Chapter 41 Bulletproof
"Put it right there!"
"Are you the project leader here? I got a message from Mr. Nine to deliver his ordered items here. Can you sign it here?"
"Sign? Sorry, I don't understand what you mean." He looks out of focus because of the items that have just been unloaded from the wagon.
"As I thought, you must not have been taught by Mr. Nine how to make your signature. Then you can use your fingerprint, dip your thumb in here, then press it on this paper." He took out ink and guide the project leader.
After he got the fingerprints as proof of the recipient and all the orders were unloaded, this wagon's group left the site.
"What is this thing, Chief? Is this ice?" A worker asked the project leader.
The project leader then touched it and said, "I also don't know what this is, even though it's cold, I'm sure this is not ice! How could ice be carved so thin like this without breaking? And this year's winter temperatures were not too cold, it wasn't even snowing, how could ice exist." He explained after touching it.
"Then what is this, chief?" Other workers who were there asked.
"I think I've seen a cup made of material like this at Boss Nine's place when I met him before, and it's not ice. Maybe made from some crystal or gems. I heard from the people there that cups with ingredients like this have very high prices."
"I'm sure the price of this item is very expensive because of its size, maybe more than 100 white gold coins a piece." As he explained, more workers gather up around them.
How much Boss Nine paid for all of this. Judging by its size, I'm sure Boss Nine will use it for the window that he planned before. But I don't understand how to install it.
"Hey, don't gather here! Do your work." He reprimanded the workers who began to gather out of curiosity. "You move all of this inside, put it in an empty room and lock the room. Make sure it's clean in there before you comeback here."
Some workers began to move according to his orders. "Hey, be careful! I will bury you if this thing is broken. This thing is very expensive!"
A few hours prior to this event. "It's been two weeks, it looks like the wall that I will install the glass window will be finished next week or next two weeks. I should start buying glass and window frames."
I began searching for suitable products in World Trader. First I found an aluminum frame with a size of 9 sq meters or 97 sq ft at the price of $ 193, I bought six frames.
Then, I looked for the glass for the window. It doesn't take long to find some glass with a size of 9 sq meters or 97 sq ft in World Trader. When I was going to buy it, I remembered something very important.
"Security! How could I ever forget this important aspect. Luckily, I haven't bought it yet."
I remembered that the current era was different from the previous world. Even in the previous world there were many people who committed burglary by breaking windows. And in this world era, I'm very sure there would be more people who tried to rob this building, and if I used ordinary glass for the window, they would easily break it.
"Some time ago there were people who tried to steal from me, I should buy bulletproof glass to prevent thieves and robbers who will break this glass window. If this place is famous later, I'm sure there are envious people who try to damage it or even steal things from here."
If I'm not mistaken, there are 10 protection level of bulletproof glass—first protection level bulletproof glass can withstand three shots from 3mm bullets, second level can withstand 3 shots from .357 Magnum bullets, and up to the tenth level that can withstand one shot of .50 BMG .
Although level 10 bullet proof glass can only hold one shot, don't think .50 BMG caliber bullet is like a normal bullet. This type of bullet is usually used on weapons such as the Anti-Materiel Rifle that can penetrate tanks in the Second World War. Even though in the modern era tank armor has increased, this type of bullet can still penetrate light armored vehicles or targets such as barricades and concrete buildings.
Of course, I won't use level 10 bulletproof glass here because it will be very troublesome. Keep in mind bulletproof glass is made from different materials, such as Glass Laminated, Polycarbonate, Acrylic, Glass-Clad Polycarbonate or Aluminum Oxynitride.
Each Protection Level of bulletproof glass has a different thickness depending on what material is used. Like in level 1, if you use Glass Laminated, it will have a thickness of 1.185 in or 30 mm, whereas if you use Polycarbonate, it will only have a thickness of 0.75 in or 19 mm. It will be thicker if using Acrylic, which is 1.25 in or 32 mm.
That is why it will be very troublesome to use level 10 bulletproof glass because it will be very thick if using materials such as Glass Laminated, Polycarbonate or Acrylic. It would be different if you used Aluminum oxynitride, because bullet proof glass with Aluminum oxynitride has a thickness more than 2 times less than other materials.
Even so, it would be very excessive to use level 10 bulletproof glass on buildings in medieval times. As now, level 1 bulletproof glass is more than enough. Although they use a sledgehammer to break this glass, it will take a very long time. Before they could break this glass, the guards would have caught them.
It's not easy to find bulletproof glass of the right size at World Trader, but I also didn't find bulletproof glass made of Aluminum oxynitride. After more than an hour of searching, I decided to buy bulletproof glass made from Polycarbonate for $ 10482 per 9 sq meters.

"One more problem, how to install it without using a drilling machine." I have to think about it, there's no way I can work alone at night. In addition to many things that must be done, the lack of lighting is also a problem.
