Yun Ting lay on a wicker chair in the middle of a courtyard, squinting lazily, and the warm sunlight shone down and shrouded him. Yun Ting didn't want to move at all, he just wanted to lie down like this, lie down, and sleep beautifully.

The sun is just right, and because of the block of the courtyard wall, the cold wind will not blow through, which is a holy place for those who like to bask in the sun. Not to mention, in this holy place, next to you, there is a peach tree, the stamens on the tree, from time to time the peach blossoms fall, it becomes an extremely beautiful scene.

No matter who it is, as long as you stay in Taoyuan Village for a long time and can let go of everything in your heart, then this is really a paradise. It can make people let go of everything in the world and enjoy the quiet, the peace, and go on forever.

Yun Ting was no exception, otherwise he wouldn't be lying like this now, his heart was empty. It's as if all the troubles are gone, and he can let go of everything that is pressed on his heart and enjoy life with peace of mind.

As long as you are human, there is no way to refuse comfort, and if you stay in a comfortable environment for a long time, any ambition will be consumed. Human beings, in essence, still pay more attention to enjoyment, can enjoy life without doing anything, get everything that many people want, and don't care about what existed before.

In a few days in Taoyuan Village, Yun Ting became familiar with these villagers of Taoyuan Village, whether it was a player or an aborigine, they could look at each other and nod and smile when they walked face to face. The people here are indeed very easy to get along with, and they are the kind of people who feel extremely comfortable.

Being kind to others means that this kind of person has an attitude towards things. It's just that if someone really thinks that this is an opportunity to take advantage of and a kind of weakness to be bullied, then it will be a nightmare to greet him. Only Yun Ting knows how terrible and intimidating these inconspicuous life players are and how intimidating they are in their hands.

Just like everything that exists in the world, existence is extremely reasonable, not to mention, in these reasonable things, one line and one by one, they can be compared to the grandmaster, and there is a great reason for the existence of people who are not much different.

Farming and animal husbandry, tricks, weapon forging, armor manufacturing... And so on, all of them are things that can affect the world, and even change the scales of a war.

"Blacksmith, why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? Or do you tailor think that a little win over me once will make me retreat? ”

"Hey, hey. There's no need to retreat, because whenever I see you, I have a feeling of raising my eyebrows, and I feel that the stuffiness in my heart doesn't exist! How can I be reluctant to see you, you must know that I haven't seen you once now, and I can eat a big bowl when I eat, which is delicious. ”

"Hmph. The villain has a will. ”

In the distance, the sound of quarrel came and fell into the ears of Yun Ting. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but smile at the scene he had seen a few days ago.

A few days ago, the tailor competed with the blacksmith, but in the end the tailor won. Because the tailor came up with a new work, it is also in the eyes of many people, it is incredible, a piece of armor full of ancient military wisdom and craftsmanship.

The blacksmith's armor-piercing cone shot by the bow and arrow was nailed into the top of the paper armor, but it only looked like dozens of layers of paper had been broken, and when it was pulled out, it was still possible to see the paper layer that had not been pierced by the armor-piercing cone. As for how many layers there are inside, Yun Ting doesn't know, it's obvious, this can be called a terrifying armor-piercing weapon in the cold weapon period, and the arrows named after the armor-piercing cone have a sense of powerlessness when facing this paper armor.

After that, at Yun Ting's suggestion, they went to the butcher and asked him to slaughter a pig and test it with a pig. The pig that was covered with paper armor, after being shot with a broken armor cone, removed the paper armor, and only left some contusion marks on the pig's body.

Although pigs are different from people, it is enough to explain some things, when people wear this paper armor, as long as they are not bare faces, and their necks are shot, then the chest and back protected by paper armor are shot, and most of them are not too big. This is already incredible, because the armor-piercing cone is used to deal with enemies wearing iron armor, and it can penetrate the armor and pierce into the body, killing people.

