Chapter 408 (1/2)

The emergence of hot-air balloons was no secret from the beginning. So many textile craftsmen were busy together in sharhera square. Everyone saw it clearly, and Donne didn't intend to keep it a secret.

After guiding the dark elves and Ellington soldiers to assemble the hot-air balloon, Donne decided to try to verify the reliability of the hot-air balloon first.

Donne personally started the modified dwarf steam engine. The hot flame filled the hot air into the semi sealed hot air balloon, and the air bag gradually inflated.

”What is he doing?”

Haley asked Lola curiously. The queen must know what he was going to do.

”He's going to fly.”

”Fly with this guy? Flying? This big guy is not light.”

”No, it was this big guy called hot air balloon who took him and the pile of stones to fly.”

Lola stared at the busy Donne. The men who focus on work are always full of charming charm, not to mention the bonus of perfect blood?

”Fly with him? How is that possible!”

Haley smiled and said, ”unless that thing has levitation or flying.”

After the airbag inflated slowly, Donne was very satisfied to find that the weaving skills of the dark elf textile craftsmen were very perfect, and there was basically no air leakage - of course, the air leakage of the sewn airbag was normal, but as long as the supplement speed was fast enough, it was not a big problem.

”Give way.”

When Donne saw that the air bag was almost ready, he jumped into the hanging basket. The hanging basket had been filled with many stones used as counterweight, which was also a substitute for magic iron bomb.

The curious adventurers dispersed. As the hot air gradually gushed, the hot-air balloon began to shake.

”Wait! What do I see? That, that thing is floating!?”

An adventurer wiped his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

”Oh, my God! There are so many stones in it and it flies! Is this thing really useless?”

The adventurers exclaimed.

”It's illogical to fly without magic!”

Don can't laugh or cry. Is it logical for a hot-air balloon to fly without magic?

Montgomery Kahn looked stunned: ”how could this be possible! There must be some magic array on it? Are those stones floating stones?”

Cao shook his head and said with a shocked face, ”how is it possible that if there are so many floating stones, he still needs to come here?”

Pumice is a special ore collected from the floating island. According to prandal's records, there are pumice deep underground, but no one has seen it since the underground world was isolated from the surface world.

The reason why pumice is so valuable is that magicians with flying ability and high-level apocalypses are unwilling to be miners.

High level apocalypses, such as extraordinary soldiers, have the ability to stay in the air for a short time and can also reach the floating island, but their strength is really up to their point. A large number of people are willing to scramble to send money to them, and they don't need to dig floating stones to make money.

Who is willing to mine with that strength? Only some mages will get some back when they go to the floating island to do experiments.

In addition, the city of silver has restrictions on magicians, so the output of pumice stone is very small, and the price of a small amount of pumice stone circulating in the market is very expensive.

Pumice stone has mysterious power and can be suspended in the air, just like constant levitation. Great nobles in many countries like to decorate their luxury houses with this special ore, and some will inlay a small amount of pumice stone on the carriage to reduce the load of the carriage and make the carriage run faster

what? You said to float the whole carriage?

Believe me, they must have had this idea, but there are few people in prandal who can be extravagant to that extent.

Ursa suddenly said, ”look, it's really flying!”

Isn't it? The huge hot-air balloon swelled and swayed for a moment, then it floated with the hanging basket, and the rope that bound the hot-air balloon gradually rose. Then it tightened and fixed it in place, so as not to float disorderly.

”It took nearly five minutes to inflate and fly. The efficiency is very good.”

Donne muttered and jumped. The hanging basket just shook. There was no violent tremor, and the stability was quite good.

After looking at the tilt angle, Donne put some rope, tried to adjust the direction of the hot-air balloon with a turbofan, and soon mastered the skill.

To put it bluntly, the air flow blown by the turbine fan pushes the hot-air balloon forward in reverse - of course, because it is connected with the balloon body by a rope, the thrust cannot be too large, otherwise the hanging basket will roll over, but this convenient adjustment method is at least easy to master.

With everyone watching, don tested the performance of the hot-air balloon in all aspects, slowed down the jet speed, and after a while, the hot-air balloon landed again.

Lola came up and said, ”great! I really don't feel the fluctuation of magic! Is this what you call the effect of 'physics'?”

”Er...”

Donne said with a wry smile, ”that's what you think.”
