News came from the Ordnance Research Department that the research and development project of body armor was successful.

Xia Qi, who has always cared about this piece, went over directly.

Body armor can be roughly divided into three categories, namely soft body armor, hard body armor and composite body armor.

There's a lot to tell from the name alone.

Soft body armor is the lightest and most comfortable to wear.

The use of special high-performance fibers can effectively absorb and distribute the kinetic energy on the bullet, so as to achieve the effect of bulletproof.

Of course, it sounds mysterious, but in fact, this is the worst kind of bulletproof body armor.

It's okay to defend against some small firearms such as pistols, but once you hit a powerful rifle, you still have to be injured, and you still have to die.

At the same time, as long as one shot, the fibers on the body armor will be destroyed after absorbing the kinetic energy of the bullet, which is basically equivalent to disposable.

Its advantage is that it is light and close-fitting, and on weekdays, some troops or important people who perform special tasks can wear it close-fitting, but when it is replaced by soldiers charging on the battlefield, wearing this is definitely not enough.

Then, there is the rigid body armor.

This type of body armor is laminated inside, and some metal or bulletproof ceramics will be inserted to resist the attack of bullets.

If Xia Qi wants to use some bulletproof metal to make body armor, but it is a typical rigid body armor.

The bulletproof ability is better than the soft type, but the flaw is also very obvious, that is, heavy!

In addition to a body armor, ordinary soldiers also have to bring a series of weapons and equipment such as rifles, ammunition, grenades, etc.

Not to mention, there are so many metal plates in it, it feels panicked to think about it.

In this way, the last composite body armor has become the most cost-effective body armor.

Just look at the name, this is a comprehensive version of neutralizing the defects and advantages of soft body armor and hard body armor.

And the Ordnance Research Department of Great Xia mainly studies this.

In terms of appearance, there is actually nothing to say, on the surface, it is a black bulletproof vest, and its focus is on bulletproof performance.

You can't test it on real people, it's too dangerous.

Therefore, the Ordnance Research Department has already prepared a number of models for testing.

When they were developing body armor, they used this model for experiments.

The shape of the model is basically based on the average size of a human soldier, and after the model is dressed in a bulletproof vest, the experiment officially begins.

The firearm used in the test was the latest type of lightning seven companies in Great Xia.

There is no need to call a soldier over, although Xia Qi likes to play with bows more, his marksmanship is also quite good, and he directly picked up the Lightning Seventh Company and went into battle in person.

The wooden butt feels first-class, picking up a magazine, Xia Qi's loading action is extremely skillful, and after a few light sounds, the trigger is pulled down.

Bang!

With the sound of a gunshot, the disemboweling bullet hit the body armor directly.

A member of the Ordnance Research Department, who had been waiting for a long time, ran up while gesticulating and took off the body armor from the model.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the test, members of the Ordnance Research Department replaced the bulletproof clips inside the body armor with each shot.

The bulletproof clip is designed to be easy to replace, and after getting acquainted, it will not take too much time to replace.

And during the time when the member of the Ordnance Research Department was replacing the bulletproof clip, Xia Qi also walked forward unhurriedly while removing the bullet case.

In that shot just now, he fired it from the maximum range of the Lightning Seventh Company.

Then, according to the test process, he walked fifty meters forward with each shot.

And as the distance continues to close, the power of the bullet will definitely become stronger and stronger, only in this way

, so they can get more accurate data.

The speed of the normal test is very fast, and Xia Qi's marksmanship is also very accurate, not only did he not miss the target once, but even every time, the bullet could accurately hit the chest.

Many newcomers who have not met before have been eye-opening.

After firing several shots, the member of the Ordnance Research Department who was in charge of replacing the bulletproof splint directly raised his hands and crossed them.

This means that there is no need to continue the firing test, because at this distance, the bulletproof splint has been completely pierced, and the bullet armor has lost its meaning.

And now, the position where Xia Qi is standing is still three hundred meters away from the body armor.

The test came to an end for the time being, and a few pieces of bulletproof splints that were removed were soon sent to Xia Qi's eyes.

From far to near, it can be clearly seen that this body armor can block the shooting he takes from standing at the farthest distance.

And as the distance continues to be pulled, the damage to the bulletproof splint becomes more and more serious.

After waiting for the distance to be shortened to 300 meters, with the power of the Lightning Seventh Company, it was already able to inflict a fatal attack on the soldiers wearing this body armor.

That's pretty much it, in the case of controlling costs, being able to manufacture on a large scale, and configuring each soldier, you can't ask too much.

However, the trial is not completely over.

You must know that the biggest role of body armor on the battlefield is to protect against those shrapnel that explodes.

For this reason, the Ordnance Research Department also specially engaged in two anti-personnel grenades.

Of course, this grenade must not be thrown directly onto the body armor.

On the battlefield, if you are directly slapped in the face by a grenade, then you should just give up the struggle

In this way, a dwarven bombardier with first-class skills was found to go into battle in person.

Under the dwarven bombardier's superb bomb throwing techniques, its throwing position is controlled very accurately, and the shrapnel that splashes away after the explosion of the opponent grenade constitutes a pretty good protective ability.

In general, this body armor is still okay, and there are no problems with the cost and efficiency of manufacturing.

