It was the hot air balloon that caused the uproar!

As the guide ship, the Chaoyang took the lead in raising the sails at the same time, and also raised the hot air balloon - drawing on the experience of the Ushijima experiment, all the ropes of the hot air balloon were doubled, and the roots were tied to different positions with three thick hemp ropes, even if the wind blew off one or two, they had time to drag back.

The rope is thickened, and the ascent of the hot air balloon is greatly slowed; Looking at the slowly rising hot air balloon, the sailors of all ships were shocked in curiosity - they had only heard of Chu Fan's experiment on Niudao, and the original focus was not on the hot air balloon but on how to save people, so when they saw this legendary object that could fly in the sky with their own eyes, shock was inevitable.

In addition to being shocked, everyone envied the two lookouts in the hot air balloon, how lucky they must be to enjoy the fun of ascending to heaven!

But what everyone didn't expect was that in the rattan basket that had risen to a height of 80 meters, the lookout hand of the nicknamed dog Dan'er didn't dare to open his eyes from beginning to end, and he trembled at the bottom of the rattan basket.

Another lookout named Lin Xiaowu was much better than him, lying on the edge of the rattan basket and enjoying the sea breeze - in fact, the two of them were originally the lookouts of the Jinfeng, but the lookout platform on the main mast of the Jinfeng was only more than ten meters high.

"Hey! Dog'er," Lin Xiaowu glanced at the dog's face buried deep in his knees and said disdainfully, "I said you can be a little better, can't you?" …… It's just a little higher than our lookout, don't you? ”

Hearing this, Goudan'er was a little moved, and raised his head just to see the blue sky with white clouds floating between the hot air balloon and the rattan basket, he couldn't help but put down his hands to support the bottom of the rattan basket and wanted to stand up, but the rattan basket naturally sank down accordingly, so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand. muttered, "Fifth brother, this ...... It's swaying, I'm ...... I'm still weak! ”

"Cut! You coward! Lin Xiaowu ignored him after snorting lightly, leaned over slightly and looked at the sea under his feet, and thought about it while watching the fleet sail. The Silver Swallow set sail, and next to it, the Dawn, which looked like the First Fleet...... Ah, I see, it's a two-column formation...... You see, following behind is the Iron Harrier of our Second Fleet, and parallel to it is the Third Fleet, what is it called? …… Oh, I remember, it's called Li Guanghao. That's right! Li Guang, the flying general of the Han Dynasty, said to Fu Laoxian, who taught us to read and write...... Fast! Come and see, our Golden Phoenix has also set sail! ”

The dog was itchy by his chatter, and wanted to get up several times, but he hesitated because of the swing of the rattan basket, and couldn't help but roar angrily, "Can you be quieter?" What the hell are you doing! ”

Lin Xiaowu didn't care about him, looked at the Sunrise Peak Fort on Chengshan Island and continued to chatter. "Wow! It turns out that the Sunrise Peak Fort looks like this from here...... It's beautiful! Like a flower! …… Hey! Uncle He and the others all came out, huddled together like little ants...... It's even more difficult to see on the pier. It's all little black dots! ”

Dogan couldn't help it anymore, grabbed the rattan basket wall and shook the rope rope and finally stood up, raised his head to look down, and immediately widened his eyes, his eyes greedily scanned the beautiful scenery under his feet, and unconsciously stood up straight - the more timid people are, the more curious they are. The first time I stood at a height of 80 meters and looked down, it suddenly made the dog's heart fascinated, and I couldn't get enough of it.

The view from the sky was spectacular in the fleet of fifteen warships - because of the sea breeze, the hot air balloons were actually higher than the Chaoyang at the beginning, and they could see the entire fleet in the rattan basket.

All the warships, except for the two of the Zheng family, had their wings and sails, and they seemed to fly lightly on the surface of the sea; Snow-white tracks were drawn on the blue sea. Then it transforms into ripples and ripples; As we move away from Jeju Island, seabirds come to have fun, such as blue-backed petrels, white albatrosses, and red-billed gulls...... Clusters of sails fluttered up and down.

"I really didn't expect it to be so beautiful on this!" The dog was dumbfounded, and his saliva was about to flow out with his mouth half open.

"I told you to get up and see it earlier, you didn't dare, now you know, right?" Lin Xiaowu glanced at him with disdain and said, "Don't patronize it, hurry up and add some charcoal to the brazier!" ”

Dogan agreed, bent down and picked up the charcoal basket, opened the small door on the brazier, and added steel charcoal to it with the tongs.

Lin Xiaowu leaned on the edge of the rattan basket and sighed, "Our uncle is so powerful, how do you think he can come up with this idea...... Anyone can send it to the sky, and the scenery in this sky is so beautiful! ”

After adding the steel charcoal, the dog put down the charcoal basket and shook his head, "It's good weather now, of course it's comfortable to stay here, if we encounter a storm, our little life will be in danger...... I heard from the people of Nanshan Fort that my aunt and uncle were blown away by a storm that day......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted viciously by Lin Xiaowu, "Shut up!" ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaowu looked down for a moment, and after making sure that no one heard their conversation, he glared at Goudan'er and said, "I said that you are not a pig brain!" Forgot the order handed down by Li Da's family? …… Take care of your foul mouth! Don't speak ill of aunts and uncles! …… Yang Dimeng, who didn't see the Sea Eagle, was all taken down and sent back to the inner wall of the house? That's the son of Yang Da's family! …… Do you know why, just whining just like you! ”

The dog was ignorant by his training, and it took a long time to wake up, "Fifth brother, I remember, no wonder Fu Xian'er repeatedly emphasized what 'for the Venerable' two days ago, and repeatedly explained that this is to let us not talk about the chief and the leader indiscriminately...... I seem to get a little bit of an idea. ”

Lin Xiaowu glanced at him and said, "It's good to know!" …… Remember, my uncle is our God! It's our royal law! If you want to be an official and a half-job in the future, and glorify your ancestors, you will honestly follow your uncle...... Those who think that my uncle is not good, not only can't I say it, but I can't even think about it! Got it? …… Hey, when you're on the ground, quickly take out the clairvoyant mirror and take a look around. ”

Goudan'er responded as if he didn't understand, took out the clairvoyant mirror from the leather bag under his feet, and was about to observe when he came to his eyes, but he took it away like a fire, startling Lin Xiaowu next to him, "You want to die, what are you doing in a shock?" ”

Goudan'er was shocked and shoved the clairvoyant mirror into Lin Xiaowu's hand and said, "Look for yourself!" How does this feel like it's in front of you? ”

Lin Xiaowu took it and took a look, and sure enough, the grinning face of Uncle He on the Sunrise Peak Fort in the lens could be seen clearly.

Lin Xiaowu couldn't help but smile proudly, "This is made by our Niudao Glass Workshop, and I only got it today...... And voila! This is clear, this is detailed, which can be compared to those things we used before! ”

In the midst of the chatter between the two, the task force galloped all the way along the northwest wind, and arrived at the five islands that night.

In the next few days, the fleet carefully searched the sea near Nagasaki, but never found the three Dutch warships, which couldn't help but make Chu Fan wonder.

Could it be that after killing his two ships, these guys ran away? (To be continued.) )
