Chu Zhen doesn't know anything about swords or armor. T10 high carbon steel and other things are all boasted by the boss who sells cold weapons.
He picked up a gun tip from the weapons pile and said with a smile: "No matter how good a sword is, it is just an accessory. You mostly use guns in battles, right?"
Although modern people often brag about swords, sword masters, sword masters, sword gods, etc., as far as Chu Zhen knows, guns are the mainstream weapons on the battlefield.
"Use more bows and guns."
Li Shimin also picked up the tip of a spear and looked at it carefully while explaining: "When two armies are fighting, they must form a formation. They need to advance and retreat well in order to maintain a stable formation. Before the battle, the bow and arrow can be thrown thirty feet away. During the battle, the spear can resist the enemy." , defend with a shield, and when there is a chaotic battle, draw a sword to kill, or rush into the formation with a spear, swinging it wide and wide to make the enemy weak."
Chu Zhen nodded, "This is the role of a strong general. He may not necessarily kill many people, but he can lead the soldiers to charge into battle."
Li Shimin mentioned rushing into formation many times, which shows the importance of maintaining formation in ancient battles.
"It's also a good gun!"
Touching the head of the gun with his sword, Li Shimin praised: "Find a good white wood and put it on it to make a horse spear. It will be a magic weapon that soldiers can't put down!"
"What are the differences between horses, spears, and spears?"
Hearing him talk about making the spear head into a horse spear, Chu Zhen asked.
"In the Han Dynasty, it was often called a spear, but now it is often called a gun."
Li Shimin said: "The charge on horseback pays more attention to the length of the gun barrel. Therefore, the spears used by the cavalry are longer than the spears of the soldiers in formation. With slight improvements, they are called horse spears."
Chu Zhen thought of Cheng Yaojin. In Sui and Tang novels, this demon king used an axe, commonly known as a three-blade axe.
But in fact, in history, Ma Shu was the one Cheng Yaojin made good use of.
"By the Ming Dynasty, no one called the gun Ma Shan anymore."
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the poems written by Li Qingzhao and Lin Daiyu, stood up, and came to look at the pile of weapons.
The first thing he picked up was a scale-shaped armor.
"They're all steel pieces with holes in the middle? They're all exactly the same..."
Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself, then picked up the cape and looked at how the scales were strung together. He bent the cape again to see if he could slash flexibly after wearing it.
After looking at the shirt, he picked up the helmet again, took off his hat, and tried to put it on.
Li Shimin also picked up the leg skirt and looked at it. After asking Chu Zhen's permission, he slashed it with his sword.
"Ding."
A string of sparks popped out, and a cut appeared on the steel piece on the leg skirt, but the whole thing was intact.
Li Shimin looked at the sword in his hand again, showing an expression of surprise.
The sword and armor were both sharper and stronger than he imagined.
Chu Zhen smiled and said: "In ancient times, it was a serious crime to hide armor privately, but here you can buy it at will. Moreover, it is made of stainless steel and will not rust easily when soaked in water."
"Stainless steel?!"
Li Shimin was shocked by this rustless iron piece.
"How much does this set cost?"
Zhu Yuanzhang touched the silver-white scales with a calm expression, as if he thought that was all.
"Five thousand yuan, including armor and a sword."
Chu Zhen reported a number and explained: "Your one penny is about the same as our two dollars, but the actual situation is more complicated. For example, silver is not very valuable, but a gold ingot worth twenty taels for one dollar can be sold for twenty taels." Ten thousand yuan.”
"One penny is two yuan... Twenty taels of gold ingots are two hundred thousand yuan. Can you buy forty sets of armor like this?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's calm expression finally changed.
"almost."
"You can buy as much as you want? How much do you want?"
"Buy whatever you want."
"I want one hundred thousand sets!!"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, he could not suppress his expression and became completely excited!
One hundred thousand soldiers of the Ming Dynasty wore such armor, and the powerful force formed by the formation alone was enough to scare the courage of the Northeast Yuan Dynasty in Liaoning and the Mongolian tribes in the north.
Such finely crafted and first-class armor could only be worn by generals in the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention these iron pieces can actually prevent rust!
Several people looked over one after another. Li Qingzhao, who was sitting in Chu Zhen's seat, also put down his copy of Hu Weiyong's strategy, walked over to look at Chu Zhen, and picked up a piece of fish scale armor from another box.
"I also want 10,000 sets!"
