Genius of the Rules-Style System

From the outside, the sightseeing boat looks like a UFO.

Many people who saw the sightseeing boat for the first time were amazed from the bottom of their hearts. They were very surprised and should not think of "alien".

"Perhaps the latest technology today is originally alien technology?"

"In other words, the technology of the universe is universal, so the spacecraft produced is very similar to UFOs."

"Did Academician Zhao obtain alien technology?"

"It's possible!"

"This may be just a coincidence, or a deliberate coincidence." An employee from the Yixing Technology Department explained, "Academician Zhao designed the spacecraft as a reference for the UFO model."

"So that's it!"

"I just said how could it be so similar! Think about it, anti-gravity technology does require a circular structure, so it is normal for the built ship to be similar to a UFO."

"Yes, yes."

When Zhao Yi heard similar remarks, he just smiled indifferently and would not express his views on related issues.

In fact, as explained by Yixing employees, he did design the sightseeing boat based on the shape of a UFO.

As for whether UFOs exist, he prefers not to exist, mainly because he has never seen a real UFO.

Like others, he also pays attention to the news about aliens and has seen many photos and even videos of UFOs.

However, using the "Law of Causality" we can directly conclude that what we saw was not an alien spacecraft.

If aliens really exist, it would be normal to have so-called UFOs, anti-gravity spacecraft, thrusters, etc., which are similar to UFOs. .

This is mainly because circles are the most common structure in the universe.

Whether it is a planet or various fluctuations, most of them are circular structures.

Therefore, the circular structure of the built spaceship is the most normal.

soon.

Zhao Yi met with senior leaders.

Senior leaders are specifically responsible for the development of the latest technology. Yixing is a normally operating company and is also a domestic company. Related technology development also represents domestic technology development, and leaders must be concerned about it.

In addition, Yixing's small spacecraft manufacturing is directly related to the spacecraft project.

So senior leaders also came to watch the test. After seeing the sightseeing boat, he expressed the same emotion as others, and immediately asked about the test plan and progress of the sightseeing boat.

Zhao Yi said seriously, "This is the first sightseeing boat. It needs to be tested six times before it is actually operated, delivered or sold."

"Our original plan was to do it seven times, but it turned out seven times didn't make sense."

"This is the second test. There will be two astronauts operating the spacecraft. Each passenger compartment will carry a small animal, experimental equipment, etc., so that the spacecraft can reach a certain weight standard."

"There will only be two astronauts in the third test, but there will be passengers in the fourth test. But it will not be officially operated, but some technical employees of our company will go up."

"These include evaluators who specialize in comfort testing of the spacecraft, as well as several technical engineers who will inspect and evaluate the internal conditions."

"When the last test, which is the sixth test, there will actually be passengers on it, and I will also experience it when the time comes."

Zhao Yi said with some expectation, "Whether it is an anti-gravity thruster, a space station, or any other space ship, I have never been on it once, but this time I decided to give it a try, and Xiao Xiao and I Qing agreed, let’s go together.”

The senior leaders sounded worried and asked, "Is it dangerous? Is this too risky?" Compared with the test of a sightseeing boat, Zhao Yi is a thousand or ten thousand times more important.

If something dangerous happens in space, life will be directly and seriously threatened, and it may even be impossible to survive.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "I believe in the power of the space agency and the military."

This sentence refers to being free from man-made dangers.

China now has absolute dominance in the field of space and space, and its monitoring range covers all areas below 400 kilometers.

When an object exceeding one meter rises to an altitude of 500 meters, it will be detected in all directions. The satellite and ground base station will be directly locked, and the monitoring system will automatically analyze whether there is any danger.

If it is uncertain or dangerous, the monitoring system will prompt for manual review.

There are hundreds or more than a thousand personnel who are always watching the detection system and will directly use weapons to destroy it if it is in danger. They also have the right to quickly call Z-wave satellite devices in space.

This space detection power is the most important security guarantee.

Zhao Yi continued, "As for the spacecraft itself, it has been tested five times and there is no danger. Moreover, we have developed the latest large spacesuit and a temporary emergency warehouse that can withstand explosions, radiation, etc. Inside The oxygen and food reserves are enough for a person to survive in space for a week."

