241-242 The little daytime fire, the waves are burning for only a million camps

Huangfu Song asked about the good strategies to defeat the enemy.

Zhan Xiaobai was originally helpless, but by chance he caught a glimpse of the red lantern swaying in the wind on the city tower, and a shocking thought flashed through his mind, "Wait, the lower official has a good idea."

Huangfu Song was overjoyed and immediately said, "Say!"

Zhan Xiaobai sorted out the thoughts in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Sir, the enemy is strictly guarding against the arson on the ground of our army within five miles of the city. However, they may not be able to prevent the sky fire from the sky. We can use a special flying lantern to fly over the enemy camp with the help of the wind, and then scatter the sky fire from the sky. In this way, the enemy's defense is unpredictable and will be burned by the fire!"

The Warring States Period was also shocked. Wasn't that Zhuge Liang's Kongming lantern? He suddenly regretted secretly, why didn't he think of this method? Otherwise, this would be a magical achievement.

Huangfu Song asked, "What lantern is so powerful that it can fly five miles away?"

"Hmph, nonsense!"

Zhu Jun did not believe Zhan Xiaobai's words at all, his tone changed, and he sneered, "If the lantern can fly into the sky, the water of the river can flow backwards! However, since this young general came up with this strange strategy, he must know how to make this magical lantern. I will order you to make this lantern that can fly in the sky. It will be a three-day deadline and cannot make this lantern within three days. Don't blame me for turning against me. I will remove the official from the position and investigate it for the crime of deceiving the superior."

Zhan Xiaobai was forced into this Jedi and could only do his best to complete the task. Otherwise, once he left his official position, he would have been in vain in these few months.

He immediately said: "Yes, the officials will receive the order. However, this kind of special lantern must be made with master-level craftsmen. Please allow the officials to use the craftsmen from this city to make flying lanterns."

Zhu Jun didn't say anything.

Huangfu Song immediately allowed and ordered the left and right NPC guards, "Transfer the order of this general and immediately summon all craftsmen at the master level or above in the city to assist the commander Xiaobai in making flying lanterns. No mistakes or delays in the military aircraft. Also, be careful not to leak secrets to prevent enemy spies."

"Yes, sir!"

Several NPC guards responded loudly, hurried down the city, and brought a large group of soldiers to search for craftsmen above the master level in Changshe City. All master level craftsmen, whether they are willing or not, were forcibly recruited by officers and soldiers, and concentrated in a courtyard in the city. The courtyard was forcibly controlled by officers and soldiers, and ordinary people were not allowed to approach. No one knew what this courtyard was to be used for.

The Warring States Period knew that Zhan Xiaobai had a great chance to make this flying lantern and would definitely make a great contribution. Although this main contribution was a white-collar worker in Zhan Xiao, it did not prevent him from gaining money. The Warring States Period immediately volunteered and asked Huangfu Song to allow him to assist Zhan Xiaobai in creating the flying lantern to increase the possibility of success.

Huangfu Song agreed casually.

Zhan Xiaobai and the two of them said goodbye in the Warring States Period. Under the leadership of a close-fitting guard of Huangfu Song, they entered the craftsman's compound and started working. More than ten master-level NPC craftsmen and a master-level craftsman were in the yard, looking very panicked and didn't know what had happened.

The world of Warring States Period widened its eyes. It was hard to see even a master-level craftsman. Unexpectedly, I could see a group of people here at once. Unfortunately, these craftsmen are all in Changshe City, so it would be great if they were in his Warring States Village.

Zhan Xiaobai was not surprised and asked the NPC soldiers to find a large amount of paper, cotton thread, oil, glue, cotton, bamboo strips, wood, and ceramics so that the craftsmen could have the materials to develop flying lanterns.

The principle followed by this flying lantern is the Kongming lantern invented by Zhuge Liang. I will not rob Zhuge Liang of his invention sign here, but it is called the flying lantern. The principle of the flying lantern is very simple. The combustion of the fuel in the lamp causes the hot air in the lamp to expand, the internal gas density is reduced, and the air buoyancy on it is used to take off. When the fuel is exhausted, it will automatically fall.

The flying lantern is not only simple in principle, but also in the manufacturing process, and any ordinary person can work it manually.

However, this is a game and the rules in the game must be followed. Because there are no design drawings for Kongming lanterns, the NPC craftsmen in the game never knew that there is Kongming lanterns, so they naturally would not make them.

If the player does not make the flying lantern skills, the flying lanterns made will not be able to obtain system certification and will be of no use.

The reason why Zhan Xiaobai asked the master-level craftsman to help him make the Kongming lantern was because the master-level NPC craftsman had enough Ai and had the ability to modify, develop, and improve items in the game, and it was very likely to "develop" the Kongming lantern.

