Jing Yu looked at Scarlett Saimen with some surprise. He guessed how the other party asked the captain of the airship to allow them to visit. Perhaps the airship would have allowed first-class guests like her to visit, or because the captain knew the origin of Scarlett Saimen?

No matter what, since the other party allowed it, Jing Yu was still happy to go and see how the airship was controlled.

The man in uniform was in front, and Archie Harden pushed Scarlett in the wheelchair, and Jing Yu went together behind. The man walked and told Scarlett. Scarlett. Scarlett said: "Miss Saimen, our 'Flying White Elephant' airship is 350 meters long and is a hard airship. In other words, in addition to the outer skin you can see, there is also a wooden frame support inside, which makes it easier to use multiple airbags to create a larger airship without distortion and change in appearance. You should know that ordinary soft-shell airships cannot be built larger after exceeding a certain volume."

He explained the advantages of the hard airship, and then introduced: "Our airship consists of eleven airbags. The largest airbag can hold 30,000 cubic meters of gas, and the smallest airbag also has a gas volume of nearly 10,000 cubic meters. The main lift of our airship comes from helium airbags and hydrogen airbags. Miss Saimen, if you know the special type of hydrogen, you will know that the lift of hydrogen is greater than that of helium, but hydrogen has some minor problems, so we use safer helium in the pod and front and rear positions, which is enough to ensure that the airship is very safe under any circumstances. You must know that our company's airship has never had a passenger casualty accident."

It seemed that he realized that it was not appropriate to explain this information to the passengers, so he soon changed the topic, talking about how good the airship was, how satisfied the passengers were, and the evaluations of the big guys they carried on the airship, etc.

Jing Yu listened to his introduction and asked curiously: "How much can this airship carry?"

The man in uniform glanced at Scarlett Saimen and saw that she seemed to be interested in Jing Yu's question, so he explained: "Sir, the 'Flying White Elephant' can carry a weight of 120 tons. If the weight of the airship itself is included, it can carry a maximum of 280 tons."

This data is very good. It seems that the lift of the airship is very strong. Jing Yu didn't know how they achieved it, so he asked: "How many cubic meters of hydrogen and helium do you have in total?"

He saw that Scarlett Symon had no objection, so he continued to explain: "This 'Flying White Elephant' has a total of 200,000 cubic meters of helium, and 60,000 cubic meters of hydrogen. Of course, this is the volume of gas that has been filled into the airbag. In addition to the airbag, there are also gas cylinders inside the airbag that store hydrogen and oxygen, which are used to replenish in case of gas leakage and maintain the lift of the airbag."

"Do you use a steam engine to drive the airship?" Jing Yu continued to ask.

"The steam engine is only used for auxiliary driving." The man in uniform did not understand why Scarlett. Saimen had no objection to this man who looked like a foreigner frequently asked, so he could only continue to answer, "The airship mainly relies on wind power. Since the wind directions at different heights are not the same, we can use the wind power to drive us forward as long as we find the wind direction at the right height. Of course, the steam engine will also drive the propeller to assist in the advance, so the speed will be faster."

Jing Yu seemed to have many problems, but at this time the man in uniform spoke, "Miss Saimen, gentlemen, we have arrived, and the captain is waiting for your visit."

Only then did Jing Yu notice that they had been walking for a few minutes to reach the roughly head of the airship. A corridor that was not deep looked like there was no room, and there was only a black metal door that looked very strong at the end.

"Sir Captain, Miss Saimen is here." The man in uniform took off a round tube with a flexible arm that could move from the wall beside the door. The head of the tube looked like a shower head for bathing, but it was completely hollow. The other end connected to the wall seemed to lead to the inside. He said to the shower head.

Then after waiting for a while, a reply that had already changed in tune and sound came from the shower head, "Okay, please come in." As the reply came out of the black door, the man in uniform pulled the door open.

Jing Yu stretched his head and looked at the door. It was a room that was not very big, but it looked very good because large areas of glass allowed light from outside to enter, making the round arch-shaped room look very bright.

Jing Yu saw that the front half of the semicircular arched room was a console at the waist of a person. There were many valves of different sizes and colors on it. At one glance, there were at least a dozen or twenty.

Naturally, you can observe the porthole with large glass on the outside. Several people in white uniforms are standing wherever they are busy. Some are holding the valve and turning, while others are holding the table and looking forward.

On the walls of the rear half of the room, Jing Yu could only see various valves on it. In addition to the valves, there are pipes of different thicknesses that extend out, including black, brass, and red. I don’t know what they are for.

A man with a big brimmed hat and a white beard came over and said to them: "Welcome to the 'Flying White Elephant' control cabin, I am the captain of this airship, Radley Victor, and I will be honored to introduce our airship to you."

"Thank you, Captain Victor, it's a pleasure to come to your airship. I hope our arrival will not affect your work." Scarlett Symon said.

"Of course not, Miss Saimen. Now it's time for them to take over the operation. I'm here to pay special respects to you, otherwise I'm still in my room at this time."

The two continued to talk, and Jing Yu knew that they would give him a gift to Scarlett and Saimen. In this case, he should not interrupt first, but let the two of them greet him first.

After entering the cabin, he noticed that in addition to the valves, there were many instruments of various sizes on the operating table, so he found that some of them could roughly see what they did, but some did not know what they did.

However, Jing Yu did not expect that Miss Scarlett, who looked soft and weak, was not afraid of this scene at all. She looked very generous when she was polite with Captain Radley Victor. On the contrary, Captain Victor quickly could not keep up with her rhythm and seemed a little clumsy in etiquette.

Of course, Captain Victor also found that he was not good at this, so he spoke, "Miss Saimen, why not let me introduce the operation of this airship to you?"

"I am very honored to hear your introduction, please, Mr. Captain." Scarlett Symon replied.
