  Chapter 48 Weapons
  There is plenty of time in the afternoon.

  Because he had to go out again tomorrow, Chen Mu focused on strengthening his plastic mask practice.

  This is a method he came up with a few days ago. It is a cost-effective emergency evacuation method, and the effect is quite satisfactory.

  Of course, it is best to use metal, which will have a much stronger defensive effect, but for Chen Mu, the expansion speed of metal is far slower than that of plastic, and it is also very inconvenient to carry because of the weight.

  Chen Mu even considered making a mobile metal cover with wheels, but because the ground was not flat enough and the process requirements were too high, he had no choice but to give up temporarily.

  However, this idea can be retained.

  …

  Around five o’clock in the afternoon.

  Du Jiajia took over the dinner.

  I have to say that this girl has some talent in cooking. She imitated Chen Mu's movements and cooked them well.

  Unfortunately, the difficulty of making hand cakes is several levels higher than that of rice cakes. The food made by Du Jiajia doesn't have much problem in taste, but the appearance is much worse.

  After dinner, Chen Mu called Wei Dalei aside.

  "Boss, are you sure you don't want me to go with you tomorrow?" Wei Dalei was still a little worried.

  "We need you to guard our home, but I don't have much of a problem there." Chen Mu said.

  "But..."

  "Don't be but, I knew it well. I called you here because I wanted to ask you about weapons." "

  Weapons?"

  "Do you feel comfortable using this mace now?" Chen Mu asked.

  "It's not bad. What's wrong?"

  "I was wondering if I should give you a bladed one, which would do more damage."

  "Bladed one?" Wei Dalei was stunned.

  "For example, an axe."

  Chen Mu has been thinking about weapons these days.

  Before he left last time, he made everyone a melee weapon for self-defense. But first of all, everyone had no combat experience, let alone weapons preferences. Secondly, they were in a hurry, so they made a few spears and spears. Kind of long weapon.

  But now that we know how serious the situation outside is, it’s time to arm everyone.

  Of course the first thing he thought of was Wei Dalei.

  When Lao Wei first started, he actually wanted to use a long sword because he thought it looked more handsome with a sword.

  This is indeed the case. In which story do you think the protagonist wields a mace and a mountain axe?
  Three feet of green front, fluttering clothes, that's how you look.

  In the end, it had to be a knife, and Jing Zhongyue could barely accept it.

  But later I discovered that the story was all a lie.

  In the real world without "sword skills", the long sword is really a thankless weapon.

  And with Wei Dalei's strength, using the sword seems a bit wasteful.

  So Chen Mu made him an oversized mace, completely kicking the good brother out of the leading role.

  And after Wei Dalei got this scary-looking big thing, he actually couldn't put it down.

  Wei Dalei's original height was 1.97 meters. Even in this era when students were generally tall, he still stood out from the crowd.

  And this giant stick with its front section covered with steel thorns could reach the height of Wei Dalei's eyebrows when it was erected on the ground, and its thickness was even more terrifying.

  Although it was made by Chen Mu, Chen Mu himself could not pick it up at all. When it was first made, the onlookers thought it was used as a fence.

  Fortunately, Wei Dalei's strength is amazing and is still growing. He can pick up this big thing with one hand without any effort.

  "I think it's pretty good."

  When Wei Dalei heard that Chen Mu was going to change his weapon, he immediately tightened his grip on the stick, seemingly reluctant to part with it.

  "You haven't used anything else, so why do you think it must be good?" Chen Mu said with a smile.

  "This guy is heavy and will be much more lethal when swung." Wei Dalei explained.

  "This is exactly what I want to tell you." Chen Mu was helpless: "You may have an illusion. In fact, at our current size, the weight of the weapon does not matter much." "Ah?" "What about

  you

  ? So you think the destructive power of using this stick will be greater because you are stronger and the inertial kinetic energy brought by the mass of the weapon is actually far less than you think." Chen Mu tried to explain.

  "Ah...ah?" Old Wei became more and more confused.

  "To put it simply, if you use your mace or the iron rod in my hand, the effect is almost the same." "

  How is that possible?" Wei Dalei looked at the appearance of the two, which was more than ten times different. Can't imagine such a thing.

  "When we hit someone with an object, the destructive power usually comes from two sources. One is our own strength, and the other is the weight of the weapon. Before it is reduced, the latter may have a greater effect. "

  A A weak girl can kill a person with a hammer, but if she replaces it with a wooden hammer of the same size, it may not be possible. The weight of the hammer itself is used. "

  "yes. "Wei Dalei nodded.

  "However, after shrinking to our current scale, the situation changes. The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to its mass. For the same two weapons, after shrinking them, if the speed remains unchanged, the difference in kinetic energy will be It will also shrink accordingly... You can imagine that an iron rod and a wooden stick will feel much different when smashed, but the difference between a stainless steel chopstick and a wooden chopstick is not that big. , there is almost no difference between an embroidery needle and a wooden needle.

  "To give a more intuitive example, if you want to kill an ant with a staple, the weight of the staple itself will have no effect. What really kills it must be your own strength. ."

  "Oh..."

  "Do you understand?" Chen Mu was delighted.

  "No!" Wei Dalei said firmly.

  Chen Mu smiled and said: "You don't need to understand. In short, because your body's strength now occupies a large part, the weight of the weapon will feel skewed. However, after experiments in the past few days, I found that this is indeed the case. Today I talked with Tang Jing I came to this conclusion after discussion."

  "Then what should I do?" Although Wei Dalei still didn't understand, Chen Mu said this and he didn't bother to think about it.

  "Since the weight of the weapon no longer has much effect, the mace is of little significance. On the contrary, an edged weapon will have better effects." Chen Mu explained.

  "For example, a mountain ax?"

  "Yes, although in general, the advantage of an ax over a sword is still its weight, which seems to contradict what I just told you, but from the perspective of not being easily damaged and being a visual deterrent, It's also a good choice for you."

  "It just looks scary?"

  "Yes." Chen Mu smiled.

  "Okay, then I'll give it a try." Wei Dalei followed suit and immediately took out his mace and laid it horizontally on the ground.

  Chen Mu stepped forward and stretched out his hands.