With the materials ready, many craftsmen began to "study" how to make this flying lantern. These craftsmen are master craftsmen of different professions, wood, iron, pottery, weapons, tailors, weaving...

One of the NPC master craftsmen has the highest status and is a blacksmith. But he is also very confused and doesn't know how to do it. "This lord has lived for decades and has never seen a flying lantern. I wondered if the lantern could fly by itself, wouldn't it be a monster?"

The masters and craftsmen of NPC nodded and praised the master's correct view. "I have lived my whole life and have seen birds that can fly, and I have never seen anything else fly." "It's really hard for such an incredible lamp."

The craftsmen were clamoring, but no one took action.

The Warring States Period said to Zhan Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, let NPC do it. I think it's better to do it like this. Let them make a lantern first and then improve it on the basis of the lantern. This will be easier."

Zhan Xiaobai thought for a while, "This idea is good. Let's make a simple paper-paste lantern first."

The carpenter volunteered, "I can do lanterns just by little, everyone can see mine!"

The carpenter first used bamboo strips and cross-woven, and weaved a cylindrical bamboo basket with an oil lamp on it. It was made with glue and paper. In ten minutes, a paper-paste lantern was made.

The fire was lit, but the lantern did not fly.

The npc craftsmen immediately shouted proudly, "Look, I said that lanterns can't fly!" "It's strange that we can fly. We have made lanterns for life, but we have never seen anyone fly!"

Zhan Xiaobai smiled faintly and said nothing.

The Warring States Period shook his head and snorted at these NPC craftsmen.

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Okay, don't make noise. Now we will start to improve this lantern. First, increase the lantern, expand four times to more than ten times. Second, reduce the weight, and be as thin as possible. The paper pasted on the lantern should be completely sealed, and the oil lamp inside should not be too heavy. Now start doing it, don't be lazy. If you don't make a flying lamp within three days, I will be dismissed from the ministry and your life will be lost."

The craftsmen were shocked and then they remembered that they were under house arrest by the imperial officers and soldiers. If they could not complete the task, they would be lifeless. They quickly transformed the lanterns according to Zhan Xiaobai's request.

The craftsmen worked together to make five or six lanterns of different sizes, but none of them successfully flew. The world of the Warring States Period was anxious and told them personally what to do and improve.

Zhan Xiaobai is not in a hurry.

Let the craftsmen continue to reduce the weight of the lanterns and increase the firepower of the oil. Because he knew that there was a critical point whether the lantern could fly: when the buoyancy was greater than the gravity, the lantern could fly; when the gravity was greater than the buoyancy, the lantern could not fly.

When the lantern is light enough and the firepower is strong enough, it will naturally fly up - from a technical point of view, this group of master-level craftsmen definitely have enough technology to complete this simple task.

Sure enough, the craftsmen made a big lantern the size of a water tank. After a craftsman carefully lit the oil lamp inside, the big lantern moved, shaking, and quieted for a while, and finally floated slowly with difficulty.

More than a dozen master-level craftsmen were stunned and collectively stopped. Suddenly, one of the NPCs was so scared that they screamed, and the other NPCs were so scared that they screamed.

"Oh my god, it's a ghost possessed lantern!"

"Help, the monster is here!"

Some crawled under the table and shivered, some took a wooden frame to cover themselves, some foamed at the mouth, and their eyes flipped, and they were so scared that they fainted on the ground just now.

The flying lantern did not fly away, but it was blocked when it flew to the roof.

Zhan Xiaobai didn't have time to pay attention to them and came to the lantern to watch.

Flying lantern: a level 20 item, some mysterious lantern, able to fly. The last flight time: 3 minutes, the flight altitude: 200 meters.

Zhan Xiaobai nodded with satisfaction, "The first flying lantern has finally been successfully manufactured. It seems that the firebo is already hopeful!"

The world of the Warring States Period was also very happy, "Xiaobai, we have made a great contribution. Should we notify Huangfu Song and Zhu Yan immediately? Let them come and have a look?"

Zhan Xiaobai shook his head and said, "No! This is just a primary test piece, and it is far from meeting the requirements of actual combat. The flying lanterns must be able to carry enough charcoal and oil, and fly five miles away with the wind. Therefore, their flight distance must be increased. It is not too late to notify Huangfu Song and Zhu Yan when the development is successful. Call the craftsmen first and continue to improve the lanterns! Try to develop a flying lantern that is practical."

The Warring States Period felt that this was the same, so there was no need to rush to inform NPC. He immediately pulled out the NPC craftsmen who were hiding everywhere and were trembling in fear and asked them to improve the flying lantern.

The craftsmen were frightened by this "magical" flying lantern. Their ai could not understand this magic and almost knelt down and kowtowed. When they saw Zhan Xiaobai and the world of the Warring States Period, they seemed to see the gods descending to earth. They worshiped each other and were shocked.

