The official signing of the US$54 billion flying car order has had a huge impact worldwide!
After the contract was signed, Emerald Island and the heads of state of the five major Middle Eastern countries officially held a press conference at the newly built flying car manufacturing factory. Major media outlets from all over the world were present and participated in the live broadcast of this event.
Within one year, Emerald Isle will deliver a total of 600,000 Transformer flying cars to five countries!
It can be said that this is a world-class contract!
In addition, the unit price of US$900,000 is enough to rival world-class luxury cars!
In response to this, major media outlets around the world have paid sufficient attention to this press conference and published reports and expert analysis on the incident on their front pages.
"Breaking news! Five countries including the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have reached an order cooperation with Emerald Island. The world's first commercial flying car is about to be born!" - The Sun
"The commercial use of flying cars marks the official entry of mankind into the era of flying transportation!" - The Wall Street Journal
"Behind the 54 billion US dollar order, Emerald Island demonstrates its ambition and strong scientific research capabilities!" - Asahi Shimbun
In this way, under the attention of major media around the world, the news of the signing of this major contract spread widely around the world at an extremely fast speed and produced far-reaching impacts!
This impact is even comparable to the birth of the world's first passenger airplane!
However, for ordinary people, what they care most about is not the amount of the order, but the actual use of the flying car and whether it can be as safe, stable and fast as on Emerald Island.
And this question was soon answered.
On the third day after the press conference, three giant 12-ton cargo ships slowly left the port of Laputa, crossed the South China Sea, and sped towards the Middle East.
The freighter was loaded with 5,000 flying cars!
This is also a sample delivered in advance by Emerald Island, which will be used for a series of flight trials in five Middle Eastern countries and will help them formulate specific traffic regulations.
One has to sigh that these wealthy countries are not only rich, but also have execution capabilities that other countries cannot possess. As soon as the freighter docked, these flying cars were delivered to the first batch of customers.
Of course, these customers are either rich or noble, including princes from major royal families, some national dignitaries, and business tycoons. In short, these flying cars were sold out before they even landed.
Then, the next day, a series of photos showing off wealth appeared on the Internet.
Princes from various royal families posted photos of themselves flying in their newly acquired flying cars, and these photos spread around the world at an extremely fast speed, sparking widespread discussion in the international community.
"Mom, the tycoons in the Middle East are really rich. The price of a flying car is as high as 900,000 US dollars, which is just a drop in the bucket for them."
"Damn, I suddenly want to go to the Middle East to pick up junk, and by the way, I can also watch the flying car air show!"
"I'm so envious. When can I have a flying car?"
"So what if you have it? Our country hasn't formulated relevant policies yet. Bullshit!"
"Ah... our country can't even eat shit as fast as it's hot! Those country parasites eat and drink faster than anyone else, but when it comes to formulating and implementing relevant systems, it's like constipation. Just wait, it may take even ten or eight years!"
"Yeah, it's been two hours since I got off work, and I'm still stuck in traffic! Capital, you're still so frustrated. When will our country be able to introduce flying cars?"
"I agree with the above. My second-tier city is almost jammed! I hope the country will speed up the formulation of policies to solve the traffic congestion problem."
"agree!"
"+1"
"+2"
…
"+10086"
It is obvious that the official commercial use of flying cars will have far-reaching impacts!
Traffic congestion has become a problem encountered by all cities in all countries in the world, and it is extremely difficult to solve. Neither expanding roads nor restricting license plates, nor various traffic controls can solve this problem.
During rush hour, beautiful scenery appears in the city.
As for making plans in advance and expanding roads, it will greatly waste the city’s precious land!
Because the essence of the congestion problem is not the narrowness of the roads, but the problem of the pace of life of the urban population.
Everyone works during work hours, gets off work during off work hours, and rests during rest time, so traffic congestion has almost become an unavoidable problem.
However, the emergence of flying cars has shown the world a permanent solution.
The three-dimensionality of space is destined to have more space than the two-dimensionality of the ground, which also makes the passage of cars more flexible.
In space, the possibility of two cars meeting head-on is almost zero, which means that traffic congestion problems will no longer exist. Of course, the premise is that there must be a series of supporting spatial traffic rules.
Otherwise, the severity of the accident would be incomparable to ground transportation.
Of course, as long as mature air control measures are in place, this problem can be easily solved, as can be seen from the fact that there are very few passenger plane collisions in the world.
I believe that all countries are aware of this. The only problem is that it greatly increases the management difficulty of the transportation departments of various countries. Therefore, this is one of the main reasons why countries are currently hesitating whether to introduce flying cars.
This is even more true for a big country like China.
The population that far exceeds the average size makes traffic management extremely difficult. Therefore, although people in the country are petitioning the government, the upper echelons are still closely observing the situation.
However, as top managers, they cannot completely ignore the voices of the public. So in the past few days, the national transportation authorities have frequently held various seminars and consultations, and convened a group of domestic automobile production managers to let them express their opinions.
After all, the introduction of flying cars is not just about facilitating transportation. More importantly, it is a huge technological change. In this change, whoever can seize the opportunity at the fastest speed will be able to catch the convenient car of the times and gain the upper hand.
Once you miss this opportunity, you will be left behind by the times.
They are well aware of this truth, so even though they are cautious about the introduction of flying cars, it does not prevent them from wanting to introduce this technology, because the birth of flying cars will inevitably be accompanied by many high-tech technologies, and the impact of these technologies will even far exceed that of flying cars!
Therefore, they do not want to miss this rare opportunity to overtake others!
