Chapter 109 Wow, what a big ball (please subscribe!)
In fact, there is a reason why I only took three people back to Chengdu from Yinping, because the transportation can only take up to three people.
Too much to fit.
Previously, when the stability point reached more than 10,000 and the dungeon experience was enabled, the five products in the second row of grids in the system mall had already revealed their true colors.
These five products are: "Simple Parachute Bag", priced at 100 points.
"Dragonfly single-person horizontal speed car (human-powered, can fly 0.5 miles)", priced at 1,000 points.
"Light-feathered single-person hang gliding wing (powered by human power, can glide 2 miles)", priced at 1,000 points.
"Paper cloth three-person light balloon (driven by air, can fly 500 miles)", priced at 5,000 points.
In short, it is a dragonfly car, a hang glider, a hot air balloon, a bicycle (similar to a bicycle and needs to be pedaled to run), and a parachute. Except for the parachute, all other items are disposable.
However, judging from the name of the parachute, it is estimated that this thing is not very durable and will not be used a few times.
Since these five items are not needed in the strategy of Xiqiang, Ma Su never bought them before.
Now, because we have to travel thousands of miles back to Chengdu, these means of transportation have come in handy.
To be honest, when he saw these five things for the first time, Ma Su came up with the idea of population + technology to revitalize the Shu Han.
This idea is very feasible.
Because the Shu Han Dynasty had Huang Yueying, the wife of the great inventor Zhuge Liang...
Among the five things, except for the hot air balloon which is a little difficult to make (it can also be made), the other four things can be made easily in this era.
This is no lie.
In fact, before this, in the land of China, there were already people who could fly in the sky with the help of foreign objects.
There are three main types of foreign objects that ancient people relied on.
One is the parachute.
According to legend, Shun, the leader of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, was the first ancient man to use flying objects. "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the Five Emperors" records: Shun's stepmother and younger brother Xiang hated Shun and often spoke ill of Shun in front of Shun's father Gusou.
He was extremely disgusted with Shun and wanted to kill him. Once, Gusou asked Shun to repair the roof of the barn. Not long after Shun went up, Gusou quietly set fire to the barn. Of course, Shun would not sit still and wait for death, so he used two cannons to
The big bamboo hat was used as wings, so he could glide down from the barn and escape.
This was the first person to use an aircraft in historical records. Obviously, Shun's bamboo hat was equivalent to the parachute used in later generations.
The second is Dragonfly Speeder.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, ancient Chinese invented the bamboo dragonfly. At first, it was just a simple and magical toy. Later, people used their imagination to create a dragonfly flying car.
The bamboo dragonfly has a T-shaped shape and is usually made of bamboo. The horizontal piece is the propeller, and a bamboo stick is inserted into the hole in the middle. Twist the bamboo stick with both hands, and the bamboo dragonfly will spin into the sky. The bamboo dragonfly is also the core of later generations of helicopters.
prototype.
The Taoist classic "Baopuzi" once recorded a machine called "flying car". The book says: "You can use jujube heart wood as a flying car, use cowhide to tie a sword to guide its machine, or you can read five
Snakes, six dragons and three oxen crossed each other and took advantage of it. It rose forty miles and was named Taiqing." This text records a large-scale bamboo dragonfly with power - a thin piece is used as a rotor, with a bearing in the middle and a
The bow leather rope is used to store power. Once the leather rope is pulled, the rotor will rise through torque.
The third is the flying kite.
Kite, the ancients called it flying kite. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wooden kites had appeared in China. Mo Zhai, a man from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, once "spent three years making a kite out of wood and flying it into the sky." Roughly speaking, Mo Zhai The wooden kite is 600 years old since the Three Kingdoms period.
According to the "Book of Han - Biography of Wang Mang", in 19 BC, Wang Mang launched a war against the Huns. This time he wanted to defeat the Huns in a special way, so he ordered to summon people with special functions.
After the order was issued, many people went to answer the call and claimed that they had special abilities. Among so many people, one person said that he could fly and claimed that he could fly a thousand miles. Wang Mang was very happy after hearing this and immediately asked him to demonstrate. The demonstration took place in Chang'an, the capital of the country at that time.
