Chapter 70: The Armor Revolution

Zhang Tong and Mo Qing both took off their armor, and soon pieces of broken porcelain fell out of the armor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Ordinary people don't know that the armor made by Zhang Tong is actually not metal at all, but a piece of ceramic. Inside these pieces of armor are not the metal that most people think, but what most people think is fragile ceramics.

Before, Zhang Tong was hit by a hidden weapon and Mo Qing made a real cracking sound, which was actually the cracking sound of ceramics.

"Zhang Junhou, a ghost! The world thinks that ceramics are fragile, but you actually turned decay into magic, combining fragile ceramics with iron armor, so that the steel is wrapped around the ceramics and becomes a new type of armor. This kind of armor is not only more than half lighter, but the ability to defend against martial artists has not only not been reduced, but on the contrary, it has been directly increased by more than three times!" An Rong said with emotion.

Zhang Tong nodded and said: "This is also composite armor, in fact, it is not only homogeneous armor of the same material that can be used as armor, it is actually better to change the way of thinking! ”

An Rong was even more ashamed, they even forgot about this when they were in the army, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up and send this news to the summer capital, no! Use the eagle to transmit it, this is only available for top-level intelligence, and teleport back to the summer capital at all costs!"

Summer capital, the royal palace.

"Your Majesty, it's amazing, Zhang Junhou's new-style armor is really powerful! I asked the second-rate martial artist to use his internal force to use the sword to cut the armor, this armor composed of black feather steel and ceramics, except for the armor piece of the cut part was scrapped, but it did not hurt the meat inside, so this new type of armor can completely block the ordinary attack of the second-rate martial artist. In other words, our future soldiers can use this armor to compete with second-rate warriors!"

The officials of the armor test quickly sent the good news to Emperor Xia Kong, who looked at all this with a very excited face. In the past, because the internal force of the warriors of the rivers and lakes could easily penetrate most of the armor, the usefulness of the armor in the battle with the warriors was almost zero. Therefore, the warriors of the rivers and lakes are very rampant, and they almost don't even give face to the court.

But now with this new type of armor, the soldier's defense has been greatly improved, and even ordinary soldiers can withstand the attack of second-rate warriors, which is a great improvement.

"Your Majesty, the only drawback of this is that the armor can only be used once. Once attacked by the opponent, the corresponding armor will be severely damaged, and if the enemy slashes this position again, the soldier will also be injured or even killed. And there is another disadvantage, that is, the manufacturing cost is relatively large, whether it is black feather steel or such ceramics, it must be specially manufactured, and it is impossible for the whole army to use together. ”

Xia Kong said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, in fact, the best thing is not this new armor. Instead, Zhang Tong Aiqing provided us with a new idea, who said that armor must be made of the same material? We can use different materials to combine, so that it can have a very powerful effect. ”

"This new style of armor not only reduces the weight a lot, when the warrior directly pierces the sword or the sword qi, it will be because of the fragmentation of the ceramics inside the armor, but it will guide the sword qi to the four directions, and will not hurt the soldiers themselves. It's wonderful, who would have thought that ceramics that look fragile would have such wonderful uses. Zhang Tong really can think of what others dare not think, no wonder he can create a fighting spirit. ”

The civil and military officials present all knew that the meaning behind this composite armor was not just as simple as armor, but also represented a new idea behind it, and the effect caused was immeasurable.

In the past, homogeneous armor of the same material was easily broken through by the weapons and internal forces of the warriors, but with this ceramic fragmentation process, various forces can be distributed, and it can instead play a role in consuming energy to protect the user. That means that in the future, everyone's thinking will be greatly broadened, and there will be no need to worry about homogeneous armor, and in the future, the imperial court will set off a craze for experimenting with armor of various materials.

In the future, various materials will be tested on various composite armors, and the imperial court has a strong constraint on the warriors of the rivers and lakes. Let ordinary soldiers wear excellent armor, and ordinary soldiers are no longer people that warriors can slaughter casually. In particular, low-level martial artists no longer have any absolute advantage in the face of soldiers' group beatings, and low-level martial artists are likely to be beaten to death by ordinary soldiers.

As for the middle and high-level martial artists, it is no exception, if the middle and high-level martial artists have an excellent armor, it will be too great for the same level of martial artists.

This new type of composite armor represents not only armor, but also the rise of weapons, breaking the inherent thinking that armor did not work in battles between high-ranking warriors in the past. From now on, many types of composite armor will definitely be studied, and an excellent pair of armor for a martial artist of the same level is enough to become an important weight to overwhelm the opponent.

"Spread my order, order all the craftsmen of the imperial court to immediately give me all the strength to research and manufacture armor of various materials. As long as you get it out and use it on the troops, I'll be rewarded. Of course, I will reward the various craftsmen with two months' wages first, and then everyone will take turns to rest, and I must make sure to build enough armor as soon as possible. “

"There is not enough black feather steel, you can use ordinary steel. You can test some different materials, since there are ceramics, there can also be gravel, or sand, etc., although I can test it, and make it as soon as possible after the experiment. ”

Emperor Xia Kong is really in good spirits, and their court is no longer in a weak position for martial artists from now on. This composite armor is a revolution, a real revolution in armor. Open up the mind, once this idea is opened, the future benefit is immense.

"Pass on my order, give the ...... to the Marquis of Yiyong" Emperor Xia Kong suddenly fell silent, Zhang Tong is already a marquis, is it going to be given to the Duke of Guo next, this is not appropriate.

In this way, this merit is calculated first, and in the future, when the Marquis Zhang Tong has descendants, the imperial court will grant his son the status of marquis. ”

"The emperor is wise!" the courtiers hurriedly said.

No one can disagree with this suggestion, and this credit is definitely not small. Just this armor revolution brought about by the armor will bring a lot of benefits to the imperial court, enough to change the pattern of the world, and this credit is not too much.
