Chapter 171 Be a Hot Air Balloon

Recently, a new teahouse has appeared in Wessenburg. The boxes are spacious and bright, with comfortable seats and bookshelves. Guests come here in groups with their books to exchange information. , read the discussion.

On this Sunday afternoon, many guests came to the large box of a teahouse. The music played by the Wesson radio station came from the radio. It was the time of the music program. member.

Frederick did not take Vanessa to the Grand Duchy of Mainz this time. She needs to organize the documents of various departments and wait for the leaders to deal with them when they return. At this time, she is sitting next to Schmidt's shoulders, studying a book from Anglo Kingdom's book titled Natural and Political Observations on the Bill of Death.

On the sofa next to them, Katie and Koehler had serious expressions, and jointly analyzed the color scheme in a manuscript story book from the Kingdom of Gaul.

BASF sat on the other side with his wife, who was five or six months pregnant, listening to Duval promote the latest thermos bottle.

Duval's new wife, Wagner, introduced to her fellow apprentice Liebherr the information she had collected on unmarried young women of the right age. This was an order from Professor Ommett to find a companion for this nerd, and Get out more.

Liebherr was feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles at the moment, and wanted to go back to the laboratory and continue tinkering with the excavator.

Suddenly, a voice from the radio broke the silence in the box: "Now an urgent announcement is being broadcast! Schmidt, BASF, come to the castle as soon as you hear it. It's up to you whether the principal can get a wife!!"

Ogilvy's voice was very familiar to them. The emergency notification was repeated three times, and everyone who looked at each other came back to their senses.

"Hurry up!" Katie was the first to jump up, "Go back to the castle and see what's going on!"

Although she was not mentioned by name, she was the one who was most excited about Frederick.

The second one to jump up was Liebherr, who quickly ran out of the box after saying "I'll call a car for you".

BASF said to his wife: "It seems that this time the matter is not simple, you should go home first."

As soon as his wife agreed, Wagner said to her brother, "Don't worry, I'll take her home."

Schmidt looked at Vanessa, and Vanessa naturally wanted to go back to see if the boss had something to do.

Koehler and Duval saw that everyone else had run away, so they also followed to watch the excitement.

When they came to the living room of the castle, they saw Frederick staring at Ogilvy, the Minister of Administration, Frick, and several other important ministers, who were happily discussing the future Duke with the tailor Romon and Psyche. Lady's wedding dress style.

Katie immediately went over and rubbed Frederick's face which had already been rubbed by Psyche and said, "Oh, our Frederick has finally grown up."

Frederick smirked a few times, and said, "Sister, then you have to work harder, don't let me get ahead... Ouch!"

Katie pinched his face angrily.

When Frederick saw that everyone was there, he asked the maid to bring a blackboard, and then stood in front of him and said, "I have received a problem. I need to make a machine that can make people fly into the sky without magic and monsters."

Schmidt and the others were startled, and then became excited.

Many people have researched this kind of machine, but no one has been able to make it. In addition, there are flying monsters, so the investment in this area is not large, and the progress is very slow.

Now Frederick called everyone together and explained that he had a clue.

Frederick used to sit in a hot air balloon when traveling. He drew a hot air balloon on the blackboard and marked the size. The height of the balloon is 26 meters, the maximum diameter is 12 meters, and there is a hanging basket underneath.

Katie asked him curiously: "So you can fly?"

Frederick replied: "Wait a minute, the model will be ready later."

After a while, a maid brought a newly glued Kongming lantern.

Frederick directly lit the linen cloth soaked in alcohol in the cup below in the living room, and the Kongming Lantern flew up after a while.

The Kongming Lantern was extinguished by throwing an ice spell just after flying for a while, and then slowly descended.

He has a little psychological shadow on Kongming lanterns. In his previous life, the safety net of the construction site next door was lit by a Kongming lantern that flew from nowhere. The loss was heavy and no one could be caught, so he never came out to play with that one.

"That's the principle." Frederick said, "The density of the hot air is low, so the balloon generates buoyancy, which lifts the basket below and the contents inside."

"Balloons are sewn of linen and covered with a layer of glue to prevent leakage."

BASF immediately nodded and replied: "That's no problem, I can ask the factory to transfer the goods from the warehouse immediately."

Frick also said: "You can buy linen in the name of the Executive Yuan, and you can get it together quickly."

This is what Romon said: "I think this kind of cloth should be strong and light enough. I asked my students to check it, and don't let bad cloth get mixed in."

"Professor Ogilvy, can you use a lathe to make a model that is ten times smaller immediately? I will use paper to determine the size of each piece of cloth, and then make a large sample for other tailors in the city to cut. You can also ask an embroiderer to help sewing."

Frick immediately agreed and asked the tarpaulin workshop to help.

Frederick nodded in agreement, and then said: "There is still a problem right now, what should be used to light the fire under the hot air balloon. The fire needs to be sustained and fierce, and magic cannot be used."

At this time, he fell into a cognitive blind spot and took the sightseeing hot air balloon of the 21st century as a template. Little did he know that the first hot air balloon in his hometown was burned with straw and flew two kilometers away.

So Psyche smiled and said to him, "Why don't you try burning wood?"

Frederick shook his head. Subconsciously, he felt that this method was unreliable. At first, he thought about acetylene, which is common in construction sites, but he forgot how to use calcium carbide.

At this time, Liebherr, who fled here to get rid of the girlfriend he was introduced to, asked: "Is it okay to use an alcohol blowtorch? Setting up a blowtorch matrix is ​​enough to heat the air."

"Ah?" Frederick was stunned for a moment, "Is there an alcohol blowtorch?"

He naturally understood what an alcohol blowtorch was, but he had never used it in his previous life except for heating charcoal and copper oxide in chemistry class.

"Of course there is." Liebherr said, "Isn't this what you use to shave pig's trotters?"

Frederick blinked. It seemed that he had been away from the base for too long. He recalled it again. It seems that the combustion value of absolute alcohol is higher than that of wood, which is similar to that of coal. It should be no problem to make it alive.

"Okay, just use this." Frederick said to Liebherr with a smile, "When you succeed, you and I will go to Mainz City together, maybe you will find a girlfriend."

They have been here for so long, and it was the first time that Frederick saw Liebherr outside the blacksmith shop. This man had been researching the excavator, but the excavation system was completed, but the action system had problems.

So Ogilvy recently tried his best to get him out of the blacksmith shop, do something else, change his mind, maybe he will be inspired.

But as soon as Frederick finished speaking, Liebherr's face turned pale.

Everyone thought that he was ignored because of the problem of traveling, and Frederick began to break down the tasks to everyone.

Frederick looked at Schmidt, and then at Liebherr. He originally wanted Schmidt to be in charge of this work, but now he changed his mind and said, "Liebherr, you should be in charge of this project." , Schmidt will help you."

Liebherr was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the principal to assign this task to himself, so he immediately refused: "No, no, let Schmidt come. I don't have experience, so I'd better run errands."

Frederick shook his head and said, "It is because you have no experience in project management that you are allowed to manage this project. Otherwise, how can you manage a factory like Schmidt, BASF, and Duval in the future?"

Liebherr hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, I'll try."

After the task was arranged, everyone began to go about their business.
