Thus, a single iron plate alone was enough to equal the entire weight of the wooden pagoda.
"Strange, how bizarre!"
Having finished adding the weight, Hou Congwen stepped out of the pavilion with an exclamation. He had assumed that doubling the load would surely trigger some reaction from the structure. In reality, there was absolutely no difference between fifty and a hundred times the weight.
"Should I raise it to a hundred and fifty?"
"Why not?"
With Su Mo's approval, Congwen bit his lip and waved his hand down once more.
At this point, judging purely by its previous performance, he was almost certain that the wooden pagoda's load-bearing capacity could indeed reach what Mo had claimed earlier. If the material were swapped out for alloy, there was a high probability it would even surpass his own limit of 420 times. This meant that Mo's status as a Researcher was already set in stone. In mere minutes, the two men had become equals in rank.
