Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 490 Gambling
Liu honesty’s husband was seriously ill. In the afternoon, he received a letter and led his three sons to Yue’s house in Lantian County. He didn’t care about Zhuangzili. Fang Jun had to give up, coax Princess Jinyang to sleep, and promised to start researching how to do it tomorrow. The matter of flying to the sky, but naturally, it is necessary to tell a story to the little princess...

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Liu Honshi, who rushed back, heard that Erlang had something to do with him, so he came to see him early, and when he arrived at the door of the study, he happened to meet Wang Erxiao.When the two entered the study, they saw Fang Jun handing over a stack of blueprints from the bookcase. Liu honestly got excited, and took it respectfully with trembling hands.

Nowadays, Fang Jun's study has almost become the most important place in Zhuangzi. Wu Meiniang told the guards and servants and maids in Zhuangzi, and she must not approach the study at all times.

Those who were able to enter and leave the study were only a few people in the entire village, including Wu Meiniang, Lu Cheng, Liu Laoshi, and Wang Erxiao, not even Fang Jun's personal maids, Qiao'er and Zheng Xiu'er.

These people all understand the value of Fang Jun's every "wonderful idea", so as a study that collects some of Fang Jun's drawings, it is naturally the top priority.

Liu Laoshi and Wang Erxiao got together, head to head, flipping through the blueprints in their hands, the more they looked, the more confused they became...

Oval wooden skeleton, thick cloth of the same shape, wicker basket, round stove, bellows...

What the hell is this?

The two mechanics under Fang Jun's face were bewildered, and it was not until they turned to the assembly diagram at the back that they figured out the doorway.

Is it a big lantern?

Don't complain that these two are rare and strange, it is true that there was no such thing as balloons in the Tang Dynasty, so the two of them used hot air balloons as big lanterns.If it's not a lantern, why should it be lit?
"Is it difficult to make this thing?" Fang Jun asked when he saw the two looking at the drawings.

"I don't know what Erlang can ask for?" Liu honestly was a little more cautious and thought about questions more thoroughly.

"Requirements?" Fang Jun thought for a while, and it seemed that there was nothing missing, and then said: "The only point, no matter which part, exquisite and beautiful is secondary, the most important point, must be as strong as possible! Ben Lang! You don't want to fly to the sky, or the rope breaks or the sphere cracks, and it falls directly and falls into meat sauce!"

He himself can say that if he throws Princess Jinyang for good or bad, he can blame himself to death without His Majesty Li Er to take care of him!

But there is no big problem in thinking about it. Although the quality of materials in this era is not very good, his requirements are not high. He doesn't need to fly very high, as long as he can be a few meters off the ground.

He wasn't crazy enough to want to rely on a hot air balloon made of primitive materials of this era to fly over the Great Wall or something...

"Flying...flying to the sky?" Wang Er's small eyes stared like copper bells, thinking that he had auditory hallucinations due to tinnitus.

When it comes to the power of association between these two people, Liu Honest is better.

Liu honestly looked at the blueprint carefully, and asked, "Erlang, this big ball... how does it look like a huge Kongming lantern?"

Fang Jun patted his thigh, and Chong Liu honestly extended his thumb: "Correct answer! This is a huge Kongming lantern, but I call him a hot air balloon."

Liu honestly scratched his head: "Would Erlang want to sit on this thing and fly to the sky? That's not possible, I've never heard of a Kongming lantern that can take people to the sky, even if it's a few hundred times bigger... Huh? Not right? The buoyancy of a small kongming lantern can carry small things to the sky, so it stands to reason that this kongming lantern which is countless times larger... a hot air balloon can indeed be countless times larger than the buoyancy of a kongming lantern, and naturally it can carry bigger things to the sky !"

Subconsciously looked at Wang Xiaoer, both of them were a little shocked.

Erlang's head looks so good!
In theory, it is indeed possible!
But why throughout the ages, no one has thought about expanding the Kongming lantern countless times and taking people to the sky?

Wang Xiaoer was convinced: "Erlang, you are really a Wenqu star in the sky, you can't imagine how big your head is!"

Fang Jun's face is a little dark...

You are not human!
However, there is no reason to talk to this iron-clad rammer, people are praising him in their hearts!