For this result, Yun Ting did not have much surprise, there is a sentence called, the end of the strong crossbow, the potential cannot wear Lu Minye, that is the situation of this situation. Paper armor is not just made of paper paste, in the first experiment, he found that paper armor is stacked layer after layer. Such a layer, with the benefit of the armor-piercing cone, when breaking through each layer, the force attached to it will be attenuated, until in the end, the strength is exhausted, and it can no longer advance by half a point.

From the perspective of mechanics, the force that supports the advance of the armor-piercing cone is in a process of constant attenuation in the process of contacting and breaking through layers of obstacles. Moreover, the force is constantly dispersed layer by layer, from one point to one piece.

After this, blacksmiths and tailors also became interested in this kind of experimentation. Blacksmiths' sharp weapons, tailors' armor, all need this kind of test to get specific data, but they couldn't get around the bend before, just thinking that they couldn't use people to experiment, but they didn't think that it would be good to change to pigs. As a result, the two pigs made the entire Taoyuan Village eat all kinds of pork delicacies for two days, and every villager in Taoyuan Village was even more oily at the corners of their mouths.

"Is Yun Ting there?" The blacksmith stopped in front of the courtyard gate and asked aloud.

"Yes, the door is not closed." Yun Ting rolled over from the wicker chair and sat up.

The door to the courtyard was pushed open, and the blacksmith and tailor walked in one after the other. When they entered the courtyard, they were not polite, and one of them took a bench and sat on either side, facing each other from a distance.

"I can agree to your request." The blacksmith spoke first. He went back and thought about it all night, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of Yun Ting's proposal, and the opportunity to make his work shine was something that a person like him couldn't resist.

The tailor glanced at the blacksmith and said, "I can say yes too." However, there are many issues that we must revisit. Because even if I have all kinds of complete skills in making paper armor, chain mail, and Mingguang armor, in a short period of time, it will not be possible to reach the level of equipping a small army of several hundred people as you said. ”

"Me too. Although there is still stock, and the armor-piercing cone only needs to make a head and attach it to the arrows, but I don't have any. The blacksmith also bluntly admitted the same problems as the tailor, although he did not want to be the same as the tailor, even on the same issues. But no, no, this kind of bragging, the blacksmith wanted to do it, and he wanted to do it to slap the tailor in the face, but he couldn't do it.

If you can't do it, it's so simple, three words are enough to suppress all reasons.

The tailor is even more tedious than himself in making armor, which the blacksmith admits. But it is not easy for him to build weapons, and he has to forge and polish them repeatedly before the final product appears. Moreover, this is still the most common type of weapon in the eyes of blacksmiths, the better the weapon, the longer it takes to build, and the more picky about the materials.

Thinking of this, the blacksmith couldn't help but think of the peers who were doing the same thing as himself in this era. He is standing on the shoulders of giants, and there are some of them behind him, and the ancient masters of cold weapons have gone forward and succeeded each other to have such a skill as he is now. To these people, the blacksmith respects the skills they have mastered, and respects the help they give themselves.

"Now, the stock of armor-breaking cones in the craftsmen and supervisors in the imperial court is not much, right? After all, war has not happened for a long time, and even if there is a foreign war, there is no need to use a sharp weapon such as an armor-piercing cone. Those cavalry of different races, I am afraid that in the three words of heavy cavalry, only two words of cavalry are occupied. ”

"Yes." Yun Ting nodded, he naturally wouldn't put all his eggs in the same basket. He has also fought in the craftsman prison, but with the current erosion in the court of Emperor Han Ling, it is conceivable how many good things there are in the craftsman prison.

Instead of being so thankless, he should come to Taoyuan Village to find blacksmiths and tailors to cooperate, and the craftsmanship of the other party, with their works, can be trusted, because it must be a fine product! As long as you are a good craftsman, then treat their works as if they were your own children, and they will work hard to create them.

