Chapter 769 Temporarily Closed
“Brother, I heard you were looking for me,” Shen Yong said with a smile.
Shen Xiao looked up from a pile of drawings and waved at him, "Come and take a look."
Shen Yong couldn't move forward. When he saw the blueprint on the table, his eyes were filled with question marks. "What are you looking at?"
"I designed a suit of armor for you that can block the explosion of gunpowder weapons and protect you from harm to the greatest extent." Shen Xiao explained.
"Ah" Shen Yong was stunned for a moment, "There are things that gunpowder can't blow up."
Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, "Of course."
The thing was given to him by Cheng San. He and Old Qin had already done experiments. This kind of glass was completely different from the glass they knew. Not only was it not easy to break, but it was also very solid and durable.
Apart from the heavy firepower developed by Old Qin, which can shatter this thing, none of his light weapons can.
What’s even more amazing is that this thing is invulnerable to swords and guns, and can be bent, making it an excellent material for making armor.
"No," Shen Yong shook his head, "Brother, I just want to ask, we must set up a special gunpowder camp, right? Can I go in?"
He was not interested in armor, but was interested in whether he could use gunpowder weapons and whether he would be sent back home to farm.
Shen Xiao was stunned, "How did you know?"
The general and his men were indeed discussing the formation of an artillery battalion, but only a few people knew about it. How did Shen Yong hear the news?
Shen Yong rolled his eyes, "It's such an obvious thing, you can figure it out with just a little thought!"
Shen Xiao thought for a moment before saying, “I can’t guarantee that you’ll be selected, but as long as you have a steady hand and a good eye, it should be fine.”
After saying that, he immediately realized the purpose of calling Shen Yong over, and then said: “First, tell me if the armor is designed like this, can you wear it?”
Shen Yong looked at the blueprint again, and now he understood, “If it were me, it would be fine as long as the armor weighed no more than twenty kilograms.”
"Okay, you go back first, I understand." Shen Xiao chuckled when he heard this, and he already had an idea in his mind.
Shen Yong, who joined the army midway, can bear a weight of 20 kilograms, and the others should be about the same.
However, this kind of colored glass is not heavy. Shen Xiao estimated that the entire set of armor would weigh only about fifteen pounds at most.
“Brother, you have changed.” Shen Yong looked at Shen Xiao with complicated eyes.
Shen Xiao was confused by what he said, "What has changed?"
"You called me over just to ask me this question! I thought you would at least ask me about my well-being and tell me a few secrets that I might know. Who knew, people's hearts are so fickle!" Shen Yong sighed in a pretentious manner.
Shen Xiao was both amused and annoyed when he heard this. "You really should go back soon. I have things to do. I'll ask about your well-being next time. I'll tell you everything else I need to tell you."
"Okay! Then I'll go first." Shen Yong's expression changed in a second. After hearing what Shen Xiao said, he ran away happily.
Judging from his elder brother's attitude, he shouldn't be sent back home to farm.
That night, Shen Qingning and his sister Shen Chen returned to Huanxiyuan together.
Shen Qingqian asked curiously, "Fifth sister, why are you all back? Is there no one to look after the store?"
There are people guarding Shen Ji's place every day.
"The city is under martial law, and the weather is hot, so many shops are closed and there are few people on the streets, so we came back to rest for a few days." Shen Qingning said weakly.
Instead, he bowed to Shen Qingqian and said, "Don't worry, Sixth Miss, I have already made arrangements. Miss Zheng will send a servant from her family to guard the night, and we will settle the wages with him."
Shen Qingqian understood that Shen Ji was temporarily closed.
