Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 370 Looking for the Hot Air Balloon Dunhuafang Liar

"Fifth brother, what are you looking for?"

Li Mingda looked at Li You who was constantly searching and asked curiously.

The location here is Li You's warehouse in Dunhuafang. There are various items that Li You brought back from modern times, but most of them are from the 70s or 80s.

Moreover, these items are not very abrupt in Datang at this time.

"That's it. That's it!"

Li You said three things in a row, but he just didn't know how to say it. What he was looking for at this time was the cloth and propane for the hot air balloon he bought in the second time traveling to modern times.

Some people may ask, why are you looking for this? Did you make a bet with someone?
Hey. Where does Li You have time to bet with others? He himself is very busy now. While he is busy not to be harassed by the prince and Wei Wang, he is also busy with the construction of Dunhuafang. The task given by the ghost system.

Find the cloth and propane for the hot air balloon, just to complete the artificial rainfall mission.

According to Li You's understanding, the so-called artificial rainfall refers to the process of artificially supplementing certain necessary conditions for the formation of precipitation based on the principle of natural precipitation formation, so as to promote the rapid condensation or collision of cloud droplets and increase into raindrops, which then fall to the ground.

The method is to choose the right time according to the physical characteristics of different clouds, and use airplanes and rockets to sow catalysts such as dry ice, silver iodide, and salt powder into the clouds to make the clouds precipitate or increase the amount of precipitation, so as to relieve or alleviate the drought of farmland and increase the amount of irrigation water in the reservoir. Or water supply capacity, or increase the amount of water for power generation, etc.

Li You has no anti-aircraft artillery, let alone rockets and airplanes, so how does Li You carry out artificial rainfall?

Li You thought about it for a long time. At one point, he almost lost his taste in eating. Later, Li You suddenly thought of hot air balloons. Although he didn't have an airplane, Li You could make hot air balloons and then put them into the sky.

Buy some silver iodide from modern times. Silver iodide is a compound of iodine and silver, yellow powder (558 degrees ~), decomposes when exposed to light, absorbs a lot of heat, turns gray first and then black, insoluble in water and ammonia, used for photography and artificial The nuclei of rain.

Then he shoots at the cloud layer containing rain with a bow and arrow, and Li You believes that it will be successful, because the silver iodide used by Li You is the best rain urging agent, and it is also very important that the success of artificial rainfall was during World War II.

There were indeed planes at that time, but the altitude of the planes was not very high. As long as the clouds can be found, it should be possible to fly hot air balloons.

The first person who discovered artificial rainfall was named Xie Fu. He completed his experiment very early. It should be a cold day in November. Xie Fu and Langmuir saw a cloud appearing in the sky.

Xie Fu immediately boarded the plane.

He knew that it would likely take a long time to fly to find suitable cloud cover for spreading dry ice.This is a large gray cloud filled with water vapor.Xie Fu chose the right time to start the machine, and the dry ice fell into the clouds like a trailing streamer.

Halfway through the spraying, the dry ice lowered the surrounding air temperature and even stopped the plane's engine.Xie Fu was quick to wit, and immediately threw all the remaining dry ice from the cabin window into the clouds below.

Dr. Langmuir, who was waiting on the ground, looked up at the white snowflakes falling from the clouds, and was very excited. When Xie Fu stepped off the plane, his whole body was blue with cold, and Langmuir cheered and ran to meet him. , Excitedly shouted: "You have created a miracle in history!"

Schaefer's experiment has indeed opened a new page in the history of human influence on the weather.

From then on, over the pastures, fields and mountains, the planes of scientists often flew, and they poured dry ice in the clouds, so that the crystal raindrops moistened the roots of thirsty plants.

It's just that after this Fu discovered that artificial rain can be formed by freezing, he no longer painstakingly searched for substances that can form the center of water droplets.

A later scientist named Bernard Vonnegut was not satisfied with Schaeffer's conclusion.

Just like the young Xie Fu was interested in exploring unknown things.He believed that Atkin's conclusions about the tiny particles in the center of raindrops were valid.He searched extensively, hoping to find a chemical with the right size and shape to form the center of a water bead or ice crystal.Vonnegut settled on silver iodide.

Once the silver iodide rain catalyst was used, it soon became more widely used than dry ice; because silver iodide can be easily launched from the ground into the clouds with simple devices, it is not as troublesome as the use of dry ice.Using dry ice can also be dangerous at times.Several times huge blocks of dry ice crashed into the roof, gouging holes and causing panic.

After summing up the deeds of the two, Li You thought of using a hot air balloon to rise into the sky, and then shoot a bow and arrow filled with silver iodide at the cloud with water vapor. Although he didn't know if it would succeed, Li You believed that it should be his The only chance to experiment.

It's just that after buying the materials for the hot air balloon, things changed, and the dream of flying was no longer in sight. Li You had already forgotten where to put the cloth for the hot air balloon in the warehouse.

