I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

It's just that Zhang Nuo, who is very familiar with Li Shimin, seems to have seen a glimmer of joy in Li Shimin's eyes just now?

Zhang Nuo didn't guarantee that what he saw was correct, but at least he guessed that Li Shimin should have received some good news.

Not long after, all the generals came in one by one, and stood in the first place under Zhang Nuo.

Although Zhang Nuo has such a nondescript title as the Chief Superintendent of Grain and Grass, he is the highest among all of them in terms of rank.

At the same time, he won the battle of Koryo, and he has a lot of prestige in the army.Therefore, everyone is honest about standing under him.

When the drum beat stopped, Li Shimin opened his eyes in an instant, looked at the fierce general in front of him, and nodded silently. This is his team. He has followed him since the Sui Dynasty until now, and he is invincible and invincible.

Looking at the gang of veterans in front of him, Li Shimin said in a deep voice,

"Just now I received a report from Li Jing. It is said that other troops have found traces of the Turks. I summoned you to let you know that war is imminent!"

"From now on, all the soldiers will rest on Godardan. After the generals go back, they will immediately pack up and leave the camp. I will move closer to Li Jing's department first, and then wait for the latest news at any time. Once the Turkic department is confirmed. Cover up and kill the past!"

Including Zhang Nuo, when all the generals heard Li Shimin's order, they hit their left chest with a fist and chanted loudly.

Don't look at the group of generals and Zhang Nuo who are all laughing and joking on weekdays, but when it comes time to get down to business, no one dares to delay.

After all, this is not a joke, not to mention that there is no room for a little joke in this military matter, if you just use your own future and reputation to die, you are afraid that you will really die yourself.

Zhang Nuo couldn't be idle at this time, he had to supply the ministries based on their current grain and grass reserves.

After all, the situation of food and grass is very different during wartime and on the way to the army. When marching on weekdays, anyway, there is a human truck like Zhang Nuo, so everyone tries to keep as little food and grass in the army as possible, so that they don’t have to go out. Too many civilian husbands and auxiliary soldiers.

But now that the war is about to start, if Zhang Nuo doesn't even know where Zhang Nuo is at that time, and if he doesn't get some food and grass ready, he probably won't have to cry at that time.

So, Zhang Nuo almost spent the day in the car.

Cao Xing drove, and Zhang Nuo was in charge of going to the place. With a wave of his hand, he released a certain amount of food and grass, and then waited for the other party to check and sign for the receipt, and then quickly rushed to the next place, wandering around the entire camp in circles.

For a whole day, Zhang Nuo ran around like a headless chicken in the chaotic camp, and it was not enough if he didn't jump up, because all the ministries were looking for him.

After all, the food and grass are all with him. Although they are going to start soon, but once there is a war, everyone may divide the army. Shouldn't they bring the food and grass by themselves?

When everyone is gathered together, the food and grass can naturally be placed on Zhang Nuo, and he can deliver it even if he tosses back and forth, but if everyone divides the army, how can Zhang Nuo deliver it?Is it possible to fly from the sky?

This is not the first time Zhang Nuo has been on the battlefield. At this time, he saw tens of thousands of people rushing back and forth in the camp to pack their luggage and weapons. tent.

He needs to take a good rest. Tomorrow, nine times out of ten, he will be stationed near Li Jing's department, and then he will be completely ready for battle, and then he will not be able to get a good night's sleep.

After a night of no dreams, Zhang Nuo got up early, Cao Xing got up earlier than him, and now he was holding his armor and waiting for him to put on it.

Although Zhang Nuo's armor is a new product from his own arsenal, it is still the style of this era after all. It is nothing more than an improvement in the material, so it is still very troublesome to wear. If no one helps, this armor is really good. Just can't put it on.Of course, if there is no one to help, it will be troublesome to take it off.

Zhang Nuo skillfully shook his shoulders, and after feeling that the armor didn't affect his activities too much, he turned and walked out of the tent.

