Chapter Eighty-Nine: Let's Retain, a Minute of Spring (8)
The armor workshop is located in the south of the city, which used to be the cotton weaving concentration area of the exquisite ancient city, and there are still many cloth mills facing the street in the market in the south of the city, because the south of the city is far away from the fierce battle zone of the two armies at the north gate, the war trauma is much smaller, and the buildings in the market are much more intact. At the same time, there are more than 30 exquisite girls who have learned the art of dyeing and finishing cloth, which are the exquisite aborigines who were once protected by Ayiguli in the secret warehouse and survived, and now they can guide the later people to dye and complete cloth with exquisite ancient methods.
Therefore, the armor workshop was the first to start.
The three of them walked into the armor making workshop all the way, only to see rows of large dyeing vats neatly arranged, bursts of fragrance coming to their faces, and the flowers hit people.
At this time, Brigitte was working in an intense and orderly manner with more than 500 men, women and children, and when she saw Fanxiang and others coming, she hurriedly came to greet her. As he walked, he said to the women working next to him: "Don't you want to see our General Fanxiang up close? Come on, hehe, our General Fanxiang has come to visit you." ”
Everyone stopped what they were doing and came over together. Advocating the complex of heroes, all nations are the same.
"Hello, General Van Da!"
"General Fan is so young, do you have a wife, or we can help you introduce it, haha. ”
"General Fan is so good-looking, young and talented, well, it would be nice if I had a daughter in my family, hehe. ”
These women who came around, you said a word to me, and they said with a smile, and they were not afraid when they saw Fanxiang. Some young women only stood beside them, peeking at the extraordinary young man in front of them from time to time, all admiring them in their hearts.
Fan Xiang was a young man after all, surrounded by everyone in the center, talking and laughing, and he was very nervous for a while.
When Xiong Heifeng saw it, he hurriedly said to everyone, "Aunts, sisters, aunts, and aunts, let's go to work first, take out your unique skills, and let our general take a look." He glanced back at Brigitte and said angrily: "You, you, what do I say about you." ”
Brigitte smiled slightly, ignored him, and said to Fan Xiang: "General, the sixty sets of Rui Shi armor you ordered have been made, and the rest of the ordinary cotton armor has also been made more than two thousand sets. In addition, I also asked the best master of the original essence ancient city to make two sets for you. Now take it and let the general put it on and see, is it appropriate?" the two women hurriedly went to the storehouse to fetch it.
Brigitte and several women accompanied Fanxiang to the fitting room to try on this set of Sharp Warrior armor.
Fan Xiang first put on a light caftan sewn from three layers of white silk on her undershirt, and then put on this black armed cotton armor, at first glance, it is not much different from the ordinary top and bottom, but it is made of 5 layers of cotton cloth stacked and sewn, filled with wool, linen and the like, and the cloth armor is also nailed to the cloth with a thin black square iron armor. On the collar, armpits, elbow sockets and other movable parts, sew chain mail. At the same time, it has some strange-looking straps on it.
Brigitte helped Fanxiang straighten out these straps first, and fixed the shoulder armor, upper arm armor, and lower arm armor with the clothes with the three sets of straps on the arms, and the inner straps of the cuirass were fixed at the waist, and the waist straps also fixed the thigh armor at the waist, and the weight of the thigh armor was borne by the waist. In addition, the external shoulder armor and arm armor are combined with belts and buckles to evenly distribute the burden of the entire armor throughout the body.
Then put on a spherical knee-pad iron armor, put on a half-iron riding boots that cover the toes, and leggings, the riding boots are equipped with daggers, and wear a pair of flared iron gloves that allow the wrist and fingers to move flexibly, and the iron gloves have two straps on the palms of the iron gloves, which can be used to charge when you need to charge
The hilt of the knife or the barrel of the iron spear was tightly tied to the palm of the hand, so that the warrior could only slash when charging, saving a lot of effort for the charging warrior.
After putting on the armor, he put on a black helmet with a red feather and a hideous iron mask.
Finally, put on a black cape.
Fan Xiang put on the entire set of Ruishi armor neatly, turned around, and moved his arms, feeling that wearing this full set of armor was not bloated, but also quite light, as if he was wearing everyday clothes. This kind of armor is very suitable for soldiers to make flexible movements such as climbing ladders, somersaults, handstands, fast running, vaulting, etc., as if they were just wearing a slightly heavier garment, rather than wearing a heavy burden that falls on their limbs.
Fan Xiang put on his armor, stuck a knife in his waist, walked out of the changing room, and stood in front of everyone, looking even more tall and mighty, and his gods were majestic.
Everyone was stunned and couldn't help but praise in unison.
Fan Xiang looked at the cotton armor on his body and asked, "Can this armor made of cotton cloth withstand the shooting of knives and arrows?"
"Of course, our Sharps are invulnerable. Brigitte said very confidently, drew the short sword at her waist, and said to Fanxiang, "General Fanxiang, do you believe me?"
"What are you doing, this ruined girl, don't be stupid!" Hei Feng was startled, and wanted to step forward to stop it, so he hurriedly said.
"You're a loser. Brigitte crossed the black wind, and as she spoke, suddenly a sword stabbed at Fanxiang's right shoulder, only to hear a soft ding, and the sword could not pierce half of the armor.
