Volume 1 Frontier Storm Chapter 62 Airship Ascends to the Sky (I)

In the ninth year of Ming orthodoxy, on the thirteenth day of the first month, it is appropriate to bathe and break the house; Do not travel or marry.

It was a clear day, the sky was clear, the sky was cloudless, and even the north wind, which had been raging for several days, was much lighter, and it was no longer as scraping as before. It seems that with the arrival of the Spring Festival, even this climate has entered spring in great strides.

Guangling County Chengbei Military Camp, around a clearing in the northeast corner, a group of soldiers are gathering at this moment, they are all wide-eyed, full of curiosity and suspicion at the strange thing on the ground, that Lu County Commander actually dared to say that he could make this thing go to the sky, they felt unreliable in their hearts.

Flying to the sky, this is a wonderful idea that everyone has since childhood, and the legends of various immortals are known to everyone no matter how remote and remote they are, and those immortals are high above the heavenly palace and look down on the existence of the world. And as mortals, how could they fly to the top with the immortals?

What's more, the things placed on the ground are so ordinary, a large bamboo frame is suspended under a huge sphere sewn from cow and sheepskin, such a simple thing is too far away from the magical legend of flying sky.

So when they learned about this statement, they didn't believe it, and everyone was talking about it one after another, saying that it was just a lie that Lu Zhen went crazy to excuse himself, and this thing couldn't reach the sky at all.

It wasn't until Hu Sui heard the news that the discussion of these people gradually stopped, but the disdain could still be seen in their eyes and expressions. In fact, not only these soldiers, but also the craftsmen who built this airship according to Lu Jin's intentions and left him here are also skeptical about it. Even they are full of apprehension, for fear that they will be implicated if things don't work out.

Compared with this, Lu Zhen seemed full of confidence at the moment, and even in the midst of everyone's discussions, he was still able to drink tea for a long time, until Hu Sui arrived, and he approached to greet him: "The lower official has seen General Hu Bing." ”

Hu Sui didn't mean to be polite with him, and as soon as he arrived at the place, his eyes fell on the thing on the ground: "Lu County Order, this is the thing you painted before?" Can it really fly into the sky? ”

Lu Zhen clenched his fists solemnly: "Exactly." However, because this is the first test flight, there may be some problems in the middle, and I hope that the general soldiers will not be surprised at that time. ”

Hu Sui grinned: "As long as it can really fly into the sky, it is naturally not a problem to make some mistakes." But if it can't be as you Lu County Commander said, then the general soldier won't spare you. ”

"The lower officials are saved." Lu Zhen smiled indifferently: "Please take a closer look at the chief soldier and everyone." With that, Lu Zhen waved his hand and gave the order to start.

It's still the craftsmen who do all this. As early as two days ago, Lu Zhen had told them in detail how to put the airship into the sky, and all they had to do now was to follow the instructions and make all the steps.

Although there was some uneasiness in their hearts, these people still moved in an orderly manner. More than a dozen people grabbed the soft leather sphere that was lying on the ground according to the direction and lifted it up. Seeing this scene, the soldiers outside talked even louder, did they think that lifting things up like this was heaven?

In the midst of the humming, Lu Zhen had already taken a torch, lit it in the brazier beside him, and then took it to the bamboo basket that was now under the sphere, and reached into it with his hand.

It was only then that Hu Sui turned his attention to the bamboo basket. Because of the influence of the drawing, he only regarded this bamboo basket as a container for carrying people, but now it seems that things are not so simple.

After taking a step forward and putting the probe in, Hu Zongbing saw that there was a clay pot in the bamboo basket that occupied nearly half of the frame, which seemed to contain some paste-like black objects, and a huge wick the thickness of an arm was inserted on it.

And Lu Zhen is now using a torch to light the wick. At one point, the flames rose up, and a wave of heat rushed towards them, making people subconsciously want to dodge to the side.

"What is this?" Hu Sui muttered a little strangely.

Lu Zhen smiled when he heard this: "Chief soldier, this is stone grease, which is the raw material used to make fierce fire oil in the army." "Paraffin, which is a name for oil in ancient times, is not as powerful as the purification ability of later generations, but the oil that can be obtained from the surface at this time is still the best ignition thing.

Hu Sui nodded thoughtfully, and then waited to see what Lu Zhen would do next. But the result surprised him greatly, after lighting the fire, Lu Xian Ling actually stepped on the torch, and then stood aside with his arms crossed, and did not make any more moves.

