Royal Gold Magistrate

Xiao Letian has gradually adapted to the current life.

Since being brought into Taoyuan County by Mo Xiaohu, his vision has been brought to a whole new level in an instant.

All kinds of food vendors on the street are full of fireworks.

All kinds of eye-catching signboards, banners, and "hot eye" advertisements are overwhelming.

The most important thing is that Taoyuan people have a different mental outlook. The people walking on the street look full of vitality and are always very happy.

Although I live in the capital, it can be said to be a 'slum' in the capital.

The eyes of the neighbors are dull, and there is a feeling of lifelessness all over the body, which makes people feel tired when they look at it.

But these were nothing, until Mo Xiaohu took him to the tea drinking place.

Only then do we know what paradise on earth is!

After a short period of ecstasy, they went to the firearms station and allocated dormitories first.

Although the firearms station is far away from the bustling areas of the county, the dormitories allocated are excellent, each with a small courtyard, and more importantly, meals and lodging are free!

He was overjoyed by the day.

But not long after being happy, Mo Xiaohu told them about the so-called 'project'.

Create a ball that can fly and be manipulated in the sky, a hot air balloon!

In Xiao Letian's eyes, this is not stingy with the Arabian Nights, and the other students who came with him think so.

Except for the people in Taoyuan County who firmly believe that it can really be made.

After a few days...the so-called hot air balloon that can fly has no progress.

It’s fine if there’s no progress, and suddenly a Mr. Li jumps up and down all day, directing...

Mo Xiaohu just grabbed his hair, staring at a piece of old and broken yellow paper with blurred words every day, thinking over and over again.

Out of face, he was embarrassed to ask Master Fang again, otherwise he would appear incompetent.

Xiao Letian was also curious about the content on the paper and asked about it in person.

The answer he got was that there were only a few words left by Principal Fang...but he couldn't remember them clearly, and there were only vague words such as "heat rising" written on the broken information.

There was no progress within a few days, and the mood of the few students selected by Eastern Suburb University gradually became gloomy.

Everyone obviously went to college to learn technology!But he just wanted to engage in this impossible flying ball without the slightest clue!

Then what is the difference between me and those alchemists who deceive people to make alchemy!

On the other hand, Taoyuan County is really a fascinating world of flowers and flowers. After going to the brothel once, I want to go again, which makes several people feel itchy.

But Mo Xiaohu has experience in dealing with this kind of situation!

I found a place directly, asked a few people to get off work, and went to the women's bathroom to pick up feces for a few days, and the desire subsided.

It wasn't until Mr. Li, who jumped up and down, publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the progress of the research and development, that things changed.

When he said that, Mo Xiaohu couldn't hold back anymore. One was that others didn't know the identity of the crown prince, but he knew about it. Two, after all, it was not a problem to ponder over it with just a few words.

So a letter was sent directly to the capital.

But even if they wrote to Fang Zhengyi for help, the freshmen of Eastern Suburb University still had no confidence, and so did Xiao Letian.

But on the second day, a miracle appeared!

A reply letter was sent directly from the capital, and there was also a [Zhengyideng]!

A bamboo strip is tied into a frame, the outside is pasted with white paper, and the bottom is decorated with a strange lamp with a base filled with turpentine.

When the light was turned on, it really flew into the sky!

At this moment, the army's morale was greatly boosted!Everyone has hope!

The image of Fang Zhengyi unknowingly added a mysterious brilliance to everyone's hearts.

The stature is getting bigger and bigger...

What's more, Jingcheng's reply letter also included a key point for making hot air balloons. With Zheng Yideng, Mo Xiaohu instantly had a plan in his mind.

Now that a breakthrough has been made, the subsequent manufacturing and commissioning project has begun in full swing.

Mo Xiaohu is experienced, and knows that it is impossible to simply scale up in equal proportions.

All materials and shapes have to be redesigned before they can be used.

So I found many carpenters and blacksmiths in the county.

After a few days of hard work, the basic design and materials were all ready.

Xiao Letian is only responsible for taking notes, recording the parameters, uses, and subsequent experimental results of each piece of material.

The others are just as coolies.

After a few days, after two failures, the hot air balloon did not rise.

Although the sphere on the top was bulging, it failed to take off due to poor sewing techniques or materials.

At this time, Xiao Letian was not only not discouraged, but actually had an extraordinarily indescribable sense of fulfillment in his chest.

This is different from reading... When he endorsed, he never knew what he was going to do, and what was the use of the books he read. He only had one goal or was told by others since childhood that his goal was to get promoted and get rich.

But now, although the manufacture of hot air balloons has failed, seeing such a thing, it was born from scratch.

What brought him a sense of accomplishment, a clear sense of purpose, every number in his hand, every record, can be clearly understood until it is for the next improvement!

On this day, the third test flight began!

Xiao Letian remained excited as always and waited for the hot air balloon to take off.

"Light it up!" Mo Xiaohu ordered.

The hot air balloon slowly became inflated from a shriveled state, and after a while, the thick hemp rope binding the hot air balloon basket moved!

Xiao Letian stared at the hot air balloon frantically, and kept moving his hands.

But the next moment, the crowd of onlookers broke out in a huge disappointment.

The hot air balloon descends slowly and stays on the ground, unable to rise any further.

Mo Xiaohu shook his head: "The third experiment failed! Xiao Xiao, have you written down the process?"

"Write it down, teacher!"

Mo Xiaohu held up his hands: "Don't be disappointed, everyone, failure is a common occurrence! You have worked hard these days, if you want to go back to the capital, you can go home and take a look, come back tomorrow and continue to study, let's go."

The crowd dispersed slowly, Xiao Letian handed over the notes to Mo Xiaohu.

Seeing his listless look, Mo Xiaohu smiled and said, "What's the disappointment? It's normal to fail hundreds of times. Didn't you take off just now? This is a good sign. You might succeed next time. This thing is not as difficult as imagined." , at least much simpler than muskets."

"By the way, you haven't seen guns and cannons when you come to the Firearms Institute. I'll show you some time."

Xiao Letian nodded: "Teacher, I think the power is not enough, so I should add another kerosene tank. If there are two tanks, the power to rise is strong enough. In addition, for safety reasons, it is better to have a spare after going up."

"Well, it's a good idea. In addition, the leather used this time seems to be not very good... I have to go to the cobbler to get some better ones to see if there is any more suitable ones. You can go home and rest first. I don't care about the carriage. I've found it for you, it's just outside the firearms station, and we'll set off in half an hour."

Xiao Letian responded, turned and left.

.....

Check in on the fourth day, don't rush!
