At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 536 Willing to be a Pioneer
It is night, the moon and stars are rare.

In an open space southeast of Constantinople, the students of the Academy of Sciences put down their equipment and began to assemble Kongming lanterns.

Fan Mingchen also brought a troop with him, but his duty was not to participate in the attack, but to guard the perimeter to protect the safety of the students.

It's just that the gates of Constantinople have long been sealed, and the nearby combat forces have been wiped out by the Ming army long ago, and there is no threat at all.

After ensuring that there was no enemy situation on the periphery, Fan Mingchen came to Tong Xuan.

Tong Xuan brought four people and was assembling an oversized Kongming lantern. In the open space beside him, there was a black guy the size of an iron pan.

Fan Mingchen felt it was interesting, stepped forward to touch it, it was cold, it should be made of cast iron.

"Xueshi Tong, this thing..."

"do not move!"

Only then did Tong Xuan see Fan Mingchen resting his hand on "Fatty", and hurriedly spoke to stop him.

Fan Mingchen was so frightened that he withdrew his hand and asked, "What... what's wrong?"

"Brother Fatty has a bad temper, don't touch him."

"what?"

Fan Mingchen was puzzled, what fat brother, where is it?

Tong Xuan explained: "It's the big guy you touched. If he loses his temper, the consequences will be very serious, and more serious than you can imagine."

Fan Mingchen looked at the fat black man and asked, "Isn't it just a lump of iron? I know it's filled with gunpowder. It's just a big bomb, isn't it?"

"Yes, but not all."

"What do you mean?"

"It's filled with high-energy yellow gunpowder...forget it, I can't explain it to you, anyway, just wait and see for a while!"

"High-energy yellow gunpowder..."

Fan Mingchen muttered to himself, as if he really didn't understand.

What the hell is this? It looks amazing...

Tong Xuan raised his head suddenly and asked, "By the way, don't you want to participate?"

Fan Mingchen nodded quickly and said, "Is it possible?"

Tong Xuan turned his head and shouted at Mei Chun: "When will the detection lights be released?"

Mei Chun said: "Preparing, why, are you going?"

"I'm not going, Fan Mingchen is going."

"What are you kidding?"

Mei Chun turned her head away and ignored her.

Tong Xuan smiled and said, "I'm not kidding, he asked for it himself."

Fan Mingchen then said: "I have rough skin and thick flesh, so I can act as a pioneer!"

Mei Chun turned her head again and asked, "Are you afraid of heights?"

Fan Mingchen was puzzled. When Tong Xuan asked just now, he was thinking, I'm going to play the vanguard, why did I ask if I'm afraid of heights?

Do you want me to fly and drop bombs from the sky?
Tong Xuan didn't seem to be afraid of big things, and said, "Just give us a chance. General Fan escorted us all the way to the front line, so he just made a small request, isn't it too much?"

Mei Chun frowned and asked: "The war is about to start, don't you want to talk to me!"

"Aren't you Yingtianren? When did you learn Northeast dialect?"

"Don't worry about whether I can speak Northeast dialect, I just ask you..."

Mei Chun looked Fan Mingchen up and down, and asked, "Our work is very challenging, are you sure you want to try?"

Fan Mingchen nodded dully, and said: "Don't worry, don't look at my recklessness, in fact, I am bold and careful, and I will definitely be able to..."

"okay!"

Mei Chun waved his hand to stop him, and said, "Come here, change clothes for General Fan."

Fan Mingchen was stunned, and said, "I'm wearing armor!"

"It's because you're wearing armor, take it off, and replace it with cotton armor."

"Why change to cotton armor..."

"Are you still going?"

"Go, I'll go!"

Fan Mingchen shut his mouth obediently, put on his padded jacket, and then saw a huge Kongming lantern.

"This is……"

"This is the Observer, which is used to observe the direction of the wind. Next, it will rise into the air. You can use the wind gauge to record the direction and force of the wind. Don't worry, there is a rope pulling it, and it will not fly away."

Fan Mingchen's face turned pale, with the wind gauge in his hand, he hesitated and said, "I, I... don't know how to use it..."

"It's easy!"

Tong Xuan leaned over, pointed to the anemometer in Fan Mingchen's hand, and said, "Look at this chicken, its head points to the direction of the wind..."

Fan Mingchen didn't have the mood to listen to Tong Xuan's explanation. Now he just wanted to change back to his armor and do a good job in the promising job of guarding.

But, was it what he had been fighting for just now?

Damn it!

In the future, I will remember a little longer, and we rough people should try our best not to participate in the matter of the Academy of Sciences...

The Kongming lantern slowly rose, and Fan Mingchen sat in the bamboo basket, his legs trembling all the time.

Tong Xuan shook his hand at him and said, "Remember what I just said, the observation data must be accurate!"

Fan Mingchen wanted to cry, but couldn't cry.

Because the tears got into the crotch, and another liquid flowed out...

Mei Chun looked at Tong Xuan and asked, "The battle is imminent, why do you insist on letting him go up?"

"He asked for it himself."

"He has no professional training, isn't this nonsense?"

"Just let him go up to experience it, and just set up three more scout posts. He... just treat it as a bonus."

Mei Chun shook her head helplessly, and then ordered: "Let the scout post fly!"

In the city of Constantinople, there was silence.

Hafiz Kasha looked up at the night sky and noticed that there were a few stars that were surprisingly bright.

And it flickered, giving people the illusion that they were flying very low.

Why don't the stars in the sky fall down?

This problem has plagued humans for thousands of years. If we count from the first conscious monkey, it may be tens of thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years.

Hafiz is not only a military scientist, but also one of the few astronomers in Uthman, so he is more sensitive to the position of the stars.

A few stars in the southeast immediately caught his attention. Does the vision from the sky indicate that something big is about to happen?

Suddenly, he thought of one thing.

Ever since the Easterners stopped shelling, they seemed to see something floating in the sky.

It's like a kite, but think about it from another angle, what if those kites are used to detect the enemy's situation?

It can be seen at a glance from the sky, and all the defenses in the city will be useless.

"Come on!"

"Master Kasha."

"Go to the commander who delivered the letter during the day and ask him to come see me immediately!"

"Yes!"

Although the herald didn't know why Master Kaxia went looking for someone in the middle of the night, there must be an urgent military situation.

Not long after, the guard Hanuman hurried over.

"Master Kasha, what do you need from me?"

Hafiz looked solemn, and asked, "How did the Ming army send the letter of war into the city?"

Hanuman recalled what happened in the early morning and said, "It was a kite that flew to the city wall, and we shot it down with firecrackers, bows and arrows."

Hafiz's eyes showed panic, and he asked again: "What kind of kite?"

"It was rotten when it was shot down, um... By the way, that kite has no strings."

Hafiz became more nervous the more he heard, and immediately said: "If something happens, follow me to see His Majesty the King immediately!"
