    When the apprentices have achieved results, the master will naturally check and encourage them.

    In fact, this is what Fang Lei and Liu Mingyou meant.

    On the one hand, it¡¯s to show off, but more importantly, it¡¯s to say to Liu Mingqi, do you think your apprentice is pretty good?

    In their hearts, especially Fang Lei¡¯s, Liu Mingqi is simply a god.

    He is not a saint in learning knowledge as ordinary people think, but a god in this physical discipline.

    "As long as you look at Liu Mingqi's understanding of physics, and his casual and wonderful way of being able to pick up any knowledge he wants, you can only be amazed.

    It is completely at the level of founding a sect, and it is absolutely unprecedented.

    Fang Lei felt extremely lucky to be able to learn from such a master, and to be able to make some achievements, he wanted Liu Mingqi to watch, just like a child presenting a treasure to an adult.

    Under the protection of hundreds of guards, Liu Mingqi and others rode their horses to a flat area twenty miles outside the Imperial City.

    A circular fence has been built here, covering an area of ??about ten acres.

    More than 20 large and small rooms were built inside, either for temporary residence of craftsmen or for stacking various equipment.

    Because of this, the houses are generally well built, all made of mud bricks, and can be protected from wind and rain without any problems.

    There is also a pioneering area in the middle of the area, where a large balloon is parked.

    ¡°Just buying this piece of land in Fang Lei¡¯s name cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention the subsequent expenses.

    The young man dismounted and took a look at the manufacturing components of the hot air balloon.

    The fabric of the large balloon is made of burlap, which itself was the material used in the first manned balloon.

    Then alum is also applied inside, which also prevents fire from burning.

    The rope is also made of hemp rope soaked in oil, and the outside is also coated with alum, which makes it strong and will not burn.

    What¡¯s even more complicated is the hot air balloon¡¯s basket.

    In order to be strong, durable, and light enough, Fang Xiaopang changed many kinds of materials without Liu Mingqi¡¯s notice, and finally selected a rattan from Nanzhao.

    This kind of rattan has been repeatedly soaked in oil and dried in the sun. When woven, it can be used as armor, which cannot be penetrated by swords and arrows.

    I bought this kind of rattan, weaved it with skilled craftsmen, and applied several layers of fireproof alum. After making the basket, even if there were two accidents, the entire basket was not damaged.

    But later the little fat man thought it was a bit unlucky, so he changed it to another one.

    As a result, the new one succeeded again and again, and the little fat man proudly said that he really had a sharp eye and knew what was bad and what was good.

    The basket is almost one foot long and wide, which is about three meters long and wide. It can stand more than ten people without being crowded.

    But usually there are only three or five people standing there.

    Between the basket and the hot air balloon is the most important driving device.

    This device involves profound knowledge of dynamics and physics, so Liu Mingqi gave Fang Xiaopanghua detailed drawings, and he went to find craftsmen to carefully polish it.

    It took more than a dozen craftsmen more than a month to build this power unit alone.

    And the little fat man had the foresight to let them keep doing it. Even if they broke two before, they have saved a dozen so far.

    Under this device is a container about 50 centimeters square, which can hold up to 1,250 kilograms of fuel.

    According to this capacity, it is more than enough to run around the Imperial Palace, not to mention the entire Gyeonggi area.

    There is an igniter on the upper left side of the device. It is safe and convenient to use collodion to ignite the fire.

    The combustion port is set in an inverted cone shape, which allows the flame to blow higher and burn more fully.

    As soon as Liu Mingqi arrived, Fang Xiaopang behind him started shouting: "Come on, fill me up with fuel quickly, take safety measures, and bring the cotton-padded clothes and helmets, we are going to the sky again!"

    Dazhu and Fan Shan, who were behind Liu Mingqi, looked at each other.

    Are you going to ascend to heaven again?

    Why does it sound so unlucky?

    Liu Mingqi himself didn¡¯t care.

    Scientists cannot be superstitious.

