Chapter 488: Hot Air Balloon Lifts Off
In the open space the size of a football field, dozens of young students were busy with the cheers of the two old guys, and the huge canvas sewn from asbestos cloth was placed flat on the open space. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The two old men were Xiao Shi's deputies, and at this moment they were angrily scolding a dozen young people who were tying ropes. A basket made of 1.5 meters of rattan was carried to the place where the canvas was placed, and the rope on it was tightly tied to the basket.
Tang Ming and Xiao Shu didn't care about them when they arrived, and the two old men only nodded to Xiao Shu slightly and said hello, and then went about their business. Xiao Shu didn't blame them, as long as everyone in the academy got to work, there was no difference between up and down, which had already become the consensus in the academy.
In short, as long as you have a little bit of something here, and you can use it well, you are the biggest, and you can drink others at will.
The basket had been secured, and someone brought the fierce fire oil stove built by Xiao Shu himself, because he didn't know how much firepower to use. So Xiao Shu could only build bigger, and do his best to build this largest fierce fire oil stove so far.
When he saw the four big men carrying the still laborious fierce oil stove, he couldn't help but show a look of pride on his face: "How is it?" I'm not bad on this stove, right? ”
Xiao Shu seemed to be inviting merit and showing off, but Tang Ming was not very interested in this, and there was nothing to show off about inviting such a big and heavy stove. I don't know if the stove is too heavy to fly?
Although he was not interested in Xiao Shi's stove in his heart, Tang Ming also knew that it was better not to comment on it before he tried it. Lest this guy be lucky again and the hot air balloon flies, then he will be embarrassed.
The stove is placed on a shelf above the basket and is quickly secured, and at this point, the entire balloon is installed. Xiao Shu personally stepped forward to check again, and only after finding that there was no problem did he announce the official start of the test flight.
This is Xiao Shu's first time making a hot air balloon, and he has no confidence in this test flight, and he doesn't know if he can fly later. Under the effect of worry, he did not dare to let others go to the test flight, but climbed into the basket himself, apparently preparing to carry out the test flight himself.
Just like that, he wanted to go into battle without any defense, Tang Ming didn't want to wait for an accident to happen, and let Xiao Shu pass away regretfully. For the sake of safety, he ordered someone to bring paper and pen to draw a parachute pattern, and said to Xiao Vulgar's hand: "Don't be in a hurry to test the flight first, go and make the things on the drawing first, and then talk about something else." ”
Every time Tang Ming draws something, it must have its use, so Xiao Shu didn't ask why, but directly taught the drawings to the two deputies, and then told them Tang Ming's words as they were.
Then he turned around and asked, "Sir, what is that thing for?" ”
Tang Ming climbed into the rattan basket, carefully observed the stove, and explained: "That thing is called a parachute, and if this thing can fly into the sky, if there is any accident on it, it will be reliable for this thing to escape." ”
Although Xiao Shu didn't understand that he was in mid-air, he could escape by relying on the parachute tied with cloth and rope, which he thought was incredible. But he was obviously immune to the strange things in Tang Ming's mind, and he no longer made a fuss easily.
Countless times of practice have proved that every time Tang Ming makes something, it is correct, and it can be the same as expected. He is accustomed to it and no longer asks questions, and in his opinion, no matter how many questions he asks, it is not as practical as direct practice.
The two parachutes were quickly ready and delivered, Tang Ming checked it a little, it was very rough but it was no problem to use it, so he will do it first. He couldn't wait to get the balloon flying.
As soon as he saw Tang Ming ordering the fire like this, Xiao Shu didn't do it, and immediately stopped him and said, "Sir, please go down and we can start trying." This thing has just been made and hasn't been tested in any way, and you can't do this first test anyway. ”
Knowing that Xiao Shi was thinking about his own safety, but Tang Ming knew that no one here knew more about hot air ballooning than himself, and in order for the hot air balloon to succeed as soon as possible, he had to test it himself.
"Don't persuade me, don't go down, let the two with more strength come up, and we'll start testing!" Tang Ming undoubtedly rejected Xiao Shi's kindness.
Xiao Shu looked at the two parachutes in the basket, hesitated for a while, agreed to Tang Ming's order, and called two powerful students to personally unscrew the valve of the fierce fire oil and prepare to ignite it under the gaze of everyone.
Two powerful men helped to prop up the air intake, Tang Ming personally stepped forward to light the fire, Xiao Shi's valve was opened very small, and the flame was less than a finger long. Under Tang Ming's urging, the oil valve was slowly opened, and in the whirring, the flames on the stove became bigger and bigger, and the canvas began to move.
Tang Ming stared at the canvas that was still shriveled on the ground, and shouted to Xiao Shi: "Increase the firepower again." ”
Xiao Shu twisted the valve twice, and the canvas began to move, gradually swelled, and finally floated in the air.
Tang Ming carefully watched the balloon for a moment, and after finding that there was no air leakage, he continued to order to increase the firepower. Seeing that the canvas balloon actually floated up, Xiao Shu was no longer cautious in his excitement, and accelerated the speed of opening the valve.
After a while, the whole basket began to levitate, but it kept shaking, as if it was going to rise into the air at any moment. Seeing this, Tang Ming immediately ordered the sandbags in the basket to be thrown out, and waited until the hot air balloon had risen to a height of two meters after throwing the sandbags.
This was the first test flight, and Tang Ming had to be careful, so after calling it off, he began to observe all aspects of the hot air balloon again. It wasn't until he was sure that there was no problem that Xiao Shu slowly increased his firepower.
As the flames at the mouth of the stove rose higher and higher, the hot air balloon flew higher and higher, and when it reached about two hundred meters, Tang Ming called a halt and let the balloon float in mid-air like this. Xiao Shu didn't expect things to go so smoothly, they actually stood in mid-air, and they relied on the hot air balloon they had just made.
Xiao Shu also understood at this moment, in fact, the principle of this hot air balloon is no different from that of Kong Ming lanterns, at best, it is much bigger than Kong Ming lanterns.
The cheers have already sounded in the clearing, and the first time that human beings can stay in mid-air appeared in front of everyone's eyes, their efforts for nearly a year have not been in vain, and finally ushered in the fruits of a bumper harvest.
The people on the entire Tianna Mountain soon discovered this strange guy floating in mid-air, and for a while, all the students began to rush to Tang Ming and them, all wanting to ask what that thing was, and it was incredible to them that something could actually bring people to the sky!
