I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

On the second day, the empress and all the officials came to the Imperial Academy to witness the miracle of flying to the sky.

The students and teachers of the Imperial College stopped attending classes and all came to watch together.

In the square, under the operation of several students, the large balloons that were made have begun to spread out, and they are larger than a basketball court.

There is an opening at the other end of the big balloon, connected to a hanging basket, and several students are busy holding torches to inflate the big balloon with hot air to make it inflate.

The empress was puzzled and asked:"My dear, what does this mean? When will the big balloon fly into the sky?"

Lin Beifan stood beside the empress, looked at the empress's beautiful face, and said with a smile:"Your Majesty, the students are giving the big balloon The balloon is filled with hot air, just like a Kongming Lantern. After absorbing enough hot air, the balloon expands and can fly into the sky!"

"I see!"The empress nodded, still looking curiously.

After a while, she asked anxiously:"Can this big balloon... really take people to the sky?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it will definitely work!"Lin Beifan is full of confidence.

His big balloon is completely based on the most mature hot-air balloon model.

In terms of materials, although the big balloon is made of cloth, after he used special methods to process it, Not only is it tougher and airtight, it is also very heat-resistant, which is more than enough to be used as an airbag for a hot-air balloon.

The ropes and hanging baskets are also carefully arranged.

Even the fuel is made of the most flame-resistant material, which can burn more vigorously and last longer.

With all this going on, I can’t believe it won’t work!

After about two sticks of incense, the big balloon finally inflated and formed a sphere as high as three or four stories high.

This scene alone was very shocking and made the trip worthwhile.

At this time, the big balloon was already tending to lift into the sky.

If it weren't for a few students holding it down below, it might really fly.

The time has come to witness the miracle!

Everyone was very excited, and the empress was excited:"The time has come. , who is flying into the sky? Come on, stand up and let me take a look! Lin

Beifan stood up and said with a smile:"Your Majesty, this person is a humble minister!""

The empress was dumbfounded, and all the officials were dumbfounded!

The man who flew into the sky was actually Lin Beifan?

This, this, this... was something they never expected!

The empress said in surprise:"Ai Qing, why is it you? Lin

Beifan smiled and said:"Your Majesty, from the making to the take-off of this big balloon, only Weichen participated in the whole process!" No one knows about big balloons better than me, so naturally it was up to Wei Chen to try it!"

Actually, there is another reason. He wants to be the first person to fly!

This flying experiment is basically a success, and it is destined to go down in history and be famous forever!

How can such a rare opportunity to show off be passed up to others?

Besides, he You are powerful and can escape in time when danger arises. What are you afraid of?

"But it's too dangerous. You are a court official and have great responsibilities, so you shouldn't be in danger! Mr. Lin, please ask someone else to do it for you!"One minister couldn't help but say

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, don't worry, gentlemen. If I dare to be the first person in the sky, I will naturally be fully prepared and there will be no danger! Lin Beifan cupped his hands and smiled.

The empress knew Lin Beifan's strength and nodded:"Go, Aiqing, be more careful!""

"Yes, Your Majesty! Lin Beifan nodded.

Then, he came under the big balloon and jumped into the hanging basket.

He nodded to the student next to him:"You can let go!""

"Yes, Lord Siye!"

As everyone let go of their hands, the big balloon slowly lifted into the sky.

Everyone was very excited and shocked.

"It's flying!"

"He really flew!"

"Flying God!"

……

The empress looked at the sky in shock:"It's really...flying!"

At this time, the big balloon was already 20 meters away from the ground and about six feet high. It was held by a rope and did not fly too high.

Lin Beifan sat on the hanging basket and waved to everyone:"Your Majesty, don't worry. Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine!"

The empress shouted loudly:"My dear, you must be careful!" Lin Beifan nodded and waved again to the students below..

They received the signal, they loosened the rope in their hands, and the big balloon slowly rose into the sky again.

Before I knew it, I was already 80 meters above the ground.

This height is already very high, equivalent to the height of a modern 18-story building. It has far surpassed the tallest building in Beijing. It stands high in the sky and is very eye-catching!

Many people in the capital saw the rising balloon, and they suddenly became excited and noisy!

"What is this? It's so huge, can it fly into the sky?"

"Could it be some kind of monster?"

"Zi Buyu has strange powers and chaos. Could he be a monster? If it was really a monster, the officers and soldiers would have been unable to sit still!"

"I saw it, there seemed to be a person above!"

"I saw it too, that was the No. 1 Scholar!"

"The champion is flying into the sky!"

……

Everyone is seeing a miracle!

They gathered their friends and ran out to see the big balloons.

In Lin Mansion.

Dali ran back excitedly:"Young mistress, and everyone, come and see, the young master is going to fly away!"

Li Shishi, Mo Rushuang, Guo Shaoshuai and others were all disturbed.

"Dali, why is it so noisy? You said your husband flew away, how could your husband fly? Master Li asked doubtfully.

He slapped his thigh vigorously:"Oh, I can't explain!" Look up at the sky and you will understand!"

Looking in the direction Dali was pointing, they saw a huge thing rising into the sky.

