The guards stayed at the bottom of the mountain, Yuan Fang took Guan Xiaoyun and Sang Rou and they followed Wan Chunya and the elated female soldiers around in a big circle, visited the chicken coop and duck shed, and almost turned the entire farm, Yuan Fang came to the farm just a pretense, the real purpose was to go to the mountain next to him to check the development progress of the hot air balloon, but the female soldiers were too enthusiastic, Yuan Fang couldn't bear to refuse.

Outside a house not far from where the female soldiers were stationed, a female soldier had just added some coal to the stove, and when she saw Yuan Fang and them coming, she hurriedly invited her into the room.

The room was warm, without any furniture, a long kang with more than a dozen flat bamboo baskets on it, the bamboo basket was covered with straw, and rows of eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs were neatly stacked on it. ”

A warm smile bloomed on the female soldier's face, and she couldn't hide her pride and pride when she said this, as if the chicks that were about to hatch were her children, and she didn't care about hard work, showing the selflessness and greatness of motherhood.

Yuan Fang looked at the eggs covered by the blanket and asked, "How is the hatching rate?" Is it high or not? ”

Wan Chunya shook his head and said: "It's not clear, this is our first winter hatching, and the specific results will not be known until they hatch." ”

The female soldier glanced at the thermometer in the bamboo basket, hurriedly turned around and closed the door with a sigh, and watched the scale representing the temperature gradually rise, then patted her chest and said with a scared face: "Fortunately, I found it in time." ”

Through the explanation of Wan Chunya and the female soldier in charge of incubation, Yuan Fang, an illiterate person, knew that hatching is not just about throwing eggs on the kang, you must always pay attention to the temperature, if it is too high, you will be burned to death, and if the temperature is too low, the embryo development will be hindered and you will not be able to come out of the shell.

In addition to the temperature, it is also necessary to pay attention to the humidity, if the humidity is too small, the feathers will be stained with the shell when hatching, the humidity will be too high, and the chick's belly will be large.

In addition, ventilation is also essential, as for the truth, Wan Chunya they can't say why, anyway, these are the experience of the predecessors of breeding, as for the temperature and humidity of the right point, they have to explore themselves, now with a thermometer, it is much easier than in the past by feeling.

Then, Yuan Fang visited the residence of the female soldiers, the houses are all made of stones, yellow mud and straw as a binder, the ground is still land, each house is only more than 40 square meters, but at least four people live, compared with Yuan Fang's villa, that is a heaven and an underground.

These female soldiers have paid so much, but the living conditions are so difficult, Yuan Fang now promised that the first time in the spring of next year will send an engineering team to rebuild and improve everyone's living environment, listening to Yuan Fang say this, the female soldiers were overjoyed, and at lunchtime, Yuan Fang finally ate a delicious chicken cake is the reward of the female soldiers.

After lunch, Yuan Fang left the farm and went to the new weapon research and development base next to it, Wan Chunya hurriedly explained and went with him, Yuan Fang asked in surprise: "You don't stay?" ”

Wan Chunya smiled: "I still have to go back to take care of Yan Yue, and I'll come back when she gives birth, it's nothing big anyway." Yuan Fang shrugged, he could see that Wan Chunya still likes city life and likes to be with everyone, Yuan Fang secretly calculated, if he has time to talk to Wan Chunya, if not, he will transfer her to the imperial capital, anyway, the farm is roughly on the right track, just find a trustworthy person to come over.

After going down the mountain, walking more than ten miles to the west, in front of it was the camp of the elite forbidden army, Wan Chunya introduced, the garrison was the Black Wind Legion, an extremely powerful cavalry unit.

Yuan Fang's arrival, Ren Chang, the commander of the Black Wind Legion, personally greeted him, Yuan Fang had never seen Ren Chang before, and after a simple conversation, he found that this guy was very talkative, with a gentle smile on his face all the time, and he looked like he had a very good personality, but listening to Wan Chunya, don't look at him smiling all day long, that's just the appearance, he is famous for his strict army control, and there is no room for sand in his eyes, this, from Ren Chang's neat guards to the formation of a straight line, the error can not even be seen by the length of a horse's nose.

After some greetings, Yuan Fang asked about the base, Ren Chang's face became a little ugly, and it took him a long time to explain the reason, and Lin Mengsheng lost it.

At the beginning, Lin Mengsheng was ordered to come here to study hot air balloons, at first it was nothing, about a month later, in order to support the son of the prodigal son, he transferred a large number of craftsmen and a large pile of materials, since then, there has been the roar of explosions in the base from time to time, these are nothing, Ren Chang has been informed, and he will get used to it after a long time.

But just the day before yesterday, the hot air balloon also Lin Mengsheng this guy got out, the day before yesterday was the first test flight, Lin Mengsheng tried his best to do it himself, the hot air balloon successfully flew into the sky, at that time it scared Ren Chang and them, the soldiers pointed at the huge sphere in the sky, and Ren Chang was looking forward to this cross-era thing, but the accident happened, the hot air balloon flew higher and higher, the farther and farther, Ren Chang felt a little wrong at that time, and before he sent someone to the base to ask, a large number of people ran out of the base, It turned out that the rope anchor of the hot air balloon was broken, and the hot air balloon was blown away by the wind uncontrollably, and the speed was very fast.

Hearing this news, Ren Chang did not dare to slack off, and ordered his cavalry to track and search separately, but air flight and ground tracking are completely different things, the cavalry chased farther and farther, and finally lost the target, it has been two days now, Lin Mengsheng's whereabouts are still unknown.

Hearing this, Yuan Fang was full of black lines, what is the matter, Lin Mengsheng got it himself, and now that the person is gone, if something happens, he doesn't know how to complain about himself, besides, Yuan Fang has a good impression of Lin Mengsheng, and he has vaguely regarded him as a friend, of course Yuan Fang will not sit idly by, and after asking Ren Chang the direction in which Lin Mengsheng disappeared, he set off with everyone and embarked on the journey to save Lin Mengsheng.

Yuan Fang is also in a hurry, Ren Chang has already sent most of the troops to look for them separately, if they can't find them, Yuan Fang's two hundred or so people are enough, not to mention that this was already two days ago, and Yuan Fang is only a little late to set off now.

For two days, if you keep flying, I don't know how far you have to fly, according to the direction that Lin Mengsheng flew away, seventy miles away is Tianxing County in Xizhou, where the population is not dense but definitely a lot, if Lin Mengsheng's hot air balloon floats by, it will definitely be discovered.
