One reinforcement point a day

Chapter 52 Hot Air Balloon

The two causes and effects were settled, and the cold wind blew all the way, and with the comfort of kicking someone's foot, my mood improved a lot for no reason.

It is said that the ass that was kicked just now was not kicked well. I thought that I would have a comfortable foot feeling and the other party would not hurt too much. I never thought that the other party's butt looked big and had no flesh.

Should come to mind.

Zhou Tai is summarizing himself!

Then he quickly looked at the direction he was heading at the moment. He was heading east. This needs to be checked constantly. If you don't pay attention and go in the wrong direction, it will be bad.

There is no compass, but in this world, I have learned to look at the sun to identify the direction, so unless it is cloudy, Zhou Tai generally does not worry that he will go in the wrong direction.

The plan for going east will not change, but after walking like this for a few days, Zhou Tai feels that he still needs to make some preparations.

This is walking on two legs, which is too inefficient.It's not that I feel that I'm walking slowly, but that the journey is too far, and it may be the rhythm of walking with broken legs.

Zhou Tai thought of the hot air balloon that he had thought about before.

The idea at that time was not real, it was not practical at all, and it was not feasible, it was just a thought, but because this idea was very unique, Zhou Tai remembered it, but at this moment, this plan is feasible.

Originally, if a hot air balloon wants to carry enough weight, it must be large enough to accommodate more hot air and fly.

After flying, if you want to fly well, you have to bring enough counterweight sandbags, enough fuel, plus some necessary items and Zhou Tai's weight, and this is very difficult for Zhou Tai.

Because there is so much weight to carry, and in case there is no suitable lightweight material, the balloon will be very heavy, and the balloon required will be very large.

Even if it has been made after untold hardships, it is successful after taking off, but what if it is inconvenient to fall into the river or other places when it lands?Do you want to throw it away?
It's hard to hold, it's a pity to lose it!So let's not talk about whether it can be done, it is unrealistic to make it and hurry.

But because there is a large space for storing equipment, all this is not a problem.

Fuel, counterweight sandbags, and daily necessities can all be put in the storage equipment, and you can bring your own weight, or the weight after the weight is reduced, so that the hot air balloon does not need to be made particularly huge.

And if the hot air balloon falls to a place that is not suitable for landing, or if the wind direction is wrong, you can also put the hot air balloon in the storage equipment and use your feet to drive directly. This idea is really perfect.

By the way, in order to prevent any flying birds from attacking the hot air balloon, a long-range attack equipment is also needed. It must be very good to get a bow and crossbow and strengthen it with strengthening points.Bows and crossbows are strengthened, and the crossbows are not strengthened if they are not necessary, because the crossbows with strengthening points are shot out from the hot air balloon in the sky, and it is difficult to retrieve them.

Dare to make a hot air balloon because Zhou Tai understands the principle of hot air balloons very well, and also knows how to control the direction.

There are generally two control methods: one is to control the direction by changing the height of the hot air balloon in the air.

Because the wind direction is different at different heights, it can be used to change the direction.The power of the hot air balloon is the burner above the basket and below the balloon. There is no rudder, and its movement direction must follow the wind.

Different heights, different times, and wind directions are different. If you want to adjust the direction, you need to find different wind layers.If you can't meet the wind in the direction you need to go, you can only fall to the ground and wait for the wind to come.

The burner is easy to do, and a large burning fireball can be the burner.

The second method is to adjust the direction by the sandbags on the basket, and control the balance of the balloon by hanging the sandbags at different positions. For example, when hung to the right, the center of gravity of the balloon is to the right, and the whole is tilted to the right. According to the principle of centrifugal force, it moves to the right and quickly drops to When the ground is on the ground, it is heated up and then readjusted.

It is also easy to control the up and down. When heated, it goes up, and when it goes down, it is to open a valve on the top of the hot air balloon and control it with a rope. Put some hot air on it and then close it. The hot air balloon will go down. If you want to go down faster, then let it down Heat is fine.

As for the materials for making hot air balloons, you can always find the right ones. If Kongming lanterns are made, hot air balloons can be made!
Thinking about it this way, this thing can be done, sharpening the knife is not the same as chopping firewood!
Zhou Tai stopped and thought quietly. Before making a hot air balloon, he needed to do two things first. One was to get money, and he needed to get a lot of it!The second is to buy something like a sachet that can be strengthened by strengthening points, and make it into space equipment, which is specially used to hold hot air balloons. There cannot be only one hot air balloon. In case it breaks, there is also a spare.

If one is broken, there is a spare, and if the spare is broken, there must be a spare, so at least three need to be made.

No, after earning enough money, the first thing to do is to try to make a hot air balloon.

If it can be made and flew, it is the correct operation. If all the items are brought back first, and the result cannot be flown, it is not a waste.

Three months later.

In a certain valley, Zhou Tai's first manned hot air balloon flight is about to begin.

It took nearly a month after selling jade to make money, finding materials, purchasing items, choosing a test location, and so on.It took another two months to make, and after many failures, a successful unmanned flight was carried out yesterday.

I don't know why, people here are very fond of jade, especially high-quality jade can be sold at a very high price. Since he has grown up a lot, he has also become bolder. Zhou Tai has carried out several jade transactions that exceeded his expectations. , maybe it was luck, or something, nothing bad happened, so it's good.

The material of the hot air balloon was also changed again and again. Zhou Tai first used the same material to make a small hot air balloon of equal proportions. Only when the small hot air balloon was qualified, he began to consider making a bigger hot air balloon.

At first, I found a very lightweight and airtight material. I thought I was lucky, but I didn’t know that the material was not strong enough, and it was not heat-resistant. The little hot air balloon flew into the sky and fell down in less than ten seconds. .

Because the flying is slow, not high, and the fall is very sudden, it almost landed on Zhou Tai, and he was startled at the time, because the burning material inside is kerosene, if it fell on the body, it would take half his life It must be gone.

Therefore, the subsequent experiments were performed with great care.

Although it is said that the hot air balloon can be made smaller because it has no weight, but in the end it is more than eight meters long.

The small one was fine and could fly without any problems. Then I made a big one, but the big one couldn’t fly. Then I searched for the reason, and finally found out that the heat of ignition and combustion was insufficient. .

Then I made something like a blower to speed up the heating of the gas in the hot air balloon.

It can be said that painstaking efforts have paid off, and after many experiments and design changes, the design was finally successful.
