4446 Chinese Demon Dragon
On the 17th day of the twelfth lunar month, this is a very memorable day during the entire Western Regions war. Many old herdsmen and herb collectors in Tianshan swore with their lives that the wind in Tianshan will be the least today, and there will be no better chances until the New Year.
From midnight, these people began to get busy. The soldiers and civilians of Jinghe County watched hundreds of fires burning in the south of the city, and the blazing flames provided lighting and heating for the soldiers around them. The fierce northwest wind yelled, and the temperature had reached more than minus thirty degrees below zero!
Doro and Guan Lu were wearing two layers of fur, with soft lambskin jackets and pants inside, and a wolf-skin cloak on the outside, and a hat wrapped its head around.
Even so, the cold wind and cold air are still everywhere, and the northwest wind cuts the skin like a knife!
"Lao Guan... Do you mean that naiveness can really suppress the wind? Just go to this night, I'm so happy!"
"We have to give it a try. It's already the 17th day of the twelfth lunar month. We have to give Long Live a generous gift in the New Year!"
"Look at the herdsmen who guided them, they all sacrificed their lives. We can't be afraid!"
A total of eight older guides were selected for these actions across the Tianshan Mountains. They were very familiar with this mountain range. Almost every ridge and valley were as clear as the patterns on their palms.
These guides collected dozens of kilograms of tea bricks, countless salt, and a few silver coins. Finally, they promised that if the operation was successful, they would give them one person, one cow and twenty sheep!
There must be brave men under heavy rewards. These guides not only promised their lives, but even began to pray for the advance team tonight!
There are many beliefs in the northern Xinjiang. Some of these guides kneel on the blankets and recite scriptures, some start dancing around the fire, and some kowtow to Tianshan with beads...
No matter how they believe in it, they are extremely pious at this moment, completely forgetting the cold, and some people kowtow until their foreheads are bleeding.
The entire city's military and civilians couldn't sleep anymore, and all rushed out to see the busyness of the military masters from Beijing. They saw that the skeletons of demon dragons were removed from the cart and then began to assemble them!
Some of the huge screws are as thick as children's arms. When rotating, they have to be cooked with a torch to melt the lubricant!
"Is this...is this the bone of the demon dragon?"
"Oh my God of Eternal Life... Buddha... These Han people are so terrible. Can they kill the demon dragon and then drive the ancient skeletons of the demon dragon?"
The terrified herders and some soldiers quickly joined the prayer team, and the scene became a bit magical.
There were more and more shamans dancing around the fire, and the sound of chanting swayed the sky, and the sound attracted more military and civilians to come and watch the fun.
By the time the pod was assembled, the prayer scene had exceeded 600, and the people from the capital were stunned!
"Blower... prepare the blower... prepare the open furnace to burn the fire... blow the warm air..." The captain and engineers started shouting with iron horns. Twelve human blowers began to rotate. Each blower had a fire and an open furnace behind it, which burned wildly.
Huh... Huh... The sound of the hot wind blowing, coupled with the sound of herders praying and chanting scriptures, formed a certain resonance in the air, making people's mood suddenly sacred.
The airship sent by Zai Chun this time was a new airship with semi-hard airbags. The entire soft airbag had dozens of keels supporting the shape of the huge spindle!
Since these keels have already supported the structure, the process of blowing in the air will be smoother and it will take a shorter time, and such an airbag will be stronger!
It was already early morning, and a trace of white fish belly was revealed in the sky, and the light was scattered on the airbag, allowing people to still be able to distinguish the huge black thing in the dark, constantly expanding!
People suddenly exclaimed, "Living... The demon dragon is alive... Look... the Han people resurrected the demon dragon!"
These herders had never seen such a miracle. They saw something like a mountain expanding and rising, as if a demon dragon was breathing.
Now all the herdsmen and soldiers couldn't stand anymore, and they knelt in front of the airship and kowtowed, muttering!
The captain yelled, "Don't just kowtow! Pressurized ballast... tie the cables... carry the ammunition and cargo!"
"Fuck... the buoyancy is getting stronger and stronger. Hurry up and prepare the goods to suppress them... Let the wind be swept away later, and none of us can take responsibility!"
As soon as the soldiers got involved, they tied the cables to the huge rocks, and then pulled up the kowtowed herders to let them go to the resistant ammunition box!
Box after box of shells, bullets, compressed biscuits, canned fruits, butter, cheese... medical first aid packages!
Five million dragon-patterned silver dollars were also transported, and behind them were sacks of coke, and buckets of kerosene!
The airbag of the airship continued to receive air, and the boiler on the pod also began to catch fire. The hot air was swaying into the airbag. The power of this giant became stronger and stronger, and the cables pulled were making a crackling sound!
"Oh... the demon dragon has such a lot of strength... so many stones can't be suppressed, the rope is almost broken..."
"A thousand kilograms of goods were pressed up, and it was still flying upwards. He still wanted to fly upwards with encouragement... It was so awesome!"
The herdsmen didn't know what buoyancy was, and they didn't understand the principle of the airship at all. They just saw it intuitively that the big guy couldn't tie it up and kept trying to fly into the sky. People took countless goods and could only press down a little, and then rushed upwards!
"The sky is finally bright... The sun is exposed at the edge, and golden light is scattered on the airship, on the Jinghe County Town, on the withered and yellow grassland with residual snow, and on the capped mountains!"
"The wind is pressing... the wind is pressing... finally the wind is pressing..." The shaman who jumped the god suddenly roared, and people reached out and waved his hands and cheered. When it was dawn, the northwest wind was really gone overnight!
Not that there was no wind left. The northwest wind was definitely five or sixth level last night, and at this moment it was just a breeze of one or two levels. For such a huge Zeppelin, this little wind had no effect at all!
"Within twenty minutes, all the goods will be brought up... All personnel boarded the boat! All personnel boarded the boat..."
At the head of the airship, the captain pulled his neck with an iron trumpet, but his lips accidentally stuck to the tinplate, and he thorned off a piece of skin!
"Oh... so cold... add fire, add coke... prepare kerosene..."
The last cargo and soldiers boarded the airship. The soldiers were all wearing the same clothes as bears. Everyone had two layers of fur to resist the cold wind. The little heat emitted by the airship boiler dissipated as soon as the wind blew.
The eight guides walked up to the demon dragon's body in frightened and their faces turned pale.
"Time... at 8:15 am... loosen the cable... loosen the cable..."
The soldiers left on the ground twitched their buckles, and some used knives to cut off the cables. As the bound ropes broke, the airship suddenly vibrated.
Several guides were caught off guard and fell, and the demon dragon shook his body and suddenly pulled up and rushed up!
Inside and outside Jinghe City, there was a full half-minute silence, and then there was a shocking cheer "Long live!"
"Han people... control the demon dragon... long live! Long live!"
