Although everyone has felt the benefits of the shield, the current number is still a little small, so everyone wants to rush to play a few times, but basically they are snatched away by others before they can fully enjoy it.
Looking at the noisy crowd, Song Xuan smiled and said to Shi Ban:
"Ban, take out the vine armor!"
"Okay, angel!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Shi Ban turned around and entered the room.
When Shi Ban came out fully armed, everyone in the hunting team was still immersed in the atmosphere of happily grabbing shields.
After watching for a while, Shi Yu, who had been watching the excitement with a "cold eye", finally saw Shi Ban, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Look, what is this?"
Following Shi Yu's fingers, everyone discovered the tightly wrapped Shi Ban.
Shi Meng asked in surprise:
"Angel, is this also..."
"Um!"
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by this brand new thing.
"If this were the case, wouldn't we no longer have to worry about getting beaten when fighting?"
"Yeah, he looks pretty well dressed..."
"But it seems to be a little thinner than a shield..."
After all, it is worn on the body, and it is too heavy to be conducive to movement, so the rattan armor only has two thin layers, and the thickness is about two-thirds of the current shield. However, if a layer of animal skin is added at the back, it will The defense should not be particularly low. This is a simple protection for everyone. The most important thing must be the shield in your hand.
"Get out of the way, let me try!"
Looking at Shi Yong, his hands started to itch, and he wanted to hit it with an ax a few times to test the defensive ability of the vine armor. When everyone around him heard this, they were all eager to try it, but Song Xuan and Shi But Ban was so frightened that Shi Ban's face suddenly turned pale with fright.
Song Xuan rushed forward and slapped Shi Yong on the head:
"You idiot, you're not afraid of hurting Shi Ban. If you get hurt, let's see who will make a weapon for you!"
Only then did everyone in the hunting team realize that the person inside the rattan armor was a living person. Even if Shi Yong's ax hit him, even if it could block the damage of the sharp blade, the huge force could not be easily carried by one person. living.
Shi Yong also felt a little guilty on the side. He almost hurt one of his own with his excitement. When he heard Song Xuan's scolding, he silently lowered his head.
Song Xuan also knew that everyone was just too excited and didn't take it into consideration, so he didn't criticize too much, and then said:
"Why don't you quickly find a target to put on it!"
Seeing that Song Xuan didn't scold him much, Shi Yong finally felt less nervous and took the lead and rushed out.
There were humanoid targets in the tribe, which were used for sling training in the winter. At that time, in order to train everyone's throwing skills, a lot of various targets were made, both humanoid and movable.
Now it has come in handy again. Later, although I did some training on bows and arrows, most of the shapes were not as vivid as the ones I made before. It is definitely not as useful as before when used to set rattan armor.
While everyone was looking for targets, Song Xuan went to his house and found some fruits. They were all relatively mature and very tender.
After everyone brought the target, Song Xuan took the opportunity to stuff the fruit into the vine armor, mainly to see how the fruit would change after being hit.
The vine armor has also been tested. It can withstand a blow from an ax without any problems. At most, the one or two small branches that were chopped down are directly broken. There is not much change overall.
But Song Xuan didn't have time to test its strength buffering, and he didn't dare to test it directly on someone. If it was too light, there would be no reaction. If it was too heavy, it would be somewhat uncomfortable. The trouble just now was Let Song Xuan think of such a little idea.
If this kind of ripe wild fruit is hit, it will immediately behave differently, and the feeling will be very intuitive.
Normally, if hit with an ax, it would definitely be torn into pieces. It depends on how effective the vine armor's blocking will be.
Everyone hurriedly put the rattan armor on the target, and finally used the main knife, and "bang bang" was struck with two axes.
With the shield Zhuyu in front, Shi Yong used a lot of strength this time. With the swing of the ax, several branches were cut off and splashed around.
However, if you look closely, you will see that only the surface layer was cut off, and the inner layer was not too damaged.
"Stop looking, look at the fruit inside!"
After hearing Song Xuan's words, everyone gave up studying the effects of the armor being hit, and hurriedly took it off again.
The inside of the target was made of thick thatch, and the outside was covered with a layer of animal skin, so it was similar to the human body. Song Xuan tied the fruits to various parts of the body with animal skins.
When everyone took off the vine armor, they saw that the juice was already flowing out. They carefully untied the animal skin and found that the fruit at the affected area had been cracked.
