Chapter 337: Shortcomings

Hot air balloons are still floating over Qingzhou. Eight? One? Chinese? Network ≤≈=≥=≈≤≈=
Lin Wentao and others were chasing after them, when they were panting for breath, suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes.
"Come up." Xiao Ming rode up to Lin Wentao.
Lin Wentao was stunned, suddenly at a loss.
"What are you doing? If the hot air balloon disappears, I won't make another one for you." Xiao Ming glared at him and said.
Lin Wentao immediately got anxious when he heard the words, and immediately climbed onto Zhao Long's horse.
Looking at the hot air balloon, Xiao Ming led Lin Wentao and chased them out, followed by Zhao Long and Zhao Hu.
The hot air balloon flew westward, and the rope under the hot air balloon dropped down. Xiao Ming felt fortunate that at least this time Lin Wentao made the rope longer.
Maybe this guy flew the hot air balloon like a kite.
Following the hot air balloon, everyone quickly chased out of the city, and the hot air balloon flew lower and lower outside Qingzhou.
Immediately Lin Wentao and Xiao Ming said that there was only a small amount of tung oil on the hot air balloon. They just heated it underneath, and they flew away without thinking about the hot air balloon.
Seeing the hot air balloon flying lower and lower, Xiao Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If tung oil is added to this, I don't know where the hot air balloon will fly.
Moreover, this hot air balloon falling from the sky can easily hurt people. Now that the land outside the city has landed, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
"His Royal Highness, caught it."
The hot air balloon could no longer fly, so Lin Wentao jumped off his horse and ran over to the hot air balloon.
Xiao Ming nodded, "Now you know how hot air balloons fly."
Lin Wentao nodded solemnly, "This hot air balloon flies according to the direction of the wind. If we take a hot air balloon, we can only follow the direction of the wind."
"Well, it’s good to understand this. Although you have created a hot air balloon, it is still the most basic hot air balloon. The real practical hot air balloon needs to continue to explore. I hope that one day you can put the hot air balloon into it. Into actual use."
What Xiao Ming said was basically an approval of Lin Wentao, and now the hot air balloon is only the first step.
He continued: "Now that hot air balloons can fly is only the most basic, the next question you want to study is how to let people ride in a hot air balloon and find different wind directions in the sky to control the hot air balloon flight."
The direction of the wind is different at different heights in the air. Hot air balloons can only fly according to the direction of the wind, and the degree and wind are the same. This knowledge is contained in the textbook written by Xiao Ming.
Lin Wentao nodded. He also knew that he had only achieved the first step. He said: "His Royal Highness, after a while, I will take a hot air balloon to the sky and circle Qingzhou City."
"Hahaha, this king is looking forward to such a day, so this hot air balloon is a scene in Qingzhou." Xiao Ming laughed.
For Xiao Ming, he very much hopes that the hot air balloon can serve as a bomber, but unfortunately it is not possible with the current level of hot air balloons.
The current hot air balloons are not hydrogen balloons, their flying height is not high, and their flexibility is too poor.
Because it is driven by the wind, it is impossible for a hot air balloon to hover in a certain place and can only follow the wind hard.
If you really throw something down, unless there is a suitable wind direction to blow the hot air balloon into the enemy's camp.
Secondly, you have to throw it accurately. After all, once the place is over, the hot air balloon may need a long distance to find the right wind direction back, not to mention that there are not many people in a hot air balloon.
Therefore, compared to the extremely inefficient sneak attack on the enemy, Xiao Ming still focused on high-altitude reconnaissance, tourism in Qingzhou City, and another one is advertising.
Imagine how many people would attract the attention of a large advertisement on a hot air balloon.
Xiao Ming can already think of businessmen competing to put advertisements on hot air balloons.
The last function of the hot air balloon is to deliver news and rescue key people when the city is under siege. Of course, he doesn't want to use this method one day.
In any case, he appreciated Lin Wentao's courage to try hot air balloons.
Just wait for the flight to take some time.
Let Zhao Long and Zhao Hu cooperate with Lin Wentao to put away the hot air balloon. Not long after, the students from the School of Physics also arrived.
After saluting Xiao Ming, they stepped forward to help Lin Wentao put away the hot air balloon.
Xiao Ming looked at the busy students with satisfaction. He finally saw a slight change in them.
And this change will only become more and more obvious.
When the students here were busy, the city of Qingzhou had already been blown up, and the people who came and went, and the merchants who came in and out were all coming to the city gate.
There were more and more people around the hot air balloon, and soon the area where the hot air balloon landed was surrounded.
Each face was full of curiosity.
Looking at the crowds onlookers, Xiao Ming's heart moved. Perhaps he could use this hot air balloon time to popularize scientific knowledge among the people, and this would also enlighten the people's wisdom.
In the crowd, Xiao Ming also saw Cao Zhengyang. He was looking at the busy students with a look of astonishment, and his mouth couldn't close.
Since ancient times, people have been in awe of the sky. Flying is an unattainable dream. It is conceivable that a hot air balloon drifting from space will shock them.
For foreign merchants, the hot air balloon made them feel that Qingzhou was more mysterious, and King Qi was more unpredictable. From their hearts, they gradually became full of awe in Qingzhou.
King Qi could even fly to the sky, but what else could not be done.
While the local merchants were surprised, they looked at the foreign merchants' faces full of pride, as if to say, look, this is our Qingzhou, and whoever dares to say our Qingzhou is shabby.
Seeing more and more people surrounding him, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly rushed over. They sent some people to surround Xiao Ming~EbookFREE.me~ and the other was to disperse the people.
The situation in Qingzhou is now complicated, and Xiao Ming's safety is the most sensitive string in everyone's heart.
Waiting for Lin Wentao to arrange the hot air balloon and let the carriage pull back, Xiao Ming returned to the city.
Speaking of it, it was the first time he saw a hot air balloon. Although he was very clear about the structure of a hot air balloon, it was the first time I saw it in kind, so he was full of curiosity.
On the way back, Xiao Ming and Lin Wentao kept chatting.
Lin Wentao initially talked about the next step to realize hot air balloon rides, while Xiao Ming talked about letting hot air balloons conduct high-altitude reconnaissance, and also talked about the role of other hot air balloons.
Especially when he said that he could use hot air balloons to make money, Lin Wentao became more excited, because he felt that the hot air balloons he made were at least not something to be seen, and the money was not in vain.
And Xiao Ming also promised him that if the hot air balloon can bring income, he will invest the money in Bowen Academy.
