Paper armor is armor made of paper! A piece of paper can be broken by blowing a bomb; A stack of paper, as long as it is thick enough, not to mention the sword, the bullets can be blocked!

On the battlefield, swords and arrows have no eyes, and they rely on the armor on their bodies to protect themselves, but now the armor is mainly made of iron sheets, in addition to being heavy, it is also very expensive, and ordinary soldiers simply cannot afford it.

The fire dragon battalion is Xiao Yao's private soldiers, food, clothing, housing, transportation, weapons and equipment are all provided by Xiao Yao, although there are only a hundred people now, but it costs a lot of silver to make a hundred sets of iron armor, and if it develops in the future, tens of thousands of soldiers, buying armor can buy him poor, so Xiao Yao thought of using paper to make armor!

In fact, paper armor has appeared in this era, but it was not used on a large scale until the Tang and Song dynasties, and the armor made of paper is sufficient and cheap, and the finished product not only has good defensive performance, but also is lighter than iron armor, which can make the soldier's movements more convenient!

The production of paper armor is also very simple, even if the waterproof oil paper is hammered and knocked soft, pressed to a thickness of only 1 cm, and then nailed with four nails, cut into pieces, and finally sewn on the fabric to make armor!

"I really can't imagine that even paper can be made into armor that is invulnerable to swords, why didn't those soldiers before think of it?" Xiao Wuhua sighed as he looked at the dozens of small squares that were just cut out of a few broken books, and finally strung together.

"yes, just cut a few books and make it, I can even afford to hold the weight!" Xu Miao said with the slender little hand carrying the paper armor.

"Shiro is smart, he always has different ideas, if it weren't for seeing with his own eyes that this paper armor can block sharp arrows, in addition to writing and keeping accounts, all I can think of is to use it as a pillow for the neck, haha!" Zu Yuan continued to tout Xiao Yao in front of the beauties.

"This piece is not yet paper armor, but it just lets you know that thick paper is not bad for defense." Xiao Yao is even more confident in the paper armor, such a temporary paper armor can actually block the shooting of the bow and arrow at a distance of 10 meters!

"I think this defensive ability can be compared to iron armor! Now the weapons and equipment of the Chen army are provided by the iron mill under the Yinhai Commercial Bank, if we launch this paper armor, although there are still many shortcomings, but just by the cost, they can also be caught off guard, haha! Zu Yuan also used his shrewd business acumen.

"This depends on your ancestral boss's means, I don't care, anyway, you have to do a good job of the paper armor of the Fire Dragon Camp for me, and when the time comes, it will not only be waterproof, but also lighter and more fitting!" Xiao Yao also smiled.

Zu Yuan nodded and laughed and continued: "Shiro, two young ladies, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, I believe that the three of you will not miss the grand Lantern Festival, when our general business bank Shangge Restaurant will hold a fireworks display, in addition to all kinds of lanterns, there are firecrackers, guess the lantern riddles, it will definitely be lively, you must come!" ”

"Really? Then you must leave the best location to us! Miaomiao, when the time comes, we must have a good time, little pervert, you will honestly follow us and wait for us to send! Xiao Wuhua was so excited that she jumped up.

"Yes, yes, when the time comes, I will guess all the lantern riddles and win back Boss Zu's lanterns! When the time comes, Shiro, you have to protect us! Xu Miao, who has always been gentle and ladylike, also seemed very excited.

The thought of going shopping with beautiful women, and it was still two, Xiao Yao's head suddenly became big!

Back home, Xiao Wuhua told Xiao Moke about Xiao Yao's production of paper armor, and it really attracted his interest, as a general, the most concerned thing is weapons and equipment, and now I heard that Xiao Yao actually made armor out of paper, and the defense is not bad, so I immediately asked Xiao Yao to introduce it in detail.

Xiao Yao also briefly introduced: "In fact, paper armor is not a new thing, someone in the Qi Kingdom of the previous dynasty has made it, that is, it is made of paper instead of iron, but the advantage of paper is that it is cheap and easy to make, and as long as the process is improved, the waterproofness and flexibility of the paper block are improved, then the paper armor will be a good choice for the soldiers!" ”

Xiao Moke stroked his beard and smiled happily: "Not bad! If this kind of paper armor is really like what you said, then Shiro you have made a great contribution! Although you are not yet a regular soldier, haha, General Wu Mingche mentioned you to me a few days ago, saying that I will take you into the camp as soon as possible, and then take a good look at you, a wizard who is even interested in the emperor! ”

Taking advantage of Xiao Moke's happiness, Xiao Wuhua said coquettishly: "Daddy, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, I want to go to the Lantern Festival with Miaomiao to have a good time, I want to come back later, just have Shiro and his two guards to accompany me, okay!" ”

"I know that you girl's careful thinking, you can, but you have to pay attention to safety, and you can't make trouble! Shiro, you have to watch them well! After Xiao Moke finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yao and suddenly remembered that he was the most troublemaker, and hurriedly changed his words: "Let Shilian follow you, I can rest assured that he is here!" ”

Xiao Shilian, who was suddenly named, looked bitter and hurriedly said, "Father, I 。。。。。。 me too ”

Xiao Shike was glared at by Xiao Moke before he finished speaking, and immediately swallowed his words back, and hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Yes!" Father, I will keep a good watch on them and will not let them get into trouble! ”。

Lantern Festival, after dinner, the moon only came out of the east half of its head, and Xiao Yao, who was carefully dressed, took two tall bodyguards, the big tiger and the two tigers, and the three of them squatted stupidly at the door of the Xu Mansion.

Xiao Wuhua has already gone in to find Xu Miao, the last time Biwen recruited relatives, Xiao Yao had already offended the Xu Mansion and was blacklisted by the Xu Mansion, and he himself felt embarrassed to go in, so he could only wait at the gate of the Xu Mansion, as for Xiao Shilian, he had already gone to Suzaku Street in advance, saying that he would wait for them there.

Waiting for a woman is a very painful thing, after waiting for almost an hour, I finally saw Xiao Wuhua and Xu Miao coming out of the Xu Mansion wearing the same style and different colors, Xu Miao was a little embarrassed and said, "Shiro has been waiting for a long time?" I was stopped by my grandfather just now, and I told him. ”

"Hmph, he deserves it, whoever told him to offend Grandpa Xu, if he dares to go in, he will definitely be kicked out by Grandpa Xu!" Xiao Wuhua said sarcastically.

Looking at the two well-dressed beauties dressed in sister clothes, one gentle and the other lively, Xiao Yao was speechless, and said with a flattering smile: "Not long after, the so-called willow tops on the moon, people are about after dusk, and now the moon has not come out, and the time is still early." ”

"The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk? Good image, so apt! It's instantly memorable! Shiro is really good at writing, and the export is in pairs! Xu Miao looked at Xiao Yao with adoring eyes.

"Stinky pervert, I'm picking up girls again, let's go, the big brother is already waiting for us, it's late, it's hard to find the big brother if there are too many people!" Xiao Wuhua, who was a little jealous, kicked Xiao Yao and urged everyone to rush to Vermilion Bird Street to meet Xiao Shilian.
