After circling around the balloon, Alex suddenly looked up at Renault, his eyes shining, and asked:
"Mr. Renault, so this Er "Hot air balloon" can be used for high altitude reconnaissance? "
Renault said with a smile:
"yes, Sir Alex, only equipped with hot-air balloons, any move of the enemy can''t hide from your eyes. Oh, by the way, we also specially equipped hot-air balloons with ''telescopes''..."
At this point, he looked at Gollum and said, "Gollum, go and get a telescope for Sir Alex..."
After the telescope came, Renault began to teach Alex how to use it.
Under the guidance of his hands, Alex curiously raised his telescope and aimed at a shrub more than 100 meters away. Looking through the eyepiece, the shrub seemed to be pulled 10 meters away.
Alex was startled. He put down his telescope in a hurry and looked directly at the shrubbery with his naked eye. Only then did he find that the position of the shrubbery had not changed. What he saw just now was actually the function of the telescope.
Reynolds just looked at it with a smile on his face, leaving Alex as a woodlouse, taking a telescope around and looking around.
After playing with the telescope excitedly for a while, Alex said with admiration:
"Mr. Reynolds, the telescope of your Chamber of commerce is really amazing. I''m absolutely sure that it plays a very important role in the military. With the hot air balloon and telescope, it will be very easy to detect the movement of the black Orc army."
After a pause, he said:
"but I think they also have disadvantages, that is, they can only be used in the daytime. After the earth loses the sun''s favor, it will become a dangerous thing to use hot air balloon to fly..."
"Besides, I don''t think telescopes can penetrate the dark..."
When he heard that Alex was deliberately picky, Renault was not annoyed, but the smile on his face became more obvious.
The reason is very simple. This is what people who want to buy will do.
It is because they want to buy that they will deliberately use this method to lower the price. Those who do not intend to buy will only praise them without sincerity, and then cover their wallets.
This is also one of Renault''s important purposes of using hot air balloons for publicity: to promote hot air balloons.
It''s better to let the balloon fly in the sky than to explain ten thousand words. Anyone with a little vision can think of the military use of the balloon. As the head of the Knights'' order, Alex can''t think of this.
In addition, if the deal can be concluded, there will be another benefit.
Haichao chamber of Commerce will directly connect with the knights, and the subsequent arms and armor trade will become a natural thing. As long as we seize the opportunity to show our products to Alex, this large order will never escape from his palm.
This is Renault''s plan of "three birds with one stone"!
However, Alex''s skill of pricking is deeper than Renault''s imagination. He took a step closer and said in a low voice:
"Mr. Renault, you must have heard something about the black Orc''s" magic eye ". If the hot-air balloons appear on the battlefield, they are likely to become the targets of the magic eye."
"The material of the hot air balloon is just a kind of flimsy oilcloth. Under the claws of the big birds, they may not survive for long. As for the soldiers who ride in the hot air balloon..."
Renault raised his eyebrows and couldn''t help giving Alex a big compliment.
This guy really got to the point. This is the most fatal shortcoming of hot-air balloons. That''s why Renault is willing to put hot-air balloons on the trade list.
Otherwise, can''t you use this kind of military weapon of great significance? Why sell it to irrelevant people?
Moreover, after the hot-air balloon is spread, this technology may still fall into the hands of the black orcs, but it has little impact, because in the aspect of high-altitude detection, the magic eye is obviously better than the hot-air balloon. Moreover, the performance of the hot-air balloon made with the black Orc technology is certainly far inferior to that of the sea tide collar.
Renault glanced at the balloon and said something that moved Alex.
"Mr. Alex, to be honest with you, as an extraordinary person of the wind system, I once killed a magic eye myself!"
Alex was shocked. He turned his head and looked at Renault seriously. His eyes were full of surprise. He asked solemnly:
"Mr. Renault, I''m very curious about the magic eye. Do you have any obvious appearance features of the magic eye?"
This sentence is just a trial. Obviously, Alex has some doubts about Renault''s words.
Renault faintly spits out two words:
"dwarf!"
Alex immediately believed Renault''s words, because according to some secret information he got, the body of the magic eye was very thin. Many people suspected that the magic eye was a dwarf, but they were not sure.
But Renault pointed it out directly. If Renault didn''t kill magic eye, he would never know that.
With a long sigh, Alex said solemnly:"Mr. Renault, you are a very extraordinary man!"
"As far as I know, when the Allied forces of the four countries fought against the black Orc army, the headquarters of the Allied forces once mobilized four extraordinary people of the wind system and planned several operations against the devil''s eye, but none of them succeeded..."
Renault shook his head with a smile and said:
"you''re over praised. I only seized this opportunity by chance. However, it is precisely because I have killed the magic eye that I know that the magic eye also has obvious shortcomings."
"You must know that magic eye, as a kind of weapon purely used for investigation, will never easily approach any enemy, which is also the main reason why it is difficult for human beings to kill magic eye."
Then Renault''s voice became loud.
"So I think that if the eye is willing to approach the balloon, it will give us a chance to deal with the eye!"
"We can ambush several elite crossbowmen in the basket. If the magic eye approaches, it will suddenly shoot the magic eye''s mount. As long as one crossbow hits the other side, the magic eye will surely die alive!"
"From this point of view, we can use hot air balloons to lure the devil''s eye to take the bait..."
This guy lied!
Renobi knows that magic eye will carry a jet pack. Even if his mount falls to death, magic eye will not die. At most, he will only get hurt. But he hides this important news.
This guy is a clever liar!
In order to sell the hot-air balloon, Renault has done everything possible to hide the key information, and has made the shortcomings of the hot-air balloon a great advantage!
If it''s not smooth talk, what is smooth talk?
Renault is not finished.
"Mr. Alex, I''m a businessman. I''m used to thinking about the problem from the perspective of cost. In my opinion, even if the loss ratio of hot air balloon and magic eye is as high as 5:1, that is to say, five hot air balloons will be lost and one magic eye will be killed, we will also earn money."
"Because, as long as there are enough jinnars and hot-air balloons, it''s not difficult to train crossbowmen, but the magic eye is different. A magic eye has to undergo countless training from birth to growth, and it takes at least ten years for the black orcs to cultivate a magic eye..."
Alex nodded frequently and looked more excited.
He had been fooled by Renault, and he even felt a little ashamed that he was too short-sighted to fully realize the important role of hot-air balloon.
Alex also secretly decided that in a few days, he must tell the Duke of Byron about his interests and persuade the Duke to buy a batch of hot air balloons.
The poor guy, even without asking the price, had planned to buy it.
That''s what Renault said.
First of all, he tells about killing the eye and makes himself an authority to deal with the eye. Once Alex accepts this setting, his subconscious will believe all Renault''s next words.
after all, both woodlouse and earth people have the habit of blindly believing in authority, don''t they?
If Alex really follows Renault''s method and uses hot air balloons to deal with magic eye, many innocent soldiers will be thrown into meat sauce.
But Reynolds didn''t care. Anyway, other people''s children couldn''t die.
