A set of iron armor is only the cost price. If you buy it, the price will be at least 50 jin.

Not to mention that this thing is too strict to be controlled, it is difficult for you to buy it.

Li Luo planned to follow the Yuan army to fight against Japan in the east a year, and now he is eager to build iron armor, of course, to fight against the Japanese army.

A year later, the Li family army that went to the expedition must have a 100% armor rate. The equipment rate of iron armor must account for more than 50% and leather armor shall be less than 50%.

This is exactly the armored equipment rate of the elite Song Dynasty.

Under the premise that individual soldiers are all stronger than Song army's qualities, organization, sense of honor, and treatment status, as long as the Song army's equipment level is reached, the Li family army can become a first-class strong army in the world.

Li Luo plans to send 6,000 troops next year. According to half of the iron armor equipment rate, he needs 3,000 sets of iron armor and 3,000 sets of leather armor.

There are now 300 sets of iron armor, and there are still 2,700 sets left. According to Gu Kai's armor making speed, only more than 200 sets can be produced in a year.

Unless the capacity is expanded ten times.

Li Luo asked: "Master Gu is talking about the Song army-style mountain iron armor. Is there a new armor that is better than the mountain iron armor?"

Gu Kai was suddenly a little excited. He didn't expect that Li Luo would take the initiative to care about this issue.

"The good general knows that the villain came up with a new armor a few years ago, which can save more than ten kilograms of iron, and its effectiveness is no worse than that of Wenshan armor!" Gu Kai was full of energy.

Could it be the armor invented in the mid-Ming Dynasty? Li Luo guessed that the best armor in Chinese and foreign history was not Western plate armor (too heavy), nor the famous Mingguang armor of the Tang Dynasty, but the little-known "armor".

Sure enough, Gu Kai's next words verified Li Luo's guess.

"...The inner lining is divided into iron sheets and is not integrated, with the iron sheets covered with leather and a cotton core thick cloth..." Gu Kai talked happily.

What Gu Kai said was indeed a cover armor, but it was a layer of leather more than the ordinary cover armor. It was a "composite armor" that combined the three layers of iron, leather and cotton.

Although the armor was invented by the Ming Dynasty, it was promoted by the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. The cotton armor of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners belongs to the armor.

The armor (cotton armor) has good protection for cold weapons and firearms. The new armor mentioned by Gu Kai also has an additional layer of leather armor, which is better than cotton armor.

Although I used less iron, because it is a three-layer composite armor, it scientifically reduces the attack of sharp weapons, which is no worse than Wenshan armor that uses more iron.

More importantly, Gu Kai said that the weight can be reduced by 6 or 7 kilograms, the cost can be reduced by 7 or 8 jin, and the manufacturing progress can be achieved by half.

Li Luo asked puzzledly: "This is combining iron armor, leather armor and cloth armor into one. It is more complicated and complicated. How can it be made faster than Wenshan armor?"

Gu Kai explained: "General, Wen Shan Jia is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive to build iron sheets. One or two thousand small iron sheets need to be formed into a mountain shape. I don't know how much effort it takes. Not only does the new armor use more than ten kilograms of iron, but it can also make iron sheets into square sheets, which saves most of the effort.

Even if you add leather armor and cotton armor, it is still much faster than making Wenshan armor. If you have a tailor and a cobbler, it will be more than twice as fast as Wenshan armor."

Li Luo thought to himself that this is a talent! He asked again: "If there are tailors and cobblers who follow the tune, how many new players can be produced in a month?"

Gu Kai replied without hesitation: "If the materials are enough, at least forty sets per month!"

Li Luo calculated that forty per month, it would be five hundred per year. If the manpower is expanded ten times accordingly, there will be five thousand new sets next year.

"Gu Director Gu," Li Luo called Gu Kai's new position directly, "I ordered you to call with all your powers, recruit craftsmen and apprentices, and expand your staff as much as possible."

"Gu Kai obeys the order!" Gu Kai took the order.

Li Luo also said: "Although armor is a major event, it is not urgent for the time being. The most urgent thing for the Craftsman Department now is the stone cannon machine! After you return to the Craftsman Department, start construction immediately and work day and night!"

Make stone cannon machines first? Should I attack Shengfan Dazhai? Gu Kai thought to himself and quickly said, "The general is atonement, and his subordinates do not know how to make stone cannon machines."

Li Luo smiled and said, "It's okay, you are also the head of the Craftsman Department, just organize and dispatch craftsmen. I asked Fang Huan, the captain of the crossbow team, to help him. He is very familiar with the stone cannon machine."

Gu Kai breathed a sigh of relief and then felt relieved to accept the order. With Fang Huan's help, the stone cannon machine could be built in less than ten days.

…………

With Li Luo's order to start construction of stone cannon machines day and night, the smart people from the company and the security team knew that the lord was going to use troops to fight the life of the world.

Although I could kill the two Shengfans a few days ago without any effort, it was a field battle on the plains. If I went into the mountain and took the initiative to attack Shengfans, the situation would be different.

I heard that Shengfan's village walls are all made of big trees and stones, and they are condescending, easy to defend but difficult to attack. The security team can definitely capture it, but the casualties will not be small.

It would be much easier if you had a stone cannon machine.

The reason why Li Luo was so anxious was that he had to leave the island within half a month and return to Goryeo.

It has been ten days since he was released. After all, he has an official position, so how can he leave his post for a long time? It has been a full-time one month.

