Li Tianbao looked back, and it turned out that it was Ulanda hiding at the door, seemingly waiting for him. Pen ร fun ร Pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
"What's upset about me, it's your own business." After speaking, Li Tianbao asked, "Are you waiting for me?" โ
Ulanda said respectfully, "Sage, I don't know whether to say it or not?" โ
Li Tianbao thought for a while and said with a smile: "But it's okay to say it." โ
Ulanda looked inside the room and found that Wei Na was still dressing, so she said softly, "How long have the saint and the lady known each other?" โ
Li Tianbao heard what Ulanda said, and thought of his previous performance, so he said: "It's not a long time, it can be said that we have just known each other for a short time." โ
"And what do you know about her?" Ulanda continued to ask.
Li Tianbao was a little impatient, and hurriedly said: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, I'm not a patient person." โ
Ulanda thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "If I'm not mistaken, although the saint is very attractive to women, he doesn't seem to know women very well, if I say it wrong, please don't be angry with the saint, I don't think the saint's wife is like a simple character, if it doesn't hurt the saint, it's naturally good, but in case it ...... the saint."
Li Tianbao didn't wait for Ulanda to finish speaking, and he had already cast a pair of cold eyes on his face.
Ulanda hurriedly explained, "Sage, I'm just kind-hearted. โ
Li Tianbao smiled, and then said: "I know that you are a guy who has seen thousands of women, but do you know that Wei Na once saved my life, and more than once sacrificed her life to protect me." โ
After hearing this, Ulanda hurriedly said: "That's because I'm too worried, and I ask the saint not to blame." Li Tianbao stretched out his hand and patted Ulanda's shoulder and said, "It's okay, I know you are kind." โ
Wei Na had already walked out at this time, and then said to Li Tianbao with a smile: "Look at your serious face, what are you talking about?" "It's nothing" Li Tianbao laughed and said, "I just told Ulanda that when he does business in the future, he will keep more good girls for me." โ
Wei Na smiled, with a look of disbelief, and said, "Hehe, it's okay, you!" To have such a big appetite. The two talked and laughed, and were taken upstairs to the restaurant by Ulanda.
Through the window, Li Tianbao heard the sound of shouting, and it was not lively. Pushing open the window, Li Tianbao saw that the lights in the compound were as bright as day. It's not easy to have such a desolate place, and unlike Taturi, it's quite lively.
Li Tianbao hurriedly asked, "Why is it so lively here?" โ
Ulanda hurriedly came to Li Tianbao and replied, "This is a nightclub, and there are often some people from big cities who come here for recreation in this generation. So it's been a buzz here for so many years. And there are people from neighboring countries who come here to import women, so it has naturally become an entertainment resort. โ
Hearing what Ulanda said, Li Tianbao understood in his heart that the voice of this trafficker was so good, and his influence in this generation was also quite good. This made Li Tianbao even more puzzled, why these people respected him so much.
"Saint, please come and eat." Ulanda said to Li Tianbao.
When Li Tianbao turned around, a large table of food was already full, and the table was not surrounded by a group of big men like Taturi, but only Wei Na alone.
Li Tianbao walked up to Wei Na and sat down, and then Ulanda did the opposite of him. At this moment, the door was divided left and right, and the four beauties who had just provided services to Li Tianbao walked in, and then walked straight behind Li Tianbao, and picked up the wine bottle and filled the wine glass in front of him.
Li Tianbao glanced at Wei Na and found that she was chewing slowly on the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table. Then he said to the four girls, "Let's eat together at the table, and let Ulanda send you back after eating." โ
"What? Send us back. The four girls looked at each other, and then peeked at Ulanda, and found that he had no objection, and was glad not to know how to express it.
A few girls hurriedly arrived at the table and then devoured them, Li Tianbao looked at their appearance and thought, "These poor women seem to have suffered no less." โ
After the four girls had eaten, Ulanda ordered a few people to retreat, and then said to Li Tianbao with a smile: "I didn't expect the saint to still have a bodhisattva's heart!" It's really different from when you kill a horse thief. โ
Li Tianbao smiled, and then said: "None of them died, I, Li Tianbao, never killed anyone, those guys were just injured." โ
Ulanda said: "I admire the bravery of the saint, I heard that you are in the antique business, there is something I don't know if you like it or not." After saying that, Ulanda clapped her hands, and then the door was divided to the left and right, and two beautiful women in few clothes walked in dragging something that seemed to be a little heavy.
Li Tianbao saw that someone wanted to give a gift again, and thought to himself, this time this thing should be a lot more expensive.
When he walked to Li Tianbao with the two of them, he was no longer as polite as he was when he treated Taturi, but directly got up and reached out to take the tray.
"Sure enough, it's a little heavy, but it's okay, it's not particularly heavy." Lifting the red cloth on it, Li Tianbao saw a fine black sรจ metal woven thing, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a very beautiful soft armor, but the strange thing was that the soft armor only had one right sleeve.
"What is this?" Just as Li Tianbao was about to ask this question, the blue mist immediately appeared, and a blue screen was formed in the sky above the soft sword.
