Chapter 82: The Hot Air Balloon Lifts Off
"Old farmer Lu Ding see Young Master Mo, three young masters!" Lu Ding bowed his hand and saluted.
"He's the one you're talking about!" Qin Huaiyu looked at Lu Ding in surprise, Lu Ding was still an old peasant in his clothes, his face was full of wrinkles when he spoke, how could he look like a farmer who had been facing the loess all his life, and he also called himself an old farmer.
"Young master, if you say that other old farmers may not be able to do it, but for the sealing method, the old farmers still have family heirloom skills." Lu Ding said confidently.
When Merton sent someone to invite Lu Ding over, he had already explained his intention to him, and Lu Ding knew what his job was?
"Okay, then let you try!" Qin Huaiyu can only be a dead horse doctor now, and Lu Ding was also recommended by Merton, so he has a little more confidence in him in his heart.
With the addition of Lu Ding, the progress of the hot air balloon suddenly accelerated a lot.
I have to say that Lu Ding does have a unique skill, using some unknown things to refine the glue, after smearing a few layers on the cloth of the hot air balloon, not only does not make the cloth stiff, but increases the flexibility of the cloth, and even the fire prevention effect has been improved a lot, at least the phenomenon of water walking rarely occurs.
That night, the first hot air balloon more than one person tall was successfully lifted off! And successfully brought up a five-pound hanging basket.
"As long as the old farmer is given enough time, he will definitely be able to make the kind of hot air balloon that the young master wants!" Lu Ding patted his chest and reassured.
Morton looked at Lu Ding, who was obviously skilled in craftsmanship, but claimed to be an old farmer. But every time this guy makes all kinds of glue, he keeps it a secret by himself. Honest and with the characteristic cunning of a peasant.
"Good! As long as it can be made, this young master will not hesitate to reward! Qin Huaiyu watched the small hot air balloon slowly rise into the air, and said excitedly.
Since the ink art exhibition, Qin Huaiyu has been deeply infatuated with that kind of attention, but it's a pity that the reincarnation of the overlord is only with the help of Merton's pulley, not his real ability, but this hot air balloon is completely his own masterpiece, well, maybe there is a little bit of inspiration and help from the Mo family! But that doesn't matter.
They seemed to see themselves in a hot air balloon, floating in Chang'an City, enjoying the adoring gaze of everyone.
"Brother is the one who is about to go to heaven!" Qin Huaiyu and the three of them were full of joy.
In the days that followed, Qin Huaiyu and the three of them went to Guozijian normally during the day, but once they finished their schoolwork, they immediately ran to the manor where the hot air balloon was made.
The location of Qin Huaiyu's manor is also very mysterious, in the southwest of Chang'an City, the location is very remote, there are not many people around, and these three guys make hot air balloons during the day in order to keep secrets, and only carry out hot air balloon experiments at night.
Merton also took the time to look at it a few times, and found that the hot air balloon has become bigger and bigger, when it is full of hot air, it can even reach the size of a house, and the weight it carries is getting heavier and heavier, and the latest load capacity has reached about 100 catties.
Finally, it was time for the rest of the year, and Qin Huaiyu and the three of them mysteriously pulled Morton to the manor.
"Dangdang!"
Qin Huaiyu tricked Merton into the manor.
As soon as Merton entered, he was immediately attracted by a huge bulging sphere, this hot air balloon was the size of two houses, and there was a huge hanging basket below, and a stove was burning in the hanging basket, emitting a large amount of heat, and the hot air balloon was bulging, as if it wanted to struggle to fly, but it was pulled by a huge cable.
"That's it?" Merton looked at such an extremely primitive hot air balloon and asked uncertainly.
"Young master, don't worry! According to yesterday's experiment, this hot air balloon can already drive a weight of 500 catties to rise three feet. Cheng Chumo said proudly.
"And the stove uses good coke, and the coke can continue to burn for more than half an hour after adding coke once." Lu Ding added on the side.
Merton had to glance at Lu Ding with admiration, under the current level, he could make a hot air balloon, and Merton believed that even the skilled craftsmen who commanded Mojia Village by himself were nothing more than that.
"Yes, he really deserves to be the descendant of the public loser!" Merton exclaimed.
"Public loser! Lose class? Qin Huaiyu looked at Lu Ding in surprise, and said in surprise, this craftsman who is like an old farmer turned out to be the descendant of a famous public loser.
Lu Ding! I was not surprised at all that Morton broke his bottom line, after all, the Mo family and the public loser had a deep grudge back then, and they both knew each other's craftsmanship.
Lu Ding said with a sad face: "The old farmer just said that the public loser was just an abandonment, and he had no shame to use the surname of the public loser anymore, if it wasn't for the young son in the family who was sick and urgently needed money, he wouldn't be embarrassed in front of the young man." ”
Lu Ding was obviously not sure if his bottle of gas was oxygen, but everyone had the same idea at that time, since oxygen was made for the first time, no one knew what it looked like, so what if it was his own oxygen
But he didn't expect to meet Merton, a Martian resurgence experiment will debunk them one by one, just when his heart is like ashes, Merton actually directly rewarded him with a hundred yuan, which pulled his young son back from the ghost gate.
Now that it was determined that Lu Ding was the descendant of the public loss class, Qin Huaiyu and the three of them suddenly increased their confidence, and they were eager to try, but they were worried!
Everyone wants to be the first to be called a hot air balloon ride, but they are afraid of the unknown heights.
"What if I float up to the clouds and can't come down?" Qin Huaiyu scratched his ears and cheeks, and said worriedly.
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin immediately retreated, but they didn't want Qin Huaiyu to be the first to take the hot air balloon.
Merton secretly had fun in his heart, he didn't expect the three of them to be so brainy, but he was also willing to put a little pressure on the three of them, after all, it was the future life, and there had been hot air balloon accidents.
The three of them looked at Merton in unison, and Merton immediately spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me, I haven't been to heaven anyway." ”
The three of them were helpless, and muttered for a while, and the final result of the discussion was to put a sheep on it first and see if there was any danger in the sky, after all, compared to leaving a name in history, their own life is still the most important.
Soon, a big black sheep was moved over and tied to a hanging basket.
"Let's start putting the rope!" With an order, Lu Ding personally stepped forward to untie the first cable that fixed the hanging basket.
Without the ties, the hot air balloon slowly rose into the air, and the big black sheep also sensed that something was wrong, and began to scream miserably, making Qin Huaiyu and the three of them hairy in their hearts, and secretly glad that they didn't go up.
There were five cables in total, the longest one was five zhang, and one by one the cables were loosened, and the hot air balloon quickly climbed to a height of five zhang.
Looking up from below, the hot air balloon has become half smaller, and only the mournful cry of a big black sheep came down, and the three of them were slightly relieved that they could call it to indicate that they were still alive.
However, at this moment, an accident suddenly happened, a strong wind blew, the last cable was suddenly broken, and the hot air balloon carried the big black sheep, staggering and rising more than ten zhang, and began to flutter with the direction of the wind.
