Chapter 75 Hot Air Balloon Takeoff
After figuring it out, Jun Mo waved his hand and led more than a hundred weapons inspectors of the Yulin Army to Yu Jiuer.
Under Yu Jiuer's astonished gaze, he said coldly: "What are you standing there for? Didn't you say you were going to make a balloon and fly it into the sky?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yu Jiuer's face was full of light. She quickly wiped the mud on her clothes and jumped up from the ground.
"Thank you, Your Highness! This hot air balloon is more stable than a paraglider, does not require terrain elevation differences, and does not require high wind direction and wind speed. It is really a great treasure for carrying people and goods! Your Highness is so supportive, I will definitely not let you down!"
Yu Jiuer bowed and bowed deeply. If she hadn't taken his status as a prince into consideration, she would have wanted to give him a big hug to thank him for being so supportive.
"If you can't come to any conclusion in the end, I will punish you!" Jun Mo remained cool on the surface, but a smile appeared in his eyes.
Yu Jiuer solemnly issued a military order: "Make sure you don't let the prince down. If you can't do it, I will eat it!"
When she was studying for her master's degree, she even interned at a hot air balloon factory! As an environmentalist, who doesn't know about hot air balloons?
"Yes! Your Majesty! Just wait and see! I'll give you a big surprise!"
With Jun Mo's big team, Yu Jiuer became more and more adept at making hot air balloons.
The common people, prisoners and Yulin soldiers were all very surprised to hear that the county magistrate was going to make something that could fly into the sky, and they discussed the matter privately.
The people said, "Our Lord is the most powerful person in the world. If she said she can carry people to the sky, then she can do it!"
The people of Yinshan County naturally trusted Yu Jiuer 100%, but many prisoners and Yulin soldiers raised doubts:
"I've never heard of such a miraculous thing, except in strange stories! If you can really fly to the sky, wouldn't you be a god? I don't believe it!"
These words made the people feel very uncomfortable!
Wang Meng argued with them, and finally, with his face flushed, he shouted: "If you don't believe me, we can make a bet!"
"Place a bet?" The eyes of the Yulin Army suddenly lit up. They had followed the prince in his campaigns and came all the way from the capital. They didn't believe that they could lose to this group of Yinshan mud legs that were looked down upon by the whole world?
They thought it was a sure win, so they bet all their money on it: "Great! We bet the hot air balloon can't fly!"
They really didn't believe this thing that hadn't been heard of in thousands of years!
So, on one side was Yu Jiuer's Yinshan people fan club, and on the other side was the Yulin Army who claimed to have seen the world, and the two sides placed bets and competed.
The people received the wages that Yu Jiuer forced them to pay this month, and they paid it all. They could not lose their momentum, not to mention that they always believed in their county magistrate.
Some prisoners received rewards this month for their good performance, but they were hesitant and had not yet decided who to bet on to win!
The prisoners who have no money are happy to be spectators.
Jun Mo and Yu Jiuer had no idea that there was a buzz outside about whether the hot air balloon could fly. They were busy setting up a temporary laboratory and diving into the development of the hot air balloon.
Jun Mo had an eager anticipation for Yu Jiuer's creative ideas, and this time he followed Yu Jiuer step by step to make the product, just like when they made the paraglider together on the coast of the Western Regions that day, their tacit understanding only increased!
Serious people will unconsciously exude charming charm, and Yu Jiuer is no exception.
Jun Mo suddenly felt that even though he tried hard to restrain himself, he was still attracted to her unconsciously.
I really don't know if my decision to treat him as a confidant was wrong, but he just wanted to secretly relieve a little pressure!
When Yu Jiuer gets serious about her work, she often forgets to eat and sleep. Jun Mo always snatches the work from her hands when she looks tired and orders her to lie down on the temporary rest couch next to the laboratory to rest.
For this reason, Yu Jiuer had many complaints in her heart. The production progress had finally gotten better, but she couldn't stop at all!
However, Jun Mo was stubborn and said with a stern face: "If you die of exhaustion, I will have to collect your body for you. Trouble!"
