Chapter 202: Pan Technology is a money-burning act

"Get up, get up..." Li Zubai finally saw his hard work, and the hot air balloon rose up. He couldn't help but shouted.

Yang Jie's sight has never left the overheated air balloon. Seeing that the hot air balloon was really moving and rising slowly, I knew that the hot air balloon was indeed successful in carrying people.

"Haha, indeed, Lord Li, the hot air balloon has indeed succeeded. I saw it, it's amazing! I didn't expect that this paper and heat can also hold people up, which is really unimaginable!" Although Yang Jie was a person in the 21st century and had seen not only hot air balloons take off, but also planes take off and rockets take off, but in the Ming Dynasty, nearly four hundred years ago, I had to sigh.

Some "bodyguards" including Wang Chengen also exclaimed, staring blankly at the "monster" that could rise. What is this? It can actually lead people to rise. Doesn't this mean that people can fly to the sky? Such a huge bolt from the blue exploded above their heads. Things that have always believed in their hearts have shown signs of collapse.

After the hot air balloon rose, the rising speed became much faster. Soon, the hot air balloon was close to two-thirds of the height of the observatory. Yang Jie took a look at it roughly. This thing seemed to be made of paper, tied with hemp rope to a frame made of bamboo, and a person stood inside. Seeing Li Zubai, he didn't say much, but just knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Jie, which was a tribute. It was a bit far away and he didn't say anything.

Look, the bamboo basket was tied with a hemp rope. Now, the hemp rope has been stretched straight, and its height will not rise any more.

The person standing in the bamboo basket looked only about twenty years old, very young, not panicked, busy in an orderly manner, looking calm, Yang Jie admired this person's courage, and dared to sit calmly in such a simple, low-quality and unsafe hot air balloon, which was extremely psychologically qualities. There was a stove in the middle of the bamboo basket, and this person was adding firewood to the stove and burning fire.

"Baoba..." Yang Jie couldn't help clapping his hands. This time, the hot air balloon manned experiment was successful, and he also expressed his admiration for the spirit of the person in the bamboo basket.

"Mr. Li, this hot air balloon has indeed been successful! Tell me what you made of this hot air balloon." Yang Jingwei was also very happy. This hot air balloon can have a huge impact on the late Ming Dynasty. He will definitely build momentum for this hot air balloon so as to achieve a shocking purpose, and make this pool of stagnant Ming Dynasty arouse a lot of splashes.

"Young Master, this hot air balloon is made of bamboo strips and meridians made of fishing nets, and is made of paper inside and outside. It is hung with hemp rope below. The one below is a bamboo frame. There is a stove in the bamboo basket. The chimney inside the stove is connected to the ball. The firewood is burned..." Li Zubai explained in detail the structure of his hot air balloon.

Yang Jing was speechless. The materials and manufacturing processes of this hot air balloon are really simple. The quality can only be described in one word, that is, inferior. Look at the materials used to make these materials, they are all flammable materials. If they accidentally catch fire, the hot air balloon will become a big fireball.

"Mr. Li, your hot air balloon seems to be made of flammable materials! If you are not careful, it will arise! You should pay attention to this." Yang Jing asked about the thing he was most worried about. If the hot air balloon turns into a big fireball on the day of the performance, under the attention of millions of people, the effect... I really can't say that I can't say that I will shock the people of the Ming Dynasty. The people of the Ming Dynasty will teach themselves a vivid "superficial" class.

"Young Master, this hot air balloon is indeed unable to withstand heat. Before using this paper ball, you must spray it with water and then dry it a little. Because when you pour hot air into it, the paper ball will gradually dry, and the paper ball will become hotter and hotter. Therefore, you must extinguish the fire in the stove before the paper ball is dried out or before the blue smoke comes out. Otherwise, the paper ball will definitely be burned. Even so, this paper ball will not be used many times and will be re-sticked..." Li Zubai talked about some of the process of this experiment.

After hearing this, Yang Jie only felt that two words were horror. This kind of super insecure thing dared to fly for manned flights. However, this simplest thing is the most advanced, advanced and scientific thing of this era. "Then what? Or it didn't fall down before the smoke came out? By the way, why didn't you use silk for your hot air balloon?" Yang Jie suddenly said, because Yang Jie suddenly remembered that this hot air balloon could also be made of silk in later generations.

Using silk? Li Zubai was shocked by the emperor's words. He burned dozens of hot air balloons. If he switched to silk instead of paper, Li Zubai felt that this was like piles of silver burning! He was confused. He burned money, it was simply burning money!

"Young Master, if this had not fallen before the smoke came out, the ball would probably be out of order. I'm afraid it would be burned... Several balls have been burned down... As for using silk as a hot air balloon, maybe it's OK... This, try it, try it..." Li Zubai said here, and he seemed to be in lingering fear, and was frightened by the emperor's fearlessness and willingness to burn money.

It seems that science in ancient times was also a high-risk thing! Without the guidance of the theory, it was really difficult to explore based on experience. Yang Jingwei felt that this spirit could be summarized by the Gods and Demons Laboratory.

