Super technology leader

"Alright, just now the camera panned around Red Potato Island for a week, and as you've seen, this is our new space launch center."

Tang Chuan faced the camera with a smile, pointing to the long runways as he introduced them.

"In the future, our rocket launch missions will all be moved here. After all, as you can see, I'm standing in front of a super-large assembly building that can assemble four super-heavy rockets simultaneously."

"Over there is our space waiting hall, similar in nature to the Pathfinder headquarters, but larger. It can dock with more orbital shuttles at the same time, allowing for more daily round trips to space. We will also appropriately lower prices to make tickets cheaper, so more people can go to space and take a look."

"This is just a short-term goal, probably within a few months, we will start formal space tourism flights. Didn't we have a ticket lottery before? We will be drawing the winners soon..."

If the previous part was just a "new house" introduction, then these two sentences truly touched the hearts of the audience.

After all, no matter how much they introduced before, it was Pathfinder Company's own business, and only the tickets concerned the audience themselves.

Although technology is becoming more and more advanced, entering space is still very difficult, so tickets are still extremely expensive for the average person.

Now that the CEO of Pathfinder Company says he's going to lower ticket prices, wouldn't that mean dropping from the million-level to... nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand?

Ahem, they were just guessing.

After all, the costs are there, how much can the price be lowered?

Not only are orbital shuttles more expensive to build than airplanes, but even the fuel costs are higher, and the site usage fees are outrageously expensive. Moreover, going to space requires completely overcoming gravity.

Many things are remarkable breakthroughs and progress from 0 to 1, but going from 1 to 0 is equally difficult to overcome.

Therefore, many people believe that even if the price of space tickets drops again, it will still be at least in the "ten thousand" unit range.

Even if it drops to tens of thousands, it's still not something the average person can afford.

Expecting space ticket prices to drop to an acceptable range for the average person is not as good as expecting a wave of ticket lotteries.

Although the odds of this thing are very low, it's free after all, so you won't lose anything!

What if?

"Maybe I'm unlucky in lotteries usually just for this day!"

This is what many people thought.

But then, Tang Chuan moved to another place, going down from the roof of the assembly building to a large workshop.

This workshop stores the "Starry Sky Inn" that is about to go into space.

Tang Chuan and his team needed to clean themselves once before entering, and then put on anti-static suits, so the live broadcast here first played some previously recorded content. After they had fully changed their clothes, they returned to the live broadcast screen.

This time, the live broadcast screen switched back to the interior of the workshop. The camera zoomed from a full view of the Starry Sky Inn directly to a distance of two meters.

This distance was closer than any previous exposure and promotion, completely a close-up shot.

They weren't afraid of leaking secrets, after all, this space module would be operating as a commercial space after entering space, so they weren't afraid of people seeing it. They were just afraid that accidental contact would affect the safety of the module.

Although the module wouldn't be that fragile, it's better to be careful.

What if someone tripped and fell?

If they crashed into the module with both people and machine, it would be too late to regret it.

"Wow, so close, this space station module is really big!"

"According to the data, this should be the largest single space station module in human history. Even a single module can be compared to a space station."

"That's for sure. Although space stations are composed of small sections, this module has many separate compartments inside. It can basically be regarded as a multi-module structure, but the external shell doesn't look like a messy combined one."

"In this way, the Starry Sky Inn is relatively advanced. After all, it has high integration and high structural strength. I don't know how the structural strength of that combined structure is, but it looks like there are so many interfaces and many 'branches', which doesn't feel very strong."

"To be honest, private aerospace companies have bold space station designs. In addition to Interstellar Pathfinder's space station going into space at the end of the month, America's private inflatable space station will also go into space. At that time, that inflatable module will be the largest single space station."

"I feel like that one is too troublesome to use. Although an inflatable space station can use the smallest rocket to transport the largest single module up, its later assembly is a big trouble. Many devices that cannot be directly compressed and carried up must also be transported up by rockets, and astronauts need to install them one by one in zero gravity."

"Ah, I'm not here to see the space station. I just want to ask if the helmets in those previous videos are the legendary virtual reality helmets?"

"Yeah, it's too tantalizing. There's no official news at all. Can someone explain it?"

"Isn't their boss here? Just ask the boss directly. Can he see the real-time comments?"

"Probably not. I haven't seen him read the comments. He's been introducing various things and hasn't interacted with netizens."

The latest novels are first published on 6 9 books bar!

"..."

Soon Tang Chuan noticed the changes in the comments, after all, he was the one reading them.

I have to say, these people have good memories. It's also because the commotion he made before was too big, and the nerve-connected virtual reality helmet, a legendary thing, is indeed attractive enough.

There's no way, this is actually what he wanted.

So, he thought for a while and ex (made) plained (up): "You people, don't slander me out of thin air. I've always been reading the comments. After all, I'm about the same age as some of you, in our twenties, and of course we have some of the same hobbies."

"Regarding the situation you mentioned, those few videos about virtual reality helmets, I just want to say that the person who released the videos is so handsome, always bringing people surprises... and scares."

"To be honest, our company does have related plans, but we can't say it now. After all, tasks have to be done one by one."

"Look," Tang Chuan pointed to the Starry Sky Inn module next to him, "This is the first fully functional commercial space station launched by a private company, which is very important, so after we finish this period, we will definitely give everyone an explanation, how about that?"

The audience was about to cheer, but Tang Chuan took a big breath.

"Of course, this explanation cannot guarantee that everyone will be satisfied, after all, some people's demands are difficult to achieve."

"..."

"Damn!"

"Almost flashed my waist!"

"Damn, this big breath, scared me to death. I really thought you already had virtual reality helmets."

"Huh? Why do I think they really have virtual reality helmets? Otherwise, how would they explain it? What he said about some people's demands being difficult to achieve should refer to some online beggars, right? Coming up and asking for a helmet as a lottery prize or something."

"I don't think so. I think we're overthinking it. They probably don't have virtual reality helmets at all, maybe just ordinary VR helmets. Otherwise, why would they apologize before even showing it?"

"Why so much nonsense? Our journey is the stars and the sea, what do we need virtual reality helmets for? That thing is something needed in a decadent cyberpunk world. Even if I had one, I wouldn't buy it! I'm putting my words here!"
