Xu Yunyan quickly followed Norton and Maimaiti into the tent. As soon as he entered, he saw a shelf covered with red cloth.
Seeing that the items on the shelf were only slightly exposed under the red cloth, Xu Yunyan looked at Norton and Maimaiti with a smile.
"Is this the armor made by you two?" Xu Yunyan looked at the worried expressions of Norton and Maimaiti, and Xu Yunyan chuckled.
"What do you have to worry about? This is my first time making armor. Although I just had an idea, but you have already made it before I started it. This is quite good. What do you have to worry about? "As soon as Xu Yunyan spoke, he stepped forward and lifted up the red cloth to see what was under the cloth.
But before they got started, Norton and Maimaiti were already holding Xu Yunyan's hands and trembling.
"Sir, why don't you give us a little more time to revise it properly?"
"Oh, what happened to you again?" Xu Yunyan looked at Norton and Maimaiti with confusion, wondering what they were thinking and why they had to wait.
Norton and Maimaiti were even more frightened when they saw Xu Yunyan like this, and didn't know what to say.
Just when the two of them were thinking about what excuses they could use to stop Xu Yunyan from taking a look at the armor they made and give them some time to make the armor again, Xu Yunyan suddenly broke away from Norton and Maimaiti's restraints, he stepped forward and opened the red cloth in front of him.
After the cloth was lifted, a set of very simple armor appeared in front of Xu Yunyan. Looking at the armor that looked like two pieces of paper stacked together, Xu Yunyan laughed.
"I didn't expect that you two thought so comprehensively. What you made is the simplest two-crotch armor. This is also a good armor." Xu Yunyan said that he knew this armor and even himself was curious. How did I know these things? Woolen cloth?
But while Xu Yunyan was speaking, Norton and Maimaiti looked at each other.
"It turns out that the general knows that such armor can still be used. It turns out that we worried too much. I originally thought that such armor was too trivial." But just as they were talking, Xu Yunyan stepped forward and tried on the armor.
"The weight is quite light, but the thickness is quite sufficient. Have you added any materials to it as I said?"
"Added it, didn't the general tell me? Use straw to increase its strength. Don't melt it when it comes into contact with water." Maimaiti didn't speak, and Norton hurriedly spoke in front of Xu Yunyan.
"General, we also painted a layer of mud on the surface of the armor we made. It should be fireproof." Xu Yunyan nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, very good. The armor you made is fine. It would be perfect if there was a little more curvature here." Xu Yunyan demonstrated to them as he spoke. At this moment, Norton and Maimaiti's eyes lit up. .
yes. What a great way to have a curvature! They had always felt that the armor they made was too rigid. It turned out to be boxy without any curvature.
The two of them looked at Xu Yunyan and asked after they had an idea.
"General, when we make armor next time, how about adding some curvature here?" Xu Yunyan said an improvement method, and then Xu Yunyan looked at them again.
"Not only do you need to add some curvature here, but you also need to make shoulder pads, arm pads and leg pads. These things cannot be so boxy. They must be made with curvature, otherwise you will feel that they are four-dimensional. It’s square, is it comfortable to carry by yourself? And you can make half of it and save materials.”
"Make it half?" This sudden statement of half made Norton and Maimaiti very unclear about what it meant. Xu Yunyan immediately gestured in front of them to make half of the armor, and then Put a rope on it, and you can tie it to your arms and legs to make the arm guards you require.
"Is that so? The general is indeed a general, and I admire his quick thinking." Norton hurriedly complimented Xu Yunyan from the side, while Maimaiti also looked at Xu Yunyan scratching his head and giggling behind Norton.
"The general is worthy of being a general. He thinks properly. It would be great if I had the ability of the general. I can think everything clearly. I no longer need to make armor that looks like a joke. Instead, I can make Come up with armor that the general is satisfied with." But just as Norton looked at Maimaiti and nodded, Maimaiti also looked at Xu Yunyan and asked for instructions.
"Then I wonder what else you should pay attention to when making armor, General?"
"Yes." Xu Yunyan said immediately
"You can paint this armor with some other colors instead of this yellow color. It will be easy to be found in some specific places." But Xu Yunyan scratched his head as soon as he finished speaking.
"But this color seems to be very suitable for Black Clothes Dashi. Many places outside the city are wilderness, and the color of the wilderness is the color of this armor. We also do this to make it easier for our soldiers to hide." Norton and Maimaiti were there Xu Yunyan carefully spoke his opinions in front of him, while Norton and Maimaiti also looked at Xu Yunyan and started talking.
"This is simple. We can prepare more dye and apply different colors at different times."
"This is a great word!" Maimaiti once again said a wise saying that surprised him. Xu Yunyan was very satisfied when he saw Maimaiti, and Norton did not disappoint Xu Yunyan.
