Chapter 774 The tangled choice - rattan armor or leather armor (two in one)
The rattan armor in Han Cheng's hand is a bit heavy, weighing almost twenty kilograms.
Han Cheng was not worried about this.
This is not because the people in the tribe are so strong that they can still be unbelievably strong even if they carry twenty kilograms of weight, but because the vine armor will become lighter after a while.
The reason for such a magical change is of course not that Lame has a pair of magical hands, nor that Han Cheng has any abilities. After all, he is not the little demon fairy Balala.
The reason for this is very simple, that is, this freshly made rattan armor, which looks a bit crude now, is woven with wet tree strips. After a period of time, without moisture, it will naturally become lighter.
Well, this is an explanation that is just like never drinking freshly boiled boiled water directly, it needs to be left for a while before drinking.
After Han Cheng held the rattan armor and looked at it for a while, he began to put the rattan armor on his body.
Of course, something like rattan armor, which is so hard that it has no elasticity, is not easy to wear on your body.
However, Han Cheng had already considered this situation when he was drawing the picture, and the situation of not being able to put it on would naturally not happen.
Under the cane armor's shoulders, corresponding to the armpits, there are openings on both sides.
Han Cheng put the rattan armor on his body, drilled his head through the holes in the rattan armor, and stretched out his two arms from the holes.
Then he came over to help tie the leather ropes tied to the edges of the two openings together.
After a while, Han Cheng's upper body was completely covered by the vine armor.
At this time, Han Cheng looked a little strange. The rattan armor on his body looked a bit like a chicken mask used to trap chickens.
However, the shape was strange, but Han Cheng was able to take it seriously, and he felt the various aspects of this rattan armor seriously.
The newly woven rattan armor has the green smell of rattan and is a bit heavy to wear on the body.
Han Cheng shook his head and stretched and curled his arms again. The edges of the rattan armor were a bit scratching on his neck and arms.
This is normal, after all, the rattan armor is woven from rattan.
After waiting, get some linen cloth and wrap the edges well, and this problem will be solved perfectly.
Apart from this problem, the rest of the place is pretty good.
Looking at the reflection in the water tank, Han Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
However, the incident of Prime Minister Zhuge burning the Tengjia Army always appeared in his mind from time to time.
Armor is something that is not easy to put on, and accordingly, it is not easy to take off when it is time to take it off.
When he imagined that the thing he was wearing caught fire and turned into a human-shaped torch, Han Chenggong couldn't help but shudder.
This thing is really scary.
After worrying for a while, Han Cheng gradually let go of his uneasy heart.
Because this era is not the era of the Three Kingdoms Conquest, and not all people like to set fires like Prime Minister Zhuge, and burn every fire as accurately.
Moreover, in the future battles, even if a smart guy thinks of using arson to deal with these rattan armies of his tribe, it will be impossible to achieve the terrifying effect that Prime Minister Zhuge had.
Because it is not easy for most tribes in this era to light a fire, and it takes a lot of effort. With this time, it is basically enough for the tribe's army to fight them comfortably.
Even if there are some tribesmen who can make fire in advance, it is still not easy to burn their own tribe's Tengjia Army.
It would be extremely difficult for them who didn't know about rockets to throw fire that far.
Moreover, people in this era basically have a deep respect for fire. Even if someone can come up with 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 Southern Barbarian Tengjia Army.
Han Cheng, who was wearing a somewhat weird-looking rattan armor, jumped around randomly for a while, and after mentioning a few uncomfortable areas that needed improvement, the next thing that needed to be verified was the rattan armor's defensive ability.
After all, this is the most fundamental function of rattan armor, whether it looks good or not is secondary.
Looking at the wooden gun that had been sharpened, burned and polished with fire, Han Cheng very smartly asked the lame to take off the rattan armor worn on his body.
This kind of protective gear was still in the experimental stage. He didn't have much courage to wear it on his body and conduct experiments directly.
The reason why he was so cowardly was because he remembered a piece of news he had seen in later generations.
It was a foreign friend who put on a bulletproof vest and shot himself in the stomach. The bulletproof vest did not prevent the bullet, and then the guy went away.
After reading this news, in addition to sighing that he finally understood why there are so few foreigners, Han Cheng also gained a new understanding of body armor.
With this news, he would naturally not do this again when he first started conducting experiments.
After all, he has always attached great importance to his own life, and he has no idea of relying on tricks to become famous.
The untied rattan armor was tied to a thick tree stump. At Han Cheng's signal, Lame took the polished sharp wooden gun and stabbed at the rattan armor...
As the rattan armor shook, he lamely retracted the wooden gun, and Han Cheng went up to check.
The rattan lost some skin where it was stabbed by the wooden spear, but otherwise there was no damage.
Han Cheng nodded with satisfaction and then asked Lai to continue stabbing with the wooden spear.
After stabbing it ten times in a row, Han Cheng took the rattan armor off the tree stump and looked at it carefully.
After suffering more than ten attacks in a row, the front of Teng Jia looked a little scarred.
However, most of the damage was just the skin on the cane being poked off. The actual damage was not great. Only one relatively thin cane was stabbed and severed 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, found the stronger second brother, and asked him to hit it with stones.
The second senior brother was always full of enthusiasm for throwing stones. After understanding what Han Cheng wanted him to do, he picked up 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 could not use the sling, but he soon became excited again.
As a person who likes to throw stones, you can’t just like a little bit. You must also like and be proficient in other methods of throwing stones.
Only in this way can it be called true love.
Looking at the second senior brother who was holding the stone and looking very excited, 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 bounce back and hurt him if he hit the rattan armor later.
Just after taking two steps, the second senior brother had already waved his arms, and the stone suddenly flew out of his hand.
