Chapter 17 Preparations for the Great Hole Lantern (First Update)
In the midst of doubts, the wooden shelves that Chen Mo needed were still erected, and it took nearly half a month, which was the result of his later on-site guidance, otherwise, it would have to be delayed for at least a few more days.
It's not that those people in Hongmen Village are deliberately slacking, it's really such a high shelf, and they require it to be strong, and they also require people to go up, which is indeed a challenge for those two carpenters. Chen Mo is average in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and he still knows the basic knowledge, when his ass is better, he can insist on sitting up, and after coming to the scene to command in person, the speed is really faster.
The shelves are set up in a meadow to the west of the mausoleum, and in the distance is the hazelnut forest, the grass is withered and the forest is defeated, and the four wooden shelves are more and more prominent.
Chen Mo's physique is really special, after more than ten days of recuperation, the trauma on his hips and legs has healed, only the bones inside are still faintly painful, but the pain is within his tolerance range, even if it hurts, for a person who has been lying on his stomach for more than half a month, most of the time, he would rather sit on the plank.
The crossbar has been installed at the top of the wooden frame, fixed on a small section of the chain that sticks out slightly, one end hangs an iron ring, and the other end hangs down a long rope, standing under the shelf, pulling the rope, you can control the crossbar to make left and right up and down activities, very convenient.
Lao Zhao and Lao Liu did the final inspection on the carpenter's son, Feng Bao and Zhu Yihua stood on both sides of Chen Mo and watched silently, for a long time, when Zhu Yihua felt that his neck was a little sore, he finally lowered his head and looked at Chen Mo who was leaning on the quilt roll:
"Shaoyan, now that the shelf is ready, the big cloth bag you asked you to sew is almost done, as well as rapeseed oil, a large clay pot, and a coarse fire rope, all ready...... It's just that are you really sure that these things can fly like Kong Ming lanterns? ”
People in this era are actually not stupid, except that people couldn't figure out Chen Mo's plans in the first few days, after a long time, as the preparations became more and more perfect, some people had already guessed Chen Mo's intentions. Everyone's views have changed from disdain, to doubt, to current expectations - of course, the most worried and disappointed is Yin Shangde, he has already felt the crisis, but with Zhu Yihua staring, he can't make a small move to destroy Chen Mo's plan at all, he can only watch and silently ask the Bodhisattva to bless Chen Mo's failure in the experiment.
As for the change in Zhu Yihua's attitude towards Chen Mo, it was not only because of Chen Mo's idea of flying a huge "Kong Ming lantern", but also because of the contribution of a fan made of wood next to him.
It was a man of six or seven feet tall, with three wings fixed to iron shafts, made of large and small wooden gears connected to a large disc. The two sides of the disc are equipped with the same wooden pedals, fixed on a shelf similar to the shape of a bench, and the person sits on the raised seat of the shelf, presses the pedal hard, and makes a circular motion, and the large disc will drive the gears to rotate, so that the three wind wings whirring at high speed, and fan out a strong wind that is 100 times stronger than the wind fanned by the fan.
This is a masterpiece that stunned everyone, including Zhu Yihua, and Feng Bao even praised such an ingenious thing, even if Mozi was reborn, Lu Ban might not be able to do it in his reincarnation, which made Chen Mo very embarrassed.
"Seriously, Your Highness, we are not sure if this big Kong Ming lantern can fly," Chen Mo replied very carefully, although he had ordered those women who could make female celebrities to glue those sturdy linen cloths into several layers with paste to minimize ventilation, but there was no oil, and he was really not sure at all about whether the heat generated by the burning of rapeseed oil could drive the hot air balloon to fly: "However, Your Highness, you have to admit that our idea should be right, right?" A few days ago, we put a small pebble on the Kong Ming lantern that we released every time, what was the result? Fly higher and higher without any effect...... In the same way, if the Kong Ming lantern is big enough and the fire is fierce enough, why can't it bring people to the sky? ”
"That's right!" Zhu Yihua smashed his fist on his palm, and his triangular eyes lit up excitedly: "Don't worry, even if you defeat this king, you won't blame you, if we lose, we will do it all over again, according to your ideas, sooner or later, one day we will make a big Kong Ming lantern that can bring people to the sky!" ”
Chen Mo looked at Zhu Yihua in surprise, Zhu Yihua was excited, and suddenly saw that Chen Mo's eyes were different, and he couldn't help touching his nose: "What are you looking at?" Is there something on the face of this king? ”
"No," Chen Mo shook his head and said sincerely, "Your Highness's words have impressed us...... If you want the world to be impressed, you must be mentally prepared to meet the ...... of failure."
