If you really want to find an analogy for armor of such thickness, it can only be the tanks of later generations.
Because the front armor of a tank is generally only 80mm to 100mm, even the Tiger tank, which is famous for its defensive power, has a front armor thickness of only 150mm.
It is only because of the continuous updating of materials science and related designs in later generations that the defensive power of this composite armor has reached the level equivalent to 1000mm of homogeneous rolled steel plate armor.
But this is talking about the King of Land War tanks, not personal equipment that has reached this thickness.
If you want to penetrate such thick armor, in the real world, you usually have to use heavy artillery.
Ordinary guns have almost no effect on such a thick steel plate. Even a Bartley sniper rifle can only penetrate a 22mm steel plate within fifty meters. After that, no matter how close, the thickened steel plate can penetrate This will cause the sniper bullet to shatter, while the steel plate will just dent.
The actual thickness of the current batch of etched shield armors in the Han Dynasty is more than 50mm, and it may reach 60~70mm when they dodge and deflect. What level of defense is this?
"From the current point of view, there is no need to expect any talent to penetrate this thing, and the three-edged stabbing sword cannot penetrate it." Although Zhu Jun was quite proud when using this equipment, when he talked about it with Cao Cao and Chen Gong, When I was a child, I had a somewhat silent expression.
After all, Chen Xi's existence has really destroyed the general's understanding of equipment to a certain extent.
You must know that before the shield guards came out, the three-edged sword could destroy almost all the heavy infantry at that time, and it was called the top destructive weapon.
However, as the top weapon, the three-edged sword really did its best when facing the shield guard.
With the blessing of some special talents, something like a three-edged stabbing sword can even penetrate a 15mm~20mm steel plate in the hands of a dual-talented veteran, which is the power of striking Bartley to the face with bare hands under the cloud. You must know such power It’s enough to blow up people in the real world.
But is it useful against a fully armored shield guard? It's completely useless.
The ordinary one-attack and one-defense talent structure, the dual-talented super elite who uses the triangular stabbing sword as a weapon, can stab directly from the front and can easily penetrate 40 plate armor. For most dual-talented heavy infantry before the shield guard era, this is already It's a crushing level of lethality.
This is 40 pounds of full-body armor. It was already among the absolute top armors in the Han Dynasty.
Think about it, the annual steel production in the Han Dynasty was only 10,000 tons, and your full-body armor weighed 20 kilograms. If you really want to say it, it already accounted for 0.002‰ of the country's annual steel production. What level is this!
If you look at China's steel production of one billion tons a year, it is equivalent to having two hundred tons of steel. If you convert it into armaments, if you convert all armor into tanks, two hundred tons of steel are converted into 99A tanks, which is equivalent to four tanks. tank.
If you think about it from this perspective, the ancient saying that "one armor carries three crossbows, and three armors go to the underworld" actually makes sense.
The same logic can be used to prove that although it is outrageous that Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty wanted to trouble Zhou Yafu, it is also understandable. Even if the 500 armor shields Zhou Yafu secretly hid were not the top-notch goods mentioned above, compared with the steel output of the Han Dynasty, it was still only a few army tanks. Arms and equipment, happy~
But this kind of weapon that can kill all the conventional heavy armored infantry before the shield guard is a waste for the shield guard. Let me stand and let you try it. Without defensive etching, the steel plate thickness is 40mm, and with defensive etching, it is 52mm thick. The total thickness of heavy armor defense and defensive etching is 72mm. Humans naturally dodge. The best defense posture is 45° in the optimal parrying form. 100+mm...
Just shave it, whatever you want.
As of now, not only Huangfusong has despaired of how to defeat the heavy armor defensive shield guard of the same level with dual talents, Zhu Jun also has no hope.
"How do you feel?" Zhu Jun looked at Chen Gong and said with a complicated attitude, "What kind of talent structure do you think Guishang needs to develop to break through such a defense?"
"I think Zichuan is a bit extreme to a certain extent." After Chen Gong listened to Zhu Jun's introduction and understood the heavy armor defense equipment, when he parried correctly, he directly obtained 100mm+ real The thickness of the steel plate directly gave up the previous topic.
It’s already so thick. Whatever secret attack skills Guishuang studies, he has to succumb to the steel plate. Even if you can directly adopt an elite talent structure and add 50% piercing, you can’t penetrate it with a three-edged stabbing sword.
