This treasury is very empty, and when people go in, it is like entering a palace, which makes Cao Chong feel the insignificance of people.
Inside the treasury were countless wooden chests half a person high, filling the small half-mansion treasury.
Entering this mansion, Cao Chong could smell a slight moldy smell.
Come to think of it, most of the treasury of this era has a taste.
This is especially true of this treasury.
Cao Chong looked at the wooden boxes stacked neatly in front of him, and turned his eyes to Guo Xiao.
Guo Xiao understood what Cao Chong meant, and hurriedly waved his hand to the person beside him.
Two sturdy soldiers took the order, lifted a box down, and pried the wooden box open with iron rods.
Then, Cao Chong saw the heavy armor he thought about day and night.
The heavy armor lay quietly inside the wooden box, occupying almost the entire wooden box.
Cao Chong took some effort to lift the iron armor inside the wooden box, and then let the two soldiers in front of him hold it in his hands.
At this moment, the heavy armor was really displayed in Cao Chong's eyes.
Iron armor is like chain mail in later generations, and it may be difficult to break with a sword.
Cao Chong pulled out the sword at his waist and stabbed it hard at the iron armor.
The two soldiers in the back took a step back, their faces flushed a little, but they still took Cao Chong's sword.
You must know that under the effect of mysterious power, Cao Chong's strength is definitely not small, and even compared to some strong men, he is not too reckless, and under Cao Chong's full sword, it is no less than a war horse galloping.
Being able to take this sword proves that these two soldiers are definitely good hands as well.
Looking at their standing, it is obvious that they have unloaded their strength, otherwise it would be impossible to just take a step back.
Cao Chong didn't care about the expressions on the faces of the two soldiers, he was now engrossed in looking at the mark that had been stabbed by himself.
Cao Chong's sword is a sword, and its strength is definitely not bad compared to that of ordinary generals, but even if Cao Chong hits like this, he still failed to pierce the heavy armor, leaving only a finger-deep hole.
In other words, the armor's defensive power is amazing.
Cao Chong looked at the heavy armor and threw the sword in his hand to Zhou Dufu behind him.
"Big head, you come and give it a try, use your full strength."
In terms of strength, Cao Chong's self-payment is no worse than Zhou Dufu's, but Zhou Dufu has martial arts after all, and his skills are much better than his own, so the more damage he can naturally fight.
Zhou Dufu was instructed by Cao Chong and didn't dare to refuse, he took Cao Chong's sword, took a step forward, took a deep breath, took a step back, his calf bent slightly, and then his eyes suddenly opened, his body leaned forward, and he stabbed forward fiercely with the sword in his hand. cluster A sound like a sack was cut, and Cao Chong looked at the heavy armor fixedly, and found that Zhou Dufu's sword had already pierced it.
Cao Chong's brows furrowed.
And when Guo Xiao saw this scene, his face was not particularly good-looking.
Dozens of pounds of heavy armor was actually pierced by a sword.
What's more, it was seen by the prince.
The prince is afraid that he does not want to blame himself Guo Xiao looked at Cao Chong with some concern.
At this time, Cao Chong's face remained unchanged, he glanced at Guo Xiao lightly, and did not hold Guo Xiao accountable as Guo Xiao expected, but asked Zhou Dufu: "Big head, how is this heavy armor?"
As a general, he naturally knows the advantages and disadvantages of a pair of armor.
Zhou Dufu was asked by Cao Chong like this, and he didn't dare to despise it, and said to Cao Chong honestly: "Brother-in-law, this heavy armor is not good compared to the personal armor of those generals, but it is definitely many grades higher than the heavy armor worn by those soldiers." ” That is, it is more than enough than the top.
But Cao Chong was not too disappointed in his heart.
You know, those armors are like war horses, the second life of a general.
Usually generals will put all their strength into their personal armor, which can even be turned into heirlooms in the end.
Compared to the things that the generals spent all their strength forging, the mass-produced heavy armor was not a shame to be worse than it.
If armor becomes invulnerable, it is like the relationship between a spear and a shield, it is an impossible thing.
After experimenting with his own hands, Cao Chong was quite satisfied with this armor, but Cao Chong was far from being satisfied.
"How many pounds does this armor weigh?"
Guo Xiao was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Thirty-five kilograms." ” Thirty-five kilograms Cao Chong was also stunned.
I didn't expect this armor to be so heavy You know, European chain mail weighed only 15 kilograms, and the Gothic full-body armor in the 15th century was only 20 kilograms.
While the heaviest armor of the 17th century reached 42 kg, the average heavy-duty three-quarter armor was only in the range of 2030 kg.
In other words, judging from the quality alone, this heavy armor is already heavier than the heavy armor of later generations.
This is certainly not good news.

Cao Chong wants a strong defense, and after adding weight, the defense is indeed strong, but the weight is too heavy.
The armor is too heavy, and for an army, it is not only not a good thing, but also a disaster.
The increase in weight also decreases mobility, and not only that, but also greatly reduces the time it takes for heavy cavalry to enter.
And Able to carry thirty-five kilograms and also capable of fighting the enemy.
There are definitely not many such people.
In other words, Cao Chong's source of troops has become more demanding.
For the heavy armor soldiers, Cao Chong deeply remembered many cases, such as the heavy armor soldiers of Yue Fei of the Southern Song Dynasty in later generations.
The famous general Yue Fei led the heavy infantry with iron armor, spears and crossbows as the main equipment, and repeatedly defeated the Jurchen Jin Dynasty cavalry with a dense lineup.
Including weapons, the load of the heavy infantry of the Song army at that time was as high as 4050kg, due to the heavy equipment, mobility was affected, such as the Gao Battle in the {1141} of the 11th year of Shaoxing, the Song army with infantry as the main force, due to heavy armor, plus too long weapons, the load was too heavy, so it failed to completely annihilate the cavalry of the Jin Dynasty, which had been defeated.
For the highly mobile Qianghu, poor mobility is very fatal.
Cao Chong was very satisfied with the defense of this heavy armor, but Cao Chong was not very satisfied with the weight.
It is necessary to reduce the weight without lowering the defense, or even strengthening the defense.
Cao Chong knew that it was not an easy job, but it was something that had to be done.
Equipment is the second life for a soldier, and Cao Chong will not joke with the lives of his subordinates. meantime Cao Chong's gaze is not limited to this.
In order to change an era and a group of people, it is completely insufficient and unrealistic to rely on the reform of the system alone.
Only through technological reform and ideological reform can we truly change an era.
At the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the power of the family gradually became rampant, but with the emergence of new technologies, another emerging power group would inevitably appear.
And when this power group is stronger than the Saga family.
The reform that Cao Chong wants will be much easier Of course, this is a long way to go.
But from the technological reform of this heavy armor, let Cao Chong see if he can cultivate a group of people with innovative spirit.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces.
And technology comes from innovation
