Chapter 259 Determining the number of people ([-])

Walking to the area where the craftsmen were, Qingzhu glanced at everyone and asked, "Excuse me, who checked the fuel consumption just now?"

An old craftsman standing at the front bowed to the green bamboo and said, "Medical Officer Xia, it was just checked by the little old man."

Qingzhu looked at the old craftsman, smiled at him, and asked, "Old man, may I ask how much fuel I have consumed after flying that distance?"

The old craftsman who was in charge of checking the consumption of kerosene felt a little apprehensive when he heard Qingzhu's politeness, so he hurriedly bowed and replied, "Back to Doctor Xia, there are a total of fifteen liters of kerosene stored in this stove, and four liters of kerosene were consumed earlier. Up to half."

"Okay, I got it, thank you very much." Qingzhu got the answer she wanted, without talking nonsense, nodded directly, turned around and walked towards Princess Anle again.

Walking in front of Princess Anle, Qingzhu said directly: "A furnace of [-] liters of oil, I have been flying for more than half an hour, and consumed four and a half liters. When I was flying in mid-air, I felt it myself. I feel that at that height, the things I brought before have not reached the limit of the load of the hot air balloon.”

However, for safety reasons, it is not advisable to add too much.Therefore, if you don’t bring stones, you can bring up to five people each time including me. That is to say, I can teach four people at a time. Needs to be shortened a bit. "

"Then one batch of oil is the most, and they can learn three times. In other words, I can teach twelve people with one batch of oil."

"It takes at least an hour to burn a furnace of oil before refueling. Now the days are short, and a day can take up to two rounds of people. That is to say, before the second hot air balloon is ready, I can teach 24 people a day. , When the second hot air balloon is made, at most 48 people can be taught every day, and it will take at least seven days to teach more than 200 people. In addition, they need to practice. So, I think if we can reduce some people , then try to reduce as many people as possible.”

Princess Anle nodded, and said: "That's fine, how about it? After we go back, let's ask Hao He, who is in charge of the materials? Let's make sure how much we can make. Speaking of it, both of us ignored too much There are too many things, fortunately, the father doesn't know, otherwise he must laugh at us."

"It's the first time." Qingzhu smiled and said: "Why don't you ask someone to go back and ask, and you have to wait for the cooling time, ride back on the horse, and then change the horse back. If you run back and forth, you have to wait It won't be long."

"That's fine." Princess Anle nodded and waved at her own guards.

Soon a person came over from the guard, gave a military salute, then looked at Princess Anle and said, "Please tell me, Princess Anle."

Princess Anle pointed to the cloth bag that had completely fallen on the ground, and said to the guard: "Ride your horse back now, and ask how many cloth balls we can make from the hot air balloon. If you are good, I will change the horse. Come back and report, is it clear?"

"Yes, little one understands." The guard bowed his head in response, and ran quickly to the horse that was leisurely gnawing on the little grass left by the roadside, got on the horse, and quickly rode away.

Because he had to wait for someone to come back to report, Qingzhu discussed other simultaneous training with Princess Anle, such as building some [-]-foot-tall towers, and then pulling iron chains between the towers, using pulleys and hooks, etc. The rattan basket is hung up, and people stand in the rattan basket to practice air throwing and so on.

When the discussion was almost over, the person who went back to ask questions also dared to come back. After dismounting from the horse, he ran over panting, and after a salute, he said, "I want to report to the princess, Captain Hao, who is in charge of materials, said that it can be used to make cloth balls." The cloth is not too much, plus the ones that are being made, a total of about 150 pieces can be made."

"Okay, I got it, you go down and rest." Princess Anle nodded, looked at the guard and said.

"Yes, thank you, princess." After the guard thanked him, he really went to the outside to find a place to sit down, looking really tired.

"Then let's choose three people from 160 to train, what do you think of the princess?" Qingzhu also heard what the guard said, so after the guard went down, Qingzhu looked directly at Princess Anle and said.

"Why 160 and three?" Princess Anle was a little curious when she saw that Qingzhu had accurately calculated the number of people to this point, and asked as she looked at her.

"Tomorrow the second hot air balloon should be ready. Starting tomorrow, it can take 48 people out every day, and 140 people can be brought out in three days. Today, the hot air balloon can be flown twice. After changing the oil in the afternoon , fly three more times, that’s 160 people, plus you, the princess, there are only [-] left, so I said, let’s train a total of [-] people.”

"It's too troublesome to have a few extra fractions, let's just go to 160 people, and I will get the remaining three places together." Princess Anle pulled Qingzhu, looked at her and said.

Qingzhu couldn't laugh or cry at the words of Princess Anle, and finally she could only nod her head helplessly, and said, "You are the general, you have the final say."

"Hey." Princess Anle smiled at Qingzhu, and said, then, for this candidate, shall we go back and choose again now, or what? "

"Let's choose the remaining places for today from among the people present. They have seen my test flight before, and they should have less doubts in their hearts. If they are not so nervous, it will be easier to teach." Qingzhu looked Glancing at the crowd, he said to Princess Anle.

"Alright, but I'll be the first to go up with you later." Princess Anle nodded and said to Qingzhu.

"Okay, you are the first to go up. With you as the princess general taking the lead, the morale must be even stronger." Qingzhu looked at Princess Anle with a smile and said jokingly.

"That's natural. The lord will take the lead, and of course the others can't back down." Princess Anle raised her head proudly, but it didn't take long for her to burst out laughing.

After laughing, Princess Anle straightened her face and waved at her personal guards again.

Soon, another personal guard came over, and after saluting, he asked Princess Anle to give orders.

"Tell them that Doctor Xia will take them personally to learn how to operate a hot air balloon, let them sign up voluntarily, and choose nineteen bold and light people." Princess Anle ordered to the guard .

"Yes!" The guard was stunned and answered loudly.Then he looked at Princess Anle and Qingzhu, lost his smile, and asked in a low voice: "Princess, Doctor Xia, can you count me in?"

Princess Anle gave the guard a fake look, and said, "You are half a head taller than me, do you think you can do it?"