"Did you hurt someone?"

"Young master, there is no such thing. Every time someone rides, you are careful when you make a fire. The time for making a fire is not more than a moment and a half. In this way, as long as you follow this time, there will be basically no problems with the hot air balloon. Therefore, you dare to invite the master to come to see you. Otherwise, if you are not sure, how can you have such courage there?" Li Zubai said here, and became confident again. This thing that can bring people to heaven was made from his own hands. This is enough to carry the history of the Ming Dynasty. This is enough to leave a mark in history and you can be proud of it.

"Well, this is not bad. It is right for Lord Li to be so careful and worthy of recognition. In the future, this will be the same when doing experiments. By the way, Lord Li, I am going to let you perform this hot air balloon carrying manned air in public. I wonder if you can do it? Are you sure?" Using hot air balloons to perform public performances is the purpose of making hot air balloons. If you can't do this, then this hot air balloon is useless. There is another ultimate goal of hot air balloons, that is, military, and there is no need to tell others for the time being.

Li Zubai struggled for a while, and told the truth honestly, saying, "Young Master, I can only tie it with a rope and take it out of the air without wind. Once there is wind, the hot air balloon underneath will not be able to control the direction. This may float around with the wind. If it floats to a place where it shouldn't be, or if it takes too long to make a fire, I'm afraid I'm not sure. What I can be sure of now is to be able to take it out safely, three or four feet above the ground..." Li Zubai did not dare to deceive the emperor, and told the truth honestly.

Yang Jingwei didn't blame him, and said, "Then have you ever done an experiment of floating in the wind under wind conditions?"

Li Zubai thought about the emperor's words and said, "Young master, this is really small, there is no place. It floats with the wind, and needs a very open place to keep rising and exploring. It is necessary to see how the ball will float, where it will float, and how far it will float, and it must be covered. When burning balloons on this observatory, they are always careful, for fear of being seen, and dare not rise, for fear of being seen, and for being said to be a monster, and for fear of being scared..." Li Zubai also explained his difficulties.

"This is indeed a difficult problem. Let's do this. I'll find a wide and sparsely populated place for you. If you take people to do the experiment of the hot air balloon with the wind, you must figure out the various data of the hot air balloon's lifting, especially the impact of wind speed on the hot air balloon, figure out the longest lifting time and the extreme lifting time of the hot air balloon. Be sure to ensure that you can perform a flight performance safely in public. The flight time of the performance should not be long, that is, one or two minutes is enough. I can give you the experiment time, not too much, one or two months, how about it? Can it be done?" Yang Jing decided to strongly support Li Zubai in "scientific research" and decided to make an open flight performance.

Li Zubai hesitated. The time was too urgent. There was not enough time, not enough manpower, and even more fatal. This might require a lot of money. The emperor asked him to burn money and use silk to make hot air balloons. He felt that he did not dare to agree to the emperor without enough money. Li Zubai felt that this silk was too expensive, and he didn't have much money anymore. He didn't have much money to ask the emperor for it, so he could only um, um, and couldn't say anything.

Seeing that Li Zubai was hesitant, Yang Jie said, "Don't worry, I will never treat him badly. In this way, I will take your expenses, first take 5,000 taels as expenses. If not enough, I will ask me. In addition, I will send you a hundred households as security guards to protect your safety and drive away people close to the experimental field. Secondly, I can use labor to help you do experiments. How about it?" Yang Jie also made a heavy bet. He must make this hot air balloon, and shock the people of the Ming Dynasty, so that these people can open their eyes to see the world, and don't bury their heads under their butts. More importantly, they should be used as a secret weapon to deal with wild boar skins and others in the military. No matter how much money they spend, they must be made. If these thousands of taels can be made, it can only be said that it is worth it.

Li Zubai didn't hesitate this time. Not only was he rich, but also bodyguards and labor. It was the emperor's strong support. If he didn't appreciate it, the emperor would be disappointed in himself. The most important thing was that Li Zubai had confidence in his hot air balloons, was enthusiastic about the research on manned hot air balloons, and was enthusiastic about his future. Li Zubai no longer had any psychological barriers to burning money. He thought that if he burned money, he would burn money. The emperor asked him to burn money. What else was he afraid of? I heard that the emperor had too much money, so he would not be afraid of burning some for the emperor. Anyway, the emperor was rich all over the world.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, I will do my best to do this for Your Majesty and will never let Your Majesty down." Li Zubai was no longer vague and was full of hope for this "money-burning project".