"If an accident really happens, I think one week is enough for rescue, right?"

The senior leaders nodded as they listened.

In the past, when there were no anti-gravity spacecraft, it was impossible to rescue astronauts drifting in space, or even to lock in position. Compared to space, astronauts were too small.

It's different now.

Because of the space detection system, as long as it can be linked to the signal sent by the space suit, the astronaut's position can be locked, and then an anti-gravity spacecraft can be sent to slowly approach and rescue.

The senior leader thought about it carefully and couldn't help but feel very excited for a moment. He said last time that he hoped to go to space and experience it in his lifetime.

Now Zhao Yi is ready to go, and he is very excited to give it a try.

Compared to Zhao Yi's importance, his safety seems to be nothing!

The senior leader suddenly said with some anticipation, "When you wait for the sixth test, you must tell me in advance. I will arrange the affairs at hand and maybe give it a try."

"you?"

"What's wrong?"

"——Okay!" Zhao Yi thought about it carefully and realized that there was indeed no danger. He had the guts to go to space to take a look, and there was nothing wrong with senior leaders going up there.

For the second test of the sightseeing boat, representatives from many companies were invited.

Two days before the test, many people came to the space agency's launch base.

Some of them are representatives of Yixing's cooperative companies, some are researchers from various institutions, and some are representatives of foreign companies and institutions. The latter are even more numerous than the first two.

This is mainly because some foreign companies and institutions not only sent representatives, but even sent a team.

They were received into the ‘Mission Exhibition Hall’.

There are dedicated staff in the mission exhibition hall to explain to them the second test of the sightseeing boat and some parameters and performance of the sightseeing boat.

"The diameter of our sightseeing boat is about 37, so it is a really big guy."

"As you can see, the glass windows have two layers, and the interior passenger part does have two layers. There are a total of 150 rooms and 274 beds on the ship, which can theoretically accommodate up to 300 passengers."

"There is also a fitness room, restaurant and activity hall inside the sightseeing ship."

"To use an analogy, a sightseeing ship is like a cruise ship on the sea."

"In this test mission, the lightship will take two hours to go to space, and then it will circle the space for about three weeks. On average, it will take about six hours per week, and then it will return."

"It takes a total of four hours from return to landing."

"The mission will take a total of 24 hours."

Many people were shocked when they heard the parameters of the sightseeing boat.

The most important parameter is the number of passengers loaded. From the outside, the sightseeing ship has many glass windows, but it is difficult to say how many passengers it can carry.

The Space Exploration Technology Company also has a project to carry people to space for sightseeing, and is ready to start manufacturing corresponding spacecraft. However, according to the data they released, the maximum number of people the spacecraft can carry is fifty.

Fifty people is still a theoretical figure.

Even the data of only 50 people is already surprising.

This is a manned space mission. It can hold fifty passengers in one breath, which is already very impressive.

Yixing's sightseeing boat even carries 300 people, which is a bit incredible. When you see the size of the sightseeing boat, it is understandable to a certain extent.

In addition, it is certain that Yixing has higher and more reliable anti-gravity technology. The spaceships they manufacture consume relatively much less energy. This is why they can create spaceships with a very high number of people.

At the same time, Yixing’s manager was also reporting detailed parameters to Zhao Yi——

"The manufacturing of this sightseeing boat cost 1.93 billion, and we still need to pay 210 million in patent fees and service fees."

"In addition, there are also expenses for the space agency including maintenance, personnel, etc."

"So far, the cost has been around 2.2 billion."

The cost of the sightseeing ship is lower than expected, because it is the first spacecraft built, and the planned expenditure is about 2.5 billion.

The manager continued his report, "Our test requires fuel costs of between 2.8 million and 3.5 million each time."

"Returning to the ground for inspection and maintenance. There is no major damage. The maintenance cost is between 600 and 7 million."

Next, there are a lot of cost and expense reports.

Zhao Yi listened patiently and was not surprised by the amount of money spent.

