It took two hours for the sightseeing ship to officially enter the orbit around the earth.

At this time, the hull of the ship is already very stable, and it is moving in a uniform circular motion around the earth. The scenery outside the glass window has also become beautiful, because the spaceship is rotating slowly. The scenery is very shocking.

Lin Xiaoqing also became more energetic. She pointed in a direction and asked, "Where are we? Is this above the North Pole? It's all white."

"—!!"

Zhao Yi almost vomited blood, and said, "Our orbit deviates from the equator, but the maximum angle is only 45 degrees, and it will pass through the middle of the country. If you ask if it is Nanjiang Province, I think it is still possible."

"What do you mean?" Lin Xiaoqing listened in a daze.

Zhao Yi said bluntly, "I mean, hurry up and learn more geography! Although you are studying science, geography can't be so bad, right?"

Lin Xiaoqing immediately used the waist-pinching method, with threats written all over her eyes, "Who do you say is bad at geography?"

"Ahem, I'm talking about myself." Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, but decided to take it seriously.

"Is that white place the North Pole?"

"Yes, it must be." Zhao Yi kept nodding, with a very serious expression, "Even if it's not, Miss Lin, if you say yes, then it is."

"Pfft!"

Lin Xiaoqing was amused by a sentence.

While they were talking, they heard a knock on the door.

Lin Xiaoqing glared at Zhao Yi, almost meaning, 'It's close, right?I said no, how embarrassing. '

Zhao Yi shouted nonchalantly, "Wait."

After about 5 minutes, he floated over to open the door, and there was a flight attendant floating outside, and said, "Academician Zhao, it's almost time for meals. Would you like to dine in the room or go to the restaurant?"

Zhao Yi glanced at Lin Xiaoqing hesitantly, got a nod signal, and replied, "Let's go to the restaurant."

soon.

The two packed up and went to the restaurant together. The way of walking on the boat was really weird, but the new experience seemed to be good.

They talked and laughed together and moved forward slowly.

They are very adaptable, and they quickly got used to it. They grabbed the handrails on both sides that were specially used to assist in moving, and went to the restaurant together.

The restaurant on the sightseeing ship is different from ordinary restaurants. There are no special tables and chairs, but several automatic machines with prepared food.

There are only a limited number of foods, all of which are sealed and stored, and can be eaten in a "sucking" way, mainly to prevent food from floating everywhere, and cleaning will become a big problem.

The taste of the food is not bad, compared to the normal food, there is definitely a gap.

Of course.

They are already on the spaceship, and the dietary requirements do not need to be too high.

After the meal was over, Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing went to the exhibition hall together. The big screen in the exhibition hall was already lit up, facing the direction of the earth.

Looking at the earth from the big screen in the exhibition hall is much clearer than through the glass window, and the huge earth also gives people a shocking feeling.

Many people are already in the exhibition hall.

When the time is about the same, the music starts to play, most of which are soft music with a certain rhythm and rhythm, which can make people move their bodies along with it.

A large group of floating people swayed their bodies. The scene looked very weird. Many people couldn't help laughing, even the senior leaders. It feels weird even if it doesn't move.

Although the dancing event did not go well, it made a large group of people laugh unscrupulously and formed a very gorgeous scene. Coupled with the background of the earth on the big screen, the result was also very good.

Many people can't help but pick up their mobile phones to take pictures, hoping to keep the current picture for a long time.

After returning to Earth, there will be no similar scenes.

Even those built space experience halls cannot make people completely weightless.

Zhao Yi floated close to the senior leaders, and the two laughed and talked together.

Senior leaders are very interested in the space tour project of the sightseeing ship. He talked about his feeling, "It's still amazing, and it's really good to experience it once."

"Should be a bit boring, right? Besides, being in a state of weightlessness for a long time doesn't feel very good. I miss the ground a little bit now." Zhao Yi said.

"That's true." Senior leaders also felt the same way, "It takes a long time to feel comfortable on the ground, and it's not interesting after a long time."

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "There are two questions now. The first question is that traveling around the world is really boring."

"The second is that during the trip, just stay in the boat, and the time should not be too long, and I think that no one would want to experience a similar trip a second time."

