When Renault left, he took away ten hot air balloons. This time he was full. Except for the food and water that was enough for the passengers, the other cabins were all used to fill the balm in buckets. Renault didn't know if he could find such suitable hot air balloon fuel in other places in Nanzhang. It was absolutely right to prepare it first.

Moreover, Renault is also preparing to use the fuel of flowing balm to make incendiary bombs. Although its combustion intensity is far from comparable to gasoline, Renault has never found oil in Dachu. Among the fuels he knows, flowing balm is already the best.

As long as there is a stable station, Renault will find a way to make alcohol and dilute the flow balm with alcohol without adding thickeners such as sugar. The flow balm itself is very sticky. If a combustion aid can be found, the effect will be similar to that of fuel-elastic.

In a world like the ancient earth like Dachu, if you want to become a qualified military supervisor, you must learn to set fire. Throughout history, more than 50% of well-known battles are inseparable from water and fire.

Don’t think setting fire is simple. In the years without a fire bomb, it is not easy to make the fire burn and burn it too big. The enemy is not stupid. If you know setting fire, people will naturally know to put out the fire. With a fire bomb, it is completely different. It can make the violent thing that arson is very artistic.

The Air Force is in great need of incendiary bombs.

The level of pilots taught by Song Zhe is very different. The flying troops composed of ten hot air balloons gather and disperse. The poor Earth Immortal had to fly around in the air and guide the rookie pilot step by step so that the air force will not disperse as it flies.

It was okay during the day, but it was a little dark, so Song Zhe ordered the landing. In fact, the hot air balloon can fly in the sky day and night. Anyway, as long as it floats in the air, it is impossible to think of a traffic accident. But Song Zhe dared not. Anything that can fly away in broad daylight. If he really flew all night, he would probably be left with a hot air balloon at dawn. Only ghosts know where the others have flew.

The speed is slow, it doesn't matter. Just practice taking off and landing. Although the hot air balloon landing is not as dangerous as the aircraft carrier aircraft landing, it is also a bit difficult. Moreover, this is Nanzhang, and the hot air balloon can only land on the top of the tree, which requires even higher requirements for the pilot.

The supplies in Dachu are too short. If there are enough ropes and ten hot air balloons are connected all the way, they can fly until night time. It is better to throw them away together.

Renault told Song Zhe his thoughts that that night, the drivers started to get busy after dinner. The most unabundant thing in the rainforest was vines. Find the right one, peel off the outer skin, break up the fibers inside, and hand-woven. In one night, they actually woven ropes that cost thousands of meters long. Although they were only the thickness of fingers, they were stronger than those of a child's arms.

Seeing the result of a busy night, Renault was stunned. Da Chu was short of supplies, but the hands-on ability and the methods of using nature really surprised Renault.

The selected vines are all the same as fingers, very tender, but tough enough, and they break up the fibers and woven into ropes. After several days of exposure to the sun, they brush the balm while drying. After drying, the bearing capacity of this rope can be increased several times. In just three or five groups, two hot air balloons can be connected together without worrying about being blown off by strong wind.

The only disadvantage of this rope is that it is afraid of fire. The dried vine fibers are flammable by themselves. In addition, the flowing balm that has been brushed several times, so it doesn't burn too quickly.

Three days later, ten hot air balloons can finally fly day and night. The speed of the hot air balloon array connected by ropes has dropped significantly by ten to twenty percent. Compared with the benefits obtained from this, this speed loss is not worth mentioning.

First of all, Song Zhe finally didn't have to worry about losing the hot air balloon. Secondly, he could fly at night. The most important thing is that as long as he was the only one responsible for finding the airflow, all ten hot air balloons could fly in the right direction.

Of course, this Air Force not only had ten hot air balloons, but also had 300 Black Hair Knights with him. In the first three days, Black Hair flew very relaxed and leisurely, and the hot air balloon was too slow. Song Zhe was determined to let Black Hair fly with the hot air balloon, but Renault decisively refused.

It is necessary to practice. Hot air balloons are not so easy to control. The people of the Great Chu who know nothing about meteorology must go through a long flight if they want to make the hot air balloons like their arms and fingers.

Now there are only ten hot air balloons. When the entire sky is covered with airships in the future, can you expect the black maw to be pulled and flew?

By the fourth day, the black hair is obviously not good, and the hot air balloon is flying slowly, but it may fly day and night. The driver in the blue can take turns to eat and sleep. No matter how strong the endurance of the black hair is, it cannot compare to the hot air balloon.

That night, Renault had a new idea and added a suspension platform under the hot air balloon blue to provide a platform for rest for Black Hair and Knights.

A whimsical idea, when the hot air balloon was launched again, Renault looked proudly at the hot air balloon with black hair and the Knights hanging, and felt very happy. My buddy was Niu Pi. If you think about it casually, you will create a black hair air aircraft carrier.

