Chapter 50 Armor
Wei Dalei got new equipment, and it was a time when it was full of freshness. He held an ax in one hand and a shield in the other, constantly performing actions such as charging, swinging, slashing and blocking.
Because of his huge body and exaggerated weapons and equipment, he looks very cool, giving people the feeling of a monster running rampant.
Everyone stood not far away, just looking at him, laughing and applauding.
"I thought you would make a suit of armor for everyone."
He Ying is a newcomer and still has many questions about this team. Although Chen Mu doesn't talk much, he is very easy-going. It seems easier to communicate with him. On the contrary, he is the same person. Girls Dong Junwei and Tang Jing put a certain amount of pressure on her.
"Armor?" Chen Mu smiled and said, "I have indeed considered it, but it may take a while." "
Why? I think it's better than a shield."
"It's useless, I also want a submachine gun. , even crossbows can do it, but it really can't be done." Chen Mu was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Is armor difficult to make?" He Ying looked puzzled,
"If it's just an iron bucket to wrap the body, it's certainly not difficult, but what's the use?" Chen Mu spread his hands.
Tang Jing suddenly walked over at this time and seemed to have heard the conversation between the two. She smiled and added: "We have also discussed this issue. Chen Mu even made several prototypes of armor, but in the end he had no choice but to give up." He
Yingjian Tang Jing came over, her expression immediately became more formal, and she was no longer as relaxed as before. She asked seriously: "Is it because it is difficult to make?"
Chen Mu nodded: "It is indeed difficult, just because of the differences between the components. I tried the connectors more than a dozen times, but I couldn't make them both flexible and strong. In addition, the armor that protects the body needs to fit the human body as much as possible, which is also very difficult. Armor with poor craftsmanship is very difficult to wear when worn. You might have scratched yourself to pieces before the fight even started." "
If you just wear goggles, helmets, knee pads, etc., you can do it, but those things are really of limited use." "Why?" He
Yingbu untie.
"If you encounter a centipede, unless you have armor like Iron Man, what problem do you think a helmet can solve? Our best way is to quickly return to the room and lock the door. At that time, the armor on our body will become A burden."
"But our enemies are still humans." He Ying's experience was obviously different from that of Chen Mu and others. Gu Ping and Luo Hui both died in the mouths of birds and insects, while her companions were all killed. People killed.
"Indeed, armor is indeed useful in human-to-human battles, but I guess that kind of crude defense is not as good as a shield. Moreover, the most important thing is that we don't need to attack the enemy in close quarters." "
No. Need to get close?"
"You will know this soon." Tang Jing gave up for a while.
Regarding armor, Chen Mu and others did discuss it.
Tang Jing's point of view is that before the craftsmanship reaches a certain level, armor is a drag on people, especially for members like them who do not need to go out. When they have grenades and houses, they only need a few shields. Just deal with some long-range throwing attacks.
Chen Mu had some thoughts of his own, but it would be difficult to implement them before his ability reached a certain level, so he didn't say much.
With the addition of Tang Jing, He Ying was no longer so careless when asking questions. Soon, after Wei Dalei stopped, Dong Junwei and others also came to the three of them.
I heard that the issue of armor was being discussed, and everyone was very interested.
All kinds of strange ideas emerged in an endless stream.
...
When going to bed at night, He Ying naturally went to the girls' room, and the boys' side, with Sun Yuan, was obviously a lot more lively. This guy is a flattering machine, and he can flatter everyone, but there is another one here. Chang Junyan is also funny, the two of them have the same chemistry, and they can't stop talking once they start talking.
It wasn't until Wei Dalei proposed to separate the beds between the two of them that things finally stopped.
Before going to bed, Chen Mu took the time to make a few shields suitable for ordinary people. But because he had to go out tomorrow, he did not dare to do it too late, so he only made five thin stainless steel shields and stopped.
Just when I was about to sleep, I suddenly remembered something.
Without disturbing others, he quietly walked to the place where the materials were stored and took out a small piece of stainless steel...
...
early the next morning.
Chen Mu still followed his biological clock and got up early, but found that He Ying was earlier than him, and it looked like she had just finished her morning exercises.
"I'm used to early exercise."
"Yeah." Thinking of the other person's expertise in sports, Chen Mu didn't find it strange. He said half-jokingly: "You can't interrupt morning exercises in the last days. Your self-discipline is quite impressive." He Ying smiled
slightly He smiled and then sighed: "Everything has changed now. If I don't insist on this anymore, I feel like I can't find the meaning of living." "Does living
still need meaning?"
"Don't you? "He Ying asked back.
"I don't know. I've always only known how to live, but the meaning... I haven't really thought about it."
Because of his background, Chen Mu rarely set any lofty ideals.
Today's social welfare is pretty good. Even an orphan like him has no problem surviving, but the material conditions are obviously not comparable to those of ordinary high school students.
Perhaps because his starting point is too low, Chen Mu's goals are usually very practical, such as doing more work today so that he can add an extra pork chop to his lunch.
Chen Mu couldn't understand the fact that He Ying needed to rely on morning exercises to remind herself of the meaning of life.
It was rare for him to reveal his true feelings to others, and he seemed not used to it, so he immediately changed the subject and said: "We will leave at about 8 o'clock, and there is still an hour and a half. If there is anything that needs to be prepared, you can finish it during this time. Of course, you can also go Just catch up on some sleep."
He Ying smiled and said, "No need."
Suddenly he seemed to realize a problem and asked, "How do you judge the time?"
"Generally, it's based on feeling. If you need accurate time, just We're looking for Tang Jing."
"How did she know?"
"It's said to be calculated from the date and the position of the sun."
"That's amazing." He Ying was speechless.
"Right." Chen Mu smiled: "Tang Jing is probably the biggest contributor to us being able to get to this point." "What about
you?"
"Me?... I'm just a tool." Chen Mu said. Spread your hands.
He Ying burst into laughter.
"I almost forgot." Chen Mu said suddenly, and then walked quickly back to his room. When he came back, he already had a long object in his hand.
"It's for you."
He Ying took it in his hand.
He looked down at this thing doubtfully.
Subsequently.
His eyes lit up.
