Chapter 142 Watershed
However, after Zhang Jingyuan came back, he directly threw the depression aside. In fact, Zhang Jingyuan would not think that a few small people for their own interests would have any impact on the expert company.
This is not arrogance, but self-confidence! After returning for 50 years, energy companies are the absolute boss. Don’t look at the high profits of securities capital or other companies, and the Internet industry is booming, but even if you are rich, these fields cannot have any impact on the development of the country. Without you, there are people who do it!
But energy companies are different, and they directly control the lifeline of the country! Don’t you support me? Well, I will cut off energy supply directly, or reduce, raise prices, etc.; therefore, energy companies have a very high social status. Of course, the premise is that they must be huge enough and have sufficient foundation.
Nowadays, aerospace companies are gradually replacing the status of energy companies. With the development of science and the widespread use of nuclear energy, especially in some countries, which have begun lunar mining, a large amount of nuclear material is continuously transported to nuclear power plants on the earth, and the original energy companies are collapsing rapidly.
And along with this market and position, aerospace companies are replacing this market and position!
Nowadays, experts don’t think that the funds are tight, and there are not even a few finished products in aerospace; but the technical strength is here, how dare you restrict me? Believe it or not, I will take counter-restrictive measures! Don’t think you are a national department, but it’s the same as the so-called big bullying of shops. It’s right that you are a country, but I don’t want to miss you, what else can you do!!!
Previously, the expert company paid too much for development, but now it is time to enjoy success. If you encounter this situation before, and see that there is still profitable, Zhang Jingyuan would grit his teeth and agree even if he feels uncomfortable; but now, huh, we can still play with you after leaving you; and if you leave the expert company, you want to launch these 500 tons of materials into space, the direct cost is 1,000-120 billion yuan, which is not a large amount of hidden costs. For example, the use of artificial equipment, the control of environmental pollution, and the adjustment of relevant policies; more importantly, each launch affects a large number of resources, and if these resources are applied in scientific research or people's livelihood, it will greatly improve the situation in other fields.
During the same period of time, social resources are limited, so if you use them too much, there will inevitably be fewer other places! This is a dead knot that cannot be untied. Therefore, if the country chooses to let expert companies transport these materials, it can save a lot of hidden costs from the national perspective alone. In fact, there is such a saying in the field of aerospace: hidden costs > explicit costs!
Therefore, after discovering the problem, Zhang Jingyuan directly turned his head away! The expert company is not short of your bad customers! Moreover, Zhang Jingyuan even vaguely told Cheng Feng, who was contacted by the emergency phone, that the expert company is conducting the final inspection and testing of the aircraft, and it is expected that the expert company will be able to sail in 3 days and 5 days at the latest.
The maximum thrust of the aircraft of the Master Company is 150 tons and the self-weight of the aircraft is 25 tons. Because the main destination of the aircraft is space, the thrust-weight ratio in the atmosphere has lost its meaning; the thrust-weight ratio in space can only be less than 1, unlike in the atmosphere, some aircraft with perfect design can reach 13 times or even more thrust-weight ratio.
Because although the aircraft has three engines, one of them is a backup property, just in case; after all, space is too dangerous and too far, and once it crashes, it can basically be declared dead under current conditions. Therefore, the weight of the safe carrying materials of the aircraft is less than 75 tons, and the aircraft's own weight is 25 tons, which is exactly the maximum power of the two engines. Moreover, when taking off on the ground, it can have some thrust-weight ratio from the air buoyancy; and when the air at high altitude is thin, the gravity is also beginning to decrease. Basically, according to calculations, it is enough for the engine to maintain a power of 97-98% during this process.
Seeing that the 2047 of the Gregorian calendar has arrived, and China’s own lunar calendar Spring Festival has not been long, the expert company has decided to officially take off the Flying Aircraft for space tourism. Of course, it is also necessary to take this opportunity to gain the reputation of the expert company and take the opportunity to make money.
The price of 1.5 billion Huaxia coins per person per day has already been booked for air tickets with a load of 16 people (except for two pilots). Because the Flying Aircraft should be as wide and comfortable as possible, the length of the aircraft is 25 meters, with a weight of 30 tons, and two S02 models of engines with a thrust of 110 tons; a safe load capacity of 60 tons (considering personal safety, the digital test is somewhat conservative). The aircraft is loaded with about 10 tons of safety supplies and diet, etc.; the remaining weight is 50 tons, and the average weight is 16 people, and each person can carry 3.125 tons (including itself).
But of course, it is not true that those who engage in transportation cannot do so; therefore, the expert company stipulates that the standard weight of 150 kilograms is charged 10,000 yuan per kilogram for those with a standard weight of 150 kilograms. However, generally speaking, few people with a weight of more than 150 kilograms, or even those with a weight of more than 100 kilograms will refuse, or ask the other party to sign a strict treaty: the expert company does not bear any responsibility for death caused by changes in the space environment. Space travel is not about playing house, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of life; especially some hypertensive patients who have not exercised, they are simply dancing in front of the god of death.
On January 11, 2047, the second weekend of the New Year (whether there is no investigation on the weekend, let’s wait O(∩_∩)O Haha~), the expert company decided to officially launch; the 16 rich people from all over the country were so excited that they were ducks. Although they were all successful bosses, they still had an uncontrollable excitement in the face of such things as space tourism. This should be the first time in the world that ordinary people have publicly faced with ordinary people.
The expert companies also took advantage of this opportunity to promote their full publicity. Of course, more importantly, on weekends, everyone has time to pay attention. In fact, although China has developed now, people's living standards have improved significantly; however, with the development of space competition in recent years, work is not easy, a large number of social resources have been concentrated in a small number of aerospace departments, and a large number of talents have been drawn, so ordinary people are still under great pressure to work.
In fact, it was just like the United States landed on the moon, and 500 million people around the world watched the live broadcast; but now, facing the first space travel open to ordinary people, more people are paying attention to it. Moreover, because the network is developed, almost 90% of people around the world are connected to the internal network of expert companies at this time and this point; the network IP instantly reaches more than 7 billion!
At the scene, countless reporters have taken photos. The location is the newly renovated flight base of the Master Company on the beach.
The reason why the world pays attention to this is because there is a clear watershed in technological development: civilian use!
Many people don’t understand why civilian use becomes a watershed? Because technology can be used in civil use means it has matured and the cost is low enough, indicating that new technologies will begin to develop explosively. Hiding rich in the people is the truth recognized by the world now; so how to concentrate these wealth? Stock markets and the like can only be considered as edges; what is really effective is investment! Just like the explosive development of the Internet at the beginning.
Therefore, this takeoff of the expert company seems to be just an advancement in aerospace technology, but it is a watershed. Aerospace technology has truly entered a watershed of a big explosion!
