Really few people on the flying boat knew about it. Even Wang Yuyan, who had read a lot, didn't know. He couldn't even imagine what kind of place Tamluo was.
Li Yuanxing put down the soft chairs in the command cabin, asked someone to bring a blanket to cover it, and signaled Wang Yuyan and others to go back to the cabin to rest. The people on the flying boat took turns sleeping. The speed of the flying boat should not be too fast. There were only two people starting from Laizhou.
It's great if you can see the land beyond Baekje.
It must be said that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were excellent, and many of them participated in the victory carnival in Chang'an.
Then there was an emergency dispatch. At that time, they were just divided into two groups, one group was resting, and the other group was controlling the airship. But the airship hardly stopped. Li Yuanxing stayed in Fenzhou for almost a day. When he arrived in Laizhou, it was already late at night, supplying supplies and checking the machine.
, these two groups act together.
This will be another overnight flight, but the group of people on duty are standing at their posts in high spirits.
The steam engine room is a hard job, and there are no machines for adding coal. It is completely added to the furnace shovel by shovel by manpower. So Li Yuanxing ordered to switch to cruising speed, which is only half of the full speed of the airship.
If you accelerate further, for every 10% increase in speed, the coal consumption will increase by 10%.
When flying at full speed, the coal consumption is almost three times higher than the cruising speed, which also makes the furnace workers harder.
Li Yuanxing did not sleep properly. He slept in a hazy state for more than three hours.
When I woke up, it was still dark.
The three navigators, one captain, two mates, were calculating the approximate direction of the current location, then compared it with the compass, and said to the deputy captain in charge of the direction: "According to the calculation, it should be about three and a half degrees to the southeast. The distance is half the distance
It should be here in an hour, at least close by!"
In order not to disturb the resting crew members, the deputy captain signaled a crew member to run to the aft control room.
Li Yuanxing said with a smile: "It will be fine in the future. After gradual improvement, it will be possible to communicate within the ship or control it from the bow. Then there will be no need to work so hard."
"It's my fault for waking up Your Highness!"
"No, I woke up on my own." Li Yuanxing said and looked at his watch. It was now around five o'clock in the morning. Suddenly, Li Yuanxing thought of an interesting thing: "Today's weather is good, and there are still some clouds in the sky. If the force rises,
, you can watch the sunrise in the clouds, the spectacle is guaranteed to be unforgettable for you.”
There was a feeling of happiness and expectation in Li Yuanxing's eyes.
After the vice captain saw Li Yuanxing's expression, his whole body felt like it was on fire. It made His Highness the King of Qin feel such a wonderful sight, and it would be a lifetime memory to see it with his own eyes.
Knocking on the iron pipe used for transmitting messages, the vice-captain cleared his throat, first blew on the pipe with the air horn, and then said loudly: "All crews on the Weiyuan, all crews on the Weiyuan. Emergency drill, emergency."
Drill. Everyone quickly reaches their respective positions, repeat, and quickly reaches their respective positions. Please ask Captain Gao to come to the command warehouse."
Everyone got up urgently and ran to various posts in an orderly manner.
Li Yuanxing went to the resting compartment to wake up Wang Yuyan.
"Your Highness, what happened? It seems that many people are running around on the ship."
"There are not many opportunities to see the sunrise. Even if you fly every day, you may not be able to see it. Today is a sunny day. Let the airship rise to an altitude of 800 feet to touch the clouds, and then fly up to 1,500 feet.
, you can fly above the clouds. The maximum height of the flying boat is 2,600 feet, so you don’t have to worry about safety issues.”
The captain rushed to the command cabin and heard what the deputy captain said and said he should take a look.
Even if you are just happy for His Highness the King of Qin, you should fly to the clouds. What's more, the flying boat has not flown directly to high altitudes. The highest altitude is about 500 feet above the ground when cruising.
There is a not very accurate barometric altimeter on the flying boat, made by Datang and about the size of a bucket.
At this time, the height indicated on the watch was 455 feet.
The captain opened the cabinet in the command cabin and took out the palm-sized altimeter that Li Yuanxing had given them. This was for safety. After all, there was a limit to how high the airship could fly. If it exceeded the altitude, there would be danger.
"Command, the four, six, and seven groups of airbags to start inflating and increase the flight altitude."
The hydrogen on the spaceship is produced using the stupidest method, electrolyzing water. The hydrogen part is injected into the air bag, and the oxygen part is directly blown into the furnace to help the steam engine increase its combustion power. It is unclear whether the middle part is hydrogen and oxygen.
It is not used, and when the production of hydrogen is stopped, the excess is released.
Because gas containing hydrogen is added to the furnace, it is very dangerous.
The flying boat was rising little by little. You couldn't see the clouds at night, so you could only rely on your feeling.
"Your Highness, one thousand six hundred feet!"
Li Yuanxing was not in the command cabin. After hearing the report, he ordered: "The bow of the ship is facing north. Everyone stands facing each other. Slow down and keep hovering. Maintain the attitude of the hull."
