Chapter 285: A Miracle
Li Yang sat in the hanging basket, frightened by the mad operation of Fusu and Zhang Cang, while the people on the ground applauded like thunder and cheered.
Everyone's faces were full of surprise and envy, allowing people to fly into the sky, this kind of thing is unheard of, and no one has ever done it since ancient times.
Today, however, we have witnessed this scene with our own eyes.
"It's amazing, it's amazing, it's really flying into the sky!"
Everyone was amazed and shocked, which was a miracle for everyone and an eye-opener for everyone.
Some children even danced with their hands, pointing to the hot air balloons in the sky, excited and shouting that they would also fly into the sky.
10 meters, 15 meters, 20 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters......
The hot air balloon rises higher and higher, reaching a height of 100 meters in the air.
At this time, some Xianyang people who did not come to the square to watch, and some people have already found a hot air balloon floating in the air.
"Look, what's that?"
On a street, a pedestrian suddenly spotted a hot air balloon in the sky and couldn't help but exclaim.
When everyone on the street heard this, they all looked up and were curious.
At this time, one of them exclaimed, "This is an airship, it really flies, oh my God!" ”
Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
Some people who are not very well-informed still looked puzzled and asked, "What is an airship, and how do you know that it is called an airship?" ”
Everyone smiled proudly: "Of course we know, because there is this news in the Daqin Communiqué, many people have already gone to the square of the Engineering Academy to see the test flight of Zhen Guojun and the eldest son." Miracle, this is really a miracle, people can really fly to the sky! ”
…………
Scenes like this can be seen everywhere in Xianyang City, and for a while, the streets and alleys are full of exclamations.
Suffice it to say, a hot air balloon is almost as shocking to them as seeing an alien spaceship.
…………
At the same time, the House of State.
Now that the emperor is not there, although the civil and military officials no longer need to go to the Qilin Hall to the early dynasty, the ministers in charge of the various ministries are still reported by the State Council every day, one is to report the work, and the other is to listen to the work arrangements of the State Council on this day, which can be regarded as a daily routine morning meeting.
But today, the time for the morning meeting has arrived, but half of the ministers in the National Council have not arrived.
Looking into the hall, there were very few people in the hall of Nuoda. Li Yang is not there, Li Si is not there, and even Meng Yi and Feng Zheng are gone.
Of the four state ministers, none of them were there.
This made some ministers who came to the morning meeting quite puzzled, and asked: "What happened today?" Why aren't Zhen Guojun and Li Xiang here? ”
Sun Jing, the official of the Ministry of Shangshu who was sitting in the hall, chuckled lightly when he heard the words, and said, "Don't look for it, they may not be able to come back for a while." ”
"Oh? What does Gongsun Shangshu mean by this? Everyone asked curiously.
Gongsun Jingdao: "Don't you know, today everyone went to see the test flight of Zhenguojun and the eldest son." ”
"Test flight?"
When everyone heard this, their brows furrowed, and then one of them suddenly remembered the invention of airships and the formation of the air force that had been discussed by the DPRK and the DPRK not long ago, and couldn't help but exclaim: "What Gongsun Shangshu means is ...... Airships were invented? ”
Gongsun nodded: "That's exactly what I said, today I flew a test flight in the square of the Academy of Engineering, and everyone went to witness it." ”
"Test the airship!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately became interested, and one person immediately said: "Let's go, I'll take a look!" ”
With that, everyone turned around and prepared to rush to the engineering institute.
However, just as he was about to turn around, one of them turned around and asked, "Gongsun Shangshu is not going with you?" ”
Gongsun Jing chuckled: "Do you think airships can really carry people to the sky? ”
Everyone smiled: "This ...... Although it can make people travel in the sky and sound sensational, it is another matter if it was invented with the participation of the king of the town. ”
Gongsun Jing shook his head disapprovingly, and said, "Have you seen the airship made by Zhang Cang?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, and one of them asked, "Could it be that Gongsun Shangshu has seen it?" ”
Gongsun Jing nodded, pointed to the oil lamp on the side of the hall, and said, "I saw it a few days ago." The so-called airship is just a huge cloth cover, and a brazier is placed under the cloth cover, which is shaped like this oil lamp, but a cloth cover is made out of the cloth on top of the oil lamp. Hehe, Zhang Cang actually thinks that as long as there is a fire under the cloth cover, this cloth cover can be lifted into the air, how ridiculous! ”
To be honest, Gongsun Jing's metaphor is quite appropriate.
Because of this, after Gongsun Jingdang saw the so-called hot air balloon airship made by Zhang Cang, he decided that it was impossible for them to succeed.
When everyone heard this, they also frowned slightly, and said in surprise: "This ...... How did the airship look like this? ”
Seeing that everyone also showed surprised eyes, Gongsun Jing nodded proudly: "It's not like this, so the official won't go to join in the fun, and wait here with peace of mind, it is estimated that the test flight failed, and they will come back soon." ”
Everyone nodded, if it was really like what Gongsun Jing said, the airship was just a cloth cover, and a brazier was placed under the cloth cover, then this so-called airship was indeed absurd.
The eldest patriarch is so big, I have never heard of it being able to rise into the air in this way.
And at this moment, suddenly, there was an exclamation from outside the hall.
"Look in the sky, what is that?"
"Airship! That's an airship! Oh my God, Zhenguojun they succeeded, and the airship really flew! ”
“…………”
Naturally, exclamations came into the hall.
Suddenly, everyone was stunned.
Because listening to the exclamations outside, it seems to say that I saw an airship in the sky!
Everyone looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and then with a bang, everyone quickly ran out of the hall together.
"There's an airship in the sky? How is this possible! Gongsun Jing looked surprised and couldn't believe that this could be true, so he hurriedly followed......
When I went out to the square outside the hall and looked up, everyone was stunned!
I saw that above the 100-meter altitude of Xianyang City, there was indeed an object floating.
The object, in the shape of a giant ball, was dangling from a basket underneath it.
Gongsun Jing naturally recognized it at a glance, which ...... Isn't that the hot air balloon I saw with my own eyes a few days ago?
It's just that...... How did it really fly into the sky?
At this moment, Gongsun Jing's jaw was crooked, and he couldn't believe his eyes!
"Gongsun Shangshu, is that an airship made by Zhang Cang?"
Just when Gongsun Jing was shocked, the people around him hurriedly asked.
Gongsun Jinggang wanted to answer, but someone said: "Do you need to ask, what else can it be besides the airship made by Zhang Cang." ”
"Yes!" When the man heard this, he nodded, and then said, "Gongsun Shangshu, it seems that you miscalculated this time." Airship...... It flew, and they succeeded! ”
When Gongsun Jing heard this, he was speechless for a while.
What can he say? The facts were already in front of him, and there was no room for him to quibble.
"Awesome, Zhenguojun is really awesome, this is simply a miracle!"
"Isn't it, just with a cloth cover and a brazier, you can fly people to the sky! The talent of the king of the town is simply unmatched in the world. ”
“…………”
Listening to everyone's words of admiration and admiration for Li Yang, Gongsun Jing had a feeling of wanting to die.
Looking stupidly at the hot air balloon in the sky, his heart was messy, because he never understood why a cloth cover and a brazier could carry people to the sky.
It's fucking incredible!
