Great Tang princess

Chapter 487
People recruited from nearby states and counties were quickly accommodated, and they were given their own tableware and other daily necessities.

Because this is the army, their freedom will be strictly restricted. They cannot go to many places casually. If they want to stroll or something, they can only go to the beach.

The only thing that this era is better than the future is that ordinary people will definitely listen to what the superiors say, and there is absolutely no phenomenon that dares to make trouble here.

After the first day came and arranged, let them rest first, rest for a day, and three meals a day will be provided as usual.

There may be many other shortcomings in the army, but there is absolutely no problem with food.

Looking at the food in their hands, these people couldn't believe it for a while, especially these low-level civilians had never been exposed to cooking, and they felt their appetites whetted just by smelling the delicious smell.

The moment I really opened my mouth to eat, I felt a sense of happiness.

Only those who have experienced hunger can know the beauty of food. Many people start to cry after eating, eating while crying.

The soldiers who were in charge of distributing meals were not surprised by this situation: "Okay, okay, take out the bowl and drink some hot soup! Don't cry, Your Highness doesn't like it very much."

Everyone who came here knew that this was Princess Taiping's barracks.

Originally, she had many legends in the folk, and many people set up longevity tablets for her, and there was even a dedicated Princess Taiping Temple in the south of the Yangtze River, so her reputation among the folks was quite large.

The new workers were allotted such good food, and they all saluted respectfully to the bright red figure who was pointing to the construction site and talking to the people from the engineering institute in the distance.

Although the distance was not too close, but because of the large number of people and Li Yuechen's eyesight was very good, he immediately noticed the situation here.

She waved and raised her hand towards this side, as a excuse to excuse them, and then continued to discuss the construction issue with the people from the Engineering Academy.

Just such a simple action moved the hearts of these recruited workers.

Under such circumstances, he naturally did not neglect his work, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work the next day.

……

After the end of the first month, there was no more snow in the sky, and the pilots who had rested for a period of time went into intense training again.

Li Yuechen's plan is to go back to Dongdu to have a look after the beginning of spring. The days are not long, so they need to get used to it a little longer.

The original plan was to stay here for three years, but I didn't expect that after three years, everything was just starting, and it seemed that I would stay here permanently in the future.

But try to go home once a month in the future. It is really uncomfortable to be separated for several years.

In addition, Li Yuechen had a plan to go to Anshan to dig magnetite, so the border had to be pushed further.

This means war, and there may be many wars in the future. Although in Li Yuechen's mind, that piece of land should belong to this country, but it is different in this era.

Fortunately, in the feudal era, information was not developed. Even in the future, this will not be called a war of aggression, but just a corner of history.

That's okay, if you can change the country's territory into a thousand years later in your lifetime, that's fine. As for the Western Regions, you don't have to worry, it is bigger now than it will be in a thousand years.

……

With the participation of workers, both the shipyard and the airship work started smoothly, and Li Yuechen was relieved. In this way, even if he went home for a few days, he would definitely be fine.

Seeing that it is almost February, it is almost ready to go home.

Li Yuechen hasn't been back for three years, so he's a little homesick and timid, but considering that his mother may go out of the palace to participate in the spring plowing ceremony in the days when Long raised his head, so let's wait until February [-]th.

On the morning of February [-]th, there is a grand court meeting, and the afternoon is basically idle.

Anyway, even if we start here in the morning, it will take four or five hours to fly to Dongdu. It is estimated that the sun will be about to set.

So in the next few days, while Li Yuechen was in charge of the pilot's training, he kept an eye on the production progress of the shipyard and the airship from time to time.

In fact, once any project starts, as long as everything goes well in the middle, the speed will not be slow.

The only gap with the future may be that compared with large machinery, manpower is still much less efficient in terms of efficiency.

No way, before the advent of electricity, the age of manpower will not end.Li Yuechen also took this into consideration when he wanted to go to Anshan to find magnetite.

After dinner in the evening, Li Yuechen called Geng Yunqiang to the office: "I plan to go back to Dongdu in a few days..."

