Chapter 299: Quotations from the Emperor of Space!
Lu Jie is really going to be high today!
Of course, he had just come down from the sky, because he had just flown from the capital to Eguchi on a plane.
And tomorrow, he will go to a higher heaven!
Go to space!
In fact, Lu Jie didn't expect that he would be able to draw a space ticket.
Just before, the Navigator Company's orbital shuttle successfully made its first flight, and both the Navigator Company and the magical Kanxing Navigator conducted a lottery, and the prize was a ticket for the orbital shuttle that successfully manned the first flight.
The orbital shuttle can officially carry people, and before the space tourism project officially begins, it will be time for their prizes to be cashed in.
Of course, this is the ultimate prize, and there are some company merchandise in addition to the airfare.
After all, the profit is maximized, the company has its own peripheral product development company, which is the company that was originally called "equal proportion technology", and it is normal to sell some of the company's high-heat products into model toys.
He had thought about winning the ticket before, but his family knew about his own affairs, and he didn't have much hope, and he felt that it would be good to have a peripheral model, and he couldn't go to space, and it was not bad to get a high-quality model of a dart.
Who would have thought that ticket would really make him win.
Well, you can call it a plane ticket, a ferry ticket, or a space pass if you're happy.
As an old two-dimensional high school student, he was still drawn under the Bizhan Kanxing Navigator account, and he called it that!
On the day of winning the lottery, screenshots were posted on major social networks.
"Space Pass, Arrived!!"
By the way, the official number of the Navigator Company was also found on various platforms.
In fact, he still wants Aite to be the "Kanxing Navigator", but the Kanxing Navigator currently only has a number on Bizhan, and the namesake of other platforms has been verified by the majority of netizens...... It's all fake.
Some accounts used to deceive people have been banned by netizens.
And because of the growing power of the Navigator company, the major platforms have marked this nickname, unless you can prove your identity, otherwise this nickname will not be successfully registered.
There will also be things like "Kan Star Pilot", "Secondary Star Pilot", and "Star Chopping Pilot".
The combat effectiveness of netizens is so strong!
Lu Jie straightened his hair against the glass next to him, and then walked towards the exit of the terminal with his camera in a step that he didn't recognize.
By the way, this camera was also drawn by him by forwarding the lottery.
When everyone else is envious of him, only he sighs.
"Alas, I also bought a gimbal and a few spare batteries to use this camera, which is a loss."
"If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have had the need for it at all, and I wouldn't have spent the money."
Because of these two sentences, his roommate almost strangled him to death.
Fortunately, the winning company this time was very generous, and not only gave a million-dollar space pass, but also included air tickets and accommodation.
In fact, if you think about it, millions of dollars have been spent, and it is not bad at all that little money for air tickets, and even the accommodation is still in the company.
They spend the night at the Navigator's Space Center before going into space, where they will be given a brief check-up at the medical center.
It's the same when you return, and you will check your body when you return.
These fees are all inclusive.
This had to make him sigh at the exit of the terminal: "Navigator Cow Batch!" ”
sighed, sighed out a girl.
Or maybe he sighed before he noticed a girl standing not far in front of him.
Judging by the appearance, this is still a foreign girl.
With blond hair, white skin and blue eyes, and three-dimensional facial features, he is quite beautiful, which is very in line with his aesthetics.
It's just that I'm a little anxious, and I've been rummaging in my bag for something.
The ghosts and gods were shut, and he walked over.
Declare in advance that he just wants foreign friends to see the enthusiasm of Tianxia people, not because the other party is a girl and is so beautiful.
He didn't know what country he was in, and he was subconsciously proficient in English.
He scored nearly perfect on every high school English test.
"Hello, WWWWW... What can I do for you? ”
"Huh?"
The foreign girl who was rummaging through her bag was startled by this greeting, and a spirit looked at Lu Jie.
A young man in the summer, still wearing glasses, very delicate, a little thin, about a teenager.
