God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 796 Hot Air Balloon

Everyone shouted wildly, but Li Chengqian was very depressed on top.

What is His Royal Highness flying into the sky?
I'm flying, okay?
He looked at a group of wood turtles below, do you know what a hot air balloon is?It's like I haven't seen the world.

"Gao Ming, what are you doing? Come down!"

Li Shimin was a little displeased.It made him a little uncomfortable to do this in the first place.

Li Chengqian lowered the hot air balloon slowly.

After reaching the ground, Li Chengqian got down from the hanging basket and tied the rope to the pillar.

Everyone gathered around, looking at this huge hot air balloon, they all felt very magical.

Li Shimin was originally angry, but he was also attracted by this big thing.

It's so small in the air, but once it reaches the ground, it's simply a giant!

"Gao Ming, what is this? Why can it fly in the air?"

he asks.

Li Chengqian said: "Your Majesty, this is a large hot air balloon! As long as it is ignited below, this thing can lift into the air! Just like what Erchen did just now."

Everyone still doesn't understand how this works.

So Li Chengqian said again: "This thing is based on Zhuge Liang's Kongming lantern in the Three Kingdoms period!"

Only then did everyone understand what he said.

Although they don't know what the principle is, it is an indisputable fact that Kongming lanterns can indeed be lifted into the sky.We also often put Kongming lanterns.

But no one is going to carry it forward.

So everyone was shocked.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness to draw inferences from one example and use it like this. It's really a genius!"

"Yeah, what a genius, we still can't think of it, but His Royal Highness actually thought of it."

"If you can sit on it, it's like climbing high and looking far away!"

……

These ministers talked heartily, and at the same time, a large number of points fell into Li Chengqian's pocket, but he also looked down on these points because they were too few.

If you take this huge hot air balloon and fly in front of the masses, it will be a very pretentious thing.

Li Shimin was very upset by people's flattery towards others.

He glanced at Zheng Liwan, then at Li Chengqian, and said, "Gao Ming, the frontier is tight, do you still have time to make these playful things here? You know, the food and grass of our Tang Dynasty can't enter Liangzhou now! No river! You have time to play with this balloon here? Just to accompany this woman? To make them happy!?"

Li Shimin pointed at Zheng Liwan.

Li Chengqian never imagined that after Li Shimin saw Zheng Liwan, she would talk about herself everywhere.

Li Shimin thinks so much!Sometimes there are things that Lu obviously doesn't have, but after he said that, it's like that!

In fact, he originally wanted to use the hot air balloon to please Zheng Liwan and Wu Zetian, and it was such a pleasant thing to take them to the sky above Chang'an City to see the beautiful scenery of Chang'an.

Since Li Shimin was unhappy, he naturally had a solution.

After all, there are many examples of using hot air balloons to go to war. It is just a tool, and it depends on how you understand it.

So, he said: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood my son. My son is not like this."

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was very surprised.

"Okay, then tell me, why did I misunderstand you!? Didn't you build this hot air balloon for fun? I saw that you were so happy just now."

Li Shimin was a little irrational, but Li Chengqian was not in a hurry.

"No! Your Majesty, this balloon can be used to transport goods. At the same time, it can ignore the relationship of the environment. No matter how bad the environment is, it can transport goods."

Li Chengqian said so, if this is the case, then this hot air balloon is indeed a great artifact.

Empress Changsun also saw that Li Shimin was very angry just now, and she didn't know how to persuade him. Now Li Chengqian resolves the embarrassing crisis.

She also came out and said:

"Your Majesty, my concubine said that you must have misunderstood Gao Ming. Gao Ming is always working for the Tang Dynasty, how could he lose his ambition?"

Li Chengqian was secretly refreshed, with the intercession of Empress Changsun, not only would Li Shimin not scold him, but he might even reward him.

And be impeccable.

So he said:
"Yes, Your Majesty, I heard earlier that after General Qin went to Liangzhou, the ice and snow melted, and the sudden big river made it impossible to transport supplies. Therefore, I have been studying hot air balloons in the East Palace for the past few days. It happened when His Majesty arrived, and it is His Majesty who is very lucky."

What Li Chengqian said made Li Shimin very happy. He was happy, and everything was much easier.

"So I blame you for saying that!"

Li Shimin said bluntly.

"The minister is also at fault, and failed to report to His Majesty in time, which caused His Majesty's misunderstanding."

Li Shimin laughed.

His face changed in an instant. People said that being with a king is like being with a tiger, and they were talking about Li Shimin like this.

"Look, look, Gao Ming is your role model! You should learn from him!"

He was originally here to train Li Chengqian, but now it seems that he has become the minister of training.The ministers must be depressed, what did we do wrong?
Whatever Li Shimin said was right, Li Chengqian also said so, anyway, he couldn't say what he said.

Afterwards, Li Shimin said again: "How high can this hot air balloon fly?"

"Your Majesty, the height is the highest in four miles, and the air will become thinner when going up, which is not good for people's health."

That is to say, it can fly at a height of 2000 meters.For the ancients, this height can be said to be like entering the sky.

When these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Someone also said: "If you use it to fight, it will fly four miles into the air, and even the enemy will not be able to hit it!"

But so high, how to fight?
But it can be used to distribute leaflets to confuse the enemy and disintegrate the enemy's internal forces.

"That's right, not only that, if you use a hot air balloon to sneak into the enemy's rear at night, that is the most deadly existence."

These ministers finally played their role.

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "That's right, what everyone said is correct, that's why I invented the hot air balloon, but it has a fatal shortcoming, that is, the problem of fuel. If it can fly for an hour, it must be refueled, otherwise the hot air balloon will lose its power and fall directly to the ground, which is too dangerous."

If the power is unlimited, then it is powerful, a hot air balloon travels all over the world.

Others can't, but Li Chengqian can, because he has a mall where he can exchange fuel at will.

Li Chengqian spoke in great detail, which made Li Shimin's heart moved.

"After hearing what Gao Ming said, I want to try it!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
