Chapter 359 (2/2)
Sean will never be wrong about the big event of ”Utopia”.
On the return trip, because there were sufficient armaments and materials, and there was the escort of the fourth level army of Cecilia guards, it was natural not to rush into the wilderness as before. In addition, Sean really wants to know more about whether the impact shield can be improved at present. Therefore, most of the time, he is competing with the impact shield. After all, Sean's deputy is a blacksmith, and in the eyes of everyone, he is still an alchemical blacksmith who can make magic weapons. Therefore, Sean studies with the impact shield almost every day, Naturally, it won't feel strange.
Especially for people like kruma, Cecilia and Andre who have witnessed the defense effect of the impact shield, the mystery of this shield undoubtedly adds a lot.
But no matter how Sean studied it, he even removed two shock shields, but he didn't find any suitable improvement scheme.
This kind of impact shield is based on the pure iron heavy tower shield, which has an extremely thick three-layer structure. If the nail pile system is included, it can even be said to be a four-layer structure - don't forget that when the nail pile is driven, the shield surface of the tower shield will expand again, although there is no thick shield bottom support behind the expanded circle, However, the cavalry's impact force must hit the thickest shield core, which has little impact on the weak shield surface that mainly weakens the impact force.
Although the heavy tower shield is also a three-tier structure, because human endurance and physical strength are limited, in order to better adapt to the physical consumption on the battlefield, this tower shield is much weaker. It is precisely because of the reduction of the thickness of the tower shield that the most important core power source of the impact shield cannot be placed in its center. In this way, of course, the impact shield, which is enough to change the pattern of war, cannot be manufactured.
As for the pseudo tower shield that looks like a tower shield but is actually a large shield, not to mention.
In any way, if you want to make impact shield, you must start with pure iron heavy tower shield. Therefore, in essence, the impact shield should be regarded as the processing or enhanced version of the pure iron heavy tower shield, rather than an independently formed new shield. It can be said that although lannis is very creative, he even inadvertently made something that can change the pattern, but its essence is also improvement, not innovation.
Therefore, after Sean spent more than ten days of thorough research, he can only reluctantly draw three facts.
First, if we want to create an army with the advantage of continental barrier, we can only use bear people or Tauren. At the limit of the current human level, we can't wear this improved pure iron heavy tower shield at all. However, it is not difficult to find out when you think about it carefully, because the heavy infantry who can use pure iron heavy tower shield are all elite or even ace armies of various countries. Almost all of these soldiers have the strength of the bronze peak, and the strength of the officers in the army is even the strength of the silver border. However, with the popularity of heavy tower shield and pseudo Tower Shield, fewer and fewer countries will dress their troops with this kind of pure iron heavy tower shield. After all, the training cost and cost will decrease a lot, and the reduction of defense degree after the formation of scale is not large. After all, when cavalry charge on the battlefield, it is often the time to decide the victory or defeat of the war, Who would take so much trouble to develop heavy infantry that can only defend against cavalry charge?
What's more, the weight of the impact shield is heavier than the pure iron heavy tower shield. If you want humans to use this kind of thing, I'm afraid you really have to lower silver.
Will people with this strength be willing to join the ranks of heavy infantry with the highest casualty rate?
The second fact is that Sean found that it is not impossible to improve the heavy tower shield into an impact shield, but the higher the requirements for the core power source - the first is the volume of the power source, and the second is the efficiency. In this regard, after Sean and Cecilia discussed, he found that it is not impossible to reduce the volume, However, in this way, the impact shield will become a disposable item. Once the pile is driven, it can not be recovered, and the core will explode, so it is also worthless.
So no matter how you look at it, if you want to use the heavy tower shield as an improvement, you must involve the magic guide technology.
This is also an unsolved problem.
As for the third fact, it is the result that feasibility is second only to the first fact.
It's no problem to reduce the weight of pure iron heavy tower shield so that humans can equip it.
Just demonize.
At that time, it will not be a problem to reduce the weight and make the defense effect more outstanding.
Just, is it possible?
The manufacturing of pure iron heavy tower shield is a cost. Transforming it into impact shield is a big cost consumption. Then Sean personally changes it into demonized equipment, and then trains 500 human soldiers who can dress
Cecilia clearly told Sean that the cost was enough for Sean to have a bear heavy army with more than 3000 people.
So Sean simply gave up the idea.
”It seems that we must kidnap as soon as possible anyway... Ah, no, we have found a talent who knows magic guide technology.” Sean's eyebrows were frowning, and his mind was constantly hovering. Who are the magic guide scientific and technological talents that can be found in today's era.
