The Archangel company is really fast, they said that it could be delivered at two o'clock in the afternoon, but in fact, just after noon, Johnson called and said: "Mr. Qin, we have arrived at St. John's Airport, and now we need you to pick up the goods." ”

Qin Shiou wanted the hot air balloon to be delivered directly to the island, but Johnson was embarrassed and told him that they were sent by cargo plane, and according to the regulations, it was only delivered to the city where the customer was located, especially in places like Farewell Island, where he lived alone overseas, and it could not be delivered.

The other party had already surprised himself in terms of speed, so Qin Shiou would not be embarrassed, so he would extract it himself.

Johnson was waiting outside the St. John's airport, and when Qin Shiou arrived, he was negotiating something with two airport staff.

There are still relatively few Chinese in St. John's, and when Johnson saw Qin Shiou's face, he said sorry to the airport staff, then stretched out his hand and asked enthusiastically, "Mr. Qin, hello?" ”

Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Hello, I'm Qin, where is the hot air balloon?" ”

Johnson explained: "It hasn't been transported yet, it's like this, Mr. Qin, our hot air balloon is relatively large, you ordered a seven-level hot air balloon, you have to use a truck to transport, my idea is, let's hold up the balloon at the airport, and then take the hot air balloon to your island, what do you think?" ”

The volume of a standard hot air balloon is divided into several levels, such as a seven-stage ball with a volume of 2000-2400 cubic meters, an eight-level ball with a volume of 2400-3000 cubic meters, a nine-level ball with a volume of 3000-4000 cubic meters, and a ten-level ball with a volume of 4000-6000 cubic meters.

There are also shaped balls, and Montreal has a hot air balloon festival. Every year, there are many special-shaped balls, which are made of hot air balloons in various shapes - star balloons, spaceship balloons. There's even a humanoid hot air balloon.

Qin Shiou is used to buying big things, but not this time. The ten-level hot air balloon took off and landed too hard every time, and he bought a seven-level ball, which could theoretically be used for round-the-world travel.

After listening to Johnson's words, Qin Daguan thought about it, and it was good to sit in a hot air balloon and return to the town, which is estimated to cause a considerable shock below.

In the past, hot air balloons were used in Hamre's elections and town celebrations, but they were all small and only used to hang banners, unlike the hot air balloons he ordered this time. It can accommodate a family living on it.

After Qin Shiou nodded and said yes, Johnson took a deep breath and said, "Then, there is only one question left, I need to ask for the same from the airport and hang the hot air balloon here." ”

An airport official listened to him and said in the back: "No way, sir, we need to be responsible for the airport, for all passengers." Hot air balloons are not allowed to rise within a twenty-kilometer radius around the airport. Otherwise, there is a danger of affecting the vision of our aircraft. ”

Johnson went back to talk to the two men, trying to convince them to approve his proposal, but the two leaders did not listen to him and waved him away.

Qin Shiou paused for a while. "Sorry, I'll interrupt, is this a national regulation or an airport regulation?" Is it not allowed for a hot air balloon to take off within 20 kilometers of the airport? ”

The person in charge shrugged and said, "It's not a rule, but it's our responsibility to rule out situations that could cause danger." ”

Johnson said helplessly: "There is no danger in this. We hold hot air balloon races that start and end at the airport, and Montreal has a hot air balloon festival. It is also held near the international airport. ”

The person in charge still shook his head and said that Montreal is Montreal, and this is St. John's.

Qin Shiou didn't want to waste time, he asked: "I am a VIP member of the Air Canada Passenger Alliance, do I not have the right to use the airport as a hot air balloon landing field?" ”

When he first came to St. John's, the two elderly people were detained by customs because of a misunderstanding, Qin Shiou protested, and the Air Canada Alliance compensated him.

This VIP member can enjoy a lot of privileges, Qin Shiou remembers that when he first read the membership card analysis manual, there was a VIP member who could temporarily use a parking stand at the airport, including parking, parking private jets and parking hot air balloons.

Qin Shiou said and took out his VIP membership card, Air Canada's card was very elegantly made, with his avatar, name and number on it, the two people in charge looked at it carefully, and then looked at him strangely and asked, "Are you the Chinese Qin who said goodbye to the island?" ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Qin Daguan said, "If it's fake, man." ”

The two leaders got together and muttered for a while, and the older one said, "We can't be the master, so we have to report to our superiors and wait for news from our door." ”

After making a phone call, the person in charge nodded and said, "Okay, you can fly the hot air balloon here, but it's only four hours old." ”

Qin Shiou looked at Johnson tentatively, and the latter nodded and said: "No problem, the current hot air balloon adopts modular connection, only one of the inflation process is relatively slow, and the other combination is fast, especially we have a professional team." ”

The two officials coordinated with the airport and told Johnson that it was okay, and the latter called, and a large flatbed truck hired from the airport drove up, with huge and tightly bandaged parts, followed by a small water tanker-shaped engineering truck.

Johnson brought a team of more than a dozen people with him, and they quickly unpacked the tight packaging, revealing the accessories one by one.

Without a single accessory, Johnson explained to Qin Shiou: "Look, this is a balloon, made of a new type of high-strength hybrid nylon, don't look at it is very thin, it is actually very heat-resistant, light-resistant and friction-resistant......"

"This is the hanging basket and the safety compartment, the hanging basket needs to be assembled, wait a little bit, let's move on. This is the burner, which is the most advanced four-nozzle setup in the world, and this is the four brackets, all of which are made of alloy, how about it, it's cool, right? ”

"This is a blower, the power is large enough, this is the special gas cylinder valve for hot air balloons, there are also gas tank belts, tethering ropes, safety hooks, repair materials, please check it out, this is all essential."

"And, of course, our certificates, resumes, and hot air balloon permits."

Under Johnson's guidance, Qin Shiou watched them one by one, and then exclaimed: "Damn, it's really difficult to let such a hot air balloon fly." ”

Johnson laughed: "Of course, this is a dangerous vehicle after all, and we have to be fully prepared before we can take off." As for these accessories, each one must not be missing, let alone dysfunctional, everything is ready, Mr. Qin, please wait for two hours, the hot air balloon can fly! (To be continued......)