"Hello, I can speak Chinese, I am a student at the language university."
"Huh?"
Lu Jie was also shocked, but when he thought that his English was shown to a foreign big sister who was so good at Chinese, he instantly blushed.
Compared with the blushing Lu Jie, the foreign girl was much more generous, she stretched out her hand and said: "Hello, my name is Gretta, it is my transliteration, and it is also my Tianxia name." ”
The foreign big sister took the initiative to introduce herself, Lu Jie secretly calmed down, and stretched out his hand without a trace.
"Calm down, you can't lose the people of Tianxia!"
"Hello, my name is Lu Jie, I am a high school student, I see that you seem to be in a hurry just now, do you need help?"
As soon as he said this, Greta couldn't care about this nervousness, thinking about pretending to be mature, but a little cute Tianxia little brother, and said with some annoyance: "Hey, I remember that I brought several spare batteries, but I didn't find any just now!" ”
"It's all my fault, I was so carried away by luck, I just thought about going to space, maybe I forgot when I packed up," she scratched her head in distress and took out her camera to show Lu Jie, "No wonder I felt like something was missing when I went through the security check before." ”
"What? You're going to space too?! ”
Lu Jie got to the point.
"yes," Greta also grasped the point, "you too?" ”
"Yes," Lu Jie nodded quickly, "Navigator?" ”
"Yes!"
Greta nodded quickly, her look of annoyance and confusion growing in surprise.
"Lottery?"
"Yes!"
Both of them saw the surprise on each other's faces, and they didn't even know what to say for a while.
After looking at each other in surprise for a second, Lu Jie looked at the camera in Gretta's hand, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly rummaged through his bag.
"To match the free camera I got in the raffle, I also bought several spare batteries! Her camera should be the same model as mine, and it should work."
"Found it," after flipping through it twice, Lu Jie quickly found the extra battery, "You see if it's the same model, can it be used?" ”
"Ah, it's the same model, you can use it, thank you......"
When they really walked out of the exit of the terminal, they were already chatting very happily, after all, the European emperor who jumped out of thousands of troops had met in that way just now, which was a very big fate.
The navigator company not only includes food and accommodation to the sky, but also charters a car to deliver, and when they walked to the exit, they saw the staff of the navigator company holding a sign to pick up people.
Since their tickets are for the same day, there are a few more besides the two of them, and they need to wait for a while, and when everyone else comes out, both of them exchange contact information.
The lucky team has people from all walks of life, and they even saw an old grandfather, when asked about age, my mother, 79 years old!
Although he looks in good health, he doesn't know if he can pass the inspection and go into space.
Not only were they shocked, but even those reporters were shocked!
In fact, the moment they came out of the terminal exit, they were already being targeted by reporters.
Space tourism is based on people's ideal of traveling in space, and traveling to space provides people with an unprecedented experience, the latest and most exciting thing is to enjoy the beautiful scenery of space, and at the same time enjoy the taste of weightlessness.
These two experiences can only be enjoyed in space, so to speak, "This scene should only be in the sky".
Professional space missions are scientific research missions, and space tourism is purely commercial.
But the development of space tourism is not just for ordinary civilians to experience space life, it is also of great significance!
For example, the proceeds of space tourism can be used to continue to develop the space industry, ensuring that the expensive source of funding is not limited to government funding, and accelerating the development of human space technology.
It can also make ordinary civilians, especially individuals with strong economic strength, more aware of the importance and superiority of the space industry, so that they can participate in it to the best of their limited ability.
Since space travel is aimed at civilians, it is more in line with the requirements of human beings to step into space in the future, and in space travel, experts can use this opportunity to study the difficulties and troubles encountered by human beings in immigrating into space.
Therefore, space travel is not just a luxury consumption for a few people, it has a very significant and far-reaching significance for the human space industry.
