Chapter 1274: Anecdotes of the Americas (2)
Hot air balloons are a very common thing when they are placed in the virtual world world and the world before Zhao Hongyu.
But if there are some conditions and skills, even ordinary people can do it.
Of course, size doesn't have to be.
And the average person doesn't have that much money to spare, isn't.
But a hot air balloon is a great thing to put in this time and space.
Human beings in this era, although they yearn for the sky.
But in this era, human beings have not yet mastered the technique of ascending into the air.
Even, people don't even dare to think about it.
However, in the Song Empire established by Zhao Hongyu in the Americas, this kind of thing has already been experimented.
"Actually, it's very troublesome for you to get this hot air balloon, and it's better to have such leisure than to get a simple plane. And the hot air balloon doesn't seem to be very useful. ”
After Professor Liu looked at the hot air balloon, he turned his head and said to his son-in-law, Song Hu.
Yes, for Song Hu to make a hot air balloon, in fact, Professor Liu felt a little inappropriate from the bottom of his heart.
Hot air balloons weren't very useful to them, and he couldn't think of a place where they could be used.
However, for the sake of Song Hu being his son-in-law, and Song Hu is very concerned about this matter, he has not objected to this matter since it began.
However, now that the hot air balloon has also been made, Professor Liu still can't help but complain about Song Hu.
In his opinion, this is a complete waste of money and time.
After hearing this, Song Hu smirked, as if he didn't take his father-in-law's complaints to heart.
"Father-in-law, you can't say that. In fact, after the hot air balloon is made, it is not useless. Regarding the complaint of his father-in-law, Professor Liu, Song Hu retorted slightly.
How can it be said that hot air balloons are useless.
I thought of doing this thing myself, and it wasn't a whim.
It's definitely useful to get it out.
"Oh. So tell me, where exactly do you want to use it? ”
Professor Liu rolled his eyes, then asked Song Hu rhetorically.
"Father-in-law, we can't get the plane at our current level. However, hot air balloons are still possible, and after the hot air balloon is made, it is very useful for military reconnaissance and geographical observation, isn't it? ”
Song Hu's words are not untargeted, if it is really according to what he said, then this hot air balloon is really very useful.
Hot air balloons are used for military reconnaissance and geographic observations, which is a really good option.
Think about it, if there were hot air balloons in the Imperial Army. Then when you encounter an enemy and fight, you can lift the hot air balloon into the air, and you can basically see the environment around the battle site.
If the enemy wants to leave a reserve or something, they will know in advance.
In this way, it is of great benefit to oneself.
Don't look at the Song Empire is very stable now, in fact, in the American continent, the Imperial Army will still fight with some Indian tribes who have not defected to the empire from time to time.
It's just that these Indian tribes can't pose much of a threat, so they haven't been taken seriously by the Empire.
But even if the Americas have no rivals, what if they are replaced by Europe?
At present, the empire is mainly focused on development, but when the empire has developed to a certain extent, it will definitely launch wars of aggression against other countries.
So. Hot air balloons can be used for many miles.
This is used for some of the considerations above the military.
In addition, if you use a hot air balloon, you can also make geographical observations.
Observing the geographical environment in the air is actually just as important as observing the geographical environment on the ground.
If you want to make a sand table. It will be much more convenient with the help of a hot air balloon.
Thinking of these uses and benefits, Professor Liu nodded, acknowledging these aspects that Song Hu had considered.
"Well, count what you say to my satisfaction. I didn't think about it that much. I can't believe that you kid thinks so carefully. ”
Professor Liu, who knew that he was wrong, in order to hide his embarrassment, he pretended to be serious and praised a few words.
on this. Zhao Hongyu still didn't say anything salty, 'hehe' and smirked.
"According to you, I think that if you continue to develop Ontario City in the future, you can also use hot air balloons. If I can look at the changes in the streets of Ontario City now, as well as some of the topography, which will also help the city to plan again in the future, I can make some more detailed considerations. ”
Professor Liu thought a lot, and he suddenly thought that if the hot air balloon was really successful, it would also be of great benefit to his own urban planning.
The reason is simple, the development and construction of Ontario has not stopped.
Construction sites are being started almost every day.
Therefore, this is a problem that Professor Liu, who is in charge of urban construction planning, has to seriously consider carefully.
Residential areas, parks, infrastructure areas, public offices, and even streets all need to be considered confidently in the planning before a detailed plan can be made.
At the same time, the geography and topography of the construction area should also be taken into account.
Therefore, if you take a hot air balloon into the air, then Professor Liu can have an intuitive understanding of what Ontario City looks like now.
