"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, although this little thing is simple, it is still easy to take four or five people to the sky once, but there are still problems in the control, otherwise, it can be regarded as a relatively practical aircraft!"

"You have to know that it took us a lot of thought to make this thing. The main reason is that the Huanbu is hard to find, and the airbag on the top consumes a lot of silk. This thing is not cheap!"

"However, a group of us are already working on the second-generation hot air balloon. At that time, we will try to see if other materials can be made into a hot air balloon, and then see how to adjust it to make the hot air balloon more convenient to operate!"

Li Shimin listened to Xu Bowen beeping for a long time, finally couldn't help it, and said directly,

"Don't talk about it, since you said before that this thing has been successfully developed, there is no need for another time. Today you will take me and fly there once!"

Chapter 617

Li Shimin's decision was blurted out, but Xu Bowen hadn't spoken yet, but Empress Zhangsun and Xingben jumped out, earnestly asking Li Shimin to take back his order.

Although Xingben knew a little more than Li Shimin, he hadn't seen this thing much, and besides, he and Empress Changsun had the same idea.

That is, if something happens on the ground or in the water, if something happens, you have to get up or swim back, and you will be injured at most, but this hot air balloon is flying in the sky.

If something goes wrong, is it possible that His Majesty will fly back by himself?

Li Shimin is such a person, sometimes he is really stubborn when he is stubborn, but now he feels that his dream of becoming a fairy and flying into the sky has been shattered, he can't listen to anything, and he just wants to fly up to see it.

Empress Changsun persuaded her for a long time, but it didn't work. She turned her head and looked at the "culprit" Xu Bowen who was standing aside pretending to be transparent. She turned her eyes and asked curiously,

"Xu Qing's family, after your hot air balloon is ready, has His Royal Highness King Qin ever gone up there?"

Xu Bowen knew that he had actually caused trouble at the moment, but did he dare not answer or dare to fool the queen when she asked her questions?I'm afraid I'm looking for death!

So I had to answer honestly,

"His Royal Highness came here once when it was just finished, and witnessed the first launch of the hot air balloon, but he himself never went up."

Empress Changsun was about to breathe a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that Xu Bowen hadn't finished speaking yet?

"Your Highness said... His Highness said that this thing is too ugly. In fact, he has long been tired of flying. When the airship can fly normally, he will go up to play again!"

Li Shimin and the others were extremely familiar with Zhang Nuo, so they knew that this seemingly impossible excuse must have been made by Zhang Nuo.

As a matter of fact, Zhang Nuo is really tired of flying. When he was a child, his local small county town followed the trend of national scenic spots and built some scenic spots. In fact, it was just a few broken mountains and wild lakes. He had to build some scenic spots. title.

The locals actually know that there is nothing to see in this poor place, but there are scenic spots in other places, how can we not have one here, and there is nothing to see, so let's find a way to make something nice.

I don't know which great god has a big brain hole, and actually thought of putting a few hot air balloons in the scenic area, so that tourists can fly to the sky to visit the scenery. Isn't this different from other scenic spots? Earn some money to ride a hot air balloon to increase your income.

But the team that went out to investigate and purchase hot air balloons came back with an ugly face within less than a week, and then cursed those people outside as profiteers.

They never thought that something as simple as a balloon and a basket would be so expensive, and the price would be millions of dollars.

I have to say that people in that era were really tigers. It was too expensive to buy, so I made it myself.

The balloon on the top is nothing more than nylon cloth plus asbestos cloth, not to mention the basket at the bottom, the most troublesome thing is the incineration equipment at the bottom, which was solved after half a day's research in Zhang Nuo's father's factory.

It is nothing more than the control of burning time, burning temperature, and burning interval. To put it bluntly, this thing is actually very simple.

After the first test flight was successful, the scenic spot discovered that this thing was made by itself, and a lot of it was leftover materials from the factory, so the price was so cheap that it simply launched a dozen or so in one go.

At that time, Zhang Nuo followed his father, the technical backbone, to take off, land, take off, and land again and again. He was really tired of playing.

Although it was banned in the end, it was not a standardized production after all, but something that was tinkered in a state-owned factory. It was not reported to the country, and it did not pass the relevant assessment and training.

But I have to say that this experience made Zhang Nuo completely indifferent to hot air balloons. Anyone can sit and fly in the sky a few times after school every day, and even have to float in the sky with his father for dinner on weekends. , I don't feel anything for a long time.

But Zhang Nuofei got tired of it, and still despises it as ugly, which doesn't mean other people are not interested in it, so Xu Bowen and others naturally flew over it, and now Li Shimin also wants to fly up there.

Li Shimin's reason was very simple. It seemed that the airship could not be boarded in a short period of time. When the thing flew, he would no longer be in Pyongyang.

If he wants to realize his childhood dream of flying in the short term, he can only rely on this unreliable thing in front of him, and since Zhang Nuo said that this thing can fly, besides, Xu Bowen and the others have also tried to fly it several times So what else is he afraid of?

When Li Shimin had to do one thing, even the eldest grandson empress could only step aside in the end. After all, the emperor's words were promises. Although Lao Li seemed to use the attribute of promises on Laipi, he was effective after all. no.

However, Queen Changsun showed her last stubbornness as a queen, that is, she asked that if Li Shimin must go up, then she would also go up there, and if something happened, she would accompany Li Shimin.

Regarding this situation, Li Shimin's first thought was naturally to refuse, but Empress Changsun also started to play tricks, didn't you say that this thing is not risky, so what if I accompany you?

Anyway, in a word, either sit up together, or everyone doesn't sit down, unless you, Li Shimin, order me, the queen, as the emperor now!

Li Shimin was silenced for a long time by Empress Changsun, but it was naturally impossible for him to issue an imperial edict to Empress Changsun because of this matter at this time.

So he could only turn his head and look at Xu Bowen seriously and asked,

"Xu Aiqing, tell me, how is this thing? Is it safe? If it takes off today, where will it go?"

Xu Bowen didn't answer immediately, but looked up at the sky, then smeared some saliva on his finger, stretched it into the air to feel the wind direction, thought for a while and then said,

"Your Majesty, don't worry about the safety of the hot air balloon. If it's the kind of hot air balloon that was just produced before, the lower officials will not dare to let you sit on it, because the quality of many parts on it does not meet the requirements of His Highness King Qin!"

"It can be used, but there is no guarantee when it will explode, but after our experiment is successful, His Royal Highness King Qin rewarded us with a whole set of real parts, which are now used in this, and the safety is absolutely no problem!"

"Besides, the weather is fine today and the wind is still light. If we take off now, it seems that we can fly to the port area!"

Chapter 618 Let's Fly

After Li Shimin heard Xu Bowen's answer, he felt a little more comfortable, especially the new parts he said were taken out by Zhang Nuo, which gave Li Shimin a lot of confidence.

In fact, Zhang Nuo has no choice. Many things look inconspicuous, but they are actually the embodiment of industrial strength. Just the simplest tank for fuel, to ensure that it does not leak under pressurized conditions, you have to carry it. , don't bump it and it will break.

At the very beginning, when building the first hot air balloon, Xu Bowen and others used clay pots handmade by craftsmen, and selected the one with the lowest leakage after repeated tests from dozens of pots.

Even fuel tanks are so troublesome, let alone nozzles and pressurization devices. These are the results of industrial development. Other aspects are not at the level now. He insisted that he could get it out by doing a lot of hard work.
