Chapter 419 The King's Instructions: Failure is the Mother of Success

The huge "Eye of the Lord God" rises from the red altar of Shenwei University, carrying the mark of the Lord God of the Sun Hummingbird, and floats towards the sky that belongs to the gods. On the ground, thousands of pairs of wide-open eyes, full of surprise and awe, looked up at this flight destined to be recorded in history!

At this time, the vast school grounds were silent. Everyone was waiting for the hot air balloon to take off, like dark clouds waiting for thunder, and like night waiting for dawn.

Shulot stood on the altar and also raised his head. He watched the hot air balloon rise higher and higher, with uncontrollable anticipation on his face. The knowledgeable priest Chimer next to him clenched his fingers and calculated nervously.

"Thirty meters! The Eye of the Lord God has risen to thirty meters! It is on the same level as Akata Minor in the royal capital."

"Fifty meters! It has risen to fifty meters! It is level with Dayakata"

"Ah! It surpassed Dayakata and is still rising!"

Under the effect of sufficient buoyancy, the hot air balloon climbs steadily upward. Soon, the huge hot air balloon surpassed all the buildings in the capital, surpassed the hills around the capital, and continued to fly into the sky! And in the bamboo basket under the hot air balloon, a not-fat turkey poked its head out, looking in horror at the farther and farther ground. It was motionless, not even daring to spread its wings, like a petrified turkey sculpture.

"Such a big ball actually flew up?!"

The girl Elaine stared blankly at the sky, and also turned into a petrified sculpture. She muttered to herself, in disbelief. After a few breaths, the girl closed her eyes, bit her lips hard, and then opened them again. The red "Eye of the Lord God" is still rising and getting smaller, even as big as her fist, and it seems that it can be grasped in the palm of the hand with just a light grip.

Yi Lian stretched out her hand subconsciously, first scratched her hair, and then held the hot air balloon above her head. Then, she suddenly had a strong urge to learn.

"I want to study hard and master the mysteries of the gods! Fly to the sky!"

"More than a hundred meters! Praise the Lord God! The mystery that guides us to fly!"

Chimer shouted excitedly. Hearing his shout, the craftsmen on the altar also shouted and prayed together, and then hundreds of apprentices on the school grounds. In an instant, thunder broke out, dawn broke, and boiling cheers echoed in the school grounds.

"Praise the Lord God! God bless the kingdom!!"

A smile bloomed on Shulot's mouth. He raised his arms, enjoying the cheers of the crowd, and enjoying the achievements of exploration. This kind of satisfaction from the soul is by no means comparable to ordinary happiness! At this moment, the king was absolutely convinced that he had created history with his own hands!

"Respected Lord Suzerain, the released rope exceeded 150 meters, and the Lord God's Eye finally stopped!"

Chimel's fingers trembled excitedly, and he even stuttered when he spoke. As the responsible divine priest, he personally participated in the making of the hot air balloon. At this moment, compared with the people watching, Chimel's face showed more self-confidence and pride from the bottom of his heart.

The huge hot air balloon rose for several minutes, bringing up a rope weighing 10 to 20 kilograms, and the buoyancy and weight finally reached a balance. The eyes of the gods stopped steadily over the capital of King Qincongcan, turning into red eyes in the sky. It silently watched the entire capital, like the real eye of the main god!

"The Lord God is coming!"

"A miracle has come!"

The continuous exclamation spread to the entire capital, and tens of thousands of people in the capital were alarmed. People stepped out of their homes and looked up at the sky. Today is a good day for miracles to appear. First, there was a thunderous roar, and then the eyes of the Lord God. The huge "eyes" floated above the capital, with the marks of the Lord God painted on them, undulating and swaying in the air.

After a while, priests from various communities rushed over. They had already been notified that Shenwei University was testing the gods, and there would be a prayer ceremony for the main god in the afternoon. Soon, under the guidance of the priests, the reverent prayers of tens of thousands of people resounded through Qin Cong Can City, as if the Kingdom of God had come.

"Praise the Lord God! Believe in my God, Vizilopochtli, He is infinitely powerful and controls the authority of the sky! He bestows blessings on us and blesses the spring and autumn harvests!"

Xiulot listened to the prayers of tens of thousands of people, feeling the extra piety in the voice. There was a slight movement in his heart, thoughtful.

"People revere everything in the sky! It seems that although small hot air balloons cannot be used for combat other than scouting, they are excellent missionary weapons! Especially in large cities with large conversion populations"

"Praise you, the suzerain priest of the divine revelation, thank you for your guidance!"

Chimer lowered his head and saluted the king with sincerity.

"We...we have mastered the power of flight! That is the realm of the gods!"

Hearing this, Shulot raised his eyebrows and looked at Chimel with a half-smile.

"Master the power to fly?"

"Exactly, Master Suzerain!"

