Distant bells echoed in my ears, and the sun loomed below the horizon.
Zhang Yuan came to his seat and fastened his seat belt.
He took a deep breath and tried to get all the bad emotions out of his mind.
Buzz!
After the elevator started, it brought a slight sense of overweight, which made the eardrum roar in his ears.
The structure of Maglev elevator is a bit like a high-speed train standing up. It moves very fast. After a period of acceleration, it moves upward at a speed of about 500 kilometers per hour.
It is estimated that in 72 hours and 3 days, it will reach the location of the synchronous orbit at 36000 kilometers, that is, the "Tenglong" space city.
The cost of transporting materials into space by space elevator is about 10 yuan per kilogram. In order to reduce the transportation cost, the maglev elevator should be as light and simple as possible, so the overall environment can not be very comfortable.
Each person has only one small berth, and tourists need to pay extra for their carry on luggage.
In a few minutes, the elevator came to the stratosphere, surpassing the height of Mount Everest. Through the window, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside.
At this height, a panoramic view of Xisha city comes into view. All kinds of beautiful traffic tracks are like blood vessels in the city, and moving cars are like flowing blood.
This international port city is running day and night.
Anyway, being idle is boring. Zhang Yuan simply chatted with Li Zhendong.
Li Zhendong frowned and said, "I received a notice a few days ago that everyone should look for some work items as a consideration of comprehensive achievements, as well as various work grade systems. Equivalent to the rank in the army. "
"We astronauts have gone to heaven and have to generate income for the foundation... This is naked exploitation!"
While brushing calculus on his mobile phone, Zhang Yuan retorted, "you can also eat and die and do nothing. Anyway, as long as there are basic posts in the spacecraft, there will be wages. You won't die of hunger. If you really want to starve to death, you can apply for hibernation. "
"I have 100000 new coins now, which may be the richest one on the ship. A boxed lunch costs only 4 yuan, enough for me to eat for a long time."
The conversion between federal currency and new currency is about 100:1.
S $100000, according to the salary of 1000 a month, you have to work for 8.3 years.
Li Zhendong stared. Seeing that Zhang Yuan was feverishly brushing calculus again, he was speechless.
Zhang Yuan donated 10 million federal dollars at the award ceremony and sprayed with reporters, which caused a sensation. He must know.
At that time, I wondered for a long time that Zhang Yuan met such a forced occasion and let him pretend perfectly
"You are such a big dog. When will you treat me to dinner?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "OK, I'll treat you to synthetic meat as much as you want. In fact, money is not very useful, at least not for the time being. I can't eat the food shared by two people. I carry a lot of electronic products in my luggage, and I don't need to buy anything else... "
Li Zhendong said strangely, "you only brought electronic products? I also brought some seasonings, especially chili sauce. Don't come to me! "
Zhang Yuan was stunned. "It's over, I forgot!"
The material output of the spacecraft is quite limited. Everyone has a purchase limit.
It is impossible for Zhang Yuan to use his large amount of money to buy all the food, then drive up prices, engage in monopoly, resell and make money, etc.
These behaviors are not allowed. If they do happen, Zhang Yuan may be invited to relevant departments for tea.
Although the society is small, it also has a sound security mechanism.
On the other hand, the donated wealth will only make the initial funds a little more, and there is no way to improve social status.
Only through work projects can we bring income to the deep space foundation, which is an embodiment of our ability.
Or from the academic aspect, I can write some excellent papers and show my value.
In order to build a new civilization on a distant planet, the first point advocated by "earth times" is to work more and get more, and work less and get less. It is natural that people with high working ability have more resources and authority.
This is especially true when resources are scarce.
In addition to the former experts, professors and skilled workers who already have a relatively high status, they, young people, are on the same starting line.
The whole assessment will last a year until the spacecraft arrives at the Jupiter base and replenishes the last material. It will enter the formal super long-distance interstellar voyage. The vast majority of the crew will enter the state of hibernation and wake up only once in three or five hundred years.
People with higher authority can give priority to the hibernation batch, for example, hibernate later than others.
Li Zhendong sighed: "at present, we are not far away from the earth. We can still communicate with our relatives. We all want to hibernate later, a year or two later."
"But as soon as I close my eyes, I wake up and have nothing for 300 years."
"Yes!" Zhang Yuan also sighed.
This is the most painful point.
With the times, with all the relatives phase stripping, really abandon all.
They talked here and were silent for a while.
Li Zhendong recovered and continued: "... Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about the work project. I'm going to make a mobile game. The game is not very difficult to make, and if it is popular, it will make a lot of money! "
"Game?" Zhang Yuan used to be a little interested in this thing, but now he feels that playing games is not as good as learning.
"Send me the plan."
"OK, send it to you."
Li Zhendong thought happily, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, hero sad beauty pass, you pick up girls all day. It's estimated that you didn't do anything during the whole holiday?
The girl is so beautiful that a hero can only be a bear!
Unlike me, it's hard to study and write plans at the same time. Man, it's hard to work hard for a holiday!
wait a minute!
Li Zhendong had a question in his mind: what would I do if I had a beautiful and lovely girl?
I must also choose to be a bear!
Thinking of this, Li Zhendong is not so gloating, but full of longing and... Envy!
"What a pity... What a pity!"
"What a pity?"
Zhang Yuan read the whole game plan carefully, frowning slightly, "self walking chess? It's a novel idea. But it's not that easy to make money. Game this thing, not only programming, but also a little luck. You'd better find an artist, and then find a few more people to do it. "
"Do you want to do it together?" Li Zhendong still believes in Zhang Yuan's programming level.
Although the other party has become a bear, I still have to give relief. Who makes me Li Zhendong so kind.
Zhang Yuan thought, shook his head and said, "forget it, I don't have this time. I've found the project and worked with the professors of Xisha university to do the robot control program. I don't know if I can make money. Try my best anyway... "
"Bots?"
"Yes, I have promised them. Some instruction sets to guide the robot movement are very difficult, so now hurry to fill in the relevant knowledge... "