However, before he left, he must destroy the three families.

First, in order to repay blood with blood, strengthen the ram revenge idea of ​​"every man will avenge" and "revenge will be avenged" by immigrants and the army.

Second,... how can we prevent thieves day and night? These three families are "recurring offenders for many years". They are only a few dozen miles away from the immigration area, so they are really hard to guard against. Maybe one day they will rush down the mountain to make a big fuss.

The third is to save people. I heard that Shengfan had captured many young women before, so I must rescue them.

Fourth,... Li Luo wants their supplies!

There may not be anything good about raw women, but there must be animal skins, especially wild boar skins, which are more suitable for leather armor than cowhides.

For these four reasons, Li Luo of course had to do this before leaving Haidong Island.

In the next five days, Lin Biju organized Jurchen immigrants to clear the land, Gu Kai and Fang Huan organized craftsmen to build stone cannon machines, and the security team was training new recruits.

The recruitment of people in various places has gradually increased, and many departments have begun to exercise their powers. Li Luo personally supervised the directors of various departments, and each department gave work guidance ideas.

The first Han immigrants were busy taking care of the early rice they planted and preparing for harvesting next month.

Cui Xiuning was not idle either. She had done two things these days. One was to organize the doctor of the medical department to find a transplant of Artemisia celadon and tell them how to use Artemisia celadon to treat malaria miasma.

The second is to start forming an intelligence team in Haidong so that even if you return to Goryeo, you can still know about Haidong regularly.

From top to bottom, everyone was busy. Under the management of Haidong Company, more than 5,000 immigrants gradually began to get on track, and various departments gradually became functional institutions.

Everything is busy and in an orderly manner.

Several stone cannon machines built by the craftsman's office have gradually taken shape and it seems that they will be completed in three days.

…………

During the period when Haidong Company was born, both the Chuma tribe in the mountains and the fish bone tribe in the Baixi area in the southwest were in great horror.

The Chuma clan’s village has been so overwhelmed by the solemn atmosphere these days, and every fan’s heart is shrouded in darkness.

Everyone was wondering whether it was the ancestor spirit who was angry or the mountain snake god who was angry.

Why did the gods bring about a huge disaster?

Otherwise, why did the great patriarch Jadou, who personally brought more than 500 warriors out of the mountain to hunt for the head, all died?

Their heads were piled up at the intersection of the mountain road at the foot of the mountain, forming a small hill!

More than 500 warriors, all dead!!

The entire Chuma clan had a population of only more than 3,000, and the strong warriors had only more than 700, and more than 500 died suddenly.

Who killed them? Han people? Hairy blood tribe? Fish bone tribe?

God!

The entire Chuma tribe was in fear, confusion, and incredible emotions, and the prayers of the high priests and wizards never stopped.

During this period, more than a dozen Han girls who were preparing to give birth were turned to sacrifices to soothe the angry gods.

More than a dozen Han women were cut off their heads by their tribesmen, dried up their blood, dug out their hearts, pulled out their intestines, and peeled off their human skin... and apologized to the gods in a cruel way of sacrifice.

Even if they don't know where they offended the gods.

The newly succeeded clan leader also did two things after the sacrifice. The first was to gather the remaining warriors in the clan to defend the village wall. The second was to send people to the Fishbone clan to question what happened that day!

Almost the same scene also happened in the Fishbone tribe in the Baixi area.

The fishbone tribe suddenly lost more than 500 warriors. Like the Chuma tribe, they were immediately in a huge crisis and fear.

This is a big thing that has never been done before!

They also held a cruel sacrifice again. More than a dozen Han girls who had been stolen for several months were pregnant, but they were still executed in a vomiting way before the statue of the god.

Then, they thought the wrath of the gods was comforted.

Then, like the Chuma tribe, they integrated the last warriors to guard the village wall, and then sent people to the Chuma tribe to question: What happened that day!

The Chuma tribe and the Fishbone tribe were both frightened and uneasy, but the hairy tribes in the mountains were ready to move.

After learning that the Chuma and the Fishbone Man lost a lot of Warriors, the first reaction of the Maoxue Man was to merge.

The Maoxu tribe believed that the warriors of the Chuma tribe and the Fishbone tribe fought to seize the spoils, so many people died.

As for the possibility of dying at the hands of the Han people, the Maoxu tribe had never thought about it at all.

Unlike the Chuma clan fish bone tribe, the hairy blood tribe does not hunt heads. But don’t think that the hairy blood tribe is more popular than other civilizations.

They are not headhunting, but they... eat people.

We are a cannibal, right? I just ask if you are afraid.

At this time, the patriarch of the Maoxu tribe, Wuzha, was summoning the clan elders to discuss matters in the community.

The slap had a greasy black face, with a pig's nose, and his nose hair was more than an inch long, and he looked extremely ugly. But he was very strong and had great strength.

After saying a few words, he felt a little hungry after slapping. He licked his lips and suddenly shouted to the outside of the door: "Tuosuo!"

"Great patriarch..." The Shengfan named Tuosuo came in.

"Tuosuo..." said Wuzha, "Slaughter a Han man and eat it at night."

Tuosuo smiled, revealing a black-dyeeded teeth, and said, "Did you kill the male or the female?"

Ji smacked his lips and grinned cruelly, his nose hair was shaking, "Kill the man, the meat is chewy!"

An older clan elder said, "It's better to kill the mother, the meat is tender and chewy."
Chapter completed!
