Chapter 201 Romantic Ascension
Xiao Diao was circling around the big red package.
Chu Qiao smiled and said, "I won't keep you in suspense." Then he pulled the rope and a pile of cloth came out from it.
"What's this?"
"parachute?"
"No, the parachute isn't that big."
"So what is this?"
Chu Qiao ran back to the plane and brought down a large basket that was one meter long and wide. The captain then brought down a strange large metal part.
Chu Qiao pointed to a complicated pile of things on the ground and said, "This is a hot air balloon. This time, we are going to reach our destination by hot air balloon."
"Oh my god, this is so exciting."
Little Chicken: "Why do you need to bring Xiao Diao? Take me with you."
"Hot air balloons, so romantic, do they really exist?"
Chu Qiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I didn't feel any romance, I just felt tired."
"Just moving this thing is tiring enough, and getting the hot air balloon up in the air will be even more difficult."
Chu Qiao: "Hot air balloons are generally divided into four levels of volume. Since it's just Xiao Diao and I this time, we don't need a large one. The larger the balloon, the more fuel it consumes. So I chose the smaller seventh-level balloon, which has a volume of 2,000 cubic meters. There are also eighth-level, ninth-level, and tenth-level balloons, and the largest can reach 6,000 cubic meters.
As Chu Qiao spoke, he walked towards a metal component that was half a person's height. It had four metal brackets underneath and two mesh metal cylinders on top. If you look closely, you can see a large can underneath the metal cylinders.
Chu Qiao pointed at the canister and said, "A hot air balloon usually consists of three parts: the balloon, the basket, and the heating device. What we are looking at now is the heating device, and this canister contains the fuel. Before we assemble the three parts, we need to check each one individually."
As Chu Qiao spoke, he twisted the valve on the tank and the blue switch on one side. In an instant, two mesh metal cylinders sprayed out red flames more than 1 meter high.
The flame-spraying colleague made a loud noise, which scared the netizens in the live broadcast room and made them hide behind.
Chu Qiao and the captain took out the airbag. The hot air balloon was red and white striped. Chu Qiao didn't like this rather high-profile color. It wouldn't be given to him by the system, so he had no choice.
The airbag is surprisingly large, and its length when deployed is almost as tall as five or six adults.
Chu Qiao said as he sorted out the airbag: "The airbag is made of reinforced nylon. Although it is very light, it is very strong."
It took Chu Qiao and the captain more than ten minutes just to deploy the hot air balloon.
Xiao Diao picked up a corner of the hot air balloon and wanted to help, but Chu Qiao hurried over to stop him.
"Master Chu, let Xiao Diao do some work and don't spoil him."
"Exactly, with such a large airbag, how long will it take to make it?"
"Master Chu still dotes on Xiao Diao too much."
Chu Qiao carefully examined the place where Xiao Diao had bitten him, and held his forehead with his hand, saying, "I'm not spoiling it. I'm just afraid that I'll lose my life in its hands. Its teeth are too sharp. What if it makes a hole..."
"If the hole is at the bottom opening of the balloon, it's not a big problem, but if it's in the middle or at the top, the balloon will lose its balance and stability during flight due to the leakage of hot air."
Chu Qiao continued to flatten the airbag as he spoke.
It took half an hour for the entire airbag to be flattened. She and the captain lifted the basket, fixed the heating device in the basket, and then placed the basket sideways on the ground and connected it to the airbag.
Chu Qiao walked to the bottom opening of the airbag with something that looked like a fan and explained, "This is a blower. Its function is to inflate the entire airbag and make it expand."
As he spoke, Chu Qiao pressed the switch. With a whirring sound, the flat airbag began to inflate, and the upper layer of fabric swayed up and down like waves.
The entire air sac began to become full, and the originally wrinkled red and white stripes slowly became stretched, and it didn't seem so ugly anymore.
Chu Qiao nodded to the captain: "I'm ready to ignite."
Chu Qiao put down the blower and let it continue working on the ground, while she turned on the heating device. The flames suddenly shot up two or three meters high. The red and blue flames intertwined, instantly baking the surrounding air to deformation.
The captain subconsciously jumped to the side, covering his face, and ran into the helicopter.
Chu Qiao looked at Xiao Diao's fleeing back and kept shaking his head, with the words "no future" written all over his eyes.
The flames continued to burn, and Chu Qiao shouted to the captain: "Captain, help me again."
The two men grabbed the rope on the airbag and pulled it. The inflated hot air balloon was very heavy. Cold sweat broke out on the captain's forehead. Chu Qiao gritted his teeth. In a professional hot air balloon stadium, it would take at least five people to lift it. Now, they could only fight.
As the two people exerted their strength, the hot air balloon gradually changed from a flat position to an upright position.
The heating device continuously sprayed flames into the airbag, and the bulging airbag dragged the hanging basket and tended to float upwards.
The hanging basket seemed to be dozing off, touching the ground for a while, then bouncing up, touching the ground again, and bouncing up again.
It's time.
Chu Qiao shouted to the little wolf cub hiding in the helicopter: "Xiao Diao, get on."
Xiao Diao walked out of the helicopter slowly, moving hesitantly like an old woman. It was obvious that it was difficult for it to overcome the fear of fire.
But fuel doesn't wait for anyone. Chu Qiao frowned and his face turned cold: "Don't waste time. If you can't pass this level, you don't have to go."
Xiao Diao opened his eyes wide. The three words "No need to go" stimulated him. He immediately kicked his hind legs and jumped into the hanging basket.
Chu Qiao clung to the edge of the hanging basket, flipped over, and got in. Xiao Diao squatted in the corner farthest from the flames, staring at the flames intently, as if the flames wanted to eat him.
Chu Qiao smiled and reassured it: "As long as you control it well, fire is nothing to be afraid of, don't worry."
Chu Qiao's words did not have a soothing effect, and Xiao Diao still looked alert.
Chu Qiao knew that it took time for animals to accept something they instinctively hated, so he didn't force it.
He turned around and turned the knob to adjust the heater, making the flames more violent. The heating device was like two cannon barrels, but it sprayed out fire instead of shells.
While looking at the temperature and pressure on the dashboard, he explained to everyone: "Hot air balloons mainly use their own onboard heaters to adjust the temperature of the air in the balloon, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the rise and fall of the balloon."
The entire hanging basket was getting hotter and hotter because of the heater. Chu Qiao's sweat kept dripping from his forehead as the hot air balloon took off.
A gust of wind blew by, and Chu Qiao felt the evaporation of sweat on his forehead bringing coolness.
Xiao Diao looked at the birds flying past him and gradually became bolder. He lifted his front legs, stood up, clung to the edge of the hanging basket, and looked around.
Chu Qiao grabbed the back of its neck, fearing that it would jump down out of excitement.
