Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Looking left and right, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Master, how many of these things are you going to build?"

"Is there any difficulty?"

Deng Gui pondered for a while, and said: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult, among these things, it's just what you want."

He looked down again, and continued: "It's the fuel injector. It took a little effort to make a few words. How do you use these things when you build them?"

"Master, I know what you're worried about, don't worry about heat insulation!"

He pointed to a package of things at the door of the room, "Go and have a look!"

Deng Gui walked over, and as soon as he opened it, he exclaimed.

"This is Huo Raccoon?!"

As he spoke, he gestured to reach out to wipe it off, but suddenly stopped again.

He ran to the back room, and after a while, he came out with a pair of thick gloves and a pig's snout on his head.

Seeing his attire, Liu Bai immediately felt relieved.

From this point, it can be seen that Lao Deng is a man of real ability.

These days, there are not many craftsmen who are qualified to be exposed to asbestos

"Young master, don't worry, everything will be fine, just wait for a day, and at this time tomorrow, I will send the things to you!"

Liu Bai smiled and nodded, and said, "Alright! At this time tomorrow, we'll be waiting for you outside the city!"

Deng Gui's craftsmanship is not built.

On the morning of the third day Liu Bai stayed in Youzhou City, a large cart of messy things was transported outside the city, in a dense forest that was rarely visited by people.

Except for Xu Chu, only Li Chengqian followed Liu Bai to help.

Li Chengqian stepped forward impatiently, tore off the felt cloth from the cart, and tossed it down one by one.

Deng Gui approached Liu Bai mysteriously, and said, "Young master, these small things have already been tried, so it's not a problem!"

Liu Bai nodded, pointed at the cart, and signaled Deng Gui to help Li Chengqian.

Half an hour later, a huge monster with a size of more than ten feet was assembled!

Impressively, it is a huge hot air balloon!

The hanging basket at the bottom is not big, it can only accommodate three people.

Liu Bai is worried that the current technology is not up to standard.

Even if he asked Deng Gui to make a few simple parachutes, it might not be easy to fall off.

Li Chengqian and Deng Gui, one went to connect the rope between the balloon and the gondola, and the other carefully poured kerosene into the fuel tank.

The fuel tank was huge, Deng Gui poured more than a dozen cans and it was still not full, his heart ached so much that he gasped for air.

These days, oil is called Shiqi. From the imperial court to the common people, it has always been thought that Shiqi is a product of the Western Regions.

They are also sold in Chang'an City, and those hairy merchants from the Western Regions boast that this thing is more precious than gold.

A jar as big as a palm would cost more than [-] guan.

People in the Western Regions said they could be used to light lamps, but who would be willing?

Later, it was the literati who discovered that stone lacquer could be used to make ink, and only then did some sales.

Only Liu Bai knew what the real use of oil was.

The Liu family's caravan discovered several oil producing areas, but unfortunately, even with Jin Dajian's ability, he couldn't solve the problem of oil purification in a short period of time.

The only way is to fractionally distill kerosene and use it as fuel temporarily.

It takes four or five jars of petroleum to extract one jar of kerosene.

In other words, the price of a can of kerosene is hundreds of guan!

This doesn't even include wages!

Finally filled the oil, Deng Gui let out a long breath.

"The young master is too rich. It took thousands of pennies to make such a plaything."

He only dared to say these words in his heart.

Until now, he thought that this big guy was just the young master's toy

Liu Bai didn't feel distressed.

He is now thinking all over his head, can this hot air balloon fly?

"Brother Liu, let me go!"

Li Chengqian's face was full of excitement.

He already knew why Liu Bai worked so hard to create this big guy!

fly!

That is a skill that only gods can possess!

Exciting to think about!

Is there a Lingxiao Palace in the sky?

What does Sister Chang'e look like?

What kind of rabbit is that in her arms? Will eating it make her live forever?

Liu Bai glared at Li Chengqian, who was giggling, and said, "If you want to die, wipe your own neck!"

