But he said that after Zhang Jingyuan came back, he immediately put aside those depressions. In fact, Zhang Jingyuan didn't think that a few little people for personal gain would have any impact on the master company.
This is not arrogance, but confidence! Go back 50 years and energy companies are the absolute boss. Regardless of the high profits of securities capital and the like, or the booming development of the Internet industry, in these fields, even if you have money, it will not have any impact on the development of the country - without you, there are people to do it!
But energy companies are different, they directly control the lifeblood of the country! You won't give me support? Well, I directly cut off the energy supply, or reduce, reduce prices, etc.; therefore, energy companies have a very high social status. Of course, the premise is that it must be large enough and have a sufficient foundation.
Now, aerospace companies are gradually replacing energy companies. With the development of science and the widespread use of nuclear energy, especially since some countries have begun lunar mining, large amounts of nuclear material are continuously transported to nuclear power plants on the earth, and the original energy companies are rapidly collapsing.
And along with it, what replaced this market and position were aerospace companies!
Nowadays, despite the financial constraints of expert companies, there are not even a few finished products in the aerospace industry; but the technical strength is here, you dare to restrict me? Believe it or not, I take anti-restrictive measures! Although you are a national department, it is the same as the so-called big customers bullying stores. It’s true that you belong to the country, but if I don’t criticize you, what else can you do! ! !
In the past, Gaoshou Company had paid too much for development, but now, it is time to enjoy success. If he had encountered this situation before, Zhang Jingyuan would have gritted his teeth and agreed even if he felt uncomfortable when he saw that there was still profit to be made; but now, humph, we can still have fun without you; and you guys If the master company wants to launch these 500 tons of materials into space, the direct cost alone will be 100-120 billion yuan, not counting the 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 amount of resources, and if these resources are applied in the fields of scientific research or people's livelihood, they will greatly improve the rest. Domain situation.
At the same time, social resources are limited, so if more is used here, there will inevitably be less in other places! This is an inextricable knot, so 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 a saying in the aerospace field: implicit costs > explicit costs!
Therefore, after discovering the problem, Zhang Jingyuan simply shook his head and left! The expert company is not short of bad customers like you! Moreover, Zhang Jingyuan even vaguely told Cheng Feng, who contacted Cheng Feng by emergency call, that the master company was conducting final inspections and tests on the aircraft, and it was expected that it would be able to sail in 3 days or 5 days at the latest.
The maximum thrust of Gaoshou Company's aircraft is 150 tons, and the aircraft's dead weight is 25 tons. Because the main destination of aircraft is space, the thrust-to-weight ratio in the atmosphere has lost its meaning; in space, the thrust-to-weight ratio can only be below 1, unlike in the atmosphere, where some perfectly designed aircraft can reach 13 times or more. Compare.
Because although the aircraft has three engines, one is a backup just in case; after all, space is too dangerous and too far away. Once it crashes, under current conditions, it can basically only be declared dead. Therefore, the aircraft's safe carrying material weight is less than 75 tons, plus the aircraft's own weight of 25 tons, which is exactly the maximum power of the two engines. And when taking off from the ground, it can have about ten times the thrust-to-weight ratio from the buoyancy of the air; and when the air is thin at high altitudes, the gravity also begins to decrease. Basically, according to calculations, the engine maintains 70-80 during this process. % power is enough.
Seeing that the Gregorian calendar year 2047 has arrived, and China's own lunar New Year is not long away, the Gaoshou Company has decided to officially take off the Feixian aircraft for space tourism. Of course, it is also to take this opportunity to build the reputation of the Gaoshou Company and to make money.
At a price of 1.5 billion Chinese dollars per person per day, the reservation for a load of 16 people (excluding two drivers) has already been completed. Because the Feixiang aircraft needs to be as wide and comfortable as possible, the aircraft is 25 meters long, weighs 30 tons, has two S02 engines with a thrust of 110 tons, and has a safe load capacity of 60 tons (the numerical test is somewhat conservative considering personal safety). The plane carried a total of about 10 tons of safety supplies and food; the remaining weight was 50 tons, which averaged to 16 people, and each person could carry 3.125 tons (including himself).
But of course, no one involved in transportation can be so honest; so the master company stipulates that the standard weight is 150 kilograms, and if it exceeds 150 kilograms, it will charge 10,000 yuan per kilogram. However, generally speaking, if there are very few people who weigh more than 150 kilograms, or even those who weigh more than 100 kilograms, Gaoshou Company will refuse, or ask the other party to sign a strict treaty: Gaoshou Company will not be responsible for any death caused by changes in the space environment. Space travel is not just a game. If you are not careful, your life may be in danger. Especially for some hypertensive patients who do not exercise, they are simply dancing in front of death.
On January 11, 2047, the second weekend of the new year (whether there is no investigation on the weekend, let’s o(n_n)o haha~), Gaoshou Company decided to officially launch; 16 rich people from all over the country were as excited as ducks, Even though all of them are successful big bosses, when faced with things like space tourism, they are still uncontrollably excited. This should be the first time in the world that space travel has been open to ordinary people.
The master company also took advantage of this opportunity to promote it with all its strength. Of course, more importantly, everyone has time to pay attention on the weekend. In fact, despite China's development now, people's living standards have improved significantly; however, with the development of space competition, work is not easy. A large number of social resources are concentrated in a small number of aerospace departments, and a large number of talents are transferred. Therefore, ordinary people The work pressure is still very high.
In fact, just like when the United States landed on the moon, 500 million people around the world watched the live broadcast; but now, facing the first space tourism open to ordinary people, more people are paying attention, and because of the developed network, almost 100 million people around the world are paying attention. Ninety percent of the people were connected to the internal network of Gaoshou Company at this time and at this point; the network IP instantly reached more than 6 billion!
There were already countless reporters taking photos at the scene. The location is the flight base on the seaside that was recently renovated by the Master Company. However, calling it a flight base is a bit exaggerated. With the advancement of technology, the so-called take-off base only has a 100-meter runway.
The reason why the world is paying so much attention is because there is a clear watershed in technological development: civilian use!
Many people don’t understand why civilian use has become a watershed? Because the technology can be used by civilians, it means that it is mature and the cost is low enough, which indicates that new technologies will begin to develop explosively. Hiding wealth among the people is a truth recognized by the world today; so how to concentrate this wealth? The stock market and the like can only be regarded as marginal; what is really effective is investment! Just like the explosive development of the Internet.
Therefore, this takeoff of Gaoshou Company seems to be just an advancement in aerospace technology, but it is actually a watershed, a watershed for aerospace technology to truly enter a big explosion! In fact, regardless of success or not, after this, the whole world will enter the era of aerospace fever!