After reading the cost and material table, Xia Qi signed his name with a simple stroke of the pen, and this set of body armor was officially put into mass production.

Recently, the development of Great Xia can be said to be proceeding steadily, and its military strength is also gradually improving.

On the other side, near the No. 9 Sea, in the face of the constant attacks of the Huaxia Combined Fleet, William Mousse's Fishman Army and the Europa Combined Fleet had a bad time.

In order to cover the landing of the combined Europa army, this entire sea area not only needs to be strictly defended, but at the same time, the sea communication routes of their Europa camp undoubtedly need a lot of sea troops to maintain.

Everyone can see that Huaxia's fleet is already completely eyeing their supply ships and troop transport ships.

Recently, their supply ships and troop transport ships have been attacked twice in a row by the Huaxia fleet hovering on the periphery of the sea, and at the same time, the combat ships replenished by various Europa players have also been attacked mercilessly.

For a while, the scene was also very chaotic.

Just like the Huaxia Combined Fleet, in the face of the fiercely defended Fishman Army and the Europa Combined Fleet, it was impossible to attack it for a while, and the same is true for the Europa camp.

At this time, the Huaxia Fleet was completely broken into pieces, and started a guerrilla war at sea, specifically picking out their supply ships and troop transport ships.

In the face of this situation, it is difficult to avoid even increasing the number of escort troops.

Not to mention that once too many troops are withdrawn, their defensive strength on the side of the No. 9 Sea will decrease, and it will not be good for the Huaxia Combined Fleet, which is eyed by the tiger, to take advantage of the weakness.

And on land, taking advantage of the momentum of defeating the foreign combined fleet before, that time, their Europa camp had tens of thousands of troops landing.

Now, this support soldier has directly launched a rapid march, intending to urgently support the army of dark elves trapped in the continent.

In the meantime, the army of dark elves is suffering

The constant siege of the United Nations Army.

Compared with the foreign united army that has a huge advantage in troops, even if one group dies, there will be a second batch to be replenished immediately, the dark elf army is too unadvantageous.

Although there is still a strategic unit of Hydra in hand, the overall strength of the entire army is only about 30% compared to its peak.

The fundamental reason for this is that as the battle time is extended, the dark elf mage troops are basically abolished because their mana has been exhausted.

The magic ballista of the Dark Elf Artillery Unit is also unusable due to the lack of magic crystals to provide energy.

In this way, the pressure on the battlefield is all piled on the Hydra and the front row troops.

This also directly led to the fact that the number of casualties among the front-row troops was getting bigger and bigger, and at the same time, the hydra was also running out of mana, and there was not even a drop of venom in the poison sac, and as soon as it entered the battlefield, it could only resist with the strength of its body.

But in the final analysis, there is a big gap between the demonic beasts of the elven civilization and the giant beasts of the orc civilization in terms of physical fitness.

The fundamental reason for this is that the development panel of the orc civilization can provide a large number of enhancements, almost to the point of strengthening the giant beast to the point of being like a monster.

Therefore, in the same state, if you fight hand-to-hand combat, the monsters of the elven civilization players will not be able to defeat the monsters of the orc civilization players at all without any spell means.

At this time, the Hydra's combat effectiveness can be said to be greatly reduced, and it was extremely embarrassed in the face of the shelling of the armor-piercing shells of the foreign combined fleet.

At the same time, in battle, if the hydra is seriously injured, on weekdays, the dark elf army will directly let the dark elf mages perform blood healing techniques to treat it.

But now, the dark elf mages are no longer able to cast spells, so to speak, they are basically useless.

And the Hydra itself does not have the metamorphosis recovery power like the beasts of the orc civilization, which makes it more and more seriously injured in frequent battles.

Recently, the situation of the dark elf army can be said to be precarious.

In the face of the offensive of the foreign coalition army, they were defeated all the way.

The territory that had been captured by the four-way Europa army had now been handed over to half of it.

Of course, during this period, the attack of the foreign coalition army was not all smooth sailing.

The remnants of the Dark Elf army and Europa were even more tenacious than they had expected.

At the same time, due to the fact that the outer seas were captured by the Europa camp, this made the transportation and supply of their front-line supplies a big problem.

Fortunately, they had captured a large number of Jacopo Alfonso's cities along the way.

Although those cities were in disarray due to the war, they were still able to provide them with a lot of supplies under occupation.

So far, at least, there haven't been any major problems.

It's just that, considering that after that, their movements have to speed up a little, which is the main reason why the offensive of the foreign alliance army has become more and more ferocious recently.

In the roar of artillery fire, another city occupied by the Europa Coalition Army fell, and Vegeta, with his army of dark elves and the remnants of Europa's human forces, withdrew from the city area as quickly as possible and fled to the rear.

Even after nightfall, they did not dare to stop at all, maintained a hurried march, and only after two days and one night of emergency evacuation did they dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

Having found a place to camp for the time being, they needed to rest.

The previous battle had already made the soldiers very tired, and then they entered a state of rapid marching, and by now, everyone was almost at the limit and had to rest.

They did not dare to light a fire to avoid exposure, and after nightfall, the entire camp was almost completely plunged into darkness.

That night, even Vegeta, who had been on his alert until then, had fallen asleep without paying attention.

By the time he woke up from his sleep, it was already dawn outside.
