Super technology leader

Lujie was really going to be over the moon today!

Of course, he had just come down from the sky, because he had just flown from Jingcheng to Jiangkou City.

And tomorrow, he was going to go to an even higher sky!

To space!

In fact, Lujie didn't expect that he could be so lucky as to win a spaceship ticket.

Just before, Navigator Company's orbital shuttle successfully carried out its first manned flight, and both Navigator Company and the magical Canxian Navigator held a lottery event, and the prize was a ticket for the orbital shuttle's successful first manned flight.

Before the orbital shuttle could officially carry people and the space tourism project officially started, it was time for them to redeem their prizes.

Of course, this was the ultimate prize, in addition to the air ticket, there were also some company peripheral products.

After all, to maximize profits, the company had its own peripheral product development company, which was the company formerly known as "Equal Scale Technology", and it was normal to turn some of the company's high-heat products into model toys for sale.

He had thought about winning the ticket before, but he knew his own situation and didn't have too much hope, feeling that winning a peripheral model would be good, and getting a fine model of the Dart would be good even if he couldn't go to space.

Who would have thought that he would actually win the ticket.

Well, it can be called an air ticket or a ship ticket, or even a space pass if you're happy.

As an old ACG high school student, and winning it under the Canxian Navigator account on Bilibili, that's what he called it!

On the day he won the prize, he posted screenshots on major social networks.

"Space pass, obtained!!"

He also @ed the official account of Navigator Company on various platforms.

In fact, he also wanted to @ "Canxian Navigator", but Canxian Navigator currently only has an account on Bilibili, and the same name accounts on other platforms, after verification by the majority of netizens... are all fake.

Some accounts used to deceive people have been blocked by netizens.

And also because Navigator Company's power is getting bigger and bigger, major platforms have marked this nickname, unless you can prove your identity, otherwise this nickname will not be registered successfully.

Only things like "Canxian Leading Works", "Sub-Star Navigator", and "Cutting Star Navigator" will appear.

The fighting power of netizens is that strong!

Lujie straightened his hair in front of the glass next to him, and then walked towards the terminal exit with a swagger, holding a camera.

By the way, this camera was also won in a forwarding lottery.

While others were envious of his full European aura, he was the only one sighing.

"Alas, I also bought a gimbal and several spare batteries in order to use this camera, it's too much of a loss."

"If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have had any need for this and wouldn't have spent this money."

Because of these two sentences, his roommate almost strangled him to death.

Fortunately, the company that gave the prize this time was very generous, not only giving a space pass worth millions of dollars, but also covering air tickets and accommodation.

Actually, thinking about it, millions of dollars have been spent, so they don't care about that little bit of air ticket money, and even the accommodation is in the company.

They have to stay at Navigator's Space Center for one night before entering space, and the medical center there will give them a simple physical examination.

The same is true for the return, they will also have a physical examination after returning.

All these expenses are covered.

This couldn't help but make him exclaim at the terminal exit: "Navigator is awesome!"

He exclaimed, and exclaimed a girl.

Or rather, he only noticed a girl standing not far in front of him after he exclaimed.

Looking at her appearance, she was still a foreign girl.

With golden hair, fair skin, blue eyes, and three-dimensional features, she was quite beautiful and very much in line with his aesthetics.

It's just that she seemed a little anxious, and was constantly rummaging through her bag.

For some inexplicable reason, he walked over.

Let me state in advance, he just wanted to let foreign friends see the enthusiasm of the Tianxia people, not because the other party was a girl, and also so beautiful.

He didn't know which country she was from, and subconsciously used fluent English.

He always got close to full marks in high school English exams.

"Hello, WWWWW...What can I do for you?"

"Ah?"

The foreign girl who was rummaging through her bag was startled by this greeting, and looked at Lujie with a jolt.

A Tianxia teenager, wearing glasses, very handsome, a little thin, probably in his teens.

"Hello, I can speak Chinese, I am a student at the Language University."

"Ah?"

Lujie was also startled, but when he thought that his English was showing off to such a good-looking foreign big sister who spoke Chinese so well, he blushed instantly.

Compared to the blushing Lujie, the foreign girl was much more generous, she stretched out her hand and said: "Hello, my name is Greta, it is my transliteration, and also my Tianxia name."

The foreign big sister took the initiative to introduce herself, Lujie secretly calmed his mind, and imperceptibly took a light breath and reached out his hand.

"Calm down, can't lose the Tianxia people's face!"

"Hello, my name is Lujie, I am a high school student, I saw that you seemed very anxious just now, do you need help?"

Speaking of this, Greta didn't care about this nervous, thinking of pretending to be mature, but somewhat cute Tianxia little brother, and said a little annoyed: "Hey, I remember I brought several spare batteries, but I couldn't find one just now!"

"It's all my fault, I was simply overwhelmed by luck, I only thought about going to space, maybe I forgot when I was packing," she scratched her head in distress, took out her camera and showed it to Lujie, "No wonder I felt something was missing when I went through security before."

"What? You're going to space too?!"

Lujie grabbed the point.

"Yeah," Greta also grabbed the point, "You too?"

"Yes," Lujie nodded quickly, "Navigator?"

"Yes!"

Greta also nodded quickly, while the annoyed and puzzled expression gradually turned into surprise.

"Lottery?"

"Yes!"

The two saw the surprise on each other's faces, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

They looked at each other in surprise for seconds, Lujie looked at the camera in Greta's hand, and suddenly thought of something, quickly rummaging through his bag.

"In order to match the free camera I got from the lottery, I also bought several spare batteries! Her camera should be the same model as mine, it should be usable."

"Found it," after flipping through it twice, Lujie quickly found the extra battery, "See if it's the same model, can it be used?"

"Oh, it's the same model, it can be used, thank you..."

