Important notice: Today the author had a discussion with the editor Ms. Bacon. Due to some policy reasons, the core settings had to be modified. Therefore, the setting of field of view expansion in Chapter 50 was modified. The field of view radius was determined from the "number of believers". In order to "save the index", it was decided to set the field of view radius.
Book friends, please go back and read it again, otherwise such a major setting change will cause inconsistencies in your subsequent reading. There are also slight adjustments to the chapters after Chapter 50. I am deeply sorry for the trouble it has caused you.
If you are already at the "salvation index" setting when you reach Chapter 50, you don't need to reread it.

Early the next morning.
Li Daoxuan had just gotten up when he saw Thirty-Two standing at the door of Gao Yiyi's house, cursing.
"Li Da, Gao Yiyi, you two losers who only eat and don't work."
Thirty-Two stood with his hands on his hips and pointed at their noses and cursed: "Tianzun asked you to make iron armor. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed. The thieves attacked a few days ago, but you only took out two pieces of armor." , What does the Heavenly Lord want from you? Don’t you blush when you eat the food that the Heavenly Lord rewards?"
These words made the two blacksmiths really blush. Behind them, there were some blacksmiths who came to the village from Wangjia Village, Zhengjia Village, Zhongjia Village and other places, and they also blushed together.
After a while, Gao Yiyi stood up and lowered his head and said: "It's not Master Li's fault. Tianzun gave him the order to build a strange new fire gun, and the order to me was to build iron armor. I...I said before ...I didn't expect that the thieves would really come, and there would be so many of them, so...I only made two pieces of double armor, and then I slowly learned the techniques of making various armors... I actually built a lot of them, but I didn’t have time to put them together into armor.”
The new blacksmiths also admitted their mistake: "We are also learning to make iron armor from Master Li. We also made a lot of iron pieces, but we didn't splice them together."
Thirty-Two scolded: "Don't fool me, there are a lot of nails, right? Take it out and let me see."
Gao Yiyi returned home and soon brought out a large dustpan. There were actually many armor pieces in different shapes. It could be seen that some of them were mounted on the shoulders, some on the arms, and some on the chest. of……
Thirty-Two: "Since there are so many, why not work together?"
Gao Yiyi picked his head and smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to explain it.
Li Da took over the conversation: "Third Master, this is indeed our fault. When we first came, we did not expect that the thieves would really come, and there were so many of them. We thought that Gaojiacun would not be able to use iron armor for a while, so we were negligent. . Secondly, we also lack the materials to join these iron pieces together."
The village chief strolled over from the side: "Tianzun has given you so much iron, but you still lack materials? Is there not enough iron?"
Li Da shook his head: "Iron is enough, but the armor is not all made of iron. Think about it, if it were all made of iron, how heavy it would be. We wouldn't have to wear it to fight. The armor would crush us to death. land."
The village chief couldn't help but ask: "What is it for?"
Li Daodao: "Cotton."
When he said this, Li Daoxuan outside the box understood. "Cotton" or "cotton cloth" would be more accurate.
I vaguely remember reading in some information that none of the extant Ming Dynasty armors unearthed is made of pure iron, and more or less cotton cloth is used. The iron armor pieces are connected together by cotton cloth strips.
Some armors even use more cotton cloth than iron pieces, so they are called cotton armor.
Cotton armor has many advantages over traditional iron armor.
The first is that it is light, so that soldiers will not be crushed before the battle is started. The second is that it is cheap, easy to maintain, not easy to decay, and has good warmth retention. It is especially suitable for the cold northern winter. Unlike traditional heavy armor, which needs to be tailor-made, it is suitable for early Firearms are also highly protective.
This is an advantage that traditional iron armor, such as chain mail, chain mail, and fish scale armor, lack.
Hearing what Li Da said, San Er's expression relaxed and he was no longer so angry: "Since you are short of cotton cloth, you should have told me earlier, and I will arrange for someone to bring flour to the county seat and come back with some cotton cloth for you. .”
Li Da and Gao Yiyi scratched their heads in embarrassment: "I really didn't expect the thieves to come so quickly and in so many numbers, so I didn't rush to say anything."
"Hey!" Thirty-Two shook his head: "[Incredibly stupid]."
Hearing them talking to this point, Li Daoxuan became happy: I have an old cotton-padded jacket that I don't want anymore. I want to pluck a ball of cotton out of it and give it to them?
However, after the cotton fiber becomes 200 times thicker, can it still be used to weave cloth?
Thinking about it again, there is something weird here!
Thinking back on the various things he put into the box, he vaguely felt that the rules of this box were not that simple.
It seems that "microscopic" items that are invisible to the naked eye will not become larger when placed in a box.
For example, if the fiber in the cabbage leaves he put in the box became 200 times thicker, then the little people would not be able to eat them at all.
There are also things like "molecules" and "atoms" in eggs and white rice. If they were enlarged 200 times, there would have been trouble long ago. There are also bacteria in the water. If they were also enlarged 200 times, the pool water would still be there. Can I drink it?
If you think about it this way.
He vaguely felt that microscopic things like bacteria, molecules, and fibers would not become two hundred times larger after being put into the box.
It's useless to think too much, it's better to give it a try. You'll know something like this once you try it.
Li Daoxuan opened the closet and dug out the old cotton-padded clothes he no longer wanted. He reached in through the hole in the corner of the clothes, grabbed a ball of cotton inside, pulled it out with a strong tug.
Then he gently placed it in front of Gao Yiyi and others.
At this time, Thirty-two was wondering where to buy cotton. Suddenly a ball of cotton fell from the sky and landed lightly in front of Gao Yiyi.
Everyone took a look: It was a big ball of cotton, as big as a house.
This is of course a gift from Heaven.
Everyone quickly knelt down and kowtowed to the sky.
Thirty-Two got up after knocking, reached out to a ball of cotton as big as half a house, picked it up, rubbed it in his hands, and said with excitement: "The fairy cotton from the sky is really good and white. Thin and long.”
Isn't this nonsense? Li Daoxuan Anle: This is top-notch Xinjiang long-staple cotton. It is a Central Asian long-staple cotton variety introduced from the Soviet Union in 1955. It was definitely not available in the Ming Dynasty. Of course you will find it strange after seeing it.
He could see that the cotton fibers had not become thicker and still maintained a very delicate quality. This shows that microscopic things will not become two hundred times larger when put in a box.
On the premise that the cotton fibers have not increased in size, the entire cotton mass has increased 200 times, which means that the number of cotton fibers has increased 200 times.
From this point of view, the microscopic objects placed in the box, such as molecules, atoms, fibers, cells, and the like, do not increase in size, but increase in proportion, making the objects as a whole larger.
When I think about it like this, things that I couldn't understand before are now suddenly clear to me.
Thirty-two grabbed a handful of long-staple cotton and said happily: "Village chief, go and call all the women in the village. Anyone who can weave will have work to do."
When the village chief saw so much cotton, he was already overjoyed: "It seems that our whole village can use new clothes."
