There are only two series of new medals, the War Bear Medal and the Phoenix Medal.
The War Bear Medal is mainly awarded to soldiers and frontline officers, and the Phoenix Medal is awarded to command personnel and non-military personnel who have made significant contributions to the kingdom.
In terms of main graphics, the War Bear uses the same white horned head as on the bank card. The image of the Phoenix Medal was painted separately by Wang Qi. Compared with the previous more abstract image, it is closer to the flying posture of the white pheasant.
The two basic patterns have different production methods depending on the level of the medal.
The lowest third-class medal is formed by notching grooves directly on the body with a diamond tool knife. All the lines are horizontal to each other, which is relatively abstract and looks like a shadow. A little further away, the shape of the border is used to distinguish the medal type.
The graphic of the second-class medal is made of silver relief, and is hand-engraved with 925 silver and heated and welded onto the body. Because this part is purely manual work, it can be said that each medal is different, which can increase the collection value a lot.
The first-class medal is inlaid with gold relief and inlaid with artificial gemstone particles to decorate the eyes, nose or tail feathers. Since the gold surface of the finished product needs to be polished, the entire process is very complicated. It takes a goldsmith ten days to make one that meets the requirements.
Of course, the medals have just started to be distributed, and it is impossible to distribute them all directly. Only a few sets of second-class medals and first-class medals have been made, and the samples are displayed in the palace area and the new city.
Wang Qi put a lot of thought into the medal system. It is not just a medal. It is useful to use tungsten alloy as the main body.
Although theoretically medals can block bullets with kinetic energy below a certain level, relying on such a big thing to block bullets really requires "a little bit of luck". Even if you block a spear, the success rate is not much higher. After a full-scale war, It would be nice to be able to save two people.
Its main function is still for tool application.
There is an opening on the edge of the medal body. If necessary, you can open the frame and take out the body for use, pry some gaps, and use it as a temporary knife.
The progress at the institute was interrupted by academic exchanges, and the enchanting of the second-class and first-class medals will be done later. It should be completed before the second-class medals are issued.
In terms of accessories, the ribbon is made of magic fabric purchased from other places at a high price. It is an enchanted silk fabric that can prevent fire. However, the ribbon does not have much fabric, so it is of little practical significance.
In order to meet the needs of some equipment worn on the battlefield, there is a replacement part on the back of the medal frame to match the brooch assembly.
This brooch is not an ordinary needle, but a huge button-like object with threads, almost as big as the medal body. After tightening, even if the clothes are torn, the medal will not necessarily fall off from the clothes. It can also be used as a hammer. Of course not as useful as a real hammer.
A small medal embodies the efforts of more than a dozen craftsmen from five factories. Even if we don't talk about its honorary value, it is definitely a rare and treasured collection in this era.
The first investiture ceremony did not attract much fanfare, so Wang Qi took Li Xiang to the military camp in the east of the city to hold it.
Not all members returned to the camp, and those who were outside were called back to collect medals. Two battalions in the camp were responsible for standing still and watching the ceremony.
Because of the height difference, Wang Qi didn't look very good when awarding medals to Sharp Blade. He only awarded medals to two legion commanders and the commander of the First Reconnaissance Company. The medals for the rest of them were all awarded and worn by the legion commanders.
There are still a lot of things waiting to be handed out after the investiture ceremony.
A group of people in the military retired due to disability or became martyrs, and their comrades took advantage of the rest period to do the work of reissuing medals.
The other group was those who had previously been awarded the Slate Medal but were in the City Guard system or had been transferred from the military to civilians. They were handed over to the City Guard and municipal departments for reissue.
After a lot of fuss, not many medals were issued, and there were more than 1,200 medals in total, one-third of which were collected by the families of the martyrs.
There are still more than 200 yuan that are not even distributed to family members. They have not been distributed at all. They should be put away first and we will build the martyrs' monument later.
Pretending is a human necessity, and Wang Qi agrees with this.
Although honor and vanity cannot be generalized, their essences are quite different. In the eyes of a group of people without medals, having a medal means being envied, jealous, and hated, which fully satisfies the need of pretending to be a medal winner.
Subsequently, a letter from the commander of the regiment stated that the overall enthusiasm of the garrison had increased after the award, and even daily training was more attentive.
It's a good thing, but you have to use the right amount of chicken blood, otherwise you'll rush forward to die in a situation of inevitable defeat. It's not just a matter of losing a few people. The sharp blades are full of martial virtue, so they need to be extra careful.
Medals have been issued, and the garrison has to adapt to new equipment during this round of rest, which is the anti-magic device that received technical support from the Redstone Magic Equipment Factory.
It only took a little more than a month from the time the order was placed to the first unit to be made. Then a few more units were ordered, two units were kept at the research institute to be studied, and the rest were transported to the camp in the east of the city.
The anti-magic devices made by magic equipment factories have nothing to do with reliability and ease of use.
Due to the temporary confidentiality of the technology, manual recharging is only one aspect, and there are defects in both function and structure.
The main function of the anti-magic device is to inhibit magic. According to the test results of the institute, it is achieved by interfering with natural magic power.
Interference without an essential understanding of magic particles is very casual. Take a third-level mage as an example. If he releases a third-level spell within the scope of action, the failure rate is close to 80%. However, if he switches to releasing a second-level spell, the failure rate is only Less than 40%.
The production rate is obviously directly related to the proficiency or the release time. The effect is quite obvious, but it is not very easy to use.
The existing little devils and fireball monsters have not been witnessed to release any other spells. They may only know this one spell for the rest of their lives. There is a high probability that they have muscle memory. It is necessary to try it on the front line to see if it has any effect.
The structural problems are more uncomfortable. It is relatively loose, has non-fixed parts, and the outer shell is made of wood.
Although the non-fixed parts are fixed to the shell with some wooden parts, can a wooden shell be trusted on the battlefield?
The average weight of the garrison's sharp-edged soldiers is about 150 kilograms due to their tails, and the lighter ones are no less than 140 kilograms. They include a breastplate, a helmet, leggings with metal plates, three magic modules and corresponding ammunition clips, a magic gun, Water, dried bean cakes, sugar packets, and other accompanying tools, the total weight of the package is around 215 kilograms.
Not to mention a wooden box with such a weight, a slightly thinner metal box will be severely deformed if it is touched while doing tactical actions or dodging.
But there is no way. The institute does not have personnel who are proficient in anti-magic, and it has to analyze it bit by bit. It cannot even come up with reliable suggestions for improvement in the short term.
When purchasing the second batch, the institute also mentioned to the magic equipment factory that they did not want wooden boxes, but the other party gave the reason that "the metal shell does not have enough magic-proof distance", so it had to do this for now.
However, as long as it can effectively restrict certain demons from releasing more advanced magic, it is not impossible to equip a batch of them for positional defense and build blocking camps.
Come on little by little.
Wang Qiwan still has many ideas. Unfortunately, industrial development cannot be achieved overnight. Once there are hundreds of manufacturers in different fields, they may be able to produce something good.
At present, we still rely more on plug-ins to improve the abilities of some soldiers and make up for the gap in close combat effectiveness.
