"What, three...... 30,000 sets of iron armor, Adou, you just sold your uncle for gold, and I can't make up so many iron armor for you! ”

In the Pastoral Mansion of Jiangling City, when he heard that Liu Chan, who had just returned to the city, asked him to prepare 30,000 sets of iron armor, Mi Fang, who was in charge of Jingzhou's money and grain baggage, was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Haha, why is my uncle like this? Isn't it just 30,000 sets of iron armor? Besides, what I want is not the full-body iron armor like the Xuanjia, the simplest two-dang armor will do......"

Looking at Mi Fang's shocked look, Liu Chan thought he was reluctant.

"Two armors? Isn't the armor still ironclad of the two dangs? I said, Adou, do you know how many iron armors there are in the army under the lord's command......"

Seeing that Liu Chan, the 'second ancestor', actually said that these 30,000 sets of armor were as easy as 30 sets, Mi Fang couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

You know, as far as he knows, even if you add up all the army armor under Liu Bei, the big boss and brother-in-law, I'm afraid you won't be able to make up 30,000 sets.

"No, second uncle, I remember that we shouldn't be short of iron, why is there so little iron armor?"

After learning from Mi Fang's mouth that all the armies in Jingyi and the two states added up to only 20,000 sets of iron armor, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel puzzled and puzzled.

You know, Yizhou is a big iron producer. In the original history, one of the most important reasons why Shu Han, the weakest Shu Han, was able to compete with Wei and Wu for many years was that Shu Han had iron smelting industry and weapon manufacturing technology that far surpassed those of the other two countries.

"Adou, iron is iron, armor is armor, how can the two be confused. Do you know how long it takes to make a suit of armor? It would take two or three days for a skilled craftsman to compile a piece of armor into a piece of armor......"

Looking at Liu Chan with a puzzled and puzzled face, Mi Fang shook her head helplessly.

No way, the production process of this armor is too cumbersome. At present, it is not as good as when the national power of the Han Dynasty was at its peak. After years of war and famine, in the case of a serious shortage of manpower, how can we still achieve the grand occasion of the Han soldiers.

Therefore, now the three families of Cao, Liu and Sun, except for the generals and some fine tax troops, ordinary soldiers, let alone iron armor, even leather armor cannot be done by everyone.

"Weaving armor? Why do we have to make up the armor, just don't make it? ”

Knowing that the reason for the scarcity of iron armor was actually this, Liu Chan couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

"Uh, don't make it up? How can this piece of armor be made into armor without weaving? ”

Seeing that Liu Chan actually said that there was no need to weave armor, Mi Fang, who had also experienced a lot of battle formations, couldn't help but look confused.

……

"Uncle, in this way, you don't need to spend a lot of time compiling nail tablets, right?"

After handing a freshly drawn armor pattern to Mi Fang, who was still confused, Liu Chan couldn't help but look at Mi Fang with some playfulness.

"Uh, this ...... Adou, are you sure this is two armors? Can such a thin armor protect against swords, guns, arrows, and halberds? ”

Looking at the drawings that were just two thin pieces of iron with arcs, if it weren't for the fact that they were drawn by Liu Chan with their own eyes, Mi Fang would have opened his mouth to scold.

You know, in order to increase the defensive performance, the vast majority of armor pieces have always been stacked on top of each other to increase the thickness.

But now Liu Chan's so-called two armors, how can there be any superposition, but they are just two separate thin pieces of iron, how can he have any defensive power in his opinion!

"Haha, I said uncle, this armor blocks the chest in front and the back in the back, what is this not two armors? As for whether you can defend against swords, guns, swords, and halberds, you will know if you try it out. ”

Looking at Mi Fang's suspicious expression, Liu Chan smiled very confidently.

Just kidding, although his two armors look a little simpler, how can they be borrowed from the plate armor that claims to have the strongest defensive power, how can it just be in vain?

……

"Phew!"

A few days later, in the weapons workshop under the jurisdiction of the Ordnance Supervisor, under the gaze of Liu Chan and others, accompanied by a huge roar, a 20-point steel plate about five points thick was smashed into a 'turtle shell' with a certain arc on the mold used as a cutting board in an instant under the bombardment of a huge water hammer.

Needless to say, this is exactly the new type of Liangdang armor designed by Liu Chan in the trial production of the Ordnance Superintendent.

Because of the sharp weapon of the hydraulic punch driven by the water turning and overturning, the time-consuming and laborious calcination in the past has become countless times easier, and now the output of '100 steel' in Jingyi and Yizhou has also been greatly improved.

Therefore, the material of this plate armor type two-dang armor designed by Liu Chan this time will naturally not be ordinary wrought iron, but 20 refining of 100 steel.

Not only that, but thinking of the world-famous cold calcined armor of a certain separatist dynasty in later generations, coupled with the great convenience brought by the hydraulic punch, he also chose the cold calcined method that is more conducive to improving the strength of the armor in terms of the punching method of this armor.

……

"Woooo

On the martial arts arena in the backyard of the State Pastoral Mansion, there were several sharp sounds of breaking the air, and several black lights as fast as lightning suddenly swooped out towards the iron-clad straw man twenty steps away like a spirit snake spitting out a letter.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

However, in the blink of an eye, the 'Spirit Snake', which was still fierce just now, fell to the ground one by one in a few crisp sounds of gold and iron.

"Shhh This ......"

Looking at the arrows that fell to the ground in front of him and the shallow pits on the armor, not to mention Mi Fang, even the second master, the 'martial saint', was so shocked that he breathed cold.

You know, this is not an ordinary arrow shot by a bow and arrow, but a steel arrow shot with a crossbow.

But even so, at such a close distance, it still failed to penetrate the armor in front of him, which shows the strength of this armor's defense.

"Haha, let's try other weapons!"

Looking at the shallow indentations on the plate armor type Liangdang armor that he had 'borrowed from his invention', Liu Chan, who had greatly increased his confidence, immediately called several sergeants armed with ring-headed knives and bones, and asked them to destroy the armor by chopping and hammering.

"Dangdangdang......"

A moment later, in the sound of gold and iron accompanied by the sound of sparks, the armor that had previously left only a few shallow dents under the fire of the strong crossbow finally had a considerable deformation under the hammer blow of several tired and breathless sergeants.

It's just that even so, the armor in front of him has still not been broken by a few people. And because of the curvature of the plate armor itself, although the armor surface has been smashed into concave and convex deformation, it is actually not very harmful to the person wearing the armor.

"Let's try it!"

Seeing that the defensive power of this armor was so amazing, the second master, who finally couldn't sit still, was also carrying his signature weapon, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, to the field at this moment.