"Go, this king is not uncommon to impress you." Zhu Yihua interrupted Chen Mo, although his tone was not polite, and his face was stiff, but the brilliance in his eyes still exposed his mood at the moment. Unconsciously, the initial disgust and resentment towards Chen Mo had long since disappeared, and he suddenly found that after putting aside those negative emotions, the little eunuch in front of him was actually quite likeable.
On the contrary, Yin Shangde's face in the distance was gloomy as if he could drip water, he regretted it very much, why didn't he think of a way to end up with Chen Mo before King Lu came? Now, seeing that King Lu and Chen Mo are getting closer and closer, if the big Kong Ming lantern is really done, if you want to take revenge, I'm afraid it will be more and more difficult.
He suddenly became a little anxious, beckoned Yang Qing, who was also watching the excitement, whispered a few words in his ear, and motioned him to go back to Beijing and report the situation here to Zhang Whale as soon as possible, which was a little reassuring.
Since the balloons made by the women were still short of the final finish, when Lao Zhao and Lao Liu checked the wooden shelves and reported that there was no problem, Chen Mo went back to the mausoleum prison early.
Feng Bao still wanted to let go of the horse, and when he came back late, he told him a news when he entered the door: "Yang Qing rode a horse away, our family suspects that he went back to Beijing to report the news, and recently King Lu has been close to you, and the old boy of Yin Shangde probably can't sit still." ”
This is something that Chen Mo had expected a long time ago, and he was not surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Ancestor, don't worry, every time we make this big Kong Ming lantern, there is a cover of King Lu, even if Zhang Whale knows that he can succeed, it is just to increase his troubles, and he doesn't dare to make small moves." ”
"That's right, Zhang Whale is ruthless but thoughtful, and lacks the necessary decisiveness, otherwise, you won't be allowed to be the palm seal of the Salary Division...... With Zhu Yi here, under the rat trap, before your big Kong Ming lantern fails, he will never do anything to you. We're just worried about ......."
"You don't have to worry, even if you really fail, King Chonglu's current interest won't be evil for a while."
"King Lu's young heart is just a moment of freshness." Feng Bao was still a little uneasy: "We can't always pin our hopes on him...... Concubine Wang Gong's steward brand Wang Yanchang received the favor of our family back then, and Concubine Wang Gong's family also took care of her, and our family has sent someone to contact him, so that he can speak more in front of Zhu Yijun and the Queen Mother, Concubine Wang Gongfei gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, at least there is still some weight in the Empress Dowager Li's words. ”
Concubine Wang Gong? Isn't it Guangzong Zhu Changluo's mother? The mother and son will not be treated for the rest of their lives, even if they are willing to say good things for themselves, what role can they play? If you beg them, you might as well beg Zheng Shufei.
Chen Mo secretly smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that it was a pity that because Siqi was angry with Zheng Shufei, with her jealous and hateful temper, I am afraid that Lao Tzu would suffer a few more years of sin in this Zhaoling before he could relieve his hatred, how could he speak for himself?
PS: "Bystander" classmate, first of all, thank you for your continued attention, and then answer your question about overthrowing Li Tianyou - there is still no such bad taste, but I don't know if you have ever read Xun Qin Ji, there is a Long Yangjun in it...... Well, that's what it means. In addition, in fact, even if you want to see that kind of plot, you can't see it, the website is clean, and the upper limit of ambiguity is the handle...... I've been worrying lately.,How to go down the many plots that need to be pushed down in the future.,Let the male protagonist die alone? I'm afraid everyone's spit can drown you, right? Alas-
In addition, I didn't recommend it this week, and I may not recommend it next week, but I hope you will support it more often, thank you!
