Ancient Chinese armor had to evolve, and before the Han Dynasty, scale armor was still used. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info to the Tang Dynasty, is the use of the armor, and it continues until it seems to be the Qing Dynasty. However, since the Ming Dynasty, this armor has changed a little, and the iron armor is wrapped in cotton cloth. This is to defend against bullets, and traditional iron armor is not very good at defending against bullets.

The armor is very similar to the scale armor. The difference is that the scales are tied piece by piece with a rope or belt. The armor, on the other hand, is to make the armor pieces themselves bite each other.

If you have seen the armor of the Han Dynasty, you will find that before the Han Dynasty, including the Han Dynasty. The armor is made up of small metal blocks in a square square. The small pieces of metal are tied with ropes to connect them to each other.

In the Tang Dynasty, the famous one was Shanwenjia. The representative of the armor, the mountain armor, looks like a symbol of Mitsubishi's iron plate, piece by piece of each other, when the armor is formed, it looks like a mountain character.

As we all know, the Japanese have to innovate and constantly learn from China, to be precise, the Tang Dynasty. A lot of technology was imported, and even someone brought it with them without them having to learn it. For example, Jianzhen, this monk has brought not only Buddhism to Japan, but also many craftsmen, and the technology of the Tang Dynasty has been spread to Japan in this way.

The Japanese got the armor, which was also the armor at first, and was obviously heavily influenced by the Tang people. But in the Momoyama period, the style changed. At that time, the armor became a whole piece on the chest.

The Momoyama period was the famous Warring States period, and Oda Nobunaga, even if he was not familiar with Japanese history, probably knew him. At that time, the Japanese had commercial dealings with the Portuguese and the Dutch. It was probably because of their influence that the style changed.

When Li Chen came to the Ordnance Supervisor again, he was very curious about the performance of these two types of armor. This is one of the purposes, and the second purpose is to create a special set of armor.

For Li Chen's first purpose, several craftsmen easily satisfied his curiosity. Also field operations to show him. Soon, the site was set up, as the Ordnance Superintendent occasionally tested it on its own, and everything was ready-made. It's ready in one go.

'See, saint, this is an impact. The ordnance supervisor was beside Li Chen and introduced him. The craftsmen erected a shelf, which was very high. Then a large piece of wood, with a large piece of iron in front of it, is tied to a shelf with a rope and the large wood is suspended in the air.

After putting a bright light armor on a dummy, put the dummy not far in front of the shelf. Then someone in the rear pulled the big log hanging in the air, pulled it back, and then let it go, and the big wood was in swing and hit the armor.

After that, I experimented again, and took a set of Mingguang armor, but this time I took off the Mingguang armor and the heart guard on my chest, and stood on another dummy, and Damu pulled it to the same angle and let it go.

Then the craftsman took off all the armor and carried it to Li Chen, giving Li Chen a look. It can be found that they are also Mingguang armor, but those with heart goggles are slightly injured compared to those without heart goggles.

Then, it also had to be replaced with a bow and crossbow to test, and the Datang crossbow arrow was used to test it again, this time to test the effect of the defensive bow. The test results are the opposite of just now.

This time, the crossbow arrows were aimed at the dummy with only the heart goggles, and the bright light armor with the heart goggles removed. It was obvious that at the same distance, the Mingguang armor was penetrated, and the Shanwen armor blocked the piercing of the bow and arrow. Next, a chopping test was carried out. This time, the bright light armor with the heart shield did not win completely.

'How's that for a weapon like Mao?' At this point, the test was completed. But Li Chen suddenly thought that he didn't know how effective this kind of Mingguang armor would be on defending Mao weapons. Although the weapons of the long grass type are the same as the bow arrows, they are all puncture wounds, but the weapons of the grass type can continuously apply kinetic energy.

The power of the bow is amazing, but once it is fired, the kinetic energy is fixed, and there is no way to increase the kinetic energy of the arrow when it is shot at a person. Mao weapons, on the other hand, can be used to inflict damage continuously.

It's just that the routine test of the tip of the weapon did not prepare Chang Mao, which was not the standard weapon of the Tang army. However, it is not without workarounds. Li Chen personally went down to the test, holding the long sword with his human hand,

Sure enough, if the power is strong enough, it can still be penetrated, whether it is a heart shield or a mountain armor, it can't be stopped. It only works best when the two are together.

After the test, Li Chen had some clarity about the results, this armor was better for piercing defense. For slashing and slashing, in the face of blunt objects and knives, the effect is not very good.

Heart armor, a type of iron armor, is just the opposite, and it is not very good for piercing defense, but it is very effective in the face of blunt weapons and knife damage.

Mingguang armor can be regarded as both. The mountain armor is behind, if the transparent light armor is shot by an arrow, then the mountain armor can resist. In the face of knives and blunt weapons, the effect of heart guards is relatively good, which can play a good defensive role.

