Section 111 Air Express
Elena felt the smell of the heights, as he did feel getting colder. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At the end, when it was cold, the window was closed, the window was a double-layer design, the outermost was a gate-type glass window, which was automatically locked by pulling down from above, and the inside was a sliding window, which was a very common design.
The outside gate and window glass are very thick, Elena measured it with her hands, it looks like three inches, and it is still very difficult for her to push and pull this kind of window. The window inside is a simple stained glass with peonies depicted on it.
Between the two floors of windows is a one-foot-wide window sill, the existence of which makes it easy for Elena to set up her camera.
Elena never put pen to paper, because this airship felt so new to her, and there were so many things to describe that it was difficult to write.
So he has been watching the scenery by the window, and the fantasy of swimming in the sky in the past has nothing to do with what he saw and heard at this time, because in the real sky, it is too dull and boring, and there is nothing to see even on the ground, because they are flying above the sea, and the ground is like boundless blue glass.
"Wow!"
Yelena suddenly exclaimed, he finally saw what he wanted to see, clouds, an endless sea of clouds.
The sea of clouds is overhead, so delicate, so soft, how to describe it? It's like cotton piled up together, but it's brighter than cotton, like silk.
The airship was getting closer to the clouds, and Elena was looking forward to the feeling of the airship wandering among the clouds, and she kept her eyes open while taking pictures from time to time.
The clouds looked close in front of her, but the airship flew and flew, but it couldn't get close, how did she know, looking at this close, there were actually hundreds of meters.
But when the airship really approached the clouds, Elena was extremely disappointed, because what he saw was not a soft cotton-like cloud, and when he got closer, the clouds looked like floating mist, and when the airship finally passed through the clouds, Elena confirmed that it was water mist.
Science has long been the case, clouds are made of water vapor, but in the eyes of a liberal arts girl like Elena, it's all a lie.
The airship could see the vapor grazing the glass through the clouds and slowly condensing into droplets, which slid down the windows, and though the nasty science tore through the veil of art, Elena recorded it all.
Suddenly, a dazzling light pierced the glass, and Elena's eyes couldn't help but close, but then she stretched comfortably, because the sunlight shining through the window illuminated her one-piece dress very brightly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the sun was on the clouds, and below her feet were endless clouds.
The sun and the white clouds, Yelena suddenly had an inspiration, took out a pen and paper, and lay on the windowsill to write.
At this time, Irina was not the only one who had inspiration, and many international students were amazed.
Flying on the clouds is just a fantasy for foreigners, but it is full of mystery for Chinese.
Because in China, those who can fly on the clouds are immortals.
"It's cloudy, haha!"
In the middle cafeteria, more than 50 international students lie in front of the windows, and there are no windows in the third-class cabins they make.
The workers who also lived in the third-class cabin were dismissive of these international students, feeling like a group of dirt buns who had never seen the world, and they had long forgotten that when they first stepped on the clouds, some of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed in fright, and others said that they saw immortals, which were hallucinating.
Yang Chao was busy in the cockpit alone, looking at his watch, which showed that he had flown to an altitude of more than 7,000 meters, and shouted outside: "Keep throwing sandbags!" ”
After Yang Chao finished shouting, several workers in the living room immediately took action, they acted in groups, a group of five, and took turns to work.
They quickly climbed down the stairs on the side of the living room, the airship was not a single storey, there was another floor underneath, designed as a cargo hold.
The warehouse is much more rudimentary, and there is no piled up of goods in it, only a few dozen oil drums.
There is a small door on the side wall, and two people, one on the left and one on the right, each open a small door one foot square, and the cold air outside suddenly flies in, which is unbearable.
They had just changed into cotton clothes, and put a layer of fox skin sleeves on their hands, and their hands with cotton gloves stretched out of the window, and cut the rope swinging outside the window, and finally cut the rope, and two large sandbags fell on both sides of the airship, one left and one right, and the airship continued to rise into the air.
Two men quickly withdrew their arms, and the other two came up and closed the thick little door and locked it inside.
In this way, even if they have completed a mission, they have already trained more than once, and they are very familiar with it, even if they fly into the sky to operate it for real time, it is not the first time, so they can despise some of those international students.
Throwing sandbags twice, Yang Chao looked at the numbers on his watch:
"Eight thousand nine hundred and fifty, seventy, eighty, nine thousand meters!"
When the number jumped to nine thousand meters, Yang Chao couldn't help laughing, but it was still rising, and it was about three hundred meters, and then it finally stabilized.
9,300 meters is 9,300 meters, and in this position, it happens to be a westerly wind belt that runs from west to east, directly through the entire Pacific Ocean, and this air flow can always blow from Japan to the United States all year round.
