King’s Kingdom - Chapter 253
The two dwarves tied the armor to the wooden frame, Theodosius gave Vico a wink, and he immediately drew out the long sword hanging from his waist and walked to the front of the armor.
He held the sword in both hands, swung it out suddenly, and slashed heavily on the chest of the mithril armor.
Vico leaned in to observe carefully, Theodosius also came over to investigate, only a few dwarves stood there confidently.
Theodosius probed over and found that under the heavy blow of Vico, the mithril armor was only slightly bent, and there was no sign of breaking. If it was an armor made of ordinary steel, it was estimated at this time. A lot of nails were damaged when approached.
Theodosius motioned Vico to move away, took the long sword in his hand, and posed.
With all his strength, he slashed the sword heavily.
Just listening to the sound of “collapse”, the long sword broke apart under his full blow, and the broken blade flew far away.
Under such an attack, the wooden frame didn’t hold on, it broke almost at the same time, and fell to the ground.
The expressions of several dwarves also became unnatural. Such a terrifying force broke the wooden frame and iron sword. They also lost confidence in whether the Mithril armor could withstand such a blow.
Theodosius stepped forward and squatted down to check the mithril armor on the ground.
I saw that the armor pieces in the place he cut were extremely bent, and several of the armor pieces had even cracked, but perhaps because of their toughness, they had not collapsed and flew out.
Seeing this, Theodosius took a deep breath. The effect of this mithril armor was beyond his imagination. It was impossible for ordinary iron armor to withstand his full blow.
He used all his strength to swipe a sword, and the force was more than two tons. Although the armor pieces are stacked together because of the structure of the armor, they can block more than two tons of blows, which is still beyond ordinary. The armor is three or four times stronger, which is definitely comparable to some special metals in his previous life.
Theodosius was amazed, and several dwarves lifted up the armor and looked at the place where they were attacked, looking a little apprehensive.
Theodosius comforted: “You have done a good job. There are absolutely few armors in the world that can block my full blow. It is very rare to be able to do this!”
“But” Theodosius still had some doubts: “Isn’t it that the strength of Mithril is usually twice as strong as that of steel, but I feel that this armor is definitely not only twice as strong, but three or four times stronger!”
“That’s right, Your Majesty,” a dwarf said, “It’s true that most of Mithril has that kind of strength, but you are the supreme king of dwarves. How can the things given to you be the same as ordinary Mithril? One-third of the fine gold that jumped out of the mithril and was further refined!”
“One-third of pure gold?” Theodosius was a little curious when he heard the strange name.
“That’s right, since the magic element disappeared, we can no longer forge fine gold, even if we use the same process as before, we can’t make it. Mithril with gold characteristics, this is it.”
“But because it can’t compare with real adamantine in terms of strength and quality, we named it one-third of adamantine!”
Theodosius nodded. He was excited just now that all mithrils could reach this strength. If that was the case, the Lanyin Kingdom would definitely gain an overwhelming military advantage.
“What about the output of this third of pure gold? Can it be expanded?” Theodosius didn’t care whether it was pure gold or mithril, as long as the strength was sufficient, he would try his best to equip his army with equipment. .
“Unfortunately, Your Majesty, I don’t recommend equipping this kind of armor on a large scale. One-third of fine gold requires three times as much material as ordinary mithril, and the craftsmanship is more complicated.”
“We can make 1,000 sets of ordinary mithril armor every three months, but if we replace it with one-third fine gold armor, we can only make 200 sets in four months, which is quite a loss!”
Theodosius pondered for a while, and when he thought about it this way, it seemed that it was indeed a bit uneconomical. Not only did the production cycle take a month longer, but the output was also reduced by one-fifth. If only these strengths were exchanged, it seemed really Too good.
Moreover, in the current stage of Theodosius’ army, in addition to the iron-clad Paladins and Varangian Guards wearing three-layer armor, only the Central Military District has a large-scale increase in the infantry sequence and wears real double-layer full-body armor.
The soldiers in the rest of the military region are all full body chain armor with half body armor, which is also the best weight they can bear. If the weight is higher, it will be difficult to run.
If all of them are replaced with ordinary Mithril armor, the load of the warriors can be lighter, which is roughly one-third of the figure.
That is to say, the weight of the armor of ordinary soldiers can be reduced from 28 kg to about 21 to 22 kg, and the strength has not been reduced~www.mtlnovel.com~ The only disadvantage is that there is no super strong chain armor. Stab resistance.
And if it is replaced by one-third of fine gold, to be honest, the defensive ability is somewhat overflowing, and it is time-consuming and resource-consuming, and also because there is no chain armor, the stab resistance is reduced a little.
This time made Theodosius lost in thought.
“How heavy is this set of armor?” Theodosius wanted to explore the difference in weight between the two.
“Sixty-eight kilograms, my majesty, you are taller and taller than others, so your armor used 3,600 pieces!” a dwarf said simply.
“What’s the difference in weight between Mithril, one-third of fine gold, and ordinary steel?”
“Mythril is about 10% heavier than ordinary steel, while one-third of fine gold is about 40% heavier than ordinary steel!” Theodosius also quickly got the answer.
He nodded, lost in thought again.
After instructing the dwarves to repair the armor and make a full-body chain armor with one-third of adamantine gold, Theodosius returned to the study with Vico.
He had to make a choice, whether to use mithril or one-third of fine gold?
After pondering the pros and cons, Theodosius finally decided to equip the soldiers with Mithril armor. After all, this thing is more suitable than one-third of fine gold in terms of cost performance, output, or flexibility.
The production cost of fine gold armor is too expensive, three times that of mithril, and the production efficiency is still low. So many troops in the Lanyin Kingdom can only produce 600 sets of one third of fine gold armor every year. When will the entire army be armed?
If it is Mithril armor, it can produce 4,000 sets of armor every year, and it only takes five or six years to arm the entire army. Of course, this is also the case that the Lanyin Kingdom does not continue to expand its army.
