"Wow, so big!"
"Is this a hot air balloon that allows people to fly into the sky?"
Li Daiyu jumped up and down around the basket.
In order to be able to hold more people and weapons at once, Qin Yun specially had someone sew a large hot air balloon based on the original one.
Of course, bigger is not always better.
The larger the balloon, the greater the surface tension of the canvas above. If you want to achieve a larger load capacity, you still have to consider developing in the direction of airships.
But now, neither stable helium nor dangerous hydrogen can be produced with the current industrial system.
So don’t even think about that thing, but the quality is not enough and the quantity is just enough.
Although hot air balloons are limited by weather, wind direction and other factors, they are definitely weapons and equipment for dimensionality reduction strikes.
Qin Yun's plan is to build an air force with no less than fifty large war hot air balloons in the Beiyin Mountains. It is necessary to float over and blow up the enemies from time to time to stimulate their nerves.
Moreover, the Beiyin Mountains are also very suitable for the development of military industry.
There is coal and iron here, and Qin Yun has another task today, which is to find a good location to build an arsenal.
With a "boom", Qin Yun turned on the gas valve, the canvas slowly rose from all around, and the basket slowly floated into the air.
The disciples of the original Shenshan Villa put down the escalator.
"Your Majesty, Princess, please come to the ball!"
Qin Yun nodded: "You go down, I will control it myself."
"yes!"
A hot air balloon now needs to be equipped with at least three operators and an observer, who is responsible for observing the wind direction and the flock of birds to avoid hitting the birds. Of course, he is also responsible for observing the enemy situation.
Equipped with a double scope rifle made in Qiongzhou, it can shoot birds as well as people.
A controller is responsible for controlling the takeoff, landing and direction of the hot air balloon.
There is also a bombardier, responsible for dropping bombs.
This is of course not a mature aerial bomb, but a manual bomb modified by Lu Ban based on the actual situation.
After all, the take-off and landing technology of a hot air balloon cannot guarantee smoothness. If an impact-triggered bomb is used, the enemy will be killed first before the enemy explodes.
So I can only use stupid methods and throw it away in a few seconds.
This also causes many bombs to explode prematurely in the air, but this is not a problem. Add some irregular fragmented steel balls inside to make them more lethal...
Of course, these are all improvements made by Qiongzhou Tiangong Weapons Research Institute based on existing technology.
Qin Yun only gave some directional suggestions. Sometimes he didn't know that the old craftsmen would come up with new tricks for him.
The development of civilization is not a given, it is like a tree.
The same is true for industrial development. Sometimes if the point is wrong, there may be other effects.
Of course, the main goal of Qin Yun and others today was reconnaissance, so they did not bring many bombs. I brought five or six sniper rifles, which were enough to kill people and birds.
Soon, the girls were wrapped in thick mink skins and got into the hanging basket.
Qin Yun was responsible for steering, Han Jiangxue was responsible for observing, and Yue Qing was responsible for setting up the gun. As Li Daiyu said "Wow", the balloon slowly floated into the air.
Bai Wanqing's face turned pale, and Shen Yue joked, "You're not afraid, are you?"
"Who... who is scared!"
Bai Wanqing buried her head and did not dare to look at the scene below. When Qin Yun patted his forehead, he forgot that Bai Wanqing was afraid of heights.
"Wanqing, why don't I send you down first!"
Bai Wanqing shook her head stubbornly: "No, I'm not afraid!"
But her slightly trembling knees betrayed her, and Qin Yun asked her to come to him.
"Come on, grab my hand and control this valve!"
Bai Wanqing shook her head like a rattle: "I...I can't!"
Qin Yun: "It's okay, I'll teach you. As the saying goes, if you get dizzy while riding in a car, you won't get dizzy while driving!"
Shen Yue snorted: "Is there such a saying? Who are you confused about?"
Qin Yun was speechless, why did this little girl keep looking for trouble today.
But when Bai Wanqing grasped the air control valve, her hands stopped shaking and her feet became weak.
"My lord, it seems true!"
Qin Yun: "Look, I don't lie!"
At this time, Li Daiyu pointed down with the telescope: "Look, there is smoke and fire!"
Qin Yun picked up the telescope and was shocked when he looked at it.
"Quick, full left rudder, don't fly over!"
Seeing Qin Yun being so serious, Bai Wanqing didn't dare to neglect him.
Han Jiangxue asked curiously: "Your Majesty, was that a landslide?"
Qin Yun shook his head: "That was a volcanic eruption, a natural phenomenon! I didn't expect that there are active volcanoes in Dongjun."
Li Daiyu frowned, as if she had thought of something.
"Husband, I dreamed about it in my dream."
Qin Yun discovered that this hypnosis technique has become increasingly ineffective recently.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "It's okay, just avoid it. However, there are benefits to having a volcano."
"At the very least, saltpeter is readily available, and many minerals will be brought out after the volcano erupts. Jiang Xue brought the map and marked it. This place can become a resource point for our industrial development in the future."
Han Jiangxue nodded.
Yue Qing frowned: "Your Majesty, will this thing harm the people of our country one day?"
Qin Yun said seriously: "Do earthquakes often occur in the Yue Kingdom?"
Yue Qing nodded: "Occasionally, but I heard that Fusang is more common across the sea."
Qin Yun: "That's right. Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are both caused by geological activities. However, you can rest assured that this is a volcano that occasionally erupts."
"You see, those are volcanic rocks, which were formed after the magma erupted from the volcano cooled. Judging from the accumulation, this volcano has been erupting continuously and has been for a long time."
"Look at the fir trees and trees nearby. They are growing gratifyingly, which means that the volcano is stabilizing, so there is no need to worry too much. When the time comes, people can fly over regularly to check the warning."
Although Yue Qing didn't understand, he was shocked and finally nodded.
It took about half an hour for everyone to fly through the volcanic ash area and arrived over an uninhabited ridge.
There is a stream here. The stream is formed from the melting of the clear snow on the mountain. Depending on the situation, the stream has always existed.
"Jiang Xue, this is the number one alternative."
"Okay, I've written it down!"
Qin Yun looked around and saw that the Beiyin Mountains stretched from west to east and could not be seen at a glance. No wonder it was a dream for Wu to break through.
It is not difficult for the Yue State to defend this kind of natural danger as long as there are no internal problems. If Qin Yun remembers correctly, the Yue State has relied on this natural danger to block Fusang's attacks many times in history.
But at that time, the Yue State joined forces with other countries in Dongjun to deal with the Japanese pirates.
"Wanqing, fly north and take a look at the situation over there!"
"good!"
The balloon flew for another half an hour, and Qin Yun and others had left the Beiyin Mountains, where Qin Yun saw the first giant city.
People live in the city.
Yue Qing sighed: "This is Beiyin City. It is one of the largest cities in our country. Before the fall, the population exceeded 200,000. The industry and commerce were developed, mainly connecting the north and south of Vietnam."
"But this time, when the Wu Kingdom came to attack, the lord of Beiyin City actually surrendered. I boast that I have never treated him badly..."
Qin Yun said: "There is no need to worry, there are always two dogs in any era."
"Wanqing descended, and we watched from a distance."
"yes!"
But just as everyone was descending, a demonic wind suddenly struck.
Qin Yun's face darkened: "Everyone, catch it. Wan Qing will control it for me. Jiang Xue will observe the terrain and find a flat area to make an emergency landing."
"good."
