Li Mu's faint words sounded in the small attic. The rough man's movements paused, and the old man with gray temples on the small balcony also turned his head at this time, and his eyes met Li Mu's.
"Do you know how to make armor from the Mid-Tang Dynasty?" the rough and arrogant man asked doubtfully, while Li Mu shook his head helplessly.
"I don't know the specific manufacturing process, but I do know a bit about the process of armor-piercing plates. Isn't that what you were talking about just now?"
"What? Do you think that what the old man said is what it is? It turns out that you are a young boy who doesn't know anything about emotions. Go read your book and walk quickly."
Hearing this, the rugged man looked unhappy again. He originally thought that this young man knew the shape of Tang Dynasty armor, but now it seems that he is just a guy who knows a little bit about it.
He comes here to pretend to be serious with himself, he really thinks highly of himself.
Thinking like this, the rough man immediately started to chase the person away. Li Mu stared at the other person's still tough attitude. At that moment, he just sighed in his heart that he was really meddling in his own business, so he turned around and prepared to leave.
"This little friend, wait a minute."
At this moment, the older voice came from the balcony. The rough man and Li Mu paused for a moment. Li Mu turned his head and saw the old man with a kind face standing up and looking at him.
"Xiao Ma, put away your bad temper and stop judging people based on their age."
"Lao Du, do you really think that you are here to find a bosom friend? How can such a little brat, in his twenties, know anything?"
The strong man surnamed Ma said impatiently to the old man surnamed Du, but the other man didn't care at all and walked over directly.
Li Mu watched the other party walk up to him and nodded slightly.
"Du Lu, don't you know who this kid is?" the old man asked Li Mu.
"Li Mu, I was just passing by here and happened to hear you guys discussing this thing. I happen to like the armor of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to come and have a look. I apologize for any offense."
Li Mu knew that his move was quite impulsive. If he hadn't wanted to bring what he knew back to modern times, Li Mu wouldn't have come here.
"Ma Biao, the owner of this store."
The rugged man standing next to him also snorted coldly at this time, and reluctantly introduced himself to Li Mu.
Even if the three parties knew each other, Ma Biao no longer stopped Li Mu, and Du Lu immediately invited Li Mu to go to the balcony to see the Mingguang Armor, which he thought had the wrong armor-piercing method.
Li Mu walked to the balcony. On this tea seat, a pair of shining golden armor was placed on the table. He saw that the armor was woven with many armor pieces, and there were two big shining disks on the chest of the armor. It was almost like
This is the most obvious feature of Mingguang Armor.
"This armor is a restoration that my armor association was invited to make for a wealthy businessman. However, due to the control of military goods in the Tang Dynasty, it is rare to see such things among the funerary objects, so this armor is basically made by me.
The pony was restored according to the murals and sculptures in the Mogao Grottoes, but there are still discrepancies with the descriptions in many places and ancient books."
Du Lu stood in front of Li Mu and pointed at the armor on the table. Li Mu pointed at the armor and then turned to look at Du Lu.
"Of course you can take a look. These armor plates are actually made of iron and copper-plated. They are thicker and look better."
After receiving the other party's instruction, Li Mu bent down and picked up the armor, looking at the scales and long armor pieces on it. These armor pieces were put on in an orderly manner, and then he tied the edges tightly with leather and cotton cloth.
The colors of the fabrics are mostly blue, red and yellow, so they look very bright.
But after just flipping through it, Li Mu thought about Li Siye's armor and immediately discovered a problem.
"This is a Mingguang armor-style general's armor, right?" Li Mu turned to Du Lu and asked. Du Lu looked stern and then nodded. Ma Biao next to him was still impatient and said with cupped fists.
"Needless to say, we will spend a lot of effort to restore a soldier's armor?"
However, Li Mu ignored the other party and turned the armor plates on the belly of the armor from the inside, then pointed at the red rope on it and said: "The armor of the Tang Dynasty basically abandoned the armor-piercing form of Zha armor. The long armor plates
The number has also become very small, and it is only used on the waist and abdomen, and the rest of the places will be covered with fish scales."
"But the long armor plates you have here are made of a method similar to fish scale armor. The armor plates are stable up and down, but loose on the left and right sides, and they wear very much on the rope."
The reason why Li Mu knows this is because his mountain armor also has two types of armor. The protection under the helmet is made of long armor plates, and the armor all over the body is made of fish scale armor.
