Super Chief

Chapter 467: The stuff that the traverser must make

There are fifty or sixty women who sew this big guy, but even so, it took more than ten days to sew this big guy. During the two rains, the Chief Chief used hundreds of people to move this big guy into the Grey Palace to avoid this big guy made of cotton cloth from getting wet.

After more than ten days after the big guy was sewn, the Chief Chief arranged for someone to spread out all the big guys that had been sewn. Only then did the people of Monongahela see how big this big guy really is.

Because it is flat on the ground, this big guy is double-layered, and the whole looks like an irregular drop shape.

The length is more than 20 meters, and the widest part in the middle also looks like 15 or 6 meters.

In the smallest place below, the huge "big horn" woven with bamboo was covered, and four layers of cloth were used to reinforce it, which is equivalent to sewing the "big horn" directly into this The bottom of the big guy.

Because of the existence of this "big horn" that is more than four meters high, the entire bottom is supported, as if it were a hole.

After spreading out, the Chief Chief arranged for someone to take out barrels of tung oil from the warehouse. This thing was also brought by the Vasichu named Hank, and according to Lord Chief, this kind of tung oil was transported from the far east to the European continent, and then it was transported here by Hank by ship.

The Chief Chief said that this kind of tung oil is an excellent paint. Brushing the tung oil on this big guy sewn with white cloth can make this big guy have a good waterproof and leak-proof effect, and it is also resistant to high temperature and corrosion.

The clansmen don’t know what heat resistance and corrosion resistance are, but judging from the satisfied expression on the chieftain’s face, the clansmen know that the chieftain is very satisfied with this big guy.

It took a long time to brush this big guy all over, and it took three full barrels of tung oil.

The people of the tribe knew that whether it was tung oil or white cloth, they were all drawn from those Vasichu, and they were all precious things.

But such a precious thing was used to make such a big guy, what the **** did Chief Chief do?

The Stone Bear did not let the tribes wait too much. Almost all the tribes living in Monongahela gathered in front of the Ash Palace in the morning of the next day. They wanted to see how the Chief Chief used so much manpower and material resources these days. What is the thing that came out?

When the people gathered in front of the Grey Palace, they discovered that there was another big hanging basket under the big guy. This hanging basket is also woven with bamboo. Although I didn't touch it with my hands, just by looking at the shape of the hanging basket, I know that this guy is strong enough.

The hanging basket is connected to the big guy's bell mouth by eight ropes, and at this time the bell mouth has been raised high by a dozen stakes, and the bell mouth is facing down.

In the hanging basket below the trumpet, the tribe saw many soldiers of the Grim Bear Army. Two of them were familiar with them. They were the Bone Spears and Crazy Bulls of the 2nd and 3rd Divisions of the Grim Bear Army.

At this moment, the two of them were standing outside the gondola, instructing the soldiers to take turns shaking something with their hands. At this time, the tribe found that there was a burning stove beside the Chief Chief standing in the hanging basket.

The thing that the soldiers shook also knew that it was something called a hand-cranked hair dryer. This thing was also invented by the Chief Chief, as long as the outside handle was shaken with his hand, the fire could skyrocket rapidly.

The big stove in the gondola is not small. At this time, the flames from the mouth of the stove, under the agitation of the hand-cranked hair dryer, jumped up to a height of more than one meter!

The flame is still a little away from the bell mouth, but the heated air is continuously sent into the big guy through the bell mouth.

In fact, this big guy made by Shixiong is a hot air balloon! The kind of hot air balloon that can carry people into the sky.

As a traverser, how could something like a hot air balloon with extremely high military value not be produced?

In the original historical time and space, before the advent of airplanes, hot air balloons were the only way for humans to go to the sky. Moreover, even during the First World War, hot air balloons had extremely high military value in the war.

Ordinary hot air balloons can take the sentry to an altitude of several hundred meters, so that it can better detect the enemy. And the airship developed from the hot air balloon can throw a bullet into the enemy's position from the air!

In the original historical time and space, a hot air balloon capable of carrying people into the sky would not be invented by the Montgolfier brothers in France until 1783, sixteen years later.

The Montgolfier brothers were in papermaking in France. They were inspired by seeing the scraps of paper rising in the stove, and they used paper bags to gather heat for experiments, so that the paper bags could continue to rise with the airflow.

This is actually the French version of Kongming Lantern.

Later, the Montgolfier brothers magnified the French version of the Kongming Lantern hundreds of times, using cotton cloth pasted with paper as the material, and the interface of the cloth was connected by buttons to make a hot air balloon with a diameter of about 106 meters.

The brothers used wood and dried straw as fuel to deliver heated air to the hot air balloon. Then, on June 4, 1783, the hot air balloon made its first public performance in the Place Annoné in Lyon, France.

This hot air balloon slowly lifted into the sky under the attention of many Lyonians, and then slowly floated for a distance of about 24 kilometers driven by the wind.

Obviously, the first public performance of a large hot air balloon in human history was a success!

Of course, the hot air balloon at this time cannot carry people, even the Monte Gorfi brothers who invented the hot air balloon did not dare to ride this hot air balloon. But the brothers still sent a rooster, a duck and a goat to the gondola of this hot-air balloon. These three animals were fortunate enough to be the passengers of the first hot-air balloon.

In September of the same year, the Montgolfier brothers performed a hot air balloon lift-off performance for the king, queen, court minister and 130,000 citizens of Paris in front of the Palace of Versailles in Paris.

Of course, this performance is still a performance without passengers.

After two consecutive successes, UU reading www.uukanshu.com gave the Monte Gulfi brothers full of confidence, so they decided to perform a manned launch in November of the same year!

On the afternoon of November 21, 1783, the Montgolfie brothers boarded a hot air balloon gondola they made by themselves at Fort Muerte in Paris. After the hot air balloon took off, they flew for two more times under the drive of the north wind. In fifteen minutes, it finally landed in Plaza Italia after flying over half of Paris.

This flight is the first manned flight in human history! A hundred and twenty years earlier than the Wright brothers!

Flying has always been an ultimate dream of mankind. Before the Montgolfier brothers made a hot air balloon, humans could only dream of flying into the sky in a dream.

And now, the stone bear whose soul has passed through from later generations will naturally not give up the first opportunity for human beings to fly into the sky to the French!

The most important thing is that in this era, to build a safe enough hot air balloon in advance is really of extremely high military value!

Therefore, Shi Xiong spent a lot of manpower and material resources to create such a big guy!
