Goose Three Kingdoms

Chapter 603 First Flight Competition
Guanzhong Longshouyuan, the construction site of the research institute.

When Huang Chengyan drove here, he found that the research institute was built on the edge of a lake in the southern part of Longshouyuan, and several tents had been set up nearby.

Under the scorching sun, more than 10,000 people worked, digging foundations, compacting the ground, and digging and building brick kilns.

Boats travelled back and forth, carrying all kinds of prefabricated wood and lime.

When we got closer, we found that there were many large pots boiling glutinous rice soup. They were building houses for the research institute with the same attitude as building a city wall.

In the largest tent, Huang Yueying repeatedly fiddled with the abacus with extremely fast hands and great skill.

When Black Bear calculated the ratio of buoyancy to the volume of the flying lantern, Huang Yueying had almost figured it out.

The biggest advantage for her was the convenient circulation of cloth in Guanzhong, and people also had the habit of using cloth as subsidiary currency.

But if you want to lift an adult into the air, you have to add the weight of the basket and fuel, which requires a larger, tougher and more sturdy flying lantern.

In order to carry as many people as possible into space, she has decided to find a slender girl from Jingchu to reduce the difficulty of ascension.

Even the material of the flying lanterns does not require double bonding, painting on both sides, and repeatedly brushing paint to solidify after shaping.

Just make a layer of silk, fit it and fix it, then paint the inside and simply solidify it.

She took up a pen to record her ideas and also needed to make a model to verify them, which had to be completed before September.

This year's Double Ninth Festival banquet invites officials and celebrities to the banquet. If a manned flight is completed before that, it will make one famous overnight.

She had the support of her husband and Zhen Mi, but she was always surrounded by competitive pressure.

There are three mainstream flying techniques now. One of them is the Kongming lantern. The other two are flying kites with people on board. There is also one that modifies a person's arms with wings, and then takes off from a high place with the help of the wind.

In August, the north wind is strong, and the Feiyuan Sect scholars will not waste this opportunity.

Whether or not someone would be killed by the fall was no longer important.

Huang Yueying had just put the notebook into the wooden box she carried with her when Xin Xianying, the maid assigned to her by Zhen Mi, came in with a name card and said, "Madam."

She handed over her name card. Huang Yueying saw that it was her father and immediately realized the purpose of the visit: "Prepare refreshments. They are in the side room. Take a few people to clean up here. Don't leave any writing or drawings behind."

"Here."

Xin Xianying was selected because she was an outstanding student. Not only was she the best among her peers, but even the maids who were three or four years older than her did not learn as fast as her.

Naturally, he was recruited by Zhen Mi as an assistant to help manage the Dongxiang Duzhi account books.

Huang Yueying did not dare to let the wooden box leave her side. She put the wooden box in a cross-body leather bag. After making sure the lock of the bag was secure, she walked out of the tent to greet her father. Her two personal female guards immediately followed.

Huang Yueying didn't want to meet guests unless necessary.

When Qin Mi returned from Shu, he brought with him many Shu scholars who were weavers. These people were truly not afraid of death and were fanatics of the Feiyuan Sect.

The followers of Tianshi Dao from Hanzhong formed the Yuyi Modification Sect.

Both sides constantly received reports of injuries from experiments, which forced Huang Yueying to carefully keep her data.

In a tent not far away, another maid prepared tea, served a dish of sesame oil sweet cakes, and then left.

Huang Chengyan held the small bowl, squeezed the dough with a wooden spoon, and put it into his mouth to taste.

After tasting a few spoonfuls, he said: "The sweet pastry in Guanzhong is different, it is sweeter than that in Xiangyang."

He drank tea and said, "Since Huang Zu was conferred the title of King of E, the clan has been in fear. When they learned that Yueying was conferred the title of Lord Changming for making Kongming lanterns, the clan was at peace. When I came, the clan had collected 500 gold and 3,000 pieces of cloth and silk and had already loaded them on a ship from Nanxiang. It will arrive in Guanzhong in five or six days."

Jingzhou has undergone tremendous changes in recent years, and the situation in other parts of the world has also changed rapidly.