I saw a group of craftsmen smelting a black sรจ metal, and then smelted it into gold wire through various processes, and after several years of painstaking production, it was made into this soft armor. What Li Tianbao didn't expect was that this thing had just been completed by the craftsmen, but the craftsmen in the shed had experienced a catastrophe - an earthquake. Along with the craftsmen and the soft armor, they were all crushed between the rocks until a mine worker excavated it in modern times, and the latter's heart fell into the hands of the mine owner.
After seeing the situation, the blue mist flew back to Li Tianbao's eye sockets, and then he said a little strangely: "I haven't understood what age I have, and I don't know what the use of this thing is."
"How's it going, saint? What is this thing for? Ulanda asked.
Li Tianbao didn't answer Ulanda's question, and then asked, "This thing belongs to a mine owner?" โ
"That's right, that guy is very rich, he comes to stay with us for a month or two every year, eats, drinks, and gambles here, you know, as long as the rich man sticks to the gambling, then no matter how much money will be put in. The guy lost this thing to me the other day, but I don't know what it is, but it looks like it's been around for some years, and I know you're playing with antiques, but I don't really have anything particularly good here, so I had to take it out. โ
"Xiaobao, how do you know that this thing belongs to the mine owner, do you know him?" Wei Na wondered.
Li Tianbao looked back and smiled: "That's right, I knew each other before, but that guy may not have paid attention to me." With casual words, Wei Na was sent out, and Li Tianbao continued to examine the soft armor, and then he had a guess.
"This should be an ancient one called 'golden silk soft armor'." Li Tianbao muttered to himself.
"Golden Silk Soft Armor?" Wei Na and Ulanda said at the same time.
Li Tianbao has only seen this kind of thing on the Internet, and he said before that he is very fond of weapons, so he has not checked things on the Internet, and the golden silk soft armor is also something that Li Tianbao has seen, and he has paid special attention to it.
"Golden thread, this black thing doesn't look like gold?" Wei Na wondered.
Li Tianbao smiled and said, "In ancient times, gold meant metal, not necessarily gold. The so-called 'gold wire soft armor' refers to a vest woven with thin metal wire, which can be worn on the body to play a protective role. It is actually the miniature version of the European chain mail. โ
"Then this thing should be worth a lot of money?" Wei Na said.
Li Tianbao continued to reply with what he had seen on the Internet: "It was very difficult to weave armor from wire in ancient times, so its price was extremely expensive. The price is not less than the same weight of silver, and the quality is not inferior to the same weight of gold. So there is no possibility of widespread use at all. โ
Ulanda laughed happily when she heard this, and said, "Then this thing is like body armor, and the saint should like it very much." โ
Li Tianbao sighed and told him what he knew about the golden silk soft armor. Like chain mail, gold silk soft armor is very effective against slashing weapons such as knives, which can prevent knives from slashing into limbs, and reduce the force of knives to relatively minor blunt injuries by increasing the contact surface. However, there is a limit to this effect, and the effectiveness of heavy slashing weapons such as axes is very limited, and this kind of weapon can directly cut off the golden silk soft armor. However, because the woven mesh is relatively sparse, piercing weapons such as bows and spears can easily concentrate their force to cause huge pressure at a small point, and then destroy the armor. Therefore, the role of gold silk soft armor for piercing xing weapons is very limited.
For blunt weapons, the golden silk soft armor is almost completely defenseless. However, fortunately, because heavy armor was not popular in ancient China, there were not many blunt weapons, and the requirements for blunt weapon defense were not urgent.
There are many disadvantages of gold silk soft armor. Due to the limitations of ancient metalworking technology, the wire is relatively thick and the weaving is relatively rough, which leads to the weight of the gold wire soft armor is not light. And because the soft armor is soft, its weight can not be borne evenly, and the force is completely on the wearer's two shoulders, which can easily cause the wearer's shoulder fatigue. Shoulder fatigue on the battlefield means that you can't swing your weapon, which is fatal.
The general rigid armor, such as plate armor, although the weight is more than that of soft armor, but through the waist belt, hip lower armor and other parts to share the weight, it is less likely to get tired than soft armor.
To sum up, the Golden Silk Soft Armor is a heavy and expensive armor with limited effectiveness. Generally, it is only worn by important people on important occasions to prevent assassination, or for people who appear on the battlefield such as the emperor's personal expedition but absolutely do not need to fight. And body armor is the opposite. Modern body armor uses composite materials, especially ceramics, to attenuate the momentum of incoming bullets to reduce the lethality of the bullet or even completely fail it. โ
After listening to Li Tianbao's statement, Ulanda was a little embarrassed and said: "It seems that this thing is still not as easy to wear as body armor?" I am truly ugly in front of the saints. โ
Li Tianbao smiled and comforted: "Don't say that, in fact, body armor also has its limitations, because body armor is mainly used to defend against puncture weapons such as bullets, and the defense against blunt weapons is also better, but slashing weapons such as swords will cause some damage to the structure of body armor." If the force is strong enough or sharp enough, it is easy to pierce with a sword. (To be continued.) )
