12-64 Flying over the top

On August 10, the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, the Beijing Division suddenly fell into the sky, the Jinyi Guard Prison was completely destroyed, more than 1,000 people were missing, and the casualties were tens of thousands.

When the traitorous party was chaotic, the emperor was not diligent in political affairs, etiquette collapsed, and foreign enemies arose. The scholars of the world thought that this was a sign of heaven's damnation, and the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty in 267 years had been exhausted.

According to the description of the survivors not far from the scene of the incident, the sky was clear that morning, and suddenly a huge thunder was heard, and the moans shook the heavens and the earth, and a black cloud covering the sky and the earth surged above the Jinyi Guard Prison in the southwest of the capital, and after a while, there were several loud noises, the sky collapsed, and a gust of wind swept in, and the witness was from Fujian. He has seen the severity of the typhoon, according to his description, this wind is comparable to the most powerful typhoon, the roofs close to the edict prison have all been lifted, the trees have been uprooted, even the houses more than ten miles away, the glass windows are broken, the courtyard walls of the houses have cracks, the people have broken their arms and feet, and those who are lucky enough to survive are also scattered, embarrassed.

This is a more objective description, there are more evil sayings, such as a certain official of the Ministry of Officials went out to pay respects, suddenly a loud noise, his head flew up and disappeared, the next day in Lishui appeared, and a certain female guest sat in the sedan chair and walked well, suddenly a strange wind, the top of the sedan chair was lifted, the whole body clothes were gone, and the person was still naked in the sedan chair, those who disappeared also said, saying that it was a bloody rain near the temple, and countless stumps and broken flesh fell from the sky, and its condition was very miserable, and these appalling news were mostly false, Most of the subsequent incidents were caused by gangsters who took advantage of the chaos to murder officials, steal property, and steal flowers.

After the incident, the officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison immediately observed the celestial phenomena, hoping to find out some clues, but the scene in the sky made them even more frightened, only to see a breath of qi straight up to the sky, and the air mass in the sky was twisted into a mess, evolving into all kinds of strange shapes, some like messy silk, some like Ganoderma lucidum, colorful, strange, and gradually dispersed after a long time.

When the explosion was born, Zhu Youxiao was studying the drawings in the Qianqing Palace, and suddenly the hall shook, he didn't know what was going on, so he was so frightened that he rushed out of the door, and went straight to the provincial bow hall, all the guards and eunuchs were at a loss, only a personal attendant ran over, and happened to be hit by the glazed tiles flying down from the provincial bow hall, and his brain burst to death on the spot, and the brain of Bai Huahua splashed Zhu Youxiao's body, so frightened that he was scattered, and he went under the table and never dared to come out.

The news of the heavenly punishment quickly spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, from the princes and princes to the common people of Li were shocked and panicked. Some of the imperial histories of the Donglin Department have written to ask the emperor Kuang to correct the evils of the times, revitalize the dynasty, pro-virtuous ministers, and far villains, which means to reactivate Qian Qianyi and remove Wei Zhongxian's position, only in this way can the anger of God be eliminated, if Zhu Youxiao can really see these twists and turns, out of fear of unknown things, maybe he will really issue an edict to dismiss Wei Zhongxian and others, but it just so happens that the emperor is bedridden because of fright, but he is more dependent on Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian looked at the recital, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if someone took advantage of this matter to bring down himself, it would be too easy, in order to keep power, he had to kill the killer, and ordered the Jinyi guard to kill the imperial historians who wrote the book, and since then the last meager force that can balance Wei Zhongxian has also been lost.

This catastrophe directly affected the normal operation of everything in the capital and even in the south of the Yangtze River, the officers and men did not dare to patrol the streets, the officials took leave one after another and left, the six departments were basically paralyzed, and the radio towers on the Purple Mountain also collapsed, unable to receive telegrams from the Western Regions and the northern Xinjiang. Those military rations and equipment that should be transported to the frontier were piled up at the station dock and no one cared about them, and the entire capital was completely out of control, and no one had the energy to care about the anti-thieves of the Heaven and Earth Society, Liu Ziguang's remnants.

In Nagasaki, the torrential rain continued, the wind also rose, the sea was turbid, all the ships took refuge in the harbor, the sailors went ashore to take shelter from the wind, and from time to time the wooden houses of the Japanese people were blown down by the wind, and countless people were affected.

The official residence of the marshal, this is a brick and stone building, so it is not afraid of strong winds and rains, even so, the doors and windows are reinforced, and the sound of rain and thunder outside the window is endless, and the wind howls angrily.

"Dashuai, during the typhoon, ships can't go to sea."

"Dashuai, the coal stock has bottomed out, there is not much fire oil, and the existing fuel is only enough for 20% of the ships to use for a single voyage."

"Dashuai, there is not much grain in stock, only the last container of canned food is left, and the rice is almost at the bottom."

"Dashuai, the soldiers are not accustomed to the water and soil, and many people vomit and diarrhea after eating sashimi, and they can't go on the expedition."

"Dashuai, the telegraph tower was struck by lightning and has been damaged and unusable, and the news from the Central Plains has been cut off."

Listening to one bad news after another, Liu Ziguang frowned, but he still did not change his original intention and insisted on sending troops to the Central Plains.

