Chapter 531 Flying!
The surroundings were silent, only the slight sound of the flames burning.
The witch widened his eyes and widened his mouth, revealing his gaping teeth, the stone widened his mouth, widened his eyes, and lamely widened his mouth...
Those who watched the miracle around were all stunned and unbelievable.
Of course not after the stone let go, the Kongming lantern fell and was burned directly.
The Kongming Lantern did not fall, and basically maintained its original position after the stone let go, slowly shaking at a distance of ten centimeters from the ground.
But it didn't fly either.
The pottery bowl containing the fireball stayed on the ground and moved a few times before it stopped moving.
As a result, Han Cheng basically had a prediction before there was any experiment.
It's not that he said this to cover up his embarrassment at this time, but he was really ready for the Kongming Lantern to fly.
After all, this time, to a large extent, it was to prove whether the method he thought was feasible.
The sackcloth soaked in turpentine kept burning, and when it was about to go out, a leather rope on the side was burnt.
Such a result is within Han Cheng's acceptance range.
Although the Kongming Lantern did not fly and the rope was burnt, it proved the feasibility of this road.
What needs to be done next is just to continue to improve on this basis.
The way to improve is to make the flame bowl bigger and lighter.
Larger is to hold a larger ball of burlap, ignite a larger flame, provide more energy, and at the same time keep the leather cord on the rim of the bowl away from the flame.
Lighter is to reduce the burden on the Kongming Lantern, so that it can better expand to the sky.
Making the bowl bigger and lighter might sound like an oxymoron.
Because the bowl is made of pottery, as the size increases, the weight will inevitably increase.
At this time, it is time to test the skill of Hei Wa, a master pottery maker.
After Han Cheng reached out and broke a rope,
Hold the Kongming Lantern, which has become a little tilted, with your hands to prevent it from being burned by the fire below.
In a short period of time, it is not easy to find two snakes of this size to paste the Kongming lanterns after peeling their skins.
Looking at the few people around who all closed their mouths and tried to put on a calm expression, but their faces were a little distorted, Han Cheng couldn't help sniffling.
'These guys...'
The stone who came back to his senses was extremely doggy, and hurried over to hold the Kongming Lantern instead of Han Cheng.
Although the Kongming Lantern did not soar into the sky as he imagined, which made him very disappointed, but he really saw the pottery bowl on the ground being moved a few times just now.
It was these few blows that gave him great hope.
Generally, people who can do amazing things have a strong temperament, and perseverance is a must for them.
Although during this process, I was also crushed by embarrassing tears, but after wiping away the tears, I will still work hard in the direction I want.
Stone is undoubtedly one of these people.
Since Han Cheng's Cowherd and Weaver Girl dreamed of flying into the sky a few years ago, this guy has never stopped wanting to go to heaven.
Although I have experienced many twists and turns, I don't know how much suffering I have experienced, but I never thought of giving up.
He could persist in the previous situation, not to mention seeing hope from Han Cheng now!
Han Cheng was very surprised by Shi Shi's reaction. He thought he had to explain a few more words, but he thought about it himself.
Han Cheng smiled with satisfaction. Judging from Shi Shi's reaction, he felt that it was not impossible to see hot air balloons floating in the sky of primitive society in his lifetime.
He just talked nonsense at the moment, and after handing the Kongming lantern to the stone to hold it, he grabbed two handfuls of soil from the ground and threw it into the pottery bowl to extinguish the fire inside.
Then he brought Shishi and Wu, a relatively free person, to find Hei Wa to make a new bowl.
Lame also wanted to follow to have a look, but after turning his head to look at the broken farm tools, he still didn't follow out, but repaired here with the other two.
Naturally, Heiwa didn't say anything about her craftsmanship. After hearing Han Cheng's request, she immediately patted her chest and promised that she would definitely do this job well.
Then the soil and mud started to dry.
Stone, who had little interest in pottery making, watched seriously from the sidelines, and wanted to intervene from time to time.
The smooth stone slab below is constantly turning in circles, and the shapeless mud quickly becomes regular under the movement of Hei Wa's hands...
There are several specifications for the newly made mud embryos, including the enlarged and thinned version of the normal bowl, and the open bowl that is half shallower than the normal bowl, and it exists directly like a small pan.
Compared with a bowl of the same weight, a pan generally has a larger area and can accommodate more sackcloth stained with a lot of turpentine, which may provide more updraft for Kongming lanterns.
After the clay embryo is ready, it cannot be burned directly. Even if you are in a hurry, you need to dry it next to the fire before going to the kiln to burn it.
Shi Shi squatted here and refused to leave, closely watching Hei Wa's every move.
These are things that are directly related to Feitian, so he is naturally very concerned, and even picked up mud and started to learn how to make pottery from Heiwa.
Han Cheng watched here for a while, seeing that Heiwa and the others made a good looking pottery, and the pottery could not be fired today, so he turned and went back to the tribe, and then went to dig a hole to build his stone flower bed.
Everyone has their own things to do, don't they?
The flame was burning, and a high heat was transferred out. The blue smoke mixed with the heated and expanded airflow, flew upwards, and poured into the Kongming lantern.
The connecting rope was tense, and the thin pan-like thing connected underneath shook a few times.
Under the watchful eyes of the stone, who clenched his fists tightly and forgot to breathe nervously, the plate, which had been shaking for a while, finally left the ground with difficulty and slowly floated upwards.
The eyes of the few people around were firmly attracted by the Kongming lantern, and moved up with the slowly rising Kongming lantern.
It took a while for their eyes to move up to the level of the top of their heads, and after staying there for a while, they began to descend again.
When the eyes were completely moved to the lowest point, without Han Cheng's instructions, the stone consciously held the snakeskin Kongming lantern with his hands.
Han Cheng on the side grabbed a few handfuls of soil and covered up the lingering flames.
Shitou, Wu, Lie, Heiwa and other people who participated in the great experiment of flying into the sky were very excited. The things they participated in making really flew!
Han Cheng was not as happy as they were, because he let the Kongming lantern fly by himself.
Kongming lanterns can fly very high into the night sky, similar to stars.
The one in the tribe is just over the top of the head, the difference is too far, for him, there is really not much to be happy about.
He picked up a grass stalk casually, and pulled out the still smoking sackcloth.
This is one of the reasons why Kongming lanterns do not fly high.
