Chapter 774 A Tangled Choice - Rattan Armor or Leather Armor (2 in 1)

The rattan armor in Han Cheng's hand was a bit heavy, weighing about twenty catties.

Han Cheng is not worried about this.

This is not because the people in the tribe are strong, and it is unbelievable to carry twenty catties, but because the rattan armor will become lighter after a period of time.

Such a miraculous change, of course, is not due to lame having a pair of miraculous hands, nor is it because Han Cheng has any superpowers, after all, he is not Balala the Little Demon Fairy.

The reason for this is very simple, that is, the freshly baked rattan armor is woven with wet tree strips, and after a period of time, without moisture, it will naturally become lighter.

Well, this is an explanation that just like freshly boiled water should never be drunk directly, it needs to be left for a period of time before drinking, which seems to be a bit of an explanation that wants to be beaten.

After holding the rattan armor and looking at it for a while, Han Cheng began to put the rattan armor on his body.

Rattan armor is so hard that it doesn't have the slightest elasticity, so of course it's not easy to put it on your body.

However, this situation has been considered by Han Cheng as early as when he drew the picture, and the situation of not being able to wear it will naturally not happen.

Below the shoulders of the rattan armor, corresponding to the position of the armpits, there are openings on both sides.

Han Cheng put the rattan armor on his body, his head came out of the hole in the rattan armor, and his arms protruded from the hole.

Then he limped over to help tie the leather ropes tied around the edges of the two openings to each other.

After a while, Han Cheng's upper body was completely covered by rattan armor.

At this time, Han Cheng looked a bit strange, and the rattan armor on his body looked a bit like a chicken cover for enclosing chickens.

However, the strange shape is strange, but Han Cheng can take it seriously, and he is also serious about feeling all kinds of rattan armor there.

The newly woven rattan armor has the green smell of rattan, and it is a bit heavy to wear on the body.

Han Cheng shook his head, stretched and curled his arms again, the edge of the vine armor was a little bit grinding on his neck and arms.

This is a normal situation, after all, the rattan armor is woven out of rattan.

After a while, get some sackcloth to wrap the edges well, and this problem will be perfectly solved.

Apart from this flaw, the rest of the place is pretty good.

Looking at the reflection in the water tank, Han Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

However, the matter of Zhuge Prime Minister burning the Tengjia Army always popped up in his mind from time to time.

Armor is not easy to put on when you put it on, and correspondingly, it is not easy to take off when you take it off.

Imagining that the thing he was wearing caught fire and turned into a human-shaped torch, Han Chengcheng couldn't help shivering.

This thing is really scary.

After worrying like this for a while, Han Cheng gradually let go of his uneasy heart.

Because this era is not the era of the Three Kingdoms War, and not all people like to set fire like Prime Minister Zhuge, and every fire is burned so accurately.

Moreover, in the future battles, even if any smart guy thought of using arson to deal with these rattan armored troops of his tribe, it would be impossible to achieve the terrifying effect that Prime Minister Zhuge wanted.

Because it is not easy for most tribes in this era to start a fire, and it takes a lot of effort. With this kind of time, it is basically enough for the tribe's army to make them feel comfortable.

Even if there are people from some tribes who can get out the fire in advance, it is not easy to burn the rattan armor army of their own tribe.

It is extremely difficult for them who don't know about rockets to throw the fire so far,

Moreover, people in this era basically have a strong sense of awe towards flames. Even if someone can think of a strategy like fire attack, it is very difficult to put it into action.

With these, coupled with Han Cheng's deliberate avoidance, the Qingque Tengjia Army will basically not follow in the footsteps of the Nanman Tengjia Army.

Han Cheng's rattan armor, which looked a little weird, jumped around for a while,

After mentioning a few uncomfortable areas that need to be improved, the next thing that needs to be verified is the defensive ability of the rattan armor.

After all, this is the most fundamental function of rattan armor, whether it looks good or not is a secondary matter.

Looking at the wooden gun that had been sharpened, burnt, and polished, Han Cheng wisely asked Lie to remove the rattan armor on his body.

