Chapter 177 Air Force
Guo Jia led the crowd to the hot air balloon quickly, and stepped forward to help the shaking Zhang Lan.

Who would have thought that before he reached out, Zhang Lan had already opened his mouth wide and spat out.

Even Zhang Lan in the 21st century has never experienced high-altitude flying, and an ordinary student cannot afford an airplane, let alone a rare thing like a hot air balloon.

Fortunately, the flight time was not too long, and Zhang Lan already recovered a lot after spit two mouthfuls.

He supported Guo Jia, and reluctantly said, "This thing is a good thing, but it needs to be selected. We must choose those who are not dizzy. Feng Xiao, you will arrange it later. Pick ten people from the army to test the flight. .”

"Yes, my lord"

"Also, I ordered to continue building. After this test flight, I can't find any problems for the time being. Build more and send more people to get used to it. This is a sharp weapon for siege. It's okay, it's really uncomfortable. I'll go to rest first. Take a moment, Feng Xiao, thank you for your hard work."

Guo Jia smiled slightly, "Where is the lord, I will take you back."

Zhang Lan waved his hand, indicating that he could do it himself, and then left step by step.

After Zhang Lan left, everyone started discussing immediately. After all, before this, going to heaven was a myth and impossible for them, but today it really came true. How could they not be excited, even after so long? Time is still hot in my heart, I think it will be difficult to sleep even tonight.

It stands to reason that this secret weapon should not be discovered by most people, but hot air balloons are quite special.

Firstly, hot air balloons, a new thing, may not be accepted by everyone. This is a superstitious era. This kind of thing that can fly in the sky is so huge, they will be treated as monsters, and they may not dare to step forward to ride it.

The second point is also the need for suitable people to control, and these people must also be people who are not afraid of heights, otherwise, let alone the operation, the legs will be weak when flying up.

What's more, hot air balloons operate at high altitudes, so they are easy to be spotted by others even if they are far away. Be realistic.

Zhang Lan wasn't very afraid of heights, but he was still a little weak in fright. After all, he was really worried, but there was nothing he could do. If he didn't stand up and try, no one would dare.

After sending someone to send her back to the palace, Zhang Lan climbed directly onto the bed, feeling a little dizzy now, 'Since I'm airsick'

This is what Zhang Lan is thinking now.

In fact, this is not airsickness, but a normal reaction. After all, I have never experienced high altitudes. Originally, the higher the altitude, the more sparse the oxygen. In addition, no one is a land creature after all, and is not suitable for the environment in the air, so the first A little dizziness and nausea at a time is a normal reaction.

Zhang Lan, who was lying on the bed, fell asleep without knowing it. When she woke up, the sky had already begun to dim.

He got up from the bed, and ordered someone to prepare something to eat. He casually ate a few mouthfuls and then ordered someone to gather everyone in Luoyang.

When everyone arrived, Zhang Lan took the lead and said, "The hot air balloon, um, the thing that carried me into the sky today, is an artifact that transcends the times today. If it is used properly, it can play a very good role, but It is still not processed perfectly, and all aspects need to be tested.”

Zhang Lan paused for a moment, and before others could speak, she continued, "The most important thing is the adaptability of the soldiers. This hot air balloon needs to be controlled by humans. Without a correct control method, it will not work. It will take a long time." The training process of time; there is also the load-bearing effect of the hot air balloon, the wind effect, etc., do you have any opinions?"

Ma Chao was the first to respond and said, "Soldiers are easy to say. Choose the most elite fighters from the army and they will be able to do it. The wind direction is similar to bows and arrows. Then choose the best from the bows and arrows."

Guo Jia also nodded and added, "What General Ma said is very true, but the hot air balloon is a secret of our army, and it is easy to be exposed, but we still need to appoint a confidant."

"That's right, that's not right." Zhang Lan nodded first, then shook her head and said, "Indeed, as Meng Qi said, it is most suitable to choose from archers, but flying in the air is no better than flying on land. Although some people are brave on land, It may not be able to adapt to the air, but it is necessary to select the most adaptable personnel, and select from the confidantes."

"My lord, leave this matter to me," Ma Chao said.

Zhang Lan raised her hand, stopped Ma Chao, and said, "The selection method is different from the usual one. First select a few people who have the ability to lead the army, and then select the soldiers. The selection process requires a test flight, and those who fail the test flight direct elimination"

Then he looked directly at Ma Chao and said, "Meng Qi, I still have to leave this matter to you. You choose your confidant generals from the army, order them to take turns to test the flight, and wait for the selected ones to get used to it before choosing soldiers."

"Decree"

After a period of time, Zhang Lanming and Ma Chao personally selected more than ten people, and took turns to test the flight one by one. It is true that it is difficult to choose people who are suitable for serving as the air force, even in ancient times, but fortunately, one of the more than ten people is more Adapt to flying in the air.

The selected person Zhang Lan also believed, because he was Ma Chao's cousin - Ma Dai.

During this period, Zhang Lan has been supervising the manufacture of hot air balloons. He spread out the entire project, made each part of the project separately to form an assembly line, and finally ordered trustworthy people to carry out the final assembly.

A series of hot air balloons were developed, and the soldiers selected by Ma Chao were tested for flight, and more than a hundred soldiers who were suitable for the air were selected from them.

Arranged three or three teams of more than a hundred people on a hot air balloon, and began to practice air combat, but soon the problem was discovered, that is, the space of the hot air balloon was very small after carrying three people, and it was difficult to put it down More materials can't have a big effect, so Zhang Lan led everyone to start researching a new type of hot air balloon again. After improvement, the carrying area is enlarged and the load-bearing effect is enhanced. It can already be launched in the air for a short time. The first air force in history was born, but the number of people is still relatively small for the time being, and its lethality is limited.

Therefore, Zhang Lan once again ordered Ma Chao to select from them, and then handed over this air force force to Ma Dai. He ordered Ma Dai to be the governor of the Air Force, and he had full authority to train all affairs of the Air Force.

Ma Dai was naturally very happy in his heart, and quickly expressed his opinion to Zhang Lan that he would definitely be able to replace Ma with this air force and not let him down. After all, this is also the first air force in history, and he is the No.1 of this first air force Master, how can this make him not care about it!
