Chapter 146: Hot Air Balloon Lifts Off (First Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )
For Zhu Youlang, the most difficult thing to explain is how these guns suddenly appeared.
Moreover, these newly refreshed guns and ammunition are only enough for a big war, and God knows if they will be refreshed in the future, and Zhu Youlang is reluctant to use them unless he has to.
However, the hot air balloon that is only on display in the museum can be used.
It took Zhu Youlang a lot of effort to explain the principle of hot air balloons to Li Dingguo and others.
After hearing this, everyone was still skeptical, staring at this strange thing with a suspicious face.
"Ahem, is there Aiqing who is willing to give it a try and experience it for herself?"
After Zhu Youlang said this, everyone looked at each other, and no one answered.
Zhu Youlang said in his heart that these people are too cowardly, the principle of this hot air balloon is actually similar to Kong Ming's lantern, and he talked so much about it in vain?
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to give it a try!"
That's when the warrior appeared.
Zhu Youlang looked at the voice, and saw that it was Liu Xingming, the son of Liu Tichun, and nodded with satisfaction.
"It is worthy of being behind the gate, the tiger father has no dogs. Wan Guogong, what do you think? ”
Liu Tichun didn't expect his son to come out like this anyway.
He glared at his son fiercely, and then saluted to the Son of Heaven and said, "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's orders. ”
Things have already come to this point, what else can he say? Do you disagree? So where does Your Majesty's face go?
"In that case, prepare to prepare."
Zhu Youlang said in a deep voice: "This hot air balloon is still very safe, but it is a little unstable when it takes off, and it will be stable when it flies to a certain height." ”
As soon as he heard the flying word, Liu Tichun's eyes burst out of Venus.
Oh my God, what kind of evil did his old Liu family create, why did they choose to fly to the sky.
In Liu Tichun's impression, people must not be able to fly. Those who can fly are birds, and if people can fly, then they can't be birdmen?
Fortunately, he has more than one son Liu Xingming, even if Liu Xingming has any accidents, the old Liu family will not be ruined.
Liu Xingming is naturally not a momentary surge of blood.
When he was in Wushan, his father taught him to take the initiative to fight for the opportunity to perform in front of the Son of Heaven.
Liu Xingming has been secretly observing these days along the river, but he has not found a suitable opportunity.
After all, these generals are all his uncles, where is there a part of his junior.
Finally found a job that no one wanted to try, and naturally he couldn't hesitate any longer.
Whether or not he can become famous, Jian Zai Dixin is here in one move.
Li Dingguo's expression was also a little complicated, and he said in his heart that this hot air balloon must be something that His Majesty asked those Frankie craftsmen to make.
His Majesty loves Tessie's skills, which is naturally excellent. But he still didn't quite believe that the so-called hot air balloon could really fly.
There are not a few people who have the same idea as Li Dingguo.
Yuan Zongdi, Li Laiheng, Dang Shousu and others all looked at Liu Xingming like fools.
Liu Tichun was so embarrassed that he covered his eyes.
"Dad, go ahead!"
At this moment, Liu Xingming actually gave birth to a feeling of wind and cold, and the strong man was gone and could not return, and he stepped into the hot air balloon very resolutely.
Zhu Youlang said in his heart that this Liu Xingming is a warrior, and with this courage, he can be reused in the future.
The process of making a hot air balloon is not complicated, and it is more straightforward and simple to imitate a hot air balloon than to imitate those guns.
Zhu Youlang already had a good idea in his heart, and this battle was the best way to test it.
At this moment, Liu Xingming took several deep breaths to calm down his nervous mood.
He sat down as instructed by the Son of Heaven, with several soldiers by his side.
The soldiers outside cut the rope and saw that the hot air balloon was really floating.
"Ahh
Seeing the hot air balloon rising higher and higher, Liu Xingming's face also turned pale.
Fathers and uncles grew smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a black dot.
"Mom!"
Although Liu Xingming has climbed high enough since he was a child and climbed over the wall to go out to play, he has never been to such a high place, and he still relies on flying...
His heart was going to stop beating at the moment.
"Major General, how high are we going to fly."
Liu Xingming swallowed and foamed: "How do I know..."
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the balloon to stop rising and start floating slowly.
Liu Xingming's hanging heart can finally be put down.
He was really afraid that this hot air balloon would rise with the wind and soar up to 90,000 miles.
Then he will go straight into the sky.
"Your Majesty seems to say that this rope can control the direction of travel of the hot air balloon."
Liu Xingming muttered silently.
I'll give it a try!
It's already like this anyway, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Liu Xingming plucked up the courage to pull the rope, only to see the sandbag on the basket tilting to the left. At the same time, the burning basket has changed slightly. The hot air balloon seems to descend for a moment, and then it actually turns!
It's amazing!
After a while, Liu Xingming adjusted the position of the sandbag through the rope, and the hot air balloon rose again and turned in the other direction.
It turned out that it was not the rope that controlled the direction of the hot air balloon, but the sandbag.
The height of the hot air balloon can be adjusted by adjusting the sandbag, and it seems that the wind direction is different at different altitudes.
So in the end, it's the wind that controls the direction of the hot air balloon.
It's similar to how a sailboat works.
Liu Xingming said in his heart, no wonder His Majesty told him not to be in a hurry, to grasp the direction of the wind.
I see!
The wind direction of this generation has not changed much, and Liu Xingming only needs to remember the wind direction at various heights.
He tried a few more times, and he was already proficient.
This hot air balloon is so fun!
At this moment, he had completely overcome the fear in his heart and began to seriously explore the rules.
Liu Xingming is a very smart person, and he has the heart to leave experience in His Majesty's heart through this experience, and he is very attentive.
After finding out the general situation, Liu Xingming was ready to descend.
It is not too difficult to do this after understanding the principle, but Liu Xingming obviously does not have enough experience, and the place where the hot air balloon landed is a few hundred meters away from the time of liftoff.
But fortunately, it didn't float into Yiling City...
When Liu Xingming stepped out of the hot air balloon and stepped on the land again, his mood was extremely complicated.
On the one hand, he is proud of himself, and on the other hand, his feet on the ground feel too solid!
"I'm doing well!"
Liu Tichun rushed over as soon as possible and patted Liu Xingming's shoulder very excitedly.
He really didn't expect his son to land alive. It seems that His Majesty really didn't lie to him, this hot air balloon can really fly into the sky!
Liu Tichun was accompanied by Zhu Youlang and a group of generals.
Liu Xingming hurriedly saluted the Son of Heaven: "The minister is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”
Zhu Youlang helped Liu Xingming up and said in a harmonious voice: "General Liu is really courageous. I have a plan, would you like to give it a try? ”
