Zu Bian threw the bird in his hand into the hands of the handyman who was standing on the side, and hurriedly followed behind Wang Huan, trotting towards the direction of the haystack.

When he got closer, Zu Bian took a look, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, grinning, in the middle of the white-robed haystack, a black bullet hole bloomed, and it turned out that the shot just now was clearly hit.

Winning or losing a bet is a small matter, but losing face is a big matter.

Wang Huan heard him laugh, looked up, and said, "What are you laughing at?" You've already lost, so hurry up and go up the mountain to hug the rabbit while the sun is still early. ”

As he spoke, Wang Huan took off the white robe covering the haystack, revealing a tightly bound rattan armor, which was as good as ever with the fragrance of tung oil.

Zu Bian was stunned, approached in disbelief, looked up and down carefully, and found a small damage on the armor, there were two rattan with some slight broken marks, but they were not conspicuous, and they couldn't be seen at all if they didn't look carefully.

Wang Huan looked at him with wide eyes, smiled and raised the white robe in his hand, groped out a small thing from it, and said, "Are you looking for lead bullet?" Here it is. ”

He spread out his hand, and in the palm of his hand, a round buckshot lay there quietly.

Zu Bian and Ma Xintian looked at Wang Huan's palm incredulously, and were very surprised, the lead bullet shot by the bird did not shoot through the white robe in Wang Huan's hand, but only left a negligible trace on the rattan armor behind the white robe, and the lead bullet was still embedded in the white robe.

"My lord, what is this burqa made of? It can block lead bullets, almost comparable to iron armor. Zubian exclaimed.

Wang Huan threw away the lead bullet in his hand, turned up the white burqa for the two to see, and said with a strong smile: "This burqa is different, you see, the burqa is divided into two layers, both of which are made of fire raccoon cloth, but in the middle of the two layers of cloth, compacted cotton wool is added, and the effect of cotton wool after compaction, you know the ancestral side." ”

Zu Bian nodded, somewhat understanding: "My lord, isn't this a cotton armor?" ”

"Yes, it's about the same as a cotton armor." Wang Huan said: "The whole robe, a total of seven catties of cotton, compacted and filled in the back of the chest, and between the first layer of fire cloth and cotton wool, there is also a layer of armor, although it is very thin, it can play a big role." ”

Zu Bian and Ma Xintian turned over the fabric interlayer with their hands, and sure enough, as Wang Huan said, this burqa has four layers, the first and fourth layers are thick fire cloth, the second layer is a very thin iron leaf armor, and the third layer is compacted cotton wool.

Touching the fabric, Zu Bian was a little puzzled, and raised his head and asked: "My lord, your approach is different from cotton armor, cotton armor is just an ordinary compacted cotton jacket, and the iron leaf is also inlaid in the inner layer." ”

Wang Huan nodded: "Yes, I made improvements." ”

Zu Bian had already found the bullet holes shot by the lead bullet on the white robe, the bullet hole was not large, but it penetrated the cloth, cotton wool, and iron leaves, revealing a small hole in the white robe, and this small hole in the inner layer was much smaller than the bullet hole in the outer layer.

Seeing this, Zu Bian already understood a little, and said happily: "My lord, so slightly changed, but the effect is very different, if you change to the cotton armor in the Ming army, the last general just shot has definitely been shot through, but when you change to this set of white robes, it is only penetrable, and the castration of the lead bullet has been exhausted, so it only leaves a mark on the innermost rattan armor." ”

Ma Xintian understood earlier than Zu Bian, and when he saw that the rattan armor was intact, he already knew that Wang Huan's new white robe was definitely not ordinary, and what he didn't understand was why Wang Huan just changed the order of the nail leaf cotton wool in the cotton armor, which could have a completely different effect.

The principle of this Kevlar body armor, Wang Huan naturally won't say it, and the two of them don't understand it.

The thick fire raccoon cloth in the first layer, that is, fireproof can play a certain blocking role, the second layer of thin iron sheet, again blocked, and the third layer of cotton wool, will greatly slow down the lead bullet, the fourth layer of fire cloth slowed down again, so that the effect of the four layers of superimposed, fifty steps away from the lead bullet has become a strong crossbow end, and then meet the solid rattan armor, of course, can not penetrate the armor.

