If he hadn't touched the cold Mingguang Armor with his own hands, he would definitely feel that he was dreaming!
no!Even touching so many bright light armor and chain mail is still like a dream!
"What?! Thirty thousand sets?!" Li Shimin exclaimed in disbelief.
Li Shimin looked at the rows of Mingguang armor shining brightly in front of him, and felt that everything in front of him seemed unreal!
You must know that even in the economically prosperous Tang Dynasty, it was still too difficult to manufacture a Mingguang armor made of hundreds of refined steel pieces!
Most of the [-] sets of armor were exchanged by Lin Xuan, and the rest were made one after another by the craftsmen he ordered in the past three years after the Battle of Weishui.
No way, the level of production of Mingguang armor in the Tang Dynasty was still very limited.
Fortunately, he recently redeemed the assembly line model for mass production of Mingguang armor and chain mail in advance.
Otherwise, [-] sets could not be produced.
The [-]-smelted steel used to make Mingguang armor is extremely hard, and it is formed by repeatedly beating the smelted pig iron to remove impurities after repeated tempering.
The armor plate made of this "hundreds of steel refining" has countless concave and convex surfaces on the surface, which is very good for arrow defense, and then made into armor, the protection is extremely strong.
And because the impurities in the material are much less than ordinary pig iron, the nail plate is brighter and smoother than ordinary pig iron nails.
The generals wore this kind of armor and shone in the sun, so this kind of armor was called "Mingguang armor".

Chapter 067 Unbelievable!
On the chest and back of the Mingguang armor, there are two large oval-shaped copper-iron armor pieces, and they are polished extremely brightly, as if there are several mirrors hanging on the chest and back.
This design has two advantages, one is to strengthen the defense ability of the vital parts behind the chest, and the other is that when in the sun, the metal armor on the chest can emit light, which can not only improve the morale of the side, but also protect the enemy. Form a strong psychological deterrent.
Chain mail, also known as ring lock armor or chain armor in ancient China, is one of the oldest metal armors invented by humans.
Generally, iron chains or iron rings are buckled into a garment shape, and each ring is closely connected with the other four rings, which is shaped like a net lock.
The armor is like a ring lock, impenetrable by shooting, and its defense against arrows is extremely strong.
The chain mail is soft and convenient to wear, and the wearer's limb movement is slightly restricted, which is easier than large hard armor.
And the air permeability is good, and it is relatively cool to wear.
But the chain mail relies on the buckles of metal rings, which require very high strength and toughness of the small metal rings.
Although people in the Tang Dynasty were good at making armor, they had never fully understood the production technology of small iron rings, so the Tang Dynasty could not make high-quality chain mail at all.
It is also extremely rare for the Tang army to be equipped with chain mail, and the number of its equipment is far less than that of Mingguang armor.
Seeing the light of the sun, the world is bright, so the Mingguang armor is the top mainstream armor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin thought about the only [-] sets of bright light armor that Datang spent five years working hard to build, and now he suddenly has [-] sets of bright light armor and [-] sets of chain mail. Jinshan is generally pleasantly surprised!
"Yes. Your Majesty, according to the progress, [-] sets of bright light armor and [-] sets of chain mail can be produced in half a month."
Flying Eagle said lightly and reverently.
hiss!
Li Shimin's body became unstable in an instant, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "A total of [-] sets?"
It was the servant next to Li Shimin who helped him up in time with quick eyesight and hands.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is absolutely true!" Feiying replied lightly.
As soon as these words came out, Yuchi Jingde could no longer be calm!
This news is really shocking!
A few days ago, he went to the Military Weapons Supervision to inquire about the total number of Mingguang Armors in the Tang Dynasty so far, which is only about [-] sets, and it was built in the past five years.This time the Turkic army made a comeback, and the soldiers inevitably needed a lot of armor to go to the battlefield.
But time is running short, and the Military Weapons Supervisor will not be able to produce much in a short while, and he is also worried about this.
Unexpectedly, one hundred thousand sets of armor could be built in half a month!
This is incredible, isn't it?
In such a short period of time, it is not enough time to make [-] sets of clothes!
What's more, there are [-] sets of Tang's top armor - Mingguang armor!There are also [-] sets of chain mail that are extremely difficult to make!
It's just too unbelievable!
Li Shimin was stroking his slightly curly beard. Hearing this, he inadvertently pulled out a few of his beards.
This is impossible!
How is it possible to build [-] sets of top-level armor in half a month?
This is not realistic!
Am I dreaming?
Li Shimin couldn't believe it in his heart, he wanted to pinch himself hard, so as to confirm whether this was a dream or not!
It's a pity that Li Shimin, as the king of a country, still cherishes his face very much, not to mention that he can't do anything to himself!
The guard Ying also had a frightened expression on his face when he heard the words. Other people who didn't know didn't know the scarcity of Mingguang armor, but as a member of the Habayashi Army who was the personal guard of His Majesty, he was also rewarded with a set, so he knew the situation.
The entire Tang Dynasty has only about [-] troops, and among them, less than [-] soldiers are lucky enough to be bestowed with Mingguang Armor, which shows how precious it is!
Mingguang armor is lighter in weight, exquisite and gorgeous, and has high protective power. No matter in terms of material or manufacturing process, it is extremely labor-intensive, material and financial resources.
The cost of making Mingguang armor is also very expensive, so the output is small, and it is impossible to equip the army on a large scale. It is an advanced armor that can only be owned by a few senior generals and the Habayashi army.
This time, all the [-] Tang soldiers were equipped with Mingguang armor or chain mail, and the cost was simply astronomical, even in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, they could not afford it.
That's why the Tang Dynasty invented wooden armor and even paper armor while retaining leather armor.
However, Lin Xuan already has an assembly line model for mass production, so its production efficiency is needless to say, and its cost is naturally reduced by thousands of times.
Moreover, the system had rewarded him with [-] tons of steel and iron bones before, so he didn't have to worry about the source of raw materials. Even if it wasn't enough, he could exchange some for it again.
"How is that possible? That's [-] sets?!" Li Shimin asked in shock.
After half a month, [-] sets of bright light armor and [-] sets of chain mail can be produced, which is simply unbelievable!
It is simply a miracle!