The sky is still black.
But after a while, the sky turned slightly blue. Because it was a sunny day, you could see the clouds, the sea, and the blue sky.
Just when everyone was exclaiming at the blue sky and sea, a red cloud appeared where the sky and water met in the blink of an eye. The scope of the red cloud slowly expanded and became brighter and brighter. A red cloud seemed to have nothing to do with it.
A bright, round ball like half an egg yolk appeared on the horizon. It was extremely cute.
Suddenly, thousands of rays of light appeared, which stung people's eyes. The clouds in the sky seemed to have a luster.
The blue color is like a burning flame on the grassland, rapidly rendering the entire sky from the horizon, until the sky above the flying boat also turns blue, and the white clouds under the feet seem to be illusory and real.
Li Yuanxing smiled and pointed to the west window, and several people ran over.
The sky over there is still black, and the clouds under my feet are still invisible, let alone the sea or anything else.
"Let's go, Tamluo!" Li Yuanxing left the window with his hands behind his back. The beauty was at that moment. To the ancient people who had never been exposed to the sky, the sunrise in the sky was a thousand times more beautiful than the epiphyllum.
"If we drag those court officials along, they might write a lot of poems at this time!" Lu Maofeng laughed dryly at the side.
Li Yuanxing laughed and ignored everyone.
Half an hour later, Jeju Island appeared at the feet of the Weiyuan spacecraft. This small island is not as big as Chang'an County, with only more than 1,800 square kilometers. There are volcanoes, mountains, wonders, and waterfalls here.
There are seas and rocks, but there are only villages and towns like those in the Tang Dynasty, and there is only very little land that can be cultivated.
Tamluo is a country, but it is not a country.
It is a country, because it lives overseas and has an independent tradition. It is not a country, because it has no administrative system and no army. This is a chaotic place, where tribes of all sizes are constantly fighting among themselves. It is just fighting, but not killing.
.And more women than men participated in the battle.
Jeju bird, Tamna country.
A very magical place. There are many rocks, strong winds and many women.
From the perspective of the birth rate, nine out of ten girls are born, and nine out of ten boys die. The birth problem may be due to the water and soil problems here, and the reason why nine out of ten boys die is because men need to go out to sea to fish, and the mortality rate is too high.
Therefore, the male-to-female ratio in Jeju Island is astonishingly different. It would be a blessing for a man to have ten wives, but it would be a disaster for a man to have a hundred wives.
Wu Zhao described Jeju Island as an ant country. The queen, the female officials, and the men are the breeding tools, just like the king ants in the ant worker country. The number is small, and what is needed is just enough exquisiteness.
In Tamluo Kingdom, the ethnic groups above are called Jiyi people.
Lu Maofeng picked up the loudspeaker and let the flying boat fly in circles around the island while shouting loudly: "The Tang Empire, the Tang Empire, His Highness King Qin is here..." Li Yuanxing heard this and said casually: "
If you use Chinese, will they understand you?"
Lu Maofeng thought the same thing, called a few personal guards over, and said what he meant in Chinese.
The races of the personal guards around Li Yuanxing are becoming more and more mixed, which is also a helpless thing.
When the Khitans sent warriors to Li Yuanxing's Guards, the Mohe people would say that if the Qin Palace did not have Mohe warriors, it meant that the Mohe people were incompetent. Silla naturally sent brave men to the Tang Dynasty, and now there are still
Japanese, Turkic, Yiwu, Shiwei, Goguryeo.
Under the command of Lu Maofeng, after shouting in six languages, the flying boat chose an open seaside to land.
What is Datang?
Who is the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty?
The Jiyi people didn't know, and they didn't know what such a huge flying thing meant. They just knew that a very powerful person was coming and asked all the clan leaders to see him. This was as powerful as a god coming down to earth, and the Jiyi people were in awe.
The hearts began to focus on where Li Yuanxing was.
One thousand eight hundred square kilometers, which is not big even if it is said to be large. The farthest place is about one hundred miles to Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing was not in a hurry to meet those who arrived first, but ordered the food to be prepared and entertained the guests.
When the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty saw the Jiyi people, their eyes became real, and the faces of the younger ones turned red. This was because most of the Jiyi people were bare-chested, and only a few of the young ones had a girdle on their chests.
Wang Yuyan asked her maid to send some burlap and simply made a long dress for these people.
To put it simply, there is a hole in the middle of a piece of cloth, put your head through it, and then tie it around the waist with a strip of cloth. This is the simplest long skirt. Just such a simple gift made Li Yuanxing popular among Jiyi people
The good feelings in my heart have increased several times, and coupled with the delicious food, it makes people even happier.
It takes a whole day to get there from the farthest point.
Everyone has a gift, which is just the skirt and some food from the Tang Dynasty.
It wasn't until the next day that Li Yuanxing actually met with these patriarchs. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