Before Chu Zhen could say anything, Li Shimin also came over to buy arms, "I also have gold. I just captured many of Xue Ju's treasures and there are thousands of gold ingots in the warehouse."
After looking at the two of them, Chu Zhen laughed: "Although you can buy whatever you want, how are you going to take it back?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's excited expression suddenly froze and he looked at the stairs.
"Besides, buying too much will draw attention to yourself."
Chu Zhen did not explain further.
The impact of exposing the History of Time and Space would be too great, and he didn't want to take unknown risks.
"Pity……"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said that the sight of one hundred thousand Ming troops arrayed in armor and frightening Bei Yuan's courage would never be seen again.
Li Shimin was also disappointed.
"Don't worry, there is still a divine weapon!"
Chu Zhen picked up a bow, handed it to Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "I heard that Erlang you are good at riding and shooting. Come and see how this bow looks like!"
"..."
"..."
Words cannot describe Li Shimin's expression at this moment. He was holding the bow, no, holding this thing. He looked at it and then at Chu Zhen, with an expression like "Are you sure this is called a bow and arrow?"
"This is a bow?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked. It took him a long time to say: "It looks like a bow, but what are these two wheels?"
It was the first time he saw someone tie the wheels used for lifting things to the ends of bows and arrows.
Isn't this just a fool's errand?
"Haha, don't doubt it, it's a bow!"
Chu Zhen laughed, picked up another bow and handed it to Li Qingzhao, saying: "You all have a look and try the feel of the bow and arrow we have here."
With that said, he walked back to the computer desk and showed Hu Weiyong's strategy to Lin Daiyu.
This time he didn't explain a word. He looked at Sister Lin, smiled at her, put down his strategy, continued to walk back to Li Shimin, took the bow and arrow in his hand, and began to explain to them.
"It's called a compound bow. Even though it looks weird, it's actually full of technology and hard work!"
"Technology...and hard work?"
The three of them were confused.
Chu Zhen explained: "For example, these wheels may look weird, but with them, the force of pulling the bow can be reduced by half. You are good at using bows and arrows. You should know that you can reach full strength with only half the force." What does the draw effect mean?”
He picked up an arrow at random, put it on the bow, pulled the bowstring, and pointed it out the window. Without aiming, he let go of the bowstring directly toward the wasteland and let the arrow fly out through the window. "That's it. I simply pulled the string, but It can achieve the effect of drawing your bow with all your strength!"
Seeing this, Li Shimin was deeply moved.
Not to save effort, but to be precise.
You need to tighten your arms to draw the bow with all your strength. When shooting on horseback, aiming takes time, so you can't hold the bow to aim for too long.
But if you switch to the compound bow that Mr. Chu mentioned, you can use half the force to make the arrow penetrate the enemy's armor, and the time you can aim is greatly increased.
Even if he holds a compound bow and pulls the string with all his strength, wouldn't he be able to shoot the arrow a hundred feet away? !
If you shoot an arrow at someone within ten feet, you may not be able to shoot the opponent's general off his horse.
The power of this compound bow may be...
"I don't understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang held a compound bow and frowned at its wheels: "How can adding wheels save labor?"
"Fixed pulleys cannot save labor, but movable pulleys and pulley blocks can."
Chu Zhen explained a little, "Look carefully, this is a big pulley inside a small pulley. The big wheel is an irregular circle...
Strictly speaking, it does not save effort, but saves the power to maintain the bow string, allowing the power to be accumulated and released after releasing the bow string. Moreover, the large and small wheels can increase the speed at which the bow string bounces back, allowing the arrow to shoot faster! "
After explaining, I looked at them both.
Li Shimin seemed to understand, and Zhu Yuanzhang half understood and half didn't understand.
Chu Zhen looked at Li Qingzhao, the talented woman. Li Qingzhao smiled at him and said, "So this is what Mr. Chu learned."
She never regarded Chu Zhen as an uneducated person, even though his literary talent in writing articles was very poor, his handwriting was terrible, and the articles she wrote seemed to take a lot of effort, and he even called himself a layman.
But Li Qingzhao has always known that Chu Langjun is actually a knowledgeable person, which can be seen from his confident temperament, good conversation, and a room full of books.
Previously, when Chu Langjun was playing with the computer, she only had a rough look at it. Now that he was explaining why the compound bow was so powerful, she finally got a glimpse of Chu Zhen's talent.
As she had guessed, Chu Langjun was far more knowledgeable and talented than she could compare to.
