Chapter 346: Presentation in the Rain
Xia Hongsheng worked overtime at home, and Xu also worked extra for several days, one person drew drawings, one person made a budget, and the two of them were in the study from night to night, and finally got all the things, but it began to rain outside again, and it didn't stop, and it rained for several days.
The weather has obviously become much colder all of a sudden, and when walking on the road with an oil-paper umbrella, even a few pedestrians can not be seen in broad daylight, where it still looks like the prosperous Chang'an in the past.
The autumn wind is quite steep, and there is a trace of desolation mixed with Xiao Suo, coupled with this drizzling rain, which adds a bit of loneliness. Looking at the mountains from afar, the field of vision is clear, and the water and mountains are full of water, as if they are slowly flowing, and they gradually flow here from a distance. The light rain sweeps the fallen leaves, making a "rustling" sound, but the mountains are more and more clean. The air seems to have been washed, and the extremely distant places that cannot be seen on weekdays seem to gradually appear in the eyes, only to feel that the vision in front of me is farther and wider, misty and misty, the mountains are swaying, and the water is rippling, like a light and elegant ink landscape. The hookah light cage is like a veil of mist lowered from the sky, so that the mountains in the distance, the trees in the distance, and the rooftops on both sides of the street, as far as the eye can see, become more and more blurry, hazy, very shallow and faint.
"Qi Yong, play faster, I'm going to be late." Xia Hongsheng suddenly woke up from this rain scene, and hurriedly urged, although he fell behind Qi Yong.
"Childe, this day is still a carriage, you have to walk by yourself......" Qi Yong was helpless, and looked back at Xia Hongsheng: "Childe." Or I'll run away with you on my back! If it's too late. Let Your Majesty wait for Childe again. to be punished. ”
"You know the! What to carry, run! Xia Hongsheng simply closed the oil-paper umbrella and hurriedly ran.
Originally, Qi Yong had prepared the carriage, but Xia Hongsheng didn't know that tendon was wrong, so he had to walk in the rain and walk with an oil-paper umbrella.
yes, you know the, haven't heard of it. Holding an oil-paper umbrella, alone, wandering in the long, long, and lonely rainy alley? What if a lilac-like, grumpy girl floats by?
Running wildly all the way, in the wind and rain, it was also thanks to the fact that the rain was not much, and before the clothes were completely soaked, he finally ran to the military aircraft workshop.
When I arrived at the military aircraft workshop, Yan Lide was there. There are also those bigwigs in the court, and Xia Hongsheng went over to salute them one by one. Then I heard Wang De's majestic "saint arrived".
Everyone greeted Li Shimin in the past, and Li Shimin entered the military aircraft workshop, so that everyone did not have to be polite.
According to Xia Hongsheng's method, the military aircraft workshop has distilled petroleum to extract gasoline and made some gasoline, and it has been raining for a few days, and Li Shimin wants to see the power of gasoline. Because of the magic that Xia Hongsheng said, the three brothers of the Li family who have seen it with their own eyes also said that it is miraculous, what is not afraid of flooding, can burn in the water, and will not be extinguished...... Such words made Li Shimin even more curious. Can there really be a flame that can't be extinguished by water? Isn't that what the legendary Samadhi True Fire can do?
So seeing that the weather had been rainy, he summoned the person in charge of the military aircraft workshop, Yan Lide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and asked him to go to the military aircraft workshop to arrange, since he dared to say that he was not afraid of water extinguishing, then simply try it on a rainy day to see if it can burn in the rain.
A large open space behind the military aircraft workshop was set aside for various experiments, and now a large pond has been dug there, and even a small boat has been placed in it.
Xia Hongsheng looked at Yan Lide, and Yan Lide nodded slightly, indicating that everything was ready according to Xia Hongsheng's arrangement.
Li Shimin was anxious to see the gasoline, so he didn't say a few words, and went to the backyard with a group of bigwigs in the DPRK and China who were deeply trusted by Li Shimin. When I got to a place not far from the pond, I looked left and right, and asked, "How deep is this pond?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the pond is nearly two zhang long, more than one zhang wide, and it is deep enough to drown one person, about one zhang fast." The young eunuch of the military aircraft workshop replied respectfully.
Li Shimin nodded: "Okay, let's start." ”
"Your Majesty, wait a little longer, the rain is too light at this time, wait for the rain to be heavier." Xia Hongsheng took a step forward and bowed down and said.
Before Li Shimin could speak, Gao Shilian next to him opened his mouth with a novelty, and said with a smile: "Xiahou, this is ignition, fire is the most afraid of water, everyone knows that you have to avoid the tide of water when lighting a fire, you can pour it well, and you have to wait for the rain to fall heavily?" ”
Xia Hongsheng smiled and said, "Elder Gao, what we demonstrated today happens to be the same thing that our military aircraft workshop made to ignite. The fire that burns after this thing is lit is not ordinary, it is not afraid of water at all, it can still burn on the water, and if you want to extinguish it, you can't use water to pour it, it will only become more and more dangerous. That's why I thought that when the rain was bigger, it would look more credible. ”
After listening to Xia Hongsheng's words, Li Shimin smiled and nodded: "It's okay." ”
Everyone didn't wait long, and soon the rain gradually became heavier, Xia Hongsheng looked up, the raindrops fell suddenly, and the thin veil covering this side of the world was replaced by a tight curtain, and the mountains in the distance were even more difficult to see, leaving only a vast area. And the mountains outside the city have quietly disappeared without knowing when, leaving only the mist rising from the rain hitting the green leaves, like a mirage, the clouds and mist are swirling, like a fairyland.
The rain is dense and rapid, without a trace of shyness and weakness, rushing down from the sky, like a heroic and sassy red face, the flower hall hits, heroic and compelling. Hit on the leaves, hit into the water, splash the water droplets, ripple circles.
"Your Majesty, you can begin." Xia Hongsheng bowed and said.
Li Shimin nodded.
Xia Hongsheng nodded to the excited craftsmen who were already waiting next to him who were involved in distilling oil, and those people immediately rushed into the rain. Seeing the emperor in person, and being the one who demonstrated to the emperor, this honor had already made them excited and impatient.
A few people rushed into the rain holding a jar of gasoline, and they could see that there were some ravines on the ground that had been picked, which were not very deep, so as to prevent the gasoline from flowing with the rain, causing the fire to burn too widely, and also to let everyone see that the fire could still burn under the rain.
A few people began to pour gasoline along the ravines in the ground, and eventually followed the ravines into the pond, and then into the pond. Several others began pouring gasoline from the jar into the pond. Soon, as the gasoline was poured in, a layer of colorful gasoline liquid floated on the surface of the waterhole.
"Your Majesty, this thing is the gasoline that Weichen said." Xia Hongsheng gave Li Shimin a jar containing half a jar of gasoline. (To be continued.) )