"Are we looking for a place to test the performance of this armor? We can't just make an appearance without knowing its strength and defense."
"Very good." As soon as Norton finished speaking, Xu Yunyan nodded immediately.
"Knowing yourself and your enemy is the most important thing. Now that the armor has been made, of course we need to find a place to try it out and see how the armor's defensive function is?" As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Norton hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the paper armor. He was about to go out, but Xu Yunyan shook his head.
"There's no need to go out." Now Norton became curious.
"If we don't go out, where can we try it? Do we have to do it in this camp?" As soon as Norton finished speaking, Maimaiti looked at him as if he was an idiot.
"The general is in front of us. Of course it is most appropriate for the general to do the test. Do we have to do the test? This is very inappropriate." Xu Yunyan looked at the two people
"You are all flatterers. I am conducting experiments in this camp to prevent outsiders from discovering the armor. Don't you want to experiment? Then let's test the sword first in this camp." Xu Yunyan had already found the time to speak. He took the sword from his waist and slashed at the armor on the shelf.
Although Xu Yunyan's weapon is not a sword that can cut through iron like clay, it can be a sword that is worn by the black-clothed barbarian in the military camp. It is as sharp as the weapons of the nomadic aliens on the grassland.
After the knife struck the armor and cut half of it open, Xu Yunyan nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, this can prevent knife attacks." Now Norton and Maimaiti were happy.
"As long as it's useful." Xu Yunyan suddenly took a step back while they were talking, picked up a spear and a carbine from the side of the tent, and immediately inserted them into his armor.
But this time the spear pierced the armor a little bit, of course it penetrated a little bit. Seeing this, Xu Yunyan looked at Norton and Maimaiti.
"It seems that our armor needs to be thicker, not too much. Twenty layers of paper should be enough." Xu Yunyan expressed his opinion, and Norton and Maimaiti hurriedly followed Xu Yunyan's request. Recording, while Xu Yunyan looked at the two of them and waved hurriedly.
"Don't record it for now. There is one more experiment. We haven't tested the effect of the crossbow yet." As Wu Xu Yunyan spoke, he picked up the bow and arrow from the weapon rack next to him and prepared to fire an arrow at the armor.
But this time, Norton and Maimaiti were shocked.
"General, is such a close distance a bit too much?" Xu Yunyan shook his head at this.
"Such a close distance is the most suitable. If we can defend against bows and arrows at such a close distance, then our armor has been successfully made." After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, Norton and Maimaiti walked aside a little timidly. He was talking as he walked.
"We don't want the arrows to bounce back and hurt us when we release them." Xu Yunyan looked at the two of them.
"Do you think your armor is so strong? I almost pierced it with my spear just now. This bow and arrow should be about the same, right?" Xu Yunyan said this and pulled the bow and arrow hard, and then pointed it at the armor He shot it up, but although the bow and arrow were powerful, it did not penetrate the armor after it was shot out. Instead, it stuck into the armor like a nail.
Seeing how defensive the armor was, Xu Yunyan was a little stunned.
"It shouldn't be. Bows and arrows can't pierce, spears can pierce, but swords can cut a little. This doesn't make sense!" Just as Xu Yunyan touched his chin, he didn't know what was going on, and whether there was something wrong with him. When they missed the calculation, Norton and Maimaiti were relieved.
"General, we have added different fibers to each layer of this armor. It just so happens that the place where you shot is where there is a lot of straw." Hearing this, Xu Yunyan suddenly realized.
"So that's it! Then it seems that it is necessary to add a little more orange stalks to the armor. Of course, you have to crush the straw, but don't add intact straw."
"Don't worry, General. We all processed the straw as you said. How could we add it completely? We must have soaked it until soft and then peeled it off layer by layer." Maimaiti wanted to show off in front of Xu Yunyan. Showing off his abilities, Xu Yunyan looked at him.
"We will study this later. Now that we know the capabilities of this armor, you have to make enough armor for all of us in the shortest possible time." Maimaiti was a little surprised at this time.
"General, half of us have armor!" Xu Yunyan looked at him and smiled.
"Will this armor not be damaged? Will you still wear it after it is damaged? It can be worn after repairing it, but can it be worn if it cannot be repaired?" Before Maimaiti argued with Xu Yunyan, Xu Yunyan had already put it on He thought of all his excuses, and Maimaiti also knew what Xu Yunyan meant, and looked at General Xu Yunyan and said.
"Don't worry, General, I will do my best to make enough armor for our soldiers." Norton also echoed beside him.
"I can also help." Xu Yunyan looked at the two of them and said seriously.
"I ask you not to cut corners in order to speed up the armor you make. You must ensure that the quality of each set of armor meets the requirements. If the quality of one set of armor does not meet the requirements, then after I find out, this will be yours. Armor, you will wear this armor when charging into battle from now on, it is up to you whether you live or die."
