Chapter 166: Equipment Design

If it weren't for the inheritance of the people's respect for the sacrificial platform, Hongyu would not want to waste wine and send it over.

"Patriarch, what exactly does this altar do? Why do adults care so much? ”

Shansa was not a native of the River Valley tribe, but a trophy captured from another tribe during a war, and because she was young, beautiful, and understanding, Hongyu did not sell her, but stayed with her.

"The altar? It's just a place for the little ones to play at home! ”

Hongyu was angry, but in this case, he would not say it in front of the people, there were only two people in the hall at this time, Shanshan did not understand the inheritance of the priests, and of course did not have the deep-rooted respect of the people.

Shanshan's incomprehension of the sacrificial platform is simply a confidant to Hongyu.

"But why do the people respect the altar so much? It's almost beyond the level of the patriarch. ”

Shanshan asked in a low voice with a curious expression.

She had been a member of the broad-leaved tribe, and when their tribe was defeated by the tribe of the river valley, all the young men except her were brought to the bazaar and sold.

"Isn't the strength of the tribes in the valley all brought down by the patriarch?"

Shanshan was also just coming of age, and when she first came to the River Valley tribe, she was still a young girl, and she had big eyes, which were very pitiful.

"It's just two stinky boys pretending to be mysterious!"

Hongyu snorted coldly.

It's just that the patriarch of his generation can hardly shake the inheritance of the priests, and those stupid people dare not recognize his great achievements!

In this battle with the Bluegrass Tribe, he definitely wants to win!

Jun Qianqian sat at the simple table, writing and drawing on the paper with a pen, Luo Ze was writing directly on the ground next to him, the heavy crossbow was ready, but the guard tower was not yet completed.

Pello sat at the door and studied the indigo made by Jun Qianqian, this dye smelled stinky when it was bottled, and it had a special aroma when it was dyed on the cloth.

Pelo liked the blue of the sky very much, and kept muttering in his heart:

What kind of clothes should I make from the dyed material?

"The White Rock Tribe won't reveal how many weapons are sold, did you tell Pura not to risk any more inquiring?"

I don't know how much difference the weapons purchased by the River Valley tribe are from the current reserves of Blue Grass.

"Don't worry about that guy in Pula."

When the Wilderness Tribe formed an alliance with the Purple Flower, it was already regarded as falling to the Purple Flower Tribe, and the Baiyan Tribe was very defensive against them, and without the Purple Flower intervening, the atmosphere between the two tribes was very stiff.

Pula is still very measured in gathering intelligence.

"I have an idea."

Jun Qianqian handed over the drawings that she had finally drawn to Luo Ze to see.

"What is this?"

Luo Ze looked at the drawings and thought that Jun Qianqian wanted to install the heavy crossbow on the sheep cart.

"The original version of the vehicle!"

Jun Qianqian smiled, this is not a simple combination of crossbow arrows and cars, but a heavy crossbow made into a convenient one.

In ancient Chinese warfare, there were already chariots, some carrying weapons, and some responsible for collisions.

In the past, Purple Flower's heavy crossbow had to be pressed repeatedly, and it was more appropriate to install it in a place where it could be concealed and defended.

But now that they have repeaters, it takes about the same amount of time to replace them as it does to press the strings, so that a person can push the crossbow and move while firing crossbow arrows.

"If you really fight, this thing will become an artifact."

The ballista is less than a meter wide, propelled by human power, and can even travel through the mountains.

"If we need to fight on a flat ground, we can make a larger hull, run with sheep, put a larger heavy crossbow on it, and the range will be multiplied."

The chariot gives the heavy crossbow, which could only be passively defended in the turret, mobile.

"But if you fight in the woods, the power of crossbow arrows and bamboo bows will be limited."

This kind of thing is made first, and it is not bad to let the bluegrass tribe test it in actual combat.

"We are blocked, and so is the enemy."

At this time, the importance of the shield is reflected.

The shields of the Purple Flower Tribe in the past were made by removing the door panels and fences and other objects.

After having enough time, Daze and Jun Qianqian finally finalized two shields.

One is a round shield that is light in your hand when you are engaged, and the other is a curved shield that protects against the enemy's spear when you charge against each other.

The design of the round shield is what Jun Qianqian saw from the movie, full of medieval/century/Western style: the main body of wood, the edge is wrapped with iron sheet, and the center and the surface of the shield are made of iron rivets.

The round shield is mainly anti-strike and arrow rain, the iron sheet is sandwiched between two layers of wooden planks, the leather handle behind the shield is easy to grasp, and there is a strap that can be carried on the body when moving.

The volume of the curved shield is at least three times larger than that of the round shield, and the main body is also made of wood, but because the front and rear surfaces are wrapped with iron sheets, at first glance, it is really unrecognizable that it is made of wood.

When this shield was made, it was thought that the entire shield would be made of steel.

But this is too heavy, and there is not so much iron, so I came up with the design of the wooden board wrapped with iron sheet, and then the iron sheet is sandwiched inside the wooden board.

In this way, the weight of the shield is reduced and the cost is saved.

Not to mention, after testing, the ability to resist heavy crossbows is not much different from a shield made of steel.

The handle of the curved shield is fixed, and the iron handle is wrapped in a layer of animal skin, so that in winter, it will not freeze and slip.

However, this kind of large and cumbersome shield, except for siege, has no place for it for the time being.

"The Purple Flower Warriors who came to support all wore a full set of protective gear."

Both of them like to design equipment very much, Jun Qianqian has watched a lot of movies and television, and there are relevant descriptions in them, and Luo Ze will make trade-offs and adjustments according to the actual situation of Zihua.

"Big brother can weave chain mail?"

Jun Qianqian's eyes lit up instantly.

The Purple Flower Tribe can now produce iron chains, but the yield is too low, and there are still too many places where they need iron chains.

"Maybe it's not the same chain mail you said."

Luo Ze took out a package, which contained chain mail specially made for her.

"This structure...... How do you feel like a mahjong mat? ”

Jun Qianqian took out her armor from the package, she was not the combatant who rushed to the front, but every time her equipment was upgraded, she brought a copy.

"Your kind of soft armor conjugated with iron wire and iron rings, the eldest brother said that he can't make it now, so he can only temporarily make this kind of small iron piece connected to the iron ring."

The chain mail that Jun Qianqian said can be woven into the shape of a jacket, which can effectively protect the entire upper body, and the simple version made now can also protect vital parts such as the chest, back and waist, but the defense of the shoulder, neck and upper arms cannot be talked about.

"Before soft armor is popularized, let's continue to use iron armor."

The production process of purple flower iron armor is already very mature.
