Chapter Five Hundred and Twelve: Test Flight
Fang Jizhong knelt down and didn't dare to speak. He quickly lowered his head, so he naturally couldn't speak at this time.
The old emperor was so suspicious that he knew best, otherwise the family and houses of these humeral ministers would not have sent anyone to investigate.
I don’t know how long it took, but the old emperor kicked Fang Jizhong on the ground with a smile.
"Get up, I just sigh. Although this matter is related to the country, it depends on whether Yun Mo and Zhou Heng have the ability to make this thing. If this cannot be done, let's talk about subsequent issues and wait and see what changes are going on!"
Fang Jizhong then stood up and saluted the old emperor.
"Then the old slave will make some arrangements now, but I heard that the harvested corn and golden potatoes in Beishan have been loaded into the truck and are ready to be sent to Datong. I want to try whether it can be planted there."
The old emperor hummed.
"I have to worry if I don't send it, but it's better to try it. If Datong can be planted, it at least means that Zhou Heng did not exaggerate it. This thing is indeed cold-resistant, and it's not bad to look at the results of their experiments."
......
Half a month later, Beishan.
The construction site of the new workshop is in full swing. From a distance, all of them are houses. Some have begun to install roofs, and the glazed windows are somewhat reflected by the sun.
Zhou Heng took a look behind him. There was an open space here. The first flying ball they had tested was ready. Zhu Yunmo was excited and ran towards Zhou Heng quickly with a letter.
"My father wrote to me and said that both things have been planted. After all, there are still many places for the garrison, especially some of the Zhongtian fields are almost deserted. This time it is green and looks good.
Lai Fu said that based on the current planting time and the fertile state of the land, the harvest of these two thousand acres will not be less than that of Tongzhou."
Zhou Heng nodded. In fact, Datong was a relatively arid place in later generations. Potatoes and corn are not picky about this. As long as the farming density is not high, it is easy to have high yields.
"That's good. During the planting period, people will watch it, so that Lai Fu does not need to be driven away. The more people know it, the better it will be. We will save us publicity. However, the cellar must also be prepared. After all, it will be cold when it comes to cold. After all, the harvest is quick to reserve the lower back. After all, potatoes are most afraid of freezing."
Zhu Yunmo didn't say anything else, and nodded quickly. He absolutely agreed with Zhou Heng's words.
"I'll ask Pang Ba to go to Su Mansion later to pass on the news. In addition, Wang Sanshun asked whether the prosthetic limbs here were made, and the veterans there were still waiting."
Zhou Heng knew that Zhu Yunmo had been to Datong and had different feelings for those disabled veterans. However, it is best to make molds on site. After all, it is really hard to pass on the message back and forth.
"Then let's tell Wang Sanshun by the way and let him tell the prince that it's best to bring a few disabled veterans to Beijing. This inverted model needs to be made on-site to be more comfortable and suitable, and Wang Sanshun and the others will not do it."
Zhu Yunmo nodded, "This is feasible. By the way, should we make a reversal model for the old general Cang first?"
Zhou Heng smiled. The main reason why he had a deep relationship with Zhu Yunmo was that Zhu Yunmo was a kind person and occasionally he was just protecting himself.
"Today I will test the flying ball first. General Cang's wood carving mold has been made. Just take him to Beishan later. Then we will make a few more. Not only should the shape be good, the counterweight, color and comfort must be good, so that it is suitable."
Zhu Yunmo wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Okay, I will listen to you, but why don't you notify me of the flying ball when you want to experiment with it today?"
Zhou Heng glanced at him and said that this guy could not be praised at all.
"Didn't you come here if you don't inform me?"
Zhu Yunmo raised his chin and said, "That's right, it's not easy to have so many guards around here, but don't we have to go to a more remote place? People from Beishan can see the formation here just by raising their feet."
Zhou Heng shook his head. This thing is not something that can be hidden. After all, many people can see it after it flew.
"No more hiding, you can fly here and you can see it in the palace. Where can you hide?"
