Chapter 1009: Reload!
June 30th.
The first comprehensive test spacecraft named 'Pioneer 01' successfully took off from the launch site in the Nanfu Industrial Park of Weile Aerospace Science and Technology, and after successfully arriving at the space home port, it entered the newly built No. 2 large space enclosed dock for technical transformation.
Two days later, the Pioneer comprehensive test spacecraft broke away from the dock for space flight testing, and the focus of the test was the 'wormhole expansion energy generator' independently developed by Weile Group.
Previously, Qin Tian spent 20 million energy points to exchange a set for the Monopoly system, but the trick is that a set can only meet the needs of one round trip, and this also causes every time you go back and forth to the planet of Dastan, it is extremely expensive.
However, the road to research has not been easy.
Although the Pioneer 01 comprehensive test spacecraft successfully passed through the wormhole, flew to the galaxy where Dastan is located and returned smoothly, it failed to make a second attempt to return home.
The experimental spacecraft controlled by artificial intelligence itself has to reach the level of a fourth-level civilization, so it is extremely expensive in terms of production materials and processing technology, and the cost of a single ship is as high as billions of yuan, which can be called the most expensive experimental equipment in human history.
However, when such an expensive test spaceship tried to pass through the wormhole for the third time, due to the failure of the wormhole expansion energy generator, the entire spacecraft was quickly squeezed and twisted and then exploded and annihilated in abnormal energy fluctuations.
Failure is not terrible, but what is terrible is that after failure, you are afraid to move forward.
The test spacecraft is expensive, and the wormhole expansion energy generator carefully developed in the laboratory is also expensive!
If you have money, you have to be willful!
Summing up the lessons and lessons, further improving and improving, in order to allow human beings to truly shuttle through the wormhole and achieve interstellar travel, Qin Tian used the opportunity to ask questions to the Monopoly system three times a day to improve the wormhole expansion energy generator.
July 10th.
The two test spacecraft Pioneer 02 and 03 arrived at the space home port, while the Nanfu Industrial Park continued to produce more test spacecraft.
Don't be afraid of losing!
Equipped with an improved wormhole expansion energy generator, the Pioneer 02 test spacecraft was soon put to the test again.
This time the situation was relatively good, two round trips, but when I was about to go to Dastan for the third time, the wormhole expansion energy generator failed to work properly, causing the spaceship to explode and annihilate.
Come back if you're defeated!
Qin Tian didn't believe in evil anymore, and he made improvements and experiments again and again, so he had to extend the service life of the wormhole expansion energy generator.
A single set can only go back and forth two or three times, which is still too little, Qin Tian hopes that each set can make at least 10 round trips, so that the cost of interstellar travel can be reduced to the level that ordinary people can afford to travel tickets.
If human beings can be allowed to travel to the planet Dastan as cheaply as space travel from the ground to the city in the sky, then for the entire human race, it will be called truly entering the interstellar era of all.
On July 20th and 30th, Qin Tian conducted two large-scale test experiments in a row, without exception, the spacecraft was tested until the explosion was annihilated, and through such a crazy research that burned money, he was able to accumulate a lot of valuable data each time, which was not only conducive to improving the technical level of the wormhole expansion energy generator, but also accumulated experience for the construction and use of interstellar ships.
At the beginning of August, the Pioneer 05 test spacecraft finally succeeded in making 11 round-trips to Dastan Planet, and by this day, Weile Aerospace Technology had spent more than 200 billion yuan on huge experimental funds.
If the production capacity of the experimental spacecraft is used to make ordinary spaceships such as Tianyu, Kunpeng or Guangrong and sold, it will make at least tens of billions of dollars.
Therefore, high-tech research is worthy of being a gold-swallowing beast, and all the countries in the world that can play with high technology are all powerful in terms of comprehensive national strength, otherwise who can afford such crazy losses?
But if you pay, you will gain.
On August 18, the last test ship of the Pioneer series carried out the final type test, a high-intensity intensive shuttle wormhole test, and finally on the 22nd attempt, the explosion was wiped out.
At this point, the wormhole expansion energy generator independently developed by Weile Group has finally reached the limit of the manufacturing capacity of the fourth-level civilization, that is, it is safe and usable to make 20 round-trips, and any more will be dangerous.
If you want to achieve more service life, unless you reach the technical level of a third-level civilization, Qin Tian has no ambition to pursue more service life.
August 19th.
The interstellar carrier 'Starry', which has been running personnel and material transportation to make money for space agencies around the world in the solar system, entered the space dock for routine maintenance, and after installing the wormhole expansion energy generator independently developed by Weile Group, it withdrew from the dock and entered the space berth on August 24.
Same.
Weile Space Development Co., Ltd. officially announced to the world that in addition to the Sky City tourism project, the company will open a round-trip transportation route from Dastan Planet, departing from Sky City on the 1st and 15th of each month, and returning from Damei City on the 12th and 26th of each month.
The route will be operated by the starship Starfield, which has undergone a major interior revamp and features two classes of cabins and a large storage bay.
The business class of the cabin can accommodate 1,200 people, while the economy class can carry 3,800 people, and the one-way ticket price of business class is 50,000 yuan per person, including 35 kg of baggage weight share, while economy class is 20,000 yuan, and the baggage weight share is only 20 kg.
In addition, the cargo hold with a total load of 50,000 tons only needs to spend 150,000 yuan to consign a ton of materials, and the price of 150 yuan per kilogram can be described as a super conscience price.
The 'Earth' superspacecraft made an expedition to Dastan Planet, and the price per kilogram of load was as high as 200,000 yuan.
The ticket price adopts a floating system, which will be discounted according to the operation of the route, such as this just opened route must be a discount promotion, so immediately buy a round-trip ticket online to enjoy a nine-percent discount, if you buy a connecting ticket in the space home port, not only the discount is greater, but also will come with a one-night stay in a standard room in the space hotel, which is quite cost-effective.
