The Growth of the Richest Man

The actual shooting time of "Space Traveler" in space is actually not much. The movie mainly needs to be shot in space. One is the plot of the male protagonist working outside the spaceship, and the other is the plot of the heroine taking a bath in the spaceship. These two plots have weightless scenes, and the effect of shooting in space is better. . As for most of the episodes of "Space Traveler", they are not weightless and can be filmed on the ground.

Therefore, although "Space Traveler" is Zhang Yong's second film, Zhang Yong organized a larger team to shoot in space than the first film, but the actual shooting time in space is not particularly long, just only After a week or so of filming in space, the spacecraft returned from space.

After returning to the voyage, the actors and crew need to continue to prepare for the shooting of the next part of the ground. However, the spacecraft did not stop. Because, according to the agreement between Zhang Yong and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), it is time for Zhang Yong to transport the International Space Station staff to the space station for NASA to change the guard.

After a short period of maintenance, the spacecraft was once again put into the mission by Zhang Yong. The astronauts who are going to the space station are ready, and the maintenance work of the spacecraft has been completed. The spacecraft finally lifted off again and went to the International Space Station to transport the astronauts of the space station for the United States and return to the space station. The astronauts who stayed on the International Space Station have been on duty for nearly a year.

Zhang Yong's spacecraft has successfully completed many space missions in a row. In December 2012, when the new year was about to enter, Zhang Yong officially announced that his space travel plan was about to start. Anyone in the world can sign up for Zhang Yong's space travel program. As long as they pay the registration fee of US$80,000, they can come to Angel Island to participate in the intensive training of space travel.

Of course, there will also be a brief physical before participating in space travel training. As a result of the physical examination, if your physical fitness is too poor, you will not be arranged to enter the training. For example, if you have heart disease or high blood pressure, you will be directly refused to enter the training. Of course, in this case, the registration fee will be refunded.

If applicants pass the medical examination, they will enter a three-month training period. If you pass the training, you can get permission to travel to space. Within three years after each person passes the training, as long as those who pass the training can raise $8 million in space travel fees, they can queue up to participate in space travel according to the payment order and experience the magical space journey.

Is $8 million a lot of money? Yes, the price of space travel is very high indeed. As a common international space travel cost, the cost of one time is generally hundreds of millions. However, if he saves a bit of money, in Zhang Yong's plan, he can reduce the cost of this space travel to about 50 million US dollars once. Then, if every space traveler can be fully loaded, then Zhang Yong is actually very profitable.

More than 20,000 people signed up for the first training session. After signing up, teams from all over the world came to Angel Island for medical examinations before space travel. Although the final pass rate of the physical examinations for so many people is not high, the number of people who pass the medical examination has still reached nearly 5,000.

So many people can do intensive training before space travel on Angel Island. However, those with poor physical fitness and unable to pass the medical examination often still travel on Angel Island, or participate in some other aviation experience and amusement projects, of course, not the kind that will really go to space.

Although Zhang Yong wants to refund the registration fees of these people, these people go to Angel Island once, and their tourism consumption is also a lot, which promotes the tourism prosperity of Angel Island. The training team was working hard there, and those who could not participate in the training were also contributing money to Zhang Yong.

While the travelers were training, Zhang Yong's spaceship flew once a week or so. Not to carry out manned missions, the spacecraft at this time is just to transport one capsule after another into space.

Zhang Yong is now building a new Yongchang space station in space. This space station will serve as a rest stop for Zhang Yong's space travel project in the future. All travelers can stay in this space station for one night. In addition, it can also be used as a springboard for Zhang Yong's spaceship to travel farther in the future.

The volume of the Yongchang Space Station is very large, similar to a giant ship at sea. It is impossible to transport such a large space station into space with just one rocket. Zhang Yong's approach is to launch only a part of the space station into space every week, and then use building blocks to continuously transfer the space station to space. Each part is built, and eventually a complete space station is built.

It is sent once a week. During the three-month training period, before the first batch of students graduated, Zhang Yong has launched more than 10 building blocks. Although there are only more than 10 building blocks, it is not enough to build a complete space station, but this space station has already been launched. It has the function of a base camp for the basic space travel team to rest.

Among the students who participated in the space travel training, there were also a lot of people who finally passed, reaching nearly 2,000. Except for a few people who suffered physical injuries due to poor physical coordination or some mistakes during training, most of the trainees were able to pass the space travel training at one time.

After passing the training, the next step is to let these trainees pay to go to space. The fee they have to pay is as high as 8 million US dollars, which is definitely a very high price. However, there are also a lot of rich people in this world, especially those who have passed training, except for a small part of them , just to get an opportunity for space flight training and experience the feeling of space flight in depth, most of them can really easily raise so much money, and then prepare to line up for space travel.

The people who paid the fees exceeded Zhang Yong's expectations, and there were more than 1,600 people. The spacecraft can only carry about 12 people once it flies into the sky. Except for Zhang Yong who has to arrange two staff members, the spacecraft can only arrange about 10 people to go to the sky each time.

Therefore, if there are so many people who signed up, if all of them can achieve space travel, Zhang Yong's spaceship needs to fly more than 100 times. What a long waiting time this must have been! It may be possible to shorten the time of each flight, but people spend so much money on space travel, you can't let those tourists return to Earth before they have been in space enough?

Therefore, after the tourists carried the spacecraft to the sky, Zhang Yong felt that it was more appropriate to let the spacecraft stay in the sky for about three days, so that those tourists could have a good tour experience, and then return to the earth!

