The second group still has hook swords on one side and willow swords on the other.

At the command, the two sides clashed. The one holding the wooden sword swung down with a vertical crack this time. The one with the sword hook hurriedly subconsciously used the hook blade to hook a semi-circular hook, which diverted the opponent's vertical slash. However, the opponent quickly counterattacked and drew his sword.

A sword thrust came, but the hooked sword was unable to defend himself and was hit in the chest.

I don’t know what this second fight can mean. Anyway, when the final data reaches a certain level, the patterns will be completely revealed.

The test continued, with people from both sides constantly coming on stage, and hook swords constantly being blocked successfully or failed. Li Mengxi recorded every success or failure on the form.

By the twenty-fourth person, the two sides were fighting on the field, and the cast iron hook sword broke. Although it was considered that the test block needed to be bumped, and the cast iron was too fragile to withstand bumps, although it was considered to use a soft willow weapon for the test, the test still failed.

There will inevitably be damage.

In the twenty-fourth game, the weapon was damaged, so the two sides changed their weapons and fought again. They tested again. The hook sword hooked the enemy's weapon back and forth many times, and was finally hit.

The first type of hook sword [hook blade size] variable, for a single sword, two hundred people tested it two hundred times, and Li Mengxi recorded two hundred sets of data.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then, hook sword versus short sword, and another two hundred sets of data.

It's 200 for the spear and 200 for the long-handled knife.

Although the data is far from sufficient, through the collection of these preliminary data, Li Mengxi has seen certain patterns. It seems that the success rate of hook swords against spears is not very good, but the success rate against long-handled knives is better.

The hook sword has a better blocking rate against short soldiers.

This first sample has measured data of eight hundred. This is still the first sample of a variable [hook blade size]. Later, there are dozens of different types of hook blades from large to small.

.

Then, the test of the second sample began. The hook edge of the second sample was a little smaller than the previous one.

In the second long round of testing, no changes can be seen in the data.

Then, in the third round, the hook blade became smaller.

The fourth round, no matter how small, the fifth round, the sixth round, the seventh round...

As the changes gradually accumulated, slowly, the changes began to become apparent.

When it reaches the thirty-first sample, the size of the hook blade at this time is already as small as a palm compared to the giant question mark-shaped hook blade at the beginning.

On the field, a soldier was holding a palm with a long hook blade, fighting with the other soldier holding a wooden sword. The wooden sword thrust forward, and the hook blade was randomly pulled and pushed, and the wooden sword was stuck. The two swords were wrestling, and the hook blade was stuck.

A random twisting action actually broke the wooden sword.

Li Mengxi didn't know how to use the hook sword at all, but now he has tested it out. When the hook blade is small enough, it is like a pair of pliers, and it is easy to pin the opponent's sword casually.

And if the sword-hooking dog is as big as a question mark, it won't be able to lock the enemy's sword.

The test is not finished yet, but it seems that something has been detected.

Further down, the hook blade of the hook sword continues to shrink, until it is no longer much bigger than a butcher's meat hook. I don't know whether this smallest number one hook blade is good or not, but it is the smallest group of hook blades.

In duels with common weapons such as swords, daggers, spears, and long-handled knives, there were as many as two hundred sets of data on each type of weapon duel, and eight hundred data were recorded. Li Mengxi recorded them all.

There are thirty samples involving the variable of hook blade size. Each sample needs to test 800 pieces of data. A total of 24,000 groups have been tested. Although there are others to help and share a lot of recording tasks, we can wait until the test is completed.

It's getting dark.

Li Mengxi rubbed his sore neck and had no choice but to suspend the test.

When they returned to the city, Liu Guan, Zhang and others were waiting for Li Mengxi at the city gate. They asked Li Mengxi with concern.

Li Mengxi was very silent. He asked several people if anyone knew how to perform the test, but no one understood.

Li Mengxi also felt helpless. Every time he wanted to test something, he had to do tens of thousands of tests. This was true when testing papermaking, and when preparing sweet and sour sauce to make sweet and sour fish. At that time, hundreds of kinds of sugar and vinegar were mixed.

Not to mention the ratio, not to mention testing the strength of paper, hundreds of plants and herbs were used to make paper, dozens of sheets of each type of paper were made, and then soil pellets of different sizes were dropped from a height, and the test was completed tens of thousands of times.

Based on the strength data of all common herbal papers, it was found that the toughest one is mulberry paper, and then the paper armor came into being.

Li Mengxi wished that someone could share the arduous testing task, but it seemed that he was the only one who could do it.

Another day, the fourth day of making hook swords.

After four days of busy work, even the shape of the hook sword has not been determined. Not only are a few of them not yet determined, but less than a quarter of the test is completed.

After testing the hook size data of the hook sword yesterday, today we will measure the angle of the hook blade.

There are fifty samples today, and each of the fifty samples has a different blade angle, ranging from outward opening to inward retraction.

It is still a tedious and arduous test, and it is still a sample against four commonly used weapons to obtain 800 sets of data.

As the test progressed, groups of data were recorded, and the number of broken cast iron hook swords also continued to increase, and they had already accumulated in a small pile.

The change in data will not be obvious. The angle of the hook blade is shrinking little by little, and the success rate of blocking cannot be seen to change for the time being, but the changes are gradually accumulating.

