The Rise of the European Emperor

"The Rise of the European Emperor ()"!

The "Jiangnan Tannery" armor is not an ordinary armor. In fact, Marin also came up with a more advanced way of playing - inserting high manganese steel sheets in the leather bag.

After testing, if the high-manganese steel sheet is inserted in the outermost layer of the folding paper, the protective power will be greatly increased, and it can withstand the long rifle with spring and ignition of the North Sea.

why? After the high-manganese steel sheet was hit by a bullet, it did appear deformed and even had holes. However, due to the folded paper buffer at the back, rifle bullets cannot penetrate. Moreover, it will not be like wearing plate armor, even if it cannot be pierced, it can still cause blunt damage or impact damage to the target. Because, the impact force on the high manganese steel sheet is absorbed by the folded paper.

Therefore, this kind of body armor can be regarded as a top-level body armor. Even if you get the modern one, it is very light to prevent the damage of the pistol. As for modern rifles, Marin is not very clear, because he does not have modern rifles to test. However, it is estimated that a submachine gun that uses pistol bullets can be blocked.

It can be said that this kind of bulletproof vest is basically based on the modern plate bulletproof vest, with folded paper on the back, the effect is definitely better than the plate vest of later generations.

Moreover, for the entire armor, not every leather bag has to be inserted with high manganese steel sheets. Just insert high manganese steel sheets into some purses in the vital parts of the chest and back. It is equivalent to adding a heart guard before and after.

The total weight of the armor produced in this way is only a few dozen pounds, but it has reached a super high level of protection.

Later, Marin asked the newly promoted Sir Yellow Crane, together with a group of armor-making craftsmen, to study weaving leather-wrapped horse armor for war horses.

Of course, war horses don't need too many high manganese steel sheets. If it is too heavy, the horse will not be able to run. Therefore, for the entire horse armor of the war horse, only high manganese steel sheets are inserted into the leather bags on the face and chest. For the rest, the basic leather bag is filled with folding paper.

Moreover, only the horse armor of the boss's horse will be inserted with some high manganese steel sheets. After all, manganese ore is scarce at present, and the output of high manganese steel is also very low. It is impossible to insert high manganese steel sheets into the horse armor of low-level cavalry.

Then, Marin, who was timid and cautious, also replaced his breastplate armor with "Jiangnan Leather Factory" armor with high manganese steel inserts. Although the weight is not much lighter than breastplate armor, it is much safer because it can withstand musket bullets. You must know that breastplate armor can only resist bows and swords, and it is difficult to resist muskets.

In particular, with the "Jiangnan Leather Factory" armor, Marin will not have to worry about being assassinated by muskets in the future. After all, an assassin must not be able to assassinate with a spear, and must only carry a pistol that is easy to hide for assassination. As for the handgun, even the "Jiangnan Tannery" armor without high manganese steel sheets cannot be pierced.

But Marin was still not satisfied,

It is suspected that the armor of the "Jiangnan Tannery Factory" is insufficient in protection. After all, what about joining assassins with long rifles? You know, he can't just stay in the safe city of Aurich and never go out.

And all the leather bags are inserted with high manganese steel sheets, which is safe, but the total weight exceeds 30 pounds, which is too heavy.

Therefore, Marin decided to use this as a basis to get more advanced armor...

So, what is stronger than paper? Silk of course! Before, Marin had made a body armor with 10 layers of silk sewn into the middle of two layers of cowhide. The kind that can also withstand the attack of the hand gun is similar to this kind of protection. The problem is that it is also scrapped after being attacked. Another problem is that it is probably because there are fewer layers of silk, which makes it difficult to resist heavy armor-piercing arrows. Because, this kind of cowhide-wrapped armor with 10 layers of silk mainly uses the toughness of 10 layers of silk to block the breakthrough of spherical lead bullets. However, heavy arrows in the form of armor-piercing cones can break open. Because, although the 10-layer silk has good toughness, there are also many gaps, and it is difficult to resist the penetration of the tapered arrow.

Inspired by the "Jiangnan Tannery" armor, Marin felt that it might be better to fold the silk and stuff it into a leather bag. The 10 layers of silk that originally covered the chest were all folded, and one layer of silk was only folded into one piece and stuffed into a small leather bag. Although the amount of silk has greatly increased, the protective power has also greatly increased. Then, whether it was the armor-piercing arrow or the lead bullet of the spear, they were all blocked...

However, when faced with a musket, this kind of armor is still vulnerable, that is-the steel nail slug made by Marin himself!