"Okay, okay, hurry up and prepare. If you are short of materials, let the housekeeper buy it. No matter how much it costs, you can make it for someone as soon as possible. But remember, you can't cut corners, you can't be vague, and you must strive for excellence in every link. !"

Safety is the top priority!It is not an exaggeration to ask several times.

The two "senior technicians" nodded sharply, indicating that they remembered.

Just at this moment, Li Tai walked in through the door.

I forgot to mention that since the king of Wei came to Zhuangzi in this study, he was the one who came in and out at will, and there was also Princess Jinyang.

No one can stop Li Tai, and no one can stop Princess Jinyang...

Li Tai was naturally aware of Fang Jun's attainment in the skills of strange lewdness. As soon as he saw this posture, he immediately understood that Fang Jun should have researched something new. He grabbed the blueprint in Liu Laoshi's hand and sat down. On the chair, look through one by one.

Liu honestly blushed. Although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to turn his face. He glanced at Fang Jun and saw that his Erlang was not unhappy, so just shut up.

"Hey...is this a Kongming lantern?"

I have to say that Li Tai has a really good brain. No wonder she is a good student and has the name of a genius. Just a glance, you can see the clue of this hot air balloon.

"I said, Fang Er," Li Tai applied looking at Fang Jun strangely, and raised the blueprint in his hand: "Don't you want to be a Kongming lantern and fulfill your promise to Sizi?"

Fang Jun ignored him: "Why not?"

"Oh...wow, hahaha..." Li Tai laughed so hard that his stomach cramped, and panted, "You are so naive! Do you think that if you use it a hundred times more than ordinary Kongming lanterns, you can Take something a hundred times heavier to the sky?"

Fang Jun raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it possible?"

"Oh mother, I'm laughing to death..." Li Tai finally stopped laughing, pointed to Fang Jun and said, "Is your kid's brain broken? A person weighs hundreds of pounds, and you expect Kong Mingdeng to lead him. God?"

This does not mean that Li Tai is ignorant of knowledge, only that he has little knowledge.

How could something as simple as a Kongming lantern take a person to the sky?This is an inherent impression in the minds of people of this era.

Natural science is all about showing miracles where people thought impossible.

In contrast, Liu Laoshi and Wang Erxiao, who have accepted Fang Jun's always turning the rotten into magic, have steadily surpassed the quick-witted Li Tai in terms of knowledge.

Fang Jun had an idea: "How about... Your Highness, how about a bet?"

"How to bet?"

"Just bet on whether this Kongming lantern can take people to the sky. If it can, it is natural that Wei Chen will win. If not, then His Highness will win. How about it?"

Li Tai rolled his eyes: "Then you have to add some color, otherwise how boring?"

"Your Highness, what advice do you have?" Fang Jun said as a matter of course.

"This... money is a common thing, but this thing is really attractive, and the stake is ten thousand. I wonder what Erlang thinks?"

"It's a promise! Half a month later, on the open field of the back mountain of Mount Li, the experiment will be held!"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

Li Tai and Fang Jun agreed to high-five and left happily.

Fang Jun took a strange look at Li Tai's fat figure, a little strange, is this guy so confident that his hot air balloon can't fly?
What are you doing so happy? It's weird...

Don't care, can't you make a hot air balloon with your college-level physics level?

"Did you two see it? Ten thousand! Do it well for me. If you win, you will be rewarded. If you lose, you will buy both of you to pay off your debts!" ​​Fang Jun said viciously.

"Nuo!" Liu honestly and Wang Erxiao's natural way, Erlang, were really joking, but they were secretly ruthless. It could be seen that Erlang was quite at odds with His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and Erlang must not be disgraced in front of King Wei!

The two of them said goodbye together and went back to prepare the parts for their own business.

Li Tai returned to his residence excitedly, called his cronies over, and quickly wrote a stack of invitations on the desk, and ordered: "Send these invitations out quickly, if it is full for a while, it will delay this king's fortune, and you nice!"

"No!" The cronie was frightened, took the invitation, and ran out in a hurry.

Li Tai touched his bare chin and laughed proudly.

Fang Er, Fang Er, do you think you cheated on me, Li Tai?
