As soon as he entered the house, Yuan Fang's eyes lit up, and the huge warehouse was full of people, each busy with their own work, the most eye-catching of which was a large shelf being assembled in the middle of the warehouse, Yuan Fang recognized at a glance that this thing should be the hanging basket of the fog balloon.

The big bird didn't come in with him, and after Yuan Fang and his party went in, he closed the small door and returned to his post, Yuan Fang looked around, the workers were busy with their own things, no one paid attention to themselves, and they didn't find Lin Mengsheng after looking for a long time.

The temperature of the warehouse, or the production workshop, is okay, although it is not as warm as the cave, but it is definitely not cold, and it is much stronger outside.

Taking off the gloves and cotton hat and handing them to Sang Rou, Yuan Fang walked to the nearest workers, looked at the soft cowhide they were sewing, and couldn't help but sigh to Sang Rou beside him: "It's really a good thing, it's much better than the leather we wear." ”

Ouyang Xianxue couldn't help but stepped forward and touched it, and before she could express her opinion, the female worker who was sewing cowhide was dissatisfied and said, "Don't move, this is a special leather." As he spoke, he looked up at Yuan Fang and the others with a little anger.

Ouyang Xianxue stuck out her tongue, Yuan Fang grinned, pulled Ouyang Xianxue behind him and asked the female worker: "That, Lin Mengsheng is not there?" ”

The female worker glanced at Yuan Fang, continued to bow her head and was busy with her work, and said impatiently, "Who are you?" Young Master Lin is inside. ”

Coming here, he was despised several times, Yuan Fang smiled bitterly, but he was not angry, but enjoyed the life of an ordinary person.

Without showing off his identity, Yuan Fang said politely: "Oh, we are from the imperial capital, looking for Lin, uh, there is something to find Young Master Lin." ”

The female worker glanced at Yuan Fang and Sang Rou again, and said in a slightly softened tone: "Oh, the imperial capital is here, Young Master Lin is resting in the innermost hut, you can go over and take a look." ”

After Yuan Fang thanked them, he took Sang Rou and them inside, Huo Bingyan frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, how do I feel that we are being ignored, these guys are too arrogant." ”

Ouyang Xianxue nodded and agreed: "Well, that eldest sister spoke coldly just now, which scared me." ”

Yuan Fang smiled and said open-mindedly: "People are here to work, and they are not here to see our faces, so don't be stingy, besides, if you are locked up here for several months and can't go out, your temper will not be any better." ”

As Yuan Fang said, these craftsmen and workers have not come down the mountain since they came here, at most they have walked around this hill, although the empire did not treat them badly, and the wages and treatment given to them are extremely rich, but the life without freedom will still make people feel depressed, and it is normal for their temperament and temperament to change.

The area of the workshop is very large, visually about thirty or fifty meters wide, one or two hundred meters long, all the way forward, just like Huo Bingyan said Yuan Fang They were really ignored, and some people were just stunned when they saw them, and then they continued to be busy with themselves, Yuan Fang was looking for things and didn't find Lin Menghan, and finally a craftsman had seen Yuan Fang before, knew Yuan Fang's identity, put down the work in his hand and showed them the way, Yuan Fang found Lin Mengsheng in the innermost corner of the warehouse.

It was a very inconspicuous building similar to a bathroom, with a façade of less than ten square meters, and there was almost nothing left except for two single beds, and Lin Mengsheng was sleeping soundly on the bed in the back.

The old craftsman lowered his voice and said, "Lord Yuan, forgive me, Lin Dashao has been busy until noon since the day before yesterday, so I will go and call him up." ”

Yuan Fang grabbed the old craftsman and shook his head and said, "No need, let him continue to sleep, you take me around first." The old craftsman nodded, carefully closed the door, from the female worker at the door to Lin Mengsheng's name, and the old craftsman's caution, it is not difficult to see that the workers here respect Lin Mengsheng from the bottom of their hearts.

The old craftsman's name is Wang Jinbao, about fifty years old, he used to make carriages, he has a good understanding of some simple mechanical structures, the experience accumulated over the years and the ability to deploy the overall planning, he was appointed by Lin Mengsheng as his deputy, and it is also the second task here, of course, this refers to the technical aspect.

Wang Jinbao took Yuan Fang around the workshop again, detailing the production functions of each area, such as several small warehouses next to it, some are responsible for the sewing of airbags, some are specialized in making hanging baskets, and some are responsible for handling the processing of various materials, each with a clear division of labor, and the previous large warehouse is an assembly workshop, which assembles all the finished materials into fog balloons, and if problems are found, they will be improved on the spot, and the female workers at the door are like this.

Back at the innermost part of the assembly workshop, outside Lin Mengsheng's rest hut, Wang Jinbao asked someone to move a few chairs over, and everyone sat down, chatting and waiting.

Through conversation, I learned that after the last test flight, Yuan Fang put forward a lot of things that need to be improved, Lin Mengsheng began to study sleeplessly, according to the information and direction provided by Yuan Fang, improved again and again, failed again and again, and started again and again, until a few days ago, there was a breakthrough, but there were still some small flaws.

Yuan Fang has not done research work, and Wang Jinbao has also mentioned it, but he can imagine the difficulties and frustration after failure, and what kind of perseverance he needs to persevere until now, Yuan Fang feels that he still underestimates Lin Mengsheng.

When it comes to the details, Wang Jinbao is even more emotional, the improvement of the hanging basket, not only added a small door that is easy to enter and exit, but also improved the previous materials, and changed to a kind of rattan made of a thousand silk rattan that is only available in Beizhou after special treatment, this rattan is light, easy to plastic, excellent toughness, after oil soaking and drying to make armor can be said to be difficult to hurt the sword, but the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, it is too flammable, and then brainstorming after some improvement, finally solved this defect, and now this special processing of the thousand silk rattan fire effect is not badAlthough it is not as good as steel, it is not easy to ignite.

With this material to weave the hanging basket, it can greatly reduce its own weight, and at the same time, it can also expand the planting space and increase the bearing weight of the fog balloon.

There is also the airbag, which can be described as an important component of the fog balloon, and the requirements are also extremely demanding, and it is definitely a problem to maintain light and have a certain amount of protection at the same time.

Fortunately, the fog produced by the fog stone has a great buoyancy force, which can bring up the weight of the ordinary cowhide that Lin Mengsheng chose before, but Lin Mengsheng was not satisfied, and continued to improve, and now there is some progress, such as the kind of cowhide that Yuan Fang saw when he first came in, which looked strong and smooth, but had the texture of leather armor.