The space tourism program began 20 years ago, but at that time, only the International Space Station (ISS) was able to achieve orbital tourism, and the "vehicles" that tourists could use to travel to and from the space station were mainly Maozi's "Soyuz" spacecraft and the Merriken space shuttle.
And the unit price of that kind of tour is more than 20 million US dollars.
So from start to finish, there are less than ten "tourists" who have experienced the space tour project.
And some people think that their space journey is not a real space tour, after all, they are on the national team's spacecraft, occupying the national team's scientific research personnel, and going to a scientific research space station.
Therefore, it seems to be "adding chaos" to scientific researchers, or the scientific research space station has limited funds and is struggling to generate income.
Later, the project was canceled for various reasons, but the enthusiasm for space travel did not wane.
However, both operators and consumers have high expectations for the future of space tourism, but there are still several hurdles that must be overcome before space tourism can become the next destination.
The $20 million cost of orbital flights makes space tourism a "club of the rich", so reducing costs is key to expanding the space tourism market.
And it can't be that kind of "pseudo-space tourism", such as parabolic flight of airplanes, high-altitude flight close to space, suborbital flight, etc., that kind of "space tour" is cheap, and the cheapest is only a few thousand dollars, but it is not real space tourism!
In addition, the safety risks of space flight still cannot be ignored.
After all, in the process of space tourism, the body of tourists must be able to withstand the huge noise, vibration, overload and other tests of the rocket when it takes off.
At the same time, it must also be able to withstand strong radiation and long-term weightlessness, and improving the comfort of the vehicle is also an important factor in the development of space tourism.
Speaking of which, this is also a "good quality and low price" requirement.
Many experts have analyzed that if the space tourism market is to reach a certain size, the price must be reduced to between $50,000 and $100,000 each time to be acceptable to the public.
Reusable spaceships open up an economically viable route to transport more civilian visitors into space.
So, after several unsuccessful company experiments in a row, the Dart orbital shuttle of Navigator Space was born!
Although the price of each flight has not yet dropped to $50,000 to $100,000, it has dropped from $20 million to the million-dollar level, which is already a huge leap.
Although there are still many problems in realizing space tourism, it is believed that with the development of space technology, the "democratization" of space tourism will become a reality in the near future.
With the advancement of science and technology, space tourism will be closer and closer to us, and in the near future, people's rocket launch capabilities will gradually increase, the comfort of lifting off will be greatly improved, and with the improvement of carrying capacity, large-scale space travel will also be realized.
Scientists have long planned to launch artificial objects into space, and huge artificial objects can be used for space migration, but there are still many puzzles that have not yet been solved.
With the advancement of science and technology, artificial celestial bodies will definitely become a reality, and in the future, a large number of people will immigrate to artificial celestial bodies, and then they will be able to live in space.
But until then, humanity's first real space tourism will have to succeed first.
Therefore, this free space trip of the European emperors is also during the holiday at the beginning of the new year, which has attracted the attention of a large number of people!
Astronauts learn to operate spaceships, and tourists only need to follow the astronauts' orders and not cause problems for the astronauts who act as "tour guides", so they do not need to go through rigorous and systematic training.
Although the technical requirements for space tourists are not high, there is one condition that is required, and that is a healthy body.
So they will be surprised when they learn that the old man is 79 years old.
By far the oldest astronaut in the world to have gone into space is a Merriken astronaut, who was 77 years old when he entered space.
Although it looks similar, considering the natural physical differences between the races and the differences in occupations between the two sides, it is obvious that the Merrican astronauts who have taken a military career are physically stronger.
And now this old man is a retired teacher, it is said that he usually doesn't exercise much, and the book on his body is very angry, and now he can only say that his body is okay, and he can't say that he is strong.
Originally, the navigator was accommodating and could transfer the ticket to his family, and the family could also use his quota for space travel, but he didn't expect the old man to be stubborn, so he had to go to space by himself.
"Our future is a sea of stars, I want to go to space to see, this is my own ticket, you want to buy it yourself!"