If the Warring States Period hadn't put the sword on their necks and forced them to take action, I was afraid that they would never dare to touch the lantern again.

With the experience of the first flying lantern, three hours later, twenty flying lanterns of different sizes were successfully developed. The small one was only the size of a football, and the large one was about half a room. The flying lanterns were flying for more than 10 minutes, which was enough to float five miles away. In addition, their flight stability and carrying capacity were also different.

Due to the lack of sufficient tests, the wind force in the field may change at any time. Therefore, it is impossible to guarantee which flying light can reach the Bocai Army camp five miles away in actual combat.

Zhan Xiaobai decided to let the craftsmen produce these twenty different models of flying lanterns at the same time. As long as one of the models works and flies over the Bocai Army, the fire attack will be successful.

At this time, it was almost 2 to 3 o'clock before dawn.

Zhan Xiaobai asked Huangfu Song's guards to lead troops to gather the craftsmen in the city and began to manufacture these twenty different models and specifications of flying lanterns on a large scale. In addition, he sent people to notify Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun that the flying lantern was successfully developed.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Juner rushed to the craftsman's compound and saw the lantern flying up with their own eyes, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Huangfu Song couldn't help but feel happy, and his beard trembled, "Okay, give it all your strength, the more the better!"

Zhu Jun also smiled and stroked his beard, saying, "This lantern can fly, but how can it burn the thief?"

Zhan Xiaobai explained: "Sir. After the fuel in the wick in the lamp is exhausted, the flying lantern will automatically fall. The bottom of the lamp is also carried a small amount of charcoal and oil. Once the flying lantern falls, the charcoal and oil will make the entire flying lantern burn, making the fire group fall into the enemy's camp."

"Okay! Speed ​​up production!"

.........

At night, a group of more than 200 players in Changshe City were all destroyed and returned to Changshe City. Although they were full of courage and extremely adventurous, this spirit was not enough to make them successfully break out.

The players of the Yellow Turban camp had enough reason to be proud. Because they had already expected what the imperial players in the city wanted to do, they prepared quite well for this. They mobilized all the NPC forces in their hands and built a terrifying line of defense inside and outside the Yellow Turban camp.

This line of defense is extremely shameless.

Players in the imperial camp absolutely cannot imagine that five miles away from Changshe City were actually five defense lines that were ten meters wide, surrounding the entire Changshe City, with dense traps, gullies, horse resistance, and hidden stakes. Each defense line had tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers patrolling all night.

The defense line is rigorously laid out and can't leak.

Not to mention humans, even rats don't want to sneak out, it's enough to call it the Super Maginot Line. There is no item that can catch fire within the line of defense. With this line of defense, the imperial army could not launch a fire attack on them at all.

In addition, the Yellow Turban players mobilized countless NPC soldiers to try their best to eliminate the weeds growing rapidly in the entire Yellow Turban camp and reduce the possibility of fire. By doing this, they could proudly shout at the imperial army in Changshe City: "If you have a species, send someone to burn it. Who is afraid of whom! If you can still burn it like this, then we will jump into the Yellow River."

......

At around four o'clock on the eve of dawn, it was also the darkest time in the wilderness outside Changshe City. There were almost no stars or any light, only the sound of crickets in the grass, as well as the sound of NPC Yellow Turban soldiers sleeping soundly, or the alert eyes lurking in the grass.

Changshe City is as quiet as it is.

Only the cold night wind is blowing, and the wind is not too strong or too small. It is suitable for using the wind.

A flying lantern floated up, adding a firefly to the sky of Changshe City.

Another cup, another cup, three or five cups, seven or eight cups, dozens of cups, the number is increasing rapidly, and the stars are dotted.

One hundred, one thousand, five thousand, tens of thousands, swaying and drifting with the wind... The sky of the entire Changshe City was as bright as the burning sun, and the dense red light illuminated the sky within a few miles.

There has never been any scenery that can make the players in the game feel so shocked. Even the galloping battle of thousands of troops does not give the players even more intense shock at this moment.

Even players and NPCs who are dozens of miles away are shocked and intoxicated by this incredible, magical, and beautiful, almost charming late-night beauty.

Players who were sleeping in a daze and peeing saw this shocking beauty, intuitively turned on the in-game video function, and began to photograph this beauty. What they didn't know was that they were faithfully recording a piece of history and a piece of history that affected the game.

"Get up quickly, brothers, watch the night view of thousands of lights!"

"Look, it's so beautiful!"

Outside Changshe City, a small number of Yellow Turban players who were not asleep discovered this beautiful scene. They shouted excitedly, and quickly woke up all the nearby players and friends, wanting to share the most beautiful scene with their brothers or girlfriends.
To be continued...