Although the surrounding fruits were not so seriously injured, they still showed varying degrees of damage. Most of the sides that were in contact with the armor had become darker in color.
However, this performance was still beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone thought that such a juicy fruit would be smashed directly under the vine armor. Unexpectedly, although it has been smashed now, it can't be said. rotten.
And looking at the performance of the surrounding fruits, it is obvious that the power of the two axes is not concentrated on one point, but is dispersed by the vine armor.
In addition, the vine armor can resist the most obvious cuts, so the protective effect can be said to be quite good. According to this effect, even if you take a few axes, there will not be any fatal damage, at most it will be a little uncomfortable.
If a layer of animal skin is added to the outside, the effect will be better.
But it is a pity that the current rattan armor can only protect the most critical chest and back, as well as the shoulders and the upper part of the thigh.
It is still far from the comprehensive protection that Song Xuan wanted, but it is indeed more than enough for now. Coupled with the shield in his hand, it is difficult for weapons of this era to penetrate these two layers of defense.
Although the effect is very good and everyone is very interested in it, these two items are only the first generation products after all. They will undergo a lot of optimization in the future, and there are only these few, so they cannot be left to everyone to play with, especially people. Everyone wants to hit them with an ax a few times to test the defensive power of these things.
So Song Xuan quickly took back the shield and vine armor and showed them to everyone. If they were damaged, Shi Ban would probably have to feel distressed for a long time. He spent many days and nights with these things. God, the things we just made, especially the rattan armor, are not easy to weave.
Although some people also have WeChat, Song Xuan's purpose has been achieved. First, to arouse everyone's interest, and secondly, to actually experience whether this thing is in line with everyone's usage habits. If you make something, if it is not easy to use, then It's definitely not good either.
At any rate, after seeing its power, everyone no longer showed any distrust as before. Instead, everyone became more interested. Seeing Song Xuan put them back into the house, some of them seemed a little disappointed.
Although there will definitely be some discomfort after wearing it, especially the rattan armor, which is so hard that it will definitely be very uncomfortable if there are no clothes underneath.
But the defensive power it brings allows everyone to ignore these shortcomings. Rather than being bruised by vine armor, it is better than being solidly hit by an axe.
When it comes to actual fighting, the goal is to kill the enemy in one fell swoop, so every one of them uses their utmost strength to strike, basically hitting whichever section they hit, and breaking whatever they hit.
Even if you are not beaten to death at once, it is difficult to resist in a short period of time, but if you hold a shield and wear this vine armor, it is completely different. Even if you take a few axes, you can still fight back. , as long as the strength gap is not crushing, everyone is confident that they can defeat the enemy.
So a group of big men surrounded Shi Ban eagerly, pretending to be pitiful and said:
"Ban~ You must make it quickly~"
"..."
Song Xuan got goosebumps when he saw a group of big men pretending to be pitiful, and quickly left. If he looked at them for a while longer, he would probably vomit out his lunch in disgust.
However, the system of rattan armor is not easy. Even if you become proficient in it later, it will probably take several days to make a set. In addition, you have to make animal skins, so the time will definitely not be short.
Moreover, everyone's body shape is different, but tailoring it would definitely be too time-consuming, so we have to come up with a few one-size-fits-all sizes. After feeling uncomfortable, Shi Ban lined up everyone according to size, and asked a few I have a relatively average body shape and took some measurements.
Fortunately, due to year-round hunting and better nutrition, although there are differences in height among the tribes, the differences in body shape are not very big. There are no particularly fat or extremely thin people.
Most people have no problem wearing the rattan armor now made, and the orange armor can be slightly adjusted according to each person's fatness or thinness, that is, the animal skins on both sides can be tied loosely or tightly.
So the main thing to pay attention to is length. Although most people are about 1.6 meters, there are also a little bit taller. For example, Shi Meng and Shi Yu are obviously taller than everyone else. They are about 1.72 meters, almost as tall as Song Dynasty. Not too much difference.
The shorter ones are only about 1.5 meters each. If they are forced to wear Shi Yu's armor, it will definitely affect their movements. Therefore, there must be some distinction. Moreover, the production of rattan armor is not only used by Shi Meng and others. The women in the tribe must also be prepared. After all, in this era, all the people are soldiers. Once there is a war, everyone will take part. There is still a big difference between men and women.
