As time passed, the desolate wilderness passed by rapidly under the horses' hooves, and the prosperity of Chang'an City gradually faded away and was swallowed up by the vast horizon.
However, Li Shimin's determination became stronger and stronger during this long pursuit, as unshakable as a rock.
The afterglow of the setting sun spread across the earth, stretching their shadows into long ones, as if they were racing against time.
The clouds in the sky seemed to be ignited, blooming into a gorgeous sunset, reflecting the light of hope flashing in Li Shimin's eyes.
Finally, at the end of the sight, the slowly descending black dot became clearer and clearer.
The hot air balloon! It was the goal they had been pursuing, carrying Li Shimin’s deepest concerns and expectations.
"Hurry! It's just ahead!" Li Shimin waved his arms, his voice revealing indescribable excitement.
The guards behind him followed closely, their eyes also burning with fighting spirit.
The horses galloped and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
The scene of the hot air balloon slowly descending gradually magnified in their eyes, as if a warm picture was slowly unfolding.
When Li Shimin finally stood next to the hot air balloon and watched Guanyinbi and the two legitimate princesses walk out of the basket safely, the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
An indescribable joy and excitement surged in my heart, turning into tears glistening in my eyes.
…
At this moment, Li Haoze has comfortably returned to modern life, lying comfortably on his newly bought ergonomic massage computer chair.
While leisurely eating melon seeds, typing on the computer, I enjoy the convenience and comfort of modern technology.
His eyes inadvertently swept across the secondary screen, and a happy smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth.
As his soul connection with the little princess deepened, the time Li Haoze could possess the Tang Dynasty world had increased to three hours a day.
But every time the time came, he still had to pull himself away from the warm embrace of Empress Changsun and return to the modern world.
However, Li Haoze's worries did not diminish.
He still watched them quietly through the computer screen.
At this moment, seeing that they were safe and sound on the screen, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy stone in his heart fell to the ground.
I started typing on my newly bought computer with peace of mind.
By the way, when he first bought a new computer, Li Haoze was worried that Princess Yunyang’s system would only appear on his old computer.
And it will disappear one day when the old computer breaks down.
However, the moment he turned on his new computer, all his worries vanished.
Because the little princess's familiar and cute avatar still appears on the desktop of the new computer as usual.
One night, he unexpectedly discovered that Cheng Jingyi could neither see the icon of the little princess's avatar nor watch the live broadcast of the Tang Dynasty.
This discovery made Li Haoze suddenly realize that the system had been bound to him for a long time, and the computer was just a display platform for him to view and operate.
“Crackle… crackle…”
Perhaps because he was in a particularly good mood, Li Haoze was full of inspiration at the moment.
I coded several chapters in a short period of time and easily completed tomorrow's update task.
I just plan to rest my brain and play some games first.
As a result, as soon as I opened my phone, I saw the latest news push: "Shocking! Hot air balloons were invented during the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Haoze clicked on it casually, and the content of the news was indeed not beyond his expectations.
It details a recent archaeological discovery in which researchers found physical evidence related to hot air balloons at the Tang Dynasty ruins.
This discovery greatly advanced the history of the invention of the hot air balloon and caused a sensation in the academic community.
The article also includes several blurry photos of the archaeological site and a restored hot air balloon drawing.
Although a little vague, it is enough to arouse people's curiosity and imagination.
However, when Li Haoze saw the archaeological excavation site below, he was surprised to find that
This address is not in the country, but in modern Annan.
This discovery is very intriguing and also confirms the rapid development of hot air balloons in the Tang Dynasty after their appearance.
Of course, all this is not the point. The point is the epitaph unearthed from this ancient tomb.
It clearly records that the first hot air balloon flight in human history took place in the autumn of the sixth year of Zhenguan.
And the most important thing is that it also records that the hot air balloon that made its maiden flight is called the "Mingda" hot air balloon.
It was invented by Li Mingda, Princess Jinyang, one of the most honorable princesses in the Tang Dynasty at that time.
He also carried out the first flight in human history together with Empress Changsun and Princess Changle Li Lizhi.
As for the two craftsmen who took off the hot air balloon for the first time, there was not a single mention of them in the epitaph.
By the way, the epitaph also details the grand spectacle of the hot air balloon launching that day, as well as dozens of impromptu poems composed by the tomb owner and his friends.
He also claimed that it was from that moment that he fell in love with hot air ballooning and vowed to measure the territory of the Tang Dynasty by riding a hot air balloon.
The bizarre content in this news report has undoubtedly once again caused an uproar and widespread discussion across the entire Internet and even the world.
"The Tang Dynasty already had steamships, and now there's a hot air balloon. Seems reasonable, right?" is the comment with the most likes under the news.
"You above are stupid! Didn't you notice that the time mentioned above is the sixth year of Zhenguan? Princess Jinyang seemed to be a little over one year old that year, right?"
"A child over one year old can invent a hot air balloon? This is simply a fantasy!" Someone immediately expressed disbelief.
"But that's what the news said, and there's even an epitaph to prove it. Is all this fake?" another netizen questioned.
"Perhaps people in later generations deliberately fabricated these deeds in order to elevate Princess Jinyang's status?" Some people speculated.
"I find this very strange. How could a one-year-old child have such wisdom and ability?
There must be someone behind this who's directing this." A conspiracy theorist expressed his opinion.
However, some people hold a different view: "Don't forget that child prodigies did exist in history. Perhaps Princess Jinyang was such a genius!"
“Perhaps this hot air balloon was not invented by Princess Jinyang alone, but was the result of a collaborative effort by people around her.
It's just that for some reason, later generations only remember Princess Jinyang's name." Such voices also appeared in the comment section.
There are many different opinions and speculations in the comment section.
As an insider who knew the inside story, Li Haoze couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw these comments, some serious and some joking.
These netizens would never have imagined that the mastermind behind the hot air balloon appearing in the Tang Dynasty was actually sitting in front of the computer like them, witnessing their amazement and speculation.
