However, after extensive investigation...
Only then can we know what obstacles and forces we will face in the future.
That way we can prepare countermeasures.
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "That's right."
"I'm going to the military camp,"
"There will be no class today."
"Student resigned."
Qin Hui refused to give a lecture.
He then took his leave with a look of disappointment on his face.
After Qin Hui left,
Zhao Yuan addressed Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wudao.
What do you think of this person?
Xu Guanzhong was not a pedantic person.
Naturally, he wouldn't say something as foolish as "a gentleman doesn't talk about people behind their backs."
Otherwise, no one will comment on others.
Does the Emperor have to personally inspect everyone?
Chapter 1740 Man Has Ascended to Heaven!
"He appears to be a loyal and filial person, and also very studious."
Zhu Wu, however, gave an irrelevant answer,
"This parachute is also a powerful weapon,"
"But I can't think of any use for it right now."
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "It's still quite inconvenient to use."
"And it's easy for things to go wrong."
"It doesn't have much use,"
"Perhaps it could be used in conjunction with hot air balloons."
Zhu Wu clapped his hands and said, "Yes,"
"You can jump out of a hot air balloon with a parachute,"
"They fell directly into the enemy's ranks."
Shi Yong is the most qualified to speak on parachutes.
Upon hearing this, he immediately replied,
"He was shot into a pincushion before he even landed."
Zhu Wu laughed and said, "We can jump to places where the enemy is not on guard."
Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "If the hot air balloon can carry many people, then there won't be a problem."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't make a difference if a few people jumped down."
Zhu Wu, however, was very optimistic about the military applications of these new technologies.
"What's the latest on the hot air balloon?"
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Hou Jian is leading people to conduct research at Jinming Pond."
"They just reported yesterday that it can already fly,"
"Let's go take a look."
Shi Yong said, "The fabric used for the parachutes was selected by Hou Jian."
"It is both sturdy and windproof."
"The hot air balloon needs to be big enough,"
"And it has to be airtight,"
"It can't be too heavy yet,"
"Hou Jian tried many types of cloth and paper before he succeeded."
Zhao Yuan initially conceived the idea of making hot air balloons.
I think the biggest challenge might be the material of the balloon.
We don't have high-tech materials right now.
The only thing usable is probably cloth.
Therefore, Zhao Yuan assigned Hou Jian, the long-armed ape, to take charge of this matter.
Hou Jian was known as the top tailor in the martial arts world.
He naturally had an excellent understanding of all kinds of fabrics.
Moreover, Hou Jianfei's needlework is superb.
If someone could sew something that is airtight...
That must be Hou Jian.
After the Great Liang captured Tokyo,
Hou Jian was then in charge of designing the imperial robes.
Although he still works as a tailor
However, they were now officials with official ranks.
After Hou Jian heard that the King of Liang wanted him to sew something that could fly,
He immediately dropped all his work.
They moved to Jinmingchi.
Staying indoors and not going out,
They were hiding in Jinmingchi to develop hot air balloons.
Jinmingchi, however, was the most ideal testing ground.
It is spacious enough.
Moreover, ordinary people are not allowed to enter on ordinary days.
After Zhao Yuan decided to build hot air balloons
They even petitioned the emperor to designate Jinming Pond as a forbidden area.
Officials are not allowed to go in for sightseeing.
Most importantly, it has higher security.
As long as it doesn't rise to a height of tens of meters...
Even if it falls into the water,
Their lives will not be in great danger.
The principle of a hot air balloon is very simple.
However, building a hot air balloon that can carry people is not a simple task.
Hou Jian racked his brains,
That's when I came up with the idea of combining cloth and paper.
They successfully produced a qualified hot air balloon.
Everyone wanted to see what made people fly in this era.
His warhorse also sped up a bit.
Having just entered Jinming Pond,
Then they saw a balloon, as big as a house, floating several meters in the air.
There was also a basket hanging below.
There was also a metal box between the basket and the balloon.
It is burning fiercely.
There were about ten ropes securing the basket to the ground underneath.
It was as if the rope had been loosened.
Then it will soar straight to the heavens.
Everyone saw the hot air balloon flying in the air.
His eyes widened immediately.
Zhao Yuan was also a little excited.
Although later generations had many more tools that could fly into the sky
But this era undoubtedly only had hot air balloons.
It can enable humanity to realize its dream of flying.
Below the hot air balloon was a wooden frame built in the water, resembling a modern rocket launch silo.
This was definitely not done with Zhao Yuan's prompting.
It was Hou Jian and others who figured it out.
Those in the pond also saw King Liang and his entourage.
They hurriedly rowed their boat to welcome him to the pond.
"Greetings to the King of Liang."
Hou Jian jumped ashore.
Greet loudly,
His face also betrayed his pride and smugness.
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "I thought it would take a while."
"I didn't expect it to be done so quickly,"
"Everyone has worked hard. Here is a reward of one hundred strings of cash for each of you."
Hou Jianguan was promoted one rank.
"Thank you for the reward, King Liang."
"Thank you for the reward, King Liang."
The sailors and craftsmen on the ship heard that each of them would be rewarded with one hundred strings of cash.
He hurriedly and loudly expressed his gratitude.
They also expected that the King of Liang would bestow rewards upon them.
But I never expected to receive such a large reward.
Their work wasn't particularly strenuous.
In other words, the naval soldiers caught a chill while building a platform in the water.
Zhao Yuan laughed and asked, "How high can this hot air balloon fly?"
Hou Jian shook his head and said, "This hasn't been tested yet."
"If you fly higher, people outside Jinming Pond will be able to see it."
