Chapter 371 Parachute
When Lu Bu returned to his residence, he ordered Sun Ce to get a lot of fabric and ropes to his study. Then he locked himself in the room and had not left the door for several hours.
Lu Bu didn't eat lunch. Seeing that it was getting dark, Sun Ce came to his door and said to Lu Bu in the room: "Mr. Chu, I haven't eaten at noon. No matter what I do, I have to eat something."
"Bo Fu just asks someone to bring the meal in." Lu Bu's voice came from the room.
Behind Sun Ce was a servant holding a tray.
The tray is placed exactly as supper.
Pushing open the door gently, Sun Ce walked into the house with his servant.
The light in the room was already very dark, and there were many scattered cloth and ropes on the ground and on the table.
Lu Bu didn't even light an oil lamp, and was still thinking about how to cut the cloth and how to tie the ropes to the cloth so that they can connect more firmly.
Seeing that the room was very dim, Sun Ce lit a few oil lamps and said to Lu Bu: "Horse Chu was too focused and didn't even notice that the room was not lighted."
"I can still see it, so I don't care." Lu Bu was still fiddling with the fabric and rope in front of him. He asked Sun Ce: "Bofu, do you think the blacksmith can make a circle inlaid in the fabric?"
"Let the blacksmith create a ring to inlaid it on the fabric?" Sun Ce asked in surprise: "What is Chu Hou doing?"
"I have made the parachute, but the fabric is too crisp. I am worried that when the soldiers fall from mid-air, there will be no ring isolation, and the rope will tear the fabric open." Lu Bu said: "Once the parachute is broken, the soldiers who catch up with this kind of thing will undoubtedly die!"
"What Chu Hou is doing is a parachute?" Looking at the fabric and ropes piled up in front of Lu Bu, Sun Ce asked in surprise: "With this thing, people will fall from the sky and will not be crushed to pieces?"
"Of course not." Lu Bu said: "When falling from the sky, the parachute is opened. With the parachute, the speed of landing will be extremely slow, and of course you will not fall or die."
Sun Ce looked confused, but still couldn't understand what Lu Bu said.
He saw confusion on his face. Lu Bu picked up the empty bowl on the tray for pouring wine and placed it gently on the ground: "The person fell from mid-air and opened the parachute to the ground, just like this bowl was gently placed on the ground. If there was no parachute..."
He picked up the bowl as he said, and raised it high above his head.
Lu Bu is much taller than ordinary people, with a bowl raised above his head and not too far from the beam of the house.
When he loosened his hand, the bowl fell down and fell at his feet, falling into several pieces.
"If you land on the ground without a parachute, you will look like this." Lu Bu curled his lips and looked at Sun Ce and asked, "Do you understand now?"
"I probably understand." Sun Ce replied: "I'll ask the blacksmith now."
"Don't make the ring too big or too heavy." Lu Bu explained to him: "There must be no gaps, otherwise the rope may fall off. In addition, I will ask two tailors to come over. Let them try to make parachutes, which is much better than my skills."
"I understand." Sun Zheng replied and withdrew from Lu Bu's study.
After he left, Lu Bu was still fiddling with the half-made parachute in front of him.
His skill in sewing parachutes is indeed unsightly.
