[Comprehensive] Feasibility report on the restoration of the country

Chapter 29 The Difficult Birth of a Hot Air Balloon

After the army came to Yanzhou, Murong Fu thanked the guests behind closed doors for several days, and just hid in the room to write and draw.It wasn't until the fifth day after he was stationed that Deng Baichuan escorted back the supplies that Murong Fu ordered to purchase, and then he came out of the room and announced energetically: "Everything is ready, let's make a new gadget!"

After being stationed in Yanzhou, Zhong Er felt depressed knowing that he had no hope of participating in the war. These days, he mostly stayed behind closed doors except for daily drills.The master general had nothing to do, and the subordinates even had nothing to do, Zhong Shidao and Qiao Feng came together to join in the fun of Murong Fu.Seeing Murong Fu come out with a stack of blueprints in his hands, Zhong Shidao couldn't help but take it over and read it curiously, and saw that the first blueprint showed an oval sphere with a hanging basket hanging from it, and the blueprint said "Hot Air Balloon" Three big characters.Turning to the second page, it was densely written on the method of making the sphere of the hot air balloon, and there were some symbols that he could not understand to mark the wind direction, height, quality and other data.Zhong Shidao frowned, and turned to the third page. This time, there was less content that could be understood clearly, but he generally knew that this blueprint was for a new gadget called "coal stove".Seeing that there were still several pages of blueprints behind, Zhong Shidao simply lost interest in flipping through them, and just passed the stack of blueprints to Qiao Feng casually, and asked casually, "Murong Xiandi, what are you going to do?"

"The hot air balloon, isn't it all written on it?" Murong Fu said casually, and then ordered Deng Baichuan to separate the recruited craftsmen according to their respective skills, and prepare for a meeting.

"It looks like a Kongming lantern." Qiao Feng also couldn't understand the blueprint, shook his head with a wry smile, and handed it back to Murong Fu.

"It's the Kongming Lantern. It's just a Kongming Lantern that can carry people!" Murong Fu said with a smile. According to his plan, there are still several technical difficulties in making this hot air balloon.Petroleum water must be purified by fractional distillation, and then supplemented with coal to ensure flight power.Coal is easy to obtain, but the reprocessing of stone resin water has surpassed the technical level of this era. Now it is too late to innovate the technology. To make it, we can only spare a lot of money.With these two stumbling blocks, other difficult problems such as the airtightness of the hot air balloon, flight height, load capacity, etc. can be obtained through calculation and experiment data, which is already a piece of cake.Although it is still unavoidable to be depressed, "Ouyang Feng played the extreme sports of cliff jumping with a set of clothes, and Guo Jing conquered the Samarkan with a big kite. Why is it that this is the wind direction? Venus? Is physics only useful for those who travel through time?" Murong Fu muttered in a low voice while rubbing his sore eyes with his hands.

"Ouyang Feng? Guo Jing? Who is that?" Qiao Feng had profound internal skills, and he could not hear Murong Fu's complaints, but he could hear them clearly.

When Qiao Feng asked this question, Murong Fu burst into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "They are all characters in the storybook, it's not important." Then he said, "If you two have time, you might as well stay and help, I am short of manpower."

Zhong Shidao and Qiao Feng looked at each other and nodded with interest.

"Brother Qiao," a few days later, Shidao Zhong, who was half shirtless, complained while swinging the hammer, "Why do you think we have to forge iron here, and that kid Murong Fu flirts with a bunch of girls?"

Qiao Feng, who was also naked from the upper body, said with a smile: "If brother Zhong is good at needlework, you can also help me sew hot air balloons, and the little brother here will take care of it." After finishing speaking, he yelled and pulled the bellows with all his strength. The flames immediately burst into flames.

Zhong Shidao was speechless at once, and after a while he said: "I don't know what is the use of making this hot air balloon?" Zhong Shidao and Qiao Feng have asked Murong Fu this question not only once or twice, but every time Once Murong Fu talked about him only left and right.

Qiao Feng was equally curious, but he knew better that Murong Fu would never aim indiscriminately. "I heard from Deng Baichuan that in order to buy these things and find these craftsmen, Xiandi Murong gave him [-] guan!"

Rao is a child of a well-clothed and well-fed family who is a teacher, and he was suppressed by Murong Fu's arrogance. He swallowed for a long time, and said with difficulty: "He, the elder of his family..."

