Like everyone else, he also pays attention to the news of aliens, sees many photographs taken, and even UFO videos.

However, using "The Law of Karma" can directly draw the conclusion that what you see is 'not an alien spaceship'.

If aliens really exist, there are so-called UFOs, anti-gravity spacecraft, propellers, etc., which are similar to UFOs, and it is normal.

This is mainly because circles are the most common structures in the universe.

No matter whether it is a planet or various fluctuations, most of them are circular structures.

Therefore, the circular structure of the constructed spaceship is the most normal.

soon.

Zhao Yi met the senior leaders.

High-level leaders are responsible for the development of the latest technology. Yixing is a normal operating company, and it is also a domestic company. The related technology development also represents the development of domestic technology. Leaders must care about it.

In addition, Yixing's small spaceship manufacturing is directly related to the spaceship project.

So the senior leaders also came to watch the test. After seeing the sightseeing boat, he expressed the same emotion as others, and immediately asked about the testing plan and progress of the sightseeing boat.

Zhao Yi said seriously, "This is the first sightseeing boat, and it needs six tests before it is actually operated, delivered or sold."

"Our original plan was seven times, but it turned out that seven times didn't make much sense."

"This is the second test. There will be two astronauts operating the spacecraft, and each passenger compartment will carry a small animal, experimental equipment, etc., so that the spacecraft can reach a certain weight standard."

"There will only be two astronauts in the third test, but the passengers will wait until the fourth test. But it is not a formal operation, but some technicians from our company will go up."

"Including evaluators who specialize in testing the comfort of the spacecraft, and several technical engineers, they will inspect and evaluate the internal conditions."

"When the last test, that is, the sixth test, there will be real passengers on board, and I will also experience it at that time."

Zhao Yi said with some anticipation, "Whether it is an anti-gravity thruster, a space station, or any other spaceship, I have never been on it once, but this time I decided to try it, and Xiao and I Sunny said yes, let's go together."

The senior leaders were worried and asked, "Will it be dangerous? Is it too risky?" Compared with the test of a sightseeing boat, Zhao Yi is a thousand times, ten thousand times more important.

If any danger occurs in space, life will be directly and seriously threatened, and it is even impossible to survive.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "I believe in the strength of the space agency and the military."

This sentence refers to not being subject to artificially created dangers.

Now the country has absolute dominance in the space and space fields, and the monitoring range covers all areas below [-] kilometers.

When an object over one meter rises to an altitude of 500 meters, it will be detected in all directions, and the satellite and ground base station will directly lock on it, and the monitoring system will automatically analyze whether it is dangerous.

If uncertain or dangerous, the monitoring system will prompt manual review.

There are hundreds or thousands of people, all staring at the detection system at any time, and will directly use weapons to destroy them if they are in danger. They also have the right to quickly call the Z-wave satellite device in space.

This kind of space detection power is the most important security guarantee.

Zhao Yi continued, "As far as the spacecraft itself has gone through five tests, it will not be in any danger, and we have developed the latest large-scale spacesuit and a temporary emergency compartment, which can resist explosions and radiation. The oxygen and food reserves are enough for a person to survive in space for a week."

"If there is an accident, I think, one week is enough for rescue?"

The senior leaders listened and nodded.

In the past, when there were no anti-gravity spacecraft, the astronauts were drifting in space, and it was impossible to rescue them. They could not even lock their positions. Compared with space, astronauts were too small.

It's different now.

Because of the space detection system, as long as it can be linked with the signal sent by the space suit, the position of the astronaut can be locked, and then the anti-gravity spacecraft will be sent to slowly approach and rescue.

The senior leader thought about it carefully, and couldn't help being very excited for a while. Last time, he said that he hoped to be able to go to space to experience it in his lifetime.

Now that Zhao Yi is ready to go, he is also very tempted to give it a try.

Compared with the importance of Zhao Yi, his safety seems to be nothing!

The senior leader immediately said with some anticipation, "When the sixth test comes, you must tell me in advance. I will arrange the affairs at hand, and I may try it too."

"you?"

"what happened?"

"—Okay!" Zhao Yi thought about it carefully, and there was really no danger. He even had the courage to go to space to see, and it was okay for senior leaders to go up.

