Zhu Fufu is a refugee!

When the family came to Chang'an City with their wife, son, and an old mother, they happened to be looking for workers in the briquette workshop of the Prince of Chu. Zhu Fufu was lucky enough to become one of the first batch of workers in the briquette workshop.

The days in the briquette workshop were the happiest days in Zhu Fuyu's life.

As long as you work hard, you can have a full stomach, and you can feed your whole family. This has never happened before.

Even though the word "future" is in his name, Zhu Fuyu has been inseparable from Fuyu since he was a child. Zhu Fuyu even doesn't even know what it feels like to be full.

However, since arriving at the briquette workshop, as long as you don't waste it, you can have enough biscuits and occasionally pork meat.

This made Zhu Fuyu feel like he was in heaven on earth.

"Son, you need to know who is our family's benefactor. As a human being, you must repay your kindness."

A while ago, Xue Li went to the briquette workshop to recruit guards for the palace, and it was at that time that Zhu Fuyu entered the palace of the Prince of Chu.

If you want to go to Liangzhou City, you will naturally have to use up all the quota of 1,000 guards. People in this era are generally malnourished. On the contrary, they are helpers in the briquette workshop. After a period of hard work, they have become stronger.

stand up.

If you can eat well and exercise, it would be strange if you are not strong.

So the first thing Li Kuan thought of was to recruit workers from workshops to fill up the security force.

Although these people may not necessarily know how to wield swords or guns, let alone the art of war, they are more loyal, honest, simple, and physically strong, so they are actually a very good source of soldiers.

"Mom, don't worry. Once I enter the palace, as long as I am still alive, I will never let the prince lose a hair."

Zhu Fufu looked at the bottles and cans in the wooden shed with nostalgia.

The things were all worthless, and the wooden shed was not a mansion, but could barely be regarded as a temporary residence; but Zhu Fuyu was very satisfied.

"Dad, don't worry. I will take care of your family, so you can go to the palace to serve in peace."

After Zhu Fufu entered the palace, Xue Li personally led them to practice.

Today Xue Li followed Li Kuan to watch the so-called "hot air balloon" test flight. As a guard who performed well in training, Zhu Fuyu also followed Xue Li.

So when everyone worried about the risks of the hot air balloon and refused to let Li Kuan ride on it, Zhu Fufu immediately volunteered.

"Zhu Fuyu! This heater is no better than climbing a tree. I can't tell you what it will be like when you go up." Xue Li glanced at Zhu Fuyu tangledly. Although he was still worried in his heart, he was inclined to agree.

.

Zhu Fuyu didn't waste any time and climbed into the hanging basket in three clicks.

Li Kuan glanced at Zhu Fuyu with admiration and asked the craftsmen inside to prepare for takeoff.

Hot air balloons are very safe spacecraft. Although the thing in front of him is a bit primitive, it is not too risky. Li Kuan is fully aware of this.

Later, when traveling to Türkiye, he took two hot air balloon rides.

It was a little scary at first, but once you get used to it, there's nothing to be afraid of.

"ignition!"

Li Kuan gave the order, and without saying a word, Dai Quan opened the valve and ignited the special kerosene.

As the most skilled craftsman in the Chu Palace, Li Kuan was directing the hot air balloon from beginning to end and Dai Quan was doing it.

It was a test flight today, and Dai Quan was also responsible for driving it himself.

Speaking of this hot air balloon, we have to thank the broken system. Otherwise, if parts such as valves, which require relatively high steel materials, are not made using special steel exchanged by the system, the quality will be worrying.

Once it goes to the sky and quality problems occur, it will be fatal.

As the flames grew bigger and bigger, the balloon slowly expanded. Everyone around them held their breath and stared intently, wanting to witness whether this hot air balloon could really take people to the sky.

Chinese people have fantasized about ascending to heaven since ancient times. Stories such as Chang'e flying to the moon all tell their curiosity about "heaven".

But for thousands of years, no one has ever succeeded. Even emperors like Qin Shihuang have spent a lot of manpower and material resources, but they have not found a way to ascend to heaven.

Can Li Kuan succeed?

"It's moving! The hanging basket is moving!"

I don’t know who couldn’t help shouting.

I saw that driven by the balloon, the hanging basket had begun to rise slowly.

It was not obvious at first, but after just a few breaths, the rise became obvious.

The bottom of the hanging basket has been lifted off the ground and one person has reached it.

"Xuanwu, watch the cable and relax slowly!"

Seeing the hot air balloon take off smoothly, Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this thing is not high-tech, it is still very challenging to come up with it in the era of Datang, but fortunately it is off to a good start.

Considering that it was the first test flight, no one was able to operate the hot air balloon skillfully, and it was even more difficult to control the direction and height, so Li Kuan simply tied a cable hundreds of meters long to the gondola.

At that time, even if Dai Quan cannot control the hot air balloon to land smoothly, he will be able to pull them back from the sky through the cable.

Li Kuan doesn't want his eighth-level worker to turn into a pile of rotten meat!

That’s right!

As the most skilled craftsman in the palace, Dai Quan is really at the level of an eighth-level craftsman in later generations. All parts are made entirely with one hand. He has never heard of lathes, punches, etc.

"Your Majesty, this...is this hot air balloon really flying?" Laifu stared at the rising hot air balloon in stunned silence, unable to figure out the reason.

"Immortal magic, this is fairy magic. My lord, you know how to do magic." Qing'er's reaction was not much better.

"With this hot air balloon, if it is released on the battlefield, the enemy's military formations will be clearly visible, and you will not be afraid of enemy sneak attacks. It is really a good thing." Xue Li was the first to think of how to use the hot air balloon.

Used on the battlefield, he is indeed a general's material.

"Your Majesty is still smart. The sky lantern can carry a hanging basket into the sky. This hot air balloon is actually like an enlarged sky lantern. It seems normal that it can carry heavier things into the sky." Wang Xuance looked at the sky.

The heater turned higher and higher, and his face was filled with emotion.

I am not with the wrong master. With such a smart and noble master, I will not worry about having no chance to get ahead in this life.

"Well, it seems that the hot air balloon is ready. If it lands smoothly again, it will be ready for large-scale production. Before going to Liangzhou, we have to prepare dozens of hot air balloons."

Seeing the performance of the hot air balloon in front of him, Li Kuan became more confident in his plan.

Is it too much to adopt such a dimensionality reduction method to deal with the Western Turks?

Li Kuan couldn't help but come up with such an idea.

However, soon, he stopped thinking about these strange things.
