[Fu * k, is this really just a space station?]
Liu Zhusheng wasn't the only one who was shocked.
When they saw the video released by Celestial Trade and the photos taken by the first passengers in Celestial City, netizens around the world were also stunned by this magnificent space station.
In a certain aviation enthusiast forum in Hua, a member reposted the pictures from Celestial Trade's official website into the forum. The entire forum suddenly became like boiling water in a boiler, and topics discussing this matter instantly flooded the forum. The members who had been messing around on the forum were now seriously discussing the pictures that seemed to have been taken from some movie.
"… Oh my God, did I walk into the set of Star Trek?"
"The set of Star Trek? Idiot, can CG special effects be compared to something that exists in real life?! "
In addition to the meaningless comments, some people also stood up and discussed the set of pictures released by Celestial Trade from a technical point of view. For example, a person who claimed to be an expert in a related field jumped out and posted a slightly technical post.
"Using a ring as a counterweight, the counterweight rotates around the axis at a great speed. Centrifugal force is applied to the rope-like track to ensure that the track is taut. The 'counterweight' itself is used as a living space and centrifugal force is used to provide gravity … The person who proposed this design is simply a genius! "
For this kind of discussion post, when the number of clicks and replies reached a certain level, there would naturally be "industry experts" who jumped out to give their opinions. In addition to those new members who wanted to make their presence known, there were often technical experts who actually worked in the aerospace sector.
For example, a senior member with the ID "Aerospace Private" not only had a lot of shiny certification badges under his ID, but his work unit was also written as Hua Aerospace Science and Industry Group! He was already quite experienced in the forum. In the era when the aerospace enthusiast forum was still discussing Microsoft's "Freedom Lancer" game, he already appeared on the forum.
"Genius is the person who implemented this design. Every time materials are transported to the space station, the position of the center of gravity will change. If the torque of the counterweight is increased and the cantilever rotational speed is increased, the calculation involved will be astronomical. I estimate that even Tianhe-1 would take half a day to calculate! "
As soon as the expert spoke, it immediately attracted countless attention.
"My God, doesn't this mean that the main control computer that controls the space elevator balance system is a supercomputer that is more powerful than Tianhe-1?"
"Aerospace Private" disdainfully laughed at the noobs' comments. As a diehard fan of Future Technology, he typed a few lines of reply.
"Is it difficult for them? You may not know, but the chip used in Tianhe-2 is the Dragon Calvary X1 chip designed by Future Technology and produced by Future Heavy Industries. The brand-new lix architecture, semiconductor-type graphene material, and 7nm manufacturing process … Even the industry leader Intel has no choice but to kneel before it! "
"Let me tell you, the patent fees Intel pays to Future Group are enough to buy several listed companies!"
Speaking of patent fees, Private Aerospace couldn't help but be excited.
Ever since China joined the WTO, China had to pay tens of billions of patent fees to electronics giants such as Intel and Qualcomm every year. Although he wasn't in the electronics industry, he still felt proud for once.
What?
Future Group is not a Han company?
It doesn't matter! It's a Han company, and it's a company that beats Europe and the United States in technology. That's enough!
Of course, only a small number of people paid attention to the technology. Most people were still paying attention to another piece of breaking news. This news was announced on the official website along with the photos of Celestial City, and almost every viewer's eyes were glued to it.
[Celestial City will sign a contract with Hilton Hotel with a building area of 30,000 square meters to build the world's first space-themed hotel.]
Earlier, Celestial Trade announced the price of the space elevator on its official website. The base price of the adult ticket was only 1,500 Xin New dollars before tax! The economy class fares were even cheaper than some airline tickets!
People without money saw the opportunity of space tourism, and people with money saw the business opportunity of space tourism! If Hilton can open a hotel, why can't I go up and sell a pancake?
Although Celestial Trade had not yet opened the ticket sale, everyone's attention had already flown to the beautiful Coro Island.
Almost all the famous travel influencers' Weibo were flooded by the unimaginably cheap price of space tourism. Many of them had traveled across half of the world, but none of them had been to the sky! When they heard that Celestial Trade's space elevator was open to the public, their passion for travel was immediately ignited.
No matter when the ticket sale was open, it was always right to wait on Coro Island.
Just as countless people were planning to travel to Xin, something even crazier happened.
A domestic online celebrity posted on Weibo and fiercely criticized Southern Airlines. It was not because of the quality of service, but because the tickets were all sold out!
"This is the rhythm of madness! I just went to the official website of Southern Airlines to take a look at the tickets, and all the tickets to Xin were sold out! That's right, they were all sold out! Even the first class seats were sold out. The naive baby thought I could grab a ticket, but I didn't expect the tickets for next month to be sold out! "
A stone stirred up a thousand ripples, and countless fans replied to her on Weibo.
"Are you serious? Why didn't Southern Airlines arrange more flights? "
"Are you stupid! Coro Island has a total of two airports, and now the third airport has just plowed a runway. You have a lot of passenger flow here, but other places have less passenger flow? It takes time to apply for a runway! You can't just add extra flights on a whim. "
"Now if you want to go to Xin, you can only go by sea. First take a plane to Xiangjiang or Wanghai or Guangdong and Guangxi, then take a boat to Ange Island. But if you have the conditions, I recommend flying to Australia and then changing to a ship from Australia. It will be faster this way. "
"…"
In addition to those famous influencers, the 1500 Xin New dollar space travel also spread in the circle of ordinary people. Perhaps they had read someone's blog post, but some "artistic young women" inexplicably treated space tourism as a spiritual journey for spiritual cleansing.
However, the space elevator was not the Sichuan-Tibet line, and they couldn't hitch a ride from "kind-hearted people".
So some people posted on Weibo for help.
"Sisters, where is the travel guide for Celestial City? I'm waiting online, it's urgent. "
There was also a cute selfie attached to the Weibo post.
In this era full of kind-hearted people, if someone asked for help, someone would naturally help.
For example, a thoughtful netizen replied on her Weibo.
"You can buy a ticket to Xin first, and then try to see if you can hitch a ride with Driver Jiang. If you can sit in his limited edition Lamborghini, he definitely won't mind sending you to heaven ~ "
"…"
It wasn't only the netizens around the world who were shocked, but also the governments who just finished the United Nations Outer Space Summit. However, they didn't show their shock on their faces and official Weibo. Instead, they worked overtime to re-examine whether they underestimated the true value of the space elevator.
