Chapter 390 1 Will Be Back Soon The Wind Is Moving
On April 18, the weather was fine.
Many people did not understand the meaning of Li Longji's small court meeting in Hanyuan Hall.
After the court meeting was over, Li Longji announced: "There is a new thing called a hot air balloon. I brought one today, and the Yulin Flying Cavalry will demonstrate it to everyone."
Everyone was in high spirits, and they could actually see the rumored flying ball today.
Everyone was waiting. Yulin Feiqi led four horses here and immediately carried the box.
Use this to tell the ministers that hot air balloons are easy to carry.
Then Yulin Feiqi opened the box to take things, quickly assembled it, debugged it, inflated the hot air balloon, and two people went up to control the alcohol blowtorch.
The hot air balloon gradually rose up under the watchful eyes of the ministers. When it reached thirty feet, everyone in and outside the palace could see it.
The people on the road in front of the imperial city stopped to watch. From a close distance, they could see clearly.
A large basket is hung under the colorful balls, and there is a Yulin Feiqi in the basket.
The hot air balloon continued to rise, and the hearts of the envoys from various countries continued to sink.
I saw it, I saw it clearly, it can indeed carry people, and it is still the Yulin Flying Cavalry. Does the emperor of the Tang Dynasty want to express something?
When the hot air balloon ran out of 200 feet of rope and was moving with the wind in the sky, the cheers of the people reached Hanyuan Hall.
The officials huddled among themselves and talked quietly.
"Take out the good stuff. Even if you don't use it, the envoys from other Tibetan states will pass it back after seeing it. It will scare them to death."
"It's most useful when attacking a city. You can choose the wind direction. When defending the city, one side of the wall will be unused, and the other two sides will be deflected. Only one side can be explored."
"The wind was too strong, and the rope suddenly broke. The people on it were blown away and would die if they fell."
"No one can die in a war. Falling to death is a normal casualty."
"How much longer can the rope be? The longer the rope, the more weight it will have."
"There is no weapon that can't find its shortcomings. It's already pretty good. With the addition of a hot air balloon, it can be an auxiliary to other arms."
"Exactly, wouldn't the city be defended without hot air balloons? Even if it can only reduce the pressure on one city wall, the defenders on this wall can go to reinforce other walls."
"You can still look out. It's 200 feet high. Use binoculars to see the enemy's arrangements."
"Yes, one at the top is watching and the other is signaling."
"The soldiers at the border will be very happy if they know about it."
"It's not expensive, right?"
"It's expensive but it has to be made."
The ministers expressed their opinions.
"Your Majesty, does it take time to make this thing? How about..." Yao Chong was close to Li Longji, so he asked how long it would take to make it.
Before he could finish speaking, Li Longji interrupted him: "No, Lijiazhuangzi can build it very quickly."
"Faster than making a bow?" Yao Chong still wanted to know.
"A bow takes a long time, and a crossbow takes even longer. The cost of a hot air balloon is actually not as good as a powerful crossbow."
Li Longji finally came to the bottom of it.
The crossbow has many processes and takes a long time, but the hot air balloon is simple and requires short working hours. It does not count the cost of technology, so it is naturally cheap.
"Ah?" Yao Chong was surprised. He thought that one hot air balloon was worth a thousand pieces.
The result is cheaper than a strong crossbow, and the cost of a strong crossbow of fifty or sixty is normal.
"That...that..." Yao Chong didn't know how to express it for a moment.
"It's broken, the rope is broken, it broke about ten feet away." A shout suddenly came.
Everyone looked down, and sure enough, the rope fell down, and the other ropes flew away with the hot air balloon.
The ministers are anxious, are two Feather Flying Riders going to be killed today?
Li Longji frowned.
"Your Majesty, there was a sudden strong wind just now and the rope broke." Xiaohuangmen came over and said the reason.
All the people watching the hot air balloon were confused now, and the foreign envoys were excited.