"Oops!"
"Good!"
Everyone was stunned and applauded.
"This cotton armor is really good, and with these armors, our warriors will be able to minimize casualties,...... Haha, just made everyone work hard. Fan Xiang looked at the place where the sword was pierced, but there was no damage in the slightest, and couldn't help but admire, replaced the armor, and slowly walked towards the work area where the armor was being made, and everyone followed.
I saw that the temporary storage area of the workshop was already full of a lot of dyed finished cotton cloth.
They are divided into different production processes, where a group of people first stacks multiple layers of fabric, or fills the two layers of fabric with pressed wool and linen, and then sews them together by hand to make pieces of cloth. Then, the sewing craftsman cuts the pieces of cloth according to the body parts, and then flows to the next process, where they are assembled and sewn together to make a set of clothes. Then, the four corners of the finished nail piece are studed and reinforced to the cotton armor, and finally stuffed into a pre-sewn cloth pocket. These cotton cloths have been specially treated, and they usually look like ordinary cotton clothes, but they can often play a very tough impact resistance, and can also resist fire, especially after encountering water, the cotton armor will be stronger and denser, not to mention arrows, even the fire gun can not penetrate.
It is simple to make, low cost, and can adapt to the environment very well, and the light weight can also reduce the burden on soldiers, which is simply a "single soldier defense artifact". Of course, cotton armor is not without shortcomings, although it is lighter than iron armor and will not rust, but in the end it is made of cotton, the durability is not as good as iron armor, and it is easy to be damaged. However, cotton armor is not difficult to make, and the production cost is lower, so even if it wears out quickly, it is not a big problem.
Fan Xiang looked at this tense and orderly work scene, the cotton scraps all over the ground, thought about it, and suddenly asked, "Then how much cotton cloth does this need?
Brigitte smiled mysteriously, pulled over a ten-year-old Tajik girl next to her, and said to Fan Xiang: "General Fan Xiang, you can ask our best armor master here." ”
Fanxiang looked fixedly, the girl
The facial features are very three-dimensional and beautiful, with fair skin, a small flower hat on her head, two long braids, a long body, slender and graceful, it is the original princess Ayiguli.
I saw her take a step forward, standing in front of Fan Xiang, very shy, lowered her head, and said softly: "General, we still have a lot of cotton cloth in stock, don't worry." "Speaking Oriental Chinese with an Old Persian accent, his voice is soft and his tone is tactful, which is very good.
A younger Hui girl next to her, Aisha, took a step forward, grinned, looked at Fanxiang, and chirped: "General, you can rest assured, hehe." ”
"A lot of cotton cloth, wasn't it snatched away by the invading Beigong devil soldiers in the last war?"
Ayiguli raised her head, looked at Fan Xiang, smiled slightly, and said, "The general doesn't know, we still have a big storage depot underground. ”
"Really, we've been here for a few months, why haven't we seen the storehouse? Chun Yuyi asked in surprise.
Ayiguli smiled slightly and said to Brigitte, "Sister Bi, I'll take the generals and them to the cellar to have a look, okay?"
"Go ahead. ”
Ayiguli and Aisha led the three of them out of the armor workshop, along the street, turned two streets, and came to a large mansion. The mansion had been destroyed by fire, and was full of ruins.
The five entered the mansion and entered through a cleared side door, a corridor with a dilapidated pool next to it, and rotting debris floating in the black water. Continuing to the backyard, we came to a horse pen full of weeds. Rounded the stables and entered a large stable against the back wall. Ayiguli and Aisha cleared the dead grass from one of the ground, removed two rectangular wooden covers three feet square, looked inside, lit a torch, and led the three of them down a stone staircase.
Everyone walked down the stone steps for half a column of incense before they reached the end, and when they thought about it, they were at least ten zhang above the vertical height of the ground.
At the end of the stone staircase is a square flat land, lined with smooth stone walls, and at the end of which a huge stone door is erected.
Aisha groped around the stone wall on the left for a while, found a moving stone, pressed one end of the stone into it, and saw the stone door at the end of the flat ground, "squeak", and then it opened automatically.
Aiguli and Aisha led the three of them inside, and then, Aisha fumbled around the stone wall behind the door for a while, pulled a moving stone out of the stone wall, and the door closed automatically. When the door was closed, it was so compact that there were almost no gaps, and the flow of air in the room seemed to have stagnated, and there was a sour smell flowing in the air.
Walking in the cellar, the air is cold, like walking into an ice cave. The cellar was built in the permafrost under the south gate near the snow-capped mountains, which was really ingenious, so that the items could not only be less susceptible to insects, but also keep the materials fresh to the greatest extent, and also exist secretly in the world.
As far as the eye could see, there was a basement that was nearly two feet high and covered a very spacious area, which was nearly 100 acres of land, which was divided into different categories, and was full of production and living materials such as barley, corn, cotton, wheat, barley wine, salt, dyeing and finishing materials.
Fan Xiang and the other three were very surprised to see that this underground thing was so abundant.
Chun Yuyi took the torch and walked all the way along the wall, looking at it as he walked, looking very surprised.
