1227. Hot air balloon flying (7/10)
While having dinner, Qin Shiou asked: "You guys, do we want to broadcast campaign advertisements to the TV station?"
Winnie and Auerbach looked at him in shock.
Qin Shiou said his thoughts: "We can do public service advertisements, let Winnie be the protagonist, protect the fishing grounds, protect the ecology, protect children, etc., what do you think?"
"Do you want Winnie to participate in the next mayoral election?" Auerbach said.
Qin Shiou said: "Of course not, just be the mayor."
Auerbach wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "Okay, then you don't have to worry about it. If you do the rest of me and I, I will be OK."
The old lawyer's words hurt Qin Shiou's heart. What does it mean? Can I ignore my wife's election in the mayor? Besides, who cares if I don't care?
After dinner, Qin Shiou dragged Diao Ge Diao Mei to the sofa with a serious face.
The two little guys have lived a happy life these days. They go to find a place to sleep after eating and drinking. This will make them a habit. They eat and drink again tonight. They want to go back to their nests to sleep, but Qin Shiou took them over and had to yawn in dissatisfaction.
Qin Shiou looked at the little guys with a serious expression, and then he said, "The campaign is about to begin. Winnie and Dad O's not paying much attention to this campaign. They underestimate their opponents, right?"
Diao Ge continued to yawn, rolling his eyes and trying to find a place to run back to the soft nest.
Their attitude made Qin Shiou very dissatisfied. What is the difference between this and Winnie and Auerbach's attitude towards elections? He can't deal with Winnie and Auerbach, and he can't deal with these two little boys?
Turning around and finding his daughter who was running around the ground, Qin Shiou took her to the Diao Ge Diao Mei, and instigated him: "Go. Melons, play with them!"
Diao Ge Diao Mei had never seen the power of the little melons. They took it lightly, and were hugged by the little melons and then put it into their mouths.
This scared the brother and sister. Damn, is this really going to be eaten? Help, it’s easy to discuss if you have something to do, don’t use the nuclear weapon to eat them at any time!
Qin Shiou solved them, and now Diao Ge is honest and leans down in front of him with his eyebrows down. Whatever he says is what he says.
After teasing the two tender little guys for a while, Qin Shiou let them go to bed. He held the iPad and started looking for weapons to help him.
Hamre participated in the election before. Although Qin Shiou did not have the whole experience, he was still involved in it. He still understood some of the campaign methods.
Now that a large-scale graphic method has been used, we need to focus on the attack next time. Qin Shiou thought about it, the town is just that, and it is really not suitable to advertise on TV stations, so buy a hot air balloon and rise directly above the town so that anyone can see it.
He searched online. The recent hot air balloon manufacturer was in Montreal. According to the introduction, it was imported from Türkiye and the quality was very reliable.
Hot air balloons are mainly divided into four types: aa type, ax type, am type, and as type.
Among them, the AA type is filled with gases lighter than air, such as hydrogen or helium, and the airbag is not closed and there is no heating device; the AX type is filled with airbags, and the air is heated by the device to make it lighter and gain lift. It is also called a hot air balloon; the A type is filled with both "light air" and a balloon with heating device; the As type is specially filled with "light air" and the airbag is closed. Since the height can be controlled by the inflation amount, it is often used for scientific research.
Among the four types of balloons, Qin Shiou is most optimistic about am-type hot air balloons. The reason is that this balloon is the most expensive under the same specifications. The most expensive thing may not be the best, but it must be better than the ones with lower prices.
The am-type balloon is also called Roze Hot Air Balloon. It was invented by Roze, a French physicist in the 18th century and pioneer of hot air balloon flight. It was also named after him. However, in the 1990s, hot air balloon expert Cameron improved it. The technology of this hot air balloon is now very mature.
The Roze hot air balloon uses two-layer airbags, and the airbag inside is a helium balloon. The two-layer airbags are filled with air, and a burner is placed below.
In this way, the helium airbag can maintain a certain buoyancy during flight. In addition, the sunlight can be used to heat the air between the two airbags during the day to generate buoyancy, and then turn on the burner to heat the air at night.
The hot air balloon that Qin Shiou wanted to buy is the am-7 type hot air balloon, the specific code is 'Architecture F2 generation am hot air balloon'. It is not like ordinary hot air balloons. People ride in a large basket. This hot air balloon has a pressure bin with excellent sealing performance. The material of the pressure bin is tempered glass, which is indestructible and has excellent transparency.
What attracts him is not how luxurious this hot air balloon is, but the fact that the "Arc's" series of hot air balloons are very good in safety and have double guarantees. If there is a leakage of helium during flight, the hot air balloon can become a traditional hot air balloon, which completely relies on heating to maintain its height.
If the leakage is increased and the height cannot be maintained, the balloon will act as a parachute and control the descent speed to within 5 meters per second. If the situation continues to deteriorate, with just one operation, the pressure chamber can be removed from the hot air balloon, ensuring the user's life safety to the greatest extent.
Qin Shiou said that during repeated round-the-world flights, this kind of hot air balloon had only two accidents, namely December 1998 and March 2009, and there were no casualties and high reliability.
After reading the introduction for a while, after learning a lot about the hot air balloon, he found that this thing is like a computer, and it can be assembled. You can buy balloons, hanging baskets, safety compartments, burners, fuel systems, tethering systems, blowers, etc. As long as you are not afraid of death, do whatever you want.
Qin Shiou naturally didn't assemble it himself. It was not because he was afraid of death, but because he didn't understand. He just looked at the Archangel F2 generation Roze hot air balloons. The whole set was priced at 158,000 Canadian dollars, which was the most expensive among the same hot air balloons.
Ordinary AX-type hot air balloons are generally priced between 10,000 Canadian dollars and 50,000 Canadian dollars. Roze hot air balloons are the most expensive because their functions are mainly for global travel. For example, the "Budweiser" Beer and Beverage Company holds a hot air balloon global flight competition called the Budweiser Cup every year, and the contestants use this kind of hot air balloon.
The hot air balloon production company in Montreal has a cooperative relationship with Budweiser. Qin Shiou bought a hot air balloon and automatically qualified for this year, which means he needs to complete the global competition before December 31 this year.
After placing an order, someone immediately called Qin Shiou and introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Qin, I am Johnson Eric, the account manager of Archangel Hot Air Balloon Sports Co., Ltd., have you ordered an Archangel F2 generation am hot air balloon? Do you have any questions or requirements?"
Qin Shiou said: "I have no questions, but I ask for one to be delivered as soon as possible!"
Johnson Eric was silent for a moment, probably calculating the time, and then said, "It will be delivered at around 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Can you see this time?"
"Yes!" This speed is fast enough.
After ordering the hot air balloon, Qin Shiou thought about it and immediately called the largest printing factory in St. Johns and asked them to make a super long banner, which was faster. He asked how long it would take to make it. The other party told him that as long as the money was in place, he could drive it out in an hour! (To be continued)
