Liu Chun picked up a large group of nephews, this is also something that can't be helped, who let him be less than the age of founding the sect, Tao Chengdao is so old, Liu Chun can't accept him as an apprentice, and then directly upgrade to a grandfather.

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, Tao Chengdao can be regarded as "Daila's junior brother", that is, Liu Chun taught him the skills instead of the master. Between the two, of course, they can't be counted by age, they can only rely on their ability, whoever passes on the art is the senior brother, the so-called eldest brother is like a father, in the rivers and lakes, the same applies, and it is more strict.

Since Tao Chengdao has recognized his senior brother, if he dares to betray, he can drown him just by spitting at Xingzi, and no one else needs to make a move.

Of course, Tao Chengdao will not be confused to this extent, after suffering for so many years, it is easy to hug a big thick leg, how can he be willing to let go, let alone call him senior brother, even if he is called master, he will admit it.

In fact, since following Liu Chun, Tao Chengdao has really learned a lot of skills.

For example, how to arrange dozens of people to advance the work in an orderly manner.

It only took them ten days to sew a ten-zhang sized airbag, which was tested and perfect!

The hanging basket was ready five days in advance.

All that remained was the heating device, especially the copper nipple, which had to be strong enough, and they cast fifty of them in total...... You must know that each of them consumed more than a dozen catties of copper, and Tao Chengdao saw that his heart was bleeding.

No wonder science costs money, isn't this just tossing with real money!

Of the fifty copper mouths, only three remained, and the rest were all scrapped.

Liu Chun thought about it, and he found that whale oil alone did not provide enough calories, so what should he do? He remembered the preheating unit he had made at the steel mill.

Therefore, Liu Chun made a huge blower, prepared a stove around to heat it, and then made a large leather cylinder to collect the hot gas, aimed it at the hot air balloon, and puffed up the hot air balloon.

In this way, whale oil combustion only needs to maintain the heat of the air.

They worked hard for twenty-five days, and at last everything was in order.

Liu Chun was going to conduct an animal experiment first, but when he thought of the seven pigs before, he hesitated, the pigs are not good, get two sheep and see if it can be done!

Just when Liu Chun was about to make a move, a group of people suddenly came to the sky.

The old man at the head is not angry and arrogant, and scolds when he meets!

"You little rabbit cub, I spent money and worked hard to build it, but I didn't let me be the first to go up, you want to bully the king?"

It was Lao Zhu who came, His Majesty the Emperor, obviously attached great importance to the plan of flying to the sky, and he actually came in a small way, he was angry, and made it clear that Xingshi was guilty,

Liu Chun is speechless, you still have the face to mention!

The thirty yuan can't even buy a hanging basket, and the rest of the money is from the master, okay?

Obviously, Liu Chun has already counted the investment of the prince, Zhu Di, Lan Yu, Li Jinglong and others as his own credit, there is nothing wrong with it!

"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to be the first to go up?"

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Liu Chun's evil smile on his face, and couldn't help but say: "What kind of calculation are you kid trying to recruit me from the truth!" ”

"Your Majesty, everything is risky, and this first test will inevitably cause accidents, so you need to conduct a safety inspection first."

Zhu Yuanzhang was thoughtful, wasn't it Tao Chengdao who blew up seven pigs before! It should indeed be verified that Lao Zhu doesn't want to die in a hot air balloon.

"Okay, then you can go up and take a look for me!"

"What?"

Liu Chun almost wants to scold the street, you old shameless, you are afraid of death, the master is not afraid!

"Your Majesty, it's best to conduct animal experiments for the first time. If it is okay to use a real person, the minister asks His Majesty to take out 200,000 taels of gold as compensation for the warrior, and once he is martyred, this money will be given to the warrior's family. ”

Hearing Liu Chun say this, Tao Chengdao, as well as his students, were all eager to try, their eyes lit up, what is a small life, 200,000 taels of gold, enough to build a gold house!

"Ahem!"

Lao Zhu's face was not good, and he said angrily: "Serve the country, why bother, since you want to use livestock first, then try it!" ”

Liu Chun can be regarded as having figured out Lao Zhu's pulse, His Majesty the Emperor is simply very picky, as long as it is mentioned that spending money and spending a lot of money, he will immediately change his mind.

Liu Chun hurriedly ordered, several stoves were lit together, and the wind blowing from the blower over there was heated through the stove, and then passed through the pottery pipe and leather mouth, and squeezed into the hot air balloon.

Gradually, a behemoth appeared in front of him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded, so big! It's so big!

The diameter of the hot air balloon has reached about eleven zhang, Tao Chengdao also spares no expense, Liu Chun gave so much money, if he can't do it well, he will really die.

After about half an hour, the hot air balloon was finally filled, bulging, and the momentum towards the sky was amazing, and if it were not for the eight huge ropes underneath, the hot air balloon would have flown off.