By the time they actually walked out of the terminal exit, they were already chatting very happily, after all, they were European emperors who jumped out of thousands of troops, and they had just met in that way, which was a very big fate.

Navigator Company not only covers food, accommodation, and going to the sky, but also provides a car, they walked to the exit and saw Navigator Company staff holding signs to pick up people.

Since their tickets were on the same day, in addition to the two of them, there were a few others, they needed to wait a while, after everyone else came out, the two exchanged contact information.

The lucky team has people from all walks of life, they even saw an old man, and when they asked his age, oh my god, he was 79 years old!

Although he looked in good shape, they didn't know if he could pass the examination and then enter space.

Not only were they surprised, even the reporters were surprised!

In fact, from the moment they came out of the terminal exit, they had been targeted by reporters.

Space tourism is based on people's ideal of traveling in space, and going to space to travel provides people with an unprecedented experience, the most novel and most exciting thing is to enjoy the beautiful scenery of space, and at the same time enjoy the taste of weightlessness.

And these two experiences can only be enjoyed simultaneously in space, it can be said that "this scene should only be in the sky".

Professional space missions are scientific research missions, and going to space tourism is purely a commercial activity.

But developing space tourism is not just about letting ordinary civilians experience space life, it also has important significance!

For example, the income from space tourism can be used to continue to develop the aerospace industry, ensuring that the expensive source of funds is not limited to government funding, and accelerating the development of human aerospace technology.

It can also allow ordinary civilians, especially individuals with strong economic strength, to better understand the importance and superiority of the aerospace industry, and enable them to participate in it with their limited capabilities.

Since space travel is aimed at civilians, it is more in line with the requirements of human entry into the universe in the future, and in space travel, experts can use this opportunity to study the difficulties and troubles encountered by human migration to space.

Therefore, space travel is not just a luxury consumption for a few people, it has a very important and far-reaching significance for human aerospace.

The space tourism project has been around for twenty years, but at that time, the only place that could achieve orbital tourism was the International Space Station, and the "transportation" for tourists to and from the space station was mainly the Maozi's "Union" spacecraft and the American space shuttle.

And the unit price of that kind of tourism was more than 20 million US dollars.

So from the beginning to the end, only less than ten "tourists" have experienced the space tourism project.

And some people think that their space journey is not a real space tour, after all, they are riding the national team's spacecraft, occupying the quota of the national team's scientific researchers, and going to the scientific research space station.

So it's like going to "add trouble" to the scientific researchers, or the scientific research space station has limited funds and is struggling to make money.

Later, the project was cancelled for various reasons, but people's enthusiasm for space tourism has not diminished.

However, no matter how high the operators or consumers expect the prospects of space tourism, if space tourism is to become people's next tourist destination, it must overcome several hurdles.

The cost of 20 million US dollars for orbital flight makes space tourism only a "club for the rich", therefore, reducing costs is the key to expanding the space tourism market.

And it can't be that kind of "pseudo-space tour", such as parabolic flight of airplanes, high-altitude flight close to space, suborbital flight, etc., that kind of "space tour" is cheap, the cheapest is only a few thousand US dollars, but that is not real space tourism!

Also, the safety risks of space flight cannot be ignored.

After all, in the process of space tourism, tourists' bodies must be able to withstand the huge noise, vibration, overload and other tests of the rocket launch.

At the same time, they must be able to withstand strong radiation, long-term weightlessness and other conditions, improving the comfort of the carrier is also an important factor in developing space tourism.

Speaking of which, this is also a kind of "high quality and low price" requirement.

Many experts have analyzed that if the space tourism market is to reach a certain scale, the price must be reduced to between 50,000 and 100,000 US dollars each time to be accepted by the public.

Reusable spacecraft have opened up an economically feasible way to send more civilian visitors to space.

So, after several companies' experiments failed, Navigator Aerospace's Dart orbital shuttle was born!

Although the price of each flight has not yet dropped to the price of 50,000 to 100,000 US dollars, it has dropped from 20 million US dollars directly to the million-dollar level, which is already a huge leap.

Although the realization of space tourism still faces many problems, people still believe that with the development of space technology, in the near future, space tourism "popularization" will become a reality.

With the progress of science and technology, space tourism will get closer and closer to us, in the near future, human rocket launch capabilities will gradually increase, various new spacecraft will also be born, the comfort of ascent will also be greatly improved, and with the increase in carrying capacity, large-scale space travel will also be realized.

Scientists have long planned to launch artificial celestial bodies into space, and huge artificial celestial bodies can be used for space migration, but there are still many problems that have not been solved.

With the progress 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 before that, mankind's first real space tourism must be successful.

Therefore, this free space trip for European emperors, and it's also during the New Year's holiday, has attracted a lot of attention!

Astronauts have to learn to operate spacecraft, and all tourists have to do is follow the astronauts' orders and not cause trouble for the astronauts who serve as "tour guides", so they do not need to undergo strict and systematic training.

Although the technical requirements for space tourists are not high, there is one condition that is necessary, and that is a healthy body.

So they were surprised when they learned that the old man was 79 years old.

So far, the oldest astronaut in the world who has entered space is an American astronaut, who was 77 years old when he entered space.

Although it looks similar, considering the natural physical differences between races and the professional differences between the two sides, it is obvious that the American astronaut who has a military career is stronger.

And now this old man is a retired teacher, it is said that he usually does not exercise much, and he has a strong scholarly air, now he can only be said to be in good health, not strong.

Originally, Navigator had accommodated and could transfer the ticket to his family, and his family could also use his quota for space travel, but I didn't expect the old man to be stubborn, and he had to go to space himself.

"Our future is the sea of stars, I also want to go to space to see, this is my own ticket, if you want to go, go buy it yourself or win it in a lottery!"
