Qi Ning chuckled and said: "Young Master Jiang only said half of what he said. According to the bet, if Young Master Jiang loses, he will also wipe my boots for me in front of everyone. By the way, Young Master Jiang's family is as rich as any country. Young Master Jiang seems to have He also promised to give away ten thousand taels of silver when the time comes, and these Mr. Jiang will certainly not forget it."
The corners of Jiang Suiyun's eyes gleamed slightly and he said: "Of course Jiang will not break his promise." He raised his head and looked at the sky and said: "Jin Yi Hou, dusk is approaching. If you want to take off into the sky, I think the sooner the better. If When the sky gets dark, everyone may not be able to see clearly."
"Don't worry, I want to go to heaven, and naturally I want everyone to see it clearly." Qi Ning smiled faintly, turned to Yuan Ning'an and said: "Sir, it seems that all the major academies still have exam questions. I wonder... will I be delayed by doing this? Everyone?"
Yuan Ning'an smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, it's still early, and the book club can still continue even at night."
Qi Ning nodded and said: "That's good." He cupped his hands and looked around, then smiled and said: "If you are interested, you might as well go over and have a look at the excitement." Without saying much, he walked away.
Jiang Suiyun frowned and said, "Where are you going?"
"Don't worry, I won't leave until your boots are polished." Qining left without looking back. Everyone was surprised, but they still followed Qining.
There were so many people that it was a bit crowded for a while, and the disciples of Longchi Academy hurriedly maintained order.
Qi Ning walked directly to the side door of Longchi Academy. Just as he went out, he saw a group of people gathered outside the door. When they saw Qi Ning's figure, several people came forward to greet him. The first person was Duan Canghai.
"Master Marquis, everything is ready." Duan Canghai came up and said with a smile: "Everything is ready, just waiting for Master Marquis to come out. It took a lot of effort to transport this big guy here."
Qi Ning put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." Looking up, in the open space not far ahead, a huge thing appeared in front of him. At this time, many people followed Qin Ning and saw that Things were all startled, and they looked at each other in shock.
"That is... what is that?" Someone said in surprise: "It seems to be a big ball."
"No, there seems to be a basket underneath." Someone wondered: "What is that for?"
At this moment, Qi Ning had already approached, and many people followed suit. Jiang Suiyun frowned and was quite puzzled when he saw the thing, while the girls in Qionglin Academy were chattering and talking about it.
Ximen Wuhen and others also followed out at this moment, and they all looked surprised when they saw the thing.
People gathered around the thing, pointing and pointing, but Qi Ning had already held up his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, this is something I designed myself. If I can fly into the sky with this thing, will it be considered my victory? "
"This... this thing can go to heaven?" Someone asked in surprise: "How can he go to heaven?"
But Ximen Wuhen already smiled and said: "Your bet only talks about whether you can fly into the sky, and there are no other constraints. If the young prince can use this object to fly to the sky, of course the young prince will win."
Qi Ning laughed and said, "I feel relieved when you have a god waiting for me." He glanced at Jiang Suiyun, then looked at Xiaoyao and waved: "Xiaoyao, come here!"
Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, but when Qining called her over, she did not hesitate and walked over. Qining said with a smile: "Do you want to come with me to the sky to take a look?"
"Going to the sky?" Xiao Yao was startled, looking at the weird things Qining created, she couldn't believe it: "This... this can really go to the sky?"
Qi Ning laughed, turned around, walked to the bottom of the hanging basket, opened one side of the hanging basket, walked directly into the hanging basket, and then waved to Xiao Yao, indicating that Xiao Yao should also come over. Xiao Yao was a little uneasy. But he still entered the hanging basket, Qining closed the hanging basket and said loudly: "Torch!"
Duan Canghai had already prepared the torch and sent it over. Everyone was staring blankly, wondering what kind of medicine Qining was selling in the gourd.
Qin Ning took the torch, raised it on the high platform, and lit the flamethrower on it. The flames burst out. Many people were surprised, thinking that the top ball was made of canvas. Qin Ning But if he lit a fire under the canvas ball, he might not be worried about setting off the canvas ball above.
Hundreds of people gathered around the canvas ball and were very surprised when they saw the flames rising. However, Qining remained calm and composed with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed: "It's moving, ah... it's really moving...!"
Almost everyone saw that the strange thing in front of them began to shake. The gondola that was originally on the ground was shaking.
Xiaoyao was extremely nervous, Qining said softly: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Xiaoyao saw Qining looking calm and smiling, and her nervous mood suddenly calmed down a lot. She felt a little swaying under her feet, and heard screams from all around: "Get up, really get up...!"
Everyone actually saw that the huge guy in front of them had begun to slowly rise upwards, and the hanging basket had left the ground.