"Let the weather manager visit the local fishermen and when will the typhoon end."

"Coal is easy to manage, so I don't believe that there are no coal mines in a huge country."

"Let the emperor issue an edict that the Japanese people are not allowed to eat rice, and that all the rice will be offered to Nagasaki, and then dried fish, dried plums, etc., can be dealt with all the way."

"How many times have you said that you should eat sashimi with mustard, so that the military doctor can diagnose and treat it well and recover as soon as possible."

"The tower is repaired as soon as possible, and communication cannot be interrupted."

The officers of the various units acted quickly, and soon the news came that the typhoon would soon pass, but the second storm would come in a flash, and there would be only three days in between, and it would still be impossible to sail.

According to the elderly, there are black stones that can be burned in the settlement of the Ainu people in the far north, but it belongs to the Hokkaido region, thousands of miles away from Nagasaki.

It is easy to collect rice and dry rations, but the Japanese state is barren, and it is probably a big burden to supply tens of thousands of troops for a long time, and it is not known that it will cause a backlash from the top and bottom of the Japanese state.

In short, the sky does not follow people's wishes, and when they are about to go on the expedition, they encounter so many troubles, which is really frustrating, and forcibly going out on the expedition is tantamount to burying the lives of the soldiers in vain, which is meaningless, but if you wait like this, I don't know how long it will take.

A large number of ships gathered in the port of Nagasaki, most of these ships were powered by steam boilers that burned coal, but the ports that supplied coal were in the hands of the enemy, and they could only transport coal from distant Song Dynasty and Taiwan.

This is the sky does not help me, Liu Ziguang silently, waved his hand to let his subordinates disperse, walked out of the gate alone, to the door, the guards wanted to help him put on a raincoat, he refused, so he braved the wind and rain to the Nagasaki harbor, looking at the rough sea, he was sad, on the other side of the sea, how many flesh and blood compatriots are suffering under tyranny, I knew that today, I should not have sold my reputation and went into exile overseas, I should have fought with them with real knives and guns, it is too late to say anything now, the power of nature is great, No matter how heroic you are, you won't be able to cross this thousands of miles of moat.

Looking at the dark clouds flying in the sky, suddenly Liu Ziguang flashed, why not fly over from the sky!

But he immediately dispelled this idea, not to mention that he only had a balloon airship, even if he had an airplane, he could not take off in such a bad climate, let alone pass through the clouds with complicated weather.

Unless...... Fly above the clouds, dodge storms and thunderstorms, take advantage of the intermittent rise of two tropical storm clusters, fly over the troposphere, and reach the lower end of the stratosphere, that is, the stratosphere, where the air flow is relatively stationary, relying on the compass and navigation map, flying towards the west, the big 6 is so wide, you can always fly to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, yes, just do it!

Liu Ziguang ran back to the marshal's mansion with his feet out, and he didn't care about changing into dry clothes, so he summoned his subordinates to discuss again, the biggest flying machine of the Red Shirt Army is the city in the sky, this huge flying fortress costs millions of silver taels, and concentrates the most advanced scientific research and operation personnel of contemporary science and technology and technology, due to the high cost, after the battle to recover Beijing, he has not participated in the actual battle, has been carrying out scientific research work, and has been carrying out scientific research work all year round in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, surveying nautical charts, studying astronomy and geography, in a sounding flight, Once arrived at a space where the air is relatively thin, the air flow is stable, the temperature is eternal, so it is named the stratosphere, the stratosphere has broken people's inherent thinking of "high places are not cold", of course, this understanding is also one-sided, the so-called stratosphere is only the lower end of the stratosphere, and then the temperature will still drop, but those are waiting for future generations to study.

The castle in the sky has undergone numerous improvements, the weight has been further reduced, but the strength has increased, the butyl-coated silk airbag is filled with helium and hydrogen, the engine has changed from cast iron to high-strength aluminum alloy, and the cumbersome artillery ammunition and member compartments have been removed, and the lift can be further improved, all that needs to be done is to strengthen the airtightness of the cabin and increase the protection of personnel.

At this time, Sky Castle was sheltering from the storm in the inland sea of Shimonoseki, and the crew could only pass from 6, and the time between the two storms was very short, so it was necessary to immediately start the work of recruiting personnel and deploying equipment.

The Red Shirts immediately took action, although they knew that the trip was nine deaths, but the applicants were still enthusiastic, but in view of the load capacity, only one hundred soldiers could be selected, and the equipment could only be light portable weapons, and the other was warm clothing, the original one-piece eiderdown jacket standard configuration of the airship members was not enough for a hundred sets, so they could only requisition folk fur clothes, regardless of what the mink coat fox fur scarf of the prince and noble lady, all requisitioned, and then with cowhide high boots filled with cotton wool, dog skin hats, crystal goggles, The whole body is tightly covered, the back is an oxygen tank, and the face is a breathing mask, looking like an alien.

Three days later, the typhoon really passed, taking advantage of the only good weather, Liu Ziguang led ninety-nine carefully selected soldiers, in Xiaguan to board the city in the sky, just inflated it took a whole day, after the city in the sky was filled with gas, eight propellers began to rotate, added to the air to rise, began an epoch-making voyage.
