Wiping a handful of sweat from his forehead, Zhou Ran took a few heavy breaths, after an all-night attempt, he finally used all the remaining 8 earthen stoves to the state of scrapping, but even this attempt basically made him determine the result.

At present, among the remaining 8 earthen ovens, that is, the 4 types of earthen furnaces, the original earthen stove is the least durable, and among the three types of earth stoves in the revised version, the most durable is the thickest one, that is, the two earthen ovens on the edge that have not been air-dried at the beginning and have not been air-dried until they have returned from the old man.

These two earthen furnaces are the thickest, and at the same time, the resistance to the flame is also the highest, Zhou Ran injected all the internal gas, but also caused the internal cracking, until the final scrapping is only because of the smelting of too much metal at one time, resulting in the hot metal in the case of high temperature to disintegrate to the inner surface of the earthen furnace, so it caused its damage. If the weight of the smelted metal were to be controlled, the two earthen ovens might be able to last a very long time.

In addition to these two earthen furnaces, the remaining two earthen furnaces also have their own advantages, but in general, the most durable must be the thickest one, and finally Zhou Ran also chose this, but although the type of earthen furnace was selected, Zhou Ran did not have time to continue fiddling with the earthen furnace for the time being, he just smelted a large number of metals in the process of trying, and under the condition that he continued to inject internal gas, all these liquid metals remained in a liquid state.

Anyway, he had already thought about this problem before trying the earthen oven before, so he prepared quite a lot of molds, adjusted the liquid bronze, and then injected them into the molds one by one.

Nearly half of the molds are all related to the chariot, and they are basically all kinds of small parts forged to strengthen the main body of the chariot, and only the remaining half are weapons and equipment.

Mainly because Zhou Ran doesn't have forging-related skills now, even if he really has practiced liquid bronze to forge equipment, unless a considerable part of this equipment is related to handicraft or carpentry, otherwise he can only enjoy a 10%~20% bonus, and with his craftsmanship is now only at the level of mastery, it is very difficult to forge Hong-level equipment.

And the proportion of weapons in these molds he made is relatively small, after all, now when opening all kinds of treasure chests, the weapons of purple light and golden light are not in a few territories, basically everyone has their own weapons, and not one has at least two, even holding two or three of their own weapons, so Zhou Ran has not worked much on weapons, and a considerable part of the equipment molds are armor types.

Moreover, Zhou Ran did not make small armor molds, he made a large number of armor pieces in batches, and as long as the armor pieces were slightly combined, they could be made into a bronze armor by combining them with the bronze medicine furnace before they were matched.

Don't think that the defense of bronze is weak, with Zhou Ran's current combat power, it is basically at the level of the middle and upper reaches of the flood level, if he is only allowed to use stone weapons, even if he tries his best, it is impossible to destroy the defense of the bronze type, unless it is to inject internal qi into the weapon, but these primitive people in the primitive era have not mastered internal qi.

That is to say, even if the two values of strength or agility have all reached the level of 40 points or even 50 points, it is impossible to destroy the bronze armor with a stone weapon, and even if you want to destroy the bronze armor with a bronze weapon, it will take a lot of strength to do it, after all, the metal ratio of the weapon and the armor is not at the same level at all.

After all, armor is made to defend against weapon attacks, usually unless the difference between the attributes of the two sides is very obvious, or the attributes of both sides are very high, and then the quality of the armor used is very poor, otherwise usually the same level, and the strength gap is not too outrageous, the armor can basically perfectly defend against the attack, and the attack of the sharp weapon of the bronze material is also the sword, gun, sword and halberd, etc., for the armor of the same level, it is basically ineffective.

And the armor is not made for the people who use the weapons to try their best to fight them, after the armor is put on, it is to clearly tell the enemy that there is armor in this place, you don't have to try to attack this place, to attack those parts that are not wearing armor.

In fact, the vast majority of generals do the same, if they wear a metal armor, they will die on the battlefield, and there are probably only two possibilities.

Either they are slashed in the neck by a powerful enemy, or they have no defenses such as the face, or they are using that kind of heavy weapon, after all, most armor can only defend against slashing, and tricks like blunt strikes, which use impact as the main means of attack, are very difficult to defend against.

In real history, those powerful generals in ancient history basically used war hammers or double maces and the like, and when it comes to real fighting, these things are much better than any swords, guns, swords, and halberds.

And the main reason why Zhou Ran wanted to make such bronze armor was to arm a few generals, after all, with their current strength, ordinary battles would definitely be nothing to them.

But if you encounter a very large number of enemies, it is not easy to say, after all, it is very energy-consuming to want to divide your mind to defend against the enemy's attack, in fact, in the process of fighting, it is very likely that a very small mistake will kill you.

And if there is such a strong defensive armor, then even the occasional small mistake or two is not a big problem, after all, the armor can defend against most attacks.

While thinking about this, Zhou Ran opened the mold, and after several hours of drying, Zhou Ran, who returned to the woodworking workshop, even made a batch of various small carts and other things, and these armor pieces were all completed.

Zhou Ran directly smashed the mold, and then poured out the armor pieces, even if only a small part of the bronze was used to make the armor pieces, but the final production of the armor pieces exceeded 100 pieces, Zhou Ran roughly compared, calculated a little, even if it was the size of the fierce, these armor pieces were enough to make him three armors.

Nodding with satisfaction, this amount is basically enough, Zhou Ran took out 20 of the armor pieces, and began to make them tentatively, I have to say that there is still a good thing about the death game, that is, these generals can strengthen their strength and physique according to the improvement of attribute values, otherwise this bronze armor, ordinary people may not be able to afford it.
