"Old farmer Lu Ding greets Young Master Mo and the three Young Masters!" Lu Ding cupped his hands and bowed.
"The person you're talking about is him!" Qin Huaiyu looked at Lu Ding in astonishment. Lu Ding was still dressed like an old farmer. When he spoke, his face was full of wrinkles. No matter how one looked at him, he looked like a farmer who had spent his entire life in the yellow soil with his back facing the sky. Moreover, he also called himself an old farmer.
"Young Master, if you're talking about other old farmers, they might not be able to do it. However, when it comes to sealing, this old farmer still has his family's unique skill." Lu Ding said confidently.
When Meton sent someone to invite Lu Ding over, he had already explained his intentions. Lu Ding knew what his job was?
"Alright, then I'll let you give it a try!" Qin Huaiyu could only make a Hail Mary effort. Moreover, Lu Ding was also recommended by Meton. In his heart, he had a bit more confidence in him.
With the addition of Lu Ding, the progress of the hot air balloon suddenly sped up a lot.
It had to be said that Lu Ding did indeed have a unique unique skill. After applying a few layers of glue on the cloth of the hot air balloon, not only did it not make the cloth stiff, but it also increased the flexibility of the cloth. Even the fire resistance was increased by a lot. At the very least, there were fewer incidents of water leakage.
That night, the first hot air balloon that was taller than a person successfully lifted off! Moreover, it smoothly lifted a five pound hanging basket.
"As long as this old farmer is given enough time, I will definitely be able to make the hot air balloon that Young Master wants!" Lu Ding patted his chest and guaranteed.
Meton looked at Lu Ding with a funny face. Although his craftsmanship was obviously exquisite, he still called himself an old farmer. However, every time this guy made all kinds of glue, he would keep it a secret by himself. He was honest and had the craftiness of a farmer.
"Good! As long as you can make it, this Young Master will not be stingy with rewards! "Qin Huaiyu looked at the small hot air balloon slowly rising into the sky and said excitedly.
Ever since the Mo Skills Exhibition, Qin Huaiyu had been deeply infatuated with the gazes of tens of thousands of people. Unfortunately, the reincarnation of the Overlord was only borrowing Meton's pulley and not his own skills. However, this hot air balloon was a masterpiece that was completely his own masterpiece. Yes, yes, perhaps Mo Jiazi had a little inspiration and help! However, that was not important.
It was as if they could see themselves riding a hot air balloon, floating Chang 'an City.....
"Brother is about to ascend to the heavens!" Qin Huaiyu and the other two were filled with joy.
In the following days, Qin Huaiyu and the other two went to the Imperial College as usual during the day. However, once they finished their classes, they immediately ran to the manor where the hot air balloon was made.
The location Qin Huaiyu's manor was also very mysterious. It was in the southwest of Chang 'an City. The location was very remote and there were not many people around. In order to keep it a secret, these three guys made the hot air balloon during the day and only carried out the hot air balloon experiment at night. Up until now, the confidentiality of the experiment was very good.
Meton also took the time to look at the hot air balloon a few times. He found that the hot air balloon was getting bigger and bigger. When it was full of hot air, it could even reach the size of a house. The weight it could carry was also getting heavier and heavier. The latest load had already reached about 50 kilograms. At this rate, the hot air balloon that could carry a living person was not far away.
Finally, it was the weekend again. In the early morning, Qin Huaiyu and the other two mysteriously pulled Meton to the manor.
"Dang dang dang!"
Qin Huaiyu foolishly led Meton into the manor.
As soon as Morton entered, the first thing he saw was a huge, shriveled hot air balloon on the ground. Beside it was a huge hanging basket. Inside the hanging basket was a furnace that was burning fiercely, emitting a large amount of heat.
"Is it done?" Meton looked at such an extremely primitive hot air balloon and asked uncertainly.
"Young master, don't worry! According to the experiment last night, this hot air balloon can already lift 250 kilograms of weight up to 30 feet. "Cheng Chumo said proudly.
"Moreover, the stove is made of high-quality charcoal. Adding charcoal once can keep burning for more than half an hour." Lu Ding added.
Moton couldn't help but look at Lu Ding in admiration. Moton believed that Lu Ding was able to make a hot air balloon with his current level of skill. Moton believed that even the skilled craftsmen in Village Mo couldn't compare to him.
"Good, you are indeed the descendant of the Gongshu family!" Meton praised.
"Gongshu family! Gongshu Ban? " Qin Huaiyu looked at Lu Ding in surprise. This craftsman who looked like an old farmer turned out to be the descendant of the famous Gongshu family.
Lu Ding! He was not surprised that Meton knew his details. After all, the Mo family and the Gongshu family had a deep grudge in the past. They both knew each other's craftsmanship.
Lu Ding said with a miserable face, "The old farmer just said that he was abandoned by the Gongshu family. He was too ashamed to use the surname Gongshu anymore. If it were not for the fact that his son was sick and urgently needed money, he would not have made a fool of himself in front of young Mo."
Lu Ding was obviously not sure whether his bottle of gas was oxygen or not. However, at that time, everyone had the same idea. Since it was the first time oxygen was produced, no one knew what it looked like. What if his bottle was oxygen?
However, he did not expect to meet Meton, who exposed them one by one with the experiment of reigniting Mars. Just when he was about to lose all hope, Meton rewarded him with 100 strings of coins, which saved his son from the jaws of death.
Since it was confirmed that Lu Ding was the descendant of Gongshu Ban, Qin Huaiyu and the other two people's confidence was greatly boosted.
"I am going to give it a try this morning," Qin Huaiyu said eagerly.
A large amount of hot air was poured in, and the two layers of cloth on the ground began to expand rapidly. It was as big as two houses. Under the strong atmospheric pressure, the hot air balloon slowly floated and left the ground. It seemed that it was struggling to fly up with the basket, but it was pulled by a huge cable.
"Wow!"
It was the first time that Qin Huaiyu and the other two people saw a hot air balloon rise in the daytime. They could not help but exclaim.
This was the masterpiece of the three of them, and it was their chance to leave their names in history. However, even though the chance to leave their names in history was right in front of them, the three of them hesitated.
Everyone wanted to be the first person to ride a hot air balloon, but they were afraid of the unknown high altitude.
"What if we float up there and fall down?" Qin Huaiyu scratched his ears and cheeks, and said with groundless fear.
As soon as he said that, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin immediately retreated, but they did not want Qin Huaiyu to be the first person to ride a hot air balloon.
Meton was secretly happy. He did not expect the three of them to be so imaginative. However, he was willing to give them a little pressure. After all, even in the future, there had been a hot air balloon accident.
The three of them looked at Meton. Meton immediately spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me. Anyway, I have never been to the sky."
The three of them had no choice but to whisper for a while. The final result of their discussion was that they would first put a sheep up there and see if there was any danger in the sky. After all, compared to leaving their names in history, their own lives were more important.
Soon, a big black sheep was moved over and tied to the basket.
"Start releasing the rope!" With a command, Lu Ding personally went forward and untied the first rope that fixed the basket.
Without the rope, the hot air balloon slowly rose into the sky. The big black sheep also felt that something was wrong and began to scream. Qin Huaiyu and the other two people felt their hair stand on end. They were secretly glad that they did not go up there.
There were a total of five ropes, and the longest one was five feet. As the ropes were released one by one, the hot air balloon quickly rose to a height of five feet.
Looking up from below, the hot air balloon had shrunk by half. Only the shrill cries of the big black sheep could be heard. The three of them were slightly relieved. The fact that the sheep could scream meant that it was still alive.