Huang Chengyan suddenly felt that he could not keep up with the changes of the times, and now whether it was the steam engine or the Kongming lantern, he felt numb. After briefly describing the changes in the clan, he said: "The Grand Marshal restricts the movement of officials and civilians without reason. Without permission, the younger generation and servants in the clan are not allowed to enter the pass. If Yueying can smooth the connection, my Huang family alone can provide 500 strong men for use."

Huang Yueying held a crossbody bag under her left arm and held a tea bowl in her right hand, thinking: "From what my father said, my uncle and aunt also want to contribute?"

"Yes, it will definitely not be less than that of the clan."

Huang Chengyan sighed as he spoke: "The Grand Marshal has put strict restrictions. More than a thousand young men, servants, and scholars from Jingxiang and Nanyang from the two families have gathered in Nanxiang. They are just waiting for the shogunate's order to pass the customs. Yi Jibo also strongly supports it, but he dare not let them go easily."

"Father, I am indeed short of people here, but I still need to ask Madam Dongxiang to help me with this matter."

Huang Yueying was also in a dilemma, so she said, "In just the past two or three days, five scholars in Shu have been injured in falls. My daughter will never be injured in falls. If she fails, she will die. There is no room for error."

The Feiyuan Sect made rapid progress. The only limitation was the hot and stuffy weather and lack of wind in Guanzhong.

However, the places to Nanshan and Ganquan Mountain are remote and dangerous, or the wind is too strong. The Feiyuan Sect is unwilling to go there rashly before gaining mature and reliable experience.

Besides, to fly, you have to fly in public. Going to the mountains and soaring into the sky will be meaningless if it is not known or recognized by the world.

After hearing Huang Yueying's words, Huang Chengyan turned his head to look at the blue and cloudless sky outside the tent: "A real man should leave a great name in the world, why should he fear life and death?"

"Yes, my daughter will send a letter to Mrs. Dongxiang right away."

Huang Yueying agreed immediately. Her clansmen, relatives and younger generations were not afraid of falling to their deaths, so why should she refuse?
Even the chance of falling to death is not something that ordinary people can get.

She was not even going to give the first girl in her plan to the little Togo maid beside her, and was planning to find a girl of the right age within the tribe.

While she was writing the letter, Qin Mi's official document had already been sent to the Heyin camp.

Black Bear looked through the drawings attached to the document and frowned, "Miscalculated."

Fa Zheng sat aside and said, "Since the people of Bashu live together, they have always been brave and courageous. If they were weak, the fertile land of Shu would have long been turned into a pastoral paradise for the Badi and other barbarians."

This is an official document from Qin Mi requesting the secondment of the Iron Cavalry, mainly requesting the secondment of the Iron Cavalry's divine horses.

According to the Feiyuan School's idea, only the divine horses of the Iron Cavalry Team can pull the rope to pull the manned flying kite into the air.

Even the landing has been taken into consideration. It will be held on the banks of the Wei River, and then the kite will be controlled to glide and land on the Wei River.

As for the failed landing...that's not the point.

There is no need to usurp the ideas of the Feiyuan School. If this school continues to develop, more people will die. It is only a matter of time before they figure out aerodynamics and create an unpowered glider.

"The Iron Horse is a national secret weapon and will not be loaned out."

Black Bear pushed the document to Fa Zheng and said, "Arrange the itinerary and move out between the tenth and fifteenth day of July, depending on the weather conditions."

Fa Zheng noticed the change in Black Bear's demeanor and advised: "Your Majesty, General Taishi is the pillar of the country, you must not take any risks."

Black Bear looked into Fa Zheng's eyes and said, "If I give this opportunity to other subjects, he won't blame me, but he will definitely feel unfair. He has no shortage of martial arts reputation in his life, but what he lacks is this extraordinary reputation for bravery."

Fa Zheng seemed to understand and nodded slightly, looking very worried.

I can't wait for the long vines in Yizhou, nor can I wait for the newly woven cloth.

Black Bear immediately organized the women in the camp to sew the silk they carried with them, and waited for further processing after returning to Ganquan.

According to Huang Yueying's data, her hot air balloon can exchange about three cubic meters for one kilogram of load.

We take one thousand cubic meters as the standard here and reduce unnecessary supporting structures. Lu Bu's body density is higher, so if we give up unnecessary weight such as armor, he will be able to fly!
Just fly and gain this pioneering fame.

Then, the threshold to promotion to level eight has been broken.