"Little brother's parents are both deceased. Except for a widowed aunt, he has no relatives or reasons, so he can be his own master." The two were chatting, but Murong Fu walked in at this time. "Little brother has never cared about money in his life, so he has never been short of money."

Seeing his indifferent appearance, Zhong Shidao couldn't help persuading him: "My dear brother Murong, you are not yet weak and don't know how deep you are. Even if your ancestors accumulated countless wealth, you can't squander it like this."

This time, without waiting for Murong to reply, Deng Baichuan, who was by his side, said proudly: "I know that my son is spending all the money he earns." Deng Baichuan saw the teacher. Dao taught Murong Fu a lesson, so he naturally wanted to stand up for his young master.However, he didn't mention that the [-] coins should be almost [-]% of Murong Fu's net worth, let alone that he himself couldn't sleep because of the pain when he got the purchase list.

Qiao Feng and Zhong Shidao both had expressions of disbelief, but Murong Fu only smiled slightly, and then said: "My oil fractionation tower is ready, and it is estimated that oil will be produced today, you two can follow me to have a look ?”

Qiao Feng and Zhong Shidao dropped their work at the same time when they heard the words.Just as Murong Fu was about to leave, Murong Fu glanced at the two of them, and suddenly smiled narrowly: "Put on your clothes, there are many girls and daughters-in-law there, don't be rude, beauties!"

Both Qiao Feng and Zhong Shidao are martial arts practitioners, and their bodies are vigorous.The teacher who taught Taoism was from a foreigner's martial arts, and his figure was still burly and majestic; while Qiao Feng had a waist and long legs, and his proportions were very beautiful.All he saw was a thin layer of skin covering his body, his waist and abdomen were clearly defined without a trace of fat.Against the backdrop of the fire, his skin was bright amber, and large drops of sweat slowly ran down his neck, crossed his chest, and sank into the depths of his waist and abdomen, like honey flowing under the sun. open.In Murong Fu's heart, if a girl's heart would be inspired by the way of being a teacher, then she should marry her.Qiao Feng is the husband-in-law appointed by his family's A'Zhu, so he must guard his body like a jade.

Qiao Feng and Zhong Shidao couldn't laugh or cry, so they had to stretch out their hands to pull off the coat.After leaving the door, Qiao Fengfang and Murong Fu walked two steps side by side, then as if he suddenly thought of something, he suddenly said something about his teacher, and walked one step behind Murong Fu.

Murong Fu naturally didn't understand what Qiao Feng was doing, so he turned his head to look at Qiao Feng, and restrained himself from speaking.Murong Fu didn't know that in Qiao Feng's mind, he, Murong's younger brother, was knowledgeable, strong in martial arts, kind-hearted, and his appearance and demeanor were as radiant as an orchid orchid and a jade tree.With such a talent as Murong Fu, Qiao Feng is always more careful when dealing with him in daily life. He is not afraid of being abrupt to those big girls and daughters-in-law, but he is very afraid of Mr. Murong being abrupt.The reason why they want to hold onto Master Zhong is because the two of them sweated a lot in the blacksmith's shop just now, fearing that Murong Fu would be suffocated.

The two followed Murong Fu all the way, and soon saw a cylindrical fractionation tower taller than a person standing outdoors, a raging flame was burning below the fractionation tower, water vapor bubbling from the top of the fractionation tower, and The slightly black oily liquid is guided from one side of the fractionation tower to the oil tank on the other side by a conduit.

"It's really majestic!" Zhong Shidao sighed sincerely.

"This is the simplest fractional distillation method. I have separated the impurities before the fractional distillation, and I have done my best." Murong Fu picked up a can of oil and shook it, "In any case, it should be stronger than fierce fire oil."

When mentioning the fierce fire oil, Zhong Shidao's brows couldn't help but twitch slightly. The fierce fire oil is not extinguished in water, but it is a military material.He was about to ask questions, but at this moment, the soldiers around Zhong Er came to order Zhong Er to summon him.

Zhong Shidao left in a hurry, but Qiao Feng stepped forward with a frown and said, "If our army really loses in the battle of Yongle City, and there are only 5000 troops under Jinglue's account, even with this fire oil, I'm afraid..."

Murong Fu was not surprised that Qiao Fengfeng guessed his intentions, and only said: "So I still need a hot air balloon." After speaking, he took a deep breath and cheered up, "Since we have the kerosene, the next step is to Manufacture qualified coal stoves."

