Flying is a dream that has existed for mankind since ancient times.
Whether they are gods in myths and legends or heroic figures in history, they have all longed for the sky and hoped to fly freely like birds.
And now, this dream is right in front of her and is about to become a reality. How can Li Lizhi not be excited?
"Of course it's true," Li Haoze said with a smile, his tone full of confidence.
"Once I build the hot air balloon, I'll personally take you and my mother up to the sky. Let's soar above the nine heavens and see the vastness of the world!"
Empress Changsun was also very excited when she heard this, "Little Rangjun, you are indeed my sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket. Come, give me a kiss~"
From that night on, Li Haoze suddenly found his goal.
He began to gather extensive expertise on hot air balloons and parachutes in the modern world.
At the same time, he spared no expense in hiring industry experts to teach him how to make and operate these flight equipment.
Li Haoze was very thoughtful. He not only paid attention to the production of the hot air balloon, but also started preparing the parachute.
After all, in the Tang Dynasty, the safety of the newly manufactured hot air balloons has yet to be verified.
To ensure that everything went well, he prepared double insurance.
Not only was the parachute developed as an escape device in emergency situations.
I also learned skydiving techniques just in case.
On the other hand, he also tempted the hardworking little princess with delicious food.
Let her bring the relevant professional knowledge about these two items to the Tang Dynasty.
He also ordered the craftsmen in charge to carefully make hot air balloons and parachutes according to the information he brought.
He often possesses the little princess's body and goes to the workshop to supervise the work in person, ensuring that every piece of equipment is refined and impeccable.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
In these short but fulfilling days.
Li Haoze is like a hardworking little bee, shuttling between the modern times and the Tang Dynasty, busy and orderly advancing his flying plan.
In the modern world, he worked closely with experts, repeatedly discussed and continuously improved the design of hot air balloons and parachutes.
He personally selects the materials and oversees the production process, ensuring that each piece of equipment meets his exacting requirements.
At the same time, he also took the time to learn more flight knowledge and emergency handling skills to be fully prepared for the upcoming flight trip.
In the Tang Dynasty, the little princess became his capable assistant and mouthpiece.
She passed on Li Haoze's modern knowledge to the craftsmen in charge of the production, helping them understand and master these advanced techniques.
In the workshop, the little princess often appears.
Following Li Haoze's instructions, she carefully checked the production progress and quality of each piece of equipment.
Finally, on a clear autumn morning, cheers were heard from the prison.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the craftsmen, the research and manufacturing of hot air balloons and parachutes were successfully completed.
The last step was successfully completed, and after preliminary monitoring by the "Little Princess", both pieces of equipment have been confirmed to be able to be used normally.
This good news spread like wildfire in the palace, causing a great sensation.
When Li Shimin learned about it, he was very pleased and immediately summoned all the officials to go to the Ministry of Works to take a look at this unprecedented flying artifact.
Empress Changsun and Li Lizhi were extremely excited and arrived at the Ministry of Works early, looking forward to the miracle that was about to happen.
With the arrival of Li Shimin, the atmosphere inside and outside the Imperial Household Department suddenly became lively.
Hundreds of officials surrounded the emperor, discussions arose one after another, and everyone's face was filled with surprise and anticipation.
"Is this what they call a hot air balloon? It's really spectacular!"
Surrounded by the crowd, Li Shimin walked to the hot air balloon and looked carefully at the huge object in front of him.
It turned out that just now, in order to test the sealing of the hot air balloon, Li Haoze had already ordered the craftsmen to ignite the burner under the hot air balloon.
At this moment, the hot air balloon has been fully inflated and is suspended above the ground, like a huge gray-white bubble, which is extremely spectacular.
Yes, it is off-white.
The conditions in the Tang Dynasty were limited, so Li Haoze deliberately chose materials that the Tang Dynasty could obtain to make hot air balloons.
The outer shell of the hot air balloon is made of specially treated thick mulberry paper.
This paper is tough and has been proven through numerous tests to be able to withstand high temperatures and changes in air pressure.
In order to enhance the durability and stability of the hot air balloon, a thin layer of tung oil is carefully applied on the mulberry paper.
This will both make it waterproof and increase the strength of the paper.
The interior of the hot air balloon is made of a mesh structure woven from fine hemp ropes, which were produced in abundance in the Tang Dynasty, to support the entire sphere and ensure its stability during the ascent.
This hemp rope is soaked in oil multiple times to make it tough and fire-resistant, making it ideal for the internal structure of hot air balloons.
In order to make the hot air balloon burner, Li Haoze specially built a modern blast furnace in Datang to make the fine iron burner.
This fine iron burner is not only resistant to high temperatures, but can also evenly transfer heat to the air inside the hot air balloon, ensuring that the hot air balloon can take off smoothly.
Looking at this hot air balloon made of local Tang Dynasty materials, Li Shimin and all the officials were amazed.
They were impressed by Li Haoze's talent and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, and were even more excited about the flying era that was about to come in the Tang Dynasty.
"Little divine beast, can this hot air balloon really take us into the sky?" Li Shimin looked at the huge creature in front of him, his tone full of anticipation.
