After the last failure of Feitian, Zhang Bao discovered the two main problems.
One is about fuel. According to Zhang Bao's estimation, the extra-large candle he made can continue to burn for about two hours.
If there are two people sitting in this hot air balloon, two more candles can be installed, which means that it can last for six hours.
And if the inflation process is used up in the early stage and immediately replaced with a new one, the duration can be longer.
But this process is not so smooth, after all, the candle will continue to melt as it burns.
The cross-section of the candle specially made by Zhang Bao is too large, so when the candle burns, it will only burn in the middle part, not the two ends.
Therefore, the heat provided later is obviously not as good as at the beginning.
This time cannot be completely calculated according to six hours.
Another problem is that of motivation.
Now during the test, the ability to float towards the city gate depends entirely on the force of the wind.
And if the direction of the wind is wrong, or there is no wind at all, this will not work.
Hot air balloons in later generations used jet devices to control power, but this is indeed difficult for Zhang Bao to achieve now.
But Zhang Bao had heard from his parachuting comrades before that the air was actually layered.
The wind direction at different heights is also completely different, or even opposite.
There is also absolute stillness at a certain height, that is, there is no wind force.
So Zhang Bao tied a small hot air balloon with a rope and took it into the air to conduct experiments.
Sure enough, the wind direction below 200 meters is completely different from the wind direction above 200 meters. Even as long as it exceeds 200 meters, the airflow above will be relatively stable.
Once you have mastered these, it will be easy. For example, during a war, you only need to keep the hot air balloon above the enemy's camp after dark, and use the cover of night to drop explosive packets down.
It takes about six or seven seconds for explosives to fall from a height of more than 200 meters. You only need to delay the lead of the explosive package for a certain period of time.
This is simply the Kirov airship in Red Alert, and it’s absolutely invincible!
In this way, it is called a dimensionality reduction attack!
Zhang Bao is very excited. As long as he overcomes these difficulties, he will be invincible!
If the speed can be increased, let alone people from other states, even if they want to deal with the emperor, they can just float directly to the palace.
But before Zhang Bao's research had even begun, Lao He ran into trouble.
turn out to be.
At that time, the scene of Lao He flying into the sky was seen by many people in Sanhe County.
This is completely beyond the scope of their cognition.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that time many people knelt down in front of Lao He and kowtowed. They regarded Lao He as a god from heaven.
In the past two days, Lao He had been treating the arrow wound on his buttocks at home. He had been holding it in for several days, but it made Lao He uncomfortable. After Lao He could get out of bed, he went for a walk on the street.
As a result, as soon as Lao He went out, the few people he saw instantly stayed where they were. They didn't even react when the things in their hands fell, and then they knelt down to Lao He.
Kowtowed repeatedly.
Old He was shocked.
He jumped up quickly.
Finally, I arrived at a fruit stall and wanted to buy some fruit. Unexpectedly, the fruit farmer filled the fruit directly and gave it to Lao He with a flattering look on his face.
It's not just fruit.
Lao He walked this way and almost moved the entire market home.
"What's going on?"
"Are all these people out there crazy?"
Lao He returned home in confusion.
"Dad, you don't know it yet, but you are so awesome now!"
"Everyone is shouting outside, Dad, you are a god descending to earth, so of course they will fawn over you if you go out!"
"There are a lot of people at the door now. I heard that you are back and want to meet you."
"By the way, the second aunt next door came to me just now and told me that she wanted another boy doll and wanted to ask dad for your help."
"..."
The people from the women’s kitchen knife brigade smiled and said to Lao He.
"Pull him down!"
"Your second aunt next door is almost sixty, is she still alive?"
"Besides, if she gives birth to a baby, she can't ask me for help..."
Lao He has a black streak on his head.
"Let's see. Those people outside can't always squat in front of our house. I still have some private money here. You can give it to them and let them disperse."
With a pained look on his face, Lao He handed some of the girls the little money he had saved from doing private work.
The girls happily went out to share the money.
The result was unexpected.
Lao He originally wanted to pay these people to leave, but he never thought that it would have the opposite effect.
Now, in addition to the title of a god descending to the earth, Lao He now has the title of Laozi who spreads wealth.
A moment.
People who were short of money in the entire Sanhe County Government flocked to Lao He's door.
Don't say anything, just bow your head.
Look at that posture, if you don’t give us money, we will kneel down until we die!
Lao He is numb.
If someone comes and gives money, then no matter how powerful the productivity is, it will not be able to keep up.
no way.
Lao He took advantage of the silence of the night, ignored the injury on his buttocks, climbed over the wall and went out to look for Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao was happy when he heard this.
After all, I still underestimate the level of awareness of ordinary people in this world. If everyone now has faith, wouldn't it be possible to respond to everything at once?
Thinking about the various vigorous movements back then, why they were able to achieve some earth-shaking results, a very important point is because they had the core issue of faith.
For the people of Daxia now.
Imperial power, to put it bluntly, has no influence at all on ordinary people, not as much as the influence of the local county magistrate.
As for who becomes the emperor, it really doesn't matter.
But Grandpa Tian is different.
For these people now.
They have been able to realize that there is a mysterious power in heaven that controls every aspect of their lives, such as making a fortune, giving birth to a boy, or raining. These are all controlled by gods in the sky.
of.
By chance, Lao He was dragged by a hot air balloon and fell from the sky.
Wouldn't it be much more powerful if it could be put to good use?
Moreover, if the paint on this hot air balloon can be painted like Lao He's head, when it flies into the clouds in mid-air, when the people below see it, why don't they kneel down collectively?
Zhang Bao's eyes lit up, as if he had found a strength to compete with power in today's Daxia...
