The seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month was a very memorable day in the entire Western Region campaign. Many old Tianshan herdsmen and medicinal collectors swore with their lives that the wind in the Tianshan Mountains would be the smallest today, and there would be no wind until the New Year. Better chance.
Since midnight, these people have been busy. The soldiers and civilians in Jinghe County watched hundreds of fires burning in the south of the city. The raging flames provided lighting and warmth to the surrounding soldiers. The strong northwest wind howled, and the temperature had reached below zero. More than thirty degrees!
Doro and Guan Lu were wearing two layers of fur, with soft lambskin jackets and leather trousers on the inside, and wolfskin cloaks on the outside, with hats covering their heads.
Just like this, the cold wind is still pervasive, and the northwest wind cuts into the skin like a knife!
"Lao Guan... can you explain that innocence can really defeat the wind? Just like this tonight, I'm worried!"
"I have to give it a try. It's already the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, so why don't I give you a generous gift for the New Year!"
"Look at the herdsmen who guided us. They all risked their lives. We can't give up!"
For these operations across the Tianshan Mountains, a total of eight senior guides were selected. They were very familiar with this mountain range, and almost every ridge and valley was as clear as the lines on the palm of their hand.
These guides collected dozens of kilograms of tea bricks, countless salts, and some silver coins from Duoluo Guanlu and the others. Finally, they promised that if the operation was successful, they would give each of them a cow and twenty sheep!
There must be brave men under the heavy rewards. These guides not only pledged their own lives, but even started praying for the advance team tonight!
Beliefs here in northern Xinjiang are very mixed. Some of these guides knelt on blankets and chanted sutras, some started dancing around the fire, and some kowtowed to the Tianshan Mountains with rosary beads...
No matter what their beliefs were, they were all extremely pious at the moment, completely forgetting about the cold. Some people kowtowed until blood started to flow from their foreheads.
The soldiers and civilians in the entire city couldn't sleep. They all came out to see these military masters from Beijing busy. They watched as the skeletons of the demonic dragons were dismantled one by one on the cart and then began to be assembled!
Some of the huge screws are as thick as a child's arm, and you have to use a torch to melt the lubricant when turning!
"Could it be...could this be the skeleton of the demonic dragon?"
"God of Immortality...Buddha...these Han people are so terrifying. They can kill the demon dragon, and then they can drive the ancient skeleton of the demon dragon?"
The frightened herdsmen and some soldiers quickly joined the prayer team, and the scene became a bit magical.
More and more shamans were dancing around the fire, and the sound of chanting shook the sky, and this sound attracted more soldiers and civilians to come and watch the fun.
By the time the pod was almost assembled, there were more than 600 people praying, and the people from the capital were all dumbfounded!
"Blower... prepare the blower... prepare the open stove for fire... blow warm air..." The captain and engineers started shouting with big tin trumpets. Twelve human-powered blowers began to rotate, and there was a sound behind each blower. The fires and open stoves were burning brightly.
Whoosh whoosh... Whoosh whoosh... The sound of the hot wind blowing, combined with the sounds of the herdsmen praying and chanting scriptures, formed a certain resonance in the air, making people feel holy all of a sudden.
The airship sent by Zai Chun this time is an emerging airship with a semi-rigid airbag. The entire soft airbag has dozens of keels supporting the huge spindle shape!
Since these keels have already supported the structure, the process of blowing air in will be smoother and shorter, and the air bag will be stronger!
It was already early morning, and a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon. The faint light shone on the air bag, allowing people to still distinguish the huge dark thing in the darkness, which was constantly expanding!
People suddenly exclaimed, "It's alive...the demon dragon is alive...look...the Han people have resurrected the demon dragon!"
These herdsmen had never seen such a miracle before. They saw a mountain-like thing swelling and towering, as if the demon dragon was breathing.
At this time, all the herdsmen and soldiers could no longer stand. They all knelt in front of the airship and kowtowed, mumbling!
The captain yelled, "Don't just kowtow! Pressurize the cabin stone...the mooring rope...and move the ammunition cargo up!"
"Fuck... the buoyancy is getting bigger and bigger, hurry up and prepare cargo to hold it down... it will be swept away by the wind later, and none of us can bear the responsibility!"
As soon as the soldiers got into trouble, they tied cables to the boulders, then picked up the kowtowing herdsmen and asked them to grab the ammunition boxes!
Box after box of shells, bullets, compressed biscuits, canned fruit, butter, cheese... medical first aid kits!
Five million dragon-patterned silver coins were also carried up, followed by sacks of coke and barrels of kerosene!
The airbag of the airship continued to receive air, and the boiler on the pod also began to catch fire. Hot air surged into the airbag. The power of this behemoth became stronger and stronger, and the cables it pulled made a clicking sound!
"Oh... the demonic dragon is so strong... so many rocks can't hold it down, and the rope is almost broken..."
"Thousands of kilograms of cargo weighed him down, and it was still flying upwards. He still wanted to fly upwards with all his strength... It was amazing!"
The herdsmen have no idea what buoyancy is or the principle of this airship. They just see intuitively that this big thing can't be tied down and it keeps trying to fly into the sky. People can only press it with countless cargoes. Go down a little, and then move up again!
"The sky has finally dawned... The sun has revealed traces of its edge, and the golden light is scattered on the airship, on Jinghe County, on the withered yellow grassland with residual snow, and on the white-capped mountains!"
"The wind has been suppressed... the wind has been suppressed... the wind has finally been suppressed..." The shaman who danced the Great God suddenly roared, and people started cheering after waving their hands. When the sky was bright, there was really no northwest wind all night. Got it!
It's not that there is no wind at all. The northwest wind last night was definitely level 5 or 6, and now it's only a level 1 or 2 breeze. For such a huge Zeppelin, this wind force has no impact at all!
"Within twenty minutes, all the cargo will be brought up... All personnel board the boat! All personnel board the boat..."
At the bow of the airship, the captain held a tin trumpet and roared at his neck. As a result, his lips accidentally stuck to the tinplate, and he stabbed and tore off a piece of skin!
"Ouch...it's so cold...add fire, add coke...prepare kerosene..."
The last cargo and soldiers boarded the airship. Each of these soldiers was dressed like a bear. Each of them had two layers of fur to withstand the cold wind. The little heat emitted by the airship's boiler dissipated as soon as the wind blew.
The eight guides were so frightened that they walked up to the demon dragon's body, their faces all pale.
"Time...eight-fifteen in the morning...loosen the rope...loosen the rope..."
The soldiers who stayed on the ground twitched the movable buckles, and some used knives to cut off the cables. As the restraining ropes broke, the airship suddenly shook violently.
Several guides were caught off guard and fell, and the demonic dragon shook its body and suddenly jumped up!
Inside and outside Jinghe City, there was a dead silence for half a minute, and then there were earth-shattering cheers of "Long live!"
"The Han people...are driving the demonic dragon...Long live! Long live!"