"Well, that's good. I know that this hot air balloon is definitely feasible to fly on manned. In addition, I will give you a few more opinions. First, don't be afraid of failure. Don't be afraid of burning hot air balloons. After burning one, make another one, burn two, and make four of them. You must explore the hot air balloon clearly. Second, the various data of this hot air balloon cannot be just stuck in your mind. You have to see paper, write all the data on the paper one by one, and then count them comprehensively. In this way, you should get a relatively stable value. Also, you can use your experience to blindly explore... How to say, now it's Wan Monaster, and you have to do it. Not only do you have to experiment with how to release the hot air balloon, but you also have to figure out the

The truth in this article, for example, why can this hot air balloon fly? How big is it to make to fly? How much weight can it be brought in every increase, and the impact of wind speed on the hot air balloon in the air. This means that you should not only know the truth, but also know the reason. Only by understanding the principle and improving your hot air balloon can you rely on. Otherwise, your hot air balloon will never exceed your current level and will always be a flammable and explosive thing, do you understand?" Yang Jieluo's long-winded words basically expressed his understanding of the hot air balloon. I hope Li Zubai will not disappoint himself, and it is best to study the buoyancy of the air, such a "black technology".

Li Zubai heard the words of His Majesty, and was fascinated by his words, as if he were dreamy. This emperor seemed to know more than he, the actual operator. His guidance to him was like a bright lamp in the dark, pointing him in the direction, making him have many vague places about the hot air balloon. He immediately knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is enlightened, I am grateful and enjoying endlessly. I will remember your Majesty's words and will do it according to your Majesty's words."

Yang Jie nodded. All he could do with hot air balloons. No matter what, he had to do, he had to do this hot air balloon. He wanted to use this hot air balloon to shock everyone in the Ming Dynasty and lift the haze that covered the time and space in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Well, it's great. It's good that you can understand. I haven't let my expectations down. Work hard. When the performance that will be successful in the future, I will let you go to the Li Bureau. There should be a good fit for you." Yang Jingwei is preparing to recruit a group of talents for his "Academy of Science". This Li Zubai can be regarded as the top "scientist" of this era and is worth cultivating.

Li Zubai has never heard of the court having such an organization, but he also guessed it from the name, which is probably related to this calendar. The calendar has always been the top priority of the court, and there will definitely be important officials of the court. This is a way to get ahead, because the Imperial Heaven Supervision is just an official prison, and it is really difficult to go out.

"I obey your orders and remember your Majesty's teachings." Li Zubai kowtowed again.

As he spoke, the time for the hot air balloon to take off was approaching. The man standing in the hot air balloon began to remove the firewood. The hot air balloon was tied with a rope and began to slowly descend on the spot.

After seeing the hot air balloon lifting up, Yang Jie did not stop for a long time. He went straight off the observatory and had to go to the Imperial College.

When I went down to the observatory, I saw that there were many people kneeling outside, but they were not of very high grades, and the leaders were all in a blue official robe.

The leader saw the emperor coming out of the observatory and immediately shouted: "Long live the imperial guardian Li Tianjing, the supervisor of the Imperial Heaven, bowed to my emperor."

His own conduct was exposed. Yang Jie looked at the supervisor of the Imperial Heavenly Prison and did not take it seriously. Many people in the Imperial Heavenly Prison had seen him. If he came here, it would be difficult to get it completely unaware of it.

"Everyone is exempt from rituals. It's not like this, it's not like this. In addition, don't talk about what happened today to the public, do you understand?"

"I thank the Lord for your kindness, and I will remember the edict of Your Majesty." The Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor Li Tianjing took the lead and stood up.

"Well, very good. There are a lot of good things in your Imperial Heaven Prison! There are also many talents! Not bad, good, do it well, do it well!" After Yang Jing said these few words, he hurriedly left. He was so hungry that he had to find a place to eat.

Officials of all sizes of the Imperial Heaven Prison were still immersed in the great happiness of meeting the emperor. Who knew that the emperor would leave such a few mindless words, so they began to think about it. There are many good things in the Imperial Heaven Prison? Could it be a hot air balloon? Only this can make the emperor come to the Imperial Heaven Prison, which has produced a lot of talents? It is referring to Li Zubai, the guy who smokes the ancestral tomb, isn't it right! There are many good things and many talents, which do not refer to one person specifically. Could it be that Your Majesty said that in the Imperial Heaven Prison, we can do what Li Zubai can do?... A group of people are surrounded by a huge sense of happiness. Doesn't this mean that everyone's ancestral tombs can smoke the ancestral tombs?

The emperor's Heavenly Supervision Supervisor Li Tianjing's thanks for giving the emperor's cry to interrupt these people's dreams, and they all hurriedly knelt down and sent the emperor away.

Yang Jie felt comfortable when he got on the carriage and lay down. He had been standing for the past half day. He was really tired and his waist and legs were a little hurt. Although the shock absorber of the carriage was not very good, he had at least put a lot of pads on it, and it was not as good as a tractor.

Yang Jie lifted the curtains of the carriage and said to Wang Chengen who was following outside: "Big partner, remember what happened today. Zhang Baihu, who was guarding the city, I think it's good. Please pay attention to it, investigate his background, and then ask him to report to Master Sun's new army training camp for training for a few months, come out, get promoted, give him a thousand households, or deputy thousand households or other officials, continue to defend the city. It's not certain, it will be used in the future..." Yang Jie felt good about Zhang Weiyi, and felt that his strategy for defending the city might be able to be used for him in the future, and he was ready to train him.
Chapter completed!
