I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 366 Proper Black Technology
Have you heard of "Ming Jia" and "Dark Armor"?

Ming armor means that the nails are located in the bright place. Copper nails still need to be polished from time to time, otherwise they will rust, and iron nails need to be polished frequently, otherwise the speed of rusting will be faster.

For Zhu Xia's armor-tying style, the nails are usually connected in series with ropes. If one piece of rust is to be dealt with, it is often necessary to untie a lot of nails, and the process of re-stringing is very troublesome.

Zhi's armor is equipped in large quantities, most of which are breastplates, and other parts of the armor...such as neck guards, shoulder guards, waist guards, etc. are made of leather, which saves the need to dismantle a large number of armor pieces process.

However, to be honest, although the breastplate has good defensive power, it is very difficult to bend down, which hinders the soldiers from swinging blades and dodging.

On Zhu Xia's side, the equipped weapons and combat skills are actually quite different from Bai Pi's. One of them is the pursuit of flexibility, which makes Zha Jia popular.

The dark armor is the way of wearing the armor hidden inside, and there is also a layer of clothes on the outside of the armor, or simply the style of wrapping the armor in the cloth.

A long time ago, the Zhi family had a lot of armor styles. In addition to the more popular armor styles in Zhuxia, Zhiyao also studied plate armor and ring armor. It was only targeted to install a batch, but then it was quickly eliminated.

In fact, plate armor does not necessarily have to be a style that is inconvenient to move, or there is a plate armor that does not affect the flexibility of the limbs at all, that is, the process design is very strict.

As for ring armor?It took less than 20 years for Rome to research and use it, and it carried out a comprehensive elimination by itself.

"Use rivets to fasten it, copper nails are the best, willow leaves are connected and sewn under the cloth surface." Gongshuban is holding the new armor researched by Zhishi in his hand. In professional terms, it is the dark armor. , Also called cloth face armor.

In fact, Ji Zhou also had this kind of armor, which is the so-called "practice armor". It is also that the armor pieces are hidden in the cloth, but the fixing and distribution of the armor pieces are not so particular.

Zhiyao was also holding a cloth face armor in her hand. After pinching and touching, she could use her touch to distinguish the neatly arranged pieces of armor under the cloth face.

He tried to make a dent, and found that apart from being unable to be completely folded, the armor could be dent by [-] degrees, which meant that it would not hinder the soldier's flexible waist movements at all, especially movements such as rolling and jumping.

Zhishi's cloth face armor, the outermost layer of cloth is relatively rough linen, and the inner lining is made of silk.

Nowadays, when people wear clothes, they basically have several layers. Even if the lining of the cloth visor is linen, it will not rub the skin.

It's just that, the inner lining of the cloth face armor is made of silk cloth, which will obviously increase more toughness, so that it will not wear out quickly after repeated friction.

"If I remember correctly, the cloth face armor was not widely used until the middle and late Ming Dynasty?" Zhiyao thought.

There was no mistake in his memory. Cloth face armors did not appear until the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Before that, they were all armor styles with the armor piece on the outside.

In fact, during the development of armor in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Ming’s armor piercing can be said to be ahead of other countries in the world in terms of defense and beauty. However, the more sophisticated the armor piercing, the more cumbersome the workmanship, and the extra man-hours and costs required.

Zhishi's dark armor, the nail is fixed with rivets, which means that there is no cumbersome rope fixing steps. If there is a problem with any nail leaf, just pry off the rivet that fixes it. A large bunch of beetle leaves.

The armor plates hidden under the cloth cover are connected one by one, and the armor plates are layered on top of each other like fish scales.

In the current armor, the armor pieces are actually not layered, that is, they are connected by ropes and fixed on the leather, and there are still gaps between each other. The less exquisite the workmanship, the larger the gap between the armor pieces.

With the cloth face armor, the consumption of leather will be greatly reduced. Don't underestimate this point. The labor hours and costs saved are huge, and the weight can also be reduced!

Another point is that a set of cloth face armor weighs about 25 jin. It can defend well against arrows and also has a good defense against chopping. As for stabbing like spears, let alone cloth face armor, even That's the way armor is for defense. Only plate armor or breastplate can take advantage of the smoothness of the metal or carve out ribs to slide the spear point away.

Zhiyao personally tested the defensive power of the cloth face armor.

Of course, it is not for people to wear it to try it on, fix it on a wooden stake, or get half a piece of pork or something, so as to distinguish the killing effect after penetration.

Zhiyao's archery skills are super accurate, and because of her strength, her destructive power is greater than other people's archery.

"The eldest son is very human, so you can't treat him with common sense." Gongshuban took off the cloth face armor that Zhiyao had shot a few times at, and looked at the nail plate that was dented and even penetrated, speechless.

Zhiyao is actually quite satisfied. If it were armor from another family or country, the three-edged arrowhead that pierced the armor with a four-stone bow would definitely penetrate the whole of it. At least the arrow could still be hung after the cloth face armor was shot.

