Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 163 Ranch scenery!

Of course, in addition to the operator and safety officer, there are only Makarov and his assistants, as well as Wang Lu, Parker, and Lao Wei in this sightseeing hot air balloon. It is very spacious.

Wang Lu also knew through conversation that the operator and safety officer of this sightseeing hot air balloon need to obtain a professional pilot license!
“Our operators have all received special training in the UK before they can take up the job, so there is no need to worry about professionalism!”

Makarov said proudly while standing in the slowly rising hot air balloon.

"Mr. Wang, if the number of visitors to your ranch is sufficient, we will dispatch more hot air balloons to serve you in the future!"

Wang Lu watched the ground gradually move away from him and nodded. He was quite confident in the ranch's tourism project.

"Believe me, Makarov, one sightseeing hot air balloon is definitely not enough! We will have many opportunities to interact in the future!"

“It looks like you are very confident in your ranch and I hope it goes as you wish!”

Makarov also responded with a smile. After all, the more tourists there are at Wanglu Ranch, it is also a good thing for their hot air balloon operating company, and they can also make more profits.

As the hot air balloon gradually takes off, the operator controls the hot air balloon to hover at a certain height, and then the hot air balloon begins to move laterally involuntarily.

There were also employees from the hot air balloon operating company driving to keep up with them. At the same time, the veterans under Wang Lu also drove along to ensure that the hot air balloon Wang Lu was riding was always within their sight.

"This thing doesn't even have a rudder, so how can it just go wherever it wants?"

Parker and Wei were both professional soldiers. They had no fear at all even when they were at high altitudes. For them, this height was just a trivial matter. When they were in the army, skydiving was more thrilling than this. Wang Lu was the only one. Just like a country bumpkin going into town, he would look here and there and ask a few questions.

"In fact, a hot air balloon cannot freely control its sailing direction like other aircraft. Its ability to fly sideways depends entirely on the wind!"

Makarov also smiled and explained to Wang Lu.

"Under completely windless conditions, all the sightseeing hot air balloons can do is simply rise and fall, but this situation is very rare. Generally speaking, the wind directions at different heights are different. Our operators will follow the instructions of the safety personnel. The guidance informs the wind direction at different heights at the same time to determine the height at which the hot air balloon should hover, and at the same time uses the airflow within that height to push the hot air balloon to sail in a certain direction!"

Obviously, Parker and Wei were not surprised by this at all, but for Wang Lu, this was a completely blind area of ​​knowledge.

"Therefore, there are certain restrictions on the sailing of sightseeing hot air balloons. They cannot operate during those seasons when the wind is too strong. In that case, the hot air balloons can easily get out of control!"

Makarov continued to add that Wang Lu finally figured out the operating principle of this thing. Sure enough, when the hot air balloon under him needed to turn after crossing the Woulu Mountains, the operator controlled the hot air balloon to rise to a certain height. , and then successfully turned using the force of the wind.

Wang Lu carefully admired the vast pasture that belonged to him below. He had to say that it was really unique to look down from high in the sky, and he felt very comfortable.

The wild animals that were moving and foraging on the grassland below had all shrunk several times in size, but it was still possible to tell which species they belonged to.Running antelopes, African elephants playing and drinking water by the Dome River, black rhinoceros far away, long-tailed monkeys jumping up and down in the tropical rain forest and looking at the sky, and baboons passing by in groups, waiting for opportunities. The moving hyena...

When he passed through the Woulu Mountains earlier, Wang Lu also saw a large number of birds on a mountaintop that were frightened by hot air balloons and soared into the sky. It looked like there should be a large bird population, and there were quite a lot of them!
Everything looks so beautiful.

And soon, familiar figures appeared again near the sightseeing hot air balloon, and those snake vultures once again flew around, which surprised Makarov on the side.

Wang Lu was also very pleased with the recognition of these snake vultures, and then he took out the dried meat prepared before boarding the hot air balloon from his pocket.

These dried meats are torn from the dried Red River wild boar meat, and are all torn into strips for easy eating.

Last time, Makarov mentioned that if these snake vultures could accompany hot air balloons, it would be a novel experience for tourists, and Wang Lu took it to heart.

Now, as expected, these snake vultures started flying with them again. Wang Lu casually threw the dried meat into the air one by one. Then the largest snake vulture swooped down and accurately caught the falling one. Dried meat and swallowed it.

The other snake vultures also followed the same method. With the supplement of food, the enthusiasm of these snake vultures seemed to be getting higher and higher, and they would even circle the hot air balloon twice from time to time!
What Wang Lu wants is this effect, leaving a psychological hint to these snake vultures that they may get food as long as they fly with them. If things go on like this, won't this be training?

Although we have never trained birds, we have raised dogs in the countryside...

And in the future, those tourists who spend money on hot air balloon tours may be able to sell some dried meat or something to feed these snake vultures. I believe those tourists will be very happy to pay for it. This is also an income, isn't it?
No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat!
Parker on the side gave a thumbs up after hearing Wang Lu's plan!

"Boss, I finally understand why you are the boss, and I am just a damn tour guide. You are so smart!"

Wang Lu didn't care whether this guy was praising or scolding himself, he just smiled and continued to enjoy the scenery of the ranch.

In addition to the wild animals he had seen before, Wang Lu also saw many wild animals that had recently appeared on the ranch.

For example, in the lower reaches of the Dome River, Wang Lu discovered a lot of big guys in the river, hippos!

These guys hide their bodies in the water, with only one head exposed, and they look so naive.

There are also ostriches running freely on the grassland with two long legs. Wang Lu had only seen this thing on TV programs before, but he did not expect that it would also appear in his pasture.

"Boss, these are red-necked ostriches from the local grassland. It seems that our pasture is attracting more and more wild animals!"

Parker also said seriously that this means that the ecological environment of the ranch is enough to attract many wild animals. After all, there is the Dome River, a vital water source on the grassland.
