Fang Jizhong knelt down and didn't dare to speak, and quickly lowered his head, naturally he couldn't talk at this time.

He knew best what a suspicious person the old emperor was, otherwise he would not have sent anyone to investigate in the homes of these humerus ministers.

I don't know how long it took, the old emperor kicked Fang Jizhong on the ground with a smile.

"Get up, I just sigh, although this matter is related to the country, it also depends on whether Yunmo and Zhou Heng have the ability to make this thing, if this can't be done, talk about what follow-up problems, wait and see what happens!"

Only then did Fang Jizhong get up and salute the old emperor.

"Then the old slave will go and arrange it, but I heard that the corn and golden potatoes harvested by Beishan have been loaded into trucks and are ready to be sent to Datong, and I want to try whether they can be planted there."

The old emperor snorted.

"If I don't send it, I'll have to worry, but it's good to try, if Datong can be planted, at least it means that Zhou Heng is not exaggerating, this thing is indeed cold-resistant, and it is okay to see the results of their experiments."

......

Half a month later, North Mountain.

The construction site of the new workshop is in full swing, and from a distance it looks like it is full of houses, some of which have already begun to install roofs, and the glazed windows are somewhat reflective from the sun.

Zhou Heng glanced behind him, there was an open field, the first flying ball they had experimented with had been prepared, Zhu Yunmo looked excited, and ran towards Zhou Heng quickly with a letter.

"My father sent a letter, saying that both things have been planted, after all, there are still a lot of land in the garrison, especially some of the fields that are uncultivated and almost deserted, this time it is green, and it looks good.

Laifu said that according to the current planting time and the fertile state of the land, the harvest of these two thousand acres will not be less than that of Tongzhou. ”

Zhou Heng nodded, in fact, Datong is also a relatively arid place in the later generations, potatoes and corn are not picky about this, as long as the cultivation density is not large, it is easy to want high yields.

"That's good, there will be people to watch during the planting period, so that the blessing does not have to be driven, the more people know, the better it is, and we will not be able to publicize it, but the cellar should also be prepared, after all, it is said that it is cold there, and the waist is quickly stored after harvesting, after all, potatoes are most afraid of freezing."

Zhu Yunmo didn't say anything, he nodded quickly, he absolutely agreed with Zhou Heng's words.

"Let Pang Ba go to Su Mansion later to pass on the news, and Wang Sanshun asked if the prosthetic leg here has been made, and a few veterans there are still waiting."

Zhou Heng knew that Zhu Yunmo had been to Datong and had different feelings for those disabled veterans, but it was best to make molds on the spot, after all, whether it was suitable after wearing it was really laborious to pass the news back and forth.

"Then tell Wang Sanshun by the way, let him tell the prince, it is best to bring a few disabled veterans to Beijing, this inverted mold needs to be made on the spot to be more comfortable and appropriate, and they won't get this Wang Sanshun."

Zhu Yunmo nodded, "This is feasible, by the way, do you want to make a mold for the old general first?" ”

Zhou Heng smiled, the main reason why he was able to have a deep relationship with Zhu Yunmo was that Zhu Yunmo was a kind person, and occasionally he was just self-preservation.

"Let's try the flying ball first, the old general's wood carving mold has been done, just take him to Beishan later, and make a few more when the time comes, not only the shape should be good, but the counterweight, color and comfort should be good, so that it is suitable."

Zhu Yunmo wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Okay, listen to you, but why didn't you notify me if you want to experiment with the flying ball today?" ”

Zhou Heng glanced at him, this product can't be boasted at all.

"Didn't you find the prince without notifying him?"

Zhu Yunmo raised his chin, "That's it, it's not easy to know if there are so many guards around here, but don't we have to go to more remote places?" The people of this northern mountain, as long as they have their feet up, can see the battle here. ”

Zhou Heng shook his head, this thing is not something that can be hidden, after all, many people can see it after flying.

"Don't hide it, it flies here, you can see it in the palace, where can you hide?"

Zhu Yunmo smashed his mouth, indeed as Zhou Heng said, this matter cannot be hidden, and then rolled up his arms and sleeves.

"I'll go up and try it."

