The Technology Tree of Xueba

On October 1, 2025, the National Day, the front of Xinghuo Technology Company was very lively.

A train consisting of more than 10 carriages is suspended in the air. This is the sky train produced by Xinghuo Technology.

It uses more advanced anti-gravity technology, which allows the sky train to fly freely at an altitude of 5,000 meters to 20,000 meters.

The sky train is safer than an airplane. Even if the sky train loses power, it will just hover in the air instead of falling like an airplane.

Zhou Yu hugged Zhou Shengge, and Chen Jin hugged Zhou Hong. They were also preparing to board at the sky train station.

This sky train is a trial operation line. It only takes 5 minutes to travel between Xiong'an New District and Yanjing.

Welcome to take the sky train of China Eastern Airlines. This train is sent from Xiong'an New District to Yanjing without stopping at any station.

Passengers are requested to buy tickets to take the bus. Our company offers weekly, monthly, and seasonal passes. Passengers in need are welcome to go to our company's official website to purchase.

Most of the passengers boarding the sky train are employees of Xinghuo Technology, and a small number of them are tourists who come to Xinghuo Technology to visit and plan to return to Yanjing.

As long as tourists walk into the sky train with smart devices and activate the password-free payment function, the fare for the ride will be deducted directly.

Zhou Yu and Chen Jin also boarded the sky train. This was their first time taking the sky train, but it was not the first time the sky train was in operation.

After nearly a month of trial operation, the sky train has been able to prove its safety. Zhou Yu has seen the test data reported internally, and he believes in the safety performance of the sky train.

The interior of the sky train is very simple, and every seat on it is equipped with a protective cockpit.

Parent-child seats and couple seats are also specially provided in the compartment, allowing two or more people to be covered together in a protective cockpit.

Zhou Yu and Chen Jin hugged the child and sat in their seats. He first put Zhou Shengge and Zhou Hong in the child seat and fixed them.

After they fastened their seat belts, they closed the protective cover of the protective cockpit.

Before Zhou Yu closed the protective cover, he stood up a one-yuan coin on the ground.

Passengers, please fasten your seat belts and close the protective cover of the protective cockpit. Our attendants will check you.

The protective cockpit was suspended in the carriage, and the sky train started quickly. There was no vibration during the whole start-up process, and the one-yuan coin that Zhou Yu stood on the ground did not fall down.

Husband, why doesn't our company operate the sky train itself, but choose to sell the sky train. Chen Jin said curiously.

Zhou Yu explained with a smile: Now the social division of labor is clear, and every company has its own positioning. Spark Technology has never been a service-oriented company.

To operate the sky train by yourself, you need to learn business management from scratch, and there is no considerable profit.

In the foreseeable future, Skytrain will become a public transportation service.

I don't choose to do such a thankless thing, how easy it is to sell the sky train.

Each car is priced at 100 million yuan, and the profit of selling cars is high, which is also in line with our company's positioning.

Skytrain is a fully competitive service industry that complements ground transportation.

The sky train can be regarded as a high-speed rail train in the sky. Like a high-speed rail, it not only has operational attributes, but also undertakes certain public services.

The country certainly does not allow a certain company to monopolize this kind of service, and must introduce policies to allow this industry to fully compete.

In a fully competitive industry, the competition is service and business management.

Spark Technology has always used technology to monopolize the market, and it is simply not suitable for this kind of service industry.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the protective cockpit began to land on the Skytrain car.

We have arrived at Yanjing Station. Passengers, please get off the train in an orderly manner, and don't forget your valuables.

Zhou Yu and Chen Jin picked up the child and prepared to get off the car.

Zhou Shengge waved his little hand, and said in a childish voice, It's so fun! I still want to fly, I still want to fly.

Zhou Hong stared at her small eyes and said, I'm going to see my grandparents and grandma. They all like me, a good boy, and don't like some crazy girl.

Zhou Shengge stretched out his hand from his father's arms, pinching Zhou Hong's small face: Who are you calling a crazy girl?

Shengge, don't always bully your brother. Chen Jin taught with a straight face.

They stepped off the sky train and saw that it was a huge sky train station, and from the time they walked out of the station, there were more than a dozen sky trains going to and from the station.

Chen Jin's mother's home is not far from this station, so they chose to take the sky train.

They walked to Chen Jin's mother's house and chatted on the way.

The sky train has just been put into trial operation, and there are very few tracks, and there are not many cities that can be visited. This is a busy scene, and it will definitely be the main artery for personnel exchanges in the future. Chen Jin said with emotion.

It is not only the main artery of personnel exchange, but also the main artery of material transportation.

Regardless of the safety of passengers, the protective cockpit is canceled, and only anti-gravity equipment and particle electric propulsion engines are kept.

The cost of the sky train is further reduced, and the cost performance of the sky train is higher than that of ordinary railway freight trains, including the funds for rail and tunnel construction.

The sky train does not need to lay tracks, and can travel to any place without hindrance.

This is a very good choice for a country with a vast territory like China.

Laying railways in mountainous fault zones, karst landforms, plateaus, grasslands, deserts and other areas has basically no economic benefits, and it is only to ensure the state's control over the localities.

If this kind of place adopts the sky train, it does not have the disadvantages of ordinary trains at all, but it has the advantages of trains. Zhou Yu briefly stated the greater advantages of the sky train.

Zhou Yu also emphasized: The sky train is an efficient mode of transportation, and the role of high-speed rail in promoting the economy is obvious to all.

The role of the sky train is stronger than that of the high-speed rail. It will definitely strengthen the flow of people and materials in the country, and make the urban agglomeration composed of multiple cities possible.

Chen Jin suddenly thought of something, and asked with some distress: Husband, your company's products are developing too fast, why didn't you learn to hide your clumsiness, squeeze the ordinary technology first, squeeze the profit of a technology to the limit, and replace it with a higher-level one. technology, repeat the process.

The emergence of the sky train does not directly kill the super freight high-speed rail that is undergoing technical verification in its cradle.

The super freight high-speed rail is advanced enough, but the sky train is much more adaptable, the maintenance is simpler, and the investment is lower than the super freight high-speed rail.

It's true, technology develops too fast, and new technologies are eliminated by higher-level technologies before they are officially put into use.

But it is impossible for us to use technologies that have been eliminated, and new technologies can eliminate old technologies. It is because at the same cost, it can exert higher benefits.

Our interests will also be greatly damaged by adopting old technology, which is not worth it at all. Zhou Yu said helplessly.

For the development path of technology, Zhou Yu has been thinking carefully and discussing with the scientists of the scientific research center for a long time, and the artificial intelligence Xianghua has also calculated the development path. This is what ultimately determines the direction of technology development.

However, the actual development cannot be carried out completely according to the plan. A small technological breakthrough may bring about a series of technological breakthroughs.

With more advanced technology, only old technology can be eliminated. Otherwise, more benefits will be lost.

I'm too tired these days, I took a nap all afternoon, and I'll do two more pigeons for another day (︿)