Under the huge thing, there was a hanging basket with a person standing there.

That person was none other than the owner of the Lin Mansion - Lin Beifan.

So everyone shocked!

"What is this? Why did Mr. Lin fly to the sky while sitting on it?"Mo Rushuang said dumbfounded.

"Flying so high, how did you do this?"Shao Shuai Guo was stunned.

"The young master won't fly directly into the sky, will he?"Xiao Cui was shocked.

The two monks were equally shocked and worshiped:"Amitabha, this is a miracle!"

Master Li said excitedly:"I heard from my husband that he is currently researching a thing that can take people to the sky, called a big balloon. I thought it should be this thing. I didn't expect it to be successful so quickly!"

At this time, Lin Beifan, who was on the big balloon, was also very excited.

Flying into the sky on the big balloon he made was a great sense of accomplishment!

Especially in a world with little technological foundation, creating a manned flight The big balloon has successfully flown, which gives me an even greater sense of accomplishment! It will definitely leave a mark in history!

Lin Beifan is the first person to fly!

At this time, the big balloon is 80 meters above the ground. The first manned flight can be regarded as a complete success.

However, Lin Beifan was still not satisfied and wanted to fly higher and farther.

So, he waved to the students below again and sent a signal.

The students were dumbfounded and their expressions changed drastically!

The Empress Asked:"What does it mean to love you?""

"Your Majesty……"A student boldly said:"Master Si Ye, you are asking us to let go of the rope that pulls the big balloon!"

The empress was puzzled:"What is the danger of letting go of the rope? Why do your faces change?"

The student said tremblingly:"Qi Your Majesty, if you let go of the rope, the big balloon will lose its restraints and fly to who knows where! This is the first manned flight. No one has ever operated a big balloon. There is no reference to previous experience. It may bring many problems. Uncertain danger! Also, the fuel on the big balloon is limited. If it burns out, it will fall.……"

The empress's expression also changed a little.

But at this time, Lin Beifan couldn't wait any longer and cut off the rope himself.

Without the restraint of the rope, the big balloon flew higher, as if it was really going to fly into the sky!

The people in the whole city were stunned and called them gods!

There are also many ignorant people who kneel on the ground and worship devoutly!

Gradually, the big balloon flew away from the capital, not knowing where it was going.

"Chase Aiqing back quickly! If something happens to Aiqing, I would like to ask for you!"The Empress shouted

"Yes, Your Majesty!"Everyone took the order.

A large number of soldiers came out of the city and chased the big balloon.

At this time, Lin Beifan felt extremely comfortable.

Sitting on the big balloon, he was in a trance and had a panoramic view of the entire capital, mountains, rivers, lakes and sea! It also shocked the empress and the emperor. Hundreds of officials were worshiped by the people!

It can be said that this pretense was very successful!

"However, there is not enough fuel, so you can choose an open space to land!"

As the fuel slowly ran out, the hot air in the big balloon was insufficient, and it lost the ability to rise into the air, and slowly landed.

Finally, it landed very safely on an open grassland.

This means that the balloon in another world The first flight was a complete success.

Soon after, some powerful generals and court experts all rushed over.

Seeing that Lin Beifan was safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lin, Your Majesty asked me to take you back!

Lin Beifan nodded:"That's easy to say!" But wait until I put the big balloon away, and then I will go back with you!"

"This is natural! Do you need help from a subordinate?"

About an hour later, Lin Beifan returned to the Imperial Academy with the big balloon.

The empress walked quickly and saw that Lin Beifan was safe and sound. She finally felt relieved and scolded:"Lin Aiqing, just come back! I order you not to do such risky behavior in the future!"

Just now, she was really frightened. She was really afraid that Lin Beifan would never come back!

If something unexpected happened, it would be too late to regret!

She found that she couldn't live without Lin Beifan!

She would rather fail to fly than let him Something happened to Lin Beifan!

Seeing the concern in the empress's eyes, Lin Beifan felt warm in his heart, clasped his hands and said:"Your Majesty, I have made you worry, I will not do such risky behavior again in the future!"

"Well, remember your words! If you do it again next time, I will take off your head!"The empress said angrily.

Looking at the big balloon that had been put away behind her, the empress was extremely excited:"Lin Aiqing stepped forward to accept the seal!"

"I'm here!"Lin Beifan clasped his hands.

The empress said loudly:"Lin Aiqing created the big balloon, an important weapon of the great country, and presided over the first manned flight to be a complete success. It was the first of its kind and benefited the country and the people. It is a huge contribution! So I reward you……"

"He was promoted to a fifth-grade official and still held the position of Secretary in the Imperial College!"

"Reward 100 acres of fertile land!"

"Reward ten thousand taels of gold!"

……

What follows is a series of luxurious rewards.

But what makes people most envious and envious is the reward for being promoted to the first level, as well as hundreds of acres of fertile land.

Being promoted to a higher level gives people more power.

Hundreds of acres of fertile land can be passed down from generation to generation as family wealth, ensuring the longevity of the family

"Thank you Lord for your grace! Lin Beifan said loudly.
