I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 122 Hot Air Balloon

The professor frowned, thinking of silk, linen and other messy textiles in his mind, but he couldn't think of how these flammable materials could be suitable for this kind of thing.

"Please make it clear, the virtuous king."

"I'm not saying that the rubber is bad, but that there's something wrong with your production method. It's melted and formed into one piece and then sewn together?"

The professor nodded.

The thickness is as high as several centimeters, and it is sewn together like a splicing.

They can't think of other ways to make it.

Qin Mu stepped forward and carefully looked at the seams.

"The holes are too large and the density is not enough. If you ascend to high altitude, you will face the danger of decomposition."

"Then if the weaving process mentioned by King Xian is used, wouldn't it cause high pressure to crack and air leak, how can it fly?"

Professors also have a temper, and it is most unacceptable to be denied their own experiments.

Qin Mu smiled, "Professor, I value your project very much. Although what I said is ugly, you can give it a try."

"The virtuous king Mingjian, I just do my best and dare not slack off in the slightest."

"Hey, you don't need to be so polite with me. The scientific research depends on you. Come and try it out!"

Huge hot air balloon slowly lifts into the sky.

Inside the hanging basket is a kerosene stove and a fire control valve to control the rise, fall, elevation, and lowering of the hot air balloon at any time.

Moreover, in order to solve the steering problem, after many tests, it was found that there was no way.

It can only rely on manpower to control the wind direction and other factors to make the hot air balloon turn.

The raging flames emitted enormous heat.

I have to admire how powerful it is to create hot air balloons in this era.

Every person who took the hot air balloon test has gone through a huge test, as well as the pressure of life and death.

High in the sky, full of the unknown and the fear of falling at any time.

This experiment is also to ensure safety. After all, there are thousands of people watching, and the experimenters are strapped with various scuba made of cowhide.

That is to say, the cowhide is sewn and filled with water as a relief device.

Moreover, the professor was inspired by the hot air balloon project and made a parachute!
It looks like a hot air balloon, but it doesn't need any high temperature, etc. It only needs to be tied to a person's body and fall from mid-air, and use the principle of air injection to get slow speed.

The last line of protection is the cable, more than five kilometers long, tied to the balloon's basket.

As the hot air balloon gets higher and higher, people standing on the ground can only see about half the original size.

something unexpected may happen any time!

Just as everyone raised their arms and shouted, a strong wind passed by, and the cable was directly disconnected from the basket.

It fell to the ground and injured several people!

Soon, people from the hospital showed up and took him away. Qin Mu didn't blame him, but still stared at the hot air balloon flying.

The professor was so anxious that he hurriedly yelled at the academy.

"What are you doing in a daze, chase after me!"

"Professor, will you?"

The college trembled and watched the hot air balloon fly away from the intended destination.

"What will happen? If something happens, we will all lose our heads, so hurry up and chase me!"

One person and one horse ran after them.

Qin Mu shook his head: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look, and we will probably land at the border of Liangzhou and other places."

This place is dozens of kilometers away from the original goal, but fortunately, the speed is not fast.

It took hours to find the place.

Just outside the wall of the section of the Great Wall in Liangzhou, the border garrison is tightly guarded, and no one is allowed to approach.

"The virtuous king is here, get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

As the horse galloped, it stopped with a sigh.

Qin Mu and the exhausted professor ran to the position of the hot air balloon in two or three steps.

The original experimenter had already turned pale and fainted
He snorted, but fortunately there was nothing wrong, he must have been frightened.

However, the strange smell all over the floor made the professor blush!

What a shame!

"Professor, I'm right. This kind of production method will lead to collapse and air leakage, and no amount of heat can sustain it."

"What the virtuous king said is that the ministers are ashamed!"

Qin Mu waved his hand, "Research is to explore the impossible step by step in the eyes of others. It is very rare for you to have an idea and put it into action. I don't blame you, but sometimes you have to learn from the experience of failure."

"Your Majesty, excuse me, I wonder if the weaving technology you mentioned earlier is like making silk?"

"It can be said that, but the production of hot air balloon jerseys requires more complicated craftsmanship, and the tight weaving requires strict control."

"What kind of material do you use? Hemp thread, cotton thread, and branch fiber, we've tried them all, but it's not as good as glue."

"What I'm talking about is not these things, but a special skill. Rubber itself is suitable for making these things, but it needs to be used in the right way. Do you know the metal wire drawing?"

The professor nodded, and suddenly thought of something in his mind, and he was very pleasantly surprised.

"Your Majesty, I have thought about it. You mean, use rubber to do the drawing process, make it like silk and then weave it?"

"That's right, it's best to put a metal coat on the outside, which is also made of metal braiding to increase toughness."

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. The metal wire drawing can't be made thinner until now. In addition, the result of the wire drawing is not ideal. It will break when it reaches three meters at most."

"It's okay, take your time, this project will continue to invest, and it will be applied to various occasions in the future."

Hearing this, the professor felt like a stone fell to the ground.

As long as the funds are okay, not to mention metal wire drawing, even gold wire drawing is fine!

Although this incident ended in failure, the repercussions it caused were very large.

Especially in Chang'an City.

Originally fell into silence, as if people waiting to be slaughtered in despair suddenly boiled.

Tai Chi Temple.

Li Tai was furious, but also full of fear.

Unknown and mysterious, the most disturbing!
"What's going on, what exactly does Qin Mu want to do?"

"Your Majesty, according to reports from spies, an unidentified flying object has appeared in the Liangzhou border area, and there are people on it, causing panic among the people and rumors of fear of gods!"

As a member of the royal family, Li Tai naturally didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but he felt a little guilty.

The current situation is not only the shocking situation created by Qin Mu, but also the common people think that the gods are angry, and the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals will come to accept the court.
In the past, the Confucian Temple was bombed, and in the end, the gods were angry.

The combination of the two events indicates that the Tang Dynasty is facing a crisis of destruction!

There was something weird about the whole thing.

The minister had a different opinion, "Your Majesty, no matter what the folk rumors are, if Qin Mu really made something like this, we will face the greatest crisis!"

"That's right, this thing can carry war supplies, and even drop troops in mid-air!"

Qin Qiong is worthy of being a general, and he can see the point at a glance.

Hearing this, Li Tai was sitting on the dragon chair with dull eyes.

He couldn't imagine that if this continued, what else would Qin Mu come up with.

It is said that it is to recuperate, let the court relax for a few years and recover, and put down the rebellion again.

But now, there is less and less hope!
