Chapter 439 Armor (II)
In Black Moon Village, the research, development and manufacture of armor are being carried out in full swing.
Under this premise, although the equipment department still needs to adjust the design of the armor, the forging department, which is responsible for casting and polishing the armor plates, has basically confirmed that there are no problems and can start mass production, so the work will not be delayed.
As for the equipment department, Zhuang Mengdie obviously had no intention of directly remaking one, as that would not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also a waste of materials.
The method chosen here is to directly modify the original set of armor based on the questions and suggestions raised by their king and combined with their own ideas and experience.
Such a transformation is bound to have some traces of patching, making this set of armor, which originally looked very delicate in appearance, appear rough.
However, Zhuang Mengdie did not think there was any problem. It was just a sample. The value of the sample lay in allowing them to continuously conduct trial and error and make adjustments.
As long as you make the right adjustments and overcome all the problems, you just need to do it seriously when making the official version.
With this idea in mind, Zhuang Mengdie quickly adjusted the armor as a sample, and Zhou Xu, as the "fitting specialist", was undoubtedly present again.
Zhou Xu didn't care at all about the patched appearance. After putting it on, he was struck by the improved comfort compared to the first time.
"Not bad, not bad. Compared with before, I can move around more flexibly."
As Zhou Xu spoke, he increased the intensity of his movements, and later added large movements such as squatting and bending over.
The restraining feeling of armor still exists, but there is no way. Even if you wear a heavier piece of clothing, you will feel restrained, let alone wearing a set of armor.
Of course, Zhou Xu still raised a few small suggestions later on, but they were not big problems, and Zhuang Mengdie adjusted them for him in a few seconds on the spot.
At this point, mass production of armor can basically begin.
After personally marking the latest version of the design drawing, Zhuang Mengdie presented it to Zhou Xu.
"Your Majesty, please take a look. If there is no problem, we will start mass production."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu's gaze quickly fell on the design drawing in front of him.
The armor they are going to make this time is actually divided into two types. One is an officer's armor with integrated iron armor on the chest and combined structural protection on the elbows, knees, wrists, and shoulders.
Because this type of armor is not very compatible with body shapes, if the difference in body shape between the two people is a little bit big, then it may not fit one of them well, and if it doesn't fit, it will directly affect the movement.
In comparison, the other type of scale armor made entirely of armor plates is the soldier armor. Because it is made up of all armor plates and does not have a fixed integrated structure, it is more compatible with body shapes.
At the same time, taking various cost issues into consideration, the soldier armor mainly covers the torso, and local parts such as hands and feet have been simplified to a certain extent. In terms of defense capability alone, it is definitely not as good as the officer armor, but relatively speaking, it is lighter and even more flexible than the officer armor.
To some extent, each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Since they had already successfully produced a set of officer armor, it was not too difficult for Zhuang Mengdie and his team to make soldier armor.
Even after handing over all the production techniques and some things that require attention to his subordinates, Zhuang Mengdie no longer needs to take care of things here.
The difficulty of manufacturing this armor lies mainly in the research and development. How to ensure the armor's protective power while not affecting the wearer's activities? This is the difficulty.
As long as the first successful sample is produced, all that remains is pure repetitive work, and the people below just have to work according to this template.
With the labor force in place, manufacturing efficiency is still very high.
But no matter how fast we go, we can't catch up with the first round of supplies...
On this day, the energy channel in the edge area of the world was opened, and the logistics troops that had arrived at the border garrison camp in advance and were on standby quickly took the logistics supplies and set off for the opposite world.
The whole process went smoothly. Li Ce and his team confirmed that the energy channel was opened many times. Not only did they calculate the frequency of the energy channel opening, they also calculated the duration of each opening of the energy channel.
Now they have a rough idea of all of this.
On the other side of the world, they have already occupied the edge of the world, ensuring that the lizardmen cannot come over and cause trouble, so basically nothing will go wrong.
Truckloads of supplies were sent here one after another. The frontline soldiers who had been on standby outside the energy channel, after receiving the supplies, quickly led the logistics team members to stand by. After they all came out, they would escort the logistics troops and supplies to the camp here.
During this process, as the commander-in-chief of the front line, Li Ce's attention was not on the logistics troops, but on the black shadow that was quickly moving away in the sky.
Needless to say, it was the pterosaur rider on the opposite side.
This pterosaur rider had been following them since the moment they left the camp, all the way here.
Although the tracking arrows of the elven knights can restrain them to a certain extent, if the opponents maintain a sufficient flying height and keep dodging, they can basically not kill them and can only cause some trouble for them.
In Li Ce's opinion, there is no need to waste this effort.
Now that the pterosaur rider has flown away, he is 100% sure to report the situation on their side to the commander on the opposite side.
Thinking of this, Li Ce gave the order in a deep voice.
"Notify them to be prepared to respond to attacks from the Lizardmen at any time! At the same time, inform the outer security teams to expand the security range by another 1,000 meters."
"yes!"
Before the Lizardmen took further action, he had no way to make a more specific response and could only wait and see.
On the other side, behind the rainforest defense line, Soros and his men had already settled down here, and the pterosaur riders quickly brought the latest intelligence.
After listening to the report, Soros pondered for two seconds.
"It just so happens that the big guy I requested has arrived. Although my tactic is to move the battlefield to the rain forest and fight a defensive battle, I can't just let the other side keep sending more troops and strengthening their strength. It's time to give them a little impact."
As Soros muttered to himself, a heavy sound of footsteps came from the depths of the rainforest.
Several towering trees along the way fell down under the heavy footsteps.
Soon, a huge figure left the rainforest area and stepped into the plain. It was a shield-armored dragon!