Finally, when the hook blade gradually changed from outward to right angle to inward, Li Mengxi clearly found that the data began to get better.

In the end, when the hook blade was almost inward, Li Mengxi found that the data seemed to have gotten much worse.

I vaguely feel that if the hook blade is too wide or too retracted, it will not be conducive to hooking and blocking the enemy's weapon. There must be an optimal solution, but I don't know which one is the optimal solution. I just need to sort out the data.

Fifty samples, one sample tested 800 groups, and the data obtained was 40,000.

Finally, measure the shape, distance, length of the crescent hand guard, and measure the shape of the handle. The subsequent tests are much simpler, but there are still tens of thousands of tests in total.

All the tests ended before dark that day. The tests were completed. Eighty percent of the six thousand hook swords of various specifications cast for the test were broken. The damaged hook swords were piled up together and formed a hill. It was very shocking.

.

Data sorting is troublesome. There are tens of thousands of data that need to be sorted, summarized and compared. This task is staggeringly large.

When Li Mengxi stayed up late and was busy processing, he really wanted an office software. If there was an office software, the data could be input in one click and the size would be displayed directly. There would be no need to calculate one by one.

It took more than a hundred people and spent a whole night to compile all the data twice. By daybreak, the calculation was still not complete because the data did not match up and there were errors in the middle.

I had no choice but to count it a third time.

The damning result was that the third time was different from the first two times, and Li Mengxi was so angry that he wanted to curse.

"Please be careful. You've been working hard for a long time. If you make a mistake, all your work will be in vain."

This extremely troublesome data collection was basically error-free until the sixth time.

Comparing all the data, Li Mengxi compared the test data of groups of samples. He was surprised to find that many of the data were fluctuating.

For example, in the sample of the variable [Hook Blade Size], when the hook blade is too large, the data of hooking the enemy weapon is very high, but not the highest. The highest data is in the middle. After passing the peak value, the hook blade becomes larger and smaller.

The smaller it is, the harder it is to hook it.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, the variable [hook blade angle] is also that when the hook blade angle is large, the hooking rate is low, and the highest hooking rate is in the middle data.

When the hook blade retracts too much, the probability of locking the opponent's weapon decreases sharply.

After comparing all tens of thousands of data, the optimal shape of the hook sword was finally determined.

Li Mengxi followed it and read it.

"In terms of hook blade size, the hook blade looks square but not square, round but not round, three and a half inches wide and five inches long. At this time, the total number of enemy swords, short knives, long spears and long-handled knives can be hooked."

Having said this, Li Mengxi frowned. He glanced at the data recorded in front of him and said to another data, "However, although it is three inches wide, two inches long, and five inches long, the total is the best, but it is not the best for short soldiers, it is not the best for short soldiers.

For short soldiers, it is best to have a width of three inches and a length of five inches and seven."

"So, I have a question at this time. Is the hook sword the most important thing to block all swords, or is it more important to block knives and the sword is short?"

Li Mengxi looked at Jian Yong, the head of the eucalyptus, and asked, "Mr. Jian Yong, which one would you choose?"

Jian Yong hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said with a smile, "Anyone will do."

"...Okay." Although Jian Yong said either one was fine, Li Mengxi was in a dilemma.

Anyway, from the data point of view, the best shape to protect against short soldiers and the best shape to protect against all weapons are different.

If the data is correct, that is.

The hook sword is a special sword. The sword is used for self-defense. Self-defense weapons seem to be more often used in narrow places, such as alleys and houses. In these places, enemies mostly use swords and long weapons.

It cannot be opened, so from a practical point of view, it seems that the hook sword's ability to defend against short-range soldiers is more important.

But perhaps defense against long soldiers is more important, because there is no disadvantage in a duel between swords and short soldiers. When defending yourself, you are not afraid of the opponent's sword, but afraid of the opponent's long sword and spear, which has a length advantage. Therefore, self-defense swords are actually good against long soldiers.

Ability is more important.

In a dilemma, Li Mengxi didn't know which one to choose, so he simply didn't choose. He made both shapes.

"Here is the angle of the hook blade. It is measured that the hook blade hooks inward, and the hook is approximately 30 degrees, which is the best.

Smaller than this, larger than this, they are all slightly weaker.”

Li Mengxi found the corresponding pattern and showed the picture of the thirty-degree hook blade to everyone. Everyone passed it around to look at it, and Zhang Fei said it looked like a tiger's half-open mouth.

When Zhang Fei said this, everyone said it looked like him.

(Huh?) Li Mengxi was quite surprised. He couldn't imagine what a tiger's mouth looked like.

Zhang Fei took the pen and drew a tiger's jaw shape with just two strokes next to the drawing. Comparing this, Li Mengxi understood.

The retracted shape of the hook blade looks like a half-open tiger's mouth. Especially, coupled with the inverted teeth of the hook blade, the inverted teeth look like tiger teeth.

Is this a coincidence, or is it inadvertently consistent with the structure of bionics? Li Mengxi was thoughtful.

Let’s ignore bionics. Anyway, assuming that a single set of 800 data is enough, assuming that there is no problem with the data, the hook blade with an internal hook of 30 degrees is the best for hooking the opponent’s weapon. Above or below this degree, the data will be
To be continued...