This will be of great benefit to him in making plans for the future.
"You're right, father-in-law. Having a hot air balloon does have such benefits, so my father-in-law won't say I'm messing around anymore this time. ”
Song Hu smiled and said something that Professor Liu was a little embarrassed.
What Song Hu could think of, he didn't think of.
For a long time, he thought that Song Hu was an idle egg, and he would focus on it out of boredom.
Now he realized that Song Hu was not fooling around.
If this hot air balloon project is really made, it will be of great benefit to yourself and the empire.
And Song Hu is also right in one sentence, that is, with their current level of skills, they can only get a hot air balloon project, and as for the plane or something, it is simply unrealistic.
It is important to know that building an airplane, even if it is a very old-fashioned kind of aircraft, requires a lot of skill.
But hot air balloons are much simpler.
So. Song Hu is now making a hot air balloon, which is a very correct choice.
As for airplanes...... We'll have to wait until a few years later.
However, judging from the current speed of development of the empire, it is really not very difficult to think of such a thing as an airplane that is ahead of its time.
Who let the ruler of the Song Empire, Zhao Hongyu, who was far away in the east, have a cheating weapon against the sky.
At this moment, one of the guys who had been selected a long time ago flew into the rattan basket, and this guy's face was full of excitement and apprehension, and you could see fear and trepidation in his eyes.
Yes, no one knows if the hot air balloon will actually fly into the air and land safely.
Hot air balloons are also not without hazards and safety hazards.
Selected as experimenters. He is a dark-skinned Indian male.
The main reason why he was picked out was because the revenge as an experimenter was very rich.
300 Imperial Silver Coins, that's more than two years' salary for ordinary people.
The discarded flamethrower purchased from the Metaverse is still spewing flames.
Even the fuel is purchased from the Metaverse.
I have to say that Zhao Hongyu opened up the authority to Song Hu, which is really convenient.
Of course, Song Hu didn't think about buying a cheap plane directly.
It's a pity that Chen Zhenbang didn't care about this matter at all. Except for Chen Zhenbang, Zhao Hongyu and the others could not contact other people in the virtual world.
Therefore, Song Hu can only make hot air balloons for now.
Because of Chen Zhenbang's relationship, Zhao Hongyu and Song Hu, as well as Wang Shan and Zhang Tie, complained in their hearts more than once.
If you can contact the Rice Empire of the Virtual World Realm. They don't have to go through that kind of trouble.
You must know that the Mi Empire of the Virtual World Realm is the same as Zhao Hongyu who did not come to this era before. As long as you have money, you are an uncle, and you can buy whatever you want.
Compared to the Huaxia of the virtual world where Chen Zhenbang is located. It was a paradise.
Because Chen Zhenbang is a Chinese, there are many things that Zhao Hongyu can't buy even if he has money.
Even what can be bought is Chen Zhenbang's black tattered goods.
It's not something that's about to be scrapped. It was obtained from the scrap recycling station and sold to Zhao Hongyu at a high price. Even the price of these things is more expensive than brand new.
It's not really a cheat.
However, if there was no Chen Zhenbang, Zhao Hongyu would not be able to buy goods from the virtual world.
It is precisely because of this helpless reason that Zhao Hongyu and they can only accept Chen Zhenbang's exploitation.
It's strange to say that Zhao Hongyu's cheat stipulates that he can only trade with Chen Zhenbang.
It's impossible to change people at all!
If it is a replacement, then it will have to wait for Chen Zhenbang to die of natural causes.
For this point, Zhao Hongyu is already powerless.
Chen Zhenbang didn't say anything about this guy, and he didn't bother to find a lot of things to sell to Zhao Hongyu and them.
This is also the reason why Song Hu gritted his teeth and had to make an industrial foundation by himself.
Of course, at present, the factory in Ontario and all the machinery and equipment are still sold by Chen Zhenbang.
Now the Song Empire doesn't have the ability to do it yourself.
But if you look at the machinery, it's either old or about to be scrapped. Professor Liu estimated that the things he bought back would be blessed by God if they didn't rot for two years.
But in this regard, Song Hu and Zhao Hongyu have no way to be wrong.
"Remember! Don't panic, follow those steps given to you beforehand, and you'll be safe. Now you untie the sandbags and continue to light the fire. ”
At this time, Song Hu had already turned his gaze from his father-in-law to the experimenter.
Song Hu was making a hot air balloon in Ontario City, while Zhang Tie of Manhattan City on the East Coast rushed to the Manhattan train station with a ticket of Chinese-American civil servants and guards to receive a shipment of goods from Ontario City...... (To be continued......)
