Chapter 345 Selling Spaceships

The earth has entered a new pattern, and future technology companies have also entered a new pattern.

As the spacecraft returned one after another, asteroids were transported to the outer space of the moon and became satellites of the moon, waiting for the development of future technology companies. Since the asteroid 241 is still on the way, the most valuable of these asteroids is the asteroid 2011UW-158 with a core of 100 million tons of platinum. Such a large amount of wealth is openly placed in space, making the whole world drool. Every night, countless people use telescopes to observe this asteroid. Stolen home. However, no one dared to think about these asteroids. The spaceship of the future technology company is not a decoration, and the high-energy laser weapon that broke out some time ago destroyed a satellite in an instant. The power is not a joke!

"Hey, if future technology companies and the Chinese government can sell spaceships? I don't have to watch these asteroids every day to satisfy my hunger, I can go to space to capture asteroids by myself!"

Whether they are white, black, or yellow, they all sigh in their hearts. In fact, deep down in their hearts, they don’t believe that future technology companies and the Chinese government will sell spaceships. In their view, space is full of gold and diamonds. Go out and run for a while. A trip is worth billions and tens of billions of wealth. With such a huge benefit, technology companies and the Chinese government will definitely choose to monopolize in the future!

However... they were wrong.

On July 25, 2023, China and Future Technology Corporation jointly released a shocking news. They will hold a spacecraft launch conference on August 1 and officially sell the spacecraft from that day, but the sales target is limited to Chinese citizens. .

Future Technology Company is going to sell 4 models of spaceships. These 4 types of spaceships are a series specially used for sale and are named "Explorer Series". From generation I to generation IV, the lengths are 200 meters and 500 meters in turn. , 1 km, 2 km, the thrust when the power is fully turned on is 1 million tons, 3 million tons, 9.5 million tons, and 21 million tons, and the prices are 6 billion yuan, 20 billion yuan, 50 billion yuan, and 100 billion yuan. .

There are also 4 types of spacecraft sold by the country, and the relevant data is almost the same as that of the future technology company's spacecraft, and even the price is similar.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked, and foreign governments and consortia lodged protests one after another. This is a blatant discrimination. However, future technology companies and the Chinese government are too lazy to respond. How can such a strategic product that can change the fate of the country be possible? What about selling to foreigners?

The Chinese clapped their hands and applauded that they must not be sold to foreigners, and let the Chinese enjoy the delicious cake of space alone. Consortiums in special administrative regions such as Korea Special Administrative Region and Siam Special Administrative Region secretly rejoiced that they are now Chinese citizens, otherwise they would have missed this opportunity to enter space.

Starting from July 25th,

Rich people and rich companies in China have gone crazy. Large private companies like Tencent, Alibaba, and Huawei have mobilized funds to buy a batch of spacecraft. Even companies have registered, such as Tencent Space Exploration Co., Ltd. Company, Alibaba Space Trade Co., Ltd., Huawei (Space) Co., Ltd. The Samsung Group of the Koryo Special Administrative Region and the Chia Tai Group of the Siam Special Administrative Region are also raising funds to join this space feast. The Chinese families who have returned to China are also glad that they just caught up with this wealth feast, and raised trillions of funds with a wave of their hands.

Those who don’t have enough capital, and are unwilling to give up the opportunity to go into space to grab wealth, are looking for partners one after another. You will contribute 500 million, and I will contribute 1 billion. A dozen or even hundreds of people will join forces to raise 20 billion funds and prepare to buy a "ship" They did not invest money blindly in the "Explorer II" spacecraft, but consulted professional scientists and risk assessment experts. After they have an "Explorer II" spacecraft, they can make a round trip between the asteroid belt and the earth in about four months, and each trip can pull back a 20-30 million-ton or even Larger asteroids, even the most common asteroids with iron content of only 10 to 20 percent, can sell for at least four or five billion, and they can pay back their costs in two years. If you are lucky, you only need to go back and forth You can get hundreds of billions of returns. Generally speaking, this is almost a guaranteed business. As for the space is full of dangers, it is not a problem at all in the face of foreseeable benefits.

In the anticipation, the time soon came to August 1st.

Future technology companies are full of voices.

At ten o'clock sharp, the press conference officially began.

The chief was the first to speak, "Everyone, today is August 1. It is a great day. Today, 96 years ago, the Northern Expeditionary Army held an uprising in Hongcheng and fired the first shot of the armed uprising. 96 years have passed. We can proudly say to these great predecessors that we have not let them down, our life is getting better and better, and we are about to start a new era, this era is the space age!

Next, I announce that starting today, the country will officially open space to all people. After passing the review, everyone can buy spaceships and go in and out of space freely! A new era will be opened by you! "

As soon as the chief's voice fell, there was thunderous applause from the audience. Then, Zhang Wei walked onto the stage, motioned for everyone to be quiet first, and then said, "I think there are many people like me who once said, "My journey is a star." Now, this sentence has become a reality. Human footprints have been left in the entire solar system. Even the places outside the solar system have been explored by our spaceships. Next, our goal is the Milky Way , its diameter is generally considered to be 100,000 to 120,000 light-years. With our current technology, it seems that it will never be possible to explore the Milky Way. However, I think that we humans have always been a race that constantly breaks the limit, and there should be no such thing in our dictionary. The three words 'impossible'.

In the life of many Chinese people, when you were young, it was your parents who said "impossible"; at school, it was your teacher who said "impossible"; when you were out of society, it was your friends who said "impossible"; , it is your other half who says "impossible"; when you are old, it is your children who say "impossible". All your life, people around you are saying 'impossible', and all your dreams have been stolen silently like this! When you are leaving, you will suddenly sigh: "I have never done something according to my own will in my life."

Well, this seems to be off topic, in short, please believe that anything is possible! Now let's get back to the topic and talk about the spacecraft.

Regarding the model and price, I will not repeat the introduction, but I will emphasize some things first.

First, because the spacecraft is equipped with a powerful electromagnetic rail gun, and in order to prevent technology leakage, the purchase, use and resale of all future technology company's spacecraft need to be monitored by the future technology company.

Second, if you buy the spacecraft of the future technology company, the resource mined by the future technology company has the right of first refusal. In fact, the state also has similar requirements.

Third, space is full of dangers, and space exploration itself is a very high-tech operation. You must first have an excellent expedition team before considering exploring space. If you enter space blindly, you will not only lose nothing. It may even lead to tragedy. If you are really in danger in space, please don’t panic. Future technology companies and countries will rescue you as soon as possible, and the spaceships near you can also receive your distress messages. "(To be continued.)
