Chapter 20 Kongming Lantern

Weapons in the air? Yingyue and Locke read these words, and a big question mark appeared in their minds. Kong Ming looked at their serious thoughts and did not disturb him.

After waiting patiently for a while, Locke raised his head and said to Kong Ming in confusion: "Your Majesty, is the weapon in the air you mentioned imitating the power of flying birds?"

"In a very ancient time, there was a famous human inventor. He made a colorful bird with wood and flew in the sky for three days and three nights!" Kong Ming carefully grafted the allusion of Luban making wood birds he knew to a person who did not exist in this world, and said: "That is a sign of imitating the flying of birds. Using the power of the wind to fly like a bird, it is probably the dream of many human beings!"

"It's fun to fly into the air, but I don't think it has any combat power!" Locke raised his thoughts and said, "Can he kill the gods and angels who make a living with wings, or the ancient dragons?"

"But it is much more convenient when investigating the enemy situation!" Yingyue raised her different views, but she looked at Kong Ming's eyes and said hesitantly: "Teacher, even if this is the case, this cannot be used as the best weapon!"

"Haha!" Kong Ming saw that they had not yet escaped their own mindset, and laughed and said, "I am not trying to give our warriors wings. If wings can be used as the last weapon, then so many magicians who know how to fly are the most powerful warriors in the world!"

"Then don't keep it aside!" Locke said to Kong Ming anxiously: "It's not possible to think about it. Anyway, it's better to tell me the general direction. Let's think about the others!" He now has blind admiration and confidence in Kong Ming. Originally, this kind of thing has exceeded his imagination and thought it was impossible, but in his heart, he still thought that Kong Ming, who has the ability to defies the heaven, would have such a direction.

"I'll do an experiment for you!" Kong Ming suddenly said: "Do you have paper and lighter wooden strips here?"

"There are very thin parchment paper, and the wooden strips are everywhere!" Locke said without blinking.

"Okay!" Kong Ming walked out of the cave, and then said to the two people standing beside him: "Equip me these two things, come out of the cave, I will show you an interesting thing that I accidentally invented a long time ago!

When I came out of the cave, it was already dark outside and the stars were everywhere. It was a very beautiful night. Kong Ming stayed here for an afternoon without realizing it. He didn't feel that time was lost so quickly. It seemed that as long as people concentrate, they would not have any thoughts to pay attention to other things.

Yingyue followed him tightly, looking at his generous back, her heart was filled with love. This was the teacher he admired the most and the man she loved the most. The two were combined into one, but no happiness that every woman could envy.

Lock then walked out, his short figure was simply crushed by a large stack of parchment paper, and walked to Kong Ming with a handful of sweat that did not exist at all, and laughed: "Look at your performance!"

Kong Ming nodded slightly and handed Yingyue the feather fan that he never left, stretched out his hands, picked up a piece of parchment paper and folded it out. He first built a cube frame with long wooden strips, and then patiently pasted the frame with large pieces of parchment paper, leaving no gaps, leaving only the bottom side.

Then, a cross-shaped bracket was built diagonally with wooden strips, placed a candle on it, lit it with fire elements, and placed it on the ground and waited patiently.

"Your Majesty Kongming, why are you doing such a big lantern?" Locke looked at the yellow light revealed in the parchment paper and asked Kong Ming in surprise.

"Yes!" Yingyue also asked strangely: "Now there is magic ball lighting, what lanterns are needed?"

Kong Ming pointed to the lantern larger than Locke's body and said to the two: "This is the prototype of the weapon I envision. You can call it the Kongming lantern!" Kong Ming's eyes darkened, and he remembered the distant world again.

"Kongming Lantern?" Locke chewed these three words and laughed: "Your Majesty, it's right to be a lamp, it's right to use your name, but how can it be called a weapon in the air? It's still in the soil now!"

Kong Ming estimated that the air in Kongming lanterns was almost hot, and did not explain Locke's suspicion and said to Yingyue: "This is a very far away place. This thing is usually put together on a festival to wish you a good life. Thousands of lanterns float in the air, which is a beautiful scenery!"

Yingyue didn't really believe that this lantern could rise into the air. In her opinion, except for the flying technique, all other flying objects needed wings, birds, gods, angels, demons, dragons, etc. all needed wings to fly into the air. The lantern was made by Kong Ming with her own eyes. She neither used magic circles nor installed wings on it. How could it fly?