"Your Highness, can the hang glider fly for such a long distance?" Geng Yunqiang asked curiously. His Highness said before that this thing has too many shortcomings and cannot fly too far, but if it can fly from here to Dongdu, it is already Enough to develop more uses.

"It depends on the situation." Li Yuechen explained a little bit, "First of all, the road from here to Dongdu is a rugged hilly area. Even if you land halfway, it's relatively easy to take off again. Besides..."

In short, the current military use of hang gliding is only for investigation, not to mention that it is easy to be discovered by the opponent, and it lacks a lot of functions.

Instead of this, it is better to use it only as a tool for sending letters.

After explaining the situation, Li Yuechen asked: "By the way, you officers, if you have a letter to take back, write it quickly in the next few days, and I will take it back with you when the time comes."

"How dare you bother Your Highness with such a trivial matter..."

"Okay, I will send other people there after landing." Li Yuechen waved his hand, "Go, tell them."

"Yes!" Geng Yunqiang immediately agreed with a salute.

To Li Yuechen, this is just a trivial matter, but in other people's eyes, it has a very different meaning.

Then Li Yuechen turned his head gently: "Wuqiong, you can go back with me this time, Xiao He will stay here and wait for me to come back."

"Yes!" The two agreed.

In fact, Li Yuechen originally interrupted to take Xiaohe back. After all, she is also very familiar with the maids over there, so maybe there are many topics to talk about after returning.

Wang Wuqiong is different, her parents and family are all here, so it doesn't make much sense whether she goes back or not.

But the only problem is that Xiaohe is now nearly forty years old, and her resistance will become very poor when she reaches middle age. In winter, the wind blowing for several hours at an altitude of several thousand meters may damage her body. make an impact.

In the final analysis, pilots in this era are eating a youth meal, and I am afraid that arthritis and rheumatism will become occupational diseases in the future.

Li Yuechen's physical fitness is strong enough, but he still has to wear a thick flight suit and other various equipment when flying.

The only regrettable thing is that the hang glider cannot fly with cargo, otherwise Li Yuechen must find a way to bring some sea fish back to give the family a taste.

In this era, because of the long distance, if members of the royal family want to eat sea fish, they can only eat that kind of smoked fish.

As for fresh fish caught from the sea, it is impossible to eat.

If you want to eat fresh fish inland, you can only eat river fish, not to mention Dongdu and Chang'an, even in Jinan in the future, if you want to eat fresh sea fish now, it is only possible to transport them there in winter.

Forget it, the times have not reached that point now, if you can't do it, you can't do it.

……

After the matter was settled, I felt that time passed a lot faster, and it soon came to February [-]th.

Li Yuechen got up in the morning and recited sutras as usual, and after breakfast, he brought the pilots who had prepared to the nearby hillside.

This hillside has been rectified to a certain extent, and it has become a simple runway very suitable for takeoff, and it can take off with the wind.

There are currently 78 pilots in total, and every two pilots have a hang glider. This time, this method was adopted.

In the future, those responsible for delivering letters or flying to other places will be driven by one person most of the time.

Wang Wuqiong put on a thick wool flight suit and a cold mask, looking at the hang glider in front of her with a complicated expression.

She has only been in a hot air balloon before, and she knows what it feels like to fly into the sky, but she has never experienced this thing before. She just supported His Highness and said that the speed is much faster than a hot air balloon, and she doesn't know how much faster.

I was looking forward to it at first. Although I was interested in the previous pilot training, I didn't understand it too carefully.

It wasn't until today that she realized that His Highness had to carry it when taking off, which surprised her.

"Your Highness is the body of a thousand pieces of gold, how can a subordinate touch it at will..." Wang Wuqiong looked at Li Yuechen in front of him and backed away repeatedly.

"It's okay, I took Wan'er to fly once before." Li Yuechen smiled and buttoned up his flight suit, "Thinking about it, there are not many opportunities to touch the princess with my own hands!"

