As both aircraft, airships and airplanes are far less well-known and popular than airplanes.
But judging from the current technological level of the Demon Continent, airships are far more suitable than airplanes, and the most important thing is that what Li He created is not outrageous.
First of all, in terms of power, Ji Xing, who had taken a train once, knew that steam power was already relatively mature, and it could also be used as a power source for airships, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Secondly, in terms of materials, linen, nylon, etc. can be used to make airbags. In terms of metal materials, because hunters are generally equipped with hunter knives, the research on this aspect in Demon Continent is even ahead of the modern times.
As for the filling gas, it is really difficult to produce the safer helium, but using hydrogen is not a big problem. Hydrogen does not explode as easily as most people imagine. As long as there are more air bags, even if it is encountered during flight
A lightning strike will at most cause one airbag to burn out.
Moreover, Ji Xing did not think that the airship he built would be so easy to popularize for civilian use. He was intended for military use, that is, for hunters. As long as he takes a numbered hunter with a certain amount of spiritual power, he can handle most emergencies.
situation to further ensure safety.
All prerequisites are met.
What 'Li He' needs to invent, or to discover, is just 'if the filling gas is lighter than air, this thing can fly'.
The most important thing is that this thing is in the sky, big and conspicuous, and it is a sharp tool for collecting starlight.
But Xu Shengnan didn’t believe it this time.
Last time, she built a solar stove. This time she thought Ji Xing would improve a pot and stove, but you said you wanted to go to the sky? Isn't this a joke?
So in the next few days, Ji Xing first released a balloon in front of her, and then made a hot air balloon capable of carrying people to the sky.
Only then did Xu Shengnan take it seriously: "Are you serious, Li He? Even if you fly up, how do you plan to get down? This thing is no joke. Even if I fell from such a height, I would fall into a lake.
Only a powerful hunter's spiritual power like Yan Shen Xun can support flight."
"Change the gas density and open the auxiliary air bag, and you will be able to land slowly." Ji Xing was convinced.
"Change the density of the gas..." Xu Shengnan muttered, seeming to understand or not, and patted Ji Xing's shoulder: "Okay, I will trust you just once."
Soon, the actions here attracted Yanqiu's attention. After knowing what the two were doing, he instantly became extremely surprised and interested.
Because of his superpowers, he can tame spiritual beasts and has a rare spiritual eagle mount, so he is the easiest among the candidate divine hunters to undertake errands. He knows that there are not many dangers in the sky, and if he masters the ability to fly without spiritual power
The method may bring changes to the entire world!
And coincidentally, being able to fly and having a spiritual eagle mount, he provided the last link to safety.
After chatting with Ji Xing that day, he used his badge to contact the hunter Sun Qin. Sun Qin on the opposite side was stunned for a long time before he said: "Is this Li He again? He has already tried two new games.
, brought good results, and made us clearer about the principle of identifying monsters in the game, and it was basically consistent with his judgment.
It shows that he is not just lucky, he is also very smart... can he fly? Try it together and see if he can bring us another big surprise!"
So Yanqiu and Xu Shengnan cooperated, and Ji Xing, a scientist who seemed to be groping forward but actually knew the answer, gave advice. The first airship in the Demon Continent was built very quickly.
Because there were many people employed, and no deliberate confidentiality was kept, gradually, the news that the Hunter Guild was secretly building a flying ship spread throughout Jinhui City, triggering public controversy.
…
A month and a half later, a middle-aged man with a beard and a vicissitudes of life got off the train at Jinhuicheng Station and looked around.
"Huh? No one picked me up."
"Oh, I didn't notify them."
After muttering a few words, he walked out of the station, walked for a while, grabbed someone and asked, "Hello, how do I get to the Hunter Guild?"
The passers-by were very enthusiastic: "Over there, over there. Are you coming from other places to see the excitement? You're late. There are already people around there now. Let's just watch from a distance. If such a big thing can really fly,
, you can see it everywhere.”
What? The bearded middle-aged man frowned in confusion, thanked the passersby, and then walked in the direction of the Hunter Guild.
The station was not far from the Hunter's Guild, and he soon heard loud noises.
"Don't crowd, don't crowd!"
"You can't get in, just look over here!"
A dense crowd appeared in his sight, and he frowned again: "What are you doing, such a large crowd gathering."
Like a loach, the dense crowd seemed to automatically separate to both sides as he walked by. He quickly successfully walked inside and saw a circle of hunters stationed there and the huge...
Call it an airship? Can it fly?
Gathering some information from the crowd's comments, he scratched his head and looked at the huge weird machine in front of him - it was about as high as two stories, and it was indeed divided into upper and lower floors. It was more than 20 meters long, and its weight
I'm afraid even non-numbered hunters can't move it, so they still want to go to the sky?
He gently patted the shoulder of a little girl beside him: "Hello, little girl, was this airship made by the Hunter Guild of Jinhui City?"
"No, it was designed by brother Li He. Our guild is just helping." Tu Honghong turned to look at him and replied: "Uncle, are you a foreigner? Don't you believe this can fly?"
"Hahaha..." The bearded man chuckled twice without responding, thinking in his heart: This Jinhui City Hunter Guild is a bit unreliable.
Tu Honghong was dissatisfied with this reaction: "Brother Li He is very powerful, just wait and see."
'Li He? This name... oh yes, the ordinary person who received the second-class hunting honor.'
