Chapter 944 Incalculable Value
Damn it, is it really just a space station?
It wasn't just senior Liu Zhusheng who was shocked.
After seeing the video released by the Star Ring Trade and the photos taken by the first batch of passengers in the Star Ring City, the friends of netizens all over the world were also stunned by this magnificent space station.
In a forum for aviation enthusiasts in China, a certain member reposted a picture from the official website of Xinghuan Trading to the forum, and the whole forum suddenly seemed like boiling water in a boiler, and the topic of discussing this matter was instantly wiped out. Members who were on the water game before on the forum also talked about those pictures that seemed to be taken from some movie.
"...Oh my God, did I walk into a Star Trek set?"
"The set of Star Trek? Mentally retarded, can CG special effects compare with real things?!"
In addition to being surprised by the meaningless water meter, some people also stood up and discussed the group of pictures released by Xinghuan Trading from a technical perspective. For example, someone who claimed to be an expert in the relevant field jumped out and posted a slightly technical post.
"Using the ring as a counterweight, the counterweight rotates around the axis at great speed. The cable-like track is pulled by centrifugal force to ensure that the track is taut. The 'counterweight' itself is used as a living space, and gravity is provided by centrifugal force... …whoever came up with such a design is a genius!"
For discussion posts like this, when the number of clicks and replies reaches a certain level, there will naturally be "industry masters" jumping out to give pointers. Except for those new members who have a sense of presence, there are usually technical masters who actually work in aerospace units.
For example, a senior member whose ID is "Space Private" not only has a lot of certification medals hanging under the ID, but also Huaguo Aerospace Science and Industry Group is written in the column of the work unit on the information! His seniority in the forum is quite old, and he bubbled up on the forum in the days when this aerospace enthusiast forum was still discussing Microsoft's Freelancer game.
"The genius is the person who realized this design. Every time the material is delivered to the space station, the position of the center of gravity will be changed. If the moment of the counterweight and the rotation speed of the cantilever are used to counteract, the amount of calculation involved will be astronomical. I It is estimated that even Tianhe-1 will take more than half a day!"
As soon as the Great God spoke, it immediately attracted countless attention.
"My God, doesn't this mean that the main control computer that controls the balance system of the space elevator is a supercomputer stronger than Tianhe-1?"
Seeing the speeches of the noobs, the "Second Class Aerospace Soldier" smiled disdainfully. As a fan of future technology, he typed a few lines and replied.
"Is it hard for them? You probably don't know,
The supercomputing chip used by our Tianhe-2 is the Dragoon X1 supercomputing chip designed by Futureman Technology and produced by Futureman Heavy Industry. Brand-new lix architecture, semiconductor-type graphene material, and 7nm manufacturing process, even the industry leader Intel has to surrender its knees! "
"Let me tell you, the patent fees that Intel pays to the Future Group each year are enough to buy several listed companies!"
When it comes to patent fees, the aerospace privates can't help but beam with joy.
Since joining the WTO, in the high-tech field, especially the electronics industry, Huaguo has to pay tens of billions of patent fees to electronics industry giants such as Intel and Qualcomm every year. Although he didn't work in the electronics industry, he still raised his eyebrows fiercely for a while.
What?
Isn't Future Group a Huaguo company?
What does that matter! He is a company owned by Chinese people, and it is technically a company opened by Chinese people in Europe and America, which is enough!
Of course, only a small number of people pay attention to technology, and more people still focus on another breaking news. This news was published on the official website along with the group of pictures of Star Ring City, which caught the eyes of almost every viewer.
[Star Ring City will sign a contract with Hilton Hotel with a construction area of 30,000 square meters to build the world's first space-themed hotel. 】
Earlier, Star Ring Trading announced the ticket price of the space elevator on the official website, and the pre-tax basic price of the adult ticket price is only SGD 1,500! This economy class fare is even cheaper than some airline tickets!
Those who have no money see the opportunity of space tourism, and those who have money see the business opportunity of space tourism! Hilton can go up and open a hotel, why can't I go up and sell a biscuit?
Although the Star Ring Trade is not yet open for ticket sales, everyone's hearts have already flown to the beautiful Koro Island.
The scarves of almost well-known tourist Vs have all been swiped by this unimaginably cheap space travel. Many of them have traveled half the world, but none of them have been to the sky yet! Hearing that the space elevator of Star Ring Trade has opened up the fare information, the passion for travel was immediately ignited.
No matter when the ticket sales are open, it is right to go to Koro Island and wait first.
Just when countless people were planning to travel to Xinguo, something even crazier happened.
A domestic Internet celebrity posted a scarf and complained about China Southern Airlines, not because of the service quality, but because all the tickets are sold out!
"This is going crazy! I just went to the official website of China Southern Airlines to check the air tickets, and all the tickets to Xinguo are sold out! That's right, they are all sold out! Even the first-class seats have been sold out, naively Baby, I thought I could get a plane ticket, but I didn’t expect the tickets for next month to be sold out!”
One stone caused a thousand waves, and countless fans replied under her scarf.
"Really? Why doesn't China Southern Airlines arrange more flights?"
"You are stupid! There are only two airports on Koro Island, and now the third airport has just plowed a runway. You have a lot of traffic here, but the traffic in other places is small? It takes time to apply for a runway! Additional flights Shifts can’t be added just by patting your head.”
"Now if you want to go to Xinguo, you can only take the sea route. First take a plane to Xiangjiang or Wanghai and Guangdong and Guangxi, and then take a boat to Anga Island. However, if conditions permit, I personally recommend flying to Australia and then changing to a ship from Australia. It will be faster."
"..."
In addition to those well-known big Vs, the 1,500 SGD space tour has also spread in the circle of ordinary people. I don't know whose blog post I read, some "literary young women" somehow regard space travel as a soul journey for spiritual cleansing.
However, the space elevator is not the Sichuan-Tibet line, and it cannot take a free ride from "good-hearted people".
So someone issued a scarf for help.
"Sisters, where can I find a poor travel strategy in Xinghuan City? Wait online, it's very urgent."
There is also a selfie of Zhang Mengmeng behind the scarf.
In this era full of well-meaning people, if someone asks for help, someone will naturally help.
For example, a broad-minded netizen replied under her scarf.
"You can buy a plane ticket to Xinguo first, and then try to see if you can get a ride with Driver Jiang. If you can get a ride in his limited-edition Lamborghini, he won't mind sending you to heaven~"
"..."
Not only the netizens all over the world were stunned, but also the governments of various countries who had just participated in the United Nations Outer Space Summit. However, they did not express their shock on their faces and official Weibo. Instead, they worked overtime and held meetings to re-examine whether they had underestimated the true value of the space elevator. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
