If you can fly, why are you on the ground now?
Why not on the roof?
Sun Simiao nodded.
"Exactly!"
"However, from what His Highness said, this thing needs to be activated, otherwise it won't move. As for how to operate it, even the experienced... don't know."
Listening to Sun Simiao's explanation, several people pursed their lips, swallowed, rubbed their hands, and dispersed.
Couldn't help the horror in his eyes.
This ball is really too big!
"Your Majesty, how can this light ball fly?"
"Moreover, even if the ball flies, it seems that it is just the ball flying, and it is not of much use."
Without blinking, Wei Zheng expressed his doubts and the shortcomings of the ball.
If you just want to be able to fly and not be able to take people with you, to be honest, it is of little use.
"wrong!"
"Your Majesty, please take a look. There is a basket here, which seems to be connected to this big ball."
"Wow... this basket is so big, it can fit several of me in it."
At this time, Yuchi Jingde also shouted.
Suddenly,
Several people walked in his direction.
really!
This ball is not just a ball.
Could it be said that this basket can carry people? !
"Your Majesty, this place is a bit small after all."
"Besides, the light is too dark, so why not move out so that you can observe more carefully."
Changsun Wuji suggested.
When Li Shimin heard that it made sense, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Let's go, let's help each other and lift this ball out. Be careful not to hurt the big ball!"
Li Shimin immediately gave orders.
After hearing this, several people immediately rolled up their sleeves.
Pull and push.
The big ball was moved out by them.
They also untied the basket and took it out.
Now, everyone could see clearly.
"Your Majesty, you should not be able to fly now."
"If you want it to fly, you must hold up all these loose pieces of cloth."
Du Ruhui studied for a while and said in a deep voice.
"But that's not right, Your Majesty. Look, it's empty down here."
"This ball is not sealed. There is a big hole underneath."
"In this case, we can't inflate the ball."
Wei Zheng said immediately from the side.
Li Shimin frowned.
It seems that they already know how to use this thing.
Blow the ball thoroughly.
Then, this big ball can fly?
People can stand in the basket decorated below.
In this way, you can achieve flying!
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyelids twitched a bit.
A stream of hot blood surged out from his veins.
The heart was pounding crazily, and the whole person's breathing became rapid.
There was like a big drum beating crazily in his chest.
Li Shimin himself could hear the sound of the heartbeat clearly.
Fly!
People can fly! !
hiss……
Li Shimin's eyes were so wide that they were about to burst.
He gritted his teeth.
With a trembling voice.
"Then... then let's think of a way to see if... we can make this ball completely inflated."
Li Shimin ordered.
Others gathered around the big ball excitedly.
Have a quick conversation.
Quick discussion.
They are also a little crazy, a little crazy.
It seems that they are just one step away from reaching heaven.
Grandma’s!
Throughout the ages, no matter who it is, has anyone ever ascended to heaven? Someone flew by? Has anyone ever looked down on this land?
nobody! !
not a single one! !
They will be the first! !
No... The first one should be His Highness the King of Chu. However, it is shocking enough to think about the latecomer who can become His Highness the King of Chu.
But……
How to do this thing?
The few people discussed it for a long time, and their brows almost came together.
And at this moment, suddenly, Xiao Sizi and Princess Changle came out of the warehouse.
"Father, look, what is this?"
"Father, father, hehehe...it's so heavy, hohohoho..."
The little Sizi kept making bursts of extremely energetic screams, which looked cute.
Princess Changle was helping.
The two men walked out carrying what looked like a stove.
Li Shimin turned around in surprise.
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Li Jing and others also turned their heads and looked over.
Just now Li Shimin asked them to think of a way to inflate this big ball. To be honest, several of them were confused.
The ball is so big, if it was sealed, they might be able to call in more people to blow it up.
However, there is a huge hole under this big ball.
I'm afraid that the air I blew in wasn't as much as the air going out.
They felt that if His Royal Highness King Chu was able to design it like this, then he must have his own ideas and he could definitely inflate the ball.
However, they really have no clue.
No matter how hard they thought, they couldn't think of what they could do!
I have to marvel, His Highness King Chu’s little mind is really amazing.
At this time, Xiao Sizi and Princess Changle came out.
Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on the two of them.
"This is...Xiao Sizi, Changle, what are you holding?"
Li Shimin was suspicious, so he hurriedly greeted him.
Hula...
Immediately afterwards, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Li Jing and others also walked over impatiently.
Xiao Sizi possesses the property of treasure hunter, which they all know very well.
During this period, there were countless problems, but Xiao Sizi always appeared when they were at a loss, and then solved them smoothly.
It can be said that it is up to Xiao Sizi to decide whether he is in good times or in desperate times.
So this time...
"Xiao Sizi, put your things down first."
"Be careful, don't hurt yourself."
Li Shimin said quickly.
However, even though he said this, his eyes were always staring at the things in the two people's hands. He hurriedly walked up to greet them and it was also the things in their hands. It seemed that he was not managing Xiao Sizi and Princess Changle at all.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
"I don't know. It's so strange. Is this a stove?"
"Auxiliary engine, if you put it that way, it sounds a bit like it, but what is the use of this stove?"
"Why are they put together with the big ball?"
"Could it be that this thing is on the big ball?"
"Isn't it possible? Put the big ball on the stove? Is it possible that you consider the cold sky in winter, so you deliberately keep it warm?"
"……."
Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others also immediately surrounded the stove, and they had a heated discussion with each other.
They couldn't connect this thing with the big ball.
No matter how you look at it, these two are completely different existences!
"It's probably just an ordinary stove."
As Li Shimin spoke, he turned to look at the big ball behind him, shook his head, sighed, and said, "There should be no connection."
