Features: Humans are highly intelligent beings. As armor that provides protection for humans, it embodies inventions and creations from anatomy, physics, and chemistry. Its manufacturing technology is difficult to imitate and is listed as one of the "Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages." This book guides readers to observe its internal structure, understand its principles, and create it through hands-on practice to uncover its mysteries. The author has recreated the secret technique of dyeing iron in its natural color to a deep blue without using paint through experiments. Additionally, since it is a "picture-based encyclopedic guide," the author has spared no effort to use some images that were first published, and has meticulously restored the coloring of ancient colorless murals and monochrome ceramics, showing great dedication and highlighting their value.
