The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 212 Create the most primitive air force

The best way to make balloons is to make Kongming lanterns first.

According to the development of history, Kongming Lantern should be invented by Zhuge Liang, and it is used to convey military information or to illuminate a large area at night.

Lu Bu ordered cobblers to make bags out of animal skins, and then carpenters to make small lamp stands that could hold oil lamps.

When the bag and the wooden frame were built, Lu Bu fixed them securely with thin ropes, and then set up the oil lamps.

The leather bag was on the wooden shelf, the oil lamp was lit, and the flame was still some distance away from the bag.

Everyone gathered together, wanting to see what would happen.

Standing beside Pang Tong, Chen Dao asked in a low voice: "Pang Gong, what is Marquis Wen going to do? If you want to set the animal skin on fire, you don't need to go to such trouble."

Although Pang Tong is wise, he does not have the same understanding of future generations as Lu Bu.

Kongming lanterns are also extremely novel to Pang Tong.

He curled his lips and shook his head: "Marquis Wen wants to create something novel, how do I know what it will look like?"

Even Pang Tong didn't know what Lu Bu would create, so Chen Dao certainly admired Lu Bu even more.

It's just that the Kongming Lantern hasn't really flown yet, and Chen Dao's admiration from the bottom of his heart is only limited to Lu Bu's daring to think and do.

Squatting beside the Kongming lantern, Lu Bu was beating a drum in his heart.

The oil lamp had been lit for quite a while, and the leather bag hadn't bulged yet.

Just when he was almost desperate, the animal skin bag moved.

Seeing the bag move, a smile appeared on Lu Bu's face.

Everyone in a circle also saw the bag move, but their expressions were blank.

Zhao Yun even whispered to Chen Dao: "If Marquis Wen wants to blow up the bag, he can just blow it with his mouth, why use fire?"

Chen Dao pursed his lips, and glanced at Zhao Yun with an expression of "I don't know".

After waiting for a while, the animal skin bag placed on the flame gradually bulged.

The bag became more and more bulging, and most of the heat from the flames was absorbed by it.

As the heat increased, the animal skin bag gradually became a ball.

When it was fully inflated, the wooden frame shook and lifted off the ground.

Everyone watched in astonishment as the bulging bag lifted off the ground with the wooden frame and oil lamp.

When it completely left the ground, its rising speed became faster and faster.

Gradually, it rose to a height higher than the crowd, and under the night wind, it fluttered into the air.

The Kongming Lantern flew higher and higher, and everyone including Lu Bu looked up at it as it rose into the air and drifted away with the wind.

"How did Marquis Wen do it?" Pang Tong swallowed and asked Lu Bu.

Lu Bu smiled: "Didn't you notice it? Putting your hand on the fire, you can feel the heat even at a distance. Also, when we burn things, thick smoke rises into the air. I also rely on the flame According to this characteristic, the heated breath is lighter than the cold one. As long as the hot air is surrounded by something, the balloon will definitely be able to fly.”

Everyone was stunned, and their admiration for Lu Bu was like a surging river, out of control.

"We have all seen fire and smoke, but no one has ever thought that fire can be used to send things to the sky." Pang Tong asked, "How does Marquis Wen plan to name the things we just created?"

"It carries oil lamps. If you release a few of them, it can convey military information." Lu Bu said, "As for naming it, I don't think it's appropriate for me to do it."

He then chuckled.

Pang Tong thought about how ordinary people could compare, and immediately understood what he meant.

"Since this object was made by Marquis Wen, of course it should be named Marquis Wen Lantern?" Pang Tong said: "In the future, the army can indeed use it to convey military information."

"Wenhou Deng..." Lu Bu pinched his chin and thought for a while: "I don't think it's very good."

Pang Tong suddenly realized.

Marquis Wen was bestowed upon Lv Bu by the Han Dynasty. Although when mentioning this title, people think of Lv Bu, but no one knows if there will be someone with the same title who will be more popular than him in the future.

Pang Tong, who understood it, immediately said: "Since Marquis Wen is dissatisfied with the name, why not name it Feng Xiandeng?"

Lu Bu nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This name is very good, one is that it fits my name, and the other is that this name has a deep meaning."

"Following the order of heaven, we should take the lead." Pang Tong said, "It is really meaningful to choose such a name."

He then asked Lv Bu: "Marquis Wen said that if you want to build a balloon that can carry people to the sky, what would it look like?"

"Fengxian lanterns can go up to the sky, and of course balloons can." Lu Bu said, "We can use coal to burn a brazier and increase the skin bag on the Fengxian lamp hundreds or even thousands of times. As long as there is enough heat in the skin bag, we can carry a few It is not difficult for a person to go to the sky. Then use the method of adjusting the amount of hot air in the skin to control the height of the balloon, and use the rudder to control the direction like navigating in water. We will have a ubiquitous air force!"

Pang Tong, who lived at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, could not have the concept of an air force after all.

Hearing the word "Air Force" for the first time, Pang Tong looked at Lu Bu in astonishment: "Wen Hou means..."

"Shenbing descended from the sky probably means this." Lu Bu said: "Shiyuan can imagine that no matter how tight the enemy guards are, it is impossible for the enemy to watch the sky at all times. Even if countless balloons fly in the sky, most of them will not think of the balloons. What will happen. Our soldiers cross the enemy's line of defense in a balloon, and launch a surprise attack from behind after landing. How can the enemy defend against it? What's more, if the enemy defends against the danger, our army can also ignore the natural danger. Take the line of defense from them."

"If the soldiers can really fall from the sky, who will be able to stop Wen Hou from now on?" Pang Tong asked in astonishment.

"As long as I have enough elite soldiers, how difficult is it to rule the world?" Lu Bu smiled slightly: "In three years, the whole world will see how I rise and trample down those who used to be above me. "

"Marquis Wen has great ambitions, we will definitely follow!" Pang Tong, Zhao Yun and others agreed together.

"It's not troublesome to build the balloon, but there are still some technical problems to be solved in the control." Lu Bu said: "It seems that only the flying kite can be used to break through Wancheng."

"A flying kite is logically similar to a kite." Pang Tong said, "It shouldn't be very difficult to build."

"Although it's not very difficult, how to take off is a problem." Lu Bu said: "People are flying on kites, and they can't be dragged up like kites."

Pang Tong nodded.

He really wouldn't find it difficult to ask him to make plans to attack the city.

But if he was asked to develop a flying kite that could carry people to the sky, he really wasn't that material.

In developing Feiyuan, Pang Tong, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and others couldn't help at all!