Yes! In this way, Datang's Mingguang armor is not very similar to the Western model, where chain mail is combined with plate armor?

Li Chen has not studied the evolution of Western armor, but he just knows it in general. However, he remembered that there was a time when Western armor was plate mail on the outside and chain mail on the inside. He was impressed by the knights who had taken off their armor and a suit of chain mail underneath. It wasn't until later, probably because of the progress of armor technology, that slowly no one wore it like this.

The defense of the armor and the full plate armor, which one is better? Li Chen does not have a foreign mentality, and he will not be perverted to think that foreign moons are rounder than China. There is no such mentality that China is the strongest in everything and superior to the world.

He just had to compare. Chinese, in fact, throughout history, most of them are relatively peaceful. In other words, most of the foreign development is limited to the beginning of the country.

Relatively speaking, Europeans are less peaceful. Even if there is no internal trouble, there will be no end to the fight between countries, whether it is a big country against a small country, a big country against a big country, or a small country against a small country. Overall, they seem to have fought more wars than China.

Especially in the Middle Ages, it was a time of frequent wars. And are Westerners really stupid? Or do you not understand the art of war?

They eliminated the combination of chain mail and plate armor, and finally evolved into pure plate armor. The defense of this plate armor is better than that of the armor?

Not only the Europeans have proved that the Japanese also fought frequently during the Warring States period. They also eliminated the armor and used the plate armor form. Looks like we'll have to experiment with it. It's not just about using that heart guard, it's better to use plate armor, or the kind of plate armor that you get from the West.

Li Chen said his request, and several craftsmen looked at each other, "What, can you do it?" After Li Chen finished speaking, the ordnance supervisor asked a little worriedly.

'Sage, could you elaborate a little more?' A craftsman, not young, seems to be in the crowd, and his prestige is more sufficient, he said stubbornly.

'Bring the paper. Li Chen decided to draw it to them, and the paper was quickly brought in, and Li Chen took the charcoal from the attendant and began to draw it on the paper.

'Dare to ask the saint, what is this?' What's it? I haven't finished painting yet, Li Chen is strange, and then I saw the old craftsman, his eyes were blazing, staring at the things in his hand, he came to his senses, it turned out that he was asking charcoal.

It's called charcoal. The old man took it with excitement on his face, took a piece of paper casually, and began to draw, while drawing, he admired, "This is so convenient, with this charcoal, you can draw if you want to paint in the future, no need to grind ink, and you don't have to dip ink all the time." When he was excited, the old man exerted a lot of force, the pen broth was broken, and the old man was dumbfounded, too fragile.

It's troublesome, how to continue to use the pen when it's broken. Just thinking about this question, the old man suddenly sweated profusely, this is a royal gift, and even, the saint just borrowed it from him, this pen is broken, the old man is sweating profusely, and he is at a loss.

Li Chen was painting, suddenly felt the air stagnate, raised his head strangely, and saw that the old man was sweating profusely and anxious, and then everyone stared at him, especially a few guards, all eager to try, just waiting for Li Chen's order to arrest this old man who had boldly damaged the imperial weapon.

'What to do, the pen is broken, just take a knife and sharpen it.' Cut off the wood in front and the refill is revealed. Li Chen felt strange, he didn't know why these people were like this, seeing that the old man was at a loss, he reminded him very well, "This heart is ruthless and easy to break, just cut it again." By the way, if you like to use it, I'll let the temple save more purchases. After saying that, he continued to draw. Several craftsmen and weapons supervisors were all pardoned, and immediately someone took out a knife and sharpened the tip of the pen, and then the pen was passed around among several people, and the weapons supervisor of the coalition army couldn't help it, so he took it and tried it.

His feeling is that it is convenient to use this kind of pen, but it is insulting, and some scholars should not cut it and use it, but it is really convenient, and craftsmen will definitely like it.

'It's done. In the midst of everyone's appreciation and onlookers, Li Chen drew the drawings well. It's not difficult, he didn't draw in too much detail, just simply drew a sketch. Draw the plate armor he asked for.

Not much, just a cuirass, the knight's armor is very troublesome, he just drew the main iron plate on the chest and wrote the requirements. Anyway, it's just a test, and if the effect is really good, let them figure out the rest of the parts.

It's just that for this picture, the craftsman was dumbfounded again. Dumbfounded, it's not how difficult it is, or how strange it is, the craftsmen are so good at their craft, no matter how difficult it is, they can figure it out. It's just that I'm dumbfounded by a lot of other things.

'What is this?' The old man pointed to the drawings, why do you draw so many appearances? It's three views again, and Li Chen is surprised by this old-fashioned routine again, anyway, they haven't seen it, it's a new routine. It's just that this time he didn't wait for Li Chen to explain, and the old man understood it at a glance. What really surprised them was something else. (To be continued.) )
