Chapter 078: This Is My Small Step
Chapter 078 This is a small step for me
At this moment, the people of Magic Valley Town are not cheering for the revolutionary army, or Ace, or hot air balloons, or something in the sky.
They are just cheering for themselves in their purest form.
It's like Armstrong said when he landed on the moon: It's a small step for me, but it's a big leap for all mankind.
People are not cheering for the United States, but for themselves, for this race, and for humanity as a whole.
It's like the first car start, the first airplane sliding, the first rocket takeoff.
Every step in this is a solid step for humanity.
This is just a technology that is visible to the naked eye, invisible to the naked eye but closely related to everyone's life, chemical fiber, materials and medicine, all kinds of solid steps are improving people's quality of life and the level of the world.
Now this hot air balloon is just a small step for Leo.
The whole scene instantly became popular, and when he was more than ten meters above the ground, people no longer had any doubts that he could fly.
Everyone cheered loudly and unbridledly.
After hovering to ten meters, the rope has reached its limit, and Ace no longer blooms into the hot air balloon with flames.
The hot air balloon just floated and hovered in the sky, swaying slightly with the sea breeze.
Ace jumped straight out of the hot air balloon with a big smile on his face, and greeted Leo with a smile, "Ah, I want Ishka to see what we're doing." ”
What they are doing is right, righteous, and great.
But that's just a rough outline and a rough idea.
If it weren't for the Draconians, if it wasn't for the World Government, if it weren't for the fact that the kingdoms and nobles in various places were too exploitative, and the mass base was too deep, how could Leo win over so many pirates and navies with just a few words.
But before that it was so empty.
Until now.
Until this hot air balloon is made.
They really realized that Leo was indeed changing the world.
In fact, Leo has already said this in class, that is, the change of productivity must be caused by invention and creation.
Some inventions are subtrative: helping people spend less time to be efficient.
Some inventions are additional: the discovery of new substances, elements, materials that improve people's lives qualitatively.
And now this hot air balloon is addition, and the change and improvement of people by the new means of transportation is undoubtedly a qualitative change, even if he is still very immature.
On the contrary, it is like Tom the fishman in the capital of seven waters, and it is sensational that the sea train technology is very mature as soon as he makes a move.
What technical conditions are required for sea train technology? First of all, you need to have the technology to lay undulating rails on the sea, secondly, you need to solve the problem of corrosion of the material by the seawater, after that, you need to prevent barnacles from sticking to the rails, secondly, you need to solve the problem of fuel for the train, and finally you need to solve the problem of predation of the train by the sea kings.
As a result, he really came up with a complete set of plans, and the judge didn't even read it, and he really believed it, and the ordinary people had great hopes for it......
Didn't anyone think about what would happen if it was a hoax?
A large amount of investment will be wasted because of a criminal's false words in the court, and the capital of seven waters will fall into an even more difficult dilemma.
Anyway, Leo has nothing to say about Tom the Fishman, except for a.
It's awesome!
It's a pity that under the system of the world government, once the awesome person threatens the rule of the Celestial Dragons, it is still a dead end.
It's like the popes of the Middle Ages burned the inventors.
The Draco regime is the cancer of the world, the kind of cancer plus terminal illness and complications.
The first hot air balloon was still propped up with steel bones, and although it could fly, it was obviously not able to carry much weight.
The second one is supported by wooden strips, and the weight is much lighter than the steel-bone balloon just now, and this time Ace easily "blows" the whole balloon.
This time there was a lot less excitement among the people, and they didn't quite understand why Leo was making three takes.
Isn't it enough for them to go up after the first balloon goes up?
The populace muttered, whispering BB below, but the pirate captives who were also in the crowd knew why.
They couldn't see the people slandering Leo so much, and they explained to the people with a show-off mentality: "You know, this is to test how long these balloons can stay in the air after they are raised at once, so that they can accurately calculate how far these balloons can fly." ”
Hot air balloons have no power and can only rely on the power of the wind, so you only need to calculate the speed of the wind to calculate how far the balloon can fly after a charge.
Perhaps this distance is where something like a hot air balloon can be turned into a useful means of transportation in the midst of a great and dangerous route.
The weight of the steel-bone balloon, the wood-bone balloon and the cloth balloon is different, and the load is of course different, but the resistance to extreme weather in the great route is also different......
In short, these things have to be experimented one by one, which is the attitude of scientific rigor and prudence.
Since Leo doesn't have the fate of the protagonist group, he must be more cautious when facing these things.
Fortunately, he is a brain-using person, and he does not need to do specific experiments or record experimental data.
It was Ace who did it, and it was Nicole Robin who recorded it, and he was right next to him to direct.
Soon all three balloons began to float.
The next thing to test is how long the gas will cool, how much the balloon will load, and how high it can rise.
One last thing needed Lafayette's help.
But Lafayette, who was on the lookers the whole time, was more than happy to help.
He, Van Okka, and Nico Robin have been watching from the sidelines as the organization co-opts more than 400 pirates with different minds.
It's like a must-have in online novels: the golden three-chapter principle; When this hot air balloon came out on the fifth day.
It seemed that the hearts of all the pirates had calmed down at once, and it could be seen that they were only arguing, distinguishing, and explaining with the inhabitants, showing off instead of beating, scolding, insulting, and bullying.
These pirates are completely different from themselves five days ago.
The physical transformation is simply not worth mentioning, and the terrible thing is that with this set of combination punches, they have now taken on a new look.
They have developed cohesion, centripetal force, unity and discipline in this team!
PS: It's barely the second shift.