    Behind Fang Xiaopang, Liu Mingyou also nodded, "This time!  "

    Liu Mingqi thought the same thing.

    The Jinming Pond, located three hundred meters west of the Imperial City, was dug using water from the Bian River that passes through the city. It is often used to train naval forces.

    It is indeed not small as it can accommodate hundreds of warships.

    But once the hot air balloon floats up, it can fly several miles in a short time, and you will have to fly out if you are not careful.

    What are really suitable for hot air balloons are my country¡¯s four major freshwater lakes.

    For example, Yunmengze, Chaohu, Poyang Lake, etc., these lakes are dozens or hundreds of miles in diameter, enough for a hot air balloon to float.

    "But you can give it a try in the future." Liu Mingqi suggested: "The hot air balloon must be suitable for different environments and climates so that the hot air balloon can be used for a wider range of purposes. Otherwise, the cold weather here will work, but the hot weather in the south  What should we do? What should we do about the freezing weather further northeast?"

    "OK!"

    Fang Lei became interested, "When it's empty here, we'll go with the hot air balloon and our assistants."

    "Don't forget to bring the craftsmen with you." Liu Mingqi said, "You all set out together, and I will provide you with a hundred guards. That will be no problem."

    "But I am a member of the clan!" Liu Mingyou felt depressed for a while.

    "The clan cannot leave the capital without the consent of Zong Zheng and the Emperor, but your matter is our experiment, so there is no problem." Fang Xiaopang assured him, "Who is our master? A saint! Who wouldn't give face to a saint?  ?¡±

    "That's right!"

    Liu Mingyou¡¯s mood suddenly improved.

    At this time, because there are sandbags inside the basket to weigh it down and the fuel valve is not opened wide, the hot air balloon does not fly very high.

    The test base was chosen in a wide area with few people around, so everyone could still have some leisure time.

    Including Dazhu and Fan Shan, they have become more natural after adapting to a height of more than fifty meters.

    "It's just a pain for the people below who ride horses and follow them."

    Seeing the hot air balloon flying higher and higher, their hearts became tighter and tighter.

    ¡°What if something happens to Prince Yu?¡±

    However, Liu Mingqi above did not understand their mood. Instead, he said to Fang Lei: "Come on, turn up the fire, let's go to the higher sky and see the scenery!"

    "Really?" Fang Lei looked at him in surprise.

    "Nonsense, just go up!" Liu Mingqi said proudly, "Your master and I have been to the sky above 10,000 meters, so what does this mean?"

    He was talking about the time when he was admitted to the First University of China. The county paid for it and allowed him to fly for the first and last time in his life.

    After that, I finally managed to get through it until I was about to start working after my two Ph.D. degrees, but suddenly I came to the Dakang Dynasty.

    Fang Lei obviously thought Liu Mingqi was bragging, but he admired this heroic spirit.

    When he was wondering whether he dared to raise the level, Liu Mingyou had already walked over and unscrewed the valve.

    "Peng"

    The fire increased fiercely, and the hot air balloon floated upwards.

    Dazhu and Fan Shan finally managed to stabilize themselves, but now looking at this scene, they feel a little weak again.

    But instead of being afraid, Liu Mingqi started singing.

    "I want to fly higher, fly higher, dance like the strong wind, break free from the embrace"

    Although she can no longer return to that world, Liu Mingqi is continuing her beautiful life in the Dakang Dynasty.

    This made him sigh with emotion, but also a little excited.

    Only by singing loudly can you express your feelings.

    In the air, several people listened to this unfamiliar way of singing, listened to this exciting emotion, and felt the artistic conception inside, feeling a little fascinated.

    The saint is indeed a saint. This kind of free and easy desire to ride the wind back home is really admirable!

    ¡­¡­

    Note: The first hot air balloon that carried animals to the sky burned wood chips It gave people the feeling of burning a fire on the stove.

    But it was this funny beginning that developed into a magnificent aerospace industry, which our ancestors did not think of at the time.