The senior leader thought for a while and said, "The first problem should be easy to solve, right? You have already completed the exploration of Mars. If you build a larger spacecraft like that, you can travel to Mars."

"It's not that simple!" Zhao Yi smiled wryly, "We have to consider the cost. Technically, there is no problem, but if you build such a large hull, you need to open the space cover, have the take-off and landing technology, and the cost is a very critical issue. .”

"The cost of a sightseeing boat of this level will be dozens of times higher."

The construction cost of a sightseeing boat is more than two billion, and tens of times is at least tens of billions. The cost of tens of billions also requires a lot of maintenance fees. It is too difficult to earn back.

This is not a cruise ship with mature technology that can be deployed at will. Once a sightseeing ship goes into space, it takes at least half a month to maintain it when it returns to the ground. If it can go into space twice a month, the frequency is already very high.

Moreover, because of the high price, the market is inherently limited.

Zhao Yi continued, "The second problem is that the journey is too boring. I am thinking that if the moon base is built in the future, the spacecraft can travel to the moon, and tourists can go to the base to have a meal. It will definitely be a novel experience. , can also be regarded as a rest during the journey.”

"However, the best thing is to develop 'gravity' technology. I have been thinking about whether there is a gravity technology that can make the spaceship really look like a sci-fi movie. Everyone in it can keep their feet on the ground."

The senior leaders immediately asked, "Is there any progress?"

Zhao Yi shrugged, "No, I can't find my way at all."

"What a pity!" The senior leaders felt a little regretful.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "What technology should be developed slowly, and the gravity technology is the same, maybe we will find it in the future."

The senior leader suddenly laughed. He pointed to Zhao Yi and said, "Technology, develop slowly? This sentence sounds like a joke from your mouth."

"Don't just say that you have no direction. After a while, tell me that it has been developed, right?"

"Ha ha--"

Zhao Yi smiled and shook his head, "It's really not this time!"

Chapter 6 Your idea is very novel, but it doesn't make sense at all!

The return experience of the sightseeing boat is not good. Compared with the leisurely time when it was lifted off, the return journey seems to be suffering.

Zhao Yi's feelings are like this, he is tied to the chair by two seat belts, and occasionally he feels that he is about to break free from the seat belts and fly.

He and Lin Xiaoqing were next to each other, but they didn't even have the intention to talk, they just hoped to land sooner.

Others felt differently, some felt pretty good, even talking and laughing in their seats, they must have a big heart.

So Zhao Yi found that he was really not suitable for bungee jumping. At the same time, he also found that he didn't like the feeling of weightlessness.

After having this space experience, he decided to stay on the earth in the future, and it would be more stable to feel down-to-earth.

at last.

The sightseeing boat landed on the ground, the anti-gravity system was turned off, and the broadcast reminded everyone to unbuckle their seat belts and pack their luggage to disembark in an orderly manner.

"It's finally here!"

Zhao Yi said with a painful face, "If someone likes this space trip, I must admire him very much. Now I regret coming."

Lin Xiaoqing said with a smile, "You just don't exercise too much, and your body is not good. I don't feel anything, I feel pretty good, if there is a chance—"

"do not!"

Zhao Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "There are many opportunities, but I will definitely not come, unless one day, I can research the technology to create gravity, and it feels the same as being on land on a spaceship."

"Then you have to work hard, I think only you can complete this technique."

Lin Xiaoqing said confidently.

She is proud of her man's achievements, but also has great confidence in his abilities.

"call!"

Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing took the luggage together, followed the big troops out of the sightseeing boat, got off the boat and stood on the ground, he felt a lot more at ease, and had a smile on his face again.

He said to Lin Xiaoqing with certainty, "If there are no accidents, this ship will officially operate in a month. I will book a few tickets in advance and give them to other friends."

"Sun Liang will definitely not be able to escape!"

"Brother Chao will probably like it too, and" he thought for a while, and a name suddenly appeared in his mind, "Li Renzhe! Old Li! Haha, judging by his fat appearance, he must like space travel, so let him come with Huang Wenqian , it is a gift for them!"

Zhao Yi was looking forward to it.

