On August 30, the first year of Taichu (1629), at 3:00 noon, Mao Yuanyi personally lit a hanging basket filled with coal and oil on the campus of Shenyang City Peking University. The former Qing Emperor Du Du and the bachelor Fan Wencai were not similar. Amidst the screams of people, billowing smoke filled the Kunpeng's giant airbag made of whale skin and canvas.
The soft air bag gradually expanded due to heat. The Kunpeng hot air balloon was like a stranded sperm whale waiting to die, struggling to get away from the land.
Eight strong soldiers clung to the rope at the end of the balloon. The huge lifting force dragged the soldiers staggering, and they were almost blown away by the wind several times.
More soldiers stepped forward to reinforce and join in this tug-of-war game between man and nature. Fifteen soldiers tried their best to subdue the hot air balloon and ensure that it would not leave the earth early.
Liu Zhaosun smiled and looked at the hot air balloon that was trying to escape gravity. He stood on the campus and waved goodbye to Du Du in the hanging basket.
"Farewell, Aixinjueluo!"
"Farewell, I am Daqing."
When the body of the stranded whale swelled to its maximum size, the rope was loosened, and the whale left the shore and gradually swam toward the sky.
The onlookers cheered like spring thunder. Under the guidance of the instructors and high priests, everyone believed that this was the miracle of Emperor Wu Ding. People kept coming from the four gates of Shenyang to point at the rising hot air balloon. , marveled.
The hot air balloon was still slowly rising upwards. At first it was a huge black hill, then it turned into a black shadow the size of a washbasin, and finally it turned into a small black dot.
High Priest Francisco looked at the black spot on the other end of the rope and prayed devoutly to the gods, hoping that Zhenwu God would bless Dudu and his most loyal slave Fan Wencai and allow the two Tatars to survive in the extremely cold altitude.
Because the emperor also used Dudu to make terracotta warriors and horses, which are mummies.

The oil accumulated in the cathedral was ignited, the fire burned raging, black smoke billowed into the sky, and the people danced around the fire.
Senti trotted to the throne of Emperor Wu Ding. Under the cold gazes of Zhang Dong, Pei Dahu and others, he did not show any timidity at all.
Dongguan Zai has had a lot of misfortunes over the years, but fortunately, he survived to this day. His body is as lean as when he first went to the capital with Yuan Chonghuan in the 47th year of Wanli.
Emperor Wu Ding had built the Loyalty Shrine in Liaodong for the souls of Yuan Chonghuan and the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and sent dedicated personnel to take care of it. Yuan Chonghuan's ashes were placed in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and his shrine was enshrined in the side hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple in Daqi, so that he could "obey and enjoy it."
After the imperial army pacifies Lingnan, Yuan Chonghuan's clothes and clothes will return to Dongguan Town along with his heroic spirit.
"Later, please accompany me to the Ancestral Temple. I want to talk to Yuan Dudu."
Liu Zhaosun looked at Jin Yuji, and there was a rare touch of warmth in the Emperor's cold expression.
He nodded to Senti, indicating to continue.
The instructor immediately raised the exaggerated wooden trumpet, stood on the battlements of the urn city, and announced to the people gathered around, to the effect that the Supreme Emperor Hong En had ordered that Liaodong be exempted from taxes this year. Before the army entered the customs, sugar in Shenyang City and liquor will be fully guaranteed.
The people cheered and the mountains shouted long live.
Under the new economic policy, the daily supply of materials for the people is extremely limited. Ordinary civilians only receive enough food per month for food and clothing, and the rest is turned over. Food and various materials are always given priority to the army. This is why many civilians are rushing to join the army. One of the reasons.
It is not about scarcity but about inequality. After countless purges and adjustments, the people under the empire's rule no longer have wealth gaps. Everyone has nothing and everyone has everything.
Here, there is no political fairy tale about getting rich first and helping others to get rich later. Everyone is the same. They bear the responsibility to the empire and enjoy the blessing of the empire.
In these troubled times, being able to survive with dignity is already a rare thing for many people.
In any case, the gloom has passed, and people's lives have made progress.
The future of the Daqi Empire is like this giant whale covered in dark paint above our heads, flying in the sky, hitting the water for three thousand miles, and soaring up to ninety thousand miles.
The hot air balloon flew for half an hour and finally landed in the southern suburbs of Tieling, fifty or sixty miles away from Shenyang.
The Tenth Corps guarding the southern part of Tieling discovered the hot air balloon at night and did not dare to take action easily, so they quickly reported it to the emperor.
Two hours later, Emperor Wu Ding and his followers rushed to the place where the hot air balloon crashed. Fortunately, Du Du was still alive.
The Kunpeng hot air balloon developed by Mao Yuanyi is about 800 years later than the ancient rosin lamp, and there is no breakthrough in principle. However, Mao Yuanyi tried to make the hot air balloon larger from the beginning. Their experiment took an important step toward manned flight.
Liu Zhaosun personally boarded the damaged hot air balloon basket, cut off the iron chains and ropes on Du Du with a knife, and helped the Qing emperor (to be precise, he carried the Tatar) back to land slowly.
When Du Du's limp legs stepped off the sampan and touched the land of Liaodong, Emperor Wu Ding smiled and said to everyone:
"That's a small step for Dudu, but a giant leap for mankind."
Lao Songtou and a group of imperial doctors immediately came forward to diagnose the body of a passenger who had returned from Yunxiao (Fan Wencai had been frightened to death). After some inspection and questioning, Lao Songtou reported to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, Tatar's body is not seriously injured, it's just here."
The imperial doctor pointed at Du Du's head as he spoke.
Without his reminder, Liu Zhaosun also knew that Du Du had been frightened into a fool, because when the Qing emperor came down from the hanging basket, there were still brown ice residue between his legs, emitting a faint fishy smell. This was urine. Thin ice condensed at high altitude.
While Lao Songtou and the others were busy, Francisco shrugged his shoulders, came to the side of Emperor Wu Ding, and said expectantly:
"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, since the Tatar is still alive, can you hand him over to me and start the mummy experiment? I am worried that he will go crazy or die inexplicably."
Liu Zhaosun got on his horse and prepared to rush back to Shenyang to participate in the sacrificial activities for Yuan Chonghuan. He was riding on the horse, with his back to the high priest, and ordered in an unquestionable tone:
"The workshop still has several experimental projects waiting for the Qing Emperor. I said I would let him die, and he would die vigorously, but before that, he must continue to exert his value."
