Chapter 293: Hot Air Balloon
The sky was gray and it was raining lightly.
The sailboat sails into the harbor of Tomorrow City, and the orcs of the outer towns step onto the solid concrete floor.
The butler of the salted fish merchant lowered his head and helped him hold up a small umbrella to block the misty light rain.
The Salted Fish Merchant, or the new resident of Tomorrow City, was in high spirits as he carried the letter of temporary identity of Tomorrow City in his pocket.
Stepping on the concrete road to Tomorrow City, he saw that the dirt on both sides of the road was wet, but the cement road was still as clean and tidy as new, without mud.
"Hey, you don't have to worry about stepping on dirty shoes in Tomorrow City in the future." Olife was satisfied with his current life, which was the high life that a nobleman wanted
It's a pity that after entering the city, he will be stripped of his status as a nobleman.
All the slaves in his hands will be sent to the slave reform camp in Tomorrow City, and they will be reformed by Tomorrow City, and the slaves will have the opportunity to be promoted to free people in the future, and it has nothing to do with him.
In other words, the subordinates he hired in the future were all free people, and they were required to pay monthly wages according to the value of their labor, and if there was any arrears of wages, there was a risk of being sued.
There is a newly built court in Tomorrow City, which is used to deal with legal disputes, and everyone is equal before the law, regardless of his previous status.
After entering the city, the staff of the human resources department met with Olife and explained some small details.
"You've just joined Tomorrow City, so it's best to familiarize yourself with the laws of Tomorrow City before you do business. If you break the law, we will not spare anyone. ”
The staff of the human resources department took out a copy of the law book and charged a silver coin for the book.
Of course, Olife did not violate the rules set by others, but he was a little weak when he saw that the thickness of the legal book was the thickness of two thumbs.
"It's so thick!"
He knew that the law was a book similar to the rules, but no matter how many rules there were, they couldn't be so thick, how could Allen have so many rules in his head.
He spread out the code of tomorrow, and the list of laws was lined up to a hundred miles away, and each article had detailed clauses covering all aspects of life.
He casually flipped the page and saw the articles on the crime of homicide, in which the crime of homicide was subdivided into murder, murder in excessive defense, buying murder, and instigating and aiding suicide.
"It's amazing, the crime of homicide is so fine, so is there a law related to business?"
Olivee searched around the directory and found an unfair competition law in the sub-entry, possibly related to commerce.
Turning to the unfair competition law, he glanced at the beginning roughly, and his eyes lit up.
"Sure enough, it's a law related to business, I'll take a look, hiss, it's so detailed......" Oliver gasped, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he felt.
In the Unfair Competition Law, the black methods that cannot see the light are recorded in it, and most of them are the methods he has used.
There are also some black methods that he has never thought of, and after looking at a few, he was shocked and sighed:
"I didn't think of that before! Alas, it's too late to say anything, I can't make a profit with black means. ”
……
January 1st, the new year.
On this day, except for the military units, the rest of the people have a day off to celebrate the arrival of the new year.
Alan woke up to the maid's call, got up to wash, and had breakfast, wearing a straight long-sleeved shirt and a long black double-breasted coat, elegant and gentlemanly.
"Master Allen, can we also watch the hot air balloon fly today?" The maid helped Alan tie the buttons, the beast's ears on her head moved slightly, and there was an expectant expression on her little face.
Flying into the blue sky is something that the orcs can't believe, and even the maids of the Allen family want to take a look.
"Of course you can." Alan smiled gently, causing the six maids to be in a trance.
On the way to Pigeon Square, there were already many orcs walking on the road, and when they saw Eren appear, they all screamed loudly and cheered.
A crowd of children rushed over and gathered around Allen, opening their hands for a hug.
"Brother Allen!"
"Hug!"
The children's childish voices and smiling faces melted Allen, making it difficult for him to refuse.
But he didn't have so many hands, only two arms, squatted down and scooped up the two children casually, and went to Pigeon Square.
The two children sat on Alan's shoulders left and right, giggling.
The cute lion-eared little Zhengtai didn't dare to speak, and the bold cat-eared Lori cautiously tapped Alan in the face.
"Ena, don't move."
Alan touched Ena's cat ear, and Ena laughed frolickingly, and waved to her sister in the crowd by the way, making a grimace.
Sister Effie was also in the haystack just now, but she was taller than her peers, and she was exploited by the short children and got into Alan's feet, so she didn't have a chance to be scooped up by Alan's shoulder.
After a while, Alan came to Pigeon Square with a group of children, and the square was already full of people, and it was crowded with people at a glance.
There was an army presiding over the order, even if there were many people, there was no chaos, and the orcs stood in a certain area to watch, vacating five three-meter-wide passages.
The orcs all stretched out their heads to look at the hot air balloon in the center of the square, which had not yet been filled with gas, and lay dry on the ground of the square, connected by four wire ropes to the wooden crate.
The pigeons flew to the eaves of the buildings around the square, and circled around them, their heads twisting, cooing, and winking curiously.
When the military saw Eren coming, the thrust on their backs increased, and when they looked back, they were full of fanatical and excited orcs, who wanted to shake hands with Alan.
"Please don't move, Lord Allen has something to say."
The orcs shouted wildly for a while, shouting long live Lord Allen, and it was a minute before the soldiers silenced their voices.
Alan waited until the voice stopped, and said loudly:
"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day of hot air balloon takeoff, I think today is a memorable day, from today on, the sky is no longer the domain of birds, we can also fly into the blue sky, overlooking the mountains and rivers!"
After listening to Allen's declaration, the orcs screamed loudly again, and the sound of worship drowned out Allen's voice.
In the era when there were no loudspeakers, it was a big problem to get everyone to hear his voice, and Alan smashed his mouth and no longer stirred up the atmosphere.
"Forget it, let's start directly, everyone who should come is here, inflate."
"Yes!"
The orcs of the chemical laboratory walked back and forth, standing on a makeshift wooden ladder and propping the mouth of the balloon open.
Open the high-pressure oxygen cylinder, ignite the oxygen, and the red and yellow columnar flames gush, and a large amount of gas enters the hot air balloon.
The hot air balloon gradually expands and grows larger, and the sphere gradually floats into the air.
The orc adjusts the burning direction of the burner and squares the burning flameman.
After another minute, the wooden box under the balloon floated slightly, and was held by four hemp ropes, and did not take off.
Wait another half a minute, the hemp rope is tight, and the hot air balloon is ready to fly.
The orcs in Pigeon Square exclaimed, covering their mouths, their faces full of surprise.
Hot gas, really flying!
No one has yet sat on it, and all eyes are on Allen, waiting for him to preside over the first round of test flights.
