"Song Yingxing, come with me and see if you can offer any suggestions."
Song Yingxing nodded repeatedly.
Dr. Song Yingxing made numerous inventions and also extensively collected useful inventions from all over the world.
This person is extremely intelligent.
With Song Yingxing's help, Jiang Tian's path of technological development will surely become smoother and smoother.
Meanwhile, Qin Hongyu and the girls had already built a hot air balloon.
Li Guang and his craftsmen had already finished building a basket for a hot air balloon.
"My lord, what is this?"
"Hot air balloons work on a similar principle to Kongming lanterns, but I've placed a huge basket underneath each hot air balloon, so each balloon can carry seven or eight people."
The Xiongnu Chanyu now occupies a position in front of the sacred site for worshipping Heaven, with only a narrow, winding path leading to the mountaintop.
That place is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Our men couldn't break through.
I planned to have them fly up in a hot air balloon.
Upon hearing this, Song Yingxing immediately gave a thumbs up: "Sir, you are truly quick-witted and have a broad perspective. I admire you greatly."
"No need to admire me." Jiang Tian picked up a twig and began to sketch a hot air balloon on the ground.
Song Yingxing was an extremely intelligent man; he could see things clearly and understand them perfectly at a glance.
"Song Yingxing, I have an important task for you to do." Jiang Tian didn't draw the hot air balloon as a circle, but rather as an oval: "Song Yingxing, if we add a fan to the back of this hot air balloon, it will be able to propel it forward."
Song Yingxing nodded repeatedly.
"If a rudder is added to this hot air balloon, its direction can be controlled."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian nodded happily and asked, "Do you know anything about steam engines?"
"What is a steam engine?" Song Yingxing shook his head blankly. "My lord, please forgive my ignorance, but I have no idea what a steam engine is."
Jiang Tian drew a rough outline of a steam engine on the ground: "Boiling water drives the gears, generating power."
Upon hearing this, Song Yingxing suddenly realized: "My lord, this thing is not difficult."
"Just tell me what you need. If you need supplies, I'll give you supplies; if you need people, I'll give you people; if you need money, I'll give you money."
"promise……"
…………
The third day.
Huo Qubing, as usual, poured chili powder and Sichuan pepper powder into the firewood all at once.
The flames had just risen when several ladles of water were poured on them.
Soon, the flames died down and billowing black smoke rose into the sky.
The black smoke drifted upwards along the mountain road.
Every one or two hours over the past few days, Huo Qubing would release poisonous smoke up the mountain.
The Xiongnu people on the mountain were tormented to the point of near death.
They kept coughing, sneezing, blowing their noses, and having runny eyes.
Before the Huns could recover, thick black smoke rose again, quickly spreading across the mountaintop.
"Damn it, I'm never going to put up with this kind of bullshit again."
"Cough cough... cough cough..." Many of the Xiongnu people coughed so hard they could barely breathe, and they couldn't speak.
My throat hurt so badly it was unbearable.
"Cough cough... These people from Great Xia are endless. Any man would find it unbearable for them to act so recklessly."
"Cough cough..." Some of the Xiongnu almost coughed their lungs up. "Who wants to put up with this nonsense? Whoever wants to, I'm not going to. I'm going to fight them to the death!" King Zuoguli was furious.
“My brave warriors, follow me down the mountain! We will not tolerate this even if we die.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than King Zuoguli led several thousand Xiongnu cavalrymen down the mountain.
Neither the Xiongnu Chanyu nor the Grand Preceptor stopped them.
These guys have had enough.
Especially the Xiongnu national advisor, that guy was already old and decrepit.
The smoke from burning chili powder and Sichuan peppercorn powder caused the old imperial advisor unbearable pain.
Every time the Xiongnu national advisor coughed, he would almost faint, and someone had to keep patting his chest to help him recover.
The old Xiongnu chief advisor could no longer withstand such torment.
This old fellow was also hoping that someone would rush down the mountain and kill all the remaining Huo Qubing and his men.
Soon, countless arrows fell from the sky.
The boulder rolled rapidly down the mountain road.
Upon seeing this, Huo Qubing and his men immediately stepped aside, saying, "These Xiongnu people have finally had enough."
The centurions around Huo Qubing nodded repeatedly.
"General, don't talk about these things. The Xiongnu can't stand it, and even we who set off the smoke can't stand it."
"These Huns want to hide up there? No way!"
"Soldiers, someone is charging down! Prepare for battle!" Huo Qubing quickly mounted his horse.
These Huns rushed up to the mountainside, where the smoke was even thicker.
These people were coughing so hard they could barely breathe, and their eyes were red and swollen from the fumes.
These guys' eyes were so irritated they couldn't see anything.
Many people lost their footing and tumbled down the mountain path.
This mountain path was extremely steep, and the Xiongnu people could not slow down at all when they rolled down it.
A few minutes later, dozens of Xiongnu people were thrown to their deaths right in front of Huo Qubing and his men.
Seeing the Huns fall to the ground, their faces mangled and bloodied, Huo Qubing and his men were immediately alarmed.
More and more Huns rushed over.
"The warriors killed these Xia people."
"We must not allow them to act recklessly."
"These bastards all deserve to die."
