps, no matter which one was bound to be powerless.

"Let's do this!" Zhang Shun pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but set his tone, "This new heavy armor is mainly made of Ming armor, and it is all nailed with foam nails."

"The joints of the iron arm and leg armor are all imitated from plate armor, so they must be covered tightly."

"Give me a piece of armor that must be hammered and hardened. It should be carburized and carburized. It should be cold forged and cold forged. The sound of the ground shall prevail."

"After the armor piece is made, it will be tested immediately. If it can be penetrated, it will be punished as unqualified, and it will be traced back to the craftsman, and the crime will be judged according to the severity!"

"The front breastplate should be thick, and it must reach one point, and the rest of the part is slightly thinner, depending on the part, it can be scored as seven or five centimeters."

Zhang Shun's so-called "one cent", "seven centimeters", and "five centimetres" are all thickness standards. Among them, one cent is about [-] millimeters in later generations, seven centimeters is equal to [-] millimeters in later generations, and five centimeters is equal to [-] millimeters in later generations. .

In this day and age, the normal nail thickness is about one millimeter. Zhang Shun opened his mouth and set a high standard for Wang Yan. He almost cried.

"His Royal Highness King Shun, if this is the case, I'm afraid this armor will not be able to bear sixty catties!" Wang Wei couldn't help reminding.

"Is it so heavy?" Zhang Shun was taken aback, and couldn't help frowning, "Well, the nail plate can be made bigger if it meets the treatment methods such as carburizing and cold forging."

"Non-critical parts can reduce the thickness, subject to five percent, and try to reduce some weight."

"Then... that's fine!" In fact, Wang Yan is not afraid of forging. He now has [-] to [-] hydraulic forging hammers, all of which are set up in the mountains north of Xi'an, which can fully meet the needs of forging.

"The battle jacket and cotton armor are also indispensable!" Zhang Shun turned to Li Jiyu after arranging Wang Yu.

In addition to the hard bulletproof means in the Ming Dynasty, there was also soft rebound armor.

Its typical representatives are cotton armor and battle jacket, both of which are made of cotton, which are solid after soaking in water.

When charging into battle, you can put it on the outside of the iron armor to enhance the defense against firecrackers.

Among them, the battle jacket is a special short-sleeved cotton coat, which was made and used in North Korea until the [-]th century.

After being captured by the Americans, it became one of the sources of the concept of body armor.

The cotton armor is also the cotton armor, and the earliest production method is the same as that of the battle jacket.

But later, as the firearms became more and more sharp, the cotton armor was unable to do what it wanted, so iron sheets were added inside, and it became the classic cotton armor style in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

However, in addition to this, sometimes the attacking team will deliberately put a layer of pure cotton armor on the outside of the armor to enhance the bulletproof effect.

In fact, Zhang Shun also had the same idea. Since the pure iron armor can't stop the projectile, I simply added a soft cotton armor on the outside to form a buffer to solve the problem.

　In the seventeenth century, at the point when firecrackers eliminated armor, both the East and the West came out with armor enhancements for firecrackers.In the west, the plate armor with dome structure is thickened to a terrible 3-6mm, which is used to resist firecrackers.

　　But the East adopted a combination of soft and hard to solve the problem. Of course, in the end, the armor was still not as fast as the evolution speed of the firecracker, so the East and the West gave up the treatment together. Everyone simply canceled the armor and put on the military uniform to...
