"Auntie, brother, look, someone is setting off the sky lantern~!"

Guiyifang, Meng Wenhao's home.

After eating dinner, Yaya came to the courtyard, and inadvertently saw a bright fire in the sky in the northeast direction. The little girl couldn't help but pointed in that direction and shouted excitedly into the house.

The so-called sky lantern is another name for Kongming lantern, commonly known as wishing lantern, also known as prayer lantern. It is an ancient Chinese handicraft that was used for military purposes in ancient times, but some people will cast it on major festivals such as the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival to make wishes and pray for blessings.

There are two theories about the origin of Kongming lanterns. One is that in the Five Dynasties, there was a woman named Xin Qiniang. When she fought with her husband in Fujian, she used bamboo strips to form a square frame, pasted paper on it, and made a large lantern. , Burning turpentine is placed on the chassis, and the lamp is flying into the sky by hot air, which is used as a military communication signal. This kind of pine resin lamp is called Kongming lamp in Sichuan. Mainly because the shape of this lantern resembles the hat worn by Zhuge Liang, hence the name.

Another way of saying it is that it was invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, Zhuge Liang was besieged in Pingyang and could not send troops out of the city to ask for help. Kong Ming calculated the direction of the wind, made a floating paper lantern, attached a message for help, and then escaped, so later generations called this kind of lantern Kongming lantern.

No matter which statement is correct, it is an indisputable fact that there were Kongming lanterns in the Tang Dynasty.

"It's true, but there are still more than ten days until the Mid-Autumn Festival~! How can someone put up sky lanterns at this time~?"

Mother Meng heard her daughter's exclamation and ran out to watch the excitement. After seeing the fire, she said with some doubts.

"Mother, that's not a sky lantern~!"

Meng Wenhao said something dull at this time, and then he gestured with his hand:

"The firelight is at least four or five miles away from us. Generally speaking, the farther away something is, the smaller it looks, but now we can still see so clearly from such a long distance, which shows that this thing is more than ordinary Sky lanterns are at least dozens of times bigger~! Definitely not sky lanterns~!"

Mother Meng thought for a while after hearing the words, and suddenly felt that what her son said made sense, but she still had some doubts: "But if it weren't for the sky lantern, what else could fly so high~?"

"I don't know~!"

Meng Wenhao shook his head and said, "But Mr. definitely knows~!"

Mother Meng rubbed her son's head in a funny way, and said, "Yes, yes~! Hao'er's husband is the best~! Let's go to rest early~! Let's settle the account~!"

Father Meng has been out at sea for almost three months, and the mainstay of the family is gone. Meng Wenhao had to stand up at such a time, so he took advantage of the more than two months of field leave to find a job to support his family.

The other party is the Hu Yuanwai's family that Meng's mother often works for. The position is that of the accountant. With the glory of the school's first achievement and the mathematics knowledge that is ahead of this era in his mind, Meng Wenhao alone is completely worth ten. The Hu family's original accountant, so Hu Yuanwai not only treated him with special respect, but also offered him an unusually high salary.

"Oh~! Got it, mother~!"

Meng Wenhao responded dully, but his expression became a little weird.

……………………

"Your Majesty, according to the reports from the people below, a large firelight just flew out of the Trolley Pavilion workshop, and the firelight is still flying to the northeast. It should be about to leave the city now~!"

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Er rubbed his sore wrists and was about to go back to the eldest grandson to sleep when Zhao Song suddenly walked in in a hurry to report.

"A flying fire~?"

Li Er frowned, and his face became a little weird. After a while, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly got up and said: "Place the Xuanwu Gate~!"

The Xuanwu Gate, the north gate of the Taiji Palace, is located on the original Yupo of Longshou, with a high terrain overlooking the entire Chang'an City. It is an important gateway to the north of the palace city. Of course, compared with its geographical location, Xuanwumen is most famous for its political and military status. After all, there was only a regime change operation here last year.

In fact, in a few years, a larger and more magnificent building will be built here. That is the famous Daming Palace. You can even see outside Chang'an from standing on it. If nothing else, in Zhenguan for eight years Li Erhui ordered the construction.

"Your Majesty, look at it~! It's that firelight, estimating the distance, it should be flying out of Chang'an City~!"

When he came to the tower of Xuanwu Gate, Zhao Song pointed to the eastern sky and said to Li Er.

"Hmm~!"

Li Er nodded and responded, but his eyes were fixed in that direction without blinking. Zhao Song didn't know why Li Er was looking so intently, but he didn't dare to ask aloud, just lowered his eyebrows. standing by the side.

"Swing back to the palace~!"

After a long time, the flames became smaller and smaller until they were finally invisible. Li Er threw his sleeves, turned around and left, leaving a sentence in the air, but Zhao Song was stunned.

"Tomorrow, after Li Zexuan returns to the city, let him come to see me immediately~!"

Zhao Song frowned and followed behind Li Er, wondering in his heart, "Isn't Li Zexuan still in the workshop now~? Why does Your Majesty wait for him to return to the city tomorrow~?"

……………………

"Left punch, right punch, we all take a punch~!"

Zhao Song is so depressed that Li Zexuan can't control it, this guy is busy wiping his ass for the awesomeness he blew at the beginning~!

First

After the former hot air balloon flew into the sky, he regretted it in his heart, because the wind was blowing from the south tonight, and Qinling was located in the northeast of Chang'an City. This wind direction is not suitable at all~!

If Li Zexuan did nothing and let the big fireball fly freely, he would definitely not be able to reach Snake Spirit Mountain, and would only fly farther and farther north!

Back then, when Kong Ming asked for help from Kongming Lantern, he had already calculated the wind direction, and although Li Zexuan came from a Taoist school, he had not learned the ability to do the math.

This is really a thousand calculations, but one missed calculation!

Fortunately, this guy's brain is still smart, and he thought of the current method: that is to keep punching to the west, punching with true energy, using the recoil force of punching force, combined with the thrust of Nanfeng, Li Zexuan "Driving the ball with people" drifted "limpingly" toward the northeast.

(Partners who have studied force analysis can definitely analyze it)

"Te mother's~! Does this count as a rocket with its own gas tank~?"

Li Zexuan muttered dejectedly while doing physical work at high altitude.

Ahem, I have to say that his description is really apt~!
