Chapter 1470 New Bulletproof Armor
After all the prisoners of the orc army were settled, Luo Ji directly signaled Ike to go to the Ordnance Research Department to confirm the progress of the new type of bulletproof armor.
According to Luo Ji's original expectation, it should be about a quarter before the results can be produced. In the end, looking at the current situation, it seems that it will take longer than he expected?
Later, according to the news brought back by Ike, the Ordnance Research Department used the armor of the armored beast as the main material, and the newly developed bulletproof armor was officially developed at the end of this month.
As Luo Ji who had worn the original version, the feeling at this moment was the most obvious.
In simple words, the comfort is significantly improved.
In the original version, under the premise of wearing armor, if you move your muscles and bones casually, you will feel that your whole body will be bumped and bumped everywhere, and the joints will be particularly uncomfortable, and even significantly affect your flexibility.
And this time, it can be said that all the previous defects have been swept away. It is no exaggeration to say that it is more than ten times better than before.
As for the appearance, the whole body is painted in black, which is different from the roughness before. The armor at this time can clearly feel a kind of exquisiteness in the roughness. There is no doubt that it is from a master craftsman. craftsmanship.
"Is it my illusion? This armor seems to be lighter than before?"
While speaking, Luo Ji's gaze fell directly on Bart Wildhammer, and then cast a questioning look at him.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the thickness of this bulletproof armor is only half of the original, so the overall weight is also greatly reduced."
At this moment, Bart Wildhammer undoubtedly had a bit of smugness on his face that could not be concealed.
As an expert in forging and developing hot weapons, the rough and rough-like appearance and detailed design of the previous armor made him feel ashamed.
This time, he finally had a chance to be ashamed. Of course, he was very energetic. It can be said that he poured all his efforts into this set of armor. For this, he also spent more than Expect a longer time.
However, this result is undoubtedly satisfactory.
Luo Ji, who was still wearing that set of bulletproof armor, jumped subconsciously. Indeed, the weight was too much lighter.
As a rough estimate, as a set of heavy armor that focuses on defense, this weight has definitely reached below the average value.
While realizing this, Luo Ji was also a little worried.
"You said that the thickness of this set of bulletproof armor is only half of the original? Will this affect the defense capability?"
In response, Bart Wildhammer, who was already mentally prepared, smiled confidently.
"This point, please rest assured, Your Majesty, Wei Chen has already tested this armor when it is finished. For bullet and grenade attacks, this armor still has a near-perfect defense capability. The only difference is that , the attack of the cannon, the damage to it has increased, but it doesn't matter at all."
Luo Ji understood what Bart Wildhammer meant. Whether or not the armor could withstand the power of artillery bombardment was completely meaningless.
It was said earlier that even in the face of the shelling of high-explosive shells, this armor can withstand the destructive force, but the people inside the armor will definitely be killed on the spot by the impact of the shelling.
In other words, just because the armor can withstand shelling doesn't mean your body can withstand it.
Under this premise, instead of pursuing the fundamentally meaningless artillery defense capability, it would be better to reduce the weight to increase the wearer's flexibility and mobility. Luo Ji was undoubtedly satisfied with this result.
But at the same time, he thought of another thing.
"Since the thickness of this armor is only half of the original, does that mean that the iron beast outer armor that was originally used to make one set of armor can now be made two sets?"
In this regard, Bart Wildhammer said after a little pondering...
"It may not be enough to build two sets, and it may be necessary to make up a little bit, but it is almost the same."
That's a lot of fun, though after getting himself an orc trumpet, Raymond Socie's stockpile will end up in his hands sooner or later.
However, Luo Ji made a rough estimate in his heart, and the amount of this kind of material would definitely not be too many.
Now it is possible to use the material of the original set of armor to make almost two sets of armor, which is equivalent to the number of armed forces, which can be directly doubled. This is of great value to Luo Ji.
Of course, as a price, due to the secondary processing of the armor of the iron-clad beast during the forging period, the thickness and weight were reduced, so the entire processing time undoubtedly became longer.
According to Bart Wildhammer, it will take at least five to six months from the start of processing the outer armor of the Ironclad Beast to the completion of the forging of a set of armor, under the premise of having enough manpower.
Faced with such efficiency, Luo Ji naturally had no time to linger, so he hurriedly ordered the manufacture of this armor set. While allocating manpower and funding, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Forging Department started work immediately.
At the same time, on the other side, after the army of orcs completely withdrew from the Caliphate territory, as the new Caliphate Emperor, Hussein Ibn, while recovering the lost territory one after another and reorganizing the development and construction of the territory, also officially announced, and Orcs truce.
During this period, it is natural that some people will raise their opinions.
To this, the answer given by Hussein Ibn is...
"Have you seen this tragic situation in my Caliphate territory? Who among you can solve the famine problem of the people in each city, let the city resume development and production, and get on the right track, then this battle can continue! Otherwise, all shut up!"
For such a huge mess, if Luo Ji hadn't secretly provided supplies to allow them to recover on their own, it is no exaggeration to say that even if he was given a dozen or twenty five-star management talents, he would have been given another ten or twenty years. Time, it is impossible to fully recover.
A very simple truth, a clever woman can't cook without rice.
Five-star talents, they are indeed the top talents, but after all, they are not gods. If you want them to show their talents, you have to give them the corresponding environment and basic conditions.
Take Ye Xuan as an example, she is a top talent that can be called a national treasure of the Myriad Realms Civilization.
But if Luo Ji couldn't allocate the research funds and corresponding materials, then no matter how talented ye Xuan was, she wouldn't be able to develop anything.
The situation in the Caliphate Territory is the same, as long as Luo Ji pulls his hand, then they have nothing, this mess, don't even think about turning it over for anyone!