Yu Jiuer was very unhappy. She was working hard on the research and development when she was suddenly ordered to stop. She was already unhappy, and now she was even cursed to die suddenly?
If it weren't for the fact that he was willing to let her do what she wanted, and would forge iron when she told him to, pull the rope when she told him to, and spread the tarpaulin when she told him to, and if it weren't for the fact that he was more obedient than a dog, she really wanted to punch him.
After half a month of hard work, the hot air balloon was finally completed!
On the day of the test flight, everyone who could breathe in Yinshan County was alarmed!
The most spacious open space in front of the dormitory building was filled with people.
Everyone is enthusiastic and full of anticipation!
Yu Jiuer simply gave them half a day off, and everyone came to watch the historic moment of the manned hot air balloon taking off!
As the fire grew bigger, the hot air balloon slowly inflated by the hot air.
Seeing the ball getting bigger and bigger, Yu Jiuer excitedly jumped into the basket under the hot air balloon, preparing to take off with great interest!
Jun Mo came in and grabbed her out: "What are you trying to do if you don't know Qinggong? Aren't you afraid of falling to death?"
Yu Jiuer was very confident: "How is that possible? I am very confident in the hot air balloon I made. It will definitely not fall!"
She has also participated in hot air balloon scientific research in modern times, okay?
"For the first test flight, I will go up there myself! You are not allowed to go!" As he said this, he stood steadily in the hanging basket with his hands on his hips, not letting Yu Jiuer get stuck to it at all!
Jian San selected two of the Yulin Army's best soldiers with the best martial arts skills, and jumped into the hanging basket with him to protect the prince!
Yu Jiuer just watched helplessly as the hot air balloon she had been working on for half a month slowly rose into the sky with others on board!
She glared at them with resentment. At this historic moment, she wanted to be the first one so that she could brag to her sons in the future: Your mother is the first person in this land to travel around the farm in a hot air balloon!
It’s a pity that someone got there first!
As the hot air balloon rose higher and higher, the people below cheered in shock:
"Wow! It's flying!"
"It's really amazing! It's incredible! It's incredible!"
"Your Excellency is truly amazing!"
……
The Yulin Army was so shocked that they couldn't hold their jaws up. Besides being shocked and excited, they couldn't help but feel sorry for their pockets.
Some of the prisoners bet on the Imperial Guards to win, and now they regretted it deeply. They worked hard for a month and tried their best to save up this little money, but it was gone before they could even warm it up.
The happiest people this time were the people of Yinshan, who were so excited that they couldn't close their mouths. A group of people watched the hot air balloon rise while enthusiastically dividing the money in front of them. They were even happier than receiving their wages. They didn't feel embarrassed at all, and they really got the true teachings of their county magistrate!
Some of them even dared to provoke and mock the Yulin Army: "I told you long ago that our county magistrate is omnipotent, but you just don't believe it, you deserve it!"
The Yulin Army was so sick of losing to this bunch of peasants!
Wei Zheng came over and saw his subordinates were so upset after losing. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "You losers! Our fate is in conflict with that county magistrate. If we get involved with him, we will get into trouble! I told you that if you don't listen, you will cry to death!"
Jian Yi held the sword, looked at the hot air balloon flying freely in the sky, and said with a serious face: "It's just a little change? Who cares?"
Jian Si poked his lungs unceremoniously: "Don't think I don't know, you've put your wife's money on the line!"
Wei Zheng clapped his hands and said, "It's over! Is there anyone in the Yulin Army who can still get married?"
Li Yun, the staff member beside him, pinched his goatee and said mysteriously: "It's hard to say! Who made us so lucky to marry such a shrewd and wise prince?"
"Do you have some inside information?" Upon hearing this, Wei Zheng's frustration disappeared. He knew this man very well, and the fact that he pinched his beard showed that he was confident!
Li Yun shook his head: "The secret cannot be leaked! Wait for the news!"
Wei Zheng couldn't wait any longer. The royal treasury was running low on silver, and the Yulin Army was about to starve. He couldn't possibly ask Concubine Duan for help, right?
He was already extremely anxious! These grandsons were pretending to be generous and betting?
Isn't this adding insult to injury?