Li Chengqian froze immediately, but still felt a little bit reluctant.

"Brother Liu, look, you want to take charge of the overall situation below, and Brother Xu wants to protect you. Old Deng is getting old, and there seems to be no better candidate besides me."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became straight.

Because, from somewhere, Xu Chu brought the old sow

Chapter 393 Could it be that this is my Great Tang's protector animal?

Making a hot air balloon is far from as simple as it seems.

If Liu Bai hadn't been very interested in this thing and studied it for a few days, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to make it in a while.

The most difficult problems are twofold.

First of all, the immediate need to face is the fuel problem.

Kerosene burns well, but it tends to leave dirt after burning, that is, carbon deposits.

If you plug the fuel injectors, it will be a lot of fun

However, Liu Bai can be regarded as cramming for the time being, if he can't make do with it, he can only make do with it.

Secondly, it is a device problem!

The fuel tank is connected to the fuel injector. Once the flame flows back along the fuel injector, the fuel tank will explode instantly.

The key to solving this problem lies in Deng Gui's craftsmanship.

The sealing of the fuel tank is good enough to solve this trouble.

This was also the reason why Liu Bai was unwilling to let Li Chengqian go up.

wow——

Deng Gui carefully opened the fuel injector, lit it, and the balloon slowly filled up.

Li Chengqian's eyes were wide open, and his hands were shaking back and forth like a madman.

"Get up! Get up!"

"To shut up!"

Liu Bai gave him a kick from behind.

Now, Liu Bai is also a little nervous.

What is going on now is the most critical step.

After half a stick of incense, the balloon was fully inflated.

If the rope was not still tied to the tree, I am afraid it would have flown already!

Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Now it seems that the airtightness of the fuel tank must not be a problem.

Under the isolation of asbestos, the flame cannot burn the balloon.

Gradually, the big tree tied with ropes began to shake.

Liu Bai gave an order and said, "Loosen the rope slowly!"

The troops stationed outside Youzhou City for three days made Cheng Yaojin quite critical.

But Liu Bai had a good reason for what he said.

These three days of staying are related to the outcome of the war!

Cheng Yaojin knew very well that without Liu Bai's help, many people would have died.

He is unwilling to stay, and can only wait.

Lying in the handsome tent, there was a plate of thickly sliced ​​sauced beef next to it, and the two jars had already bottomed out.

"Every day, how does it look like you are here to fight?"

Cheng Yaojin grumbled, picked up a piece of sauced beef and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

Recently, he eats beef, and he is addicted to it.

Where the army passed by, there were always incidents of cattle loss.

Of course, people who have lost their cattle will always find a large bag of silver on the beam of their house.

Suddenly, there was an uproar outside the handsome tent!

Almost in the blink of an eye, Cheng Yaojin had already put on his helmet and rushed out.

In the army, one cannot be too cautious.

Don't look at Cheng Yaojin's appearance of doing nothing all day long, in fact, his nerves have been tense all the time.

"What happened?"

Lieutenant General Zhang Cheng ran over from nowhere, his face full of panic!

"Master! A big monster appeared in the east!"

"Big monster?!"

Cheng Yaojin didn't look to the east, not only was he shocked!

"What it is?"

The soldiers were in chaos, and many of them had already picked up their weapons.

"Calm down, old man!"

Cheng Yaojin kicked down a little soldier who was running around, and continued to look east.

I saw that a white ball was slowly rising into the sky.

The distance is too far, so it's hard to estimate its size, but compared with the surrounding mountains and trees, I know that this 'monster' is definitely not small!

"The whole army is ready for war!"

Cheng Yaojin ordered immediately.

Zhang Cheng beside him, although his face turned pale, still shouted at the officers to restrain his soldiers.

"God, that monster can fly without wings?"

Cheng Yaojin murmured.

While speaking, his eyes unintentionally rolled to the side, almost driving him half to death.
