Chapter 1066 Starship launch live broadcast and next plan
,!
On December 31, the day before the launch of the starship, it was decided to conduct a live broadcast of the launch, and the Protoss Group announced the news of the live broadcast on the same day.
The outside world has been worried that this launch will not be broadcast live, because according to the past practice, if it is to be broadcast live, the decision on whether to broadcast live will be made as soon as the news is announced.
If the live broadcast is not turned on, ordinary people can only see the image of Mohu, and even when the protective cover is turned on, they can't even take pictures of the specific situation inside.
This is a great pity for ordinary people. Whether they are domestic or foreign people, no matter whether they are happy or have other ideas, most people still regard the starship as a milestone of human civilization.
The so-called space activities in the past can only be regarded as small troubles, even if Baihu Technology Company has built a small space city, even if you can go to space for a little money now.
But after all, these can't make people step into space calmly. Only giants like starships can carry human beings and travel in the universe and starry sky.
Therefore, people all over the world want to see the true face of the starship for the first time, and witness the starship, the iconic product of human civilization. It can even be said that when the starship was born, there was a watershed in human civilization.
The civilizations before the starship can be called planetary civilizations, and the civilizations after that can be called galaxy civilizations or interstellar civilizations. Although they have just set foot, their potentials are different, and the heights of civilizations they represent are even more different.
On the evening of the 31st, Ye Zishu received a call from the top leader, inviting him to participate in the launch ceremony of the starship. It stands to reason that he could not refuse such an invitation.
It's just that he really doesn't have much interest in the so-called ascension. In the eyes of others, the starship is a great thing, but in his eyes, it's just a casual creation a few years ago.
In addition, he doesn't like to stand in the spotlight more and more. It's not that he has social phobia, but that he feels it's unnecessary. He has been fading his traces over the years.
If he is standing in the spotlight now, or in such an important scene, all his previous efforts will be in vain, and his name will return to the center of everyone's topic.
So even if the top leader called to invite him in person, he refused, and the reason was reasonable, that is, he had important research in hand and couldn't get away.
For others, there is no research important enough to refuse such an invitation, but it is reasonable for him, because no one knows how important the so-called research in his mouth is.
Even if he feels that what he said is unreliable, no one will refute it. Facts have proved that any of his research should not be underestimated. If the tone is high, it can even determine the height of a civilization.
Like this starship about to launch,
Who knows when he studied it, judging from Ye Zishu's attitude, the starship is actually not that important in his heart.
Even starships are like this. No one dares to guess how important the important research he said is, because their imaginations simply cannot imagine it.
On the contrary, Pei Qing admired Ye Zishu's calm attitude from the bottom of her heart. She judged others by herself. She thought that she could not do this. Except for Ye Zishu, no one else had such determination.
Among the supporting facilities of the starship, the Taiji Group has contributed a lot, such as the medical facilities supporting the starship they research, the production facilities of the starship medicine, and many supporting medicines.
Medical facilities are easy to understand. Drug production facilities are mainly used for long-distance voyages, because real long-distance voyages are commonplace for decades or hundreds of years. It is impossible to store enough medicines, and they are all produced by themselves halfway.
It is also equipped with Chinese herbal medicine planting facilities and technology, but these will not be used in this starship, because there is no plan to go on a long-distance voyage, and it only needs to be equipped with conventional medical facilities.
There are many supporting medicines, one of which is very important, that is, the whole body regenerative medicine. After taking this medicine, the whole body can be completely replaced from the inside to the outside in a few days.
It is not for increasing the lifespan of the human body, but for treating severe radiation. There are many kinds of high-energy particle rays in the universe. Even with protective equipment, accidents may occur.
Once there is a large amount of radiation, there is no good way to remove the radiation in the body, especially the whole body radiation, and partial replacement will not play much role.
After taking this medicine, after all, all the tissues and cells can be replaced from the inside out, and the radiation left in the body can be gradually driven away from the body, making the body rejuvenated.
Everyone knows that the temperature in space is actually very low. If the protection is removed, the cosmic temperature is also a kind of harm to the human body, so Tai Chi Group has prepared a special medicine.
This kind of drug is actually more suitable as an energy pill. Under special circumstances, even if the human body is out of protection, there is no need to worry about the loss of body temperature or other problems caused by temperature changes.
