Chapter 273 New Equipment
"New equipment?"
As soon as Mo Jun said this, the rest of the people in the tent looked at him with curiosity in their eyes.
"The equipment made of a new type of material is still in the testing stage because the forging technology is not mature enough. If you generals are interested, why not take a look together?"
Mo Jun opened his mouth to invite.
Many generals in the camp looked at each other when they heard Mo Jun's words, and they all saw a bit of interest in each other's eyes.
"Since Mr. Shengping invites you, then I will be disrespectful."
Mo Jun made a move, it must be a fine product.
This has almost become a consensus in Qin today.
So when Mo Jun said 'new equipment', even Wang Jian and Meng Ao couldn't help feeling curious.
Everyone followed Mr. Mo to the ordnance camp.
Finally, in a corner of the armory camp, everyone saw the so-called 'new equipment' that Mo Jun said.
Those were [-] sets of weapons and armor. The overall shape of the armor was not much different from that of the Qin State Black Armor. The only difference was that the [-] sets of armor were silver-black, and the whole body exuded cold reflections.
"This...is the 'new equipment' that Mr. Shengping mentioned?"
Someone couldn't help but speak.
Although these [-] sets of weapons and armor do look mighty and extraordinary, compared with the armor currently owned by the Qin State, it seems that there is not much special about it.
"good."
As if he didn't see the 'question' in the man's eyes, Mo Jun went straight to the front of the five thousand sets of 'new equipment', took out a long sword with a sheath from it and threw it to Meng Tian, said.
"General Meng, why don't you try to see if the equipment goes well?"
"Yes, this subordinate obeys the order."
Although Meng Tian also didn't see anything special about the five thousand sets of 'new equipment', but out of his duty as a soldier, he still took the long sword thrown by Mo Jun, and responded with a serious expression.
Zheng!
Meng Tian pulled out his long sword, and a crisp sword sound resounded instantly.
Hearing the sound of the sword, the expressions of many generals who didn't care much just now changed, and the next second, Meng Ao pulled out a bronze sword from the waist of the guard beside him, and said to Meng Tian .
"Touch it."
Meng Ao's words were concise and concise, but Meng Tian, who is Meng Ao's grandson, understood the meaning of Meng Ao's words in an instant. Without any hesitation, he directly came to Meng Ao with a sword.
Seeing this, the rest of the generals present moved away from the middle position one after another, and stared intently at the grandpa and grandson in the middle of the field with a distance of seven or eight feet.
clang!
next moment.
I saw Meng Ao and Meng Tian swinging their long swords at the same time, neither of them used too much strength, but when the flames splashed, everyone around could still clearly see a fragment of the blade about the size of a fingernail, collapsing and flying into the air among.
"Which sword is this?"
Seeing this piece of debris, this question popped up in the minds of everyone present almost immediately.
soon.
Everyone got the answer.
When Meng Ao and Meng Tian withdrew their long swords at the same time, all the generals around saw along the long swords held in their hands, and suddenly saw a huge gap visible to the naked eye on the edge of the bronze sword in Meng Ao's hand.
On the other hand, the silver-black long sword in Meng Tian's hand, even though the blade was also damaged, it was only the size of a grain of rice.
Which is stronger or weaker.
You can tell at a glance.
Seeing this result, Wang Jian, who was watching the battle, narrowed his eyes and said to Meng Tian, "Give me the sword."
As soon as Wang Jian, the commander-in-chief, opened his mouth, the generals who were also curious about the sword in Meng Tian's hand suddenly died down, and withdrew their idea of letting him see it first.
Meng Tian held the sword in both hands and handed it to Wang Jian.
The moment Wang Jian stretched out his hand to pick up the sword, he couldn't help but twitch slightly between his eyebrows.
After flicking their fingers, everyone only heard a 'ding', and immediately there was a layer of sword waves that looked like water waves on the entire long sword.
see this scene.
Wang Jian, who could barely keep calm before, his eyes brightened instantly, and he said loudly: "Cai! It is really a good weapon. Although it is sharp and hard, it is only slightly stronger than bronze weapons."
