"Nonsense!"

This time, not only Shi Lang, but all the generals present looked at Chen Kai in disbelief. Seeing this, Shi Lang even sneered loudly: "This is probably another time when two hundred people of yours destroyed a six million person."

It’s the same joke as in other countries. Chen Kai, I think you are crazy. The eight-petal helmet is made of iron, and your shitty rattan helmet is made of rattan. Not to mention they are the same. How can the rattan helmet be better than the iron one?

Solid?!"

Shi Lang's words are not unreasonable. The eight-flap helmet is riveted and assembled from iron sheets. There is definitely no way to compare with the one-piece helmet. Even compared with the iron-pointed helmet, it is much worse. However,

, Iron is made of iron after all, and the rattan helmet is better because it is cheaper to make, and the rattan craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau obviously have overcapacity, but if it is really about sturdiness, it still cannot be compared with the former.

Everyone looked at people who couldn't believe it, including the ridicule from Shi Lang, Shi Xian and others. Chen Kai smiled slightly, but shook his head and simply said to everyone: "Did I say it will be stronger?"

"Damn it, you dare to play tricks on me. How can you better protect the soldiers' heads if they are not strong? If I don't give you an explanation today, you won't be able to get out of this big tent today."

As he said this, Shi Lang was about to step forward and grab Chen Kai's collar, but he was immediately stopped by the Ke brothers. Even next to Ke Chenmei, Chen Bin clenched his fists, and the joints bulged crisply.

After the explosion, Shi Lang's eyes were full of disdain.

There was no fight, but Chen Kai just stood there, motionless. At this moment, seeing everyone stopping Shi Lang, he even more bluntly asked Shi Lang: "I said yes, but you said no,

How about we make a bet?"

"Just bet, I'm afraid you can't afford to lose!"

"enough!"

Just as Shi Lang finished speaking, he was immediately interrupted by a loud shout from behind the crowd. The next moment, Zheng Chenggong stepped out of the crowd, first pointed at Chen Kai, and then pointed at Shi Lang, saying "two scoundrels in the market"

He held it in his mouth and almost blurted it out.

"How decent are you two!"

With a look of hatred on his face, Zheng Chenggong was so angry that he had nothing to say. After a moment, in the voices of the princes and marquises who calmed down their anger, Zheng Chenggong finally issued the penalty: "Since you want to bet, then let you

Let’s make a bet. If we do this, whoever loses will be fined a month’s salary and that’s it!”

After saying that, Zheng Chenggong was about to return to the big tent angrily, but before taking two steps, he turned back, pointed at Chen Kai and Shi Lang and angrily shouted: "You two, if anyone loses a hair, I will kill them."

The other one was hanged from the mast. I, Zhu Chenggong, will do what I say!"

"The general will not dare."

"I don't dare, my subordinates."

Anyone who heard this said it to Shi Lang, because after all, Chen Kai was just a civil servant, and most of the people he owned were craftsmen. Even the guards of the workshop did not even have a hundred people in total.

Really, he cannot be compared with Shi Lang as a general. And with this sentence, the word "protection" was clearly shown to everyone.

But as soon as he said this, everyone could see that Zheng Chenggong was extremely angry. One by one, they simply found an excuse and left. Only Chen Kai and Shi Lang glared at each other for a moment before snorting coldly.

They left each other.

Zheng Chenggong drew the bottom line, and Shi Lang was furious. Now, he was waiting for Chen Kai's results. This was not just a matter of one month's salary, but more importantly, he borrowed money from damaged weapons.

Whether the action to challenge Chen Kai can succeed will inevitably affect his future status in the Zheng Group.

Here, Shi Lang returned to the camp in Zuoxiang Town, while Chen Kai rested in the camp in Rongqi Town. However, he was not able to relax, but this matter was not something he could do alone.

To complete it, you must find a helper.

"Chen, Chen Tongzhi, the next official is Chang Yifeng, the magistrate of Chaoyang County, and he has led a number of craftsmen from the city to work for Tongzhi."

Chang Yifeng's attitude was very low, and he had been like this since he welcomed Zheng Chenggong into the city. Regarding the conflict between Shi Lang and Chen Kai, he did not want to get involved, let alone offend either one, even if he could not handle either one well.

The county magistrate came in a hurry, left the craftsmen behind and hurried away. Fortunately, the helpers of Chen Kai and others were never him, but these low-status craftsmen.

"I need you to drill two holes in this position and this position of the rattan helmet without affecting the overall stability. Then, thread these strips of cloth in according to the method I told you..."