The tour group being built now is only the initial technical version. Most of the main expenditure is on core technical components, electronic systems, compressed materials, etc., while the passenger rooms, facilities, etc. all adopt the simplest design.

Because of this, the manufacturing expenditure of sightseeing boats will be relatively small.

If the sightseeing boat is officially operational, other versions of the boat will definitely need to be built, including 'luxury' and 'normal'.

This is like cruise ships on the sea. Some cruise ships are very ordinary, while others are luxury cruise ships. The manufacturing costs vary greatly.

If you see a luxury sightseeing boat, the manufacturing cost will definitely be very high, and it is possible to even quadruple or five times the cost.

The ordinary type does not have low manufacturing cost, but has a large number of "manned" vehicles. Space tourism is definitely a new market, and it needs to work hard to make it a popular market.

In a popular market, consumption must be close to ordinary people.

Luxurious sightseeing boats are for the rich, but ordinary people can also consume them, so they must be "people-friendly" boats. For similar boats to be profitable, they must carry a sufficient number of passengers.

One thousand is the guarantee.

According to the cost of fuel, materials, round-trip maintenance and risks of the spacecraft, the average cost is more than 20 million each time. If you want to make a profit from the operation, the ticket revenue needs to reach 50 million. Only after several years of continuous operation, the spacecraft can be Earn back manufacturing costs.

If the number of passengers reaches 1,000, the fare per passenger will only be 50,000 yuan.

The price is very affordable.

Because the ticket price of some luxury cruise ships will exceed 20,000, 30,000, or even 50,000 or 100,000.

It is impossible for the sightseeing boat to reach this price when it is initially operated, and it is also impossible for Yixing Company to operate it. Unless the market is full enough and other companies that purchase sightseeing boats compete, the ticket price may be as low as this. degree.

Initially, it is definitely the most profitable.

Today's sightseeing ships carry about 300 passengers. Even if the one-time fee reaches hundreds or tens of millions, many people will rush to take it.

This is not only a ride on a sightseeing ship in space, an unforgettable journey, but also a good opportunity to socialize.

Each of the first passengers on the sightseeing ship can be said to be either rich or expensive. There will definitely be many super rich people among them, and there will not be many opportunities to participate in similar social interactions. There will definitely be many people around the world who would have to buy a boat ticket even if they broke the bank. .

Zhao Yi thought carefully and suddenly became more optimistic about the space travel market.

In fact, there are still disadvantages to traveling in space. When Zhao Yi and several technical departments and astronauts discussed the sightseeing ship, they kept talking about "disadvantages".

"Our sightseeing ship can circle the earth once at most, but if it is actually put into operation, three days is already the limit."

"Because space is in a state of weightlessness for a long time, and it is such an environment continuously, it may have an impact on health, and the passenger experience is not good."

“Because of this, each operation cannot exceed three days.”

"Two and a half days is the best time."

"In addition, because it can only fly around the earth, there is actually no scenery to speak of. It will be boring if you watch it for too long."

"I estimate that no passengers will choose to go to space for the second time, unless other sightseeing channels can be opened in the future, such as going to other planets, the moon, Mars, etc., but in the short term, this is impossible."

In fact, the most important issue is gravity. The feeling of weightlessness is indeed very attractive, but in fact, there is an anti-gravity experience hall on the ground where you can directly experience the feeling of weightlessness.

Space sightseeing is to go to space to truly experience the feeling of weightlessness, take a look at the scenery in space, and see the earth from the perspective of a spaceship.

However, being in a state of weightlessness for a long time will greatly affect the journey experience.

This is where the contradiction lies.

If the journey time is too short, some passengers will consider cost-effectiveness.

However, the journey time is too long, and many passengers simply cannot bear it. The feeling of being weightless for a long time is not good.

How to solve this problem?

Several managers and technicians at Yixing Company were all deep in thought.

At this time, Zhao Yi said directly, "I think this issue should be consulted with professional travel experts instead of us trying to figure it out."

The others looked at each other and couldn't help but nod along.

They are all a group of technical and financial personnel who think about travel experience issues. They are not professionally relevant at all. Professional issues need to be solved by professionals!
