The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 980
[Chapter 980 It’s called a hot air balloon]
“You guys, help move this iron stove to the basket.”
Cui Liu looked at the guards beside him and ordered.
The guards looked at each other, not understanding what Cui Liu was going to do.
But he still followed his instructions and lifted the iron stove into the hanging basket.
“Then, connect the sheepskin to the hanging basket, like me.”
Cui Liu was in front, connecting the huge sheepskin to the hanging basket with hemp rope.
When the guards saw this scene, they all imitated it.
Soon, something that had never been seen before appeared in the yard.
Compared with ordinary people’s homes, the courtyard of Cui Liumai’s mansion is already very large.
However, such a big yard can’t support what he made.
There was no other way, so Cui Liu had to ask the guards to move the thing outside.
Naturally, it attracted the attention of countless people on the road.
“Look! Look! Cui Liu has made something again!”
“This thing looks interesting, but I don’t know what it is used for.”
“What else can it be used for if Cui Liu makes it? “
It can fly into the sky!”
Cui Liu, who was originally an unknown person, successfully became a familiar figure in the streets of Kyoto Prefecture because of the invention of the gliding kite.
At first, when Cui Liu was making the gliding kite out of bamboo, everyone saw it and just laughed.
However, at this moment, I was just curious to see him cooking up something new.
There are still expectations.
What exactly is this thing used for?
Cui Liu did not explain to others.
He just ordered the guards beside him: “Choose one of you to go to Duke An Guo’s mansion and say that you have something important and want Duke An to take a look at it.”
The guards looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, someone stood up and said, “Okay, I’ll go!”
Cui Liu nodded, looked at the others, and ordered, “You guys, follow me and move this thing outside the city. “
Moving outside the city again?
Several people took a look at this huge hanging basket made of sheepskin, and for a moment they all felt helpless.
But there is no other way to take people’s money and do things for them.
Since I have become someone’s bodyguard, I have to help.
So, several people responded and helped Cui Liu lift the hanging basket.
The onlookers became more and more curious when they saw this scene.
“Cui Liu has another new invention? Let’s go over and have a look!”
“I was right next to the gliding kite last time. I saw it with my own
eyes!” “I saw it with my own eyes too, and I want to see it with my own eyes this time too. “Look! What is this new invention of Cui Liu?”
Everyone was talking about it and followed Cui Liu and left Kyoto.
Fang Mansion.
Fang Xiu was thinking about how to take the money away from those noble children.
No, take it.
Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.
How can it be called seizing?
At this time, a young man came up to Fang Xiu and whispered: “Master, Cui Liu said that he has something important and wants you to go outside the city and have a look.”
This was incomprehensible.
First, he said he had something important to do, and then he said he would take a look outside the city.
Are these two things related?
That’s all.
After all, he is someone who has never read a book.
Fang Xiu was not too harsh.
Since Cui Liu wants to let himself take a look, then it is no surprise that it is a new invention.
It doesn’t hurt to take a look.
With this thought in mind, he looked at the boy beside him and ordered, “Get your horses ready. I’ll go out and take a look.”
“Yes, Master!”
The boy agreed hurriedly.
Soon, a very luxurious carriage stopped in front of Fang Mansion.
Fang Xiu got on the carriage.
The carriage drove quickly on the newly built road and soon left the city.
Arriving at an open grassland.
Then I saw a group of people gathered in front of me.
Not surprisingly, it must be Cui Liu.
Fang Xiu gave an order.
Naturally, a servant came forward.
After a while, the young man came back and reported, “Master, here is Cui Liu in front of me.”
As he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from outside the carriage.
“Cui Liu has met the Duke!”
Fang Xiu heard the voice, stepped out of the carriage, stood in front of Cui Liu, and asked, “I heard that you have something important to do.
What’s important?”
Cui Liuyi With a solemn face, he replied: “When I return to my lord, I remember that you once pointed out to me that this way of flying is more than just wings.
After I returned, I pondered hard and finally discovered something interesting. Something.”
When Fang Xiu heard this, he looked at Cui Liu and said, “Oh? What’s interesting?”
Cui Liu replied, “If it is heated, the air will generate upward force!”
At this point, he paused. , seeing that the Duke’s expression did not change much.
He added: “My aptitude is dull. Your Excellency, you have been giving me advice for so long, so I can barely make some guesses.
Although I don’t know the specific reason, the heated air can produce upward force. It has been verified repeatedly.
It is indeed a fact.
Therefore, Xiao Xiao thought, if he could use this upward force, wouldn’t it be possible to drive people upward?
So Xiao Xiao listed a lot of data and created it. I bought a lot of small equipment and gradually improved it, and finally improved it into this thing.”
After that, he moved to the side, revealing the hanging basket behind him.
He introduced: “I made this thing in a hurry. I just put a lot of effort into the finished product. I haven’t thought about other things, such as the name.
I want to ask An Guogong to give me a name for this thing. “
naming?
When Fang Xiu heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
After a moment, he smiled again and said leisurely: “This thing is driven by heat. The first word must be heat. The heat drives air, so the second word is Qi. The second
word “Three words? If I am not wrong, this thing will look like a ball when it is unfolded.
In that case, let’s call it a hot
air
balloon .”
When Cui Liu heard these three words, he felt more and more vivid.
I chewed it carefully twice and felt even better.
With a look of joy on his face, he said loudly: “Thank you, Lord Duke, for the name. From now on, this thing will be called a hot air balloon!”
“Ahem” Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, “If there is nothing else, you can Then you can try it. Have you tried this before?”
This question is equivalent to not asking.
Very simple.
This Kyoto Prefecture is only so big.
In this season, the only thing flying in the sky every day is Kite Factory’s No. 7 kite.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
If this hot air balloon takes off, Fang Xiu can’t see it even if he is basking in the sun in the yard every day?
As expected, Cui Liu said: “I just made this thing, and I haven’t tried it yet.
I’m going to try it now.”
Fang Xiu nodded, waved his hand and said, “Okay, give it a try and give it a try. I’m here to watch.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
