Chapter 488 Don’t be afraid, I bought accident insurance for you

After Lin You sent his response, he did not go home immediately. Instead, after eating, he came again to the racing track where he had previously tested the biplane.

It has been two full weeks since he first placed the order.

Thanks to Lin You's ability to "add money", the airship was completely assembled today.

He came to the scene just to witness the first takeoff test of the airship.

Many people who knew about this project also came over to watch the excitement - not just Yunmeng employees, but also many netizens and anchors.

After Lin You flew a plane live last time, someone quickly recognized the location of the test flight. On the same day, some netizens who lived nearby came over to watch the fun.

However, when they arrived, Lin You had already finished vomiting and switched to playing tanks, causing them to miss.

But starting yesterday, a huge airbag slowly expanded in the open racing track. It was extremely eye-catching. The round white color of the airbag could be seen from several kilometers away.

Countless netizens came to hear the news again.

This racing track originally did not have high walls, but fences and anti-collision walls were used to encircle a large area.

Normally no one else comes here except racing drivers.

This time, the appearance of the airship ushered in a rare lively scene.

In the production of the airship, Lin You did not use the technology of a hundred years ago at all.

On the contrary, he piled a lot of advanced technology into it in one go.

Whether it is the airbag material, the airship hull, the pod, the engine inside the pod, or the electronic control device of the steering wheel, all are made of the most advanced materials and technologies possible.

Needless to say, completely non-flammable inert gas is a must.

Hydrogen, which can easily ignite and cause explosions, was never considered from the beginning.

Taking a lesson from the Hindenburg crash, not only the gas needs to be replaced, but engine static electricity and sparks must also be prevented in advance.

Moreover, the four powerful engines are not only safer than the engines used by the Hindenburg in history, but their power and performance are also completely different - after all, nearly a hundred years have passed.

The original 16 giant airbags inside the Hindenburg were directly expanded to 25 by Lin You.

Not only is it larger in size, becoming a super giant with a body length of more than 300 meters, the lifting force can also reach 150 tons. In addition, light and strong carbon fiber materials are widely used, and the theoretical passenger capacity has also been significantly increased.

As long as he doesn't go to the battlefield, this guy is an out-and-out behemoth!

Today, when this expensive big toy was finally ready and floating on the ground half a person's height above the ground, countless people watching the excitement had already gathered within a few hundred meters.

Seeing such a huge thing suddenly at a close distance can even make people suffer from macrophobia.

But at the same time, humans naturally have a fanatical pursuit of behemoths.

Not only were the onlookers not afraid, but as the news spread, more and more people gathered!

During the previous live broadcast, Lin You said that 40 people would be selected to participate in the [Sky Player Gathering]. Everyone was just happy because of the novelty and the fact that they were face to face with Lin You.

But now, standing in front of this behemoth, even the burliest person is as small as an ant.

A Boeing 737 passenger plane is only more than thirty meters.

Imagine how spectacular it would be to have a giant aircraft as big as 10 Boeing 737 passenger planes?

Since yesterday, many anchors have come here to set up their mobile phones and start broadcasting the changes in the shape of the airship.

Almost everyone's live broadcast room has a large number of viewers gathered to watch the fun.

At the back, the audience watching through the live broadcast lens could not even see the full view of the airship because the anchor was too close!

It is only now that the 40 lucky winners finally fully understand what an awesome grand prize they have won!

Everyone was so excited that they forgot everything.

If it weren't for Lin You's live broadcast room not being able to give out gifts, these people would have rushed over to buy gifts!

Soon, the first takeoff test of the airship began.

Of course, Lin You could only stay on the ground and watch.

Before the security test is completed, neither he nor the winning players he invited can even think of getting in.

Thanks to the advancement of technology and the fact that Lin You is not that showy and does not plan to hire so many chefs, waiters, etc., this airship only requires 10 people to complete all operations.

Of course, support personnel on the ground are not included.

During the first test flight, these 10 people were streamlined again, and in the end only 5 people boarded the airship.

When boarding the boat, they also carried parachutes on their backs to ensure nothing went wrong.

In fact, with the current safety level of the airship, it is really unlikely that anything will happen. Even if an accident does occur and one or two airbags explode, the remaining airbags will be enough for the airship to slowly descend.

This is much safer than challenging ultra-low altitude skydiving...

However, Lin You did not express his opinions blindly. He sat obediently and watched the professionals work. He even opened the live broadcast room for players to watch the fun.

The audience saw the testers wearing backpacks and curiously asked what they were.

Lin You replied calmly: "Parachute bag."

Immediately, a series of question marks popped up in the live broadcast room:

"What do you mean? Could the airship fall down?"

"Holy shit, do you need to be able to skydive to participate in a player gathering?"

"It looks really crispy. The skin is thin and the filling is big. Isn't it fried?"

…

Players were talking a lot.

In the footage, this huge airship finally completed the safety inspection process before taking off, loosened the cable fixed to the ground, and began to slowly rise.

Lin You then took the time to explain to everyone——

"It won't explode. The inert gas helium is used in the air bag does not react with oxygen. It will not ignite at all, let alone explode."

"The material of the air bag is also flame retardant, so you can rest assured."

"As for falling...even if a few airbags are exploded, it will slowly fall."

"Just in case, I will arrange a rescue plane in advance on the day of the party, so everyone can rest assured."

"Oh, yes, just in case anyone is still worried, before boarding the boat, I will also prepare a large personal accident insurance for everyone, so that everyone does not have to worry."

As soon as the last sentence was spoken, the live broadcast room once again became quarrelsome——

“Personal accident insurance is pretty good!”

"Shivering."

"By the way, did you buy it for yourself?"

"The first time in history that we need to risk our lives to participate in a player gathering?"

"Why not have this party in the virtual world? Isn't it safer?"

…

Lin You wanted to say, "This is actually very safe, and the probability of an accident is lower than if you encountered a car accident while crossing the road." However, he had no data to support this...

I was so suffocated that I could only raise my head speechlessly and stare at the huge airship flying higher and higher.

But the discussion in the live broadcast room did not end, but intensified.

On one side was a group of people shouting and fanatically wanting to board the airship and experience this extremely rare flying experience.

On the other side was a group of people who had not won the prize at all and had no hope of boarding the airship. They were passionately discussing whether this thing was safe and what to do if something happened.

The result of this argument was that a barrage suddenly appeared——

[Small Madoka: Forget it, I won’t go, I’ll give my place to my friends who want to go.]

Xiao Meng immediately highlighted this barrage to let Lin You notice it.

Xiaomeng did this because the audience who posted this barrage was one of the 40 viewers who won the prize in the last live broadcast lottery.

The barrage she posted is naturally different from other people's jokes. It seems that she is really afraid of death and wants to give up this sky party.

"Do you really want to give up? This is really not dangerous, they are scared." Lin You comforted.

But Xiao Xiaoyuan still refused: [Sorry, I'm still...a little scared.]

Lin You sighed, "Okay, I understand. But there is no need to apologize for this. Some people are afraid of bugs, some are afraid of tigers, some are afraid of secrets, and some are afraid of heights. It's all normal."

Before Lin You finished sighing, the audience in the live broadcast room became excited:

"One more round! Open and close."

"I will definitely win this time!"

"Lady Luck protects me!!"