After all, the two are quite different.
truth!
No one would associate the two together.
Others couldn't help but show disappointment in their eyes.
It doesn't matter!
That also means that I have to start thinking about how to inflate the big ball again.
But just at this time.
Sudden!
"Oh, oh, oh, get out of the way!"
"Sister, come on, put this thing on that ball!"
Xiao Sizi pushed away Li Shimin who was blocking the way, clapped his little hands excitedly, murmured, and called Princess Changle, and the two of them pulled the stove over.
Li Shimin rubbed his nose.
This cute little girl...
He smiled and shook his head slightly, he was really messing around.
These two, no matter how you look at them, cannot be connected together.
But that's okay, let's go with Xiao Sizi. This girl has a lot of energy, let her release it, and when she is tired from playing, just let her sleep.
In this way, it saves attention.
Li Shimin thought so.
Including Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Du Ruhui, they all didn't care and looked away again.
They pondered.
They ponder.
They wanted to figure out how this big ball could fly.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. How about we go have a meal first? Then come back to study?"
Sun Simiao spoke, he looked at the sky and said with a smile.
The sun is already very high.
My stomach is indeed a little deflated.
It's time to eat!
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and scratched his head, feeling helpless.
no way.
In this case, it seems that we can only go to eat first.
"Okay, let's first..."
He said, but before he finished speaking, suddenly, Xiao Sizi's voice came, directly interrupting his words.
"Woohoo, okay, okay, father and queen, look, look, look!"
"Hehe, the big ball is bulging, the big ball is completely bulging!!"
The little Sizi jumped up and down.
"Your Majesty! Look!!"
Queen Changsun shouted in panic.
Li Shimin solemnly turned his head and looked over. Beside him, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng also turned around with horrified eyes.
hiss……
this……
They were horrified.
His eyes were shocked.
incredible.
That is?
How can it be!
They saw something and thought they were dazzled! !
Li Shimin rubbed his eyes vigorously with his hands and couldn't believe it, but it was true!
That's right!
The big ball is swelling!
The shriveled state just now is expanding bit by bit!
And that stove, for some reason, was stuck on it by Xiao Sizi and Princess Changle.
Flame, burning.
Little by little, the balloon began to take on its original form.
At this time, Li Shimin finally saw clearly that this big ball was actually two parts. The top part was separated, and it was always bulging inside.
That's why they looked half-bulged just now. After all, if it wasn't bulging at all, the cloth would be just a pile scattered on the ground, and it would definitely not be as big as what they saw just now.
But now, the big ball is being propped up visibly to the naked eye.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
At this time, the big ball seemed to be starting to float upwards.
"Fuck!"
"quick!"
"Hold the big ball!!"
Immediately, Li Shimin did not dare to hesitate and shouted directly.
The moment Li Shimin's voice fell, Cheng Yaojin and others pounced directly on him.
He grabbed the basket.
The big ball that was trying to rise far away shook.
Below, it is still as stable as a rock, but above, the big ball is indeed shaking and expanding.
Li Shimin grinned.
Laughed!
He laughed so excitedly!
It really works, it really works! !
Not only him, but Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui and others were also staring at the big ball in disbelief.
this……
It's flying!
This big ball really flies!
They didn't understand what happened, let alone what was going on, but their eyes reflected the big ball rushing towards the sky.
wonderful!
Wonderful!
It's really wonderful!
Your Highness, King Chu, how did you do this?
They saw that there was still a large opening at the bottom of the big ball.
Can it still take off like this?
They are confused, they are confused, they are at a loss.
However, now the big ball has indeed risen!
The rise is very high!
If Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and the others hadn't been holding him down, they might have floated away by now.
In fact, this ball is the hot air balloon created by Li Kuan.
but.
This hot air balloon is somewhat different from the hot air balloons of later generations.
There is a sealed gas at the top of the sphere of this hot air balloon. When heated by the temperature below, the gas will expand and become more active, and then it will lift off with the hot air balloon.
Later hot air balloons used extremely high-density heat to fill the sphere.
This step was impossible to achieve with Datang's current technology, so they resorted to a trick.
Heat, more and more.
The heat is getting thicker and thicker.
The heat is getting bigger and bigger.
And the rising power of this hot air balloon is becoming more and more powerful.
"Not good, not good!"
"Your Majesty, we can't hold it back any longer!"
Cheng Yaojin shouted.
"Your Majesty, we are going to fly away, quickly, quickly, Commander Li, go and call someone, oh..."
Yuchi Jingde also shouted in agreement crazily.
Senseless!
Silly!
Shocked!
The two of them claim that they are not as good as King Chu, but their strength can be considered to be the best in the world.
But who would have thought that it was controllable at first, but now, it seems to be uncontrollable.
They could feel that they had exerted all their strength, but the big ball still wanted to take the two of them to the sky.
If time goes by, the two of them know very well that they will eventually be taken away.
Li Junxian, who had been following him, was shocked and quickly called ten Jinwu guards.
In this way, the hot air balloon is completely under control.
"My dear mother, your majesty, the strength of this big ball is too strong. Lao Hei and I were a little weak just now."
"call……."
Cheng Yaojin took a deep breath, wiped the sweat with his hands, and looked up, with some fear in his eyes.
When had he ever encountered such a thing?
Never!
Oh My God!
Yuchi Jingde rubbed his wrist. He felt pain in his shoulder now.
Just now, because I was pressing the hot air balloon hard, I put my arms directly into the basket. The edge of the basket was pressed against my armpits, and I couldn't use all my strength.
But even so, he felt that he was about to lose control of the momentum of the big ball just now.