For the second test of the sightseeing boat, representatives of many enterprises were invited.

Two days before the test, many people came to the space agency's launch base.

Some of them are representatives of Yixing's cooperative enterprises, some are researchers from various institutions, and some are representatives of foreign enterprises and institutions. The latter is even more numerous than the former two.

This is mainly because some foreign companies and institutions not only sent representatives, but even sent a team.

They are received into the 'Mission Hall'.

There are dedicated staff in the mission exhibition hall, explaining to them the second test of the sightseeing boat and some parameters and performance of the sightseeing boat.

"Our tour boat is around 37 in diameter, a really big guy."

"As you can see, the glass windows have two layers, and the part carrying people inside does have two layers. There are a total of 150 rooms and 274 beds on the ship, which theoretically can accommodate up to 300 passengers."

"There are also fitness rooms, restaurants and event halls inside the sightseeing ship."

"If you want to use a metaphor, a sightseeing boat is like a cruise ship on the sea."

"For this test mission, the lightship will take two hours to go to space, and then it will circle the space for about three weeks, with an average of about six hours per week, and then it will return."

"From return to landing, it takes a total of four hours."

"The task will take 24 hours in total."

Many people were shocked when they heard the parameters of the sightseeing boat.

The most important parameter is the number of passengers loaded. There are many glass windows on the sightseeing boat from the outside, but it is hard to say how many passengers it can carry.

Space Exploration Technology Corporation also has a manned space sightseeing project, and is already preparing to start manufacturing the corresponding spacecraft, but according to the data they released, the maximum number of people on the spacecraft is 50 people.

50 people is still a theoretical figure.

Even the data of 50 people is already surprising.

This is manned into space, and fifty passengers can be loaded in one go, which is already very remarkable.

The number of passengers on Yixing's sightseeing boat even reached 300, which is simply unbelievable. When you see the size of the sightseeing boat, it is understandable to a certain extent.

In addition, what is certain is that Yixing possesses higher and more reliable anti-gravity technology, and the spaceship they manufacture consumes much less energy, which is why they have manufactured a spaceship with a super high number of people.

At the same time, Yixing's manager is also reporting detailed parameters to Zhao Yi--

"The manufacture of this sightseeing boat cost 19 billion yuan, and 3000 million yuan in patent fees and service fees will be paid later."

"In addition, there are maintenance, personnel, etc., expenditures for the space agency, and so on."

"So far, the cost has been about 22 billion."

The cost of the sightseeing ship is lower than expected, because it is the first spacecraft built, and the planned expenditure is about 25 billion.

The manager continued to report, "Our fuel costs for each test are between 280 million and 350 million."

"Back to the ground for inspection and maintenance. There is no major damage. The maintenance fee is between 700 and [-] million."

Next, there are a lot of cost and expenditure reports.

Zhao Yi listened patiently, not surprised by the money spent.

The tour group currently built is only the initial technical version, and most of the main cost is spent on core technical components, electronic systems, compressed materials, etc., while the passenger rooms, facilities, etc. are all using the simplest design.

Because of this, the manufacturing expenditure of sightseeing boats will be relatively small.

Other versions of the boat, both 'Deluxe' and 'Regular', will definitely need to be built if the sightseeing boat is to go into operation.

This is like a cruise ship at sea. Some cruise ships are very ordinary, while others are luxury cruise ships. The manufacturing cost varies greatly.

If you see a luxury sightseeing boat, the manufacturing cost will definitely be very high, and it is even possible to quadruple or quintuple it.

The ordinary type is not low in manufacturing cost, but the number of "carried people" is large. Space tourism is definitely a new market, so we need to work hard to make it a popular market.

In a popular market, consumption must be close to ordinary people.

Luxury sightseeing boats are provided for the rich, and ordinary people can also consume them, so they must have "people-friendly version" boats. If similar boats want to be profitable, they must carry enough passengers.

One thousand is a guarantee.

According to the cost of fuel, materials, round-trip maintenance and risks consumed by the spacecraft, each time the average is more than 2000 million. If you want to operate profitably, the ticket revenue needs to reach 5000 million. Only after several years of continuous operation can the manufacturing cost of the spacecraft be reduced. earn back.