With coal and kerosene, better quality steel can be produced.Solving the material problem of coal stoves, making coal stoves is just a handicraft.Three days later, Murong Fu personally brought the first completed hot air balloon to the top of the mountain.Besides Qiao Feng, Zhong Shidao, and Zhong Er, who came to watch Murong Fu experiment with flying a hot air balloon.

At the third quarter of Shen time, there was still an hour before the sun went down, the air flow was relatively stable, and the wind was normal.Murong Fu loaded the basket of the hot air balloon with objects weighing about the weight of an adult man, and ignited the coal stove filled with coal with kerosene.After a stick of incense, the hot air balloon fully inflates and rises slowly.The accompanying soldiers all gasped in amazement, but Murong Fu only paid close attention to the hot air balloon. Seeing that the buoyancy of the hot air balloon stretched the fixed rope straight, he cut the rope with a knife and let the hot air balloon float away with the wind.At two o'clock in the unitary hour, soldiers on fast horses found the hot air balloon that landed more than ten miles north of Yanzhou.

The soldiers obediently sent the hot air balloon back to Zhong Er's tent.Before Zhong Er could speak, Murong Fu knelt down and checked.After confirming that the hot air balloon was not damaged, he couldn't help muttering to himself: "It seems that as long as the wind direction is favorable to us, this method is feasible. I want to increase the load capacity of the hot air balloon and its flying height to avoid accidents. It needs to be increased by one third, and the firepower of the coal stove must also be increased..."

"Murong Fu, you made such a big battle just for such a thing?" Zhong Er couldn't help but yelled no matter how impatient he was muttering. "What's the difference between this and the kites that children play with?"

Murong Fu only glanced at him distractedly, and said with a smile: "Jing Lue, you will soon know that this is a military weapon!" After finishing speaking, he casually grabbed the pen and paper on the case, and calculated on his own .

Zhong Er looked down for a while, and found helplessly that what his nephew said was true, and what Murong Fu wrote was all ghostly symbols, and he couldn't understand at all.He had heard from Zhong Shidao earlier that Murong Fu seemed to be possessed by a demon as soon as he picked up a pen, and he ignored it when he forgot to eat and sleep.Zhong Er knew that there was nothing more to ask, so he just walked away.

However, Qiao Feng stepped forward and said worriedly: "Murong Xiandi, you haven't rested for a few days..."

"It's okay, I'll talk about it after I finish the calculation!" Murong Fu waved his hand without raising his head, and said casually. "Why do you need to sleep for a long time when you are alive, and you will sleep forever after death."

After leaving the door, Qiao Feng and Zhong Shidao looked at each other and shook their heads worriedly at the same time.After a while, Zhong Shidao told Deng Baichuan seriously: "Don't forget to watch your son eat."

"The villain knows." Deng Baichuan answered hastily.I saw him frowning deeply, and said with a sad face, "My son is always like this when he is busy with business, but this is not what the villain is worried about right now. The son said that he will make at least ten hot air balloons before August. Now a hot air balloon has been made for almost a month, and seeing the time is running out, I am afraid that he will have to do it himself..."

"What's the problem?" Zhong Shidao and Qiao Feng asked in unison.

Deng Baichuan's face was on fire, the so-called family ugliness should not be exposed, how could he, as Murong Fu's subordinate, speak ill of him behind his son's back?He hesitated for a long time, and finally reminded the two of them earnestly: "Don't dare to let my young master do it, remember! Remember!"

Zhong Shidao and Qiao Feng were like two King Kongs who couldn't figure it out, they didn't know the cause and effect, so naturally they didn't take Deng Baichuan's instructions to heart.

Two days later, Murong Fu calculated the data related to the production of the enlarged version of the hot air balloon, and asked fifty more soldiers to work for him.In the afternoon, he was bored as a supervisor, and when he saw that Zhong Shidao and Qiao Feng both carried a hammer and smashed the iron sheet and smashed the ground, he couldn't help but rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let me try too! "

Qiao Feng was hesitating, Zhong Shidao jumped up and thrust the hammer into Murong Fu's hand. "It's just right, I'm going to drink some water!" Pointing to the blueprint at hand, he said, "Make a cylinder according to this blueprint. You drew the blueprint yourself, is it okay?"

