This damn thing is really just a space station
Senior Liu Zhusheng was not the only one who was shocked.
When they saw the video released by Star Ring Trading and the photos taken by the first batch of passengers in Star Ring City, netizens around the world were also stunned by this magnificent space station.
In a forum for aviation enthusiasts in China, a member reposted a picture of the official website of Xinghuan Trading to the forum. The entire forum was like boiling water in a boiler, and the topic of discussion on this matter was instantly wiped out. The members who were originally on the forum about water games also started to discuss the pictures that seemed to be taken from which movie.
“…Oh my God, did I walk onto the set of Star Trek?”
"On the set of Star Trek? I'm mentally retarded. Can the CG special effects compare to real things?!"
In addition to meaningless expressions of surprise, some people also stood up to discuss the set of pictures released by Starring Trading from a technical perspective. For example, someone who claims to be an expert in a related field jumped out and posted a slightly technical post.
"Using the ring as a counterweight, the counterweight rotates around the axis at a very high speed. Centrifugal force is used to exert tension on the cable-like track to ensure that the track is tight. The 'counterweight' itself is used as a living space, and centrifugal force is used to provide gravity... Whoever came up with this design is a genius!”
For discussion posts like this, when the number of clicks and replies reaches a certain level, "industry experts" will naturally jump out to give advice. Except for those new members who want to show their presence, there are usually some technical masters who actually work in aerospace units.
For example, a senior member with an ID named "Aerospace Private" not only has a lot of dazzling certification medals hanging under his ID, but the work unit column on his profile also says Huaguo Aerospace Science and Industry Group! He's quite a veteran of the forum, having been on the forum back in the days when Microsoft's Freelancer game was still being discussed on this forum for space enthusiasts.
"The genius is the person who implements this design. Every time materials are delivered to the space station, the position of the center of gravity will change. If it is offset by increasing the torque of the counterweight and the rotation speed of the cantilever, the amount of calculations involved will be astronomical. I It’s estimated that even Tianhe-1 will take most of the day!”
As soon as the master spoke, he immediately attracted countless attention.
"Oh my God, doesn't this mean that the main computer that controls the balance system of the space elevator is a supercomputer more powerful than Tianhe-1?"
Seeing the novices' remarks, "Aerospace Private" smiled disdainfully. As a fan of Futureman's technology, he typed out a few lines and replied.
"Is this difficult for them? You may not know that the supercomputing chip used by our Tianhe-2 is the Dragoon X1 supercomputing chip designed by Futureman Technology and produced by Futureman Heavy Industries. The new lix architecture, semiconductor Type graphene material, 7nm manufacturing process, even the industry leader Intel had to surrender!"
"Let me tell you, the patent fees Intel pays to Futureman Group every year are enough to buy several listed companies!"
When it comes to patent fees, the aerospace private can't help but get excited.
Since joining TO, in the high-tech field, especially in the electronics industry, China has to pay tens of billions in patent fees to electronic industry giants such as Intel and Qualcomm every year. Although he was not in the electronics industry, he still felt proud.
What
Is Futureman Group not a Chinese company
What does that matter? It is a company owned by Chinese people, and it is a company run by Chinese people who surpass European and American companies in terms of technology. This is enough!
Of course, only a small number of people pay attention to technology, and more people focus on another piece of breaking news. This news was published on the official website along with the set of pictures of Star Ring City, which caught the eyes of almost every viewer.
[Star Circle City will sign a contract with Hilton Hotel for a construction area of 30,000 square meters to build the world’s first space-themed hotel.]
Earlier, Starlink Trading announced the price of the space elevator on its official website. The base price before tax for adults is only S$1,500! The economy class fare is even cheaper than some airline tickets!
People who have no money see the opportunity of space tourism, and people who have money see the business opportunity of space tourism! Hilton can run up and open a hotel, why can't I go up and sell sesame cakes
Although Star Ring Trading has not opened ticket sales yet, everyone's hearts have already flown to the beautiful Koro Island.
The scarves of almost well-known travel influencers are all attracted by this unimaginably cheap space tourism. Many of them have traveled halfway around the world, but they have not yet reached heaven! When I heard that the Star Ring Trading space elevator had opened fare information, my passion for traveling was immediately ignited.
No matter when tickets are open for sale, it’s a good idea to go to Koro Island and wait.
Just when countless people were planning to travel to a new country, something even crazier happened.
A certain domestic Internet celebrity wore a scarf and complained about China Southern Airlines, not because of the service quality, but because all the cheating tickets were sold out!
"This is going crazy! I just went to the official website of China Southern Airlines to check the air tickets. All the air tickets to New Zealand are sold out! Yes, they are all sold out! Even the first class cabin is sold out. How naive! Baby, I thought I could get a ticket, but I didn’t expect that all the tickets for next month are sold out!”
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and countless fans responded under her scarf.
"Really? Why doesn't China Southern Airlines arrange more flights?"
"You are stupid! There are only two airports in Koro Island, and now the third airport has just plowed a runway. You have a large passenger flow here, but the passenger flow elsewhere is small? It takes time to apply for a runway! Add flights! Shifts can’t be added just by patting your head.”
"Now if you want to go to New Zealand, you can only take the sea route. First fly to Xiangjiang or Wanghai and Guangdong and Guangxi, and then take a boat to Anga Island. However, if conditions permit, I personally recommend flying to Australia and then changing to a ship from Australia. It will be faster."
“…”
In addition to those well-known celebrities, the S$1,500 space tour has also spread among ordinary people. I don’t know whose blog post I read, but some “artistic young women” inexplicably regard traveling in space as a soul-cleansing journey.
However, the space elevator is not the Sichuan-Tibet Line, and it cannot hitch a ride on "good Samaritans".
So someone handed out scarves to ask for help.
"Sisters, where can I find a guide to traveling around Star Ring City? I'm waiting online, it's quite urgent."
There is also a cute selfie on the back of the scarf.
In this age full of good-hearted people, if someone asks for help, someone will help.
For example, a netizen with broad ideas replied under her scarf.
"You can buy a plane ticket to New Zealand first, and then try to catch a ride with Driver Jiang. If you can ride in his limited edition Lamborghini, he will definitely not mind sending you to heaven~"
“…”
Not only were netizens around the world shocked, but also the governments of various countries that had just attended the United Nations Outer Space Summit. However, they did not show their shock on their faces or official accounts. Instead, they worked overtime in meetings to re-examine whether they had underestimated the true value of the space elevator. (.)
