Chapter 755 Hot Air Balloon!

After breakfast, Han Xuan rode on Winnie to set off.

Today is a gentle breeze, which is a good day to ride a hot air balloon.

I called the resort at home, but the other party was ready and just waited for him to come over.

It is the dream of countless people to be able to fly in the sky in colorful hot air balloons and see the beautiful scenery of the earth.

For some people, it may be difficult to achieve in their entire lives.

It is not difficult for Han Xuan. Snow Mountain Resort now has fourteen hot air balloons for tourists to use.

After the news of the new hot air balloons added in the Snow Mountain Ranch, paragliding has attracted many enthusiasts who have come here. Recently, the number of guests who have come to spring outings is no less than the winter skiing season.

Each person spends a total of seventy-five dollars each time he rides a hot air balloon.

Or you can also pack a ball, which costs 490 US dollars at a time to go to the sky, which is about 45 minutes, but it requires staff to accompany you.

There are about ten people in the hanging basket. Depending on the size of the passenger, it is enough to not exceed 750 kilograms.

Tourists in tour groups usually book the entire ball, which is more cost-effective.

I missed the time to enjoy the sunrise. When Han Xuan arrived at the designated location, he could see a group of people busy tidying up their airbags in the empty fields.

A cartoon panda was painted on the white cloth. I saw it in the sky before. Little Barry was still anxious to chase it.

"Hello, Han.

I am Joshua, and I will take you to the sky this time.”

A young man with a big nose who was less than twenty-five years old and had an ordinary appearance, with a head of light red hair, walked up to Han Xuan and said.

Jason was worried about the hot air balloon.

After becoming a diva, the lives of his own people were handed over to the young man named Joshua, and asked, "Man, is this thing safe?

I saw it on the news that a hot air balloon in Türkiye burned during a flight, and all eight people died, which seemed quite dangerous."

Han Xuan then glared at Jason, the disappointed guy, and said angrily: "Bao! What does hot air balloon burn!"

"I just want to ask clearly just in case..."

Joshua smiled and shook his head: "No, I have driven the hot air balloon more than 900 times, and there has never been any danger.

The hot air balloon you mentioned caught fire is due to improper operation and the flames emitted by the burner are too large and burned to the airbag.

Even if it catches fire, as long as it is used to extinguish the fire quickly, it can generally escape safely. Our seventh-level ball is the most advanced hot air balloon on the market.

It has two sets of combustion systems. If any set is broken, the other set can be started at any time, which is very safe."

Han Xuan asked him curiously: "What is a level 7 hot air balloon?"

"Seventh level refers to the volume of a hot air balloon after it is filled with air.

The volume of the seventh-level sphere is 2000-2400 cubic meters; the volume of the eighth-level sphere is 2400-3000 cubic meters; the volume of the ninth-level sphere is 3000-4000 cubic meters; the volume of the tenth-level sphere is 4000-6000 cubic meters.

The larger the size, the higher the flight, and the more passengers you take.

There are still people using special-shaped balls. The airbag looks like basketballs, monkey heads, whales, etc.

The hot air balloon will be launched first later. I will take you to see it. There is some safety knowledge that needs to be taught to you.

For example, when a hot air balloon lands, the hanging basket may jump and bump, and you need to learn a safe landing posture..."

Han Xuan looked in the direction of Joshua's finger. The eight people of the ages vary greatly, including old and young, and looked like special tourists from generation to generation. They were standing next to a colorful striped hot air balloon and talking excitedly.

The staff spread the airbags flat, then put the hanging basket down and lay them flat. After gestured the OK gesture, someone took several bottle-shaped fuel tanks and installed them in the hanging basket.

Joshua introduced as he walked: "Hot air balloons usually use propane or liquefied gas, and a hot air balloon can carry about 20 kilograms of liquid fuel.

The burner is the heart of a hot air balloon and burns compressed gas with energy 150 times larger than that of a general household gas stove.

Are your clothes pure cotton?"

"Yes, what did they ask me to wear when they called?"

Han Xuan showed him the red and white plaid shirt on his body: "100% pure cotton."

"That's good. Wear pure cotton clothes and will not burn and stick to your body after a fire. There have been such accidents before."

Upon hearing this, Du Ersha took a few deep breaths and looked around: "Where is there a place to change clothes? I'm going to take it off."

“…”

To take off a hot air balloon, at least four people need to cooperate and help.

They first connected the balloons and the hanging basket on the side, and used a small blower to blow the wind into the balloons, causing the balloons to expand bit by bit.

When fully unfolded, the driver began to ignite.

The burner suddenly had a column of fire more than two meters long, making a deafening sound.

Heat is constantly poured into the airtight airbag, heating the air in it, making it become huge quickly.

Wait until the balloon rises perpendicular to the hanging basket, add a few more fires.

The balloon stood upright and would have been about to fly away if it hadn't been pulled by a rope.

The driver adjusted the flames and waved his hands to call the tourists to sit in. The old woman was so scared that she had not taken off and covered her chest and wanted to retreat.

The younger generations smiled and picked her up and put her into the hanging basket. The children laughed excitedly.

After the ground staff untied the rope, the flames of the burner became larger again.

The hot air balloon gradually takes off the ground and can rise four or five meters in one second, becoming smaller and smaller

"Let's go, we'll fly too!

Where will these hot air balloons fly in the end without ropes?”

Han Xuan asked.

Joshua spread his hands and replied, "We don't know either.

The wind is not strong today, otherwise you can only rise and fall on the spot.

According to regulations, the visibility exceeds 1.5 kilometers and the wind speed is less than 6 meters per second before it can fly freely.

It shouldn't fly too far, just around the ranch, find the right place to make it convenient for you to land.

Hot air balloons are not really driven by us, they follow the wind.

Since the wind has different directions and speeds at different heights, you can choose the appropriate height according to the direction you need to fly.

The size of the flame sprayed out by the burner is used to control the lifting and lowering.”

After hearing his words, Han Xuan was covered in black.

If he hadn't known that more than 20,000 hot air balloons around the world, sometimes he wouldn't have an accident in a year, he would never dare to sit.

He joked: "You should install a propeller behind the hanging basket so that you can control the direction at will, just like these paragliders in the sky."

"You're talking about airships, not hot air balloons"

The same as the hot air balloon that Han Xuan was about to take off, the hot air balloon that he was about to take also became larger as the burner emitted a fire column and heated it and stopped floating on the ground.

After sitting in, Joshua asked, “Are you ready?

I'm going to take off.

These gentlemen, you are too tall, please don’t stand up at will and be careful to touch the burner in your head.”

Jason sat down, grabbed the railing with both hands, and muttered: "Don't worry, I won't stand up even if you beg me to stand. I always feel like I'll fall off if I accidentally." (To be continued.)
