Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 641 Shock
What is flying in the sky?
Near the North Canal, where Erjia lived in the [-]th capital of Wuqing, an old man sitting outside his house basking in the sun accidentally glanced at the sky, and saw a monster he had never seen before.

The monster flew high, he knew that.

Because he could only see a vague outline, this proved that the monster flew at least a mile or two high.

And if you see a person at this distance, it looks about the size of a fly.

The problem is, this monster looks as long as the palm of your hand from such a long distance, just like a weaving shuttle.

In other words, this monster is at least dozens of times bigger than a human!
What the hell is this monster?

He couldn't help pointing at the monster and said, "Look, what is that?"

The people nearby couldn't help but look in the direction of his finger when they heard the words.

Soon, a pot exploded nearby, and hundreds of people from hundreds of households in Lierjia were almost looking up with their necks up.

"Wow, what a big bird."

A ten-year-old child couldn't help but exclaimed.

If Cheng Jiashuo heard that they were a bird, he would probably fall headfirst from the hanging basket.

Is there such a big bird in this world?
Of course, at such a long distance, he couldn't hear people's exclamation at all.

Now he is staring at the hourglass to calculate the time and distance.

It's been almost an hour, and they are still wandering around the North Canal north of Wubei City. It is estimated that they will not be able to fly to the capital if they don't go down to replenish fuel and water two or three times.

He opened the wooden box fixed on the floor again, took out the map and looked at it, then pointed to the map and said to the Jin Yiwei expert: "Let's go to Wuqing to replenish first, then go to Xianghe to replenish, and then go to Tongzhou to replenish, Finally go to the capital."

What the emperor requested was that he just need to go around the palace examination room before Youshi, so he didn't need to be in a hurry, even if he could only run about fifty miles in one hour, he could reach the capital before Youshi.

The most important thing on this road is to ensure that there is sufficient fuel and water. If you fall because of lack of fuel or cannot run without water, you will not be able to reach the capital.

After the hot air balloon flew in the air for more than an hour, Wuqing County was finally in sight, and the huge docking platform outside the city also appeared in the telescope.

Cheng Jiashuo quickly turned down the flames, and then ordered: "Hurry up, slow down, and prepare to land."

Hearing this, the Jinyiwei expert quickly shifted the steam engine to the lowest gear, and then quickly adjusted the flanks on both sides, so that the flanks became like birds grazing the ground.

The huge hot air balloon began to descend slowly, and the scenery on the ground became more and more clear.

At this time, the common people in Wuqing County had already seen this huge guy, and they also found that this huge guy was falling.

I don't know who exclaimed, and immediately after that, a large group of people rushed out of the city frantically while exclaiming.

They could all see clearly that this huge guy was falling towards the altar outside the city.

How did the hot air balloon land?
According to the method of European countries in history, it is to fall directly to about half a meter from the ground, and then a bunch of people rush up to block the gondola, slow down the hot air balloon, and then a bunch of people drag the gondola to the ground. On a cart with a wooden stand!

This method of manual braking is naturally wrong.

The method discussed by Taichang and Cheng Jiashuo is to hover and slow down, and then use the cable car to slowly pull the hot air balloon down.

This method is the same as the way they landed during the test. The key is that they need to control the hot air balloon to hover slowly within five feet above the docking platform, let the people below catch the cable, and then connect it to the cable car go.

At this time, a director of the Ministry of Industry has commanded two teams of soldiers from the Fifth Army Battalion to stand on the docking platform and wait in full force.

The head of the Ministry of Industry has also been trained. He was not in a hurry to ask the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion to fish for the rope, because he knew very well that if the hot air balloon didn't come down, the people below would pull the rope and yank the hanging basket.

In this way, people standing in the gondola will be in danger.

He waited until the hot air balloon had descended to a height of about five feet, and the cable had been dragged to the docking platform. Then he gave an order and ordered the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion to go up and grab the cable, and pull it directly to the cable car below. go up.

Cheng Jiashuo saw that the cable was connected, so he turned off the lights to the minimum, and then ordered: "Turn off the fire, turn off the fan, adjust the angle, and prepare to land."

They didn't know how many times they practiced this process. As long as the cable is connected to the cable car, there will be no problem.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the huge hot air balloon landed on the docking platform, and the hanging basket also fell into the groove in the middle.

The head of the Ministry of Industry on duty immediately waved his hand, led a group of soldiers from the Fifth Army Battalion, pushed several steps to surround the hanging basket, and then ordered people to turn the steps into the hanging basket.

Immediately afterwards, he took three generals of the Fifth Army Battalion, carrying three large copper pots, and poured into the hanging basket on the steps.

Cheng Jiashuo didn't hesitate, he just waved his hand and said: "Quick."

The head of the Ministry of Works hurriedly picked up the tool, quickly opened the lid of the boiler and the lid of the oil lamp below, and then waved his hand directly, ordering two generals of the Fifth Army Battalion to pour the water and oil in the copper pot into it.

Soon, the water in the boiler and the kerosene in the big oil lamp were filled.

The head of the Ministry of Industry brought two generals of the Fifth Army Battalion up the stairs, and quickly unscrewed the four small covers around the big oil lamp above, then stretched his head over and waved his hand.

The two generals of the Fifth Army Battalion immediately inserted the spouts of the copper pots into the two holes, and poured them vigorously.

Soon, the head of the engineering department raised his hand and said loudly: "Slow down, we're almost there, okay, stop."

Two generals of the Fifth Army Battalion pulled out two copper spouts from the inside and went down the stairs.

The head of the Ministry of Works quickly tightened the small cover, then ran down the stairs and waved: "Remove the stairs."

With a "wow", the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion who had already prepared turned over together, and several steps were retracted.

The whole process took less than half an hour, which is not bad.

Cheng Jiashuo immediately turned up the lights, and then waved: "Remember to loosen the cable in advance."

The head of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your official understands, I wish you a smooth journey."

Soon, the huge hot air balloon lifted off again and continued to fly north.

Seeing this, all the common people in Wuqing, who were blocked by the soldiers of the Fifth Army Battalion, opened their mouths wide in amazement.

That such a big guy can fly in the sky is simply too shocking.

Cheng Jiashuo was rushing all the way to the capital, but Taichang was very anxious sitting there.

Because this is the first time a hot air balloon has really taken off, he doesn't even know if Cheng Jiashuo can control the height of the hot air balloon.

Fortunately, after more than two hours, the clippers finally arrived at Taiyechi Wharf one after another.

After the people on the fast boat got off the boat, they rushed towards the Huangji Hall without even thinking about it.

These are Jin Yiwei who observed the hot air balloon on the canal, and they all came to report the location of the hot air balloon to Taichang.

Taichang was a little relieved when he heard that the hot air balloon had successfully taken off in Wubei City.

Immediately afterwards, Jin Yiwei, who reported the location of the hot air balloon, ran over like crucian carp crossing the river.

"Report, Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng has arrived over the North Canal in a hot air balloon."

"Report, Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng has arrived outside Wuqing County for supplies in a hot air balloon."

"Report, Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng has already resupplied outside Wuqing County in a hot air balloon, and continues to take off."

"Report, Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng has arrived outside Xianghe County for supplies in a hot air balloon."

"Report, Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng has already resupplied outside Xianghe County in a hot air balloon, and continues to take off."

When Taichang received the news, he became more and more excited.

When the candidates saw this, they became more and more frightened.

What the hell happened?
The emperor was presiding over the palace examination, and Jin Yiwei kept running over to report.

This is not where the war happened!

How did they know that Taichang was going to give them a big surprise.