"Okay! It really works! ”

Tao Chengdao slapped excitedly, and he subconsciously wanted to jump in.

The dream of flying is close at hand!

Fortunately, Liu Chun's hand was quick and he held down Tao Chengdao.

He asked his two nephews to throw the prepared sheep into the basket, and then lit the heating device of the hot air balloon itself, and a pale yellow flame erupted from the copper beak.

The heat of the whale oil is abundant, and then it gets up without much smoke and even has a faint aroma.

The eight ropes were constantly relaxed, and the hot air balloon floated away in the air little by little.

"One zhang, two zhang, three zhang ......"

Everyone counted the scales on the rope, and each increase brought a burst of cheers.

Tao Chengdao looked up at the hot air balloon with tears in his eyes, his wish for so many years has finally come true! Crying with him were the poor apprentices.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the hot air balloon stupidly, and his eyes also emitted a blazing light. He was finally able to stand in the sky, looking down on the rivers and mountains, and feast his eyes.

Just when everyone thought the experiment was successful, Yoo Chun found a problem, because the hot air balloon seemed to be less full.

"Rope tightening!"

Yoo Chun decisively ordered, and after a quarter of an hour, the hot air balloon returned to the ground.

The sheep inside were fine, just bleating.

Liu Chun rushed to the position where the copper nozzle was heated and took a closer look.

"It's not hot enough!" He asserted, "Senior brother, you take the remaining two copper mouths and heat them up with three!" ”

Tao Chengdao did not hesitate, put the three copper mouth hoops together, and after another hour and a half, they were finally busy and could test it for the second time.

It stands to reason that His Majesty the Emperor's time is as precious as gold, but Zhu Yuanzhang just looked at it like this, without the slightest impatience.

And while waiting, others also arrived.

Prince Zhu Di, Yan Wang Zhu Di, Yan Princess Xu, as well as Xiao Fat Dun and two younger brothers, in addition to Zhou Wang Zhu Hu, Liang Guogong Lan Yu father and daughter, including Lan Yong and others, and then Li Jinglong and Li Wuflawless brothers and sisters, Xu Miaojin and fourth brother Xu Zengshou also came.

The big guys are looking at this behemoth!

Finally, the hot air was sent in again, and the heat output was increased, and sure enough, the speed and strength of the hot air balloon were much stronger than before, and it soon broke through fifteen zhang and hit thirty zhang.

The big guy's heart is also rising and expanding like a hot air balloon......

It's amazing!

Two sheep combined, more than 100 catties, heavier than a person, sheep can go up, which means that they can sit in a hot air balloon, fly to the sky, look down on the magnificent rivers and mountains!

Especially the city of Nanjing is on the Yangtze River, who doesn't want to understand the heroic atmosphere of the tiger standing on the dragon plate!

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hold it anymore.

"No one is allowed to rob me, I want to go up!"

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di both had the heart to stop it, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't listen at all, he smiled indifferently and said: "You are afraid that I will be in danger, it's okay, I have a way!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it and found Liu Chun behind the crowd, and couldn't help but scold: "Stinky boy, what are you doing hiding so far away, accompany me - God!" ”

Liu Chun hates Zhu Yuanzhang more and more, this damn old guy, he can't think of himself for good things, and he can't forget himself for bad things.

Why, the emperor is amazing, he can do whatever he wants?

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about Liu Chun's resentment at all, boy, I'm sorry, the emperor can do whatever he wants.

Lao Zhu pulled Liu Chun and got into the hanging basket together.

After having someone this time, Liu Chun personally controlled the copper mouth to ensure the flame output, the hot air balloon flew fast and steadily, and Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes greedily.

In the distance, the Yangtze River, filled with water vapor, runs across the eyes, as if tearing the earth in half!

Great!

Zhongshan wind and rain, tiger standing on the dragon plate,

Majestic!

Tian Lianqian Mo, chickens and dogs smell each other, and they can't see the end at a glance.

Looking back at Jinling, the city is layer by layer, which is worthy of being at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good place, and the weather is strict!

The more Lao Zhu looks, the more obsessed he becomes, this is his country!

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang took a look at Liu Chun, who was squatting in the corner.

"Stinky boy, what's wrong with you?"

"I, I'm a little afraid of heights." Liu Chun's little face was pale, pitiful.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally smiled, "Alas, your kid has made so many contributions, I really should reward you with something, you see, how about I give you three wives?" ”

Liu Chun's eyes widened in surprise, but Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, "Do you think that my Jinyi guards all eat rice?" The girl of the Xu family is the pearl of the king of Zhongshan, and Li Wufeng is also a talented girl in Beijing, these two people are more than enough with dragon sons and dragon grandchildren, as for the girl of Lan Yu, that is, yes...... Odd woman one! Your kid is very blessed! ”