The workload was not heavy, so Chen Kai finished it that night. The craftsmen left early, and Su Mao also sent someone to follow one of them home. After spending some money, he easily got the word out.

"Threading a rope?"

"No, it's a piece of cloth."

"How much did you wear?"

"It seems like five or six strands were inserted from different positions, and a loose little net was woven inside."

"A loose little net?"

This statement is actually a bit abstract. Shi Lang, Shi Xian and even Su Mao didn't quite understand what the information brought back by their cronies meant.

"Forget it, I'll check it out tomorrow. A broken rattan helmet with a few rag strips tied on it can be more useful than an eight-petal helmet, but I don't believe it."

Believe it or not, it actually doesn't matter anymore. The mystery will be revealed the next day. Before that, they can't change anything. Instead of thinking about it here, it's really better to wait until tomorrow.

The next day, as expected, Chen Kai brought the modified rattan helmet to the Chinese army's tent, and Zheng Chenggong also took an eight-petal helmet from stock, and put the two helmets directly on the same case.

superior.

"What kind of experiment does Chen Shenjun plan to do?"

The two helmets were placed there. Chen Kai stood up, cupped his hands and replied: "If you go back to your country, experiments on rattan helmets and eight-petal helmets facing arrows have long been done. Those who can shoot through eight-petal helmets can also shoot through them."

Shoot through the rattan helmet, and vice versa. The one that General Shi brought last time was said to have been broken by bandits during the siege. So let's simulate being hit by siege equipment during the siege. Well, it was hit by a rolling log.

The situation improved after the rocks were hit."

From a high position, once the rolling logs and stones fall, it is no longer something that an individual can contend with. Chen Kai used such a powerful weapon to test it as soon as he opened his mouth, but Shi Lang knew very well that the owner of the rattan helmet he brought earlier

It was obvious that he was hit by a rolling log and stone when he was climbing the stronghold, fell off the ladder, and hit a rock when he fell, causing damage to the eyes of Rattan Helmet.

"General Shi, do you have any objections? If you think it's inappropriate, you can raise it. You can also find a lighter approach."

Chen Kai was clearly a provocateur, but with Shi Lang's temper, he never wanted to be at a disadvantage, so he simply agreed.

When the experiment started, there was no need to go to the city. What they wanted to test was the effect of being hit by a rolling log or rock on the helmet, so Chen Kai simply asked someone to bring two watermelons over, put them on with helmets, and then signaled to a person named Cai Qiao who was next to Zheng Chenggong.

The guard raised a brick from the city wall and threw it at the helmet.

"etc!"

"What's wrong, General Shi, is the stone too small?"

Chen Kai seemed to have figured out the trick of using words to get rid of Shi Lang, a hot-tempered guy. The latter also raised his eyebrows when he heard this. However, with Zheng Chenggong at his side, Shi Lang did not dare to get angry, so he simply said bluntly: "Chen Canjun is not

Do you think your improved rattan helmet can protect the soldiers' heads better than the eight-petal iron helmet? It's not convenient for my soldiers to use it for experiments, so let the prisoners wear it and try it. Using watermelon is nothing."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Kai immediately frowned, and then asked Shi Langhe: "Prisoners are also living people, and they also have parents, wives and children. As General Shi is so cruel, I am very surprised why he is not with Huang Shuai.

Hong Shuai, you can see in the eyes of Vice Admiral Su and others that you are a natural born!"

"you!"

"Are you two done yet?!"

Shi Lang got angry, but was immediately stopped by Zheng Chenggong's angry shouts. As far as Zheng Chenggong is concerned, these two people are both his arms, but Chen Kai and Shi Lang seem to be born to be irresistible. As long as they meet, they will not talk about anything.

After so many sentences, Zheng Chenggong even suspected that if one day the two of them got along well, he would go out to see if the sun was rising from the west.

"Anyone who resists the King's Master and causes many injuries to the King's Master should be put to death. But since we have decided to let those prisoners do hard labor, there is no need to kill them anymore, just use this watermelon!"

Zheng Chenggong made a decision, and Shi Langzi couldn't say anything else. The next moment, Cai Qiao raised the city brick and smashed it directly against the eight-petal helmet.

The city bricks were sharp and angular, and they were really heavy. When they hit the helmet, the watermelon underneath made a squeaking sound, and juices splashed everywhere, most of which even splashed on Cai Qiao's body.

Ignoring wiping it, Cai Qiao raised the city brick again and hit it on the rattan helmet in the same way. There was still a cracking sound, and juice still splashed on his body. At first glance, it didn't look too big.

The difference. However, when Cai Qiao took off his helmet and everyone looked at it, they were immediately shocked.
