Time Travel: The First Female Imperial Teacher of the Qin Dynasty

That afternoon, Lin Anlan found Ying Zheng and asked him for 1000 craftsmen and 2000 soldiers. In addition, Lin Anlan also asked him to prepare a large amount of cloth, bamboo strips, hemp ropes, candles, oil and other supplies.

Ying Zheng gave the order to execute without hesitation.

The next morning, Lin Anlan brought 1000 craftsmen and 2000 soldiers to an open area.

"Everyone, today we are going to make something. This thing is called a hot air balloon and it can fly into the sky." Lin Anlan pointed to a huge object beside him.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, with a look of disbelief.

"I know you find it incredible, but this is the truth. I need 100 brave soldiers to try first, and the rest will make hot air balloons and parachutes according to my instructions."

Lin Anlan's eyes swept over the crowd.

"Master Lin, can we really fly into the sky?" a soldier couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, you can fly into the sky." Lin Anlan nodded.

"I'm willing to try!"

"I do too!"

"..."

Soon, 100 brave soldiers stood up.

"Very good." Lin Anlan nodded with satisfaction.

"Remember, if the hot air balloon is damaged, you must jump out of it immediately, pull this rope, and open the parachute. The parachute will bring you down slowly to ensure your safety."

Lin Anlan pointed at the parachute on the hot air balloon and gave serious instructions.

"promise!"

100 soldiers responded in unison.

"The rest of you, start making hot air balloons and parachutes."

Lin Anlan looked at the remaining 900 craftsmen and 1900 soldiers.

"promise!"

Everyone responded loudly and then got busy.

Lin Anlan stood aside, watching everyone quietly. She knew that it was not easy to perfectly make a hot air balloon with the ancient technology and craftsmanship.

But she was not in a hurry. She believed that as long as these craftsmen were given enough time, they would be able to make a perfect hot air balloon.

……

Time passed, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Lin Anlan, with 1000 craftsmen and 2000 soldiers, built a total of 6 hot air balloons and hundreds of parachutes. As for the remaining cloth, bamboo strips, hemp ropes and other materials, they were enough to build another 5 hot air balloons and more than 800 parachutes.

This is already a pretty amazing speed.

You know, even with modern technology, it takes several days to build a hot air balloon. But Lin Anlan and his team built six hot air balloons and hundreds of parachutes in just three days, which is a terrifying efficiency.

"Your Majesty, we have built six hot air balloons and hundreds of parachutes."

Lin Anlan came to Ying Zheng and reported the results to him.

"Very good." Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

"Girl, how do you plan to use these hot air balloons?" Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan, his eyes full of curiosity.

"We can take a hot air balloon to Sushen's weak point and then launch a surprise attack." Lin Anlan smiled slightly.

"Sushen's weak spot?"

Ying Zheng frowned slightly when he heard this.

"To the west of Sushen is the Xiongnu, to the north is the Donghu, and to the south is our Great Qin. However, to the east of Sushen is endless mountains and forests. We can take a hot air balloon to their east and catch them off guard," Lin Anlan explained.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Girl, this is a great idea. When do we set off?" Ying Zheng looked at Lin Anlan, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Early tomorrow morning." Lin Anlan smiled slightly.

"Okay, I'll wait and see." Ying Zheng's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Your Majesty, just wait and see. Today I will show you how humans conquer the sky."

The next morning, Lin Anlan began to act.

She lit the bellows to inflate the hot air balloon, which was about ten meters long and connected with ropes. Because there was no gas tank, Lin Anlan put compressed coal in a wooden basket.

However, as the strong wind blew, the hot air balloon suddenly generated terrifying buoyancy.

Several soldiers pulling the rope suddenly felt a sense of difficulty, and this scene shocked everyone present.

They had never seen anything like it.

"This this……"

Ying Zheng's eyes widened, full of shock.

"Your Majesty, the reason why hot air balloons can fly is because hot air is lighter than cold air, so hot air rises and cold air falls. The air in the hot air balloon is hot, so it will rise and carry us flying." Lin Anlan explained.

"So that's how it is." Ying Zheng suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty, let me introduce you to parachutes."

Lin Anlan walked to a wooden basket, opened the lid, and revealed a strange device inside.

"Is this a parachute?" Ying Zheng looked at the device in front of him curiously.

"Yes. If the hot air balloon is damaged, the soldiers can jump out of it immediately, pull the rope, and open the parachute. The parachute will bring them down slowly to ensure their safety."

"I see."

Ying Zheng suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty, we can select some soldiers and try to fly in a hot air balloon." Lin Anlan looked at Ying Zheng.

"Okay." Ying Zheng nodded.

Lin Anlan immediately selected fifteen soldiers and divided them into two groups of five, each riding two hot air balloons. These soldiers were experienced warriors, equipped with Qin crossbows and various hidden weapons.

"Remember, if the hot air balloon is damaged, you must jump out of it immediately, pull this rope, and open the parachute. The parachute will bring you down slowly to ensure your safety."

Lin Anlan pointed at the parachute on the hot air balloon and gave serious instructions.

"promise!"

Fifteen soldiers responded in unison.

"You are all brave warriors. I am waiting for your triumphant return." Ying Zheng looked at the fifteen soldiers and said in a deep voice.

"We will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations!" Fifteen soldiers knelt on one knee with serious expressions.

"General Han, you have rich experience in leading troops, so you will lead the team this time." Lin Anlan looked at Han Xin.

"promise!"

A glimmer of excitement flashed in Han Xin's eyes. He had long wanted to experience the feeling of flying in the sky.

"set off!"

At Lin Anlan's command, fifteen soldiers immediately boarded the hot air balloon.

"ignition!"

Lin Anlan gave the order again.

Suddenly, flames rose, and the hot air balloon slowly rose into the air. Gradually, the hot air balloon rose higher and higher, eventually reaching 100 meters, 200 meters... until 500 meters. Looking at the hot air balloon in the sky, everyone was shocked. At an altitude of 500 meters, they had become a small black dot.

"General Han, you can try to control the hot air balloon to hover in the air." Lin Anlan reminded loudly.

"promise!"

Han Xin responded and began to control the hot air balloon.

Soon, the hot air balloon circled in the air for several circles and then slowly landed on the ground.

"Your Majesty, it's successful!" Lin Anlan looked at Ying Zheng with excitement.

"Success!" Ying Zheng was also excited.

"The Great Qin Air Force is unparalleled in the world!" Meng Yi looked fanatical.
