Chapter 1707: Flying Over the Ocean
"Wow." The sewing machine on the foot, with a dull sound, swayed up and down the sewing needles on the nose, nailing two pieces of thick cloth together.
Under the sewing machine, there was already a large amount of silk cloth, piled up in a pile, and the two legs of the female worker kept stepping on the pedals below to sew the silk cloth.
"Alright, it's done." The female worker said.
It was just an ordinary house, and when the female worker had done it, she folded the silk cloth in half and put it at the door, outside, a man on a bicycle was going from house to house collecting the finished product.
This is the industrial model of the island nation.
In other countries, it is in the form of a factory, and a large number of workers work in the factory, but in the island country, it is still a situation of small handicraft workshops.
Even if it is to manufacture airplanes, it is a handicraft workshop, taking tasks from the aircraft factory, taking them back to their homes, manufacturing various parts, and then sending them to the factory for final assembly.
So when the United States bombed the island countries at the end of World War II, the effect was not good at first, and it was useless to bomb their factories, because the parts were all produced below, and they just needed to find a suitable place for final assembly.
The female worker sent the silk cloth away and looked at the picture hanging next to the sewing machine, where a young boy was smiling and wearing a military uniform, all looking large.
Damn war, when will it end!
"We've made a hundred balloons." On this day, on the beach in Tokyo, the sun was soft, and the sea breeze gently blew everyone's clothes, Hidetoshi Arakawa looked at the balloon spread on the beach, and said: "The order has been issued from above, Operation Flying Elephant has officially begun, and the first strike on the mainland of the United States will be carried out by us, and in the history of the island country, there will be two of us." ”
If the first batch is very successful, everyone in the country, even middle school students, can catch up with balloons and release tens of thousands of balloons to the United States.
The height adjustment device, the test went smoothly, and it was successful in almost a day, and then it was the first blow.
With his order, the workers started to move, next to each balloon, there was a steel cylinder, they docked the cylinder and the balloon, and soon, the deflated balloon began to bulge.
The entire sandy beach turned into a sea of balloons.
"Timer, set for 69 hours." Hidetoshi Arakawa continued to shout.
In addition to the altitude maintenance device he designed, there is also timing, if there is no limit, the balloon does not know how many times it will fly around the earth, and it must fly over the United States before it can be dropped and exploded, which requires timing.
Timing is also a simple mechanism, just adjust the knob on it.
As the balloon gradually became bulging and slowly flew upward, the hanging basket below was also propped up, and if it was not for the pull of the rope of the wooden stake on the beach, it would have flown away.
"Balloon No. 1 ready."
"Balloon No. 2 ready."
…
"Put!" Hidetoshi Arakawa shouted loudly.
With his voice, the operators below loosened the rope, and suddenly, one after another, the balloons rose upward, and they were clustered, and you fought for me.
Looking at these balloons, everyone's eyes were full of anticipation.
The balloon is slowly rising, rising, a kilometer, a kilometer...
As the balloon rises, the air pressure decreases, and a sandbag control bolt falls off under the action of air pressure, and the sandbag falls from the air, and at the same time, the balloon jumps upwards with a whizz.
As soon as the sandbag fell, the balloon continued to rise, and after half an hour, it had climbed to 10,000 meters.
"Bang!" A balloon suddenly exploded, and at this height, its belly was bulging, like a fat man who had eaten enough, and now it was bursting.
"Snort, snort." Another balloon, the valve below automatically opened, and with the sound, a stream of air came out of the balloon, and in the low temperature of the sky, the gas took on a white color.
There are constantly balloons bursting and falling, and some balloons, for various reasons, did not climb up, only more than 70 balloons, successfully stabilized at an altitude of about 10,000 meters, under the blowing of the air flow in the high altitude, began this round-the-world journey.
Suddenly, the stitches of a balloon opened, and a stream of air came out of the opening, and then the balloon quickly deflated and fell downward.
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, all sorts of things happen, and if the other balloons have thoughts, they will surely watch their companions fall with regretful eyes, and at the same time rejoice that they are still intact.
Time is slowly passing, 10,000 meters in the air, constantly experiencing the alternation of day and night, when the second alternation of day and night is over, it is a new day.
The timer was ticking and ticking, and suddenly, the timer went to its designated position, and then the mechanism inside was triggered.
"Bang." There was a soft sound again, and with the light sound, the switch of the balloon was completely opened, and all the hydrogen in it was being discharged outward, and with the leakage of hydrogen, the whole balloon bomb began to move rapidly downward.
Target, the United States, blow them up!
It took a long time to fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, but now it is quite short, only ten minutes, with a sharp roar, a balloon bomb, and it falls.
"Bang!" When the bomb came into contact with the sea, there was a loud collision sound, followed by a bang, and the water splashed more than ten meters high.
A few waves rolled over, and the whole sea was calm again.
This bomb, which simply fell on the surface of the sea, was still a few tens of kilometers away from the target, and its timer was triggered prematurely.
Some of the balloons began to deflate and fall, and some of the balloons continued, and when they set off, the balloons in the sky were now independent of each other as the air currents blow, and the distance between them was even as high as hundreds of kilometers.
"Snort." A balloon was slowly deflating, deflating and falling downward, and when it landed for a few kilometers, suddenly, a strong wind blew, and instantly blew the balloon again, and the bottom was stacked on top, turning into a parachute.
The balloon, which turned into a parachute, continued to sway and fall downward, with mountains below, the earth, and the woods.
"Whoa." The hanging basket smashed into the branch, and before the fuse could be triggered, the balloon on it was completely hung with the tree, and the hanging basket swayed as if it was swinging.
