This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 272 Joint Space Program Press Conference

The new year has arrived, and people are immersed in the fast holiday of Heping 83, but all they are talking about is Practical Technology Aerospace Company’s decision to commercialize the Wooden Kite.

A week has passed since Lucky’s space trip, and while people are still reminiscing about it, on the first day of the new year, Practical Technology Aerospace Corporation announced the date of the official commercial operation of the Wood Kite——January 1.

In addition, there is price, which is also of great concern to people.

Naturally, practical technology will not disappoint people. The standard price for space tours in the first phase is 1000 million star coins per ticket, and 200 million federal coins for foreign customers.

Don't look at such a large number, but compared to the current cost of other manned spaceflights, this is already as cheap as the price of my hometown.

After all, the price of a ticket for the Crew Dragon spacecraft, which is known as the cheapest, is as high as 5500 million federal coins, which is equivalent to several hundred million Star coins.

Such a comparison completely puts all the "friends" in the field of manned spaceflight on the ground.

This fare... The Federal Space Agency almost couldn't bear to tear up Emalon's contract, and instead purchased the manned launch service of Practical Technology Aerospace Corporation.

This is so fucking cheap!
The cheap ones are fake.

Not to mention the design cost and manufacturing cost of the Wooden Kite aerospace plane, nor the various maintenance costs. Just talk about the preparation cost of liquid metallic hydrogen. The money collected for this flight is not enough to pay for fuel, right?

Is this a bluff of practical technology, or do they have a way to prepare liquid metal hydrogen at a low cost?
They couldn't figure it out. Although the agents of the secret service mission would send back some confidential information from time to time, judging from the later situation... they felt that it was not that confidential.

Very annoying!
But in any case, in the end they refrained from going to Practical Technology Aerospace to buy manned launch services.

Of course, it’s okay not to hold back, because this kind of matter is actually out of their control, they have to listen to their superiors.

In fact, some people are tempted at the top, because the top is divided into many interest groups. If they can contract the manned launch service of practical technology, and then sell it to the Federal Space Agency at a higher price, they will definitely make a lot of money.

After all, the single ticket price of the Wooden Kite is only 200 million federal currency. Even if there is an open bidding with the manned dragon spacecraft, the single ticket price of the manned dragon can be reduced to the theoretical 2000 million federal currency, and they can still use 1900 million federal currency. Quotation to win the order, and then earn nearly 10 times the profit.

Unfortunately, they can't do that because it's not a purely economic account.

But just because they can't, it doesn't mean that other countries are not interested.

We must know that there are not a few countries on the earth that have "space agencies" or similar institutions, but there are not many that really have corresponding functions.

Let alone manned spaceflight, they don't even have the ability to launch satellites.

Not even a rocket, not even the smallest rocket.

But the ultra-low ticket price of the wooden kite is really a hope for them.

200 million federal coins can make their country have an "astronaut", and they don't need to sign a messy treaty with the country that talks about "freedom". It's a bargain!
Even countries without a space agency want to join in the fun.

But these are all thinking about buying air tickets directly. The Arab League is different. People want to buy aerospace planes.

In this way, not only can it be claimed that the Arab League has mastered the technology of manned spaceflight, but it can also take orders for space tours in its free time. It can even be used by countries that are not easy to cooperate directly with Fanxing.

Delicious.

The whole country has reacted like this, and netizens who have been shocked all day are naturally even more shocked.

"Damn it, it showed up, it showed up, beat up your friends!"

"Good guy, is this fare free? Can the price of manned spaceflight be so cheap?"

"Is it cheap? There are so many rich people. Anyway, I can't afford it. It seems that I have no chance to travel to space in this life."

"The 'cheap' here refers to relative terms. After all, the prices of other manned spaceflight missions are in the hundreds of millions."

"Well, human spaceflight technology is still developing, and the price can drop to this level is already quite impressive. At least there are many more people who can afford tickets. Let us ordinary people wait slowly, and the price will definitely drop in the future. of."

"That's right. When I was a kid, I saw our country's first manned space flight. I felt that the distance between ordinary people and spaceflight was too far. It's only been 20 years now, and manned spaceflight has become very 'people-friendly'."

"Well, I'm 30 years old this year. I guess manned spaceflight will be really close to the people when I'm 50 years old."

"Wait a little bit, buy early and enjoy early, buy late and get a discount."

"Wait a minute, I noticed a word, what does this 'Phase [-]' mean?"

"The standard quotation for the first stage is probably the situation a week ago. A ticket of 1000 million can fly more than 3 times, and eat a meal in space, a total of 6 hours."

"I know this, but since the word 'first stage' is used, there must be a 'second stage', what is it?"

When people became curious about the word, Practical Technology didn't keep them waiting long, and soon held a press conference to talk about it.

The beginning of the year is the time for major companies to announce their plans for the new year, and Practical Technology Group is no exception.

Let’s not talk about other things. Anyway, there are other branches making announcements. The “second phase” that people are most concerned about is the topic of Practical Technology Aerospace Company.

But this time, Practical Science and Technology Aerospace Company did not start it by itself, but brought in the National Space Administration to hold a joint press conference.

Based on last year's experience, it will definitely be a big deal for Fanxing National Space Administration and Practical Technology Aerospace Corporation to join forces.

The most powerful thing is the previous mission to land on the moon with manned stars. The cooperation between the two is shocking.

So after getting the news, many people waited in full force.

Ordinary people just set a good time and waited to watch the live broadcast of the press conference, while journalists even rushed to the stars to get first-hand news.

On the day of the joint press conference, the venue was packed with reporters, and even this time there was a practical science and technology aerospace company participating, so everyone from the self-media was eligible to enter.

Of course, you have to be invited.

At the press conference, the representative of the National Space Administration spoke first, talking about past tasks and achievements, especially last year's results were quite good, which can be regarded as overfulfilling the task.

But no matter how good the results are, they have passed, and there are still new tasks to do this year.

For example, the second-phase construction plan of the Starry Space Station.

Such as Pragmatic Technology's commercial space station program.

This is not surprising. After the moon-flying spacecraft berthed at the Fanxing space station last year, people also saw that the berths of the space station were tight, and it was appropriate to start the second phase of the construction plan.

Practical Science and Technology Space Company said last year that it will build a commercial space station, and that the wooden kite will be officially put into commercial operation, and "cheap" space tours will also be launched. This year, it is necessary to build a commercial space station and increase space tourism attractions.

Surprisingly, people have no idea how exaggerated these two construction plans are!
