Today's first chapter. Thank you for the reward of the book friends, thank you very much. I'm sorry, but I can't play the character in the middle...... Sorry, can't write your full name

Listening to the words of these people, Tian Fan smiled and said, "I'm fine, I yelled at Yide just now, now it's all right, well, let's start!" ”

After a pause, he stood up, pointed to the contents of the wooden box, and said, "Look at these armors and weapons first!" ”

Several people curiously gathered around the box and took out the various armor weapons inside. After taking a closer look, I found that these armor weapons are very different from the current equipment of the Xuzhou army.

Tian Fan pointed to the armor in Zhao Yun's hand and said, "This pair of armor in Zilong's hand, I named it Xuanjia, because its color is black. The front chest and back are made of iron plates made of fine iron, and the distance of fifty paces can resist five stone bows and arrows, and feather arrows of three stones and less, no matter how far or short, have no effect on this kind of armor. In order to make it easier for the soldiers to move and rotate their bodies when they were dressed, the chest and back were not made of a whole steel plate, but two steel plates were used respectively, with an overlapping position of half an inch in the middle, and a steel wire was tied in the middle to prevent the joint from being pierced by feather arrows.

In addition, in addition to the front and back, the shoulders and sides of the torso are also made of fine iron. However, in order to facilitate the movement of the soldiers and kill the enemy, the joint part used is a nail made of fine iron, well, that is, the armor in the shape of a fish scale armor. As a result, the defense of these junctions is slightly weaker than that of the front chest and back. However, thirty paces away, the arrows of the three stone strength could not be injured.

"Look, the arms of this armor and the hem of the armor are also made of fine iron armor leaves, and the defense is not bad. Also, the helmet that matches this armor is also made of a single piece of steel. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Inside this armor, in order to make the soldiers comfortable to wear, so that the armor is all fine iron and the skin of the clothes will not be worn out, our craftsman battalion has specially added a layer of cooked sheepskin to the inner lining part to ensure that it is soft and comfortable. ”

After speaking, he looked at the crowd and asked, "Is there anything you want to ask?" ”

Several people glanced at each other, and Zhang Fei asked, "Boguang, why do you use sheepskin?" Why not cowhide? ”

Tian Fan rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "We have been expanding our army in Xuzhou, and the leather armor that has been lost in several wars has to be replenished, so many cowhides from there?" Glancing at Zhang Fei, he continued: "Besides, the defensive power of cowhide is good, but the weight is not small, and the texture is hard, which is uncomfortable to wear. This armor has enough defensive power, where can it be lined with cowhide? How good is it that the sheepskin is light and soft and comfortable to wear? ”

Seeing that Zhang Fei no longer spoke, Tian Fan asked, "Several, what else do you want to say?" ”

Lu Bu asked, "Boguang, this pair of armor is not light, right?" ”

Zhao Yun weighed the armor in his hand and said, "Well, fifty catties is really not light!" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said with a smile: "Zilong is smart!" Yes, this armor weighs forty-eight pounds, which is indeed not light. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "So, who do you want to equip such a heavy armor for?" ”

Tian Fan said with a smile: "Don't worry, when I introduce these armor weapons, I will naturally talk about the functions of the future!" ”

After speaking, he pointed to a pair of armor in Pang De's hand and said, "The armor in Ling Ming's hand is different!" ”

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, pointed to the armor in Pang De's hand and said, "Boguang, aren't you talking nonsense?" This is too obvious, you don't need to say it, we are not blind, you should introduce its specific performance! ”

Tian Fan glared at him and said, "Shut up!" Otherwise, these armor weapons don't have your share, and I won't let you do the good things I said a few days ago! ”…,

Zhang Fei hurriedly shut up, glanced at Tian Fan carefully, smiled flatteringly, but didn't dare to speak again.

When everyone saw his embarrassed look, they couldn't help laughing. Zhang Feitian is not afraid of the ground, he is afraid of two and a half people, one is Liu Bei, the other is Tian Fan, and the other half is Guan Yu.

Tian Fan smiled, ignored him, and continued: "Everyone, please look! This armor I named it Cloth Bag Armor, because it was named after the twelve cloth bags on it. The outside, made of specially treated grass rattan and hemp rope, is exceptionally tough and very resistant to wear and tear. And the flaky armor on it is also made of fine iron. It's just that...... In order to reduce the weight, the armor guard is not comprehensive, and when the feather arrow hits, whether it can be resisted depends on luck!

"And the inside, that is, the torso position, has a structure very similar to the armor just now, which is made of iron pieces made of fine iron. Inside this pair of armor, there are four steel plates on the front chest and back, and two steel plates on each side of the body, a total of twelve large and small steel plates. However, these steel pieces are not connected to each other, but are held in those cloth bags on the outside of them. ”

He came to Pound's side, opened a cloth bag from the armor, took out a steel plate from it, and continued: "You see, this is the steel plate. ”

Several people watched for a long time, Xu Chu even knocked on the saber on his body, listening to the crisp sound it made, everyone couldn't help but applaud! Being able to make this sound means that the quality of this steel plate is quite good and the defense is very high!