After returning to Earth, the spacecraft will have to undergo three or four days of overhaul and maintenance before it can enter the next round of space travel. Therefore, each round of space travel will take about a week. It will take almost two years for 1600 people to achieve space travel! For such a long time, not only tourists find it difficult to wait, but even Zhang Yong feels very embarrassed.

However, there is an accurate queuing basis, that is, the payment time of everyone, so everyone will not have any special opinions.

Although Zhang Yong's spaceship has only made the first manned trip so far, all the more than 1,600 people have already paid Zhang Yong the full amount of the trip. Zhang Yong's advance payment for this space travel project has reached more than 10 billion US dollars!

Since he earned so much money at one time, Zhang Yong doesn't need to be stingy! People's enthusiasm for space tourism is too strong, one spaceship is not enough? Then Zhang Yong will build a second, or even a third spaceship!

However, at this time, Gong Min asked Zhang Yong a huge question. Some time ago, with the strong support of the Mexican Space Agency, Zhang Yong's main fuel for spaceflight, such as aviation kerosene, was fully guaranteed. However, if Zhang Yong's spaceflight is too frequent, the amount of aviation kerosene in Mexico will not be enough, and even if the whole country is devoted, the completion of the space mission cannot be guaranteed.

Spaceflight also needs to use solid rocket fuel, metal or non-metal with low density, such as lithium, beryllium, magnesium, aluminum, boron, etc., especially beryllium can release huge energy in the process of combustion, all can be used as fuel of. Although the prices of these things are very high, Zhang Yong can still accept them. However, the problem is that these metal elements are very rare. Even if Zhang Yong gives money, he can't buy enough raw materials! Like these raw materials, most countries will set sales quotas for export target countries. Even if Zhang Yong has money, he can't buy enough rocket fuel at all.

How to do? Under such circumstances, Zhang Yong had to launch one of his new black technologies again. The battery technology that Zhang Yong's Hammer Company is best at can also be used in spaceships. Now he is going to build his new spaceships into pure electric spaceships that use electricity.

In fact, Zhang Yong's idea of ​​launching an electric plane or an electric rocket is not very abrupt. As early as the early 1970s, there were already companies producing electric planes that carried people. However, it is not easy to make the aircraft fully powered by electricity.

First, the energy released by the burning of fossil fuels is very violent and can provide sufficient power for the propellers; and if the engine of the aircraft is powered by batteries, this thrust will be significantly less than that produced by burning fossil fuels. Therefore, the acceleration of the aircraft with batteries may be much slower than the burning of practical fuel.

Another important issue is the capacity of the battery. In general, the power storage capacity of the battery is related to the volume of the battery. If an aircraft is completely powered by batteries, the battery volume carried by the aircraft will be very large when it is fully loaded with passengers.

However, these two problems can be solved for Zhang Yong. Accelerate slowly? Exactly, if the acceleration is too fast, some people's body will not be able to bear it, it is better to be slower; insufficient battery capacity? Zhang Yong's battery has a much larger capacity than ordinary batteries.

Moreover, for rockets, before the rocket flies out of the earth, the rocket needs a lot of energy to propel it, but very little energy is required after entering space, so electric rockets are completely feasible and feasible. big. Even if the stage before entering space cannot be completely powered by batteries, Zhang Yong can also choose to use liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to burn to provide kinetic energy for the rocket.

In terms of battery production, Zhang Yong's batteries have always been synonymous with the highest end.

During this time, Zhang Yong continued to increase his investment in battery production. Now, Zhang Yong's Tesla company has replaced all the new batteries produced by Angel Island. Now Tesla's cruising range can reach up to more than 800 kilometers when fully charged, which has exceeded the mileage of most fuel vehicles. battery life.

Tesla's biggest problem now is that the battery life of electric vehicles is no longer long enough, but that the charging of electric vehicles is not convenient. After all, gas stations can be seen every other distance, but charging piles are not common. However, the electric cars produced by Tesla can be charged directly through ordinary household power sources, so if a charging plug is installed in the garage, charging is more convenient.

However, if you are far away~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in the parking lot and there is really no electricity, and there is no charging pile, then you can only use the power strip to wire from a long distance, and then give The vehicle is charged.

In addition to charging the vehicle with ordinary household power, Tesla also supports the use of dedicated charging piles for fast charging. If you use a special charging pile for fast charging, it only takes an hour to two hours to fully charge a car. Although it is not comparable to the one minute to refuel a fuel car, it is still fast enough.

On the other hand, in China, Mobike is now facing a lot of competition. A large number of shared bicycle companies such as OFO and Yonganxing, which are very similar to Mobike's operation model, are now booming and have received a lot of capital. Now, in order to seize the market, they are in a price war with Mobike. !

In the current bike-sharing industry, companies are fighting price wars with each other. Every city is already overcrowded with shared bicycles. In this case, it is unrealistic to continue to increase the number of shares and obtain benefits by setting prices.

Zhang Yong is gradually recycling all Mobike bicycles and is preparing to launch Mobike electric vehicles to achieve differentiated operation with shared bicycle companies. As an electric vehicle, the biggest problem is the problem of battery charging. Even if someone learns the operation mode of Mobike electric vehicles, but Mobike electric vehicles use batteries with longer battery life, while others use batteries with shorter battery life, um, Mobike can invest less in maintenance labor costs than others .

This is total cheating! Zhang Yong believes that under this operation, Mobike will definitely develop better than several other bike-sharing companies.