He didn't have much courage to wear this kind of protective gear that was still in the experimental stage and directly experimented with it.

The reason why he was so cowardly was because he remembered a news that he had read in his later life.

It was a foreign friend who wore a bulletproof vest and shot himself in the stomach, but the bulletproof vest failed to stop the bullet, and then this guy went away.

After reading the news, apart from feeling deeply why there are so few foreigners, Han Cheng also had a new understanding of body armor.

With this news, at the beginning of the experiment, he would naturally not do it again.

After all, he has always attached great importance to his own life, and he has no idea of ​​relying on playing tricks to become famous.

The untied vine armor was put on a thick stump, and under Han Cheng's signal, he took the sharpened wooden spear and stabbed towards the vine armor...

While the rattan armor was shaking, he lamely retracted the wooden spear, and Han Cheng went up to check it.

Where it was stabbed by the wooden spear, some of the skin of the cane fell off, but there was no damage other than that.

Han Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and let Lie continue stabbing with the wooden spear.

After stabbing it ten times in a row, Han Cheng took the rattan armor off the stump and looked carefully.

After suffering a dozen or so attacks in a row, the front of the vine armor looked a little scarred.

But most of them were just the skin on the rattan being poked off, the real damage was not that big, only a relatively thin rattan was stabbed and broke in the middle.

This kind of defensive ability is already very good.

After seeing it, Han Cheng continued to hang it on the tree stump, and found the second senior brother who was strong, and asked him to hit it with a stone.

The second senior brother was always full of enthusiasm for the matter of throwing stones. After understanding what Han Cheng wanted him to do, he took the sling and started to do it.

Han Cheng quickly stopped him and asked him to attack the rattan armor with only the stone in his hand.

The second senior brother felt a little regretful that he couldn't use the sling, but soon became excited again.

As a person who likes throwing stones, you should not only like a little bit, but also like and master other methods of throwing stones.

Only in this way can we call it true love.

Looking at the second senior brother who seemed excited while holding the stone, Han Cheng couldn't help but quietly moved back.

He was worried that if he was too close to the rattan armor, the stone would rebound and hurt him after hitting the rattan armor later.

Just moved two steps, the second senior brother has already waved his arm, and the stone in his hand suddenly flew out.

As Han Cheng expected, the stone hit the rattan armor and bounced, but it didn't bounce too far.

Han Cheng didn't immediately go over to check the damage caused by the stone to the rattan armor, but motioned for the second senior brother to stand more than ten meters away and continue to smash the rattan armor with stones.

The second senior brother naturally has nothing to say about his hand, he can hit it every time after seven or eight shots.

Shouting to stop throwing, Han Cheng walked over to untie the rattan armor from the stake, and then checked.

With this wave of violent attacks by the second senior brother carrying stones, more traces were left on the rattan armor.

Not only did the skin fall off in many places, but also some relatively fine stone chips remained on some vines.

However, although the rattan armor looked particularly miserable, in fact, the second senior brother's vigorous attack this time did not break the defense of the rattan armor.

Even the damage done to the wooden post behind the rattan armor is not as serious as that caused by lame sticks.

This is mainly because stones are not sharp objects, rattan armor can easily block them, and sharpened wooden spears can gather power to one point, and sometimes, they can even go from the gap between the rattan Drill inside.

It is precisely because of this that when facing stones, the defense that rattan armor can exert is better.

The second senior brother is obviously not satisfied that the stone he threw only caused this level of damage to the rattan armor.

He easily untied the sling wrapped around his waist, beating his chest to show that he could use the sling to smash the vine armor to pieces.

Han Cheng stopped him with a smile.

The reason why the second senior brother was not allowed to use the sling was actually the same as that in the previous experiment, Han Cheng only let the lame use a sharpened wooden stick instead of the sharper bronze spear in the tribe.

