Ah Dong is indeed fine, he was just a little frightened.
Gu Nian wasn't interested in kites, but she was interested in the cushion.
This thing looks a bit like an inflatable one!
Li Muyan is awesome!
To think that they could come up with this, the material they used must contain some leather.
"Yes, yes, we can try it again next time when it's windy!" Li Muyan was so excited that he almost stood up.
“Li Muyan, have you ever thought about flying without using ropes or human strength? It would be more convenient without ropes.” Gu Nian circled the soft cushion, examined the material of the large kite, thought for a moment, and then said.
"No rope needed?" Li Muyan frowned.
“Yes! The material of your kite will do, really, you have to believe me. But you’ll have to test it yourself once your leg is healed! Find a big mountain, jump off, you have some light-footed skills anyway,” Gu Nian said.
"Gu Nian, I have reason to suspect you're telling me to die!" Li Muyan rolled his eyes at her.
“Really, I’m not lying to you. You make big kites and stuff because you want to experience the feeling of flying, right? You want to fly by yourself, without using any special skills, you want to soar high, right? This material is really good, but don’t make it in the shape of a kite. I’ll draw a shape for you, and you can figure it out yourself!” Gu Nian said seriously.
"Really?" Li Muyan still felt that Gu Nian wanted him dead.
“Really. Anyway, I’ll draw it for you, and you can figure it out yourself. I’ve heard people say that there are acrobats in Jiangnan who can fall from a height with an umbrella and land steadily. They don’t have kung fu skills or light-body techniques; they’re just very agile,” Gu Nian added.
"Alright, come to my study and draw it for me!" Li Muyan nodded with some skepticism.
Li Muyan's study was very large, equivalent to the combined area of several rooms in the Gu family's house.
There were many trinkets inside, but Gu Xin and Gu Si couldn't even take a look at them.
"Xinxin, Sisi, look at this puppy. If you turn it like this, it can walk on its own!" Seeing Gu Xin and Gu Si's eyes full of curiosity, Li Han took a small trinket from the display shelf.
I turned it around and put it on the ground, and sure enough, the puppy walked away on its own.
"Wow!" the two sisters couldn't help but exclaim.
Gu Nian also looked over. Wow, this kid has even learned how to wind up a toy!
The two sisters squatted down together and played with the puppy.
Gu Nian sat down and drew a parachute design for Li Muyan. She didn't say anything else. If she said too much, someone as inquisitive as Li Muyan would keep asking questions until she found out the truth.
“Gu Nian, I’ve been thinking about something before. Kongming lanterns can fly into the sky when lit, so could we make a big one and send a person flying into the sky?” Li Muyan asked suddenly, looking at the parachute drawn by Gu Nian.
Gu Nian was taken aback. Wasn't that a hot air balloon?
This kid's got a really sharp mind!
"Do you know why Kongming lanterns can fly into the sky?" Gu Nian asked.
“Because it’s on fire! I feel that this is the same principle as wood floating in water and iron sinking in water! The relationship between wood, iron and water should be like the difference between the air with fire and the air without fire!” Li Mu said.
Gu Nian raised an eyebrow. "Young man, not bad. Keep going, and you'll be able to figure out things like density, mass, and volume."
Moreover, Li Muyan's explanation is plausible. Kongming lanterns do indeed rise because the air density inside the lantern decreases when the fire is lit, thus reducing the gas's gravity. When gravity is less than buoyancy, wouldn't that cause it to ascend?
