After eating, several people came to the balloon factory of ‘Jupeng Bird Balloon’ in Knop. Not to mention, although their sales store is not large, this factory is quite large. With a plant of more than 10,000 square meters, there are more than 200 hot air balloon manufacturing employees. It can be said that'Jupeng Bird Balloon' is the largest balloon system here. Do the factory.
On the open field, all kinds of steel and wood can be seen everywhere, and there are three or two hot air balloons that have been formed on the ground of the factory, and it seems to be waiting for various tests.
Several workers who had just finished eating were sitting idly on the materials smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee, chatting from time to time, and some even played cards.
Huffman smiled awkwardly: "It's still lunch break, they will be so leisurely. They work hard when they are working. I promise that they will be completed on time and will not let your 170,000 coins go to waste."
"170,000? Isn't it 140,000?" Hurrington asked.
"Oh, because Mr. Bing Zhixie asked to increase the speed to the maximum, we have to give up some relatively cheap but heavy steel, and switch to a lighter and more durable alloy material, and the price will naturally increase."
"Another 30,000." Hurrington grieved, but thought that there was a big money around him that could make millions anytime, anywhere, so he had to endure the pain.
Alice asked, "Where is our airship?"
"We are still doing all the parts well, but our workers have been doing this for many years and are very skilled. In addition, all our parts have ready-made molds, and now the keel and most of the components have been completed. These days We are a three-shift shift rush, stop people without stopping work, should be assembled tonight, at the latest tomorrow, at least one and a half days to assemble and then test, the test can be delivered to you without problems." Hoffman said: "Come with me, I will take you to see your airship."
Hurrington asked while walking: "What if there is a problem with the test?"
"We are still dealing with these problems for more than a day, and we will be able to deliver them to you within seven days," Hoffman assured confidently.
Following Huffman came to the huge factory building and assembly, various molds, forming tools, seemingly chaotic but orderly placed on the ground. At this time, there was only one young man sorting and measuring those appliances in the whole workshop.
Hoffman shouted: "Cester, come here, let me introduce you."
Kester didn't move. After finishing his work, he walked over and looked at Bing Zhixie.
Hoffman smiled: "I'm sorry, Mr. Bing Zhixie, let me introduce you, he is your chief designer and chief engineer of the airship."
"Ah, isn't he, he?" Alice and Hurrington cried at the same time.
Huffman affirmed: "Yes."
Alice said: "I thought he was an apprentice here."
"Hello, uncle, don't you tease us?" Hurrington said: "Did you see that we are not old, so we feel that we are bullying! Give our airship to a child to practice skills? , Do you think we are here to shave our hair?"
"No no no, you misunderstood, he is really a very good engineer." Hoffman explained busy: "You have not read newspapers, magazines, haven't heard of it? He has already taken two World Flying The first prize of the airboat design competition."
"Really?" Hurrington and Alice looked at the young man, a few years younger than Bingzhixie, doubtfully.
"Of course it is true." Hoffman said proudly: "Because he is my son."
"Ah, he is your son!"
Hoffman said to his son: "Kester, these are the buyers of the airship, Miss Alice, Mr. Bing Zhixie and Mr. Hurlington."
"Hello, my name is Charlie Kester, and I'm very happy to see you." Kester applied for his dirty and greasy hands and shrank back again.
"Nice to meet you." Alice took him by the hand and said, "So, please tell us about this flying boat."
Kester was caught by Alice's soft hand, and his heart jumped up and down: "Uh...oh, yes." He quickly retracted his hand, his cheeks red.
Hoffman said: "Then you are here to visit, I have one more thing, come back later. Kester, well greet customers."
"Yes." Kester said: "Come with me, I will show you the keel of your airship."
Bingzhixie followed Kester to the open space in the factory building, and a large metal skeleton stood in front of everyone.
"Wow, this is the keel of the airship!" Alice exclaimed.
The new shiny keel, these metal frames are all recently melted out, and you can still see the anti-rust oil on it.
Alice asked again: "What is the keel, what is it for?"
Everyone suffocated.
Kester explained: "The keel is like the main frame supporting a house, the main load-bearing part of a boat. If the keel is broken, the boat will fall apart and the house will collapse. The airship is like A ship flying in the air, if it does not want to fall apart in the air, it must rely on it to support the connection."
"Oh, I see." Alice nodded inexplicably.
Hurrington asked: "Why is this keel so small, it seems to be just the part of the pod, the skeleton of the balloon part?"
Kester said: "Have you not read the pictures of this airship?"
"No."
Kester said: "Then I will tell you about it. Airships are generally divided into three types: rigid airships, semi-rigid airships and soft airships. The first two are more or less There are few metal dragon skeletons to support the shape of the balloon, the grade is relatively low, and the shark-type airship of our chamber of commerce is a high-end soft airship. The balloon part does not need a skeleton to support, so it can be Greatly reduce the weight of the airship itself, can increase the load and speed of the airship. So in the atlas that Mr. Bing Zhixie looks at, this shark-type airship is the fastest because of the four models Only this one is a soft airship."
"It turned out to be this way." Hurrington smiled: "It is an expert."
There are still some factories that can make hot air balloons in the world, but few can build airships, and only this factory can build them in this city.
Kester said: "In order to increase the speed as much as possible according to Mr. Bing Zhixie's requirements, this pod will be made into a closed type, so there may be discrepancies with the pictures you see. After the pod is completed, The length is 5.9 meters and the inner cabin is 4.6 meters long; the outer width is 3.7 meters and the inner width is 3.2 meters; the height is 2.2 meters and the inner height is 1.7 meters. Five people can be boarded except the driver."
"Oh right driver." Alice said: "Master, Hurrington, will you drive it?"
Bingzhixie shook his head.
Hurrington also signaled no.
Kester said: "There is no way to fly an airship. It is easy to learn, just like a boat, but there is only one more elevator. I can let someone teach you."
"That's good, I want to learn." Alice volunteered to be a driver.
Kester said: "Follow me again, I will take you to see the airbag of the airship."