Chimel's eyes almost glowed. He calculated confidently, and more ambition surged from his chest.

"Dear Suzerain, as long as the diameter of the main god's eye is doubled, and more god particles are heated, one or two people can be brought together! Standing in the main god's eye, they are the best scouts, and they can even see To hundreds of miles away!"

Hearing this, the king looked at Chimel and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's right! Chimel, you're right!"

If the diameter of the hot air balloon is doubled, from 6 meters to 12 meters, the volume of the hot air balloon will be 8 times, more than 800 cubic meters. After fully heating the air in the ball, the buoyancy will become 300-400 catties. Even deducting nearly half of the self-weight of a small hot air balloon, it is enough to take people into the sky!

Of course, as the volume of the hot air balloon increases, the difficulty of manufacturing will increase exponentially. Moreover, the risk of this kind of primitive hot air balloon is very high. If there is no rope for traction, manned is betting on life.

Shulot thought for a moment, then withdrew his thoughts. He smiled and shouted to the excited apprentices in the audience.

"The Lord God witnessed! We sent a turkey to the distant sky! This is an immortal moment destined to be recorded in the epic. And each of you is a participant in the epic!"

Hearing this, the apprentice priests cheered again. They prayed the name of the main god aloud, and sang the wisdom of the king. It wasn't until Xiulot waved his hand that everyone became quiet one after another.

"My students, after seeing all this, you must learn to think! Think about the natural principles behind things!"

Shulot groaned with a smile, taking advantage of the moment when the apprentices were shaken, silently sowed the seeds of enlightenment.

"Think about it, where does the power to fly into the air come from?"

The apprentices pondered intently, looking at the hot air balloon in the sky, not knowing how to answer. After a while, someone asked in a low voice.

"Does the power of flight come from the Lord God? Or does it come from the divine power in the flames?"

Shulot smiled, noncommittal. He observed everyone's expressions and spoke at the right time.

"As I said before, there are forces interacting between the tiny god particles! These forces are related to the weight of all things, and determine the position of the god particles. When the gas is heated and expanded, the weight per unit volume will decrease, and the surrounding God particles will exert buoyancy"

Seeing the familiar confused expression, Shulot pondered for a while before switching to a more common language.

"In short, in air or water, the light one floats, and the heavy one sinks. We drop a drop of fish oil in the water, and the fish oil floats on the water. We throw a dry bean in the water, and the dry bean sinks. What if we hollowed out the center of a dried bean, left only the skin, dripped it with fish oil, and put it in water?"

". Sink? Float? First sink, then rise?"

Low voices of discussion sounded in the school grounds. With a smile on his face, Xiulot listened to the conversation of the apprentices. After a while, he raised the corner of his mouth and waved his hand.

"I won't tell you the answer. You have to practice and explore by yourself. Under the guidance of the Lord God, follow the laws of nature and discover the mysteries of the gods!"

"Remember, the main god's eye above our heads is also based on the same principle. Many laws in the air are actually similar to those in water. Their god particles are easy to flow, can be crushed, and are sticky. They are collectively called fluids! .When the air in the Eye of Lord God is heated with flame, the huge Eye of God will become lighter. Then, the light one will be buoyant in the fluid. This force is called buoyancy. For a simpler example, when you heat a pot hot soup and watch the water rise from the hottest bottom"

"Fluid, squashable, sticky?"

The girl Elaine's eyes were blurred, and two "??" appeared again. Listening to the chief's narration, the girl licked her lips and took a sip of her saliva when she inexplicably thought of the delicious mountain nectar.

"Huh? The chief said just now that there is nectar in the sky? Suck it, it must be delicious!"

A gust of wind blew by, and the girl's ponytail was blown up in the wind. She pulled her messy hair, raised her head, and looked for the "nectar" in the sky. Suddenly, she saw dots of dazzling light emerging from the eye of the main god in the sky.

"Huh?! What is that?"

Yi Lian was startled, rubbed her eyes, and carefully looked at the sky again. She grew up in the mountains, from the time she was born until she was in Shenwei University, she only touched a book for half a month in more than ten years, so her eyes are naturally excellent.

"Ah! This is, this is"

Yi Lian looked carefully for a few breaths, and the light on the eyes of the Lord God became more and more obvious and bigger. She finally exclaimed.

"The Great Chief, it's on! The eyes of the sky, it's on!!"

On the red altar, Shulot was startled when he heard Elaine's call. His heart tightened, his face remained unchanged, and he looked up. I saw the hot air balloon swaying violently in the wind, and little flames rose from one side, forming a line quickly!

Soon, the thin paper shell and rubber coating were burned through, and the huge Lord God's Eye leaked air. The hot air balloon slanted down from the sky while burning rapidly. The turkey in the bamboo basket was terrified, stuck its head out, flapped its wings desperately, and let out a rapid call.

"Cluck! Cluck!"