Not only others, but also Ximen Wuhen also looked surprised.
Of course they didn't know that this was actually a hot air balloon that Qining had been experimenting with these days.
Qining is also very clear about the principle of a hot air balloon. There are only three main components of a hot air balloon. The air bag is only responsible for lift-off. There is a heating port at the bottom of the air bag. Below it is the fire-breathing device. The bottom is the gas supply. As long as the fire-throwing device is activated in the hanging basket where the person is located, the density of the air in the airbag will be reduced after being heated. Once it is lower than the density of the surrounding air, it can rise into the air.
Although the principle is very simple and the design is not too complicated, it is not easy to make it into a real object. Qining has spent a lot of effort on it.
The special equipment is the fire-throwing device, which is the most important part of the entire hot-air balloon. It can be said to be the heart. It controls the power of the entire hot-air balloon. The rise and fall also depend on the flame strength of the fire-throwing device. If it cannot be made, Without a satisfactory fire-breathing device, hot-air balloons would not be successful.
For this reason, Qining asked Duan Canghai to secretly find a few skilled craftsmen to design the fire-breathing device he needed. After struggling for several days, he finally succeeded.
Of course, everyone present had never thought that there was such a way to rise into the sky. They saw the hot air balloon rising from the ground little by little. In just a moment, it was already several meters high from the ground. Everyone looked up and looked at it with horror in their eyes. , but more of it is admiration.
"Master Marquis, we...we are really flying...!" Xiaoyao was still a little nervous at first, but as the hot air balloon gradually took off, an unprecedented sense of excitement filled Xiaoyao's body, and she held on to the sling. At the edge of the basket, I dared to look down, only to see that the people underneath gradually became smaller, and the whole view of Longchi Academy began to be visible.
Qi Ning laughed loudly and said: "Xiaoyao, do you like looking at the world from a high position like this? Many things that you thought were unfathomable before are actually so small."
Xiaoyao said: "Master Hou, how high can we fly?"
"If you keep heating it, you can fly very high." Qining said: "But there isn't a lot of fuel inside, so we can't fly too far. I'll prepare more dye next time, and we'll take an air trip and take advantage of the hot air balloon. Let’s go where we want to go, do you agree?”
"Is it really possible?" Xiaoyao said excitedly: "Next time I can take a ride... in a hot air balloon? Mr. Marquis, is this called a hot air balloon?"
"Yes, this is called a hot air balloon." Qining said with a smile: "As long as you are willing, of course there can be a next time, not just a next time. If you want to fly to the sky in the future, tell me and I will accompany you to the sky. . If we get tired of staying on the ground, we can go up to the sky and take a look at it at any time."
"Master Hou, you...how did you learn to make a hot air balloon?" Xiaoyao turned to look at Qining, her clear eyes full of admiration: "I have never heard of anyone having such a skill before."
"Just think of me as a genius." Qining laughed and said, "This is just one of my many abilities. I will let you see them all if you have the opportunity in the future."
At this time, the people below were already like ants, but they gathered together and did not disperse.
If we say that at today's book meeting, Qi Ning's skills shocked everyone in four consecutive rounds. At this time, the hot air balloon took off, and many people were already in admiration for Qi Ning.
Everyone raised their heads and watched the hot air balloon gradually getting smaller and smaller in the sky. They all knew that Qining had indeed risen into the sky at this time.
Countless people showed unconcealable wonder. Jiang Suiyun looked at the hot air balloon floating in the sky with a pale face. He never expected that the bet with Qi Ning not only did not stump Qi Ning, but actually made Qi Ning happy. Ning took this opportunity to amaze everyone. He couldn't help but look at Su Zixuan, but he saw that Su Zixuan was also looking up at the hot air balloon in the sky. There was no trace of annoyance on her beautiful face, and she was actually holding her hands together. In front of the chest, there is a look of longing on his face.
Qi Ning stood in the hanging basket and spread his arms. The air in this era was hot and fresh, and the smell was refreshing. He turned around and said: "Xiao Yao, let me teach you a song!"
"Singing?" Xiaoyao said, "What song?"
Qining took a deep breath and sang loudly: "Life is like a big river, sometimes peaceful and sometimes crazy. Reality is like a shackles, trapping me and unable to break free. This mysterious life is as sharp as a knife, and it will kill me again and again. I was seriously injured. I know that the happiness I want is in that higher sky. I want to fly higher, fly higher, my wings will stir up the storm, my heart will roar, I will fly higher, keep flying, keep flying finding… !"
Qi Ning's voice was loud and high-pitched, and her emotions were surging. Xiaoyao looked at Qin Ning singing freely and freely, and looked at the handsome face with a hint of smile, and she was crazy for a moment.
