Datang Longya

Chapter 503 Hot Air Balloon Experiment

Now, the more Li Shimin thought about it, the more he felt that what Leng Feng said made sense.

Ever since, Leng Feng, who was researching asbestos nets, somehow received a gift from Li Shimin with a pot of old wine.

Inexplicably, Leng Feng got a jug of old wine, and almost thought that Li Shimin wanted to poison himself with poisoned wine.

Really, inexplicably giving away a jug of wine to dry hair!

The mining of asbestos mines went smoothly. Although this thing is particularly unfriendly to people, at the request of Leng Feng, the miners who mined asbestos mines were armed to every part of their bodies.

Under such protection, only a few idiots who disassembled the labor protection equipment without authorization were injured, and the others were fine.

Asbestos was indeed mined, but how to use it made Leng Feng worry.
Looking at piles of asbestos that looked like cotton wool, Leng Feng wanted to turn it into an asbestos net, but he didn't know how to do it.

Professional matters should be handled by professional people, so Leng Feng wrote to the shopkeeper of Jiangnan Cloth Workshop, sending some asbestos, explaining the benefits, and asking him to help find a solution.

Not long after, Chen Kun sent over a hundred slave weavers and a sample.

From Leng Feng's side, the asbestos, which seemed impossible to deal with, could only obediently turn into asbestos cloth in the hands of others.

The people sent by Chen Kun are all slaves who have signed the contract.The slavery system in Datang was still backward. For slaves who did not have human rights, the slaves were beaten, scolded and given away, but no one cared about them.Although it is written in the law of the Tang Dynasty that those who beat domestic servants to death for no reason can stick thirty sticks, none of the lonely souls in the mass graves can be exonerated.

Chen Kun's meaning was very clear, he didn't want to get involved in this highly confidential matter at all, but Leng Feng had a request, so he could only send some slaves and slave deeds, and then stayed away from it.

With professionals, the asbestos net required by Leng Feng was quickly made.

With its silk-covered hot-air balloon sphere, the flames are no longer dangerous.

After many days of hard work by Leng Feng, Gongshu Li, Li Tai and other talents changed the title of "flying lantern" into a hot air balloon.Although the Flying Lantern screaming is also good, but Leng Feng really can't stand this sense of disobedience.

The thick silk from the Jiangnan cloth workshop has also been in place. Under Leng Feng's command, the slaves sewed the thick silk into long strips with a wide middle and narrow sides according to his requirements, and finally sewed them together to complete a It looks like a huge elongated sphere.

The preparatory work is almost done here.

For the rest, it depends on whether Gongshu Li can make a gasoline blowtorch.

To be honest, Leng Feng doubted whether Gongshuli could make a suitable and safe gasoline tank at this moment when there was not much good sealing material.

Facts have proved that the Gongshu family still has a few brushes. After more than a dozen explosions, Gongshuli brought the successful gasoline blowtorch to Lengfeng.

For the secret experiment of hot air balloons, Leng Feng and others specially opened up another piece of land near Jingleisi.

Looking at the workers who were starting to assemble the hanging basket ropes and other things, Gong Shuli covered his chest with one hand, and tremblingly said to Leng Feng: "Duke Xi, can this hot air balloon be successful? Or, can I let the old man go up and try it himself?" ?”

Knowing that this experiment is an opportunity for the elderly to realize their dreams, however, Leng Feng still feels that it is safer not to arrange people to experiment with such a dangerous thing.

"Old man, this is just the first experiment. We can't be in a hurry. For the first time, no one can experiment on it anyway, otherwise it's extremely inhumane. Actually, I arranged for a pig to go up, hehe, hehe. "

Obviously, Mr. Li, who was defeated by others, wanted to go up, but he arranged for a pig to go up. Why, why does this sound like an insult?

Gong Shuli didn't think too much about it. Seeing that Leng Feng insisted on not letting him go up, he had no choice but to give up this idea, limped to the assembly place, and personally checked whether the ropes were the same length and whether they were fastened securely.
For him, this hot air balloon is his last chance to realize his dream.

At least, Gong Guogong is sure that this hot air balloon can go to the sky, but that plane cannot be researched in a short while.At this point in his 85 years, he has no desire to see a plane that can fly freely.

As long as this hot air balloon can fly!

Because of the test flight of the hot air balloon today, Li Chengqian came to watch on behalf of his father. Seeing that Master and Gong Shuli had stopped talking, he approached Master and asked, "Master, this time there is a lot of trouble in the court because of my rectification of the East Palace." It's too late, why don't you come forward to help the apprentice!"

Leng Feng smiled slightly, and patted Li Chengqian's head: "You still can't see clearly the division of power in the court. The civil and military are not a family, and the civil officials are quarreling because of your affairs, but if Master speaks on behalf of the military to support you.

Hehe, believe it or not, Fang Xuanling and the others who originally supported you will immediately defect and stand with Wei Zheng and the others. At that time, it will be a civil and military dispute. "

Li Chengqian sighed. In the court hall, there are clearly things that should be justified, but it is not necessarily the right side that wins. How should I put it, the court hall is a place where there is no boundary between right and wrong, black and white, and it is chaotic.

His emperor father said that when he can learn to help the reasonable to win and help the unreasonable to win, then he will be a good emperor.

To be honest, he always found it strange to say this.

"Master, my disciple thinks that Ma Zhou is very good. I want to call him to the East Palace to help my disciples comment on current affairs. What do you think?"

"Ma Zhou"

Leng Feng thought for a while, he didn't have a deep impression of Ma Zhou, he just remembered that this man seemed to be very capable and had been a prime minister.

However, like Wang Bo, he was short-lived, so he was not very famous in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Being able to become a prime minister shows that this person is still very capable.

"This person is good, but he probably won't live long, so when it's time to ask for advice, ask for advice, and when it's time to extend favors, don't be stingy. Just treat him better."

Li Chengqian looked at his master strangely, this Ma Zhou had only appeared for a few days, how could his master know him so well?As far as he knows, Ma Zhou suffers from diabetes, which is an incurable disease, and the sick people will become thinner and weaker until they die from lack of vitality.

Master, how did you know that this guy didn't have a long life?
Leng Feng didn't say anything. To be honest, he could predict many things in the eyes of people nowadays.

Coming from later generations, especially the history of Tang Dynasty who has been supplemented for a period of time, he knows too many things.This kind of prediction is much more direct than Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang's pushback.

Preparations are almost complete.

Today the weather is clear and cloudless, with a slight breeze, though present.

This weather environment is most suitable for the test flight of hot air balloons.

A pig weighing about [-] kilograms was lifted into the basket under the hot air balloon, and a parachute was put on its two front legs, in case the hot air balloon failed, and by the way, it was tested to see if the parachute would cause serious problems.

It was still the question of "humanitarianism". Although there were many guys in the shadow guard who were struggling to help Leng Feng experiment with the parachute, Leng Feng still did not agree.

How much is a dead pig? If a person died because of the experiment, it would be an incalculable loss.
