Xiao Letian has gradually adapted to his current life.
Ever since being brought to Taoyuan County by Mo Xiaohu, his horizons have been instantly brought to a whole new level.
There are all kinds of snack stalls on the street, full of the atmosphere of fireworks.
There are all kinds of eye-catching signs, flags, and "eye-catching" advertising slogans.
The most important thing is that the people of Taoyuan have a unique mental outlook. People walking on the streets look full of vitality and always seem very happy.
Although I live in the capital, but when you think about it, it can be said to be a "slum" in the capital.
The neighbors' eyes were dull and they exuded a lifeless feeling, which made people feel tired just by looking at them.
But these were nothing until Mo Xiaohu took him to the place where he could have tea.
Only now do you know what paradise on earth is!
After a brief moment of ecstasy, we went to the firearms department and were assigned dormitories first.
Although the firearms station is far away from the prosperous area of the county, the accommodation allocated there is excellent. Each person has a small courtyard, and more importantly, food and accommodation are free of charge!
This day was a pleasant surprise for him.
However, their joy did not last long, as Mo Xiaohu informed them of the so-called "project".
Create a ball that can fly and be controlled in the sky, a hot air balloon!
In Xiao Letian's eyes, this was nothing more than a fantasy, and the other students who came with him also thought so.
Except for the people in Taoyuan County, they firmly believe that it can be built.
For several days after that...there was no progress on the so-called hot air balloon that could fly.
Not only is there no progress, but suddenly there appears a Mr. Li who is jumping around all day and giving orders everywhere...
Mo Xiaohu just grabbed his hair and stared at an old, torn yellow paper with blurred words on it, turning it over and over again.
Due to his face, he was too embarrassed to ask Mr. Fang again, otherwise he would appear incompetent.
Xiao Letian was also curious about the contents of the paper and went to ask in person.
The answer he got was the few words that Principal Fang had left behind...but he couldn't remember them clearly. There were only vague words like "heat rising" written on the torn documents.
There was no progress within a few days, and the mood of the several students selected by Dongjiao University gradually became gloomy.
We all went to college to learn technology, but we chose to do this impossible flying ball thing that we had no idea how to do!
Then what’s the difference between me and those alchemists who deceive people by making elixirs!
On the other hand, Taoyuan County is a world of pleasure and debauchery, and after visiting a brothel once, people want to go again, which makes some people feel itchy.
However, Mo Xiaohu has experience in dealing with this kind of situation!
I just found a place, asked a few people to go to the women's restroom to pick up feces after get off work, and the desire subsided after a few days.
Things didn't change until the restless Mr. Li publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the research and development progress.
After he said that, Mo Xiaohu couldn't hold it anymore. Firstly, he knew the prince's identity even though others didn't know it. Secondly, it wasn't a good idea to figure it out based on just a few words.
So a letter was sent directly to the capital.
But even after writing to Fang Zhengyi for help, the freshmen from Dongjiao University still lacked confidence, and the same was true for Xiao Letian.
But on the next day, a miracle happened!
A reply letter and a [Zhengyi Lantern] were delivered directly from the capital by express horse!
A frame made of bamboo strips, covered with white paper on the outside, and a strange lamp with a base filled with pine resin at the bottom.
When a lamp was lit, it actually floated up to the sky!
At this moment, the morale of the army was boosted! Everyone was filled with hope!
Fang Zhengyi's image unconsciously added a mysterious aura to everyone's hearts.
The figure is getting taller and taller...
More importantly, the reply letter from the capital also contained the key points of making hot air balloons. With the help of Zhengyideng, Mo Xiaohu instantly had a plan in his mind.
Now that the breakthrough has been made, the subsequent manufacturing and debugging work has begun in full swing.
Mo Xiaohu is experienced and knows that it is not as simple as just enlarging the proportion.
All materials and shapes have to be redesigned before they can be used.
So they found a lot of carpenters and blacksmiths in the county to work together.
In just a few days, the basic design and materials were all ready.
Xiao Letian was only responsible for taking notes, recording the parameters and uses of each piece of material, as well as the subsequent experimental results.
The others just worked as coolies.
After several days and two failures, the hot air balloon did not take off.
Although the sphere on the top was inflated, it failed to take off successfully due to poor stitching technology or materials.
At this time, Xiao Letian was not discouraged. Instead, he felt an extraordinary, indescribable sense of fulfillment in his heart.
This is different from studying... When he was memorizing, he never knew what he was going to do, or what was the point of reading. He only had one goal, which was the goal he had been told by others since he was a child, and that was just to pass exams, get promoted, and make money.
Although the manufacture of the hot air balloon has failed, we have seen such a thing being created from nothing.
It brings him a sense of accomplishment and a clear sense of purpose. Every number and every record in his hand can be clearly seen as for the next step of progress!
On this day, the third test flight began!
Xiao Letian remained excited as always, waiting for the hot air balloon to take off.
"Ignite!" Mo Xiaohu gave the order.
The hot air balloon slowly inflated from its deflated state, and after a while, the thick hemp rope that bound the hot air balloon basket actually moved!
Xiao Letian stared at the hot air balloon with fanatical eyes, his hands moving constantly.
