"Be careful, safety is the most important!" Li Shimin ordered.
Pound bowed and said, "don't worry, your majesty. If you feel unwell, the old slave will naturally take the initiative to land. Mohou, what do you say?"
Merton naturally couldn't show his timidity and said proudly, "that's nature."
"Have a nice trip, no, it's windless!" Li Tai said sour. He also wanted to experience the feeling of taking a hot-air balloon. Unfortunately, he couldn't get what he wanted this time.
"Loosen the cable!"
With Lu Ding's order, the rope was loosened one by one, and the huge hot air ball immediately left the ground slowly.
Merton immediately felt that his feet were empty. With the swing of the basket, Merton's center of gravity was unstable. He quickly grabbed the basket. If he took a hot-air balloon for the first time, he felt that there was no landing under his feet for the first time, and his heart was naturally flustered.
However, to Merton's surprise, pound on the opposite side was extremely calm. There was no change in his face. He stood steadily on the basket and rhythmically controlled the fire valve.
With the rising of the flame, the hot-air balloon kept climbing, and the adrenaline in Merton's body suddenly rose. Merton could even clearly hear his heartbeat, and pound opposite began to blush. After a while, they adapted to the floating state slightly, and they calmed down slowly.
At the moment, they are interested in watching the scenery at the top. They see that they have floated above the imperial city. The panorama of the imperial city below is clearly visible. The original magnificent buildings look very small at the moment.
"The old slave lived in the imperial city all his life, and he saw the panorama of the imperial city for the first time!" pound smacked his tongue.
"It's really beautiful!" Merton looked down at Chang'an city like a chessboard and also praised it.
When they looked down, the whole Chang'an City stared at the rising giant sphere one by one.
Hot air balloons rose from the palace of the king of Wei. Naturally, the first people to see were the people in the imperial city.
"This is a hot air balloon!"
When Li Tai experimented with hot-air balloons in the Imperial Palace, he would naturally inform the people in the palace in advance. In the back palace, a group of yingyanyan, led by Empress Chang sun, couldn't help looking at the hot-air balloon in front of him. From their point of view, the hot-air balloon was too big.
"Look, there's someone under the basket!" a sharp eyed gong-e suddenly pointed to the basket and exclaimed. At the moment, the hot-air balloon has just risen, and everyone can clearly see the figure above.
Empress Chang sun immediately panicked and said, "come on, go and find out if King Wei boarded the hot-air balloon!"
A gong-e immediately took the order to leave and quickly came back and said, "tell your mother that it was not the king of Wei who boarded the hot-air balloon, but mohou and father-in-law Pang."
Empress changsun was relieved, but she couldn't help looking at Princess Changle.
Princess Changle shook her head and said, "don't worry, mother. Since Merton dares to take a hot-air balloon, he is naturally a little sure."
Princess Changle said easily, but her clenched hands betrayed him, staring at the huge lift off.
Too much in the womb.
Li Chengqian also stared at the slowly rising hot-air balloon and couldn't help showing an inexplicable smile: "fourth brother, you write the local chronicles and solve the mystery of earthquake and rain in order to make your father and emperor happy. However, you don't know that the more Mohist secrets you use, the more Confucianists will oppose you. Do you know that today's chaotang is still a Confucian family with great potential!"
……………………
With the hot-air balloon rising higher and higher, slowly, the people of the whole Chang'an city can gradually see the hot-air balloon taking off,
"Sheep fairy reappearance!"
In the meat market, a butcher who killed sheep flopped and knelt on the ground again.
"What is the reappearance of the sheep fairy? This is not the hot-air balloon played by the Mohist school!"
Even after two years, the people of Chang'an still have a fresh memory of the Yangxian incident. However, this time it did not cause panic. It was just a strange thing to see the excitement!
"It's so high! It's almost in the cloud. It's not a sheep fairy!" the butcher who just got up flopped down and knelt down again.
When other people saw the huge hot-air balloon getting higher and smaller, their original firm faith was not only shaken for a while.
"Mo boy, how tall!"
Pound said hoarsely in the basket.
Merton looked at the hourglass on the basket, estimated the time and speed and said, "at least 150 feet."
150 feet is about 500 meters later. Although the rising speed of the hot-air balloon is slow, the height of 500 meters will still be reached soon.
"Is there enough fuel!" pound looked at the growing clouds above and licked his lips, eager to try.
Merton checked the alcohol, nodded and said, "only 30% of it!"
They smiled at each other and immediately understood their meaning. After the stimulation of adrenaline at the beginning, they have gradually begun to calm down, and they don't feel unwell. Naturally, they won't stop taking off.
Pound came with Li Shimin's order. How can he not find out. Merton believed Lu Ding's research results for nearly two years. If the hot-air balloon made by Qin Huaiyu two years ago killed Merton, he would not dare to sit down.
"At least three hundred feet!"
With the continuous launch of hot-air balloons, the white clouds overhead are almost close at hand and seem to be within reach.
"The clouds are coming!" said pound excitedly.
The primary purpose of their trip is what the clouds are. The second is to see if there is a Lingxiao temple and a place for immortals above the clouds. When the clouds arrive, that is, the purpose of their trip is about to be achieved.
"This is the cloud!"
As the hot-air balloon plunged into the clouds, bursts of clouds floated around them. For a moment, their breathing suddenly felt moist, and their eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with water droplets.
Merton also reached this height for the first time. He was personally in the clouds, just like in the fog. He felt incredible in his heart.
"Sure enough, it's water vapor!" pound wiped the condensation on his eyebrows, not knowing whether he was happy or sorry.
Since Li Tai and Merton can prove that clouds are water mist on the ground, I'm afraid the theory of immortals is also illusory.
When the hot-air balloon continued to rise and break through the clouds, they saw a strong beam of direct sunlight. When they looked around, they saw the clouds rolling, but nothing, and the whole sky was still blue and clear.
"Mo boy,..." pound opened his interfering lips and looked at Merton, as if he wanted to continue to take off.
Merton shook his head and said, "our task has been completed and is enough to explain to your majesty and the king of Wei. Moreover, this hot-air balloon is only a preliminary finished product and is not enough to continue to rise. Moreover, we should not stay here too long."
Pound nodded with interest and looked regretfully at the rolling clouds.
Merton understands the people who believe in the theory of immortals. Now he personally verifies what the illusion of immortals is. At present, the control of the fire is reduced, and soon the floating force of the hot-air balloon is weakened and slowly begins to decline.
When the hot-air balloon went back through the clouds again, the adventure was finally over.
