Hu Mo walked in the front and said with a smile: "Taiwei, please follow me. Next, I'll take you to see through the weapons of baishuiguan. We'll operate it, and the Taiwei will know when he sees it. "
"Let's go!"
Zhang Xiu nodded.
Not long after, Hu Mo led people back to his own home.
Hu Mo was in his early thirties and the leader of the village. In fact, the people in the village originally called Hu Mo a giant because they thought Hu Mo was the leader of the Mohist school.
But in Hu Mo's view, the Mohist School in the world is no longer the Mohist School of the past, just a group of skilled craftsmen, so he rejected the title of "giant". He didn't take a wife, and he didn't have any children under his knees, but he had a few disciples who lived with them.
When Hu Mo returned to the courtyard, all the disciples immediately gathered. Hu Mo nodded and saw the disciples under the door, cheering and quickly moving out a huge object from the room.
Zhang Xiu was surprised when she saw it.
This object is similar to the later hot air balloon. The surface of the sphere used for launch can be seen clearly at a glance. The innermost layer of the sphere is made of the most common cloth.
On the outside of the cloth, it is the sheepskin, cowhide and pigskin that are sewn together to avoid air leakage. At the bottom, there is a hanging basket with ignition device.
One should be set, very delicate.
After Zhang Xiu saw it, before she spoke, she saw Hu Mo and his disciples and quickly started to light the fire. The fuel for ignition is not firewood or charcoal, but anthracite from Nanyang County.
The heat of coal combustion is large, which can ensure the smooth launch of the hot-air balloon.
With the burning of coal and stone, there is more and more heat escaping. Gradually, the sphere on the ground gradually expands. Under the impact of the hot gas, it begins to lift off slowly.
The bottom of the basket, there is a hook, hook the ground stake. Even if the basket is launched, it can not continue to fly away, and it can still stand in the air smoothly.
Hu Mo saw the balloon rising and his face was filled with a smile. He looked forward and said in a deep voice: "Taiwei, this is our secret weapon, which is enough to let Taiwei break through the white water pass."
"This basket is big enough to hold ten people."
"Every family in our village has one, but there are forty-three people who are skilled and can operate smoothly. We can transport more than 400 people into baishuiguan at one time. "
"As long as you run a few more times, you can transport thousands of troops into baishuiguan."
Hu Mo said: "with this weapon, it's easy for Taiwei to break the white water pass. But Taiwei must doubt whether it is true or false. Don't worry, I will enter the operation immediately. When we take off, the Taiwei will understand. "
"No need to operate!"
Zhang Xiu shook her head and answered.
"Ah
Hu Mo heard it and exclaimed.
The look on his face broke down and immediately said, "don't you believe us, Taiwei? Ask Taiwei to give us a chance. We will make Taiwei believe it. "
After a pause, Hu Mo solemnly said: "as long as you see it, you will believe it. After we take off, we will also consider the speed according to the wind direction and the force of the wind. We have considered all kinds of things. With us, there must be no problem. "
He can't wait to speak.
In fact, all the people in the village are Mohist children. They live a hard life for Mohist ideals. Just so, when he got the news that Zhang Xiu was going south, Hu Mocai went to see Zhang Xiu in person, hoping to get Zhang Xiu's help.
With the support of Zhang Xiu, they can not only guarantee their life, but also continue to study.
Zhang Xiu waved her hand and said, "don't worry. I believe in you and the people in your village."
"Captain Xie, Captain Xie."
Hu Mo couldn't help rubbing his hands, and his face was full of excitement and excitement.
Zhang Xiu asked, "what do you call this device?"
"Flying ball!"
Hu Mo didn't even think about it and answered directly.
After a pause, Hu Mo said once again: "we first made flying kites. But the flying kite, although it can also fly in the air, is easy to cause accidents and is not easy to operate. "
"Later, we found that the candle was covered with a layer of paper and could fly up into the sky."
"Then some of us came up with the idea of making a flying ball. However, the production process is not easy. After countless experiments, the current results can be achieved. "
Hu Mo said: "not only that, every family in the village can make and control it. Taiwei, this is absolutely possible. It won't go wrong. Not only that, we've flown countless times, and we're sure to succeed. "
Zhang Xiu nodded.
He believed what Hu Mo and others said. Unexpectedly, he met a group of inventors.
That's a good thing.
In Zhang Xiu's opinion, these people are all treasures.
Zhang xiudao said: "if you are polite to others, you must ask for something. Say, you find my official, and try your best to sell the flying ball, saying that you can help me break the white water barrier, what benefits do you want to get? "Hu Mo heard this, a heart suddenly excited, zhengse way: "return to Taiwei, villain ask, no other, just ask Taiwei to give some money to help. Although each family is barely self-sufficient. But in fact, we Mohists, if we want to make and experiment one by one, it will cost countless money. Therefore, I sincerely ask Taiwei to give me some money. Of course, if Taiwei is willing to take us in, it will be better. "
But Zhang Xiu laughed in her heart.
This is a very simple condition.
Needless to say, these flying balls are priceless to Zhang Xiu. With these flying balls, Zhang Xiu is really able to win baishuiguan easily.
Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "Hu Mo, you can work for me if you want?"
When Hu Mo heard this, he also had a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He is not an official fan, but he wants to be an official. Because as an official, he can take care of the people in the village, have a stable income, and help the rest of the people.
That's all!
Previously, what he said was that Zhang Xiu was willing to accept it, which was better.
Now, Zhang Xiu wants to attract him.
That's better.
Hu Mo thought about it, but said honestly: "Taiwei, can a person like villain be an official? I can't March, I can't fight, I can't govern. Let me be an official, I'm afraid I'll be a vegetarian. "
Zhang xiuzhengse said: "I let you be an official, not let you march and fight, nor let you govern the place. It's just that you can take the disciples and the Mohist children in the village and concentrate on making utensils. "
"I will supply all my money."
Zhang xiudao said: "as long as your people are willing to be officials, I can make arrangements. In addition to salary, if you invent something beneficial to you, you will be rewarded. "
"Seriously?"
When Hu Mo heard this, he couldn't help but get excited.
Zhang Xiu said, "nature is true."
Pang Tong snorted and said in a deep voice: "Taiwei is a noble man. How can he cheat you. This is your chance. It's up to you to grasp it. "
Hu Mo immediately said: "the grass people are willing to work for Taiwei, but the rest of the people in the village, the grass people also want to ask. If you are willing to leave, the grass people will take them to work for the Taiwei. Those who don't want to leave can only stay in the mountains. "
Zhang Xiu said, "I'll give you two quarters of an hour."
"Here it is
Hu Mo turns around and leaves the yard in a hurry. He quickly arranges people to summon the rest to announce Zhang Xiu's decision. After everyone gathered together, Hu Mo said Zhang Xiu solicited things, without exception, are willing to follow Hu Mo together.
Hu Mo got a clear answer, went back to his yard, solemnly saluted Zhang Xiu, said: "Taiwei, all the Mohist people in the mountain are willing to work for Taiwei."
"Very good!"
Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "I owe you to be the left servant of the Ministry of industry, who is specially responsible for making signals of flying balls and practicing corresponding operations. All the Mohists in your family are incorporated into the Ministry of industry as independent researchers. "
"Captain Xie!"
Hu Mo quickly thanks.
In fact, he didn't know what the left Minister of the Ministry of work was, but he agreed first and then thought about other things.