"However, bronze is too rigid and easy to break, but this sword has toughness that bronze does not have. With such a material, forging a weapon of the same length may only need half the weight of bronze to complete the forging... "
Bronze is extremely hard and brittle, so under normal circumstances, weapons cast in bronze will not be too long.For a sword of the same length, the width and thickness of a bronze sword can often be more than double that of an iron sword.
Originally, when they heard the first half of Wang Jian's words, the generals didn't react too much.
But when they heard the second half, everyone's expressions changed in an instant. If the sword Mo Jun took out was only superior in performance, then everyone might be surprised, but they shouldn't make such a fuss.
But when they heard that the weight of Meng Tian's sword was only half of the bronze sword, the situation changed instantly.
Because the weight of a forged long sword is only half, does that also mean that the weight of armor is only half of the same level?
Thinking of this.
Many generals turned their heads to look at Mo Jun... To be precise, they looked at the five thousand sets of armor in front of him. At this moment, Mo Jun had the illusion that he was being watched by a group of hungry wolves.
On the battlefield.
Weapons of the same quality are not as light as possible, because weight is also a kind of attack power in many cases.
But for armor with the same defensive power, the lighter the better.
A sharp but sharp weapon is important, but in the era of cold weapons, the real core equipment is always armor, which is why only armor has been banned in the past dynasties, but not swords.
"Lord Sheng Ping, can you let me take a look at these armors?" Someone clasped their fists excitedly and saluted.
"Please, generals."
Mo Jun stretched out his hand, indicating that everyone can move as they please.
After getting Mo Jun's permission, a group of generals couldn't hold back any longer, they got into the pile of weapons excitedly, some picked up a set of armor to weigh the weight, some reached out to test the quality of these armor like knocking watermelon, what's more, He directly put a set of armor on himself, and at the same time handed the bronze sword at his waist to the person next to him, and asked him to draw the sword and slash at himself.
And the general who received the bronze sword simply pulled out the bronze sword and slashed at the opponent.
Clang.
The bronze sword was directly split by the armor, splashing sparks.
Afterwards, I saw that there was only a white mark and a very small pit on the armor. Although the armor piece on it was deformed, it did not shatter like the previous bronze armor.
"Hahaha, good armor, good armor."
Seeing this kind of result, the general who had been a bit apprehensive before burst into laughter.
"The weight of the new armor is only half of the previous one, but its defensive power is not inferior to the previous armor. I have heard for a long time that Shengping Jun is a genius, and he is an immortal. In the past, I, Lao Yang, only thought it was bragging, but today When I saw it, it turned out that my knowledge was too small.”
"If it wasn't for the immortals who came to the world, how could ordinary people create this kind of divine armor. If my generals and soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty wear this armor in battle in the future, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army can be increased by at least [-]%."
The name of this test general is 'Yang Duanhe', and he is also one of the famous generals of Qin.
At this moment, he seemed particularly excited, and it was no wonder that in this day and age, for a general like him, a pair of good armor was almost more eye-catching than a naked beauty.
After all, losing a beautiful woman is at most a bit of a disadvantage, but if you lose your armor on the battlefield, you will die.
Just when everyone was delighted and excited about the quality of these 'new equipment'.
suddenly.
A voice sounded, instantly silenced everyone.
"The quality of this armor is indeed astonishing, but I dare to ask Shengping Jun, how is the output of these new equipment?"
As soon as this sentence came out, many generals who were originally excited in the tent suddenly became quiet.
Yes!
No matter how good the quality of armor is, if the quantity is too small, it will not be of much use.
And looking at the current number of armors in the camp, it seems that this kind of armor is not particularly easy to produce. Otherwise, with Qin's current productivity, how could it only produce [-] sets of armor.
Facing everyone's gaze, Mo Jun was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "The current output of this armor is indeed not high, but..."
Hearing the first half of Mo Jun's words, everyone felt a little lost in their hearts, but they never thought that Mo Jun would suddenly gasp again, and then grinned at everyone.
"However, if the subsequent research goes well, then the output of this kind of armor in the future will even be more than the bronze armor produced by my Daqin today."
"After all, this kind of armor is forged from 'iron'. The amount of iron ore discovered in Qin State is not inferior to copper mine at all."
Mo Jun's words surprised and surprised the generals.
iron?