It turns out there is a flaw. Once the rope is broken, the person will fall to death.
The ministers of Hanyuan Palace looked at Li Longji. Li Longji thought about it and ordered: "Serve the tea and wait for the hot air balloon to fly back."
Ministers: "..."
If the rope breaks and is blown away by the wind, can it still come back? What do you need the rope for? Your Majesty, I'm afraid something went wrong because you were anxious, right?
At this time, the two people on the hot air balloon encouraged each other.
"Sixth, don't be afraid. We said we can change. Quick, pull up the rope. Let's find a way to fly back without falling into the wild."
shouted a sergeant.
"I know Da Lu, hurry up, the wind is rising, the wind is not going in the right direction." Lao Liu tugged on the rope frantically, stretching and contracting his arms, one tuo and one tuo (the distance between his arms and his body was flat).
Tie them into bundles skillfully to avoid confusion.
Dalu gave fire and the hot air balloon rose rapidly.
When it reaches a certain height, the wind direction changes, but it does not blow back, and it continues to rise.
"It's a bit cold." Lao Liu was still lying there.
"The higher it gets, the better it gets. It's okay. The proprietor said it will rise by 333 feet and the temperature will drop by 6 degrees. We can persevere." Da Lu explained it scientifically.
"If I had known if I had come up wearing cotton clothes, wouldn't I be able to breathe no matter how high I was?"
"Then go down, you can't be suffocated to death, or you'll end up in the wild."
"It's changed. Come on, go back at this height. Oh, it's not easy, but it's really possible."
"It will be easier in the future. Bring clothes in the basket and the proprietor's oxygen bag."
After the operation, the hot air balloon ushered in a new wind direction at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters and blew back.
Fortunately, it is summer, and the temperature has dropped by twenty degrees, so it is still bearable.
Two people discovered a new world, oh my God! You can find the wind, but who says a hot air balloon can only fly in one direction?
What do I need this rope for?
The two flew back, and Li Longji was waiting.
Whether he flew back by himself or came back with a message after landing, there was always someone coming back.
Li Longji didn't believe that the Yulin Flying Cavalry would fall to death. The hot air balloon would no longer be fired and the height would drop.
After waiting for about two-quarters of an hour, Gao Lishi, who was looking around with a telescope, suddenly shouted: "I see it. It's very small in the sky. It's floating over. It's getting closer. It's over our heads. Huh? It's passed."
Li Longji stood up and took the telescope. Sure enough, he saw a small balloon flying in another direction.
Then the balloon was descending, flying to the left, falling to the left again, rising, not to the left, but to the right, flying a certain distance, and descending.
As the height decreased, others could now spot it without using telescopes.
The hot air balloon that seemed to be getting smaller rose and fell for a while, and it looked like it was getting closer to here.
After waiting for another two-quarters of an hour, the balloon grew bigger and I could see the basket and the people inside.
The hot air balloon descends and is blown back by the wind.
The people cheered and the messengers were depressed. Can they fly back and forth without a rope?
Li Longji smiled. Sure enough, Yulin Feiqi was the calmest and was not afraid of unexpected situations.
Looking at the route of the hot air balloon, it is heading towards Hanyuan Hall.
The crowd waited excitedly, UU Reading www.uuknshu.net for the ball to land.
The person I saw now was closer than when I was at my highest just now.
Many people had sweaty palms, probably because of the hot weather.
Getting closer, getting closer, suddenly a strong wind blew sideways, and the hot air balloon floated away, six or seven feet above the ground.
The hot air balloon floated past the avenue in front of the Imperial City, and a cry came from above: "Tell your majesty, we will be back in a moment, oh, what a wind."
The people watching below saw such a big thing flying overhead and heard shouts. Many people said at the same time: "Oh~~"
The hot air balloon quickly rose again and flew away.
"Wait a moment." Li Longji said helplessly.
Ministers: "..."
