The news that Duke Ping Tang Ping ascended to heaven first shocked everyone in Chang'an City.
Then after I figured it out, I realized that Tang Ping could actually make a big cloth ball and fly people into the sky.
Some people still didn't believe it, and then they were told that the big cloth ball was hanging on the edge of Shanghe Village.
In Tang Ping's words, this was a stress test. It didn't fly high, just over two meters, and people were asked to keep an eye on the fire inside.
For safety reasons, Tang Ping also placed a fire extinguisher on top. This thing was only at such a height, and the only danger actually came from catching fire.
Otherwise, even if the air leaks, it will not fall down all at once, but will slowly descend.
Even Li Shimin was alarmed by this incident, and after going to court, he brought people over.
There are still a few miles away from Shanghe Village, and the hot air balloon can be seen in the distance.
The closer I got, the bigger I realized the size of the hot air balloon.
As I walked closer, I heard a voice coming from above: "Your Majesty, Dad, why are you here?"
When I looked up, I saw Cheng Chumo from Cheng Zhijie's family standing there. His face was already dark, but I don't know why he got some soot on his face, making it look even darker.
Hearing is false and seeing is believing. Li Shimin and all the ministers stared blankly at this thing.
"This...is probably the same as the Kongming Lantern."
Duan Lun, as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, revealed the mystery immediately.
However, I know that the principle is simple. It has been so many years since the Kongming Lantern came out, but no one can fly into the sky using the same method. This is the limitation of the times or technology.
In fact, if Tang Ping hadn't accidentally discovered that Sun Liu could weave such airtight fabrics, and then the Tang Dynasty began to popularize the use of coke as a burning material to generate a large amount of hot air in a short time, this hot air balloon would still be flying. Not easy.
"You bastard, come down here and let me try." Cheng Zhijie looked jealous.
Starting from the myth of Chang'e flying to the moon, human beings have always had the dream of flying into the sky.
Flying is a desire embedded in one’s bones.
Now seeing his son talking above, Cheng Zhijie's eyes were filled with tears.
"That won't work!" Cheng Chumo shook his head and said, "I've only been here half an hour."
"Hey, you kid, are you going to rebel?" Cheng Zhijie's face darkened, as if he was looking for something to beat someone out of habit.
"Dad, please save it.

I'm here, you can't hit me! Cheng Chu said quietly, "If you want to fight, just wait until I come down in half an hour."
I finally made it up, but I'm still not happy enough, how can I give way? As long as His Majesty doesn't give the order, it won't work even if Dad comes.
The most he can do is go down and get beaten. Can he, Old Cheng, beat my little Cheng to death?
"Hahaha, don't worry if you know the rules, go find Tang Ping!" Li Shimin had many questions to ask Tang Ping.
Cheng Zhijie lost face here and pointed at his son with a riding whip, meaning that he would deal with you when you come down, and then rode off to Shanghe Village to find Tang Ping.
Soon a sleepy-eyed Tang Ping came out, making all the ministers angry and funny.
I and the others have been waiting for the big court meeting in the morning. They have all come to your Shanghe Village from Chang'an. Fortunately, you are still sleeping.
"Uncle, second uncle, third uncle, you are all here, ha..." Tang Ping yawned. He was provoked by Wang Qingluan yesterday. Who would have thought that when he went to bed at night, he would be tossing and turning in vain and unable to fall asleep.
"How easy is it to make this thing?" People said it was made of cloth, but Li Shimin still had to ask Tang Ping to find out.
At the national level, basically all technologies were initially used for military purposes, and Li Shimin was no exception.
If we can fight from the air, it will undoubtedly change the current mode of war.
As long as this thing can fly dozens of meters high, it will be difficult for bows and arrows to threaten it.
Not to mention using the explosives studied by Li Tai, even standing on top and throwing rocks or gunpowder below can cause heavy damage to the enemy. If one flies over the enemy camp at night... Li Shimin does not believe that anyone can win with such a weapon of war. Live yourself.
Tang Ping thought for a while, then nodded: "The only difficult thing is the burner, which needs to be used to create enough hot air. Anyway, overall, it is much easier than building a car."
"Is there any confidentiality?" Duan Lun asked.
"The cloth above needs to be made using our new loom. As long as the loom drawings are not circulated, people will basically not be able to make it."
Now in the Tang Dynasty, only a few official weaving workshops and Tang Ping's workshop could use this latest loom.
The manufacture of looms is kept secret by the Ministry of Industry. If a loom is broken, it will be smashed and destroyed.
Therefore, no one else will be able to weave the same cloth for a while on the loom side, and the burner side was made by the two brothers Wang Tieniu and will not be spread out.

As for the other bamboo baskets and the wire mesh frames inside, they have no technical content.
"How high can it fly?"
"I haven't tried it." Tang Ping said truthfully: "I guess it can fly dozens of meters high."
"If there is no rope to hold it, can it be lowered?"
If you have to hold a rope, its practicality will be greatly reduced.
"Yes! Just narrow the air inlet of the burner and let the hot air in the hot air balloon slowly cool down, and it will cool down."
Hearing what Tang Ping said, Li Shimin felt excited. According to what Tang Ping said, if this thing rises, it can fly with the wind.
"Then you quickly find someone..." Li Shimin thought for a while: "Go pick up two death row prisoners. If they can successfully fly high into the sky and come down safely, I will pardon their death penalty."
Of course, Li Shimin couldn't let Tang Ping or others take the risk of flying so high. If they really fell from such a height, they would basically be dead.
What everyone didn't expect was that as soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Cheng Chumo's voice came from above: "Your Majesty, how can such honor be given to those sinners? I, Cheng Chumo, am willing to test-fly for your Majesty."
After saying that, he cut the rope holding the ground with a knife on it.
Tang Ping, Cheng Zhijie and the others were all shocked. They knew this kid was reckless, but they didn't expect him to be so reckless.
"Cheng Chumo, put out the fire quickly." Tang Ping shouted.
But Cheng Chumo, a naughty kid, wanted to fly into the sky for a long time. He shouted from the box: "What? The wind is too strong and I can't hear you."
"This kid!" Li Shimin made a quick decision as he watched the hot air balloon quickly take off: "Xuanjia Cavalry obeys the order and follows Cheng Chumo."
Now that kid is in heaven, there is nothing they can do on earth, including Tang Ping.
"Your Majesty, General Cheng, and Chu Mo have all studied physics. They all know the operating principles of this hot air balloon and are familiar with its operation methods." Tang Ping could only comfort the two of them in this way.
"I'm sorry, General Cheng..." But after all, it was Tang Ping who agreed to go up. He originally wanted to let Cheng Chumo watch the burner from above, but he didn't expect this kid to be so tough. When he heard that someone was going to test going up to high altitude, he himself On.
"I don't blame you for this!" Cheng Zhijie stared at the hot air balloon high in the sky with wide eyes:
"When this brat comes down, I want to ask for three months' sick leave from the new academy on his behalf!"