"Your Highness, don't joke, this move is really a bit outrageous."

Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows: "If you want to talk about treason, the last time I went to Qingzhou, you pretended to be a princess, wouldn't it be the same treason?"

"This……"

"So, it doesn't matter, just get used to it." Li Yuechen smiled and pulled off the mask, then took the helmet from Xiao He and put it on.

This helmet is different from other people's paintings. It is painted in various colors such as red, blue, and gold, and there are words written on the side.

In fact, the appearance of this helmet was made by Li Yuechen after his favorite helmet pattern. The pattern painted on it was the icon of Red Bull, and there were four words written next to it: Amateur player!

Now the helmet is exactly the same as the original one. The only difference is that the previous helmet was made of carbon fiber, and this one is just wood.

As for the word "amateur player", it was written purely for fun.There used to be a colleague who imitated her and wrote on the helmet: No professional.

……

After putting on the helmet, Li Yuechen shook his arms, pointed at Wang Wuqiong and waved, letting her go in first.

It is best not to talk while wearing a helmet. Although this helmet was designed by Li Yuechen himself and made by top craftsmen of this era, the ventilation system in it is still very poor. Talking too much will easily make the lens fog up, especially in winter.

So unless it is a last resort, the pilots in the sky will use gestures to communicate.

Wang Wuqiong nodded in agreement, and then hurriedly entered the bag at the back, it was already this time, what should be done was still to be done.

The other pilots were also ready, and they took pictures one by one and waited beside the team.

Li Yuechen had already introduced this mission to them yesterday. It was going to fly directly to Dongdu from here. It would consume a lot of energy. It was best to follow her the whole time and not make trouble.

If there is an error in the air, they must report it with gestures in time. They will not walk in a straight line with each other, and they will easily bump into each other in case something happens.

Generally, a herringbone will be maintained, and the formation is not always the same. It mainly depends on the direction of the airflow.

It is impossible for an unpowered aircraft to fly in a straight line, and it still has to fly according to the airflow in the sky.

Geng Yunqiang and the others had already made preparations by the side. It had to be said that Li Yuechen looked really handsome with the helmet on.

The 1.7 meters seven is tall and well-proportioned, enough to support any style of clothing, even this weird flight jacket in the eyes of the ancients.

After putting on the helmet, the trace of coquettish appearance was completely hidden, leaving only a sense of coolness.

After preparing, Li Yuechen came under the hang glider rack, waved to the take-off pilots behind, and then rushed down the hillside with his shoulders staring at the landing gear.

She didn't take a few steps down, but she took advantage of a headwind and rose up. Under her control, the huge hang glider seemed to come to life. The nimble figure was like a golden eagle, soaring straight up into the sky.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Li Yuechen didn't forget to show off his skills, and after flying into the sky, he made a stall spiral action.

If it weren't for the fact that there was Wang Wuqiong behind him, maybe he would have had more fun.

The pilots in the back didn't have her skills, they took off obediently one by one, and after circling behind her for two laps, they immediately adjusted their direction and formation, and followed her.

In a short while, dozens of hang gliders flew into the sky, like a flock of birds, in a black mass, and then circled.

Fortunately, the villagers near these scenes were no longer surprised. They just looked up and observed for a while, and then went back to do their own things.

Li Yuechen in the sky made a questioning gesture to ask if they were ready, and all the team members gave a thumbs up to indicate that there was no problem.

Then Li Yuechen turned around, made a gesture of climbing upwards, and flew in the direction of Dongdu while rising.

In fact, she is really not good at flying too high. There is no navigation in this era, and it is easy to get lost when flying too high in the air. Wrong way.

Fortunately, in a large city like Dongdu, Ziwei Palace must be particularly obvious.As long as the direction difference is not too much, it can definitely be seen in the sky.

The big deal is just to adjust the direction when the time comes, Li Yuechen is still confident that he will land at Xuanwu Gate accurately.

　Sorry guys, there is only one update today, I will make it up tomorrow.
