Chapter 218: Follow the Trend [Ask for Subscription]
Economy class is the most affordable, the most cost-effective, suitable for the public to travel, anyway, the speed of the flying rail is fast enough, faster than the plane, it doesn't take much time at all, and it will arrive at the station after a little while.
The seat distance in economy class is much wider than that of an airplane, the standard of the aircraft is 18 inches, that is, 45.5 centimeters, but the flight rails are spaced 50 centimeters apart, which is 4.5 centimeters more than the aircraft, which is enough for passengers to sit comfortably.
The third cabin is the largest, with an inner diameter of 15 meters, and seats are arranged in each row in a 3-5-5-5-5-2 configuration, with five 0.5-meter-wide aisles in between, which means that there are 25 seats in a row.
As for the spacing between each row, the standard of the aircraft economy class is 29-30 inches or 31-32 inches, which seems to be a difference of one or two inches, but the user experience gap is huge, especially for those long legs, the spacing is too small, they will be very uncomfortable.
The spacing of the capsule train selection is the maximum, close to 32 inches, which is 80.6 centimeters, so the third level of economy class has 62 rows, according to 25 people per row, a total of 1550 people, while the second and fourth levels are the same, slightly smaller than the third level, with one seat on each side, each level can carry 1426 people, and the three cabins of economy class alone can carry 4402 passengers.
Business class can carry 900 passengers, first class can carry up to 300 passengers, and a capsule train would have 5,602 passengers if fully loaded.
The speed is 6 times that of the plane, the passenger capacity is 20 times that of the plane, and the ticket price is much cheaper than that of the plane, the current price is 0.15 Tang yuan per person per kilometer, which is about 0.51 yuan when converted into soft sister currency.
This is the change brought about by the advancement of technology.
"This is the capsule train? It's really big, looking at the video and renderings is far less shocking than seeing the real thing. ”
"You see, there are no wheels, and they are levitating, so no wonder they can drive so fast?"
"I knew this before, after all, it is a vacuum pipeline, in fact, all the major countries of this technology have researched, and they have all achieved certain results, but it has not yet entered the implementation stage, and the volume is not as large as this, and the speed is not as fast as this, and it is already behind an era before it comes out. ”
"Amazing, the technology represented by such a large capsule train is not simple, it is worthy of getting the amount of alien technology, it is impossible for other countries to manufacture it, if our country wants to introduce flying iron, I am afraid the cost will be very high." ”
"Our country is small and we don't need such a fast flying rail, it is suitable for international routes or countries with a particularly large land area like China. "When I came to the site, everyone saw the behemoth in front of them, and they were all impatient.
Even the Great Elder couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really a powerful weapon of the country." ”
Li Quan echoed: "The future is the era of flying iron, and the distance between people will become shorter. ”
The Great Elder nodded silently and did not answer Li Quan's words, looked at the layout of each floor from the bottom to the top, and finally came to the topmost first-class cabin with Li Quan, the first-class cabin is all important people, everyone else is in the business class, and there is basically no one in the economy class, except for a few curious people who sit over.
"It's gone. "Many of the reporters who accompanied the tour pointed their cameras directly at the speed display.
"It's so stable, except for the moment when it starts, the acceleration behind is not very obvious, and there is no mechanical sound in the carriage except for the sound we make. "There was a lot of talk in the business class.
Inside the first class cabin on the top floor.
"This one is really quiet. The Great Elder sighed.
"Yes, the walls of our most capsule compartment are soundproofed, and the pipes are vacuum, so there is no friction sound, so it is normal that the sound is very small. ”
After less than half an hour, the speed reached the maximum safe speed of 5000km/h, yes, this is the safe speed, not the limit speed, the specific limit speed is unknown, because the test reached a maximum of 6000km/h, there was no accident, but when it was built, the theoretical maximum speed was 6500km/h.
"Look, the speed has reached 5000km per hour, it's really fast, this is more than Mach 4 speed, you must know that in addition to the Suzaku fighter, the cruising speed of the fastest American F-22 has just been supersound, and the maximum flight speed of the F-22 at high altitude is less than Mach 3, and the faster ones are basically drones, we are not the first people in the world to get on the world's fastest train, everyone comes to take a photo, and it may be recorded in the annals of history in the future. A reporter suggested.
