1227.Hot Air Balloon Flying (7/10)
During the meal, Qin Shiou asked, "You say, should we insert campaign ads on TV stations?" ”
Winnie and Auerbach looked at him in shock.
Qin Shiou said his thoughts: "We can do public service announcements, let Winnie be the protagonist, protect the fishery, protect the ecology, protect the children, etc., what do you think?" ”
Auerbach said, "Do you want Winnie to run in the next mayoral election?" ”
Qin Shiou said: "Of course not, it's okay to be the mayor of the town." ”
Auerbach wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "OK, then you don't have to worry about it, I'll take care of the rest with Winnie." ”
The old lawyer's words hurt Qin Shiou's glass heart, what do you mean, my daughter-in-law is participating in the mayoral election, can I not care? Besides, I don't care who cares.
After eating, Qin Shiou dragged Brother Mink and Sister Mink to the sofa with a serious face.
The two little guys have lived a very happy life these days, they will find a place to sleep when they are full of food and drink, this will form a habit, and they will eat and drink again tonight, and they want to go back to the nest to sleep, but they were carried over by Qin Shiou, so they had to yawn dissatisfied.
Qin Shiou looked at the little ones with a serious expression, and then he said: "The election is about to start, Winnie and Daddy Ao don't pay much attention to this election, they underestimate their opponents, don't they?" ”
Brother Mink continued to yawn, rolling her eyes to find a place to run back to her soft lair.
Their attitude made Qin Shiou very dissatisfied, what is the difference between this and Winnie and Auerbach's attitude towards the election? He can't clean up Winnie and Auerbach, and he can't clean up these two little cubs?
Turning around and finding her daughter who was scurrying all over the ground, Qin Shiou carried her and put her in front of Brother Mink. "Go, melon." Play with them! ”
Brother Mink and Sister Mink have never seen the power of little melons, and they take it lightly. Then he was held in his arms by the little melon, and then he was sent into his mouth.
This freaks out the two brothers and sisters,, is this really going to be eaten? Help, there is something to discuss, you don't have to use the nuclear weapon that eats them at every turn!
Qin Shiou solved them, and now Brother Mink and Sister Mink were honest, lying in front of him with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, whatever he said was what he said.
teased the two tender little ones for a while. QIN SHIOU LET GO AND LET THEM GO TO SLEEP, HE HELD THE IPAD AND WENT ONLINE TO START LOOKING FOR WEAPONS TO HELP THE ELECTION.
Before Hamlet participated in the election, although Qin Shiou did not have the whole experience, he also participated in the key role, and some of the campaign methods were still understood.
Now that a large-scale sticker method has been used, the next step is to focus on the assault, Qin Shiou thought about it, the town is like this, it is really inappropriate to advertise on the TV station. Then buy a hot air balloon and fly it up directly over the town so anyone can see it.
He searched the internet and found that the nearest hot air balloon manufacturer was in Montreal. Looking at the introduction, it is imported from Turkey, and the quality is very reliable.
There are four main types of hot air balloons: AA type, AX type, AM type, and AS type.
Among them, type AA is filled with lighter than air gases such as hydrogen or helium. The airbag is not airtight and has no heating device; The AX type is filled with air in the airbag. The air is heated by the device to make it lighter and gain lift. Also known as a hot air balloon; The AM type is a balloon filled with both "light gas" and a heated device; The AS type is specially filled with "light air", and the airbag is closed, and because the height can be controlled by the inflation volume, it is often used in scientific research.
Among the four types of balloons, Qin Shiou is the most optimistic about the AM type hot air balloon, because this kind of balloon is the most expensive under the same specifications, and the most expensive thing may not be the best, but it must be better than the lower price.
The AM balloon is also called the Roze hot air balloon, which was invented by the French physicist and pioneer of hot air balloon flight in the 18th century, and was also named after him, but in the nineties of the last century, the hot air balloon expert Cameron improved it, and the technology of this hot air balloon is now very mature.
The Roze hot air balloon uses two layers of air bags, the air bag inside is a helium balloon, the air is filled between the two layers of air bags, and a burner is placed underneath.
In this way, the helium airbag can maintain a certain buoyancy all the time during the flight. In addition, sunlight can be used to heat the air between the two layers of airbags during the day to generate buoyancy, and then turn on the burner to heat the air at night.
The hot air balloon that Qin Shiou wants to buy is the AM-7 hot air balloon, the specific code name is the 'Archangel F2 generation AM hot air balloon', it is not like an ordinary hot air balloon, people ride in a big basket, this kind of hot air balloon has a pressure chamber with excellent sealing performance, the material of the pressure chamber is tempered glass, indestructible and excellent transparency.
What attracted him was not how luxurious this hot air balloon was, but the safety performance of the hot air balloon of the 'Archangel' series was very good, it had a double guarantee, if there was a helium leak during the flight, the hot air balloon could be turned into a traditional hot air balloon, completely heated to maintain the altitude.
If the leakage is too large to maintain altitude, the balloon will act as a parachute, controlling the descent speed to within 5 meters per second. If the situation continues to deteriorate, the pressure chamber can be removed from the hot air balloon with just one operation, maximizing the safety of the user's life.
Qin Shiou said that in repeated round-the-world flights, this kind of hot air balloon has only had two accidents, in December 1998 and March 2009, and there were no casualties, and the reliability is very high.
After reading the introduction for a while, after learning more about the hot air balloon, he found that this thing is the same as a computer, it can be assembled, you can buy your own balloons, hanging baskets, safety compartments, burners, fuel systems, tethering systems, blowers, etc., as long as you are not afraid of death, you can get it casually.
Qin Shiou naturally didn't assemble it himself, not because he was afraid of death, but because he didn't understand, he was optimistic about the Luo Ze hot air balloon of the Archangel F2 generation, and the price of the whole set was 158,000 Canadian dollars, which was the most expensive of the same kind of hot air balloon.
The general price of an ordinary AX hot air balloon is between 10,000 Canadian dollars and 50,000 Canadian dollars, and the Roze hot air balloon is the most expensive, because its function is mainly to travel around the world, such as the "Budweiser" beer and beverage company holds the hot air balloon round-the-world flight competition called the Budweiser Cup every year, and the contestants use this kind of hot air balloon.
The Montreal hot air balloon production company has a partnership with Budweiser, and Qin Shiou buys a hot air balloon and automatically qualifies for this year's competition, that is, he needs to complete the round the world race by December 31 this year.
After placing the order, someone immediately called Qin Shiou and introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Qin, I am Johnson Eric, account manager of Archangel Hot Air Balloon Sports Co., Ltd., you ordered a Archangel F2 generation AM hot air balloon, right?" Do you have any questions or requests? ”
Qin Shiou said: "I don't have any doubts, but there is one, send it as soon as possible!" ”
Johnson-Eric was silent for a moment, presumably counting the time, and then said: "It will be delivered around two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, can you see this time?" ”
"Yes!" That's fast enough.
After ordering a hot air balloon, Qin Shiou thought about it, and immediately called one of the largest printing houses in St. John's and asked them to make an extra-long banner, which was faster, he asked how long it would take to make it, and the other party told him that as long as the money was in place, he could get it out in an hour!