The bearded man turned his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him who was groping for confirmation by the 'airship'. Is he?
So he is a scientist? The reason why he got the second-class honorary medal was because he invented something important?
But flying and stuff...
He shook his head, is this the thing?
Ahead, Ji Xing symbolically inspected a circle of airships and came to Xu Shengnan and Yan Qiu.
"No problem, we can conduct a test flight!"
Yan Qiu nodded slightly, while Xu Shengnan looked around and said: "Li He, please don't go up there. I know how to operate it. If something goes wrong, it's easier for Yan Shen Lie to save me alone..."
"That won't work, Sister Shengnan. I'm not that afraid of death, and I have confidence in my design. The first operation must be done by me."
Yanqiu said softly: "It doesn't matter, no matter what happens, you will be fine."
Ji Xing persisted and offered Yan Qiu as a guarantee, but Xu Shengnan stopped persuading him.
Soon, under the command of Ji Xing, the hunters fixed the airship to the nailed wooden stakes with ropes, and then inflated the auxiliary air bags.
Under Ji Xing's design, the airship has four main airbags. When full of air, it will be slightly heavier than air and will not take off.
The auxiliary airbag is used to adjust the lift of the airship. The airship is filled with hydrogen and takes off. After deflation, the airship lands. The principle is very easy to understand, but in this technological background, it is like a dream.
Seeing that the airbag was inflated normally, Ji Xing, Xu Shengnan and Yanqiu boarded the airship cabin. When the people around saw someone entering, their comments muted for a moment and their eyes converged.
Under the gaze of pairs of eyes, the huge airship really began to shake slowly and gradually levitated. If it hadn't been pulled by the nailed rope, it would have already lifted into the air!
There was an uproar.
"Can it really fly?!"
"Can you fly very high?"
"Vice President, take me with you!"
Xu Shengnan poked his head out: "Get out! Old Zhang, you were afraid of being embarrassed before, but now you believe it? You want to be the first to go to heaven, there is no way!"
There was a burst of laughter among the hunters, and the middle-aged man with beard on the periphery was dumbfounded: 'No, Yan Qiu didn't use his spiritual power to float, and it's impossible for him to do such a thing. Is this thing really flying on its own?'
Ordinary people were whispering to each other excitedly, and the noise in the periphery became louder. People were jumping on tiptoes and looking around like Tiggers.
And when the hydrogen gas was fully charged and the rope pulling the airship was cut off, they no longer had to jump, because the huge airship flew straight into the sky for everyone to see!
"So high! So powerful!"
Tu Hong was jumping around excitedly, and he didn't forget to ask the bearded man next to him: "Do you believe it now? I just said that Senior Li He is very powerful!"
The bearded man stared straight at the sky, without responding, and his heart was in constant turmoil: 'This thing, this thing... if it can move forward and land smoothly, if it can... Li He? It's really amazing!'
The entire Jinhui City gradually saw the airship rising higher and higher. For a moment, it was like a festival carnival, and people who did not know each other gathered to communicate.
People who had never believed in flying airships became even more excited, forgetting their previous doubts and pointing excitedly.
The name Li He has been mentioned by countless people.
In the past, Li Hecai's demon attack only made him famous. This time, it is to make him famous!
In the sky, the airship had gradually risen to a height of more than a thousand meters, becoming smaller and smaller in the eyes of the crowd below. Ji Xing sat in the driving position of the airship, glanced at the Seven Star Pearl, and smiled with a smile on his face.
A world without the Internet can finally collect starlight on a large scale.
But this is just a small head.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the airship swayed slightly. Xu Shengnan beside him swayed: "Ahem, the height is about the same, Li He..."
Ji Xing turned around and realized that Xu Shengnan's face was a little pale, and asked in surprise: "Is Sister Shengnan also afraid of heights?"
Xu Shengnan looked uncomfortable, and Yan Qiu next to him said softly: "Most people are a little scared when they rise to high altitudes for the first time. People like you, Li He, are rare. You just need to get used to it."
His voice was like a clear spring, and it was obvious that he had used supernatural powers, which made Xu Shengnan's expression improve, and he nodded gently to Yanqiu to thank him.
At this time, the airship's ascent had basically stopped. Yan Qiu said expectantly: "Li He, try to see if it can start."
Of course it is possible.
Driven by the steam turbine, Ji Xing started the airship and let it idling smoothly over Jinhui City for a small half circle without any problems.
A large amount of starlight was collected. The necks and eyes of the ordinary people below were sore, but they could not take their eyes away. They kept looking for traces of the airship, and cheered when they found it.
On the airship, Yan Qiu also gave Ji Xingxing light one after another. Until the airship flew back over the Hunter Guild, he couldn't help but take out the contact badge and activate it to contact Sun Qin.
When the badge lit up and without waiting for Sun Qin on the opposite side to ask, he said: "It's successful, Li He is successful, Sun Shenlie!
We flew smoothly in a circle at a high altitude, about 1,800 meters, and are now preparing to land, and there seems to be no problem."
"Really?" The voice on the other side of the badge also said with surprise: "Okay, very good!"
Ji Xing's star jumped more than 1 million in an instant! Similarly, compared to the previous accidental killing of demons, this time's airship, even if the divine hunter learns about it, will have an emotion of 'admiration'.
This is just the beginning, what happens when the news spreads among hunters? That will be the big head!
If you want to collect starlight as quickly as possible, you have to get it from these powerful people.
