The happy life of a prodigal

Fang Xiu was thinking about how to take the silver from those honorable children.

No, take it.

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.

How can it be called snatching?

At this time, a young man approached Fang Xiu and said in a low voice: "Young Master, Cui Liu said that he has something important to do and wants you to go outside the city to take a look..."

This is inexplicable.

First he said he had something important to do, and then he said he had to take a look outside the city.

Are these two things related?

That's it.

After all, it is someone who has never read a book.

Fang Xiu was not too harsh.

Since Cui Liu wants to let himself take a look, it is a new invention without accident.

It doesn't hurt to take a look.

As he thought about it, he looked at the servant beside him, and ordered: "Prepare the horse, my young master, go out and have a look."

"Yes, Master!"

The boy hurriedly agreed.

Soon, a very luxurious carriage stopped in front of Fangfu.

Fang Xiu got into the carriage.

The carriage drove quickly, and soon left the city on the newly built road.

Arrived on an open grass field.

He saw a group of people in front of him.

Not surprisingly, it must be Cui Liu.

Fang Xiu gave an order.

Naturally, a servant came forward.

After a while, the boy came back and said: "Master, Cui Liu is in front."

After the words fell, a voice came from outside the carriage.

"Cui Liu has met the Duke!"

Fang Xiu heard the voice, stepped out of the carriage, stood in front of Cui Liu, and asked: "I heard, you have something important to do.

What's the matter? "

Cui Liu replied with a serious face: "If you go back to my lord, I remember you, my lord, once pointed out that the way to fly is not just wings.

After the little one went back, he thought hard and meditated, and finally found some interesting things. "

Fang Xiu heard this, looked at Cui Liu, and said, "Oh? What's interesting?"

Cui Liu replied: "If it is heated, the air will generate upward force!"

Speaking of this, he paused, and saw that the expression of the Duke hadn't changed much.

He added again: "Your aptitude is dull, and after you have pointed it out for so long, my lord, the younger one barely has some guesses.

Although I don't know the specific reason, but the heated air can generate an upward force, and it has been repeatedly verified that it is small.

It's true.

Therefore, the little one thought, if he could use this upward force, wouldn't he be able to drive people upward?

The small one listed a lot of data, built a lot of small equipment, gradually improved it, and finally improved it into this thing. "

After finishing speaking, he moved to the side, revealing the hanging basket behind him.

Introduced: "This thing, the small production is relatively hasty, I just worked hard on the finished product, and I haven't thought about other things, such as the name.

The little one wants to invite Duke An to give the little thing a name. "

naming?

When Fang Xiu heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

After a while, he smiled again, and said leisurely: "This thing is driven by heat, the first word must use heat, and what is driven by heat is air, so the second word is qi.

The third word... If my guess is correct, this thing looks like a ball when unfolded.

In this case, it is called a hot air balloon. "

hot air balloon......

hot air balloon......

When Cui Liu heard these three words, he felt more and more vivid.

After chewing it twice carefully, I feel better.

With a look of joy on his face, he said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Duke, for giving me the name. From now on, this thing will be called a hot air balloon!"

"Ahem..." Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, you can try it. Have you tried this thing before?"

Asking this is tantamount to not asking.

Very simple.

This Kyoto Prefecture is only this big.

This season, the only kite floating in the sky every day is the No. [-] kite from Kite Workshop.

Apart from that, there is nothing else.

If the hot air balloon goes up into the sky, Fang Xiu can still see if he basks in the sun every day in the yard?

As expected, Cui Liu really said: "This little thing has just been successfully made, and I haven't tried it yet.

Get ready to try it now. "

Fang Xiu nodded, waved his hands and said, "Okay, just give it a try, I'll just watch it here..."

"Yes, my lord!"

Chapter 981 Ascension

Cui Liu nodded and climbed onto the hanging basket.

A large amount of charcoal fire was placed in the hanging basket.

Cui Liu put some charcoal fire in the stove and lit it.

The next second, Fang Xiu saw this scene, frowned, and said loudly: "Put out the fire first! I have something to tell you!"

Cui Liu was startled slightly when he heard this, not quite understanding why.

But since it was An Guogong's order, he would definitely not disobey it.

So, hastily turned off the fire.

He climbed out of the hanging basket again, came to Fang Xiu, and asked respectfully, "My lord, what are your orders?"

Fang Xiu looked at him and asked, "You let the hot air balloon go up like this?"

Cui Liu had a puzzled look on his face, and he didn't speak.

Because he didn't understand what the Duke of the Kingdom meant.

Is there any other way to lift off like this?

Seeing his blank face, Fang Xiu asked, "If something happens to the hot air balloon in mid-air, what should you do?"

"This......"

Cui Liu hesitated for a moment, then replied: "My lord, to tell you the truth, the little one is already ready to die.

The young one has never read a book, let alone know how to read, but I learned a sentence from the storyteller, and the young one always thought it was very reasonable.

This sentence is, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening.

The little one thinks that if the hot air balloon can really take off as the little one expected, even if the little one dies, it will be worth it.

After all, for the first time, someone has to do it. "

When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression changed a little.

He really didn't think so.

Cui Liu's belief is so firm.

but......

Is it too much to be prepared to die just because you are experimenting with a hot air balloon?

Obviously there is a better solution!

Fang Xiu looked at him and said helplessly: "Then, why can't we tie hemp rope on the hot air balloon?

That way, at least there is an extra guarantee, even if the wind blows, it will not float away. "

"..."

Cui Liu was slightly taken aback, and then his eyes lit up.

Your Excellency is right!

Tying a rope can indeed increase a lot of safety!

Why didn't I think of it myself!

He looked at Fang Xiu with an excited look on his face, and said: "My lord's words really benefited the little one a lot.

Thank you for the reminder, my lord, let me prepare the rope now! "

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "You can rest for a while, I will take care of the rope issue."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the servant behind him and ordered: "Go find a hemp rope, make it strong and long enough, understand?"

The little servant hurriedly agreed: "I understand, little one!"

Strong hemp rope is everywhere.

But long enough is rare.

The boy searched all over the capital, but couldn't find it, so he had to start making it now.

Join a few decent ones into one long one.

It doesn't have much impact.

And Cui Liu tied the hemp rope together.

One end is tied to the bottom of the hot air balloon, and the other end is tied to a big tree.

It was wrapped a few times inside and out, and I was relieved just now.

Fang Xiu looked at the hot air balloon and thought about what he saw on TV in his previous life.

He said again: "I think you can add some weight to the hot air balloon to press it down.

If there is an accident and the energy provided by the heat is insufficient, some heavy objects can be thrown away to reduce the weight and achieve the purpose of landing safely. "

When Cui Liu heard this, he was stunned again.

The eyes looking at Fang Xiu are also full of disbelief.

He really didn't think so.

An Guogong saw this hot air balloon for the first time, and he was able to understand the working principle of the hot air balloon so quickly.

And there are so many suggestions for improvement.

It's just... unbelievable!

He hears it all the time.
