Chapter 355 Ying Zheng Loves Names
"It's really flying!"
"My God, I'm not dreaming!"
"You read that right, this cloud-like flying artifact really took off!"
"His Royal Highness and His Majesty, are they about to ascend to immortality!"
At this moment, a group of important ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty completely lost their usual self-cultivation. They stared dumbfounded at the rising hot air balloon in front of them, their faces full of disbelief.
Even Ying Zheng and Wang Jian, who were riding in the hot air balloon, couldn't believe their eyes.
"I'm afraid it's thirty or fifty feet high, isn't it?"
Feng Quji poked his head out and glanced down, only to feel dizzy for a while, so he quickly retracted and said.
Although the mountain that Feng Quji has climbed is much higher than the height of the hot air balloon now, but this is the feeling of flying after all, it is completely different from standing still on the mountain!
"It should be more than that, the speed of this artifact's ascension is so fast."
Wang Jian, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was also a little pale at the moment, and he could barely maintain his composure, his palms were covered with cold sweat.
Even Ying Zheng was slightly nervous, unable to calm down for a long time.
"This artifact won't fly directly above the clouds, in the legendary fairy palace?"
Ying Zheng took a deep breath, looked at the figure that was already too small to be seen below, and asked with some uncertainty.
"The height of the clouds is generally nearly a thousand feet. Although it can be reached, it is better to be safe for the first flight."
"And above the clouds is the atmosphere, and there are no immortals."
"Currently we should be at an altitude of about two hundred feet, which matches the current airflow. We can just use the wind to fly directly in the air towards Xianyang Palace."
Ying Yu explained with a smile.
The blueprint provided by the system, in addition to the hot air balloon, also comes with a simple altimeter, speedometer and wind direction indicator, which is very convenient to use.
And Daqin's two hundred wen, which is the height of 70 meters in later generations, is already very good for the first flight of a hot air balloon.
No matter how high it was, the old man Feng Quji might have a fear of heights.
"This is the first time for me to look down on Xianyang City from such a high position, and it's also the first time I can see it so clearly."
Excitedly, Yingzheng took out the binoculars that never left his body from his arms, and began to look at the entire city of Xianyang.
"This is Xianyang New City!"
"This is the Weishui Wharf!"
"This is the Qilin Palace, this is my bedroom!"
Ying Zheng searched for familiar places everywhere, happily like an old urchin.
Wang Jian, Feng Quji, and Jiang Mu, who looked at him weakly, poked their heads out to take a look.
"Sure enough, the entire Xianyang City can be seen!"
"The feeling of flying in the sky is really special!"
"To be honest, the old minister is looking forward to it now, flying above the clouds and snow, and exploring the feeling of Jiutian."
Wang Jian couldn't help but express his feelings.
After all, he is a veteran who has fought for many years. Although he was a little uncomfortable at first, he quickly adjusted.
"If you want to see a thousand miles, go to a higher level!"
"Climb high and look far. If we fly high enough, let alone Xianyang City, we can have a panoramic view of the entire Lishan Mountains."
Ying Yu also said with emotion.
The altitude of the highest part of Mount Li is less than 500 meters, and the hot air balloon produced by the system can easily reach a height of more than 3000 meters. If you are well prepared, it is not impossible to reach [-] meters.
In fact, at an altitude of 600 meters, coupled with the airflow, Feng Quji, who was not in good health, already felt a little bit of coolness.
"The prince has a heart!"
Ying Zheng wrapped up the cotton coat that Ying Yu handed over, took back the telescope and said:
"This object is combined with a telescope, soaring in the air, you can easily see the situation in a radius of tens of miles, and it is very useful for the country and the people!"
"What Your Majesty said is very true. If these artifacts are used on the battlefield, they can fully understand the enemy's actions, so that they can know themselves and the enemy, and win easily!"
Wang Jian agreed with excitement.
Predicting the enemy's opportunity and defeating the enemy to win the victory is the best way for a soldier to do it, but it was very difficult to do it before.
But now, with hot air balloons and binoculars, the battlefield is almost unilaterally transparent to Daqin.
No matter how cunning the opponent is, he still cannot defend against the detection from the sky!
Moreover, the appearance of hot air balloons not only provides insight into the enemy's situation, but also greatly shocks the morale of the opponent, making it difficult not to win.
"Yu'er, how fast can such an artifact fly?"
Ying Zheng looked at the rapidly retreating buildings of the scientific research institute and asked curiously.
"Return to father, the function of the fuel tank of the hot air balloon is to adjust and maintain the lift. The specific flight speed mainly depends on the wind speed. Our current speed should be about [-] miles per hour!"
Ying Yu looked at the speedometer, then spoke.
"One hour is two hundred miles, and one day is thousands of miles. If this artifact can be born earlier, wouldn't it only take a few days for me to reach Kuaiji County or Liaodong from Xianyang City?"
Ying Zheng calculated silently in his mind, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"It depends on the wind direction and wind speed. Is it coordinated?"
Ying Yu explained with a smile.
The biggest problem with hot air balloons is that their lateral movement is entirely dependent on the wind, but even so, their speed is much faster than that of a horse.
And because it is in the air, as long as you don't go to the northwest plateau, you are basically not restricted by the geographical environment, and the straight-line advantage is very obvious.
"OK!"
Ying Zheng laughed loudly.
As the Great Qin Emperor, he naturally understood what it meant to strengthen the centralization of power by starting from Xianyang City and arriving at Kuaiji and Liaodong within two or three days!
I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and looked at Ying Yu's gaze, and became more and more satisfied.
"It's just that the name of the hot air balloon doesn't match the artifact. Does the prince have a new name?"
Ying Zheng said.
It is like a batch of artifacts, and it was invented by Ying Yu. Since Ying Zheng likes to show off his son's character, he naturally needs to publicize it a lot. However, the name of this hot air balloon makes Ying Zheng feel that it is not upscale and seriously lacks domineering.
"With the presence of the emperor, the children will not show their ugliness."
Ying Yu shook his head helplessly, brother Zheng's habit of picking names really couldn't be changed.
But as long as Brother Zheng is willing to take back the busy government memorial, this naming right is nothing at all.
Ying Yu's reputation in Daqin was already unparalleled, not bad at all.
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite."
"According to what the prince said, this artifact can fly above the clouds, soaring straight into the sky, and its shape is like a cloud. How about calling it Shuttle through the clouds?"
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment.
"As expected of His Majesty, the name Chuanyunshuo has the aura of flying through the clouds."
"It's a good name indeed!"
Feng Quji and Dunwei immediately praised.
Ying Zheng nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied with the name he had chosen.
The name of the Daqin version of the hot air balloon has been settled since then.