At the same time as the news was released, various push advertisements were also carried out on the Weile APP software, and soon the new way of travel of interstellar travel was known to thousands of households.
Someone quickly calculated that if you buy a round-trip connecting ticket, taking advantage of the preferential period of the event, a single person only needs less than 40,000 yuan to transfer from the Weile Group Space Tourism Center to the Sky City, and then arrive at Stan Planet Damagnesium City for a walk around and come back.
Interstellar travel is actually cheaper than space tourism back then?
And the temptation is that Planet Dastan does not require a visa and does not have any control, a planet of life that is wider than the earth, even if its ecological environment is not very good, and you must wear chemical protective clothing when you go out, but for people who are rich and like to seek excitement, this is a fart!
Buy, buy, buy!
After the official launch of sales on August 25, a total of 5,000 seats in business class and economy class departing on September 1 were quickly sold out, of which 60% chose round-trip tickets and 40% chose connecting tickets.
A few hours later, the tickets for September 15 were quickly sold out, and those in October and November began to be snapped up one after another.
And in addition to passenger tickets, the interstellar cargo business is also very hot.
The previous five consecutive interstellar immigration operations were free, but some local tyrants just looked forward to it, because they didn't like to stand like a pie to go to an alien planet, and now they were finally willing to take action when the interstellar route was officially opened and operated, and there were conditions for comfortable business class.
No, there are local tyrants who are ready to enter the planet Dastan in a big way and do all kinds of business transactions.
Some want to open casinos and kilns, some plan to open mines and build factories, and some are ready to do some things that can't be done on earth, such as crazy drag racing, crowd carnivals, and so on.
Because in addition to the immigrant city of Da Mei City, there are more than 200 million square kilometers of planetary surface land, which is enough for them to go wild and carnival, and no one cares about organizing a live war because Dastan Planet does not belong to any country, and Weile Group will only ensure the safety and stability in Da Mei City.
Because of this, most of the 50,000 tons of cargo capacity of the starship are occupied by the checked luggage of passengers, including a local tyrant from North America, who not only brought six bodyguards with him, but also consigned a large number of supplies.
Three wheeled infantry chariots, a helicopter, plus a special bulletproof chariot, and a large amount of ammunition and fuel were ordered through the online shop, and when they arrived in the city, they could get supplies outside the city, but ammunition and weapons were not allowed to be brought into the city.
Unlike the local tyrants who went to Dastan Planet to go wild and carnival, many of the people who chose to buy connecting tickets to take the economy class were in the past to pan for gold and make a fortune, they felt that even if many towns on Dastan Planet had been razed to the ground, as long as they were lucky enough to pick up waste and pick up rags, they would probably make a fortune!
Of course, if you rush to buy tickets to go to Planet Dastan, how can you miss reporters from various media?
Many internationally renowned media have sent elite film crews to visit and shoot what the first alien planet conquered by mankind was like, and how the nearly two million people who immigrated in the past lived.
In addition, there is a very special passenger, she is Irina, who has officially resigned from Weile Space Development Company and is about to settle on the planet Dastan for a long time.
Irina traveled to the planet Dastan, which can be described as a reload.
She has brought thousands of tons of smelting and processing equipment with her, as well as various types of industrial robots, and on Planet Dastan, the 'Guardian' intelligent system is already building various machinery and equipment for her.
Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it is stepping forward from the beginning!
With a sneaky kiss and a love word, Irina said goodbye to Qin Tian, and then embarked on a journey.
The vast starry sky, the bright galaxy.
After leaving the space home port, the starship Starry Sky turned into a blue meteor and flew into the distance.
Qin Tian stood at the end of the covered bridge and touched his cheek, Irina's red lip mark was still there, and it seemed that there was still a little residual warmth.
In the embrace, Irina also whispered in her ear, and these words kept lingering in Qin Tian's mind.
"Flowers have a reblooming day, and no one is young. I will always be waiting for you on the planet Dastan!"
Call!
Qin Tian let out a long breath and turned to leave.
Not long after, a Tianyu manned spacecraft left berth 07 and suddenly accelerated back as if falling towards the blue earth.
In the first-class cabin, Su Zixuan glanced at Qin Tian, who was deep in thought, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect you to go to see her off in person, isn't it particularly difficult to give up?"
"Shouldn't this be the case between friends?
Qin Tian smiled slightly, his eyes looked out of the porthole, the scorching morning sun illuminated the eastern part of the earth with a sparkling glow, as if putting a thick layer of blue light on the earth, which was beautiful.
"I'm jealous, come on, my Su Zixuan eats sweet and sour and spicy, but I'm not jealous!"
Su Zixuan's lips pursed slightly, and he was about to enjoy the beautiful scenery of watching the morning glow in space, when he received a text message on his mobile phone.
It was sent by Zhang Xinyu, and after lifting the lock screen and glancing at it, Su Zixuan immediately sat up straight, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared.
"Brother Tian, something happened!"
Su Zixuan turned sideways and looked at Qin Tian with a shocked expression, and showed the text message on the screen of his mobile phone.
"What's wrong? I ......"
Qin Tian turned his head and looked at it, and was immediately stunned.
Dong Jiaojiao was actually kidnapped?
Why did the kidnappers send threatening text messages to Zhang Xinyu's mobile phone?
Which bastard did it? This is simply a challenge to the Weile Group! Blatantly provocative!
Qin Tian immediately pressed down the pager on his seat and ordered the astronaut pilot to return as fast as possible.
Airplanes~
The Tianyu spacecraft roared down, pulling out a long tail of smoke towards the space tourism center of Weile Group......