However, as she guessed, Locke was shouting in surprise. Kongminglantern, which was bigger than others, shaking on the ground a few times, slowly left the ground, crossed his head, and flew into the air.

The speed was slow at first, but later it became faster and faster. It reached the sky more than ten feet long, like a star in the night sky, with dazzling light. Locke's scream attracted the attention of other dwarves, and many people noticed that a strange lantern rose from Kongming.

Although it is not surprising, no different from ordinary lanterns, this simple thing has never been known on this continent.

Yingyue was the nature of a little girl. Seeing that this impossible thing happened in the hands of Kong Ming, who was also a teacher, could not suppress his excitement and began to clap his hands and scream. Kong Ming smiled faintly from the side. He had expected this result.

"It can really fly!" Yingyue was excited and shook Kong Ming's arm, pointing to Kongming's lantern slowly rising in the air and said to him.

"Of course it can!" Kong Ming smiled and said, "If you can't, how could I tell you!"

"What is this principle?" Yingyue immediately asked him with a spirit of digging into the bottom line.

"Yes, Your Majesty Kongming, tell me quickly!" Locke also looked at Kongming with his eyes tightly. The light in his eyes was similar to a hungry wolf. His strong desire for knowledge did not weaken because of his age, but increased.

"The reason is very simple!" Kong Ming smiled and said, "Some things are not too difficult, but we lack the eyes to discover. Why did this lamp take off? What do you think is the key place?"

"Why don't you say it directly? It's so uncomfortable to hold my curiosity like this!" The old dwarf's straightforwardness made him question Kong Ming directly, but Yingyue said from the side: "Teacher is inspiring us. It's only for others to say it, but what you get is useful. I think the most critical part of this Kongming lantern should be on that candle. It's obvious that the lamp does not fly at the beginning, and it will only take off after the candle burns for a while!"

"Yeah, I think so too!" Locke, who obviously did not think seriously, followed.

"Yingyue is right!" Kong Ming nodded in praise. Yingyue, who was standing beside her, was so excited that her face turned red and she lowered her head embarrassedly.

"When you make a fire, have you noticed that the smoke always flew straight upwards!" Kong Ming said.

"This is natural!" cried Locke, "Even a three-year-old child understands!"

"Why did the smoke fly upward?" Kong Ming continued.

"Because it is hot!" Locke said again, "Why does the hot get up?" Kong Ming continued to ask.

"Yes! Why does it rise?" Rocke, who obviously did not pass through the brain, also asked the same question.

Yingyue, who was listening quietly, suddenly realized and said, "I understand, because this candle heats the air in the lamp, and the hot air is lighter than the cold ones, so she takes the Kongming lantern to fly upwards!"

"If a large lamp is made without hot air, it is filled with magic elements without weight, and then use the flying technique as the power of flight, and then arrange these magic crystal cannons on it, and then use the ten thousand cannons to inspire them to transport these magic armor cannons to fight on various battlefields, what will happen?"

"That will be a weapon to destroy the world!" Yingyue thought of this possibility and her voice began to tremble. Ten thousand cannons were fired at the sky, bombarding the gods and demons. How powerful would it be? They could even hit the highest level!"

"That will be a city in the sky!" Locke nodded and said, "Like the city of Sky established by the legendary gods, it is no, it is more powerful than the city of Sky!"

"If we imitate birds to make a manned machine with two magic armored cannons on it, infused with the light of judgment, mainly small, many docked on this air dock. As long as the enemy attacks, all of these machines will fight against those enemies in the air. At the same time, we use artillery fire to support it and serve as a repair place, what kind of scene will it be?" Kong Ming lightly outlined his blueprint, which made the two fall into deep thoughts.

Yingyue and Locke can be said to be the most flexible inventor in the world. Yingyue is good at thinking. Locke is better because of his dexterity. As partners, the two have saved Kong Ming a lot of effort. It can be said that those who can keep up with his wild thinking in this world will decide to be included.

"This is a creation move!" Locke stuttered his sigh. At this moment, he found that his words were so poor. No one had ever thought about this in a world without Kong Ming, but in Kong Ming's hands, nothing could ever appear in his mouth. If all this comes true, the human race will dominate this continent and be the master of his own destiny.