Although there are only a few words about the record of this flight: "Take a big bird's quill as two wings, cover its head and body with hair, lead through the ring, fly hundreds of steps, and fall." Overall, this flight was a success. of.
Wang Mang was overjoyed after seeing this, and allocated a large sum of money to the man, and instructed him to build something similar to an airplane. However, soon after, the new dynasty established by Wang Mang was overthrown by Liu Xiu, and the project to build the aircraft was discontinued. Below.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun's papermaking began to be promoted among the people, and paper kites (flying kites) were also spread in the northern region. As time goes by, kite-making techniques continue to be updated, and the materials and techniques become more sophisticated; the style and performance of the kites also change. Greatly improved and improved.
However, due to continuous wars and stagnant technology, the manned flying kite never came out. It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty, when Jin and Mongolia were at war, that the Mongols brought manned kites into the battlefield and determined the direction of the war.
Therefore, Ma Su immediately fell in love with a light balloon that could carry three people. And he had just enough points to buy a balloon.
The only problem now is that this balloon is disposable and can only fly 500 miles.
The distance from Xianlingqiang to the south of Yinping is one thousand miles, and the distance to Chengdu is more than 1,500 miles.
Therefore, the most reasonable plan for traveling is to first trek a thousand miles to Yinping after the snow stops, then fly in a balloon over the most difficult 500 miles to Chengdu, and then fall from the sky.
Shock all the kings, ministers and officials of the Shu Han Dynasty!
When he thought of that exciting scene, Ma Su felt a little excited and couldn't control himself.
To be honest, as a young man, he was not a person who liked stability. He had a strong risk-taking gene in his bones. However, because this era is full of crises, he had to be steady.
After checking that it was still early and Axiu would not arrive for a few more hours, Ma Di summoned the light screen and clicked on the "light balloon".
[Would you like to spend 5,000 points to purchase the “Paper Cloth Three-person Light Balloon”? 】
"Buy!" Ma Di looked forward to it.
[Congratulations, you successfully spent 5,000 points to purchase a simple light balloon made of paper and cloth. The maximum flight distance is 500 miles and the maximum number of people it can carry is 3 people. Your current balance: 779. 】
[Warm reminder: Flying is risky, so be careful when ascending to the sky. Do you want to purchase three supporting supplies, "Simple Parachute Bags"? 】
"..."
Damn it, there are value-added services... Ma Su was speechless for a while.
"Buy, buy!"
Is it still possible not to buy it?
When it gets to the sky, if the balloon has an accident and there is no parachute, the cliff will die in pieces.
Even if it's bloody and bloody, it's considered good.
[Congratulations: You spent 300 points and successfully purchased 3 super simple umbrella bags. Each umbrella bag can be used about 3 times. Your current balance: 479. 】
[These two items are being delivered, please pay attention to accept them.]
"..."
take over?
How to pick up?
Ma Su rushed out quickly, stretched his neck and looked up at the sky.
Seeing this, everyone became very curious and followed suit.
So a group of people stood in the ice and snow, raising their necks and looking around.
The Qiang girl has the best eyesight. Soon she pointed to the northwest sky and exclaimed: "Wow, what a big heart-shaped ball!"
Everyone looked around and saw a large red heart-shaped balloon slowly floating over from the northwest.
Soon, the balloon, which consisted of a balloon, a hanging basket and a heating device, slowly landed over the yard and stopped at half a person's height above the ground.
Zhang Xiu quickly found a rope, stepped forward to tie the balloon, and tied the other end to the pillar.
Everyone came closer to watch, poking at it with their fingers.
Ma Su was also poking at a few points to check the function of the balloon.
Although the weight of the balloon is very light and the material does not seem to be very strong, its appearance is extremely beautiful. In addition, the balloon is airtight and airtight.
The hanging basket is made of woven rattan, which is not only elastic but also very tough. Looking at the material, it looks very much like the vines used by the rattan soldiers in the past.
At the four corners of the hanging basket, there are strange iron bottles containing dark oil. In addition, the hanging basket is also equipped with compasses and other corresponding devices.