Zhu Yunmo smashed his mouth, and as Zhou Heng said, this matter was not something that could be hidden, so he rolled up his arms and sleeves.
"I'll try it with you."
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Boss Xue, who was standing behind, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Yunmo who was rushing forward.
Zhu Yunmo looked puzzled and stared at Zhou Heng.
"What are you pulling me?"
Zhou Hengyi glared at him, "This is an experiment. Do you know what the situation is, or do you know what to do when you encounter a problem?"
Zhu Yunmo suddenly lost his ability, looked around and spread his hands.
"Who goes up, are you going up?"
Zhou Heng shook his head, "The prince will follow me and let Pang Qi, Brother Xue and Blacksmith Yao go up today. Brother Xue and Blacksmith Yao have been preparing for a long time and are very familiar with the arrangement of the flying ball.
If something happens to this flying ball, at least one or two skills are good. Yao Blacksmith is too heavy and falls straight down, and he has to fall into a meat pie. Pang Qi follows him and at least helps Brother Xue to protect the situation."
When Zhu Yunmo heard this, he quickly tightened his neck, and did not have the moment he was just screaming. He waved his hand behind him. Pang Qi came out of nowhere and knelt on one knee.
"You go up."
Pang Qi stood up and stood beside Boss Xue, and Yao Blacksmith also ran over, and Zhou Heng nodded to Boss Xue and the others.
"I don't want to say much nonsense. We have talked about it in detail before. Today's experiment is to see how fast the flying ball rises, what the wind speed affects the flying ball, and the other is to try to use the wind wheel to change the direction of the flying ball, and try to perceive the speed of the wind and the wind speed to move forward."
Boss Xue nodded. He was still smart here, patting something like a backpack on his body.
"Don't worry, the things are all ready, and we know what to do. If there is any problem, you can open the exhaust outlet and we will come back safely."
Zhou Heng pursed his lips tightly, with a look of distress on his face.
"I'm not worried about you, I'm worried that the flying ball will not come back or be damaged. This thing is too expensive. If you can save it, don't give up easily."
“…”
In an instant, everyone calmed down. Zhu Yunmo quickly walked to the front and patted Boss Xue and Yao Blacksmith on the shoulders.
"Let's start now, it's just that the weather is good now and there's no wind."
Boss Xue nodded and turned around to the edge of the flying ball. At this moment, the flying ball had been erected, and four ropes tied below to control the flying ball to stop rising.
He climbed a few soft ladders, grabbed the edge of the vine basket, and jumped in skillfully. Pang Qi naturally followed closely, grabbed the soft ladder, and flew hard onto the vine basket with his hand.
This time, Yao Blacksmith was left. He didn't have such a fancy move. He climbed the soft ladder step by step to the edge of the basket. Boss Xue and Pang Qi used force to turn Yao Blacksmith like a vine basket. With a plop, the flying ball swayed.
Zhou Heng turned his head and glanced at the boy recorded beside him.
"Write it down. The person who rides a flying ball next time will not be more than the standard of three Yao Blacksmiths, otherwise the weight will be reduced."
Boss Xue on the flying ball couldn't see what Zhou Heng said. He turned to look at the alcohol blowtorch burning on his head, and adjusted it slightly, and the instant whimpering sound sounded a little horrible.
Pang Qi glanced sideways and was not panicked. Boss Xue threw a rope to him.
"Now, tie it to your waist with a rope. If you encounter bumps or sudden whirlwinds, you won't be thrown out."
Pang Qi knew that both of them had experience than him. After all, they were still a little panicked when they were about to fly into the sky. They quickly tied the ropes according to Boss Xue's instructions.
Boss Xue looked below. At this time, the four ropes were shaking constantly. He shouted toward the bottom:
"Cut off the rope!"
With the shouts, a few boys rushed up from below and cut off the rope by wielding their swords. Boss Xue adjusted the flame size of the blowtorch, and the flying ball kept rising upwards in front of people's eyes.
Zhu Yunmo covered his mouth, stared at the boss with his eyes wide open, stared at Feiqiu, let go of his hand and shouted to Zhou Heng:
Chapter completed!
