Chapter 354 The Impatient Yingzheng
A few days later, the entire city of Xianyang was empty again.
Many people came early in the morning outside the Daqin Royal Academy of Sciences located near Xianyang New City, waiting to witness the feat of flying to the sky for the first time in the history of Daqin!
Many of the people traveled thousands of miles, or even traveled all the way, for fear of missing the opportunity to witness this miracle with their own eyes.
After all, this is like a fairy in the legend, Feitian!
If it can be realized, no matter what method is used, it will be enough to compare with immortal gods.
If it weren't for the fact that the inventor is the most admired by the people of Daqin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who has created countless miracles, I am afraid that most people would sneer at it, or even start complaining directly.
Even now, Xu Minmin still has a dubious look on his face, Feitian is too dreamy!
And today, Ying Zheng canceled the court meeting for the first time, and directly brought all the civil and military officials to the scientific research institute.
Even the well-informed courtiers couldn't help being stunned when they saw the huge monster in front of them.
"Is the flying artifact His Royal Highness is talking about, the cloud-like thing in front of you?"
"Under the cloud, there seems to be a basket hanging there?"
"This thing is quite beautiful, but can it really fly?"
"I believe His Royal Highness, since His Royal Highness said that it is a flying artifact, it must be able to fly."
"Whether it can fly or not, we will know later."
A group of officials were pointing and discussing around the hot air balloon, but most of them thought it was unreliable.
"This flying artifact is a little different from what I thought."
Ying Zheng looked at the flying artifact in front of him curiously, feeling a little more puzzled in his heart.
In fact, the thing in front of him didn't look like it could fly.
"Father, what does the flying artifact in your imagination look like?"
Ying Yu on the side asked with a smile.
"I thought this flying artifact should be similar to a bird. How can it fly without wings?"
After pondering for a while, Ying Zheng spoke out what was on his mind.
Although he is the Great Qin Emperor, he is completely inexperienced in flying.
"It's the same as the bird, it's called an airplane, and with my Daqin's current technology, it can't be built yet."
"The one in front of me is called a hot air balloon, and it is the simplest type of aircraft."
Ying Yu introduced with a smile.
The hot air balloon drawings provided by the system not only have detailed material records, but also are quite beautiful after they are made.
Moreover, Ying Yu also specially asked people to paint a layer of beautiful patterns on it, which really looks like clouds from a distance, which can better alleviate the shock of the people of Daqin after seeing it.
Under the airbag and above the basket, a delicate fuel heating tank was suspended on a steel frame, and the kerosene inside was enough to keep the hot air balloon flying for several hours.
Moreover, the carrying capacity is also extremely strong, and it can carry five people at the same time.
"Can this thing really fly?"
Feng Quji and the others were still discussing while frowning.
Seeing this, Ying Yu shook his head helplessly. It seems that it is time to popularize the principles of aerodynamics to the officials of Daqin.
All of them are celebrities at least one way or another, so why is there such a fuss?
"When can I start flying?"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked.
It doesn't matter if the principle is not the principle, as long as it can fly!
Even the emperor can't get rid of the dream of yearning for the sky!
"It's all ready and ready to take off at any time!"
"Then let's start quickly."
Ying Zheng glared at Ying Yu angrily.
"No problem, Erchen will let people start the test flight immediately."
Seeing the impatience of Ying Zheng and others, Ying Yu waved his hand, and the scientific researchers who had already prepared started to work after receiving Ying Yu's gesture.
As the air volume of the blower increased, under the action of the air, the airbag, which was originally in a half-full state, quickly inflated.
When the airbags were fully inflated, the researchers tied the baskets with ropes one after another, checked carefully to make sure everything was safe, and then ignited the heating device.
As the air is continuously heated and lighter enters the airbag, the airbag begins to gradually rise obliquely.
The researchers flexibly adjusted the angle and firepower of the heating device to prevent the flame from directly burning the airbag.
Finally, the whole hot air balloon was completely filled with hot air, and it slowly floated up with the gondola.
"Fly...fly, really fly!"
"This big cloud-like ball can actually fly?"
"Unbelievable, incredible!"
"This is simply a miracle!"
Feng Quji and the others couldn't believe their eyes, they all stared dumbfounded at the little hot air balloons floating up, almost thinking they were in a dream.
Even Ying Zheng, who had always been calm, widened his eyes in surprise.
"Father, do you want to go up and experience the feeling of flying?"
Ying Zheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and then his face was filled with ecstasy!
The dream of flying to the sky that humans have had since ancient times is finally coming true today.
And I will definitely become the first emperor to complete the feat of ascension!
Ying Zheng's breathing became a little short.
Only then did the officials come to their senses, and their eyes were full of admiration when they looked at Ying Yu!
His Royal Highness is really amazing!
"This hot air balloon can carry five people. Besides father, who else wants to try it?"
Ying Yu smiled and glanced around.
Originally, it was just right for the three places to be reserved for the three beautiful wives of the family, but now that Yingying is pregnant, she doesn't dare to play such exciting things.
After Di Ya and Xiao Mei learned about it, they also voluntarily gave up this opportunity.
However, Ying Yu also promised them to build a few more hot air balloons at that time, and when it was convenient, he would take his family to visit various counties in Daqin.
"Does the minister have a chance to fly into the sky?"
"The old minister dares to ask His Royal Highness for a quota!"
Even Wang Jian, who did not change his expression in the face of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops on the battlefield, was so excited at this moment that his voice trembled directly.
"I also want to experience the feeling of flying."
"His Royal Highness, don't forget the old minister."
"Don't rob me!"
After Feng Quji and the others came to their senses, they scrambled to come to Ying Yu one by one.
This is the feat of flying to the sky for the first time together with the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Today's scene will definitely be recorded in the annals of history and passed down through the ages!
And flying into the sky is also their dream since they were young!
A group of important ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty completely disregarded their manners at the moment, and you fought for me.
Looking at the important officials of the Great Qin Dynasty who looked like a group of old urchins, Ying Yu couldn't help laughing, and looked at Ying Zheng questioningly.
Ying Zheng couldn't help hesitating.
This is really the trouble of happiness.
After hesitating for a while, Ying Zheng quickly made a decision.
"Let Wang Jian, Feng Quji and Dunwei follow Zhen and the prince to complete this feat of flying!"
After the words fell, Ying Zheng looked directly at the hot air balloon that was completely floating. He didn't want to wait any longer.
