Fengyun slept soundly, and the biggest problem that bothered him was perfectly solved. He was full of confidence in making a hot air balloon that could fly over the Man-Canting Lake and land on Crow Island.
He still got up very early, and came outside the cave just as the sky was bright, but there were people who got up earlier than him, and they were preparing food.
The task of these people is to prepare food for all, especially in the morning, and it must be ready before sunrise.
Because of being in a good mood, Fengyun offered to help.
After the food was prepared, Gong Luhammer and others also left the cave one after another.
Almost filled their stomachs, Fengyun, Gongluhammer and others did not stay in the cave like yesterday, they had more important things to do.
They are going to conduct a test flight on the newly made hot air balloon.
Although they found many problems on the first hot air balloon and made targeted improvements one by one, it is impossible to determine the effect of the improvements without a test flight, and it is also difficult to find new problems.
They will conduct the second test flight so quickly to find problems that have not been found before. Otherwise, they will have problems after making more hot air balloons, and then want to modify them. Not to mention the difficulty, it will also take time and effort.
In order to ensure that there are no omissions, a total of two hot air balloons were used for the test flight this time.
Fortunately, the totem warriors are very powerful, and it is not difficult to carry two hot air balloons.
This time the test flight point was farther away from the cave. After all, it was daytime, so it was more conspicuous. It was only after a hundred miles away from the cave that Fengyun, Gongluhammer and his party stopped.
Even so, Fengyun still sent some soldiers to guard against accidents.
For his approach, Gong Luhammer and others did not feel that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, but instead supported him.
They knew very well that they were now completely on the opposite side of Crow Ba, and if they wanted to avoid being retaliated by him, they had to take this opportunity to completely defeat him, and to achieve this goal, secrecy was crucial.
"ignition."
According to the usual practice, after filling the airbag with a certain amount of air, Fengyun gave the order to ignite.
This time, it was Gong Lu Hammer who took the torch to light it. As soon as the torch got close to the brazier, the raging flames suddenly rose.
The material of the brazier is very special. It is made of bone, more precisely, the skull of a wild beast. It was chiseled open and some excess bones were removed. In order to reduce the weight, it was also cut. The final product is relatively thin.
This is a lesson learned from the previous test flight that was not successful enough.
The reason why the last time the hot air balloon was staggering and staggering during its flight was because the skull of the wild beast that was used as a brazier was too heavy. At that time, I simply cut off the top and drilled a few more to tie the rope. small holes.
According to Fengyun's estimation, the entire beast's skull weighs much more than his entire body, almost as heavy as two of him.
The processed savage skull became much lighter, only about half his weight, but he wasn't worried that it would be burned.
In addition to being very strong, the bones of wild beasts are also very fire-resistant.
In the Yan Snake Tribe, they used the open skulls of beasts as braziers, put logs on the ground, and put them inside the house to keep warm in winter. Once they were burned all winter, they did not burn out.
Perhaps it is the result of improvements in all aspects of the new hot air balloon. The test flight effect this time is much better than the last one.
As soon as the brazier was ignited, the airbag left the ground and floated up into the air in a short while, and the speed of rising was very fast. Soon, the rope that tied the brazier was stressed and pulled off the ground, and then the hanging basket.
If the people below hadn't pulled the rope in time, the hot air balloon might have flown away in no time.
Fengyun took two steps forward,
He jumped into the hanging basket.
In order to prevent accidents, he insisted on Fengyun as a test pilot. This also caused Gong Luhammer's dissatisfaction, but he finally won the position.
Gonglu Hammer is too important to him, and he doesn't want any accidents to happen to him.
"Leave the rope."
After standing firmly in the hanging basket, Fengyun immediately ordered the soldiers pulling the hanging basket to loosen the rope.
The soldiers let go of their hands in response. It was completely different from the last time. The hot air balloon rose into the air almost without any pause, and the speed was quite fast.
"Senior Gonglu, please come up."
Seeing that he was getting away from the ground, Feng Yun suddenly yelled at Gong Lu Hammer who was looking up at him.
"okay."
Gong Lu hammer was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't think that Fengyun would let him do this, but he soon showed a bright smile, he had waited for this moment for too long.
He had already made up his mind that when the second hot air balloon took off, he must board it, otherwise he would be in a hurry.
Now that he could board the hot air balloon ahead of schedule, he naturally wished for it.
I saw Gong Luhammer stomping heavily on the ground with both feet. The ground couldn't bear the huge impact, and a big hole was immediately blown out, and his whole body was like a shell fired from the chamber, with the sound of wind, Xiang Fengyun bumped into the past.
Fengyun couldn't help shaking his head, and quickly walked to the edge of the hanging basket, before Gonglu Hammer hit the hanging basket, he grabbed him first, and was about to take off his momentum.
Although Fengyun had mastered the unloading technique very well, but when he grabbed the Gonglu Hammer, the hanging basket still swayed a lot, almost causing the fuel in the brazier to splash out.
When Gong Luhammer was pulled into the hanging basket by Fengyun, he smiled embarrassedly at Fengyun, but his attention was quickly attracted by the hot air balloon, looking up for a while, and looking down at the ground for a while , waving at the soldiers who followed the hot air balloon, looking very excited, like a child getting a new toy.
Fengyun didn't say anything, just watched from the sidelines with a smile on his face.
Although his original intention of making the hot air balloon was to use it to fly to Crow Island and completely defeat Crow Ba and his Black Crow Tribe, but he could not help but feel a little satisfied that he could bring happiness to Gong Luhammer.
After a while, Gonglu Hammer had had enough of playing, but at this time he also found a problem, turned his head to look at Fengyun, and asked anxiously: "Fengyun, what's going on? Flying into the air?"
"Senior Gonglu, you didn't realize it at this time, did you?"
Feng Yun glared at Gong Lu Hammer, showing a sulky expression, it was really slow to realize something was wrong at this moment.
"Now is not the time to discuss whether I will show up early or late. The question is how do we get back to the surface?"
Seeing that the distance between himself and the ground was still increasing, Gong Luhammer no longer had a smile on his face, but was replaced by fear. (To be continued.)