Naturally, he doesn't need to tidy up his tent himself. He has put the whole bed in the system warehouse, and he is sure to take it out when he sleeps at night, so that the heat in the bed will still be gone.

As for the tents outside, Cao Xing, as a professional and versatile guard commander, will naturally lead the guards to pack up quickly.

Zhang Nuo went to the handsome tent first, and after listening to Li Shimin ramble a few words about today's precautions, he turned around and prepared to get into his car and leave.

But before they got in the car, they heard the whole camp like a frying pan, and there were bursts of exclamations, and the exclamations became louder and louder, and in the end it was like a landslide and tsunami.

Li Shimin came out when he heard this sound. The commander in the army has always been most worried about bombing the camp. Once the entire camp is bombed and the camp roars, it is really not everyone who can hold it steady.

The two brothers looked at each other with confused faces, and after being reminded by others, they discovered that in the sky directly above, a huge black monster with his skull-head cottage flag painted on it was slowly moving. Fly towards here.

Zhang Nuo shook his head speechlessly, Turkic might really die this time, he even used a sledgehammer to kill a chicken!

Chapter 685

Li Shimin was the first to react after Zhang Nuo.Of course, he didn't know that the airship would come today, but he knew that no one in the world could make such a miraculous thing except his foster brother.

Of course, there is another important reason because the conspicuous sign on the airship has already explained it, that is the flag of Heifengzhai that Zhang Nuo made back then.

Known as the No. [-] bandit gang in the Tianzi of the Tang Dynasty, there is also a slogan called "Heifeng goes out to fight, no grass will grow". The battle of Goryeo is not so much the King of Qin leading his private army to fight against Goryeo, it is better to say that it is the gang of Heifengzhai The bandits are looting Goryeo.

Didn't you see that Goryeo was ransacked all the way, and even everyone was captured as slaves and sold?

What the hell is it if it's not a bandit?

However, it's been a long time since I saw this skull flag!

Zhang Nuo was looking at the sky with his mouth open at this time, mother, these sun thieves really drove directly to the camp, but why did they paint it in black, handsome is handsome, but this It's too eye-catching to fly in the sky.

But this is not the time to complain, first let these people find a suitable place to come down.

Just in time, isn't it time to break out of the camp today? After the large tents were dismantled, there would be plenty of open space. Zhang Nuo raised his hand and took out a flare gun from the space.

Zhang Nuo had used this thing for many people when he was in Korea, mainly for the purpose of repaying credit, as long as he had been in Korea with some seniority, he would not be unfamiliar with this thing.

"boom……"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a small ball of light that exudes a particularly dazzling light even in the daytime flew straight towards the sky.

Not disappointing Zhang Nuo, the steampunk-painted airship immediately turned its head and flew towards this side after seeing the signal flare.

They knew very well that the one who could take out this thing was either His Highness King Qin or His Majesty. It was impossible for anyone else to get this kind of thing. Anyway, they were all their own people, so they walked this way.

The landing of the airship is very troublesome, especially when it is about to land, even the anchor has to be dropped several times in a row. Zhang Nuo directed the people to smash the anchor directly into the ground. When the cabin door opened, a haggard-looking middle-aged man jumped down and walked towards Zhang Nuo quickly.

Zhang Nuo looked at Xu Bowen who hadn't seen him for several months, and suddenly sighed silently in his heart, this grandson really did it.

Zhang Nuo didn't know how much Xu Bowen had suffered, and he didn't know what methods he used to solve the problems that occurred because his technical level was not up to scratch.

But at least, when Xu Bowen appeared in front of him, he was able to prove that Xu Bowen really made the airship according to his own ideas.

Based on this alone, Zhang Nuo had to admit that this kid is really awesome!

Li Shimin's eyes are about to fall out right now, what the hell is this? Doesn't it mean that only hot air balloons are available now? What is this behemoth?

Why can this thing fly?

Why is this thing so big?

How many people can this thing hold?

How much cargo can this thing hold?

Did this thing fly from Goryeo?

Can this thing carry an army?

