Chapter 313: Failure
I have to say that such a big hot air balloon, it is definitely a huge project, with the joint efforts of Zhou Fan and these 20 people, it took almost two hours to make this hot air balloon.
A huge Kong Ming lantern was placed there, and a basket large enough for two adults hung underneath, and the first hot air balloon in human history appeared.
However, the hot air balloon was made, but it was at this time that everyone disagreed.
"Brother Yuanyang, will you let me go up quickly?" Xiao Qiao pulled Zhou Fan's sleeve and said coquettishly.
"No way!" Zhou Fan refused without hesitation.
What are you kidding, although Zhou Fan knows that a hot air balloon can definitely carry people into the sky, and this hot air balloon is definitely the safest of all flight props, countless times safer than airplanes and the like.
But that's the hot air balloon of the future, with the simple version of the copycat hot air balloon that Zhou Fan is making now, God knows how much the safety factor is.
If Xiao Qiao is really allowed to try, in case something happens, then Zhou Fan will not blame himself to death, so this kind of thing is simply not even negotiable.
"Then Brother Yuanyang, what's the use of you making this thing, you can only see it, you can't use it." Seeing Zhou Fan, he was also a little angry, Xiao Qiao naturally didn't dare to play like this anymore, and muttered with grievances on his face.
Immediately Zhou Fan was speechless, it seemed that it was really like that, he had made this hot air balloon, if no one experimented with its safety, there was really no way to mass produce it.
As for the people in this experiment, Xiao Qiao didn't think about it, the other little ones were naturally impossible, and none of them could be injured.
In fact, the guards around Zhou Fan, that is, the Yellow Turban Lux, are definitely the best experimenters.
They are dead soldiers. And for his 100% loyalty, even if Zhou Fan directly ordered them to commit suicide, I'm afraid no one would frown. Not to mention just letting them experiment with what could be a dangerous hot air balloon.
However, this kind of thing is naturally impossible for Zhou Fan to say this in front of a group of children, otherwise what is his image. If it spreads, it will definitely have an impact on your reputation, which is really a headache.
However, in the next second, Zhou Fan suddenly looked at the sky and laughed directly.
"Brother Yuanyang, you won't be stupid, right?" Xiao Qiao muttered quietly, obviously full of resentment about Zhou Fan not letting her get on the hot air balloon.
"You're stupid!" Zhou Fan shouted angrily.
Xiao Qiao hurriedly hid behind Da Qiao and Zhou Ning, secretly poked his head out, and grimaced at Zhou Fan.
Zhou Fan shook his head helplessly. There was a whistle in the sky, and in an instant, the golden and silver eagles that had been following flew down.
As for the reason why he laughed wildly before, it was naturally because he had already found the best test subject, that is, the Golden Eagle and the Silver Eagle, and there was no more suitable than them.
In fact, Zhou Fan was worried about just a few problems.
Getting this hot air balloon into the air couldn't be easier, just light a fire underneath by any person, even if the person is not in the basket at that time.
But if you want this hot air balloon to come down, if there is no one in the basket, you can't do it.
In order for the hot air balloon to descend, it is necessary to have someone extinguish the pine resin inside the hot air balloon. When the heat inside slowly dissipates, the hot air balloon will naturally fall slowly.
This is not possible if no one does it manually. Unless Zhou Fan is willing to let this hot air balloon fly to the same small Kong Ming lantern as before, I don't know where to fly. When Zhou Fan wants to keep things secret, it will be completely over.
However, it is for this reason that the problem comes, there must be a person in the basket to control the pine resin, then the safety of this person is not guaranteed, in case of falling from the sky, it is definitely a dead end, no matter how you say it, it is a life.
However, now seeing the two golden eagles and silver eagles, all the problems have been solved.
It's just a fire, and the Golden Eagle and the Silver Eagle can do it. As for security, that's even more to worry about. Even if something happens to the hot air balloon, they won't have an accident. Those wings weren't white.
As for the weight, it couldn't be easier, although the Golden Eagle and the Silver Eagle combined were not enough to match a little Joe, let alone two adult strong men, but they only needed to add some stones. All the problems are solved, how can Zhou Fan not laugh out loud.
Now that he has an idea, then Zhou Fan doesn't talk nonsense, just do it, and soon everything is ready, and the Golden Eagle and the Silver Eagle are also ordered by Zhou Fan to stay in the basket and wait for the liftoff.
"Ignition!" Zhou Fan gave an order, and a personal guard took a torch to light the huge piece of pine resin under the hot air balloon, and the raging flames burned like that.
Time passed slowly, and bursts of heat continued to pass upwards. If a small Kong Ming lantern wants to fly, it naturally won't take much time, but it won't take a while for such a big hot air balloon to take off.
"It's moving, Brother Yuanyang, it's moving." Just when everyone was a little impatient and thought that the hot air balloon had failed, Xiao Qiao pointed ahead and shouted happily.
Zhou Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief, only to see that the hot air balloon floated slowly, slowly in the eyes of everyone, and rose towards the air at an extremely slow speed, although the speed was slow, but he did fly.
The Golden Eagle and the Silver Eagle were also taken aback, screaming vigorously, if it weren't for Zhou Fan's order, the two of them would have fled in the wilderness. Maybe it's a strange feeling for the two of them to be able to fly without having to flap their wings.
In the cheers of the small ones, the hot air balloon flew higher and higher, and it was about to exceed the distance of 100 zhang, Zhou Fan also showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, Zhou Fan is not very demanding, and now it can reach a distance of 100 zhang under this simple situation, which is already very good.
However, the next moment, Zhou Fan's face changed greatly, and just when Zhou Fan wanted to order the Golden Eagle to extinguish the fire, his strengthened gaze suddenly saw that the kraft paper on one corner of the hot air balloon was actually broken.
"Run!" Zhou Fan just shouted, picked up Da Qiao and the girls, and hurriedly ran into the distance, and the rest of the people also hurriedly ran away with Zhou Fan.
In the air, the Golden Eagle and the Silver Eagle had already fled under Zhou Fan's orders. And the layer of brown paper wrapped around the hot air balloon had already been burned by the raging flames at this moment, completely losing the momentum of the rise, and the whole thing fell from the air.