"This is why compared with adaptive talents, heavy armor talents are not worth mentioning, but the reason why heavy armor talents are so popular now." Zhu Jun said with a sigh.
What is the purpose of mastering an adaptive talent? Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun may be able to find countless reasons, such as increasing basic strength and improving potential. But for ordinary soldiers, it is simple. I master the adaptive talent. For wearing heavy armor!
Heavier, thicker, and more awesome armor!
If you have any dissatisfaction with this, you can ask Jiang Guang, Jiang Yu and other heavy fortress enthusiasts. If you can only choose one of fully equipped weapons and heavy fortress to walk across the street, which one would you choose? These people will tell you. Do you still have to choose? Of course it’s the heavy fortress!
Any improvement in basic strength or development of potential is all nonsense. Full plate armor is really safe and domineering. Normal adaptive development to the limit of one talent is equivalent to the weight of the armor's own weight. This level of armor is very powerful. There is a sense of security, but there is no shortage of enemies in the Empire War that can penetrate this kind of armor. In this case, continuing to improve the adaptive and heavy armor talents will appear in front of you.
The former means a greater future and more powerful basic strength, but now ordinary shield guard soldiers basically use their feet to cast heavy armor defense after reaching dual talents.
The 50% concept thickness bonus is self-evident to soldiers on the front line. It is true that adaptive talents have a more promising future, but without the present, talking about the future is pure nonsense.
So much so that the heavy armor talent, which was obviously useless in the past and has little room for growth now, is a talent that many shield guards like very much.
After all, compared to talents such as adaptive, which take eight or nine years to complete, heavy armor defense talents, even if you have rubbish qualifications, are limited by the fact that shield guards are beaten every day, and the unlucky guy can only get it in four or five years. master.
As an ordinary first-level smelting entry-level guard with adaptive talents, heavy armor defense talents, and a heavy armor defense talent, how should we normally solve it?
It has the same configuration as the armor above, but because it is a first-level smelted Praetorian Guard, it once again has a heavy armor defense talent with little growth ability. The original 40mm frontal armor has a real thickness of 30% added to the etching.
, plus 50% of the defense of two heavy armors, the total thickness exceeds 92mm, not counting the tilt caused by human beings' own dodges and parries during combat.
Please tell me, what level of opponent would it take to penetrate such a thick physical defense?
Those with talents below three and no will strike type can only scrape against this kind of legion, and warriors with less than fifteen cuts can only break their swords on the spot when facing this kind of thing.
This is why heavy armor defense has no growth potential, and there is no quality improvement or potential improvement. However, with the popularity of shield guards, this thing has actually become one of the mainstream talents.
Is it because it is highly adaptive? No.
Simply because the ultra-thick steel plate can bring extraordinary trust to people!
You must know that even the Tiger Guards are now taking the heavy armor defense route. This shows how amazing this talent is when combined with adaptive and shield plate armor.
Growth? Taking this seemingly stupid path, as long as there is strong national support, you can reach the T1 level with a little effort. In this case, what kind of growth is needed?
From T0.5 to T0, it all depends on talent. If you don’t have this talent, wouldn’t it be better to just mess around and become a version of T1? You have to be a fantasy god. Everyone can be a fantasy god? What are you thinking?
Woolen cloth!
Of course those with extraordinary talents will follow their own path, but if you don’t have the talent, it’s also a way to go the Duijia route. For a 200-heavy-armored Guardsman, if you take this route and gain 460 armor defense, what else do you need?
It’s up to you to decide whether it’s a messy chore or not!
"Indeed, growth is only for those who are qualified." Chen Gong had a deep look on his face after listening to Zhu Jun's explanation. Taking this path, apart from the shortcomings in will defense, there are basically challenges in other aspects.
Without a thorn, it is really fast and strong.
"This is the only reliable quick-service Imperial Guard route at present. It is stable and has a high survival rate." Zhu Jun said with sadness. Even the veteran who used to privately complain that the original Shield Guard was the right path has not been able to do so now.
We have to recognize the reality.
There was nothing he could do. After taking muscle-building injections and a lot of food supplements, and reaching the level of 180 armor as a regular shield guard, Zhu Jun was no longer able to continue to argue that the previous shield guards were better and more correct.
Because the conventional 180-armor shield guard, after such a journey, three to five years later, it is also a super defensive unit wearing 70+mm heavy armor.