How much does this thing cost?

……

There were too many questions, and Li Shimin felt that he was about to become a million whys, but at this time Xu Bowen was saluting to him and Zhang Nuo, and a large group of sergeants and generals were all looking at him with their necks stretched out.

Therefore, in order to maintain his majestic image, Li Shimin almost tried his best to suppress the problem.

Then when he was about to pull Zhang Nuo and Xu Bowen into the commander's tent to ask for clarification, Zhang Nuo waved his hand very lightly, pulled Xu Bowen to the airship, and told him directly that he would go straight ahead Reconcile when camping?

Mother, Zhang Nuo, are you going to die?

Right now Li Shimin really wants to kill his brother-in-law as soon as possible, isn't he very considerate on weekdays, don't you see that I really want to know the mystery of this thing?

Why can't you just talk to me.

I know that I'm really going to go now, but why can't you drag me up together?

Not safe?

Would you go up if it's not safe?

Damn, Li Shimin knows it. Zhang Nuo is just trying to whet his appetite and greedy him. He has to hold back. Anyway, we will meet again in the evening. When that time comes, everyone will talk about it. .

Li Shimin almost gritted his teeth and left, his face was gloomy as if he had just put on makeup and was about to act in a ghost movie, but Zhang Nuo simply pretended he didn't see it.

Just kidding, this is a big crowd, and the army is about to move out, can you explain it to Li Shimin slowly?

Besides, Zhang Nuo was actually full of question marks himself, so he didn't have the heart to argue with Li Shimin here, he better go up and figure it out first.

Cao Xing is proud now. His majesty can't even go up to the magical object. As the commander of the guards of the Qin Palace, he followed Zhang Nuo uprightly. It's wonderful!

Look at the envious eyes around, hahaha, it's so cool!

But what can this group of people do?

Even His Majesty didn't have a chance to come up. Could it be that you can still disobey His Highness King Qin at this moment? Hmph, don't look at us as bodyguards, drivers and part-time jobs, but can you imagine our benefits?

Hahaha, cool!

Cao Xing's last airship just walked out of a majestic and high-spirited look, and Hao Erlang was full of courage, that battle was awesome!

Zhang Nuo was not in the mood to pay attention to other people at the moment. After boarding the airship, Xu Bowen immediately arranged for people to pull the anchor and set sail. At the same time, he introduced the various facilities to Zhang Nuo with a smile.

In Zhang Nuo's two lives, let alone sitting, he has never even seen a serious airship, but he has read a lot of various materials, so he will not show timidity. Following in the footsteps of Xu Bowen, the airship In the process of slowly lifting into the air, I watched everywhere.

The entire airship looks particularly scary in appearance, but in fact that is because of the airbag on the top. After all, that thing is really big in terms of volume.

But if you only calculate the area of ​​the passenger cabin, cargo warehouse, and mechanical cabin below, it can only be said to be average.

However, after walking around for a while, Zhang Nuo was truly proud of Xu Bowen. This kid really used his own whimsy and existing conditions to create an exceptionally good airship!

And judging from the fact that the first flight was able to fly thousands of miles from Koryo, it seems to be really successful!

Chapter 686 The first reward for Xu Bowen

For this unnamed airship, Xu Bowen is undoubtedly very proud and proud. After all, he led people to build it step by step. Only they themselves know how much hard work and hardships they have experienced.

However, Zhang Nuo could feel it from the few words he introduced, and the process would definitely not be easy.

Looking at the gradually shrinking camp outside the window, Zhang Nuo sat down on a chair, and then motioned Xu Bowen to sit opposite. They were finally going to have a serious chat about the airship, and Zhang Nuo really had Quite a lot to know.

Xu Bowen naturally knew everything about Zhang Nuo's inquiry.After all, Zhang Nuo is not only his superior, but also a technical guidance consultant!

Xu Bowen has recently felt a kind of loneliness, not the kind of loneliness where there is no one around him, but when his knowledge, knowledge, and insights have grown to a certain level, it is almost difficult to find suitable people to communicate with.