Armor of this quality is actually cast from that kind of 'iron stone' that is more fragile than bronze?
Daqin's iron smelting technology is not superb. At present, Qin's bronze technology has developed to a peak, but iron smelting technology has only just started.
In the cognition of most old Qin people, iron is a kind of extremely fragile gold.
On the contrary, some far-sighted people have seen some relatively hard iron ware in other countries, but generally speaking, the highest iron smelting technology in the Central Plains is only as good as the bronze ware cast in Qin State.
Can be imagined.
Mo Jun suddenly used the material 'iron' to create a weapon that far surpassed bronze. What a surprise to these Qin generals.
But the surprise was the surprise, and soon many generals didn't care about it.
After all, these people are the big bosses in the barracks, they are good at marching and fighting, but if you really want them to study iron smelting, forging and other crafts, it is not much different from playing the piano with a cow.
Compared with the forging process of this material.
Right now they are more concerned about how to deal with these weapons and equipment.
Is the so-called 'a good horse with a good saddle'.
This group of people are all generals who have spent half their lives on the battlefield in the barracks. It is impossible to say that they are not greedy when they suddenly see such a batch of good weapons and equipment.
However, it is a pity that these weapons and equipment have been allocated to Meng Tian by Mo Jun just now.
"Okay, don't embarrass yourself here, but it's just five thousand sets of armor. Now the number of soldiers invested by Qin, Zhao, and Wei on the frontal battlefield is close to one million. Da Qin, who is a vanguard soldier, has already invested It's in the hundreds of thousands."
"Now there are only [-] sets of new equipment, even if you get them, they won't make a splash on today's battlefield. Instead of exposing these 'new equipment' now, it's better to use it as a trump card and not expose it for the time being. In the eyes of other countries."
"These [-] sets of new equipment will be temporarily handed over to Meng Tian to take them to northern Xinjiang according to Mr. Shengping's words. Let the wolves first test the performance and quality of these new equipment."
Seeing a group of generals in the tent all staring eagerly at the [-] sets of armor in the corner, Meng Ao couldn't see the inner thoughts of these guys.
But since Mr. Mo had spoken to allocate these equipments to Meng Tian just now, as Meng Tian's grandfather, Meng Ao naturally wanted to say a few words for Meng Tian at this time.
Otherwise, now that Mengtian people speak lightly, if he is accidentally dragged into a pit by these old shameless people, wouldn't he suffer a big loss for the Meng family.
In a place like the battlefield, you have to eat everything, except you can't suffer.
Seeing Meng Ao speak.
A group of generals around slammed their mouths, and each withdrew their small thoughts with regret on their faces.
In fact, what Meng Ao said just now was not wrong. Although this new type of equipment is very good, it is really difficult to play a decisive role in today's Three Kingdoms battlefield with only [-] sets.
The main reason is that the Three Kingdoms are investing too many troops on the frontal battlefield.
Under normal conditions.
The proportion of troops in the armies of various countries is generally one-tenth of the vanguard elite, about two-tenths to four-tenths of the backbone army, and the rest of the troops are logistics.
This is the regular ratio of an army.
However, on the current battlefield, although Qin has only invested 40 troops, because Qin's national strength has continued to grow in recent years, the quality of the army has naturally increased rapidly.
Among the 40 troops that Qin State invested this time, the number of vanguard and elite soldiers alone accounted for almost [-].
The remaining 30, 20 are the backbone army, and the last [-] are logistical support.
Although the 'new type of armor' made of steel is powerful, compared with the soldiers of the Qin State today, it has not achieved that kind of transcendent crushing.
For simple comparison.
If two armies with soldiers of similar quality are now equipped with Qin's armor and new type of armor, Mo Jun's new type of armor can at most hit one against two.
In other words.
With [-] sets of armor on the battlefield, you can destroy at most [-] elite enemies.
This does not play much role in the frontline battlefield.
And this is still a situation where the two sides are fighting head-on. In fact, with the current disadvantage of the Zhao Wei coalition army, the Qin army mostly fights siege battles.
In this case, the advantages that new equipment can exert are even lower.
It was precisely because he realized that he had misjudged the situation on the frontline battlefield that Mo Jun let Meng Tian take away the five thousand sets of armor.