Tian Fan smiled and said, "You have also seen that the quality of this steel plate is very good, and the defense is also good, but the position between the steel plate and the steel plate does not have much defensive power. Whether you can save your life under the feather arrow depends mainly on luck! ”

Zhang Fei couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he scratched his scalp and asked, "Boguang, why don't you tie the steel plate with a steel wire like Xuanjia?" Wouldn't that be a stronger defense? ”

Tian Fan said: "Don't worry, Yide, when I say what it does, you will understand!" ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "This pair of armor has a good effect of resisting knife slashes, of course, it refers to the chest and back torso, as for the rest of the parts, it will not work." As for the ability to resist spear stabbing and sword stabbing, it is also very average, unless the opponent stabs the position of the steel plate, it will inevitably be injured. In addition, the steel plate of this armor is relatively thin, and its defensive power is not comparable to that of the Xuan armor. ”

With a smile, he asked, "Is there any problem?" ”

Everyone's eyes were full of confusion, they didn't know what was the use of Tian Fan building an armor with such weak defense? Speaking of which, this thing has stronger defense than leather armor, but since it's iron armor, why don't you make it stronger?

Pang De muttered: "This armor weighs only about twenty pounds, and the weight is very light, but relatively speaking, the defense is a little weak!" ”

Tian Fan nodded and said, "Yes, the defense is a little weak!" However, in order to reduce weight, I had to do this! ”

After a pause, he pointed to the pair of armor in Lu Bu's hand and said, "Look at this last pair of armor again!" This pair of armor, I named it Piece Armor, well, in appearance, it is a bit like the current fish scale armor, but the defense is stronger and the weight is lighter! ”

"Its exterior is made up of thin sheets of steel of various sizes, which, you see, are light and thin, but not weak in defense, and numerous in number, which can effectively prevent feather arrows from being wounded. The most important thing is that it is like leather armor, which will not hinder the soldiers from doing all kinds of movements, chopping and stabbing, whatever they want! ”

Lu Budao: "Haha, Boguang, what do you mean by leather armor?" I think this is clearly leather armor, but you replaced the copper nails and iron nails on the leather armor with the current steel sheets! ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Feng Xian is smart, in a word!" Yes, this armor is based on leather armor, just because its exterior is made of stronger steel sheets, and its defense ability has risen a notch, and it is not weaker than ordinary fish scale armor! However, its weight is comparable to that of leather armor, only five catties heavier, much lighter than fish scale armor! ”…,

Everyone nodded, estimating the performance and use of these armor tools in their hearts, but they couldn't find a way.

Seeing the pain they thought, Tian Fan said: "Don't think about it, let's take a look at these weapons first!" ”

Pointing to the ring head knife in Zhang Fei's hand and the sword in Cheng Lian's hand, Tian Fan said: "This knife and this sword are made of fine iron, and their quality is between fifty refining and one hundred refinement, which can be regarded as very good weapons!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be surprised, hurriedly put down the things in their hands, carefully looked at the two weapons, and after looking at them for a long time, Zhang Fei shook his head in confusion and said, "Boguang, you didn't lie to me, right?" As far as this sword is, I think it is no different from an ordinary sword, how can it have such good quality? ”

Tian Fan said: "Hehe, don't say it's you, even Master Pu Yuan, who built them for the first time, don't believe it!" At the time......"

Suddenly, Liu Bei said: "Boguang, you ...... You're not sick, are you? ”

Tian Fan couldn't help but be stunned, what did Liu Bei mean by this? Looking at Liu Bei, and then at the rest of the people, he asked puzzledly: "Lord, why did you say this?" ”

The rest of the people were also puzzled, Zhang Fei reached out and touched Tian Fan's forehead, and when Tian Fan reached out to hit his palm, he quickly withdrew his palm, first smiled at Tian Fan, and then turned his head to Liu Bei and said: "Big brother, Boguang is not burning, he is not sick!" ”

Liu Bei frowned and looked at a few people, and finally fixed his gaze on Tian Fan's face, and he asked: "Boguang, you have a fine iron on the left and a fine iron on the right, how rare is fine iron?" And here, all the weapons and armor are made of fine iron, and in line with your meaning, those fine iron are blown by the wind? ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that it made sense, why did Tian Fan have so much fine iron here? You know, there is still a shortage of fine iron in this era, there are a little or two points, all of which are used to build weapons, who would be like Tian Fan, even armor is made of fine iron? This is indeed a flaw, they just listened attentively, and they actually ignored it!

Tian Fan was stunned for a while, and after a while, he said in frustration: "Damn, damn, I really deserve to die!" ”

After speaking, he saluted Liu Bei with a fist and said, "Lord, everyone should be damned!" After a slight pause, he continued: "Lord, I am so busy these days that I have forgotten to tell you good news!" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "What good news?" ”

Tian Fan smiled and said, "Lord, do you remember the Li Liang Li letter I mentioned to you before?" It's Li Liang, who is in charge of firing porcelain in my family! At the beginning of last year, I asked him to fire a vessel, and it was successfully fired at the end of last year. At the beginning of January this year, I used that thing to refine iron, and I was already successful! Now, Master Pu has mastered the knack of refining refined iron, and he can refine thousands of catties of refined iron every day! ”
