Chapter 191: The First Year of Space

By the way, why did the Black Hole Group buy so much land?

Another 4,500 acres were acquired at once.

And it is more than 30 kilometers away from the city, and it is a remote countryside.

However, in this world, people never follow houses, but follow companies and things that can create value.

As long as the Black Hole Group is willing, it can take tens of thousands of employees to build a small city in remote rural areas.

For example, Longyao Company turned a small town into "Longyao Town", and there is also a dedicated Longyao subway station.

If the Black Hole Group develops all the 4,500 acres of land and builds a large number of houses, there is no need to worry about losing money and not being able to sell it.

Of course, the main reason is that the land reserves in the hands of Black Hole Real Estate have been used up and arrangements have been made. When the development of these lands is completed, Black Hole Real Estate, which has no idle land resources, will have to lay off employees and close down?

For the sustainable development of the company, new land banks should be added.

Wei Ming discussed it with Sister Xiao and settled on the Tianziling landfill in the northern suburbs of the city.

The land is a small basin surrounded by mountains. The middle basin area is a thousand acres in size, and more than tens of millions of tons of garbage are buried.

Due to the overwhelming stench and serious groundwater pollution, the surrounding five kilometers are almost uninhabited and are all barren mountains. The purchase cost of the land is extremely low, and there are no troubles such as demolition compensation.

"Contract this land first, remove the garbage and pollution inside, and spend some time repairing the environment."

"Then build a black hole town with beautiful scenery and the fragrance of birds and flowers. Build thousands of villas on the mountainside, as well as large shopping malls, schools, hospitals, office buildings, libraries, small playgrounds, and a place where you can fish, Central lake for swimming and shore walks.”

"The 5G network has full coverage, smart express delivery vehicles automatically deliver goods to your door, and unmanned buses take you to any location...enjoy all the conveniences brought by technology."

“The supporting facilities are complete and all kinds of facilities are available.”

“Quiet and comfortable, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.”

"Sister Xiao, how much would it cost to build a dream town, a happy town, a science fiction town that integrates technology, work, entertainment, education, medical care, leisure, elderly care and other functions?"

Wei Ming asked.

"At least 100 billion!"

Xiao Fangru thought for a while and said: "Although the land is not valuable, this is a small town with complete functions. It can build about 10,000 three-story single-family villas, plus office buildings, shopping malls, schools, hospitals and other supporting facilities. The cost is It can’t be less than 100 billion, and each villa needs to be sold for 10 million to barely make up the money.”

"Then it's settled."

Wei Ming said: "It will take three to five years to build the black hole town first."

As for the final selling price of the villa, we will discuss it after the town is built. Anyway, the price will not be too cheap, but it should be within the tolerance of the employees.

And if the living conditions in this town are really good and convenient, Wei Ming will also consider moving there. The Mingxia villa he lives in now is too remote. He has to go one kilometer away to buy anything, and there are no neighbors. She talks and talks as if she is isolated from the world. After a long time, no one can bear it.

"Okay, Mr. Wei."

…

Late October.

Several major events have happened in the technology circle.

All related to the field of space exploration.

First of all, China's space station was completed and put into use one year ahead of schedule, making China the third country in the world capable of independently building and operating a space station for a long time.

The Huaguo Space Station consists of a core cabin, six experimental cabins and six living cabins, with a total of 13 fixed cabins and up to 5 external interfaces. The space station has an internal space of more than 500 cubic meters and a total weight of 280 tons. Flying around the earth in an orbit 400 kilometers above the ground.

Compared with the International Space Station, which will be decommissioned in 2028, in terms of internal space, the International Space Station has 916 cubic meters and a mass of 420 tons.

Except for the maximum number of astronauts it can accommodate, they are all 6.

No matter from which aspect you look at it, the Huaguo Space Station is a small one, and its scale is obviously smaller.

But in fact, the originally planned Huaguo Space Station only had three experimental cabins and three living cabins, with an internal space of only 360 cubic meters and a maximum mass of 180 tons. However, starting from March this year until October, Huaguo’s space station The aerospace group launched six additional rockets at the frequency of one Expedition-5 heavy-lift rocket per month, temporarily expanding the size of the space station to the current level.

In this way, it seems that the configuration is slightly more luxurious, no longer so petty, and it is economical and practical in every aspect.

The reason for the temporary expansion is that on the one hand, we have money, but we can do it in one step, so there is no need to save tens of billions; secondly, we used a lot of new materials, which greatly improved the reliability of the rocket, and six consecutive launches were a complete success.

The completion of the Chinese space station ahead of schedule can be said to have greatly inspired the spirit of all citizens and greatly enhanced their pride and self-confidence. The Internet is full of joy, and China has set off another wave of space craze.

Since then, China has had people stationed on the space station for a long time. It can be said that China has become a frequent visitor to the quiet space and entered the "first year of space."

However, this achievement is not of great significance, but it is of great significance to China.

Around the world, all eyes are on another person and another company.

Elon Musk.

SpaceX Space Exploration Technologies Ltd.

This person and this private aerospace company have released another super trick this year: manned landing on the moon.

That's right.

It is the moon 380,000 kilometers away from the blue planet. After 55 years, a company's "Dragon 2" spacecraft, carrying two astronauts, arrived at the near-moon orbit after more than half a month of travel and successfully landed.

The two astronauts walked out of the landing module, stayed on the moon for two hours, took 20 kilograms of lunar soil, returned to the orbital module, and embarked on the return journey.

Most importantly, to prove the authenticity of this moon landing, from the rocket launch to the landing on the moon, the whole process was broadcast live in 4K high-definition without a second of interruption.

In order to ensure that the live broadcast was not interrupted, the spacecraft even threw out dozens of 5G communication satellites halfway and prepared multiple backup live broadcast channels.

The entire moon landing process was carried out under the eyes of three billion viewers watching the live broadcast, leaving no room for skeptics and conspiracy theorists to question.

Success.

This moon landing operation was undoubtedly a huge success!

Although the way the Dragon 2 spacecraft landed on the moon was a kind of space building blocks, it used twenty Falcon rockets to transport hundreds of tons of loose parts and materials into space to assemble a large spacecraft that can go to the moon and return, which took a long time, was costly, and had a lot of showmanship.

But SpaceX succeeded!

With the size of a private company, it has achieved landing on the moon and is planning to achieve manned landing on Mars next year!

This wonderful live broadcast was watched by more than three billion netizens around the world. Elon Musk became an idol worshipped by countless people and a super internet celebrity with countless fans. He was in the limelight for a while and was destined to go down in history.

Investors were optimistic, and the stock price and market value soared five times.

The early completion of the Chinese space station was submerged in this brilliant achievement.

Some experts even claimed that the success of SpaceX announced that mankind had entered the real first year of space. In the future, mankind may migrate to other planets and become citizens of the solar system, rather than being confined to a small blue planet, and being confined to this sad planet where disasters, wars, hunger, and hatred occur every day.

"This..."

Watching the media bombarding the news about Elon Musk and SpaceX, and watching the man in the video, Wei Ming felt a little jealous and uncomfortable.

Because he felt that he could have sex with him.