Later, they simply used crossbows to test, respectively from 20 meters, 30 meters, 40 meters... 30 meters, and repeated experiments. Within [-] meters, they would definitely not be able to defend against strong crossbows, but beyond [-] meters, they would have no destructive power at all.

Subsequently, weapons such as war ge, spear, axe, battle-axe, stick, sword, knife, gun, etc. were tested one by one. Facts have proved that cloth face armor is not a panacea, and the ability to prevent long-range is the best. Can say half a catty.

Take stabbing with a spear as an example, the cloth face armor is really unstoppable, in fact, neither is the piercing armor.

On the pecking of defensive Ge, the effect of cloth face armor and piercing armor is the same, that is, it cannot be defended.

If you want to defend against weapons like spears, plate armor is actually the best, but there is still the problem that Zhishi's craftsmanship cannot make plate armor that can move flexibly.

Zhiyao said: "Nowadays, my family only saves working hours and reduces maintenance procedures, and does not seek perfection."

No armor is perfect, right?Pursuing one kind will inevitably require giving up more of the other.

Furthermore, the armor that needs to be installed in large quantities is actually the pursuit of cheap, beautiful and easy maintenance.

Gongshuban breathed a sigh of relief, what they were afraid of was that Zhiyao wanted a perfect armor, not to mention that Gongshushi couldn't make it, I really don't believe anyone can research it.

"So, will it be handed over to 'Ye' city for mass production?" Gongshuban asked.

Zhiyao was a little hesitant, not that she didn't like the cloth face armor, and she was even satisfied with the cloth face armor, but the metal wire drawing technology has been researched, is it possible to improve the cloth face armor, or lock it? What about Zijia?

If a layer of chain mail can be added to the inner lining of the cloth face armor, will it be able to make up for the defense against weapons such as spears?In that case, the addition of the two defensive effects will inevitably have a stronger defensive effect.

"I didn't know much about armor's defense before. I thought ring-shaped chain mail was a defense against arrows, but I later realized that's not the case." Zhiyao has tried chain mail before, but it hasn't been mass-produced yet. .

Isn't chain mail used to defend against arrows?This knowledge has been repeatedly tested by modern people and concluded that it can defend against arrows, but the longbow of Wales, various crossbows of Zhuxia, bows and arrows of Central Asia, Tatar bows, Manchurian bows, etc. can still penetrate through the lock. Zijia.

Gongshuban listened to Zhiyao's narration, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe you can give it a try?"

However, the combination of the two armors will increase the weight from 25 jin to at least 35 jin.

Zhiyao said: "If it is difficult to lose weight, then wear a cloth mask."

Still the same sentence, nothing is perfect, and cheap and beautiful things are the most desirable.

In the current era, no family or country can surpass Zhishi in armor penetration.

Let's put it this way, the penetration rate of Zhuxia's armor was the highest in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Some scholars have repeatedly studied various documents, not only finding that the rate of armor wearing in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ridiculously high, and even conducted research on the bones of various people. , It was found that the height of people at that time was also higher than that of other eras.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the armor rate of the Han army could reach 102% for ordinary troops, and the elite armor reserves could make the armor rate as high as [-]%.

The armor rate of the traditional troops of the Zhi family is about 100%, the standing army can reach [-]%, and they are still rich.

For example, the armor rate of Qimen Army and Habayashi Army in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was also 100%, and those exceeding 100% were extra reserves.

"Arrows are the most feared thing on the battlefield. The armor rate determines the survival rate under the cover of long-range weapons. Defense against melee weapons is actually an incidental." Zhiyao must understand this.

That is to say, in addition to the pursuit of being able to defend against arrows, it is best to have defense against melee weapons.It sounds fucked up, but it's a fact.

Zhi's craftsmanship is ahead of the current era. Zhiyao should pay attention to food after pursuing the first rate.

So, the fact that an ethnic group has a long enough history has that kind of benefit. If you don't know the answer, you can't imitate it...or learn from it?
To some extent, the Zhi family is similar to the situation in the middle period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The smelting and various crafts are on the rise, and at the same time, they have obtained a large amount of livestock.

According to the research of later archaeologists on the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty, it was concluded that the average height of males in the Western Han Dynasty reached 1.7 meters.

It's just that the average height, which is generally around 1.7 meters, must be shorter or taller.

Zhishi's average height 20 years ago was about 1.6 meters 20, and the average height in the past 1.6 years has reached [-] meters [-], which is in a stage of steady increase.

Those data only proved one thing, under Zhiyao's operation, Zhishi at least surpassed before in terms of food nutrition.

What the hell is going on here?Zhiyao's understanding is the "farming" process in which a force is strengthening all aspects. It doesn't look too grand, but it is the part that a force needs most!

"With military power, literacy rate has been popularized all the time, and the next step is to give them spirit."

This is Zhiyao's cyclical and gradual process. First give materials, with the guarantee of materials, and then pursue spiritual construction!