Murong Fu smiled nonchalantly: "It's so easy!" As soon as he hammered it down, a piece of the iron plate that had been flattened by Master Zhong was dented.

"Hey! Hey! You have less strength!" Zhong Shidao felt distressed when he saw it, and couldn't help but grabbed his wrist. "Why do you masters of the inner family use so much force and have no sense?"

Murong Fu put down the hammer and shook his hands, helplessly said: "It's the first time I do this, my hands are raw. What are you in a hurry for?" Then, he turned the iron sheet over, and hit the raised place just now with another hammer Going down, I saw that the raised place was sunken again this time.Murong Fu frowned, turned the iron sheet over again, and hammered again.

Master Zhong saw that the half piece of iron sheet he had managed to flatten was uneven by Murong Fu in the blink of an eye, and he was no longer thirsty and tired, so he just squatted in front of Murong Fu and pointed out: "Come on slowly. , take your time... less strength, more gentleness... oops! Look... this is really... how about I come, Murong..."

"It's impossible! It's impossible..." Murong Fu turned a deaf ear to it and just wrestled with the iron sheet.

Seeing him repeatedly smashing the piece of iron on the ground with bumps and bumps, Qiao Feng immediately understood the deep meaning of Deng Baichuan's words, "I dare not let my young master do it".He couldn't see it, and went forward to get the hammer from Murong Fu's hand. "Brother Murong Xian, let brother Zhong come!"

Unexpectedly, Murong Fu didn't listen to the persuasion, and hit the back of his hand with a backhand hammer.Qiao Feng flipped his wrist hastily, and made Xiao Qin take his "Waiguan acupoint" with his hand.Both of them possess martial arts, and they passed three moves in the blink of an eye.Although the hammer in Murong Fu's hand never hit Qiao Feng, Qiao Feng was also unable to grab the hammer. "Brother Murong Xian!" Qiao Feng yelled in disbelief, he couldn't believe that Murong Fu could fight him for such a trivial matter.

"This is impossible!" Murong Fu was even more unbelievable than Qiao Feng, waving the hammer and roaring angrily. "How could I not even break a sheet of iron! It's impossible!"

Zhong Shidao was afraid that Murong Fu would accidentally smash him, so he hurriedly dragged Qiao Feng aside. "What is he mad about?"

Qiao Feng shook his head, and only asked, "Where is Deng Baichuan?"

At this time, Zhong Shidao also remembered Deng Baichuan's explanation, and replied: "I'll look for it! You don't want to fight with him anymore!"

Qiao Feng nodded with a wry smile, Seeing that he promised, Zhong Shidao hurriedly turned his head and left.

After a while, Deng Baichuan hurriedly followed Mr. Zhong, complaining endlessly as he walked: "I said earlier, don't let my son do it... It's not too late..."

Seeing him appear, Qiao Feng pulled Deng Baichuan over without saying a word, and said angrily: "What's the use of saying this now? Why don't you try to persuade him!" He just looked at him coldly for a while, Murong Fu's face was ferocious, It seemed that the iron piece in his hand had revenge against him for killing his father, which made people shudder when they saw it.

Deng Baichuan hurriedly bowed forward, and said cautiously: "Master, you have been busy for a while, why don't you take a break and drink some water?"

"Don't drink!" Murong Fu glared at him angrily.

"Don't drink! We don't drink water!" Deng Baichuan hastily agreed and persuaded. "Master, you are a talented person, why do you need to do such rough work..."

"Shut up!" Murong Fu's eyes were red, and he growled like a mad dog. "My son, Wen Tao, Wu Lue, has learned from ancient times and modern times, and he is proficient in all aspects of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, astrology, and astrology! Except for having children, there is nothing I can't do in this world! How could I be handicapped? How could it be possible?!"

Seeing that Murong Fu was really angry, Deng Baichuan quickly shrank back, and spread his hands to Qiao Feng and Zhong Shidao to show that he had tried his best.

Zhong Shidao was choked up by Murong Fu's shameless boast and was speechless for a long time, before he managed to force out a sentence: "What's the matter with him?"

Deng Baichuan let out a long and helpless sigh, and said quietly: "My young master has always been arrogant, probably because... hurt his self-esteem!"

The author has something to say:

Murong: Apart from having children, there is nothing I can't do in this world!

Director: Brother Ding, if you really want to give birth by yourself, there is no other way!Want to try it?

Murong: ...