Sun Liang and Xu Chao might really enjoy the space trip, but Li Renzhe would definitely not enjoy it. He probably came here in high spirits and would go back with pain and sadness.

Zhao Yi felt this through his own personal experience.

Of course.

If it is really painful and sad, it is definitely not. Even if the process is painful and sad, it is a very rare experience to be able to go to space.

At least in the short term, it is simply impossible for ordinary people.

Li Renzhe's conditions are also good, but it is obviously impossible to spend several million on a space trip.

Zhao Yi's mood improved after thinking.

A group of people got off the sightseeing boat and could not leave directly. They had to go to the hospital for a special physical examination to ensure that the weightlessness that lasted for more than a day did not affect their bodies.

Fortunately, they don’t need to be quarantined like astronauts, because astronauts are going out of the warehouse and live in space for a long time. They only went to space for one day and never left the closed sightseeing ship. Basically, there will be no problems .

A series of inspections, plus waiting for the results, took more than two hours.

After confirming that there was no problem, Zhao Yi went home with Lin Xiaoqing, all he wanted was to lie on the bed peacefully and sleep soundly for a long time.

At the same time, the fifth test of the sightseeing ship was also revealed. The key point is that Zhao Yi boarded the ship and completed the space journey, and many photos were released, including the photos of Zhao Yi on the spacecraft.

Zhao Yi is the target of the publicity.

Obviously.

The propagandist is Yixing Company, and the space agency also cooperated in releasing the news.

This kind of publicity is to pave the way for the official commercial operation of the sightseeing boat. Directly reporting that Zhao Yi has completed the space trip is the best way to advertise, telling everyone that their sightseeing boat is very safe.

A large number of media have made reports, and many people are looking forward to the official operation of the sightseeing boat.

three days later.

The operation method of the sightseeing boat has been decided, which mainly includes two points. One is the operation time, which is scheduled to be carried out on the [-]th of next month, which is still one and a half months away.

In one and a half months, a series of upgrades and adjustments can be made to the interior of the sightseeing boat, striving to bring better experience to tourists.

Another point is the ticket price.

After a series of discussions and meetings, the ticket price was divided into two prices, one is the domestic 2409 million yuan, and the other is the foreign exchange rate of 40 U.S. dollars.

Soon Yixing Company announced the commercial operation plan of the sightseeing boat, and directly booked and sold domestic and foreign ships. Transactions worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of RMB were completed through escrow accounts.

Yixing company will provide special service personnel for each buyer, track payment, personnel registration and other measures, and the ticket will be directly related to the ID card and passport number.

This is to prevent the occurrence of ticket reselling.

Because the price of the ticket is not expensive, even quite cheap.

In this regard, Musk of the Space Exploration Company has the most say. When he learned about the space travel information of the Star Company, Musk suddenly became much more serious, because he knew about the space travel plan of the Space Exploration Company. In front of the Star Company, It can be said that there is no competition at all.

In fact, space travel has emerged in the international market, and there has been little competition.

The famous tycoons in country M, Musk and Bezos, are competing to enter space with their own spacecraft.

Bezos is even more anxious than Musk. He has already announced that he will enter space in his own spacecraft, and is determined to become the first billionaire to fly into space in an anti-gravity spacecraft developed by his company.

But the first person to set this record was Richard Branson, the billionaire from country Y and the owner of the Virgin Group. The first full-crew test flight.

There were a total of eight passengers and four astronauts on this flight, and the flight time was only half an hour.

The reason why these billionaires are eager to go to space is because they hope to promote their company's space travel plan.

Space travel is a whole new market.

Because of the popularization of anti-gravity technology, many top companies can manufacture advanced spaceships. Some organizations have predicted that the space travel market will expand to more than [-] billion US dollars in just two years.

Now Yixing Company has demonstrated its crushing strength. The sightseeing boat they manufactured has completed five tests. The core character, Zhao Yi, has personally experienced space travel for more than 24 hours.

At the same time, the passenger capacity of the sightseeing group exceeds 250 people, and can even be close to 300 people.

It's almost like a cruise ship in space.

Musk has always felt that his spacecraft is very advanced, but the spacecraft they are building can carry no more than 50 passengers, and the interior space is extremely limited, it is impossible to provide a room for everyone.
