The rise of the prince

Chapter 159 The Beginning of Changing the World

This is the first time for Li Ye to observe a set of armor at such a close distance. This is a set of "Black Lacquer Shun Shui Shan Wen Jia". More like a work of art.

Each piece of armor is exquisitely crafted. There are phoenix wings on the pocket, and there are animal heads on the abdomen. Just by looking at it, you can tell that this set of armor weighs more than fifty catties. Yan Yan told him that this is the battle armor of King Xiao back then.

Li Ye excitedly wanted to try it on, but it was impossible for him to wear it by himself.

Qiu'er and Yue'er couldn't move, so they asked Ji Chunsheng and Yan Shen to help. The help of two people is necessary to wear the armor. If there is only one person helping, it is impossible to wear it, and it is even more impossible to wear it by yourself.

First take off the coat, put on the soft lining, then put on the innermost soft breastplate, tie the arm guards and short mandarin jacket style shoulder pads.

The main body of the shoulder pads is leather, but the shoulders are fixed with iron armor plates to protect the shoulders and neck. The thin leather below is inlaid with iron plates, both front and rear. When put down, they can just protect the chest and back. The front and back of the back are tied separately, and fastened with a belt. Without help, you can't fasten or open it by yourself.

Li Ye can feel that the shoulder guard alone weighs about ten catties, and it's just the inner armor.

Then there is the carapace. The carapace is made of thick iron armor, and the inner layer is padded with cotton cloth. It is wrapped from the back, gathered around the abdomen, and fastened with a belt. Li Ye feels that under this kind of protection, a sneak attack from behind can only be done with a hammer. Ordinary swords and crossbows would not be able to hurt him.

Next is the main part of the armor, the outer breastplate and skirt armor. This part is also the heaviest. All of them are made of densely packed iron armor pieces. waist belt.

It became heavy instantly after putting it on, and Li Ye could feel that the weight on his body was already over fifty catties!

What is the concept of fifty catties? The water dispenser is full of water, and the bucket is about thirty catties. Now it is like two buckets of water hanging on the body, but at this time the armor is not fully worn.

There are also outer shoulder armor and plastron. Li Ye thinks this plastron can be called crotch protection, because its main function is to protect the second child, after all, it is a relatively weak part.

Finally, there is the pocket hood decorated with phoenix wings, all neatly dressed and majestic, and Li Xingzhou's bones are good, so he doesn't look much bigger when he wears the armor left by King Xiao at a young age.

Qiu'er and Yue'er could see little stars all over her eyes, so handsome and majestic, but very heavy.

For the first time, Li Ye felt the difficulty of ancient soldiers. This set of armor was worn in four layers from the inside to the outside, including the inner lining!It weighs 500 to [-] kilograms, and it doesn't affect walking, but if you wear it for half an hour, you will feel tired and out of breath. If you run for less than [-] meters, you will be tired and lose your strength.

But the effect is also outstanding. Under the protection of such a set of armor, ordinary people can't be opponents at all, unless they are exhausted.

If it's all about perseverance until the moment of life and death, whoever can persevere will be the final winner.

But thinking about wearing such an iron can for a whole day tomorrow, Li Ye almost burst into tears of grievance, isn't this terrible!
Ji Chunsheng seemed to understand what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is just a show, not fighting for your life on the battlefield, you just need to be majestic, and you don't need to wear the inner layers of armor at all, as long as the outermost one is fine."

Li Ye slapped his head, yes, am I stupid!

So I removed the inner layers and only wore the outer ones, and the weight dropped by about half at once, and there was not much difference in appearance, so I was relieved, otherwise I would probably suffocate him to death in this armor for a day if he was fully armed.

After trying on the armor, everything was ready. On the first night of the new year, the palace was still lively, many people set off firecrackers, and Yue'er excitedly followed the maids of the palace to set off firecrackers. After all, she was a child.

After eating with everyone, Li Ye sat in the small pavilion in the courtyard and kept thinking about tomorrow's affairs. He was still very curious about the imperial army, after all, the army in any era is the actual embodiment of power.

At this moment, Qiu'er came to him quietly from the study room, holding paper and a quill pen that Li Ye specially got for her, which was not conducive to drawing.

"My son, I understand." She happily showed the book in her hand in front of Li Ye.

Li Ye looked at her curiously, pulled the little girl over and put it on his lap: "What do you want to understand?"

The little girl's face turned red, but she didn't break free, but continued: "Didn't the prince tell me that all objects will fall because of a force towards the ground, just like throwing a stone, it will fall, and the speed is still accelerating. I think It doesn't matter how big or heavy the stone is, the acceleration is the same."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, then he was shocked, and then he was ecstatic, and he tried his best to ask quietly, "Why?"

"Your Majesty, look." She showed Li Ye the paper in her hand. There were many figures drawn by her on it, because Li Ye taught her geometry, a sub-subject of mathematics, recently.

"I was thinking that Shizi said that you can use line segments and arrows to represent the direction of telemotion, whether it can also be used to represent the trend of faster speed, so I tried it and used it to draw two stones of different sizes The landing process."

As she spoke, she drew it for Li Ye on the paper: "The flat line means horizontal acceleration, and the vertical line means downward acceleration, but this is how the stone falls to the ground after being thrown."

As she spoke, she drew two parabolas of different lengths: "Throwing stones from the same height, the larger stones will fly closer, and the smaller stones will fly farther away. If you add a line segment with an arrow on each point. "

She was drawing while talking, and then seriously said her conjecture: "You can see that the horizontal speed is always decreasing, otherwise its trajectory should be like this." She drew a slanted straight line, and Li Ye I sighed in my heart, yes, that's exactly it!This is how it moves if you throw a rock in space.

"But the stone does not fall like this. Although it is easy to be confused at ordinary times, if you only look at the trajectory graph, even if the size of the stone is different, and the flying distance is different, the distance that changes is only horizontal, but the vertical distance does not change." She said that she carefully drew the notes on the side of the drawing.

"So the changes in the height of the stones are the same. I also thought why the stones of different sizes were thrown at the ferry that day, but they landed at the same time. Because the changes in the horizontal direction are removed, they are the same regardless of the degree of change. .”

Li Ye was stunned. He could think of so many things after only teaching some basic geometry knowledge. Is this the so-called genius?It really made him ashamed!
Qiu'er immediately frowned again: "But I don't know how they change. I just guess that if the object is so heavy that the force of the air blocking it can be ignored, the change of their fall is the same."

Li Ye was amazed, couldn't help hugging the little girl in his arms, and kissed her fair forehead: "You have done a good job, many people have nothing in their lives to get to your step, but you only It took a few months."

Qiu'er blushed slightly, she shrank into his arms lightly: "Because the prince taught me."

Li Ye laughed: "It's not that simple. Countless people are better educated than you, and there are only a few top ones who can do it."

"No one can teach you better than Shizi." The little girl said seriously.

"Hahaha, okay, I've learned how to pat my son's horse, you little girl, if you don't learn well, I will punish you to sleep in bed tonight." Li Ye smiled, and Qiu'er in his arms blushed suddenly, too shy to answer. spoke.

Li Ye turned her shy little face: "From now on, this conjecture will be called 'Qiuer's conjecture', go get a pen and paper and write it down, this is the starting point for changing the world."