.
In fact, Li Mu couldn't help but be curious when he saw such gorgeous armor. He asked the people around him and some of the veterans thought it was what Li Mu wanted to know and told them. Li Mu actually had the right idea in his mind.
These things are very impressive.
Now Li Mu, it is no exaggeration to say that he is almost comparable to one or two armor masters in reality, because they do not have the memory of Li Mu who has seen real armor in their minds.
"Is the wrong method overused?"
Du Lu raised his eyebrows, but he immediately realized the problem and quickly lowered his head to observe. Ma Biao next to him also changed his expression at this time and stretched his head.
"Well, almost all armors are made by wrong methods. You can't see the armor-piercing method of armor. In fact, you can also refer to the armor-piercing methods of the Han Dynasty, because they are all inherited armor methods."
Li Mu didn't know the name of the fish scale armor method, but Du Lu gave him a step forward, and Li Mu naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
"This is our negligence, Xiao Ma, didn't you say that those experts were right? Such an obvious problem was not discovered."
Du Lu immediately turned his head and said to Ma Biao next to him. Ma Biao's face froze, he opened his mouth, but he turned his head and looked to the other side with some displeasure.
Li Mu didn't pay attention to this, he just turned the armor over again, and then even touched the shape on it with nostalgia.
"Have you found any problems?" Du Lu continued to ask Li Mu at this time, but Li Mu shook his head. In fact, this armor was quite different from the Mingguang Armor he had seen by Li Siye.
But Li Mu just came here to reminisce about this extraordinary memory, and there was no need to say too much.
"The other problems are pretty much the same. It doesn't matter if they don't change it. It's just that the abdominal armor is wrong. It needs to be completely dismantled and redone."
"This is not a matter, just let Xiao Ma finish it."
"Damn it, Lao Du, don't throw all your problems at me. Workers have been polishing such a piece of armor for several months, and more than twenty people have participated in the production. It only took three days to wear these pieces of armor, and there are still more
Disassembled and reinstalled? I don’t have such a big face.”
Ma Biao said reluctantly, but Du Lu snorted coldly.
"I still have the nerve to say that I am an armor enthusiast. You took care of this all at the beginning, so you have to finish it well."
"It was then, and now is now, forget it. Anyway, now I just think this general is useless." Ma Biao pouted and said, but he saw Li Mu standing aside suddenly.
Li Mu turned around, looked at Ma Biao, and asked calmly: "Brother Ma, why do you think this deputy general's armor is useless?"
Ma Biao was stopped by what Li Mu suddenly said. He looked at Du Luzheng glaring at him. At that moment, he felt very unhappy about being humiliated by a child, so he said bravely.
"This Mingguang Armor has two large bronze mirrors on the chest. The whole body is so brightly colored that it is a living target on the battlefield. Moreover, the protective power of this armor is not as good as the Song Dynasty's infantry armor. If the enemy notices it, a few shots
A bow and arrow can kill the person wearing this armor."
"The generals are dead, so why fight?"
Ma Biao said forcefully, but he saw Li Mu, a young man, with a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely deep.
"Xiao Ma, okay, it will be very rude if you say that again." Du Lu also spoke quickly at this time and explained to Li Mu next to him.
"Little friend Li, don't be offended. This guy has a straight temper. We can still see the usefulness of general armor. This is a good armor."
"Uncle Du, Brother Ma is right, this armor is indeed a bit fancy but not useful."
At this moment, Li Mu suddenly spoke. After hearing this, Du Lu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. Ma Biao, who was standing next to him, also looked surprised at this moment.
Li Mu, however, didn't notice the expressions of the two people. He just stretched out his hand to touch the armor in front of him and said lightly.
"Actually, why didn't the generals on the ancient battlefields know this? From the Han Dynasty's Black Armor to the Mingguang Armor, the reason why the armor becomes brighter and brighter is not because the generals in charge don't want to live longer..."
When Li Mu said this, he glanced at Du Lu and Ma Biao.
"On that battlefield, the general is the backbone of every soldier's heart. A general wearing bright armor can make every soldier see clearly that his general is by his side."
"With their backbone by their side, their hearts will be full of courage. Even if the front is extremely dangerous, they will still dare to roar, wave their swords, and move forward bravely."