As soon as these words came out, Boss Xue, who was standing behind, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Yunmo, who was rushing forward.

Zhu Yunmo looked puzzled and glared at Zhou Heng.

"What are you pulling me for?"

Zhou Heng glared, "This is an experiment, do you know how the situation is, or do you know how to deal with problems when you encounter them?" ”

Zhu Yunmo suddenly lost his ability, looked around, and spread his hands.

"Then who goes up, will you go up?"

Zhou Heng shook his head, "Shizi still follow me to see, let Pang Qi, Brother Xue and Blacksmith Yao go up today, Brother Xue and Blacksmith Yao have been preparing for a long time, and they are very familiar with the arrangement on this flying ball."

If something happens to this flying ball, at least one or two kung fu will be good, Yao Blacksmith is too heavy and falls straight down, so he has to fall into a meat patty, Pang Qi follows, at least he can help Brother Xue to take care of it. ”

When Zhu Yunmo heard this, he quickly shrank his neck, and in an instant, he didn't have the posture he just shouted, and waved his hand behind him, Pang Qi didn't know where to come out of nowhere, and knelt on one knee.

"You go up along."

Pang Qi got up and stood beside Boss Xue, Blacksmith Yao also ran over, and Zhou Heng nodded towards Boss Xue.

"I don't want to say more nonsense, we have talked about it in detail before, today's experiment, one is to see how fast the flying ball rises, the effect of wind speed on the flying ball, and the other is to try to change the direction of the flying ball with the wind wheel, and try to perceive the speed of the downwind and upwind."

Boss Xue nodded, he was still quite smart here, patting a backpack-like thing on his body.

"Don't worry, everything is ready, we know what to do, if there is a problem, we can open the exhaust vent, we will come back safely."

Zhou Heng pursed his lips, with a distressed look on his face.

"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried that this flying ball won't come back or be damaged, this thing is too expensive, if you can save it, don't give up easily."

“......”

Everyone fell silent for a moment, and Zhu Yunmo hurriedly walked to the front and patted Boss Xue and Blacksmith Yao on the shoulders.

"Let's get started, it's a good time and there's no wind."

Boss Xue nodded, turned around and walked to the edge of the flying ball, at this moment, the flying ball had been erected, and there were four ropes tied below to control the flying ball from rising.

He climbed a few soft ladders, grabbed the edge of the rattan basket, and jumped into it dexterously, Pang Qi naturally followed closely, grabbed the soft ladder, and flew onto the rattan basket with a force in his hand.

This time there was only Yao Blacksmith left, he didn't have such fancy movements, he climbed the soft ladder step by step to the edge of the basket, Xue Boss and Pang Qi used their strength in their hands, and suddenly turned Yao Blacksmith over like a rattan basket, and there was a sound, and the flying ball swayed a little.

Zhou Heng turned his head sideways and glanced at the kid recorded next to him.

"Write it down, the next time you ride the flying ball, the total weight of the person must not exceed the standard of three Yao blacksmiths, otherwise the counterweight will be reduced."

Boss Xue, who was on the flying ball, couldn't see what Zhou Heng said, he turned his head to look at the alcohol blowtorch that was burning on a small fire above his head, turned it up slightly, and the whining sound sounded a little terrifying in an instant.

Pang Qi glanced sideways, but he didn't panic much, Boss Xue threw him a rope.

"Now I tie a rope to my waist, so that if I encounter a bump or a sudden whirlwind, I will not be thrown out."

Pang Qi knew that the two of them were more experienced than himself, after all, they were going to fly into the sky for a while, and he was still a little flustered in his heart, so he hurriedly tied up the rope according to Boss Xue's instructions.

Boss Xue looked down, and at this time, the four ropes were already shaking, and he shouted downward:

"Cut the rope!"

With the shout, a few boys rushed up from below, waved their knives to cut the rope, and Boss Xue adjusted the size of the flames of the blowtorch, and the flying ball continued to fly upwards in front of people's eyes.

Zhu Yunmo covered his mouth, his eyes widened, staring at the flying ball, let go of his hand and shouted at Zhou Heng:

"Did we succeed in flying?"