"Yes, yes. This proposal was approved by many people.
Unlike airplanes flying in the sky, which will be subject to atmospheric drag and cause turbulence, the capsule train has now begun to move forward at a constant speed, and the inside of the carriage is very stable, and there is no difference between standing on flat ground as usual.
About 2.5 hours, half an hour to accelerate, half an hour to decelerate, 1.5 hours to move forward at a constant speed, the train slowly stopped at Chang'an Station on Chang'an Island, and the passengers reluctantly got off the train.
"It's too fast, it usually takes at least ten hours to come to Nuvoton by plane, but it's only two and a half hours, and I hope that the flying rail can be popularized around the world, so that it will be much more convenient to travel to and from all over the world." Someone sighed.
When Li Quan got off the train, many representatives of many countries came forward to greet him, hoping to be able to build a flying iron in their country, or pass by their country after the meeting to build a flying iron.
"Everyone be quiet, let's talk to the Ministry of Commerce about this matter, I don't care about this matter. Li Quan explained.
Li Quan is the king, and he didn't just come to the New Tang Dynasty, he had no one to do, so he could only do everything himself, and now the country is getting bigger and bigger, getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more things, if you do everything yourself, then you won't be tired to death.
When the delegates of various countries heard this, they were very familiar with the current affairs, and although they were very anxious, they still listened to Li Quan's words.
"Li Quan, no matter how many orders you receive, but what you promised us in China can be given priority, but I said in front of the people of the whole country that it will be completed within five years, if it can't be completed, I will be slapped in the face at that time, haha. The Great Elder joked.
Li Quan also found that the Great Elder's attitude towards him was changing little by little, from the initial treatment of the junior to the current treatment of the juniors, and he felt that it was good to get along like an old friend.
"Great Elder, don't worry, with the efficiency of our New Tang Dynasty, it will be completed in less than five years, and it will be completed within three years. Li Quan assured.
"I believe, I've heard that this long-term line, you directly used robots to build, otherwise it would not be so fast, I didn't expect you all to enter the era of robots, we, no, the world is lagging behind again. The Great Elder said.
Li Quan didn't quite understand what the Great Elder meant, so he changed the topic and said: "This is also something that can't be helped, the Great Elder knows, the total population of Xintang is less than 10 million, excluding the old and the young, the real male young and middle-aged people are actually only more than two million, and if they don't use robots, many positions will be vacant." ”
"And in the future, mechanized and repetitive labor will definitely be replaced by robots, and humans only need to give full play to their own strengths, be responsible for creativity and command the work of robots, after all, what is different from human beings is thinking. ”
"Nowadays, human thinking has been suppressed by heavy repetitive work, and in the long run, human thinking will become rigid and innovative thinking will become less and less, which is not conducive to the progress of the world. ”
"You're right, I've also thought about promoting automation across the board and replacing repetitive labor with machines, but China is too big, and some areas haven't even been lifted out of poverty, so what will they do if they go straight into the era of intelligence?" said the elder.
"That's the case, but the wave of intelligence has come to our feet, this is the general trend, not human can change, try to block only lag behind people, there is nothing bad about the popularization of automation, human adaptability is very strong, when the time will definitely re-find their respective positioning, but it takes a period of pain. Li Quan said.
The Great Elder didn't answer, just shook his head, and Li Quan didn't continue to say anything, he knew how could the Great Elder not think of this, but sometimes it's one thing to think about it, and it's another thing to really do it.
China is so big, if it causes large-scale unemployment all at once, it is very likely that there will be turmoil, which is absolutely not allowed by the upper echelons, so it can only be slowly changed through the big hand of the state and carry out deepening reforms.
This is known as easier said than done.

Daming Palace in Chang'an City.
Li Quan has just finished handling government affairs and is accompanying Zhang Yan and his children in the Lizheng Palace, which has become one of his daily jobs, he doesn't want to miss every day of his children, after all, children grow up too fast.
I went abroad for less than half a month before, and when I came back again, my son had changed a little, and he was not as close to him as he was at the beginning, but fortunately, he has been with him these days, and his son has begun to rely on himself again.
Therefore, the most affectionate thing is companionship, otherwise no matter how close the relationship is, even family affection, if you stay away for too long, it will gradually become strange.