During World War II, the Japanese designed a balloon bomb, that is, the bomb was tied to the balloon, and the hot air balloon flew to an altitude of 9,000 to 10,000 meters, and then the balloon could automatically fly to the United States.
At that time, it really caused panic among the Americans, Yang Chao didn't know if he could cause panic among the Americans this time, but he planned to do so, otherwise why would he do everything possible to fly up to an altitude of 9,000 meters, which was not pleasant, and he would have to risk the engine icing.
Well, the shit complex of engine icing did not appear, because even if the shaft driven by the gasoline engine rotates, it will also produce heat, unless it encounters a cold snap, it will generally not freeze, and those who have been on the plane in later generations have seen the icing phenomenon a few times, and the planes of later generations are not flying above 10,000 meters?
Elena stretched comfortably, and immediately got up, opened the curtains, and it was already dawn.
She hated herself a little for not being angry, she was going to insist on not sleeping all night yesterday, it was rare to be at an altitude of 10,000 meters, she wanted to have a different night, but she couldn't hold it and didn't know how to sleep.
Then she staggered and woke up, she was woken up, and she was still a little unsteady on her feet, because the airship was shaking.
Elena was distressed to see the camera crooked to the side, and quickly checked it by holding on to the window edge, and found that the camera was not damaged, so she was relieved.
But when she suddenly looked up, she was surprised to find that she saw land!
Elena ran out of the room like crazy, staggered through the corridor, and knocked on Yang Chao's door in the cab.
Yang Chao has been operating for a long time.
"Yang, are we in the United States?"
Yang Chao took his pipe in his mouth, turned sideways slightly, and bowed slightly: "That's right, dear Miss Elena, welcome to the United States!" ”
Elena was incredulous: "But didn't you say it would take four days?" ”
Yang Chao apologized: "I'm very sorry, there was an error in the previous calculation, I didn't expect that at an altitude of about 10,000 meters, there would be an air current blowing towards the United States." And the air kept blowing, and we flew in the tailwind all night. So it's a lot faster. ”
Yelena nodded.
Then he asked, "Are we landing now?" ”
Yang Chao nodded and said, "Of course, our destination is San Francisco!" ”
Then Yang Chao pretended to look at the following table: "About another hour, we will be there." ”
Yelena also said with regret: "Is it coming?" ”
Her first high-altitude trip felt very boring, and she hadn't had time to do many things she had thought about before, but suddenly she was about to arrive in the United States.
Yang Chao smiled: "Beautiful young lady, the journey has just begun. ”
Only then did Elena think that they were going to travel around the world, and she couldn't help but look forward to it.
Yang Chao pointed to her hair at this time, and his hand ran down her body: "Aren't you going to freshen up?" ”
Irina had this trick, her hair was messy, and the clothes on her body were full of wrinkles because of her sleeping position, and she couldn't help blushing: "I'm sorry." ”
Hurriedly ran back to his cabin.
The airship keeps landing, and the exhaust valve outside is bubbling from time to time, coming out of helium and inhaling air, so the weight of the airship is constantly increasing.
As the weight increases, it naturally descends, and it naturally approaches the ground.
You can already see the crowd gathering on the ground.
This is the preset landing location just outside of San Francisco.
Yang Chao's first stop around the world was the United States, the news has long spread all over the world, no matter who it is, it is a big news to travel around the world in this year, whether you are driving a boat, or flying an airplane, or flying an airship, of course, swimming will also become news, and it is the most sensational.
Yang Chao's first stop was in the United States, of course, the Americans have known about it for a long time, but ordinary people know it through newspapers, and the National Guard on the ground is not, they are arranged by the government, and I don't know why they are here so early.
Yang Chao wanted to go to the United States, of course, he told the American consul, and the American consul welcomed it, as for the Chinese living in the United States due to the Chinese Exclusion Act in this era, they needed to undergo humiliating examinations on Angel Island, and both sides were selectively forgetful.
Even if Brother Pao wants to go to the United States, he needs to join the Hong Gang, and he can only set foot on the shores of the United States by relying on the power of the Hong Gang, and I have to say that Yang Chao's current status is indeed much higher than that of Brother Pao.
But this is not to say that Yang Chao has no problem with the Chinese Exclusion Act, and he plans to call on Chinese Americans to return to China this time to resist it.
In the cheers of the crowd, and even some people ran with the airship, the airship slowly slowed down, landed, and finally stopped on a sandy ground.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the United States National Guard ran up with loaded guns and ammunition, isolating the crazy crowd from the airship, and then the hatch slowly opened, and Yang Chao took Yelena's hand and walked down the ladder with a smile.