The slug is already powerful and has an astonishing impact. Moreover, the pointed part of the steel nail on the head acts as an armor-piercing cone. Therefore, even if the silk leather armor piece was replaced, it still couldn't block the attack of the steel nail tip.

In fact, the steel nail slug invented by Marin himself is too good. It not only has the powerful kinetic energy of the bullet, but also has the super armor-piercing ability of the armor-piercing cone. It is almost a weakened version of the armor-piercing bullet, and ordinary armor is really helpless. Even if a high manganese steel sheet is inserted, it is somewhat unable to prevent a slug with a steel nail.

Marin was not reconciled, and he was also afraid that one day his opponent would get this kind of bullet and use it to shoot himself. Therefore, he decided to further improve the "Jiangnan Tannery" armor so that it can withstand steel nail slugs.

So, this time, he upgraded the material again - sisal fiber!

The toughness and tensile strength of sisal fiber are much stronger than that of silk. He took out a batch of sisal fiber soaked in tung oil from the warehouse and handed it to the master silk weaver to weave sisal cloth by hand. Moreover, it is required to weave thicker and denser.

A master is a master after all, and with the help of a hand loom, the thick sisal cloth is quickly woven.

Then, Marin repeated his old trick, replacing the silk in the armor piece of the leather bag with folded thick sisal cloth.

Test it again and find that the performance has been greatly improved. This ultimate version of the "Jiangnan Tannery" armor can not only withstand the spherical lead bullets of ordinary musket guns, but also remove most of the power of the bullets when facing steel nail slugs, preventing the bullets from penetrating into the body. , at most it is difficult to block the penetration of steel nails. But if it's just a steel nail piercing in, it can be regarded as cold weapon damage like bow and arrow damage at most. Moreover, the penetration is not deep enough to save lives.

And after adding high manganese steel sheets to the folded thick sisal cloth of this ultimate version of the "Jiangnan Tannery" armor, even armor-piercing bullets such as steel nail slugs are difficult to penetrate the armor and damage the armor. target.

"Very good, this body armor is what I want!"

Then, Marin happily changed into the ultimate version of the "Jiangnan Tannery" armor with folded thick sisal cloth. High manganese steel sheets are still inserted in the vital parts of the chest, front and back. This kind of armor, not to mention being able to withstand the ordinary smoothbore guns of this era, even against the AK, can save his life, and at most it will suffer a little damage. Because, sisal fiber is really excellent!

In fact, Marin didn't know that at the end of the 19th century, a man named Ziglin in Laomei invented silk body armor. He asked someone to weave very thick silk, which was consistent with Marin's thinking. He then superimposed four very thick layers of silk to create a silk body armor. Moreover, this guy personally put on a silk body armor and was shot at him, which shocked the whole United States at that time.

At that time, Zieglin's silk body armor could withstand the attack of a pistol. It is said that McKinley, the old US president who was assassinated at the time, passed by Ziegling because he was busy with campaign speeches. Otherwise, he would not have died if he wore Ziegling's body armor, and history would have been changed accordingly.

In addition, it is said that the unlucky Archduke Ferdinand, who was assassinated in Sarajevo, wore Ziegling's silk body armor. But the Serbian boy Princip probably knew this, so he didn't shoot in the abdomen, but in the neck, making Archduke Ferdinand's body armor a display. Because of this incident, the reputation of Ziglin's body armor was damaged, and he lost his chance to rise.

In fact, this matter can't be blamed on Ziglin's body armor at all, it can only be blamed on the Serbian guy who doesn't speak martial arts, and hits the neck...

But this incident also reminded Marin, so while making the body armor, Marin also made a hem made of multi-layer sisal cloth for the helmet. Like the helmet of the Eight Banners Cotton Armor, the lower sisal hem can be buckled up to protect the neck. In addition, the helmet also retains a pull-down mask, becoming a new type of helmet that combines east and west. Even the outside of the helmet is covered with a thick layer of sisal cloth for protection, similar to the Kevlar wrapped around the steel helmet of later generations, which strengthens the protection.

In this way, Marin's security has been greatly improved. After all, it is the strongest mass-produced fiber that can be obtained in nature (the golden-eyed spider in the old southern United States is really hard to find. After finding it, the spider silk is also difficult to handle with the technology of this era), and the armor that can be made has amazing protection.

Of course, this top-notch ultimate version of the "Jiangnan Tannery" armor was only issued to the senior generals of the Beihai Kingdom. Ordinary officers wear the silk version. And what the soldiers wear is paper version, with distinct layers...