As Han Cheng expected, the stone bounced when it hit the rattan armor, but it didn't bounce too far.
Han Cheng did not immediately go over to check the damage caused by the stone to the rattan armor. Instead, he motioned to the second senior brother to stand more than ten meters away and continue to hit the rattan armor with rocks.
Of course, the second senior brother was very good at it. He took seven or eight shots and was able to hit every time.
After shouting to stop throwing, Han Cheng walked over and took off the rattan armor from the wooden stake, and then checked.
With the Second Senior Brother's violent attack with stones, more marks were left on the vine armor.
Not only has the skin fallen off in many places, but there are also some relatively fine stone chips left on some rattans.
However, although the vine armor looked particularly miserable, in fact, the second senior brother's powerful attacks did not break through the vine armor's defense.
Even the damage caused to the wooden stake behind the rattan armor was not as serious as that caused by lamely using a wooden stick.
This is mainly because stones are not sharp objects and can easily be blocked by rattan armor. Sharpened wooden guns and other things can concentrate the power on a single point. Sometimes, they can even flow in through the gaps between the rattans.
Drill inside.
It is precisely because of this that when facing stones, the defense that the rattan armor can exert is better.
The second senior brother was obviously not very satisfied with the fact that the stone he threw had only caused this level of damage to Tengjia.
He easily took off the sling wrapped around his waist and beat 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 a sling was actually the same as the reason why Han Cheng only asked the lame to use a sharpened wooden stick in the previous experiment, instead of using the sharper bronze sword in the tribe.
Things like rattan armor are used to defend against enemies. According to Han Cheng's current understanding of outside tribes, there are not many tribes with weapons such as slings and sharp Changge like his own tribe. At this time, experiments are carried out
When the time comes, it will naturally depend on the combat strength level of other tribes.
After verifying that ordinary attacks of this era could be effectively mitigated, we began to gradually raise the requirements and move towards the standards of our own tribe's attack power.
Moreover, judging from the previous experience of making rattan shields, after these rattan armors are dried, their defensive capabilities will be improved.
So at this time, Han Cheng would naturally not directly use his tribe's highest attack power to conduct experiments.
After gaining a certain understanding of the defensive power of the rattan armor through attack tests, Han Cheng began to ask his senior brother, Shang and other people who had returned from sowing the seeds to try on the scarred rattan armor one by one, and then asked them to tell each of them what they felt was uncomfortable.
Tell me where you feel comfortable.
He was on the side, taking a pen and paper to record it. These will be the areas that need to be improved in the future besides defense.
Shang kept looking at the miserable-looking rattan armor, and he breathed a sigh of relief until he was sure that he could kill the person wearing the rattan armor with the gun in his hand...
After receiving the results of this test, Lame took the ravaged rattan armor and continued to work hard to improve it. Two days later, Bai Xuemei also took out the leather armor.
There is no shortage of leather Qingque tribe, but not many are suitable for making leather armor.
Han Cheng carefully searched through his few memories about leather armor and knew that the leather that was more suitable for making leather armor was cowhide.
It's just that the largest livestock in the tribe is the donkey, and there is no trace of cattle at all. Therefore, it is a bit difficult when making leather armor.
Because during manufacturing, in order to increase the defense capability, these bare skins need to be coated with two or three layers. This is a troublesome matter.
In fact, there are good leathers suitable for leather armor in the tribe. Most of the skins from the dead rhino from the Soaring Snake Tribe are still stored in the tribe.
However, Han Cheng was not prepared to use the small amount of good leather before the tribe's armor-making technology had matured.
He was also thinking about getting himself a set of rhinoceros armor when the time came, and of course he didn't want to waste it at this time.
Bai Xuemei's craftsmanship is as good as ever. Although it was her first time to make leather armor, and the tools and materials she used were not very convenient, she still made the leather armor, and it looked decent.
, much more beautiful than the rattan armor made by lame weaving.
After Han Cheng touched Bai Xuemei's head with his hand, he continued to conduct the defense experiment. The procedure was the same as when training Tengjia two days ago.
First the wooden spear, then the stone.
Seeing Shang holding a wooden gun and stabbing the leather armor that she had finally made, Bai Xuemei felt heartbroken.
If such an order had not been issued by Brother Cheng, Bai Xuemei might have gone to retrieve the leather armor from the tree stump.
After being stabbed randomly by Shang with a wooden gun, Han Cheng carefully inspected the leather armor.
There were a lot of small holes left in the leather armor, but because most of the leather armor was composed of three layers of leather, only the first two layers were pierced, and the back layer was still intact, so it cannot be said to have been pierced.
Broke the defense.
From this point of view, when facing the assassination of a spear, the defensive power of leather armor is better than that of rattan armor.
After trying the wooden gun, the next step is the stone.
Han Cheng's face couldn't help but twitch when he heard the "tuk-tuk" sound of the stone thrown hard by the second senior brother after hitting the leather armor and then hitting the wooden stake behind.
From this sound, you can know how painful it will be for a person wearing leather armor when being attacked by an enemy's stone.
It seems that when faced with attacks from blunt weapons such as stones, rattan armor has better defense than leather armor.
Because rattan armor is hard, when it is attacked by a blunt object such as a stone, it will not dent like leather armor. Instead, the power from the stone will be perfectly tilted towards the person behind the leather armor.
After coming to this conclusion, Han Cheng easily fell into the dilemma of whether to make more rattan armor or more leather armor.
Both have their pros and cons, and it's not easy to make a choice.
This dilemma lasted until night, and Han Chengcai finally made a decision.
The decision was to first create a batch of rattan armor and equip them to the team.
The reason for this choice is that in addition to the relatively low cost of rattan armor, there is another important reason.
