Chapter 45: Departure
It is really worthy of the prestigious Dai Yue Guan, not only with the protection of the immortals, but also with super combat power, and even the carpentry tools are the first of the heavenly wood, and he seems to be on the right side.
He couldn't help but admire the tool, and when Zhang Bai saw that he liked it, he said loudly: "Do you want it?" β
"Ahh
"That's right!" Zhang Bai said: "It's not very useful for me to hold it." β
This is an expensive tool made of building wood, which is generally used to make weapons, how can it be used to make tools?
He felt his blood rise, tears welled up, and he choked up: "The young master is really arrogant, I have been on an errand in the underworld for so many years, and I have never seen so many rewards." From now on, you will be my master, and I will follow you. β
Seeing that he was about to cry with joy, Zhang Bai himself was also a little moved, and couldn't help but clap his chest on the spot: "You just do things well, I'll cover you." β
Facts have proved that Ma Yuanhao is not only a journeyman, but also an all-round engineer.
He prepared several water tanks and boxes as containers, and used a pickaxe to make a small hole in the bottom of the barge to let the pulverized coal flow out slowly. It only took one day to solve the problem that Zhang Bai couldn't solve for more than half a year, and unloaded most of the full ship of coal.
Airship airbags were also made, using canvas from barges. Zhang Bai drew a general appearance, and Ma Yuanhao typed a publication.
He also asked Zhang Bai to polish a large needle, and removed a few dusty rags and curtains in the hall that had not been washed for many years, took out threads, and kneaded thick threads for sewing.
Then he taught Lingling and Mu Jing how to sew the airbag according to the layout, and the job was handed over to them.
The canvas used for the airbag is actually not sealed enough, and even if the needlework is high, it will inevitably leak.
This did not bother him, he actually used an axe to make a crack in the trunk of the tree, took the sap, and applied it directly to the canvas. Not only has the canvas itself become strong and no longer leaking, but the seams have also become sealed.
The barge and the airbag are difficult to connect, and he still has a solution.
The barge was first built with wooden planks for the exterior wall and ceiling, all of which were mortise and tenon joints, and then stained with tree paint, which, according to him, was very sticky, much stronger than nails or something.
Then he ripped off all the vines hanging on the branches, dried them and flattened them to make a hard rope, and then used this rope to weave two super baskets that were connected together with two upper and lower buckles, and loaded the barge and airbag into it, and the airship was roughly formed.
Not only Zhang Bai at this time, but even Mu Jing and Lingling Pig were dumbfounded.
"Brother Ma, well done!" Zhang Bai was excited.
All that's left is to make hydrogen, and it's up to Zhang Bai to do it himself.
Speaking of this work, the Europeans would have done it in the Middle Ages, as long as they threw aluminum into the acid solution. Under laboratory conditions, it is better to replace acid with sodium hydroxide. However, there is no aluminum, no acid, and no sodium hydroxide in the Taoist temple.
So Zhang Bai had already thought about it, and there was only the trick of electrolyzed water. Originally, it was impossible to electrolyze water without electricity in ancient times, but in this life, he was an immortal cultivator who was good at thunder and lightning, and it was not difficult to electrolyze water.
He had already asked Ma Yuanhao to open an opening at the top and bottom of the airbag.
A closed switch was made out of wood, and two long, curved wooden pipes, each with an opening.
At the other end of the tube at the bottom, the opening is raised high. The pipe connected to the top leads directly to a large sealed water tank, which is filled with most of the water. He also asked Lingling to bring all the remaining salt from the Taoist temple, and poured all of it into the water tank in Lingling's protest.
Two finger-thick iron rods were inserted into the seal, which were removed from the weapons used for practice.
Zhang Bai held a stick in each of his left and right hands and performed a thunderbolt technique.
Fueled by the burst of electricity, pure hydrogen gas billows out of the tube and into the air bag.
The residual air in the sac is much heavier than hydrogen, and soon the hydrogen gas collects at the top of the capsule and the air is pressed to the bottom and expelled from another tube.
I saw that the airbag was raised little by little, supporting the rattan rope, and the airship gradually floated, and the bottom really left the ground.
Zhang Bai hurriedly commanded everyone and tied the rope tied to the airship to the trunk of the Jianmu tree, and then everything stopped.
The airship is finally there.
Looking at the airship floating in the air off the ground, Mu Jing, Ma Yuanhao, and Lingling Pig all closed their jaws in surprise, and kept looking at this and that.
The prohibition of heaven and earth cannot stop the desire of human beings to fly, this is everything, and there is nothing else.
......
The sea of clouds is churning, and the gray clouds are surging silently like waves, more powerful than the sea, but not as noisy as the sea. On the edge of the vastness, the orange morning glow is like a huge friendless rose.
"I'm the man who became the king of the piratesββ!"
Zhang Bai stood at the bow of the boat, stretched out his arms, and shouted incomparably, no one knew what he was shouting anyway.
Mu Jing looked at him and frowned, "You are really often unexpected! Why do you want to be a thief again?
Ah, chest tightness!
After building the airship, the group was busy for a few days and made sufficient preparations. All the books, food, fruits, bedding and clothes were collected, and a lot of wood was also loaded in the front warehouse.
It's a shame that we can't transport them all.
But Zhang Bai can't manage so much, and there are many reasons why he is in a hurry to leave.
Evading the pursuit is the most important reason, who knows when the Blood Underworld Law Sect will find itself, the other party is overwhelming, although Mu Jing can resist for a while, it is not a long-term solution.
This heaven is different.
After the heaven and earth are cut off, no one can fly, not a divine sense like Mu Jing, let alone a Fa sect disciple, so there is nothing safer than the heavens.
Another practical reason for leaving Yingshan is that there is not much food, and although the meat is endless, the amount is not much, and there is not enough to eat.
The food of Daiyueguan is not enough, and Lingling is a child, and he doesn't know how to save, anyway, if there is food, he will cook porridge, and if there is less food, he will cook a little less porridge.
Originally, there was only Lingling alone, and it was enough to eat by picking wild fruits on the building trees, but now that Zhang Bai and Ma Yuanhao have added two mouths, the food is immediately insufficient.
The last and most important reason for the rush to leave Yingshan is because of this era.
This is the era of the Three Kingdoms, and now it is 220 AD, Cao Cao will die in the spring, and he will not be able to see him.
But there are also Brother Zhuliang, Shuai Yunyun, Aunt Si, Sun Quan, Jiang Wei, and Ma Xiaochao.
Oh, and Diao Chan Zhen Mi, Qiao Sun Shangxiang and Cai Yan, a talented girl, these are all not to be missed.
But at present, I am not in a hurry to go to the Central Plains, the destination of this trip is due south, and I will go to India first.
Escaping the pursuit is the number one priority.
Besides, you have to bring some local products to the Central Plains, or how to meet the people of your hometown?
Jianmu is not suitable as a souvenir, ordinary people do not understand the role of Jianmu, rashly send a rotten wooden board to others, he suspects that he will be beaten.
India is tropical, productive, and fragmented since ancient times, with the exception of the Kushan Empire in the northwest, all countries, including the banks of the Ganges, were city-states at this time, and were very weak.
If there is a shortage of food and money, the robbery is also grabbed.
A pirate has to look like a pirate, he looks at the flag affixed to the bow of the ship.
Painting was originally Zhang Bai's profession, and this flag was made by him, and he also drew a three-dimensional sense with his own hands, and pasted it on the bow of the ship with his own hands.
Motif on the flag: a skull with a pair of human bones crossed underneath.
