Li Shimin looked up and saw a huge round object floating in the sky in the distance, floating in mid-air, like a ball!
In addition, the sun is hanging in the sky at this moment, and the dazzling sunlight shines down, making this huge elliptical sphere in mid-air look like a solar sphere!
"What's this?"
Li Shimin was shocked!
The ministers around him also opened their mouths in shock, appearing to be in disbelief.
The people who came out from behind also widened their eyes in shock.
"what is that?"
"Oh my god, this is, this must be God's punishment."
"What a big ball!"
Li Shimin also had a dull and shocked look on his face, and the officials from the News Temple nearby were also shocked, but they still recorded the scene quickly. According to the precious cultural relics "Chang'an Daily" unearthed in later generations, this scene was called "The Emperor Sees the Hot Air Balloon Picture".
Zhao Chen had already anticipated the expressions of everyone present. He had a smile on his face and waved his folding fan. The hot air balloon was still too advanced for the people of the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, go ahead. Today I will take you to visit the Sun Ball."
Zhao Chen smiled.
Li Shimin came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Chen in shock.
"Mr. Zhao, is this your latest invention?"
"Yes, we have been developing it for several months, and today it has achieved results, so I brought His Majesty here to experience it."
Li Shimin was shocked and followed Zhao Chen forward: "But, why does it float in the air?"
The ministers next to him also looked at Zhao Chen. Cheng Yaojin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Mr. Zhao, why does this thing float in the air? Will it not fall down?"
At this moment, a large number of people were crowded in the area outside the south of the city, and there was a lot of discussion. The soldiers had been maintaining order for a long time, and Changsun Chong and the others had also arranged everything.
Zhao Chen took Li Shimin and his party to the bottom of the hot air balloon, and saw Wei Wang Li Tai standing here.
"Father."
Seeing that Li Tai had a thin beard on his lips, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Qingque, did you supervise the creation of this solar sphere?"
Li Tai shook his head: "Father, I did not build it. This thing is called a hot air balloon. The principle is actually very simple. It uses hot air and cold air to float up and down, so that the hot air balloon rises into the sky"
Li Tai explained the principle to Li Shimin.
And Zhao Chen also asked people to lower the hot air balloon. Everyone saw the huge thing and was pulled down by a rope.
Afterwards, Zhao Chen looked around and saw that many people around him were still looking curiously and bustling with people. At least half of the people in Chang'an were here.
"Everyone, this thing is a hot air balloon. It is an invention specially developed by Zhao Manor. Once you board this thing, you can have a panoramic view of the mountains and small mountains. Today, I, the famous civil servants and generals of the Tang Dynasty, are the first to do it for you. We will provide demonstrations to prove the safety of this thing. In the later stage, we will set up a scenic area and a hot-air balloon area on the top of the mountain. When the time comes, you can board the hot-air balloon and see Chang'an from the hot-air balloon, which will give you a different feeling! And when the time comes, it will only cost you fifty cents to board a hot air balloon!"
Listening to Zhao Chen¡¯s impassioned speech, Li Shimin and the other ministers were dumbfounded. Changsun Wuji looked sideways slightly, feeling speechless in his heart. Is the prince consort actually doing business at this time?
At such an important time, you are actually doing business?
After saying this, Zhao Chen smiled and clasped his fists at Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the hot air balloon has come down now. I will find someone to go up and explore the path for you first to ensure the safety of the hot air balloon."
Then, he looked at Cheng Yaojin: "Old Cheng, didn't you say you wanted to give it a try? Now the opportunity has come, it's free, no money required, why don't you go up and give it a try?"
Cheng Yaojin was stunned. He looked at the hanging basket in front of him that was still floating a little above the ground, and felt a little weak inside.
Compared with the air bag, this hanging basket is really too small. It can only accommodate a few people, and it is surrounded by simple wooden railings, which is very dangerous.
When he thought about leaving the ground and floating in the air, Cheng Yaojin felt a little guilty.
"Mr. Zhao, I still prefer the feeling of being down-to-earth."
Zhao Chen was a little confused: "Old Cheng, didn't you say you haven't seen anything in the past few years? When it comes to real men, who else is more real than you?"
Cheng Yaojin shook his head repeatedly: "Mr. Zhao, I have never seen this before. I just saw it shaking in the air.Besides, a real man is a man who can bend and stretch. "
Zhao Chen: ""
He suddenly discovered that when did Cheng Yaojin become so shameless?
However, Zhao Chen did not embarrass Cheng Yaojin, but directly said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I suggest that Lord Yu Wentaiyu and Lord Liu Fengya Liu can go up and have a try. Although the hot air balloon is shaking a little in the air, it should No one will die."
The ministers next to them glanced at the two people Zhao Chen was talking about. They saw that these two people were the two ministers who shouted the most fiercely this morning. There is no doubt that the prince consort is going to make them pay the price. ah.
It seems that the prince-in-law still holds a grudge.
The colleagues and courtiers around him silently moved a few steps to the side, keeping their distance, so as not to be spotted by the consort.
"As for Yu Wentai and the other two, their faces suddenly turned pale.
"Your Majesty!"
Master Yu said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I can only be loyal to Your Majesty in the next life."
Zhao Chen rolled his eyes: "What are you talking about? I just said it is possible. The probability of death is very small. As long as you hold on to the railing tightly and there is no strong wind in the sky, you will generally not fall. And if you fall He won¡¯t fall to death, at most he will break his bones and become a disabled person.¡±
"Your Majesty!"
Master Yu immediately knelt down and started crying.
Next to you, Cheng Yaojin Zhile, at this level, still wants to be an enemy of Mr. Zhao. Isn¡¯t this looking for death?
Zhao Chen smiled and said: "Don't worry, someone will come and put him on the gondola."
The people from the Zhao Mansion next to him directly carried him up into the hanging basket, and another minister was also carried up. Their faces were full of fear.
"Okay, Your Majesty, please take a look. This is the hot air balloon, rising!"
The craftsmen on the hanging basket immediately started adding fuel, and the entire hot air balloon began to rise slowly.
¡°Wow, it¡¯s really improved!¡±
The people around him exclaimed.
Li Shimin also looked up and watched the hot air balloon rise, and couldn't help but ask: "How high can this so-called hot air balloon rise?"
"Your Majesty, we have done experiments before. The current hot air balloon can rise to an altitude of 100 meters. It is okay to go higher. But if it is too high, it will completely lose control and there is a risk."
Ma Zhou raised his head and was amazed when he saw that the hot air balloon had indeed risen.
Only the two courtiers above were trembling, holding on to the railing tightly, looking down, feeling dizzy.
Master Yu could not help but shout: "Your Majesty, I will still be your minister in the next life!"
This expression of loyalty made him burst into tears. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin said directly: "Pull your head back, don't affect my viewing of the hot air balloon."
Master Yu¡¯s eyes widened, he was really crying and wanted to die.
Zhao Chen smiled so lightly that his eyes swept over the courtiers behind him, which made those courtiers shudder. They all squeezed out smiles, for fear that Zhao Chen would let them get on the hot air balloon next.
At this moment, someone asked directly: "Consort, what is the use of this hot air balloon? At present, it seems that it has no other use except floating. It is flashy." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
