Question 1527 Jump (Part 2)

The blackout lasted for 29 hours, with a loss of 61,800 megawatts of load and about 50 million people affected by the blackout.

The power outages led the Big Three U.S. automakers to close their 54 factories for two consecutive days. General Motors temporarily closed 17 parts and assembly plants in three U.S. states and Canada. Ford Motor Company's 23 factories in New York, Ohio, Michigan, Ontario and Canada were also forced to stop production. Chrysler Group has suspended production at 14 of its 31 NAFTA plants. According to analysis, the loss to the gross domestic product caused by the outage is estimated to be between 25 billion and 30 billion US dollars per day.

This was the largest power outage in the history of North America. Fires broke out in many places, and some people took advantage of the power outage at night to loot. More than 80,000 emergency calls to 911 were received, and emergency medical services also received a record 5,000 calls for help. Water was cut off in several cities, and thousands of flights were canceled. In short, all walks of life suffered heavy losses.

"Did you see it?" Guo Tailai saw the news, pointed to the news on the TV and said to Little Finn, "To be honest, I just didn't think of taking advantage of the fire to rob your financial market at this time." , otherwise you can make a lot of money casually. Don't be convinced, it will definitely be more than enough to earn back all the expenses of this skydiving. It's just that I am kind!"

The awe-inspiring Guo Tailai himself also regrets a bit, because he doesn't remember things that he doesn't pay much attention to in the future dream? I have forgotten the exact date of the power outage in the United States and Canada, how to arrange it in advance? It can only be pretended to be kind.

However, Little Finn was dumbfounded watching the real-time news. He never imagined that what Guo Tailai said casually in the car that day could actually become a prophecy, saying that there would be a problem with the electrical equipment, and there would be a problem.

No wonder my father asked me to participate in every Treasure Ship Club meeting. It turns out that sometimes a random judgment or the possible investment direction of these guys is probably a cornucopia of wealth! If I knew this earlier, I should have made some arrangements in advance. If I could realize this time, I might be able to make a small profit!

As far as Guo Tailai is concerned, taking advantage of the fire and robbing will affect the national economy and people's livelihood, shit! When capital encounters such a situation, shouldn’t it be the starting point and fundamental purpose of grabbing the maximum benefit? Where is such kindness needed? Money doesn't disappear, it just goes from other people's pockets to your own. If you really want to be so kind, you can make a charity fund to repay the society and avoid tax by the way! How tall and bright is this?

Such a good opportunity, actually missed it like this! It really shouldn't be! With such a large-scale power outage, the stock prices of companies related to the power grid will definitely fluctuate!

Regrets are all regrets, but little Finn is not angry, there will definitely be such opportunities in the future, as long as you follow the Treasure Ship Club closely, you don't have to worry about everyone not getting rich!

The power outage is only affected in some areas of the Northeast and Midwest of the United States, and Los Angeles and NASA will not be affected at all. Moreover, NASA's astronaut training base has an independent power supply, so there is no need to worry about problems with the national power grid, so Guo Tailai's training has not been affected at all.

With the relationship of a big man like old Finn and enough numbers on the check, the quality and efficiency of NASA are not ordinary high, all the equipment is in place within half a month, and the safety performance has also passed the inspection of NASA and Guo Tailai's security team. inspection, and after a detailed analysis of weather data, a date for the challenge was quickly set.

On August 22nd, less than a week after the blackout, the weather would be perfect.

"It's a coincidence!" Little Finn said with a smile when he heard the date selected by NASA experts: "It's actually the same day as China's launch of a communication satellite. But I believe that God will bless you more of."

"Do you know who launched that communication satellite?" Guo Tailai couldn't help being speechless, and asked little Finn.

"I don't know!" Little Finn shook his head and said, "Is it important who launches the satellite launched by Huaxia?"

"Damn!" Guo Tailai raised his middle finger viciously at Little Finn: "That's my satellite, one of the global communication satellite networks used to ensure the smooth flow of private communication among members of the Treasure Ship Club after I launched it!"

"Ah?" Little Finn was startled, and immediately changed his words without thinking: "God will definitely bless you, and your satellite!"

After finishing speaking, little Finn realized what a private communication satellite network meant, and couldn't help but widen his eyes. No way? How many satellites need to be launched to form a network just for a dozen people to contact each other? Or global communication? Is it too exaggerated?

Seeing that Guo Tailai's face softened a little, little Finn quickly changed the subject: "G, are you really not going to tell Miss Phoenix in advance about this skydive?"

Guo Tailai took Chu Fei to skydive before, but that was just skydiving. Guo Tailai had never said that he wanted to play such a high-risk and challenging event.

"No!" Guo Tailai shook his head: "I'd better tell her after I succeed in the challenge!"

Not only Chu Fei, but also Guo Tailai, the senior sister, didn't say anything. The current security personnel are very disciplined, they will not take the initiative to inquire in the country, and they will not take the initiative to report. They completely regard Guo Tailai as the boss. Therefore, before Guo Tailai said nothing, no one knew.

Lin Jiayi has already started to deal with the handover of Colonel Ka's commercial real estate and Juventus shares, as well as the lens processing contract of the Large Magellan Telescope, and has no idea what Guo Tailai is playing at all.

On the morning of the 22nd, the weather was as calculated by NASA, with clear skies and no wind at all. It was indeed a good day for a challenge.

The huge helium balloon took two truckloads of helium tanks to fill up. The helium balloon looks deflated when it is on the ground, but when it reaches high altitude, it will slowly inflate due to the decrease in air pressure.

Guo Tailai sat in the pressurized pod, wearing a skydiving suit tailored by NASA made of spacesuit materials, wearing an astronaut helmet, and carrying an oxygen supply system and batteries on his back. After checking the communication system shooting equipment and monitoring equipment, began to rise slowly.

During the ascent, the high-definition camera was constantly shooting, and Guo Tailai was not idle, and kept communicating with the ground team via radio. There is no way, the lift-off time is as long as three hours, and it is too boring to be bored alone.

"130,000 feet, G, do you really want to keep going up?" Looking at the altitude display on the ground monitoring equipment, Little Finn couldn't help asking Guo Tailai.

"A little higher, at least to 140,000 feet, it would be more enjoyable to make up a whole number." Guo Tailai's voice came from the radio with a slightly distorted voice.

140,000 feet, 42,672 meters, this figure is higher than the next few challenges, but since Guo Tailai has come up, why not set a better record at one time?

The helium balloon finally rose to the height that Guo Tailai was satisfied with. Guo Tailai opened the door of the pressurized pod, stood carefully at the door, looked at the arc of the earth and the outline of the atmosphere in the distance, and opened his mouth to inform the lower part: "I'm ready, three, Two, one, go!"

Pushing his feet, Guo Tailai's body jumped forward, and he made a leap of faith from the door of the pod, and the whole person plunged into the void.