No matter how slow the hot air balloon is, it is much faster than the convoy walking in the rainforest. Not only do you walk in a straight line, you don’t have to cut down the tree mat, but the speed is not slow at all. On the ground and in the sky, it is difficult for the naked eye to feel that the hot air balloon is moving, but the God of Wealth clearly told Renault that in the past ten hours, the average speed of the hot air balloon was 38 miles per hour.

Very slow? The average speed of the fleet can only reach forty miles, not every hour, but every day.

In other words, the speed of the hot air balloon and the distance of flying out in one day are equivalent to twenty days in the convoy.

In the first three days, they only flew during the day, and then they deliberately circled a few times. Even so, on the seventh day after leaving Tianyun Valley, the hot air balloon caught up with the convoy. In seven days, the hot air balloon team flew more than 5,200 miles.

After seven days of personal experience, Renault knew that the hot air balloon was a magical tool in Nanzhang and had to be made in large quantities. Ten hot air balloons, mounted on a rest platform, can transport thousands of people at one time. The conditions are a little difficult, but they can mobilize troops from a large range in a short period of time.

In addition to troop transport, the ability to transport motors is no worse than that of a pack truck. A small hot air balloon is larger than a four-drag carriage. The most important thing is that it can fly day and night without being restricted by the ground type.

If there are a thousand hot air balloons, Renault can install the entire fleet and fly directly in the sky, and go wherever you want.

The key problem now is silk. Renault needs a lot of silk. Asbestos has been solved. It has accumulated like mountains in the Tianyun Valley, with rattan hanging blue and ropes. These are not problems. The most common things in Nanzhang are these things.

"Ruan Ling, Lan Yunxi, come with me." Renault walked into the long-lost RV and sat on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had the best position on the hot air balloon, he had fewer people in the hanging basket than other hot air balloons. However, the space for hanging blue was limited and he flew in the air. His living conditions were incomparable to the RV.

The most fatal thing is to urinate and defecate. It is better to urinate. Pay attention to the wind direction and don’t urinate on yourself. It is also quite spectacular. Who knows the taste of defecation? Renault has already thought about it and will have to wear a toilet next time when the hot air balloon goes out.

After Renault drank the hot tea brought by Mo Xiang, he spoke: "You two are the most familiar with Nanzhang. We need a lot of silk now, where can we buy it?"

After thinking about it, I added: "It's okay if you can't buy it or grab it."

Of course they knew that Mr. was trying to make hot air balloons. Lan Yunxi flew back with Renault in hot air balloons. She naturally knew how convenient this thing was. It was definitely not easy to be comfortable. No matter how bad it was, it was much stronger than being on the ground.

But this is Nanzhang, my husband. Silk is usually only used as an ornament, just like a dry toast, sewing a piece on your chest, indicating that your brother is rich.

Not to mention that there are not many silks shipped here, even if they can be transported, not many people will buy them. Needless to say, the natives are even full, so what to use to buy expensive silk? Even toasts are actually unwilling to wear silk clothes.

This is different from what the people of Da Chu thought. It is not comfortable at all in the tropical rainforest like Nanzhang. The Datusi will naturally have several sets of silk clothes. They will only be taken out and worn as a dress when meeting guests or during celebrations.

Usually, even toasts are more willing to wear fine linen clothes. Silk looks good and smooth, but when you sweat all over, you will understand that silk does not absorb sweat, and when it is stuck to your body, there is only pain left.

Therefore, the entire Nanzhang, including the Nanzhang Mansion with the largest number of people in Chu, is extremely limited in the number of silk. If you want silk, the nearest one is Shunde Mansion, and the Wuyang Mansion is farther away. It is the largest seaport in Da Chu. One-third of the cargo is loaded from there to sea.

It really doesn't work. Even Dingjun City guards the golden road, and there are a large amount of silk among the goods sold by the gangs.

In Shunde Mansion, Renault called out a satellite map from the God of Wealth to lock his position. It was obvious that the distance was OK, more than 7,600 miles. If he was walking on the ground, Renault would give up, but it would be different if he flew in the sky.

When a hot air balloon is flying all day, it can ensure that it is no less than twenty-five miles per hour. It is normal to run six or seven hundred miles a day. If you encounter a suitable airflow, flying one thousand miles a day is not a big deal.

Seven thousand and six hundred miles, at most half a month is enough, one round trip a month. Although this speed is quite a scam, Renault thinks it is acceptable.

After all, he now has ten hot air balloons on hand, which can carry twenty-five tons at a time. He removes the pilots, necessary food, water, and weapons, and can transport at least fifteen tons of silk at a time.

"Shunde Mansion, buy at least fifteen tons of silk. Who wants to take this task?" Renault asked at the two women in front of him.

This feels a bit like an ancient game plot. The lord issues a task and asks his subordinates to take it. Should he make a monthly review?
