Chapter 469

Stone bear is sure that this balloon launch is definitely the first human flight in this historical space-time!

In other words, the stone bear himself and the fast horse beside him are the two people who really fly to the sky for the first time in human history.

This is the first in history! It's not true to say it's not exciting.

Can coexist with excitement, is a greater sense of fear! Well, this is reflected incisively and vividly in the fast horses around us.

The stone bear has no acrophobia. It has no acrophobia in the past and this life. But even if he, standing in this kind of rickety hanging basket, watching the earth rapidly away from himself, his body will inevitably have a sense of uncontrollable fear.

This kind of fear has nothing to do with whether you have acrophobia or not. It's just an instinctive reaction.

But the fast horse around us is miserable.

At the beginning, this guy was able to keep calm, but when the height of the basket was more than 20 meters above the ground, this guy had stopped shaking the hand dryer, and Shi Xiong could clearly see his half sleeve made of cotton cloth, which was completely soaked with sweat.

Naturally, it's not tired, it's not exposed to the sun, it's just the result of sweat secretion caused by fear.

Stone bear tilts his head and looks at the fast horse beside him, which is also funny.

At this time, the horse had no calmness. He stood in the basket with sweat all over his body. If his hands had not grasped the guardrail, he would not have been able to stand at this time.

Once invincible, the head of the first regiment of the explosive bear brigade has completely become a quail

Although the stone bear has some instinctive reaction, he is not worried. The main reason is that the stone bear is very confident in the balloon he made himself.

The original hot-air balloon made by the montegorfi brothers in historical time and space is not only not as big as the one made by themselves, but also far less than the one made by themselves.

The Montgolfier brothers' hot-air balloons made of paper and cotton cloth can take them to the sky successfully, so the hot-air balloons made by themselves are even more perfect.

After all, my balloon is painted with tung oil. The cotton cloth coated with tung oil not only greatly reduces the air permeability, but also adds more than ten stiffeners on the outside of the balloon, which further ensures the safety of the balloon.

As for the hard bell made of bamboo pieces, it can prevent the hot air of the stove from igniting the cotton cloth with tung oil.

In general, the stone bear's hot-air balloon, even if it can't compare with the modern hot-air balloons of later generations, will definitely surpass the one made by the montegarfield brothers.

Moreover, the balloon's volume is larger. According to the rough calculation of Shi Xiong, the balloon's volume can reach 2000 cubic meters.

You should know that the volume of ax-7 hot air balloon is 2176 cubic meters. And that kind of ax-7 hot air balloon in the empty weight of 170 kg, can also have up to 620 kg of lift off force.

Although the weight of the self-made hot-air balloon reaches 500 kg, which is much more important than that of the ax-7 hot-air balloon, such a large hot-air balloon can at least carry 500 kg into the air.

The weight of the stone bear itself is more than 100 kg, plus the weight of the stove and coal is only 200 kg, plus a fast horse, the total weight is less than 300 kg. In terms of the carrying capacity of the balloon, it is more than enough to bear this weight.

It is because of the confidence in the balloon that the stone bear is not so afraid.

He patted the horse on the shoulder and scared the guy out of the basket.

Looking at Kuaima's pale face, the stone bear said with a bitter smile: "my good brother, you don't have to be so afraid. This hot air balloon can ensure that we can't fall down. Well, if you don't want to jump yourself

"I, I, I..." the horse shivered for a long time, and could only say one "I". It can be seen that this guy was really scared.

"Don't worry. Don't be afraid. Don't you have me by your side? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! " The stone bear continued to comfort.

"Mm-hmm... silly head, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I, I'm not afraid..." Kuaima even called out the "silly head" that didn't cry for a long time, which shows that the child has been scared silly now.

This made the stone bear amused, and his voice burst out laughing in mid air.

At this time, the hanging basket of the balloon was more than 50 meters away from the ground.

"Come on, horse. Take a few deep breaths. Then look up at the distance. Don't look under your feet. You'll feel better."

Kuaima began to adjust slowly according to what Shi Xiong said. Sure enough, soon his condition became better, and his attention was completely attracted by the magnificent scenery in the distance.

Don't say fast horse, even the stone bear himself was shocked by the scenery in front of him.

The stone bear has never been an overheated balloon in his past and present life. Naturally, he has never felt this wonderful feeling of intimate contact with the sky. Although he made many airplanes in his previous life, how can airplanes compare with hot air balloons?

It's like a comparison between driving and riding a motorcycle. Although it's dangerous to drive a motorcycle, there are still many people who are happy and tired. In fact, they just want to feel the fast stimulation without any barriers.

It's the same with ballooning and flying. Even if you fly higher by plane, there is cabin protection outside. Even if you only rise to the height of 500 meters in a hot air balloon, the feeling and stimulation of full and close contact with high altitude without any barrier can never be compared by plane.

Although Kuaima no longer shakes the hand hair dryer, there is enough hot air in the balloon at this time, so the basket quickly rises to the height of about 500 meters.

Then, at this height, the whole balloon is pulled by the rope which is fixed on the hanging basket at one end and on the tree root at the other end.

At this height, the wind is much stronger and cooler. Of course, what is more beautiful is the magnificent scenery around.

I have to say that the ecological environment of the North American continent in this era is really wonderful.

The stone bear has never seen such beautiful and dense vegetation in his two lives. In this era, the Americans have not yet moved westward, and the vegetation in the Appalachian Mountains has not been destructively cut down, so when you look around from an altitude of 500 meters, there are lush forests everywhere.

A few crystal clear rivers shuttle through the dense mountain forest, occasionally showing a small section, as if dotted with gems in the mountain forest.

Further away, there are endless mountains, with no edge at a glance.

In the 500 meter air without any shelter, the two people standing in the basket were shocked by the magnificent scenery