"This ...... Doesn't he need to do anything more? Hu Zongbing looked at Lu Jin a little confused, and the people around him were even more surprised, in their minds, Lu Jin should be busy with many things now, although they couldn't think of what to be busy with. But at least it's not like now, doing nothing, and actually watching the play like them.

But soon, everyone's attention was attracted by the changes in the things in front of them, and they didn't have time to observe Lu Xianling's leisurely appearance.

I saw that the flat, soft leather sphere had undergone a magical change visible to the naked eye at this moment. The sphere, which used to require more than a dozen craftsmen to stretch out, actually slowly swelled up, and there were signs of getting bigger and bigger, and this scene alone made everyone stunned.

What's going on? Why does that thing go up when it's so good? This is in broad daylight, is there any demon law that can't be done? Even Hu Sui was also surprised, and his gaze at Lu Jin changed again.

As time passed, the sphere grew larger and larger, and its whole image became completely clear. It was a round thing the size of a room, and the gap below it was a little smaller, but it was right in the middle of the basket.

In the surprise and admiration of everyone, Lu Zhen gave an order: "You all let go and retreat." ”

When they heard this, they let go of their hands and stepped aside, and their faces turned a little pale, which showed how worried and frightened they were. After all, the change in this thing is too much beyond their common sense, even if it is made by them, it can't help but make them feel scared.

In fact, they didn't know that it was Lu Jin, although he looked calm on the surface, he was actually more nervous than them in his heart. It's not that he's afraid of the change, it's that things won't work out. But now, seeing that the balloon was finally blown up, his mind was completely settled.

In the exclamation of everyone, although the balloon was no longer supported by the people below, it was still floating in the air, and this scene beyond common sense was enough to make everyone dumbfounded. Seeing this, Lu Zhen only twitched the corners of his mouth: "The show is still to come!" ”

Sure enough, after only a few moments, the balloon became more full, and then raised by a few points. And in the midst of an exclamation, even the bamboo basket at the bottom moved suddenly.

By this time, Hu Sui's eyes were already full of brilliance: "What this guy said is really true!" Although it was only the beginning, he was convinced that what Lu Zhen said was true, and this thing could really go to heaven.

And Lu Zhen greeted the people on the side at this time: "Go, tie the ropes to those wooden stakes." ”

Immediately, several craftsmen rushed out, took a few pieces of hemp rope from the ground, which were also the thickness of an arm, and tied them firmly to the thick wooden stakes on the ground.

Before, because everyone was attracted to balloons, they didn't pay attention to these two ordinary things. It wasn't until now that they found out that it wasn't something from the barracks, but was specially arranged by Lu Jin. And after a while, everyone understood the purpose of this move.

The balloon grew bigger and bigger, and with it the power of its ascension, and it finally took off completely under the gaze of everyone full of surprise and awe. Immediately, the bamboo basket underneath was also taken off the ground.

Although the basket was only a foot above the ground, the uproar and screams were still as loud as the waves.

The thing that had been placed on the ground really flew up! There's no support underneath it! This miracle, which is far beyond everyone's understanding, really makes everyone's heads insufficient, and they can only stare at the miraculous scene in front of them stupidly.

Lin Lie also grinned, and Mu looked up at the scene in front of him in a daze: "How did this happen?" How could he have such a powerful ability? ”

The balloon was completely opened, and the upward force generated by it became extremely large, and the bamboo basket also soared upward. If it weren't for the fact that someone had tied them firmly to a few stakes on the ground with ropes just now, I was afraid that they would have flown into the sky.

But even so, this is sensational enough, enough to make everyone fall to the ground.

It is too mysterious for such an inconspicuous thing to really have the ability of heaven, if Fei saw it with his own eyes, it would be impossible for these people to believe that there would be such a strange thing in the world.

At this time, the bamboo baskets had already risen to a certain height, and the balloon had risen several feet high, floating above everyone's heads like a strange cloud.

Lu Zhen stepped forward again at this time, pulled under the bamboo basket, and untied a rope ladder tied to it: "General Hu Bing, now there are people on it." Then control the length of the rope below to adjust the height of the airship, and as long as the flame in it is not extinguished, it can keep it floating in the air. I wonder who would dare to board this airship with me and enjoy the different scenery on it? As he spoke, Lu Jin's gaze quickly swept to the surrounding soldiers.