After all, not everyone has his talent. Maybe there are such people, but they don't have the opportunity to learn, experience and personally study the most advanced and cutting-edge technology in the world.

However, if there is anyone in this world who can communicate and discuss with him without any obstacles, then His Royal Highness Prince Qin must be one of them. Xu Bowen is absolutely sure of this.

Therefore, he should not have come for this test flight according to the safety procedures. After all, if he dies due to an accident, the whole project will come to a standstill again.

But he couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to communicate with His Highness face to face.At the same time, he also has a mind, just to let His Highness see that the project he has been insisting on has really achieved results.

So, before Zhang Nuo could ask, Xu Bowen himself started talking.

"Your Highness, we rebuilt this airship based on your blueprint. The first thing we did was to replace all the materials!"

"Since the aluminum metal you mentioned is not easy to find or smelt, let's change it. We have thought about it carefully. What we need is actually a light weight and very strong material, but it is not It must be metal!"

"When I went home that day, I happened to find that the carpentry research team next door found a high-quality wood, which was even more suitable than we thought. Our project took a big step forward in an instant!"

"The weight of this kind of wood is not very scary, but it not only meets the standard of hardness, but also has toughness, and it is not difficult to process. It is definitely the best alternative material in a short time!"

"At the same time, there seems to be a lot of this kind of wood called pig iron wood in northern Goryeo, so we don't have to worry about materials at all!"

Zhang Nuo felt a little bit wrong when he heard this. What kind of wood is this Nima? It is light in weight, high in hardness, and tough?Is there such a powerful wood?

You know, don’t look at the principle of the airship, which is very simple to say, that is, use a large balloon that is lighter than air to lift a cabin, and then use the engine to blow the entire balloon away.

It seems as simple as having a hand, but in fact, when Zhang Nuo was still in Korea, the first problem Xu Bowen encountered was what kind of material should be used to make the airbag on the top weigh the airbag below when it was fully loaded. The cabin weighing dozens of tons was hoisted.

That's right, this is really just a small detail in the construction process, but it's such a detail that Xu Bowen's scalp is almost scratched.

At that time, Zhang Nuo just said lightly that it would be easy to deal with electrolytic aluminum in the future. One-time molding and welding technology, this kind of problem is actually not a big problem.

But after Zhang Nuo left, Xu Bowen couldn't just wait for the electrolytic aluminum to come out, so he thought of a simple way, adding a keel and a rope.

The various troubles in the middle will not be repeated here, but Xu Bowen really solved the load problem through such a seemingly simple but very complicated operation.

The second big problem is the airtightness of the cabin that Zhang Nuo has been worried about.

As soon as this question was asked, Xu Bowen obviously scratched his itch. He laughed a few times before proudly saying,

"Your Highness, this entire cabin is actually made of wood and iron sheets. Didn't the casting team have a technology from you? Use a roller to grind the iron sheets into thin sheets, which can be used to make kettles or something!"

"We found this technology, and at the same time made the iron sheet a little thinner, and then the inside is a wooden cabin with mortise and tenon joints, and the outside is an iron-clad wood shell, and at the same time, it is equipped with an anti-leakage air pressure isolation chamber and a double anti-leakage chamber. door, this problem is basically solved!"

"Of course, we have painted the wooden cabins with mortise and tenon structure, so the airtightness is really good!"

Zhang Nuo nodded in relief, and understood that these people really created a miracle with the simplest means.

In fact, he had just discovered during his visit that the different compartments are not directly accessible. You have to open a door first, then enter a small isolation compartment, then open the opposite door, and then enter another compartment. Cabin, this is to prevent different air pressure leakage between different cabins.

Moreover, he also discovered just now that there are many strange machines in the rear warehouse, presumably they were remodeled or even manufactured by these people for various functions.

Although there is still a lot of room for improvement in this airship, and there are still many problems in terms of practicality, but I have to say that the current situation alone is enough for Zhang Nuo to be satisfied.
