Chapter 50 Hot Air Balloons

After two causes and effects were resolved, the cold wind blew all the way, and with the relief of kicking someone, I felt a lot better inexplicably.

Speaking of which, I didn’t kick the butt I just kicked well. I thought I would feel comfortable on my feet and the other person wouldn’t be in too much pain. However, I didn’t expect that the other person’s butt looked big and didn’t have much flesh.

Should have thought of it.

Zhou Tai is summarizing himself!

Then he quickly looked at the direction he was heading at the moment. He was heading east. This needed to be checked constantly. It would be bad if he accidentally went in the wrong direction.

There is no compass, but in this world, he has learned to look at the sun to identify the direction, so unless it is cloudy, Zhou Tai generally does not worry about going in the wrong direction.

The plan to travel eastward would not change, but after walking like this for a few days, Zhou Tai felt that he still needed to make some preparations.

Walking on two legs is too inefficient. It’s not that I feel like I’m walking slowly, but that I feel that the distance is too far, and I might be walking at a broken leg pace.

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

The idea at that time was not true, it was not practical at all, and it was not feasible. It was just a thought, but because the idea was so unique, Zhou Tai remembered it, but now, the plan became feasible.

Originally, if a hot air balloon wanted to carry enough weight, it had to be large enough to hold more hot air and fly.

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

Because it has to carry so much weight, and if there is no suitable lightweight material, the hot air balloon will be very heavy, and the required hot air balloon will be very huge.

Even if you have gone through a lot of hard work and succeeded in taking off, what should you do if it falls into a river or other inconvenient place when you land? Should you just throw it away?

It takes a lot of effort to hold, but it would be a pity to lose it! Therefore, let’s not say whether it can be made. It is unrealistic to make it and drive with it.

But because of the large space for storage equipment, all this is not a problem.

Fuel, weighted sandbags, and daily necessities can all be placed in the storage equipment. Just carry your own weight or the weight of a lighter weight. In this way, the hot air balloon does not need to be particularly huge.

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

By the way, in order to prevent any flying birds from attacking the hot air balloon, you also need a long-range attack equipment. It must be good to get a crossbow and strengthen it with strengthening points. If the crossbow is strengthened, the crossbow arrows will not be strengthened if it is not necessary, because with

The crossbow arrows hitting the strengthened points are shot out from the hot air balloon in the sky and are difficult to retrieve.

Dare to make a hot air balloon because Zhou Tai understands the principles of hot air balloons very well and 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, you can use this 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 direction of movement must follow the wind.

The wind direction is different at different heights and at different times. If you want to adjust the direction, you need to find different wind layers. If you can't hit the wind in the direction you want to go, you can only fall to the ground and wait for the wind to come.

The burner is easy to make, a big burning ball can be the burner.

The second method is to adjust the direction by the sandbag on the basket, and use the different positions of the sandbag to control the balance of the balloon. For example, if it is hung to the right, the center of gravity of the balloon will be to the right, and the entire balloon will tilt to the right. It will move to the right according to the principle of centrifugal force, and it will quickly drop to

Once it hits the ground, heat it up and then readjust its direction.

It's easy to control the lifting. When heated, it rises. To descend, just open a valve at the top of the hot air balloon and control it with a rope. Just put some hot air in it and close it. The hot air balloon will fall. If you want to fall faster, just put more air in it.

Just heat.

As for the materials for making hot air balloons, you can always find suitable materials. If the Kongming Lantern is made, the hot air balloon will be made!

Thinking about it this way, it can be done, and the sharpening of the knife will not miss the chance to chop wood!

Zhou Tai stopped and thought quietly. Before making a hot air balloon, he needs to do two things first. One is to get money, a lot of it! The other is to buy an item such as a sachet that can be strengthened by strengthening points.

It is a space equipment specially used to hold hot air balloons. There cannot be only one hot air balloon. If it breaks, there is also a spare.

In the spirit of if one breaks, there should be a backup, and if the backup breaks, there should be a backup, so at least three need to be made.

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

It is a correct operation if it can be made and can fly. If all the items are retrieved first, but the result is that they cannot fly, wouldn't it be a waste?

Three months later.

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

After selling jade to make money, searching for materials, purchasing items, choosing a test location, etc., it took nearly a month. It took another two months to make it. After many failures, a successful unmanned flight was carried out yesterday.

I don’t know why, but people here are very fond of jade, especially high-quality jade, which can be sold at very high prices. Since he has grown up a lot and become bolder, Zhou Tai has conducted several jade transactions that exceeded his expectations.

, maybe it was good luck, or whatever, nothing bad happened, which is good.

The materials of the hot air balloon were also changed again and again. Zhou Tai first used the same materials to make a small hot air balloon of equal proportions. Only after this small hot air balloon was qualified did he start to consider making a larger hot air balloon.

At first, I found a very light and well-sealed material. I thought I was lucky, but I found out that the material was not strong enough and not heat-resistant. The small hot air balloon flew into the sky and fell down in less than ten seconds.

.

Because it flew slowly and not high, it fell very suddenly and almost landed on Zhou Tai. He was shocked at the time because the burning substance that provided power was kerosene. If it fell on him, he would lose half his life.

It must be gone.

Therefore, subsequent experiments were conducted with great caution.

Although it is said that the hot air balloon can be made smaller because it has little weight, in the end it was over eight meters tall.

The small one worked 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 in various ways, and finally found out that the heat for ignition 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 the hard work paid off. After many experiments and design changes, the design was finally successful.
