Chapter 281 Let the people of Yingtian Prefecture witness the miracle of flying together
If you let it fly without any scruples, it will be extremely difficult to adjust its direction later.

Only by skillfully utilizing the different wind directions at different altitudes in the atmosphere can the pilot effectively control the hot air balloon.

From the ground surface to the sky, the wind direction will change subtly every just a few meters or even more than ten meters.

To be a qualified hot air balloon pilot, one must have extremely keen insight.

Only in this way can we accurately capture those subtle and imperceptible changes in wind direction.

By cleverly using these wind directions, you can flexibly adjust the flight route of the hot air balloon and reach your desired destination.

However, it is not easy to achieve this. It not only places high demands on the driver's own technical level, but also involves great risks.

Because any slight change in the weather could lead to unexpected accidents.

Just like now, when the hot air balloon rises to a certain height, it needs to be firmly restrained with ropes.

Only in this way can the driver stand firmly on the hanging basket, and use the high advantage to scout the enemy's movements.

This method is relatively safe and reliable.

After all, the hot air balloon has the advantage of height, combined with the telescope's vast field of view.

If the sky is clear and the air is fresh, you can even clearly see the every move of the large-scale enemy forces more than ten miles away.

“Now that we are at such a high altitude, with the help of a telescope, the view is truly boundless.

During the march, the ropes can be tied tightly to the food and supplies.

In this way, the hot air balloon can follow the troops closely and maintain a close observation posture at all times and in all places. "

After Zhu Gang finished his introduction, Li Shanchang, at the signal of Zhu Yuanzhang, slowly moved to a place not far below the huge hot air balloon.

At this moment, everyone looked up at the sky, and saw that Liang Jing's body looked so insignificant under the hot air balloon.

But he had indeed flown into the sky, and was even waving his arms vigorously downwards.

Witness this wonder that once existed only in fantasy and rumors, but now it is actually unfolding before your eyes.

Excitement instantly surged into everyone's hearts, so much so that their minds were blank at this moment.

I have no idea what words can express the surging emotions in my heart.

Not until everyone gradually calmed down did Zhu Gang take out two blood-colored flags.

Then he performed a series of dance moves towards Liang Jing in the sky.

Seeing this, Liang Jing quickly took out two similar flags from his arms.

He stood firmly on the hanging basket and made several responses downwards.

Zhu Gang then began to explain: "The hot air balloon and the ground mainly rely on various different flag signals to transmit information to each other.

The action Liang Jing just made was to inform us that no enemy had appeared."

You have to know that the distance is more than ten meters. Can we really expect the people on the ground and the people on the hot air balloon to shout at the top of their lungs?
Not to mention whether you can hear it or not, just shouting like that.

There is almost no doubt that the throat will be exhausted.

Then Zhu Gang made several gestures in succession.

At the same time, Zhu Gang's eyes were fixed on Liang Jing, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw that the other party had successfully responded.

Next, Zhu Gang faced everyone again and explained in detail.

"The second method of operation is to untie the ropes connected to the hot air balloon and let the operator completely control the direction of the hot air balloon.

The route we have pre-set is to fly from where we are now to Yingtian Prefecture.

In this way, the people of Yingtian Prefecture will have the opportunity to witness with their own eyes the powerful strength of our Ming Dynasty today! "In fact, when everyone was discussing this flight route together, Zhu Gang's original idea was relatively conservative.

He felt that the safest and most reliable way was to let the hot air balloon drift with the wind and land in a safe place.

However, Zhu Biao and Gongshu Qi were much braver than Zhu Gang.

The two of them were determined to let Liang Jing's hot air balloon fly directly over Yingtian Prefecture.

Zhu Biao explained this as follows: "Because only in this way can the common people there also see it.

It turns out that in the current Ming Dynasty, humans can fly into the sky.

It is no longer a distant fantasy, but has become a real reality! ”

After a heated discussion, Zhu Gang finally made up his mind.

He resolutely changed his original idea and expressed his support and approval for the radical plan.

At this moment, Zhu Gang deeply realized that perhaps he had always been too cautious and conservative.

You have to know that in this day and age, ordinary people dare not even imagine such a magical thing as being able to fly into the sky.

Now they actually have the possibility to realize this seemingly unattainable dream!
Even if some unexpected situations may happen along the way.

This will not in any way diminish the huge impact of this incident.

After all, successfully flying is a miracle in itself.

In comparison, whether the hot air balloon can land safely seems less important.

Moreover, even if the worst case scenario happens, such as Liang Jing encountering an accident.

There is no need to worry, because there are other alternative hot air balloon pilots who can take his place.

Continue to accompany Zhu Gang and embark on the journey to the grassland together.

Of course, in order to ensure Liang Jing's life safety, Zhu Gang took prompt action.

He urgently ordered the Taiyuan Spacecraft Research Institute to make a parachute as quickly as possible.

As for how effective this parachute can be, it is still unclear.

However, it is worth mentioning that they had conducted related experiments using five sheep before.

The regrettable result was that the first four sheep failed to escape the disaster and died unfortunately.

Fortunately, it is somewhat comforting that the fifth sheep was lucky and only broke a leg.

In this way, this so-called "Ming Dynasty version" parachute became Liang Jing's last straw.

It carries everyone's earnest hope for his safe return.

As the ropes were untied, the hot air balloon flew higher and higher.

Gradually, it became a small black dot in the eyes of everyone.

Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly: "Let's go to Shangyuan County, Yingtian Prefecture."

Zhu Gang knew clearly that before long, the people of Yingtian Prefecture would witness an unprecedented miracle.

Li Shanchang, Zhu Biao and Zhu Gang led the way in front, and Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage followed closely behind.

The Jinyiwei followed behind, and the huge team marched quickly towards Shangyuan County, the seat of Yingtian Prefecture.

In fact, if it were not for the majesty of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang would have wanted to abandon his carriage and ride at full speed to Shangyuan County.
