Chapter 319: The Key to a Thousand New Worlds
Because the two orbital shuttles were officially handed over to the Tianxia Space Agency, and one was to be handed over to the Dubai royal family after the completion of the test, joining the ranks of "deepening tests", so the two were added together, and then the number of additional flights per day would be reduced by one sortie.
It's been two weeks since space tourism was officially launched, but it's far more popular than the Navigator and most people estimated, and for no other reason than they underestimate people's comparativeness.
Especially the kind of rich people who have a little money, and the money is not particularly much, and they are mixed in a small circle.
And these people happen to have the financial power to go to space tourism.
A million dollars is a lot, but it's not much, and for the rich, it's the money of luxury cars and yachts, and they can't even buy a good villa.
At this time, some "group friends" used this money to go to space, and the gap was widened at the level of pretending.
The others looked at it, that doesn't work, everyone is similar, why did you go to space, I have to go to space too!
As a result, this phenomenon is at least three to four times more popular than expected.
According to the previous estimate, even if it is still hot now, it is at least "cooler" than the first few days, but the real situation now is that it is not cold at all, but it is becoming more and more popular, obviously that kind of small circle group has played the backbone of consumption.
Originally, the delivery of the rail shuttle to the customer should have caused a huge reversal, but because of some problems, it did not cause much impact.
At least for the public, it's hard to say whether the top brass in other countries has been affected.
The current situation is that Tianxia has always been low-key, and the shuttle will not be used immediately after delivery, and they will make some modifications that suit their needs.
After all, they don't need to send ten people to space at a time with the driver, after all, even if they are sent, they can't fit it in the Tiangong space station.
Of course, it can definitely be installed, and the Tiangong space station is not small, but there is no point in doing that.
For a space facility of the size of the Tiangong space station, three resident astronauts are the right number, which can reach six people in a short period of time when changing shifts.
The Star Inn can accommodate 12 people, but only for a day, and there are only two service staff when the tourists are not there.
In fact, the two service personnel are not pure cleaning, and it doesn't take more than a day to clean, so they will do some data collection missions and some space training.
At present, Navigator Space does not have full-time space service personnel, they are all cadets, and everything they are doing now is to prepare for larger space missions in the future.
Of course, as a trading party, Tang Chao knew some of the future trends of the Tianxia Space Agency, such as the orbital shuttle they had just gotten, which was modified to be modified, but before that, they would let the leaders go around space.
Just like the slogan shouted by the navigator before, the new stage of the space age is coming, and those who take the lead must go to space to see and change the perspective of the new era, only then can they choose the right way forward and not be abandoned by the times.
As the leader of the Navigator Company, he led by example and went to space to have a look.
Or as an astronaut.
Later, the managers of those small countries and the bosses of other companies also took the commercial flights of the Navigator to space, and there is no reason why the national team got its own aircraft and could not take the leader to space to see.
This point is incomparable with other big countries, after all, the pilot is Tianxia's company, and the orbital shuttle is domestic, although some parts are produced by foreign manufacturers, but all the design schemes and technical indicators are given by the pilot.
Other great powers, especially those who consider themselves to be great powers, will not be able to send their own country's leaders into space with the Navigator's orbital shuttle.
Although it is very appropriate to calculate on the account, it is more appropriate to buy a ticket to space, but in other respects it is absolutely not possible, you must let the leader of your country go into space in a spacecraft designed and produced by your own country!
The biggest bottom line is that some parts from other countries are used on the spacecraft.
Of course, there may be a faceless and skinless goods here, "made in all countries" things are stunned to say that they are "domestic", that is no way, it is estimated that according to its statement, even if all things are done by other countries, their own workers go up to screw a screw, that is also a domestic horse!
But in any case, looking at the current international situation, other countries' orbital shuttle-level spacecraft, not to mention how much performance they have, similarly, they can achieve single-stage orbit, wings, and finally horizontal landing, which should blow out in the next two years.
The adventure star on Merriken's side has already begun testing, and similar flying machines from Maozi and Europa are being developed and manufactured, and the progress is fast, and the completion of cutting-edge technology is very high.
Especially on the Europa side, they dare to get rid of Merrican and do it themselves, which shows how confident they are in their own technology.
Someone smiled reassuringly at the back, too.
In addition, the reason why the news of the shuttle delivery is not so hot this time is because there is a bigger news now.
The next day, it was the virtual reality headset launch of Navigator Technology.
So far, the outside world knows the usefulness of the virtual reality helmet from Tang Chao's mouth, which can be used to play games, socialize, study, conduct simulation experiments, etc., it is the key for human beings to enter the "second world".
And this "second world" also represents thousands of worlds, so it also represents all possibilities.
It's just that until now, people didn't even know its official name, only that it was a real virtual reality device.
Of course, the name is not so important, what matters is its ability.
With the excitement of the whole world, the time came to the next day.
The guests and reporters entered the venue in an orderly manner, and the place was in the press release center of the Navigator Group, where several companies were together, so the group headquarters would also do the work of managing and providing a large venue.
Not to mention the media reporters, the larger ones at home and abroad have been invited, and the guests are interesting.
In addition to those well-known electronic product evaluators at home and abroad, the rest is time to test the bloodline.
People who have followed the Navigator company, space passengers, company partners, etc., are all within the scope of the selection of invitations.
And if you don't get selected, you can only watch it online.
The previous press conference, people who didn't go to the scene didn't feel anything, like those mobile phone press conferences, game press conferences, new car press conferences, etc., at most a little regrettable, but this time is different, it is an epoch-making product press conference.
The most important thing is that this time there is a live trial and a live physical lottery.
That is, the virtual reality helmet will be drawn on the spot, and there will be several lucky draws in the process of the press conference, and the virtual reality helmet will be given on the spot.
Of course, there are also lottery draws for those who watch the live broadcast, but because the first batch of virtual reality headsets is really limited, the live broadcast lottery can only be a lottery purchase quota plus coupons of different denominations.
That is to say, most of the people who went to the scene actually watched the live broadcast area on the Internet, and only the European emperors among those European emperors were the most enviable.
But at least the chances of people who are on the scene are much greater, and the chances of people watching live webcasts are not so great.
Lu Jie is happy with the current situation because he ...... I won the lottery again, and the lottery came to the press conference.
All around were high-spirited people, chatting while waiting for the launch to begin.
"I don't know if it will draw me when I try it out on the spot, I'm so nervous, I haven't been so nervous when I went to space before."
"Who knows, if you can't draw it, you can buy it, Tang Chao said that the price is not as expensive as we imagined."
"I listened to him, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to buy it now, he also said that the first batch is relatively small, and it may not be able to be bought."
"That's a problem, this kind of helmet is too rebellious, and there must be many people who want to buy it."