"The Lord God bless! The Lord God bless!!"

The continuous exclamation of tens of thousands of people resounded in Qincongcan City, accompanied by fearful prayers. In the eyes of everyone, the Lord God's Eye was blazing, and under the pull of the rope, it fell towards the Shenwei University in the capital.

"...the hot air balloon hits."

Shulot put his hand on his forehead and pursed his lips helplessly. The danger of early hot air balloons was still too high, and the design of the brazier also needed to be improved. At this moment, many thoughts flashed through the king's mind. He made a quick decision.

"Chimel!"

"In the!"

"Retrieve the rope as much as possible, and let the Eye of the Lord God land in the open school field!"

"Obey!"

Chimel blushed, and he did it himself, pulling back the fluttering hot air balloon together with the craftsmen.

"Bravo!"

"Sovereign Priest!"

"The Lord God's Eye follows the east wind and will fall to the west of the school grounds. Let the apprentices move to the east!"

"Obey, Sovereign Priest!"

Bravo immediately ran down the altar and directed the apprentices to move to a safe location.

"Bertard!"

"Your Highness!"

"Samurai commanding the guards, prepare to put out the fire!"

"Follow your will."

Berthard nodded respectfully. He didn't leave, but let the guards go to prepare. Then, he asked cautiously.

"Your Highness, do you want to avoid one or two?"

".No need!"

Shulot looked at the hot air balloon that had fallen to about 100 meters, and shook his head.

"The landing point is seventy or eighty meters to the west, so it won't burn here. Well, the hot air balloon itself doesn't have any fuel. The fire looks big, and it will go out in a while."

The apprentices under the altar were in a hurry, but everyone on the altar was very calm. The king squinted his eyes, watching the burning wreckage of the hot air balloon. But after a while, the fireball had already begun to weaken. The falling speed of the wreckage became faster and faster, and it fell to 50 meters below!

"Clack, cluck!"

The flame finally burned to the bottom of the hot air balloon, and burned half of the rope connecting the bamboo basket, and the bamboo basket capsized immediately. The not-fat turkey that ascended to the sky screamed in terror and leaped, jumping down from a height of more than 40 meters!

"Pu Chi Pu Chi!"

The non-fat turkey fluttered its wings, its tail feathers were on fire, and it fell down like a golden crow! Its not-fat body danced like a mural flying in the sky, and against the flames of the hot air balloon, it appeared somewhat coquettish. Then, it drew a long arc, thumped vigorously, and hit the dirt in front of the king with a plop.

"Cluck! Cluck!!"

The non-fat turkey struggled in horror for a long time, and stood up from the mud. The flame on its tail had been extinguished by the wind pressure. Then, it looked at the Twolegs in front of it in confusion, and twisted its round buttocks.

"Cuckoo? Cuckoo? Cuckoo!"

The outstretched wings provide support for gliding, and the fluffy feathers reduce the cushioning of hitting the ground. This not fat turkey went back and forth in the sky one or two hundred meters, and it was unscathed!

The king stared wide-eyed at the fat turkey more than ten meters away. Then, he turned his head to look at the Eye of the Lord God, which had been burnt to only sporadic fragments. The guard warriors of the brigade are fighting the remaining fire, and it will not take long to completely extinguish it.

"Good one. One. Flying chicken!"

At some point, Bravo appeared next to the king again. With surprise on his face, he pointed to the fat turkey that landed, and shouted to everyone.

"Blessed by the Lord God! The chicken flew into the sky and returned intact. This is a good omen bestowed by the Lord God!!."

Shulot blinked, looked at Bravo's deliberate expression, and suddenly realized. He nodded slowly and announced loudly.

"The chief priest of Bravo is right! The eye of the main god was sacrificed to the main god, and the turkey returned safely. This is an auspicious sign that the gods bless the kingdom! Praise the main god, God bless the kingdom!"

"Praise the Lord God, God bless the kingdom!"

The apprentice priests paused for a moment, those who responded quickly shouted, while those who responded slowly were still in a daze.

Bravo suggested with a smile.

"Sovereign priest, you should immediately send people to tell the priests in the city about the auspicious omen! To avoid people's unreasonable suspicion. This turkey should also be raised in a good way, as a sign of miracles, let the people visit!"

"That's right! Priest Bravo, you're right. I'll leave this Vulcan Chicken to you!"

Shulot nodded slightly, and calmly instructed the guard. More than a dozen personal guards immediately took the message and went to various places in the city.

Then, the king looked around, looking at young and serious faces. He pondered for a moment, leaving the last teaching.

"My students, the mystery of the gods is the law of nature! As long as we understand it, we can master the mighty power of nature, fly into the sea, move mountains and fill lakes, and do a lot! However, the journey to explore the mysteries of the gods Everything goes smoothly! Failure is common, and success is rare. But you must not be easily discouraged! Because real success will be born from continuous failure!"