Even Jiang Guang, the peak shield guard in history boasted by Zhu Jun, has 70% of various damage resistance and reduction, but he has to be defeated by the normal steel plate defense of 70mm+.
"Actually, if there is another force to offload, this legion will reach its limit in terms of physical defense. Of course, if there is another will defense, even the Miracle Legion will be killed." When Zhu Jun said this
, it is really difficult to have both the kind of pride that is far from being honored, and the feeling of being eliminated by the times.
Chen Gong rehearsed in his mind how tens of thousands of shield guards, whose normal defense would be 100mm+ steel plate thickness, would besiege a legion. To be honest, Chen Gong's mind was boiling. This was really a beast.
"Does it feel very outrageous?" Zhu Jun looked at Cao Cao and asked.
"At present, it seems that even with extreme dual talents, it is impossible to control this entry-level imperial guard, right?" Cao Cao looked at Zhu Jun with deep eyes and asked.
"There is no hope. It is possible to fight with other legions through interspersed and explosive attacks, and the rhythm of the fight is different. The shield guard's fighting method will not leave the slightest leeway to the opponent." Zhu Jun sighed lightly, "The ultimate dual talent is strong, it is indeed It is very strong, because the explosive power of dual talents is extremely terrifying, and the talent overflow caused by the ultimate has been corrected in all aspects, but against this kind of imperial guard..."
If you don't break the defense, what's there to fight for?
The best thing about the ultimate dual talent is the momentum. After entering the positive cycle, the more you fight, the stronger you become. Because the dual talent is not bound, the talent limit rises, you can continue to improve, and finally crush everything in front of you.
However, there is a requirement for this: the more you play, the better your state will be. But if you don't break the defense at the beginning, the mentality of a dual-talented army will not be maintained.
"If before Kushan developed defensive etching, the ultimate dual talent route of the extinct Parthian Empire was the current optimal route, then when we obtained defensive etching and Chen Zichuan moved this thing to the assembly line, the optimal route The route is back again." Zhu Jun said with a complex attitude, "After staying next to Chen Zichuan for a long time, there is always a feeling that 'the times are disobedient, just beat them a few more times, and the times will turn around on their own.'"
"Is that a turnaround?" Cao Cao asked in a rare tone.
"Breaking the leg and then reattaching it can be regarded as a twist." Chen Gong said helplessly, "This is a true portrayal of how no matter how clever you are, you will never be able to defeat the fate of the day."
"So you took refuge with Chen Zichuan early?" Cao Cao suddenly turned to Chen Gong and asked.
Chen Gong was stunned. After confirming that he had perfected the special shackles, the spiritual realm and the holy Buddha Cao Cao still maintained a relationship, and the AI Cao Cao was still running, his mentality became slightly more stable.
[Did I make it too real? I almost thought Meng De had woken up. His tone and expression at that moment, ah, it was really Meng De. My method was correct!] Before Chen Gong opened his mouth to answer, A quick test was carried out, and because of such a rhetorical question, Cao Cao, who was originally just a simulation, instantly became countless times more vivid to Chen Gong.
After all, Chen Gong knew better than anyone in his heart that Cao Cao really could not wake up. The Cao Cao standing in front of him now only shared his spiritual thoughts with the original Cao Cao, and the spiritual enlightenment wisdom of the demon master Perennis. The advanced artificial intelligence Cao Cao is formed by combining Xu Yue's AI algorithm and Chen Gong's comprehensive understanding of Cao Cao.
Of course, due to Chen Gong's sharing of Civic, to a certain extent, Chen Gong can now be regarded as Supreme Cao Cao. But because of this, Chen Gong has a somewhat complicated mentality towards the now awakened Cao Cao. But with that rhetorical question, Chen Gong Suddenly such a great idea came to me.
The form of Cao Cao and the god of Cao Cao are all here, but there is another optimized set of Cao Cao's thinking running inside. If you take into account the reality that people can change, this is Cao Cao.
Yes, this is Cao Cao, and he is still willing to listen to my advice, Chen Gong.
After thinking about this, Chen Gong looked unusually calm and chuckled and replied: "Since Chen Zichuan is the number of heaven, then what's wrong with us, mediocre people standing in the world, following the number of heaven?"
Zhu Jun feels that this scene is more and more strange. Fa Xiaozhi, please come and take a look!
Sigh, the first app recommended this year is the one I picked in the lottery. I’m really impressed. Read the book~
