Chapter 58: Nothing is easy

Li Zubai's large Kongming lantern was successfully tested.

A group of people on the ground who followed Yang Jing to watch the Kongming lantern test flight did not show much surprise. Eunuchs, palace maids, guards, etc. all quietly watched the animals as Yang Jing to heaven. No one expressed his fear. There was no scene of running around.

This surprised Yang Jingwei. Didn’t it mean that the ancients were panicked when they saw these things? Why did they meet a group of nervous people themselves?

Yang Jingwei was a little confused.

Yang Jie had no choice but to slap his hands and express his congratulations.

"Li Aiqing, congratulations on your success." Yang Jingai said to Li Zubai with a smile.

Li Zubai handed the "safety rope" in his hand to his helper, and then he respectfully knelt on the ground: "I thank the emperor for his praise." As he said that, tears came out.

"Why is this? She shed tears?"

Li Zubai did not make excuses, but just wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands, his eyes were red, and he felt a sense of grievance.

Yang Jing did not understand how difficult it would be to do such a "first-lasting" thing in this era when only talking about the classics and history, the wind and snowy nights, and the little wife in the fields. How many people would be discredited and ridiculed. I believe Li Zubai had suffered a lot of anger outside. If he had not been ordered by the emperor, he would probably have known how many times his large "Kongming Lantern" had been burned.

This time I finally got the emperor's recognition. The grievances I suffered before were nothing. Jian Zai Zhen, hum, envy you guys to death. Li Zubai's grievances were relieved.

After Li Zubai wiped his tears, he said with great intention: "Your Majesty, I believe that the next step is to expand this 'Kongming Lantern' and make this Kongming Lantern bigger so that he can carry people."

Yang Jie had read "nine years of compulsory education", so he naturally knew that this was not possible. Thinking about the Kongming lantern, which was made of rice paper and bamboo strips. When you were blown by the wind, you burned the skeleton and burned rice paper. The people on it were just playing "bungee jumping"! It was absolutely unsafe.

"Haha, Li Aiqing, you have a problem with your idea. Just imagine that the Kongming lantern is just a thin layer of rice paper paste, tied with silk thread. When the wind blows, the thread is burned and the rice paper is burned. Can't this person fall from it? A hundred feet apart, can't he become a meat pie? "

Li Zubai was immediately scared to the point of being at a loss when Yang Jing said this: "Where...what, what should the emperor think? Wouldn't a man never be able to go to heaven?"

"You have to think of this, you have to think of a layer of rice paper too easily burned. You can think of other methods, which are both light and sealed, and relatively strong and fire-resistant. This way, it is safe for people to ride on it!" Yang Jingwei didn't know what the hot air balloon was made of at the beginning. He only watched the kind made of nylon on TV. Now it is impossible to find that kind of material.

"I obey the order..." Li Zubai regarded the emperor's attention as his only support. He was an official in the Imperial Heaven Prison and was not popular, but he had to challenge the "tradition" and create "things" for the emperor, in order to get close to the emperor and get close to the emperor, and achieve his unspeakable purpose. This way, he was not "liked", was ridiculed and aggrieved, so he made up his mind and devoted himself to the emperor.

"Every time you do the experiment, you must record it in detail and form a fixed format, so that you can compare it in the future... Gradually make this "Kongming Lantern" bigger... Gradually add stones, record the weight of the stones, and when you can pretend to be a person and make no mistakes, you can perform a manned flying in front of me and in front of millions of people in the capital. At that time, Li Aiqing will be successful and famous and will definitely be recorded in history..."

Yang Jing used this kind of thing to stimulate Li Zubai.

He was successful and famous, and flew over the capital, attracting the attention of the emperor and millions of people. Thinking about how exciting it was, Li Zubai was so excited by Yang Jing that he wanted to make this manned "Kongming Lantern".

"I obey the order, but I only repay the emperor with death..." Li Zubai wished that there would be a large Kongming lantern for him to fly to the sky right now.

"Haha, my dear, you should be careful, and you should pay attention to safety..." Yang Jingwei was also looking forward to the scene of huge hot air balloons floating over the ancient Forbidden City, hoping that such a "unique" scene would give the dying Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty a profound shock! Change their worldview, let them open their eyes to see the world, and don't blind themselves in ignorance.

"In addition, I would like to reward you with another 1,000 taels of silver, which is the research fee I gave you. If I have no money, I can come to the palace to find me. As long as you can make a manned balloon, I will not be stingy." Yang Jie suddenly remembered that the Imperial Heaven Supervision was an unpopular yamen. This yamen was still hereditary, the Qingshui yamen among the Qingshui yamen. If Li Zubai wanted to conduct scientific experiments, he might have to rely on his salary to be his pants.

"Woo... I will definitely swear to repay the emperor's kindness of knowing the favor..." Li Zubai really cried, snotting and crying. This sad place was mentioned. Once the aggrieved place was opened, how could the tears stop? The iron-beating man could not resist it! A man would not cry easily because he had not reached the sad place.

Yang Jing did not expect that Li Zubai was crying so hard. Is his little care so great? He is full of turtle spirit?

Yang Jie stayed in the "Palace Museum" all day long, and of course he didn't know the pressure and grievances Li Zubai was under outside.

Yang Jing saw Li Zubai crying so sadly, not like a fake one, and he was also sad. He said to Wang Chengen: "Big companion, go and see Li Aiqing off."

"Yes, the emperor." Wang Chengen agreed, turning around and helping Li Zubai. He sent him out of the palace. He gave Li Zubai a day of face. He could also support Li Zubai.