Didn't this bring Li Mingda to the warehouse to look for it now.

As for this warehouse, only a few people have come in, namely Li You, Li Mingda, Li Zhi, Quan Zhixi, Xiao Yan, etc. Ordinary people are still not allowed to enter, because there is strict protection here, basically No one will come within 100 meters of this warehouse.

"What is it?" Li Mingda looked at Li You's faltering, with a doubtful expression in his small eyes: "If you don't make it clear, how can I help you find it?"

"It's the cloth I got back last time, the blue one, I didn't tell you to use it to fly!" Li You tried his best to explain.

"Ah!" Finally, Li Mingda gave an 'ah', nodded quickly and said: "I remembered, fifth brother, you said you wanted to fly into the sky. At that time, I thought you were stupid, and only Bao'er was looking forward to it." .!"

This person, you can’t talk about people in broad daylight, as soon as you talk about people, people will come.

"Young Master!" Yaoyu stood at the door and said, "Di Renjie, Xiao Baoer, and Su Qingjie came together and said they had finished their homework, please check it!"

"Oh, they're here." Li Mingda was overjoyed, and immediately prepared to run out the door. The four of them were a group called the Dunhuafang Four Liars. Of course, they didn't think they were the Four Liars, but called themselves the Four Liars. The magician of Dunhuafang.

This name was actually given by Li You.

On an extremely boring day, Li You directly grabbed Li Mingda by his side, saying that he wanted to play a game for his beloved sister. The content of the game was something Li You saw on a certain modern video.

Tie a wooden box on your right hand, get something in it, then find three wooden boxes, grab one of the three wooden boxes with your right hand and shake it, there will be a sound, but the sound does not come from the three wooden boxes It is the wooden box tied to Li You's right hand.

Then randomly change the position of the wooden box, and let others guess which wooden box contains something.

One time consistent money.

My darling, it's not easy! Li Mingda's mouth was almost crooked. She felt that it was her fifth brother who had his head twitched, and then came to give her money, but she didn't know that a big trick was waiting for Li Mingda.

The final result was that Li Mingda lost nearly a thousand guan with Li You.

That day, Li Mingda ran to Concubine Yin's palace and cried for almost half an hour, saying that Fifth Brother cheated him of his money. His pitiful appearance caused Concubine Yin to bring people directly to Li You's residence, not only bringing Li Mingda's One thousand guan was taken away, and Li Mingda also robbed several hundred guan.

In this way, Li Mingda became happy.

However, when Li Mingda wanted to know what trick Li You was playing.Li You didn't say anything, seeing that Concubine Yin wanted the money back, she left by herself, and she wanted to go back to play mahjong.

It's just that Li Mingda is too curious, how stupid is he? He clearly sees it with his eyes, but every time he picks it up, he never does it. It's a shame that no matter how coquettish and cute he is, Li You just doesn't tell Li Mingdong.

This made the little guy angry.

In the end, there was really no other way. When Li You was taking a bath, Li Mingda broke in directly and looked at Li You who was shivering in the tub and protecting himself with a towel.

Li Mingda's request is very simple, just tell her, how did the magic trick work?

Li You didn't want to say it, but he didn't expect his old sister to be so shameless, with a pair of black eyes, she looked at herself in the water basin motionlessly, making Li You feel hairy.

In the end, under strong mental pressure, Li You still confessed.

Knowing that the deception was so simple, Li Mingda left satisfied. It was just this walk that earned him the title of the top four liars in Dunhuafang.

Soon, Li Mingda called together his three little followers, Di Renjie, Xiao Baoer, and Su Qingjie, who were known as Li Mingda's most loyal henchmen. These four people locked their first target on Li Zhi, who took advantage of him.

At the beginning, Li Zhi was the same as Li Mingda back then, thinking that his sister had a brain twitch and gave him money. That was a ten-shot, Li Zhi smirked and wanted to pocket Li Mingda's ten-shot middle.

But when Li Zhi picked up the wooden box full of information and shook it, his face immediately changed, because there was no sound at all, and he had chosen the wrong one.

"Hahahaha!" Soon, the arrogant laughter of Li Mingda and others sounded from the side.

Following Li Zhi's self-confidence was hit, because in the subsequent games, Li Zhi lost more than 1 puns, from once in ten puns at the beginning, to once in [-] puns, and once in [-] puns.

Li Zhi lost completely.

Originally, Li Zhi wanted to renege on his debt, but Li Mingda probably also expected that his own strength was not enough, so he called his three followers to his side, Xiao Baoer, Di Renjie, and Su Qingjie directly surrounded Li Zhi like this.

In the end, Li Zhi really had no choice. After giving [-] guan of money, he gave [-] guan of flying money, and the rest was an IOU.

You don't know how miserable Li Zhi cried when he saw Li You.
