Chapter 62: Really ascended to heaven
Zhu Fufu is an outcast!
When he brought his wife and son, and an old mother to Chang'an City, he happened to meet the recruitment of workers in the honeycomb coal workshop of the Chu Wangfu, and Zhu Fufu was lucky to become the first batch of helpers in the honeycomb coal workshop.
The days in the honeycomb coal workshop were the happiest days in Zhu Fufu's life.
As long as you work hard, you can eat a full stomach, and you can take the family to eat a full stomach, which has never been done before.
Don't look at the word rich in the name, but Zhu Fufu has not been able to get along with Fu Fu since he was a child, and even Zhu Fufu doesn't even know what it feels like to have a full stomach.
However, since you arrived at the honeycomb coal workshop, as long as you don't waste it, there are enough cakes and occasionally pork meat to eat.
This made Zhu Fufu feel that he had reached heaven on earth.
"Son, you have to know who is the benefactor of our family, and you must be grateful to be a man."
A while ago, Xue Li went to the honeycomb coal workshop to recruit palace guards, and it was at that time that Zhu Fufu entered the palace of Chu.
If you want to go to Liangzhou City, you naturally have to use up all the places of a thousand guards, and the people of this era are generally malnourished, but the helpers of the honeycomb coal workshop, after a period of labor, they have become stronger.
It's strange to be fed, to exercise, and not to be strong.
So Li Kuan's first thought was to recruit helpers from the workshop to fill the guard force.
Although these people may not be able to wield knives and guns, let alone the art of war, they are loyal, honest and simple, and their bodies are strong, so they are actually very good soldiers.
"Mother, don't worry. After entering the palace, as long as I am alive, I will never let the prince lose a single hair. ”
Zhu Fufu looked at the bottles and cans in the wooden shed with nostalgia.
Everything is worthless, and the wooden shed is not a mansion, but barely a temporary place to live; But Zhu Fufu was very satisfied.
"Daddy, don't worry. With me to take care of you at home, you can go to the palace to serve with peace of mind. ”
After Zhu Fufu entered the palace, Xue Li personally led them to practice.
Today, Xue Li followed Li Kuan to watch the so-called "hot air balloon" test flight, and Zhu Fufu, as an escort who performed well in training, also followed Xue Li.
So when everyone was worried about the risk of the hot air balloon and didn't let Li Kuan sit on it, Zhu Fufu immediately volunteered.
"Zhu Fufu! This heater is no better than climbing a tree, and I can't tell what the situation is when it goes up. Xue Li glanced at Zhu Fufu tangledly, although he was still worried in his heart, but he was inclined to agree.
Zhu Fufu didn't talk nonsense, and climbed into the hanging basket directly with three times and two clicks.
Li Kuan glanced at Zhu Fufu appreciatively, and asked the craftsmen inside to start preparing for takeoff.
The hot air balloon is a very safe spacecraft, although the thing in front of you is a bit primitive, but it is not too risky, Li Kuan has a full understanding of this.
In later life, when he traveled to Turkey, he took two hot air ballooning flights.
I was a little scared at first, but after getting used to it, I didn't have anything to be afraid of.
"Ignition!"
Li Kuan gave an order, and Dai Quan opened the valve without saying a word and ignited the special fire oil.
As the most skilled craftsman in the Chu Palace, from beginning to end, the hot air balloon was almost commanded by Li Kuan and Dai Quan was in action.
Today's test flight, Dai Quan is also personally responsible for driving.
If you want to say this hot air balloon, you still have to thank the broken system, otherwise parts such as valves, which have relatively high steel requirements, are not made by using the special steel exchanged by the system, and the quality is worrying.
Once it goes to the sky, there is a quality problem, and it is a fatal thing.
As the flames grew bigger and bigger, the balloon slowly inflated, and everyone around held their breath, staring without turning their eyes, wanting to witness whether this hot air balloon could really lead people to heaven.
Since ancient times, the Chinese have fantasized about ascending to heaven. Stories such as Chang'e running to the moon all tell the curiosity of "heaven".
But for thousands of years, no one has ever succeeded, even an emperor like Qin Shi Huang, who spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and did not find a way to ascend to the sky.
Will Li Kuan be able to succeed?
"It's moving! The hanging basket moves! ”
I don't know who couldn't help but shout.
I saw that under the drive of the balloon, the hanging basket had begun to rise slowly.
At first, the hatred was not obvious, but after only a few breaths, the ascent became apparent.
The bottom of the basket was already off the ground, and there was a man who came to the height.
"Xuanwu, take care of the cable, relax slowly!"
Seeing the hot air balloon take off smoothly, Lee breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this thing is not high-tech, it is still very challenging to get it out in the era of Datang, but fortunately, the start is quite good.
Considering that in the first test flight, no matter who is not proficient in operating the hot air balloon, it will be more difficult to control the direction and altitude, so Li Kuan simply tied it firmly to the gondola with a cable hundreds of meters long, and even if Dai Quan could not control the hot air balloon landing smoothly, they could be pulled back from the air through the cable.
Li Kuan didn't want his eighth-level worker to become a pile of rotten meat!
That's right!
Dai Quan, as the craftsman with the highest craftsmanship in the palace, is really a bit of the level of an eighth-level worker in later generations, and all the parts are completely made by one hand, what lathes, punches and the like, I have never heard of it at all.
"Lord Wang, this ...... Is this hot air balloon really flying? Rifle looked at the hot air balloon in amazement, and couldn't figure out why.
"Immortal art, this is immortal art, Lord Wang, you know how to do immortal art." Qing'er's reaction was not much better.
"With this hot air balloon, if it is released on the battlefield, the enemy's military formation layout will be clear at a glance, and there is no fear of the enemy's sneak attack, which is really a good thing." Xue Li was the first to think of how to use hot air balloons on the battlefield, and he was really a general.
"It's still the prince who is smart. The Kong Ming lantern can be lifted into the air with a hanging basket, and this hot air balloon is actually like an oversized Kong Ming lantern, which can carry heavier things into the sky, which seems to be normal. Wang Xuance looked at the heater that was getting higher and higher in the air, and his face was full of emotion.
I didn't follow the wrong master, with such a flexible mind and a noble master, I don't have to worry about having no chance to get ahead in this life.
"Well, it seems that this hot air balloon is finished, and if it can land smoothly in a while, it will be ready for mass production immediately. Before going to Liangzhou, you have to prepare dozens of hot air balloons. ”
Seeing the performance of the hot air balloon in front of him, Li Kuan had a little more confidence in his plan.
Isn't it too much to deal with the Western Turks and adopt such a dimensionality-reducing attack?
Li Kuan couldn't help but have such an idea.
Soon, though, he stopped thinking about these strange things.
A group of people in the Chu Wangfu were lamenting the fact that the hot air balloon took people into the air, and the reactions of others were different.