If the number of passengers reaches [-], the fare for each passenger is only [-].

The price is very close to the people.

Because the ticket price of some luxury cruises will exceed [-], [-], or even [-] or [-].

It is impossible for the sightseeing boat to reach this fare in the initial operation, and it is impossible for Yixing Company to operate, unless the market is full enough and there are other companies that buy sightseeing boats to participate in the competition, the fare may be so low degree.

Initially, it must be the most profitable.

The current sightseeing boat carries about [-] passengers. Even if the one-time fee reaches hundreds or tens of millions, many people will rush to take it.

This is not only a trip to space on a sightseeing ship to experience a journey that is difficult to experience, but also a good opportunity to socialize.

Each of the first passengers of the sightseeing boat can be said to be either rich or expensive. Among them, there must be many super rich people. There are not many opportunities to participate in similar exchanges. There must be many people in the world. .

Zhao Yi thought about it carefully, and immediately became more optimistic about the space travel market.

In fact, traveling in space still has disadvantages. When Zhao Yi, several technical departments and astronauts discussed sightseeing ships, they kept talking about 'disadvantages'.

"Our sightseeing ship can circle the earth for one week at most, but if it is really put into operation, three days is already the limit."

"Because space has been in a state of weightlessness for a long time, and such an environment continues, it may have an impact on health, and the experience of passengers is not good."

"Because of this, no operation can exceed three days at a time."

"Two and a half days is the best time."

"In addition, because you can only fly around the earth, there is actually no scenery to speak of. If you look at it for too long, you will be bored."

"I don't think any passengers will choose to go to space for the second time, unless other sightseeing channels can be opened in the future, for example, to other planets, the moon, Mars, etc., but in the short term, it is impossible."

In fact, the most important thing is the problem of gravity. The feeling of weightlessness is indeed very attractive, but in fact, there is an anti-gravity experience hall on the ground, where you can directly experience the feeling of weightlessness.

Space sightseeing is to go to space to experience the feeling of weightlessness, take a look at the scenery of space, and look at the earth from the perspective of the spacecraft.

However, being in a state of weightlessness for a long time will greatly affect the travel experience.

This is where the contradiction comes.

If the journey time is too short, some passengers will consider the issue of cost performance.

However, the journey time is too long, and many passengers can't stand it at all, and the feeling of weightlessness for a long time is not good.

How to solve this problem?

Several managers and technicians of Yixing Company fell into serious thinking.

At this time, Zhao Yi said directly, "I think this issue should be consulted with professional travel experts, rather than us trying to find a solution."

The others looked at each other and nodded involuntarily.

They are a group of technical and financial personnel who think about the travel experience. They are not professionally compatible at all. Professional problems need to be solved by professional personnel!

Chapter 675 Seizing the opportunity is very important!

When a company wants to expand new business, it will definitely need all kinds of talents. The space tourism industry is a new business, and it is a new field in the world, so it must need many other talents.

For example, the company is hiring a space travel experiencer.

This position needs to follow the test progress and go on a sightseeing ship to experience the space journey. The simple understanding is to go to space to sleep, enjoy the scenery, experience the exhibition hall, restaurant, etc. After returning to the ground, you need to write a detailed travel report Experience report.

According to the report of the space travel experiencer, some details, services, and equipment changes will be made inside the sightseeing ship to allow passengers to have a better experience.

Obviously.

There are currently no space travel experiencers in the world, but there are cruise industry experiencers. Space travel is somewhat similar to cruise travel. One is at sea and the other is in space. Then you need to go to the cruise industry to grab people.

There are very few people with similar occupations, and everyone is well-known in the industry. If you want to hire a space travel experiencer, you must provide a very high salary.

After a small meeting with the technical staff, Zhao Yi began to think about space experience. .

In fact, the most important thing about space travel is that you need to be in an environment without gravity for a long time. It feels amazing for a short time, but some people can't stand it for a long time.

Zhao Yi couldn't help but think of a research and development problem - manufacturing gravity.

In many sci-fi movies, the people on the spaceship do not float, but walk normally on the spaceship, as if there is gravity under the spaceship, but in real spaceships, including space warfare, astronauts are always floating, even normal Lives will be affected.