The rattan armor is used to defend against the enemy. According to Han Cheng's current understanding of the outside tribes, like his own tribe, there are not many tribes with weapons such as slings and sharp spears. At this time, we will conduct experiments At this time, it is natural to increase from the level of combat power of the rest of the tribes.

After verifying that the normal level of attacks in this era can be effectively reduced, then they began to gradually increase the requirements, moving towards the standard of their own tribe's attack power.

Moreover, judging from the experience of making rattan shields before, after these rattan armors are dry, their defensive capabilities will be improved.

So at this time, Han Cheng naturally would not directly use the highest attack power of his tribe to conduct experiments.

After gaining a certain degree of understanding of the defensive power of the rattan armor through the attack test, Han Cheng began to let the senior brother, Shang and other people who came back from the planting try on the rattan armor that looked scarred, and then let them feel uncomfortable. Say it in a comfortable place.

He was on the side, taking a pen and paper to record it. These will be the areas that need to be improved after the lame besides defense.

Shang kept looking at the miserable-looking rattan armor, until he was convinced that he could kill the person wearing the rattan armor with the dagger in his hand, and he was somewhat relieved...

After getting the results of this experiment, Lie took the ravaged rattan armor and continued to work hard to improve it. Two days later, Bai Xuemei also got the leather armor out.

There is no shortage of leather and green bird tribes, but there are not many suitable for leather armor.

Han Cheng carefully searched his few memories about leather armor, and knew that the leather that is more suitable for leather armor is cowhide.

It's just that the largest animal in the tribe is a donkey, and there is no trace of a cow at all. Therefore, it is a bit difficult to make leather armor.

Because at the time of manufacture, in order to increase the defense ability, these bare boards need to be covered with two or three layers. This is a troublesome thing.

In fact, there are not no good leather suitable for making leather armor in the tribe. Most of the leather of the dead rhinoceros in the Tengshe tribe is still stored in the tribe.

However, before the technology of making armor in the tribe was not very mature, Han Cheng was not going to use the small amount of good leather.

He also thought about getting himself a set of rhinoceros armor when the time came, so of course he couldn't bear to waste it now.

Bai Xuemei's craftsmanship is still as good as ever. Although it is her first time making leather armor, and the tools and materials used are not very convenient, she still made the leather armor, and it still looks decent. , It looks much better than the rattan armor woven by lame.

After Han Cheng touched Bai Xuemei's head with his hands, he continued to conduct the defense experiment. The procedure was the same as when he was training rattan armor two days ago.

First the wooden gun, then the stone.

Seeing Shang holding a wooden spear and stabbing the leather armor she had worked so hard to make, Bai Xuemei's heart ached.

If Brother Cheng hadn't issued such an order, Bai Xuemei might have gone to fetch the leather armor on the tree stump right now.

After being stabbed by Shang's wooden spear, Han Cheng carefully checked the leather armor.

A lot of small holes were left on the leather armor, but because most of the leather armor is composed of three layers of leather, only the front two layers were pierced, and the back layer was still fine, so it cannot be said that it was pierced. Break the defense.

From this point of view, when faced with the assassination of a spear, the defensive power of the leather armor is better than that of the rattan armor.

After the wooden gun was tried, the next step was the stone.

Hearing the sound of 'duk-duk' made by the stone thrown by the second senior brother hitting the leather armor and hitting the wooden post behind, Han Cheng couldn't help but twitched.

From this voice, one can know how much pain a person wearing leather armor will suffer from an enemy stone attack.

It seems that in the face of blunt weapon attacks like stones, rattan armor has better defense than leather armor.

Because the rattan armor is hard, when it is attacked by a blunt weapon such as a stone, it will not be dented like the leather armor, and the power from the stone will be perfectly tilted to the person behind the leather armor.

After reaching such a conclusion, Han Cheng easily fell into the entanglement of making more rattan armor or more leather armor.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and it is not easy to make a choice.

After struggling like this until the evening, Han Chengcai finally made a decision.

This decision is to produce a batch of rattan armor first and equip them to the team.

Apart from the relatively low cost of rattan armor, there is another important reason for this choice.
