Here is a common sense doubt that Li Mengxi had.

The hoe has an iron blade, so it is an iron tool anyway, so it should be more powerful than wood. However, the hoe is bulky and the attack is also bulky, and the wooden pole is sharpened to become a short spear. It seems that the wooden spear is much more powerful than the iron hoe.

Li Mengxi couldn't tell whether the iron hoe was more powerful or the wooden gun was more suitable for fighting.

Li Mengxi asked Liu Bei.

Liu Bei frowned and thought for a long time, "...it's because the gun is so powerful."

So Li Mengxi ordered to take all the hoes, shovels and other tools in the army, remove all the poles, and cut the poles to make guns.

Iron tools such as hoes are also of great use when marching, such as digging ditches, digging rivers, etc.

But things have to be prioritized. At present, the rebel army has no need to dig trenches or river channels. Farm tools and the like should be scrapped if they are temporarily used. It will not be too late to re-arrange poles in the future.

The gun is urgent right now.

Later, I continued to discuss with the carpenters and found that the wooden gun was probably not a big problem. Going far away to cut wood, cutting the handles of farm tools into guns, and collecting wood from various places should be able to solve the shortage of raw materials.

When it came time to discuss how to make the wooden armor, Li Mengxi still asked the craftsmen.

The discussion in the carpenter camp was lively, and everyone frowned and thought, "I think so," a carpenter scratched his head and said, "Didn't we make a shield? If we tie the shield to our body, wouldn't it look like a wooden armor?"

The principle is the same, using wood to protect the chest and abdomen to provide basic protection.

"It's not easy to make a shield," Li Mengxi retorted. "To make a shield, you have to use wood to build it, and you have to make a handle. It's too slow."

Another carpenter on the side said, "I saw a bowl-like ring on some armor. We also have a bowl. Can we fasten it on the wooden armor?"

Bowl? Whose armor has a bowl? Li Mengxi was confused.

Suddenly, Li Mengxi had a flash of inspiration and remembered that the bowl the carpenter mentioned should actually be the breast shield on some armor, a piece of metal, just like a bowl, round.

The carpenter said, tie the wooden bowl to the wooden armor, eh? It really becomes a breast shield.

Li Mengxi's eyes lit up, "This is a good idea! Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. In this way, we make wooden armor, and after the wooden strips are tied, we also add a breast shield. The so-called breast shield... I can just find something as big as the mouth of a bowl.

The plank was made and tied to the left side of the heart."

"This method is worth fifty catties of grain!" Li Mengxi solemnly declared.

During this moment of discussion, the most powerful idea emerged.

Broken wooden armor can also be used as a protective mirror.

Rotten sticks and broken boards equal armor and key defense.

From this, wood armor improvement technology emerged.

The wooden armor is kept simple, and the method is to tie a string of wooden sticks horizontally. However, if it is tied horizontally, the seam in the middle will be easily cut by the sword coming from the side. In order to further strengthen the defense, you can add a layer of wooden boards on the outside to block the seam.

If there are not enough wooden boards, just pull out some thick branches and tie them vertically. Then, with a horizontal layer of wooden armor and a vertical layer, it will not be cut horizontally, diagonally or vertically.

He was seriously injured because the wooden armor frame was in a grid shape, so no matter how he cut it, it would be blocked by the wood.

In this way, the enhanced version of the wooden armor has come out, which provides comprehensive protection against slashes. As for the defensive power, it can block it anyway, but I don't know if it can prevent it.

Based on Li Mengxi's little life experience, even if it is just a bunch of branches tied together and chopped hard with a kitchen knife, it may not be possible to cut off all the branches.

As for Mu Jia, although the wooden armor is useless and the sword is much stronger and heavier than a kitchen knife, with one strike, even if the wooden armor is broken in half, it can still offset a lot of the force.

Li Mengxi took the carpenters to get grain. Because there was not enough grain, and in order to make the reward method effective, he only rewarded one catty of grain. The rest was given military coupons, and he could receive grain with the coupons in the future.

A carpenter said that there was not enough wood and found out the problem of insufficient raw materials. He was rewarded with one catty of grain and nine catties of military coupons.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A carpenter mentioned that you can cut down the tree. Even if you cut down the tree, you can’t make a wooden gun today, but you can make it tomorrow. This is to find materials.

I figured out the method and was rewarded with one catty of grain and ten nine catties of military coupons.

Some carpenters said that you can cut off the head of a hoe, a shovel, and the like, and use the rod to make a gun. This is another excellent way to solve the source of materials. You will be rewarded with one catty of grain and nine catties of military coupons.

The last person talks about the heart-protecting mirror. This method is very creative and extends to the idea of ​​upgrading and improving the wooden armor. Therefore, the reward is one pound of grain and nine pounds of military coupons.

Food was distributed to the carpenters, and military coupons were also distributed.

When Li Mengxi returned to the carpentry, he saw several carpenters who were proactive, actually holding bowls and discussing how to fasten the wood.

The carpenters were very skilled with their hands. They wrapped the bowl around the rope and then put it on the wooden raft.

Li Mengxi remembered that the carpenters doing odd jobs in the carpenter's camp were making wooden bowls, chopsticks and the like every day, and there were indeed a lot of wooden bowls in the carpenter's camp.

Excellent! The wooden bowl is thick and has the same eggshell dome structure! I don’t know, the wooden bowl can be used as a breast shield, which can even protect against arrows.

It's just that the raised shape of the wooden bowl, when buckled onto the wooden raft, looks a lot like the two women...

The carpenters looked at each other in a very vulgar way and laughed.

Li Mengxi also grinned.

Then, he pretended to be serious again, "How many wooden bowls do we have left? Use them all to make breast shields." He said.

Others may not understand the defensive advantages of the dome's spherical structure, but Li Mengxi understands it very well.

The wooden bowl is really an excellent defensive reinforcement, although it is extremely ugly.

Zhang Jiaobu had been using the wooden armor for several months, but he didn't think of how to improve it. Li Mengxi also didn't think of how to improve the wooden armor, but the craftsmen from the rebel craftsman camp pulled it here and there, and it magically

I have figured out how to improve the wood armor.

During this process, Li Mengxi, who had no idea of ​​any improvements, just asked the carpenters as usual, if they had any good methods. He himself had no hope at all.

However, as Li Mengxi believed, the wisdom of many people will be better than the wisdom of one person.

I learned the wooden armor technique from the Yellow Turban Army, and on my first day in the rebel army, I experienced a major upgrade.
