Chapter 1654 Cotton armor has been completed

With the equipment battalion, the production of cotton armor of the Zhejiang Army can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. Needless to say, the craftsmen of the equipment battalion, even the apprentices are much more skilled than the blacksmiths that the Zhejiang Army hired from nearby.

On the third day after the equipment battalion joined, one hundred sets of composite cotton armor had been made and assembled.

Master Liu Jinjiang specially asked Zhu Pingan to inspect and accept the 100 pieces of cotton armor that had been produced in advance.

"Assembled a hundred pieces of cotton armor so quickly, wouldn't the quality requirements be lowered for the sake of speed?"

Zhu Ping'an was pleasantly surprised, but asked worriedly.

"Please don't worry, my lord. Every piece of armor and every piece of armor has the exclusive mark of the craftsman, and the quality is absolutely no problem. We have also conducted preliminary verification, and the quality is absolutely no problem. They are all high-quality cotton armor."

Master Liu Jinjiang said that he is very confident about the quality of cotton armor, because they have already verified it initially.

"Okay! Take me to see your results." Zhu Pingan said happily.

"My lord, please follow me."

Master Liu Goldsmith led the way excitedly and couldn't wait to show their achievements. These days, their treatment in the Zhejiang Army is very high. The craftsmen enjoy the treatment of the battalion commander, and the apprentices enjoy the treatment of the sentry commander.

Many soldiers had opinions. Although the last time Zhu Pingan spoke to them, the opinions of the soldiers were much less, but there were still some.

Their craftsmen and apprentices all breathed a sigh of relief, wanting to make convincing results and speak with their results.

Zhu Ping'an followed Liu Jinjiang all the way, and when he arrived at the equipment camp, he saw a hundred pairs of assembled cotton armor put on a hundred straw men. Under the sunlight, a pair of cotton armor shined brightly, looking mighty and extraordinary.

Cotton armor does look more stylish and photogenic than iron armor!

The helmet is in the uniform style of the Ming army. It has a short pointed tip and a layer of red tassels under the tip. The front brim of the helmet is a protruding iron brim. The body is also made of cotton and iron. Under the helmet, there are ear protectors, neck protectors, and neck protectors, which cover a much larger area than the iron armor. It can be seen that the ear protectors, neck protectors, and neck protectors are all concealed with iron armor pieces, because there are copper nails all over them.

According to Zhu Pingan's design, the cotton armor is divided into seven parts: body armor, shawl, sleeves, front guard, left guard, armor skirt, and heart mirror.

The entire armor body is densely covered with copper nails, shining brightly in the sun, and looks very mighty.

The color of the whole cotton armor is black iron, which looks similar to the color of the cotton armor of the big brother played by Jet Li in the cast name certificate.

"That's right, it's exactly the same style as I imagined." Zhu Pingan stepped forward to touch the cotton armor, and was very satisfied with the style on the outside. As for the quality, Zhu Pingan turned his head and said to Liu Dadao who was following him, "Dadao, try the cotton armor." How about the armor's protection?"

"okay."

Liu Dadao grinned and drew out his waist knife. First, he swung his knife at the cotton armor vigorously with his normal strength.

To be honest, he has been curious about cotton armor for not a day or two. Ever since Zhu Pingan asked him to buy a large amount of cotton, he has been skeptical about the protective power of cotton armor made of cotton. Although the interlayer is lined with iron sheets, But the iron sheet is only so thick, a pair of iron armor can smelt the inner iron sheet of four or five pairs of cotton armor.

Two layers of compacted cotton, one layer lined with iron sheets, how much protection can this cotton armor have, Liu Dadao thinks that he can cut through the cotton armor with this knife.

Bang!

After a dull voice, Liu Dadao opened his mouth wide in surprise, and his eyes widened in disbelief. When he went down with the knife, he only left a knife mark on the cotton armor, not even cutting through the outermost cotton armor. None of the iron linings came into contact. Although I only used ordinary strength, but only left a knife mark, the protective power of this cotton armor is much higher than I imagined.

Zhu Pingan also stepped forward to watch, and touched the knife marks with his fingers. The knife marks were very shallow. In addition to the cotton armor itself, the defense power was not low, and there were dense copper nails on the cotton armor. Liu Dadao just hit two copper nails with his knife. , the copper nails assisted the cotton armor to share part of the chopping, so only a shallow knife mark was left.

"Da Dao, try with all your strength." Zhu Pingan said to Liu Dadao.

"Okay, son, you stand a little farther away." Liu Dadao nodded vigorously, asking Zhu Pingan to stand farther away so that he can use his full strength.

Zhu Ping'an was kind, and took a few steps back.

Liu Dadao shook his neck, making a crackling sound, then spit into the palm of his hand, rubbed his hands together, put his legs into a horse stance, took a deep breath, shouted loudly, and swung the knife at the cotton armor with all his strength.

Bang!

The sound was dull and mixed with the clash of gold and iron.

Liu Dadao opened his mouth even wider, his eyeballs almost popped out, and he looked at the cotton armor in front of him in disbelief. There was a deep knife mark on the cotton armor, which was much deeper than the knife mark just now, but that was all. This knife also failed to cut through the cotton armor, and even failed to cut out the inner lining iron sheet.

I know how much strength I have. With this knife, even a small tree in the mouth of a bowl can be cut off.

"The defense of this cotton armor is not much worse than that of iron armor." Liu Dadao exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.

"very good."

Zhu Pingan stepped forward to touch the knife mark again. The knife was much deeper, but the defense of the cotton armor was really good.

"Da Dao, try shooting an arrow at a distance of 20 steps." Zhu Pingan said to Liu Dadao, testing the defense of the cotton armor against bows and arrows.

Liu Dadao responded, took out a strong bow, stepped back twenty steps, and slowly drew the bowstring like a full moon.

Whoosh!

Quick and ruthless!

Liu Dadao was born in Orion, and his arrow skills are extremely good. After letting go of his hand, the feathered arrow flashed past like a shooting star, and hit the cotton armor with a "boom".

Then.

fell down with a clatter.

Zhu Ping'an and others stepped forward to check, and saw a small hole in the cotton armor. They fiddled with it with their hands, revealing the inner lining iron sheet, which is only slightly concave.

"My lord, I didn't expect that the cotton armor's defense is so strong. I'm not bragging. I can easily shoot through the leather armor at a distance of twenty steps. The defense of the cotton armor is far superior to that of the leather armor, and it is almost no less than the iron armor. "

Liu Dadao exclaimed.

Zhu Ping'an nodded, and then said, "Try the firecracker again."

Liu Dadao fetched a gunpowder, took out a small oil-paper-wrapped ammunition from the ammunition jug, bit an opening with his mouth, poured the gunpowder into the gunpowder pool, and then closed the lid, then stepped back twenty steps, and lit it with a fire pocket. Hold the kindling rope, place the kindling rope on the matchlock clip, aim at the cotton armor in the distance, and press the trigger.

"boom!"

A shot was fired, accompanied by gunpowder smoke, and the cotton armor in the distance was shot, and the scarecrows in the cotton armor were beaten backwards.

Zhu Pingan and others stepped forward to check. Liu Dadao took a deep breath and saw a projectile stuck on the cotton armor. He poked the projectile away with a dagger and found that the first layer of cotton had been broken and the iron sheet was deeply dented. The inner cotton armor is intact.

"Hey, the defensive power of this cotton armor is unbelievable. It can defend against the firecrackers at a distance of twenty steps. Even the iron armor will be broken by the firecrackers. This cotton armor's defense against firecrackers is much higher than the iron armor. "

Liu Dadao took a breath and exclaimed.
