Chapter 337: Inadequacies
The hot air balloon is still floating over Qingzhou. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lin Wentao and the others were in hot pursuit, and just when they were tired and panting, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves came.
"Come up." Xiao Ming rode his horse in front of Lin Wentao.
Lin Wentao was stunned, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
"What are you doing in a daze, if the hot air balloon flies away, this king won't make another one for you." Xiao Ming glared at him and said.
Lin Wentao was immediately anxious when he heard this, and immediately climbed onto Zhao Long's horse.
Looking at the hot air balloon, Xiao Ming chased Lin Wentao out, followed by Zhao Long and Zhao Hu.
The hot air balloon kept flying westward, and the rope under the hot air balloon hung down, which made Xiao Ming feel glad that at least Lin Wentao made the rope longer this time.
Maybe this guy flew the hot air balloon like a kite.
Following the hot air balloon, everyone quickly chased out of the city, and the hot air balloon flew lower and lower outside Qingzhou City.
Immediately, Lin Wentao and Xiao Ming said that there was only a small amount of tung oil on the hot air balloon, and they just heated it underneath, and they flew away without thinking about it.
Seeing the hot air balloon flying lower and lower, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, if you add tung oil, I don't know where this hot air balloon will fly.
Moreover, it is easy for this hot air balloon to fall from the sky and hurt people, and now that the cultivated land outside the city has landed, it has also made Xiao Ming breathe a sigh of relief.
"Your Highness, I got it."
The hot air balloon couldn't fly anymore, Lin Wentao jumped off the horse and ran over, and one person grabbed the rope of the hot air balloon.
Xiao Ming nodded, "Now you know how hot air balloons fly." ”
Lin Wentao nodded solemnly, "This hot air balloon flies according to the direction of the wind, if we take a hot air balloon, we can only follow the direction of the wind." ”
"Well, it's good to understand this, although you have made a hot air balloon now, but this is only the most basic hot air balloon, the real practical hot air balloon still needs to continue to explore, this king hopes that one day you can put the hot air balloon into practical use."
Xiao Ming said this, which is basically equivalent to agreeing with Lin Wentao, and now the hot air balloon is only the first step.
He continued: "Now that a hot air balloon can fly is just the basics, the next question you have to look at is how to control the hot air balloon by getting people to fly in a hot air balloon and looking for different wind directions in the air. ”
The direction of the wind is different at different altitudes in the air, and the hot air balloon can only fly according to the direction of the wind, and the speed and wind speed are the same, which is all in the textbook written by Xiao Ming.
Lin Wentao nodded, he also knew that he had only achieved the first step, and he said: "Your Highness, after a while, I will definitely take a hot air balloon to the sky to circle Qingzhou City." ”
"Hahaha, this king is looking forward to such a day, so that this hot air balloon is a scenery in Qingzhou." Xiao Ming laughed.
For Xiao Ming, he very much hopes that the hot air balloon can serve as a bomber, but unfortunately it can't be done at the current level of hot air balloons.
First of all, the current hot air balloon is not a hydrogen balloon, the flight altitude is not high, and the flexibility is too poor.
Because it is driven by the wind, it is impossible for the hot air balloon to hover in a certain place, so it can only follow the wind hard.
If you do throw something downward, unless there is a suitable wind direction, blow the hot air balloon into the enemy's camp.
Secondly, you have to throw it accurately, after all, once the place passes, the hot air balloon may take a long distance to find the right wind direction to come back, not to mention that there are not a few people on a hot air balloon.
Therefore, compared with the extremely inefficient sneak attack on the enemy, Xiao Ming still focused on high-altitude reconnaissance, tourism in Qingzhou City, and another is advertising.
Imagine how many people's attention would be attracted if a large advertisement was hung on a hot air balloon.
Xiao Ming could already imagine that businessmen were competing to place advertisements on hot air balloons.
The last role of the hot air balloon is to deliver news and rescue key people when the city is under siege, and of course, he doesn't want to use this method one day.
In any case, he still appreciates the courage to support Lin Wentao to try hot air ballooning.
It's just a bit of time to wait for the flight.
Let Zhao Long and Zhao Hu cooperate with Lin Wentao to put away the hot air balloon, and soon after, the students of the School of Physics also arrived.
After they saluted Xiao Ming, they stepped forward to help Lin Wentao put away the hot air balloon.
Xiao Ming looked at the busy students with satisfaction, and in them, he finally saw a trace of change.
And this shift is only going to become more apparent.
When the students were busy here, Qingzhou City had already exploded, and the people who came and went, and the merchants who came and went all rushed to the city gate.
There were more and more people around the hot air balloon, and soon the area where the hot air balloon landed was surrounded.
All of them had a deep curiosity on their faces.
Looking at the many onlookers, Xiao Ming's heart moved, he may be able to use this hot air balloon time to popularize scientific knowledge among the people, so as to enlighten the people's wisdom.
In the crowd, Xiao Ming also saw Cao Zhengyang, who was looking at the busy students with a shocked face, his mouth open and closed.
Since ancient times, people have been in awe of the sky, flying is an unattainable dream, and you can imagine the shock caused to them by a hot air balloon floating through space.
For foreign businessmen, the hot air balloon made them feel that Qingzhou was becoming more and more mysterious, and the King of Qi was becoming more and more unpredictable, and from their hearts, they gradually became full of awe of Qingzhou.
King Qi can even do things like flying to the sky, and what else can't he do.
The local businessmen were surprised and looked at the foreign businessmen at the same time, their faces were full of pride, as if to say, look, this is our Qingzhou, see which of you still dares to say that our Qingzhou is shabby.
Seeing that there were more and more people surrounding him, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly rushed over, and they sent some people to surround Xiao Ming in the middle, and another part to disperse the people.
Now the situation in Qingzhou is complicated, and Xiao Ming's safety is the most sensitive string in everyone's heart.
After Lin Wentao sorted out the hot air balloon and let the carriage pull it back, Xiao Ming returned to the city.
Speaking of which, it was also the first time he had seen a hot air balloon, and although he was very clear about the structure of the hot air balloon, it was the first time he had seen the actual thing, so he was also full of curiosity.
On the way back, Xiao Ming and Lin Wentao kept chatting.
Lin Wentao preliminarily said the next step to realize the hot air balloon for people to ride, while Xiao Ming said about letting the hot air balloon conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, and also talked about the role of other hot air balloons.
Especially when he said that he could also use hot air balloons to earn silver, Lin Wentao became more and more excited, because he felt that the hot air balloons he made were at least not a useless thing, and the silver was not spent in vain.
And Xiao Ming also promised him that if the hot air balloon could bring income, he would invest all the money in Bowen College.
