Chapter 445: Vine Armor
"Witch, isn't there any news from Gu Qian?"
If this matter is not implemented, he will always be uneasy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info As for the totem thing, it has already been launched.
The sacrifice totem has to be separated, divided into sacrifice and totem, although it has not yet been determined what the totem is, but you can prepare the sacrifice first, it is also the most troublesome, I am afraid that you need to complete a large transaction.
It's just that in the current situation, if you continue to fight with Jianmu, it will be difficult to complete the transaction.
Jiuli Sanmiao shouldn't be a big problem on the side, and the price of the Niutou tribe is appropriate, so it should be okay.
But strategically, it's more advantageous to win over Jianmu, so I'm urging the shrine maiden to speed up.
"I sent someone, and I haven't answered yet." The witch didn't deliberately delay, just because she really didn't have a relationship with Gu Qian.
Su Yang sighed, he counted the days, the harvest was getting closer and closer, and he was very uneasy in his heart, so prepare for the worst.
The bronze was almost exhausted, and as the number of warriors increased, the only way to create a spearhead was the most suitable, and by now, thousands of people had bronze weapons.
However, weapons alone were not enough, he immediately mobilized people to pick rattan, which is all over the mountains, and it is not a problem for a rattan to bear hundreds of catties.
This large-scale harvest is not to be used as a rope, but to make more rattan armor, although it is a bit rushed, but it can actually be completed.
There are a lot of rattan in the mountains, after previous attempts, I finally chose a large green vine with the strongest toughness, and the rattan skin is green with red, which is not the point, anyway, it is necessary to peel the skin.
It takes an old man a day to easily peel off a large bundle of rattan, cut the knot and pull it down.
The peeled rattan should be soaked in water, otherwise it will affect the quality after drying directly, which is the same as soaking the bamboo knife, and the bamboo can also be made into a tooth clip, which can easily clamp the slippery loach eel and other things, but the bamboo clip will soon be scrapped if it is not soaked in water.
After soaking, the rattan is dried, and then it can be used to weave rattan nails, which is the easiest method.
If you want to make the rattan tough and slippery, you need to soak it in oil, apply it with oil, and soak it repeatedly to dry, which will be more troublesome and the production cycle is also very long.
On the way to the Bullhead Tribe, he found a plane tree, which is not only for ornamentation, but also legendary, and the legend is that the phoenix is full of sycamores. But the focus is on the tung seeds, with which you can squeeze out the tung oil.
In modern times, tung oil can even replace gasoline and make the car run and raw. It has a wide range of uses, and in the early days, when electricity was not available, tung oil lamps were a must-have for every household.
So he can get tung oil now, but it's too late in time, and the amount of tung oil can't keep up.
Worried that he would forget this, he immediately recruited Bai Yun, Marceau and others who were in charge of the explanation to help write it down, collect tung seeds in autumn, cultivate plane trees, and make tung oil rattan armor in the future.
Nowadays, it is necessary to fight immediately, so after collecting rattan, immediately peel and soak in water, which should have been soaked for ten days and half a month, but it is too late, there are three days, and then take it out and dry it.
Then there is weaving, which requires the use of keel, that is, the skeleton of rattan knots, which can be made of bamboo, or branches with strong plasticity, stems of other plants, and thicker rattans.
The weaving of rattan armor is very fast, as a standard product, as long as it can defend the chest and back, you don't have to worry about the sides, the shoulders and arms are also abandoned, and the lower body defense is not considered for the time being.
In addition, the opponent uses stone tools, so there is no need to consider shooting with a bow and arrow, and even the round heart on the chest is omitted, as for the shield, it is also omitted.
Because the warriors continued to use spears, which were more lethal when held with both hands, and were also used on weekdays, they rashly added shields and replaced them with one-handed spears, but they had to train more, and it was too late.
Everything is based on speed, the construction of the wall has long been stopped, the houses have also been suspended, the construction of weapons has stopped, except for two or three hundred people left to lay the place, one or two hundred people to burn the kiln, the rest of the people are all idle, and there is a lot of time every day.
Even if you have to solve the problem of eating, manufacturing harvesting tools, breeding and planting, tribal protection, etc., you can also draw a lot of labor.
Chiefly, armor-making was carried out in the tribes, and rattan gathering was fast.
In this case, a large number of clansmen joined in the weaving, which was very simple, and as long as they were not stupid and stupid, they could learn it.
It doesn't matter if it's rough, just block the stone tools, but the corners of the rattan armor are more difficult to deal with, and he distributes personnel, and the smart ones are responsible for finishing and perfecting.
It's like stir-frying, just tidy up, and someone will be in charge of the plate at the end.
He was going to make a demonstration, he took two thick rattan sticks in his hand, and another rattan twenty or thirty meters long, fixed the starting point first, followed by the two thick bars, and then passed under the other two thick bars, and just like that, once above, once underneath.
After the first layer is weaved, when it is poured back, it is the same up and down, but the second layer is the opposite of the first, the next layer is on the front, and the previous layer is on the back, so that the cross is stable.
Just keep weaving upwards, and when the area is about the same, leave it to the clever one to finish, and the person will tighten the woven rattan and make it denser, and at the same time weave the shoulders and leave the neck open.
After getting it done, give it back to the stupid one, and then weave it from the back down until it is about the same size as the front of the rattan armor, and then give it to the smarter one to finish.
It's done, a rattan armor is done, and the rough standard rattan armor is that simple.
For the shamans of the tribe, that is, the generals of the warriors, the Taixu generation rattan armor will be used, plus the protection of the side shoulders and arms, and the rattan helmet, which is woven into a rounded and pointed shape, which can cover the side face and the back of the neck.
In the early modern period, the safety risk was concentrated in the protective risk used for absenteeism, and most of the use of rattan armor hats could effectively carry falling rocks, of course, boulders could not.
And for primitive stone tool warfare, a rattan armor helmet is very useful, and it may be able to save lives, but of course it will be relatively troublesome to make.
This kind of rattan armor that has not been soaked in tung oil, although the toughness will be much worse and the durability is far inferior, but the advantage is that it is not so easy to be afraid of fire, and it will not catch a little.
For a time, in the Taixu tribe, all kinds of weaving were in full swing, and everyone turned into weaving workers to create rattan armor for themselves.
Not only did he have to make the soldiers wear rattan armor, but also ordinary people, even children, and at the last moment, the whole people would join the war, and fight until one soldier and one soldier would live and die with the tribe.
In addition to the rattan armor, he began to cultivate everyone's sense of combat, such as when the horn sounded, no matter what he was doing, even if he was pulling Xiang, even if he was creating people, he had to run to the combat post within the specified time.
And everyone had to find their own position, and on this day he blew the horn eighteen times in the tribe, stunned dozens of people, and suffered more heat stroke, more than half of them were punished, and some almost ran to their deaths.
But the effect is very obvious, if there is an enemy attack here now, Taixu is definitely impregnable. (To be continued.) )