Similarly, Yun Ting also has a grasp of this time. Now the answer came out, just as he had guessed before he came, and sure enough, neither the tailor nor the blacksmith refused, or rather, they had no way to refuse!

People like them have no way to watch their hard work and painstaking work dust. Not to mention, they can't even prove the extraordinaryness of their works, and it's even more torture for others to see them.

People are okay, people can self-regulate, blacksmiths and tailors can stay in Taoyuan Village, that is the people who are willing to be ordinary and enjoy peace. But their armor and weapons are not good. It's definitely not just about fun, it's about two very different things, from the day they were born, one for protection and the other for killing.

If you can't protect the person it should protect, and it is not draped on the person's body, then no matter how good the armor protection performance is, it is equivalent to an ordinary piece of clothing. Clothes can be worn out and accompanied until they can no longer be worn, while armor can only be covered with dust, and perhaps there will never be a day when the dust will be wiped off.

Weapons, there is no way to drink blood on the battlefield, and if they are not held in the hands of soldiers who fight for their beliefs, then they are no different from a sharp kitchen knife. The kitchen knife can also chop meat and cut vegetables, which is its own function, and the weapon may not be as good as a rolling pin in peacetime.

The pearl is covered with dust, which is unacceptable to anyone who pursues perfection. Tailors and blacksmiths, in the eyes of the clouds, are the kind of people who strive for perfection, they are all on their own path, and they want to draw the sharpest spear and the thickest shield.

"For quantity, I won't force it, just as much as I can." Yun Ting said what he was going to do.

In this era, just because there is no assembly line operation does not mean that it cannot be done. But weapons and armor are not needed by one person. What's more, the craftsmen needed to build weapons and armor, even if everyone is only responsible for a little, need time to train and make them proficient in the piece they are responsible for.

Time, what Yunting lacks most now is time, and the most important thing is time. He didn't know exactly what that time would come, maybe tomorrow, maybe half a month, maybe longer, it wouldn't be too far away anyway.

Equipment, he's now relegated to the next best thing, to get a piece of equipment, to get a piece of equipment for the others. His weapon doesn't need to be changed, the Qingyu Sword is among the divine weapons, in this ranks, there is no question of ranking, only the problem of weapon focus.

What he needs is a suit of armor, armor that can protect himself, armor with good protection. Equipment is something that is considered in the game, whether you are a player or an aborigine.

On the battlefield, it is the weapon in the hand that kills the enemy. It is the armor that protects oneself. These two things are not an exception for every general, every soldier, unless he wants to die.

Of course, there may be players who think that if they get a suit of armor with high defense, everything will be fine, and they will not die. But what Yun Ting knows is that even if there is armor with defense +99999 in the game, it won't make you all right.

This is just a statistic, even if you are wearing armor with such high defense, the enemy will still be injured and die if you hit your vital point and the parts that are not protected. Even if you are fully armored and arm yourself into an iron turtle, it is not invincible.

Weight aside, full-body armor does put you in a completely uninjured situation when facing some weapons. But armor is armor, it's not you, the person wrapped in it is still flesh and blood, it's very simple, as long as it's a few bombardments from a heavy weapon, you have to vomit blood, tissue contusions, and bones shattered.

That power, however, will not be completely attenuated by the presence of armor. Why do some generals like to carry a small mallet that is only the size of half an adult's arm? It's because if the mallet smashes over and smashes into the enemy's chest, even if he is wearing bright light armor, he will definitely die!

Armor is just to protect the user's body to the greatest extent in battle. This kind of protection is only to alleviate the damage suffered, and to say that it can be completely eliminated is simply a dream. Just like Yun Ting's Qingyu Sword for others to take, it is unknown how many times he can swing it when he picks it up, let alone kill people.

There is indeed a difference between good and bad equipment, but it does not mean everything! Because, it's people who use equipment, and it's you who decide what role these equipment can do!