This is Wang Huan pondered for several nights, ripped apart a set of cotton armor and studied it countless times, before referring to the principle of modern Kevlar materials, the original body armor will be put on the existing materials and local methods.

The improved cotton armor is in the front, the rattan armor is in the back, such a design, and after the shooting experiment of the editor-in-chief, Wang Huan is sure that the arrow firearm will not be worn at a distance of forty steps, and within forty steps, the throwing of the exterminating bullet can be completely covered.

This is a completely different way of fighting in this era, except for Wang Huan, even the most outstanding generals in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties will not understand, let alone crack.

The process of making this kind of fire cloth cotton armor is readily available, except for the rattan armor that takes time to make, other materials are ready-made, asbestos mines have begun mass production, a large number of asbestos fibers are slowly and continuously supplied to the textile workshops in Wanshou City, cotton is widely planted as a cash crop in the stone pillar, as a textile material, which farmer has not planted a little outside the house? A little troublesome is the iron armor blade, the stone pillar blacksmith is pitiful, and now there are less than ten people in the blacksmith workshop in Wanshou Valley, most of them are apprentices, but it doesn't matter, Wang Huan has thought about it, there are no iron armor blades, and the bamboo pieces can also fill the scene.

In a word, it is easy to do things with money, and Wang Huan at the moment, the most important thing is silver, this kind of hard currency, in the society of the late Ming Dynasty is very popular, as the saying goes, gold is prosperous in troubled times, and precious metals can always find people who like it in troubled times.

Therefore, Zu Bian was pleasantly surprised to tell the secret of the white robe body armor, Wang Huan nodded without hesitation: "That's right, the Qing soldiers taboo my big firearms, but they can win frequently in repeated battles, aside from tactics and army capabilities, the thick cotton armor worn by the Tartars is definitely an important reason." ”

Zu Bian suddenly slapped his head and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes, my lord doesn't say that I really haven't figured it out, in the past, I fought with the Tartars, all in the ice and snow of Liaodong, the Tartars are wearing cotton armor, sometimes they are wearing chain mail inside and out, our bird firearms hit them, the distance is far and there is no effect at all, the distance is close to the Tartar bow and arrow and fierce, so we are at a loss, it turns out that this cotton armor also has the effect of avoiding bullets!" ”

Ma Xintian also couldn't put it down, touching the thick cloth robe, his face was calm, but his voice was a little high: "The cotton armor of the adults is much thicker than the cotton armor of the Ming official army, but the weight has not increased much, plus the rattan armor worn inside, the whole set of armor is not as good as half the weight of a set of mountain armor, but the protective effect is not inferior, although it is slightly bloated, but it does not affect the action at all, as long as the soldiers with a little training adapt to it, they will definitely be able to add wings to the tiger." ”

His voice was full of irrepressible ecstasy, Wang Huan's Tufa armor perfectly solved the dilemma of the white pole soldiers having no armor to wear, and compared with the soldiers in full armor who fought naked, it was like the effect of generation difference in the era of cold weapons, so I don't know how many lives of the soldiers of Wanshou Valley could be saved.

Wang Huan was a little dissatisfied, looked at the cloth cotton armor held by Zubian with critical eyes, and said with some regret: "It's a pity, if there is a good blacksmith, I can also add a layer of iron blades to the cotton armor, otherwise Zubian's shot will not even be able to penetrate the cloth armor." ”

When Zu Bian and Ma Xintian heard this, their eyes lit up, and at a distance of fifty paces, they could prevent birds from flying just by relying on cloth armor? The bow and arrow and the like are even more scum, and the soldiers in this suit of armor are not the iron crutches on the rampage?

The two swallowed their saliva and said in unison: "Okay, my lord, I'll wait for the good news of my lord!" ”

Saying this, Zu Bian remembered something again, sneered and moved his steps out, blushing and muttering: "What, my lord, do you like to eat rabbits or wild boars?" I'll go up the hill and fight. ”