These medicines are all special emergency medicines, and they are currently only supplied to the starship staff. The reason is that the medicines are relatively strong, and there is not much benefit in taking this medicine if there is nothing to do.
The second is that the cost is extremely high, the manufacturing is extremely difficult, and it is impossible to mass-produce it. Even if it is mass-produced, not many people can afford it, so it is not mentioned at all.
Like the two drugs mentioned above, the cost of the first drug is 1 million yuan per pill, and the cost of the second drug is 500,000 yuan per pill, and there are certain side effects after use.
It's just that these side effects are not worth mentioning compared to life. Any overly strong drug will be harmful to the human body to some extent, and it will only be used in situations where life and death are at stake.
So Pei Qing was also invited to the Starship Launch Ceremony, but Pei Qing didn't intend to go to join in the fun, not because she didn't want to, but because Ye Zishu didn't go, and she didn't plan to go.
Anyway, for her, apart from a little vanity, she has no other regrets. She has watched the starship inside and out before, and this time she also plans to watch the live broadcast of Ascension at home.
In fact, such an important ceremony, she used to just socialize, and it was impossible to take a good look at the starship alone. If you want the best viewing experience, you still have to watch the live broadcast to ensure that the viewing angle is the best.
Originally, she didn't plan to watch the live broadcast, thinking it was a waste of time, but Pei Qing was very interested, so she insisted on dragging him to watch, and asked him to take a day off and watch the live broadcast with her.
At 10:00 the next morning, the live broadcast officially started, and the TV at home entered the live broadcast room early. There were still many people who did the same thing as her, and the number of people waiting to start the broadcast exceeded the 100 million mark.
After the broadcast started, the number of people increased sharply. In less than 1 minute, the number of people exceeded 200 million. According to this posture, the number of viewers of this live broadcast will exceed the 1 billion mark.
Advertisement prices are extremely expensive for this kind of live broadcast period with the number of viewers. Generally, a 5-second advertisement costs hundreds of millions of yuan, and the live broadcast time is very long. If the number of advertisements is large enough, the advertising fee will be full.
Even the advertisements embedded in the lines are calculated according to the number of appearances and the number of words. The minimum cost is one million yuan, and it is possible to be tens of millions of yuan.
The live broadcast lines are temporarily written by artificial intelligence based on the live broadcast images, which can perfectly integrate the advertising words and live broadcast images, and is also the most popular and common advertising method.
After all, advertisements with screens will affect the viewing experience to some extent. Generally, when entering the live broadcast room for the first time, an advertisement will be played for 3 to 5 seconds, and the advertisement will only be played during the garbage time in the middle, and the advertisement space is relatively limited.
"Guess how much money Kunpeng Information Technology Company can make from this live broadcast?" Pei Qing asked with a smile.
"How do I know that?" Ye Zishu felt that this question was a bit boring.
"It's just a guess, I think they can earn 2 billion yuan from this live broadcast, what do you think?" Pei Qing said with a smile.
"It depends on the final number of viewers, the average viewing time per person, and the number of viewers during the advertising period. My guess is higher than yours, and it may exceed 5 billion yuan." Ye Zishu said with a smile.
"How do you judge?" Pei Qing asked curiously.
"Although there are only 400 to 500 million people now, I guess that when it really starts, the number of viewers will exceed 2 billion, and it may break through the 3 billion mark.
After all, the launch of a starship is a big event for everyone, not just for the eyes, as long as they have time, they will come in and watch it as soon as possible.
Moreover, there are a lot of content that can be broadcast live, and the audience will not feel too bored, and the average viewing time will be very long. Even if there is an advertisement in the middle, no one will quit. "Leaf Book analyzed.
"I think 3 billion people watching is a bit exaggerated. After all, not everyone has time, and most people still have to run around for a living." Pei Qing said.
The number of viewers in China must be very large. After all, most of them don’t need to run around for a living. It’s different abroad. Compared with the tall starships, they care more about their daily necessities.
"That's why I said that it is possible to break through the 3 billion mark, and it is still sure to break through the 2 billion mark." Ye Zishu said with a smile.
The live broadcast screen began to shift from the boring screen to the inside, and the opening was naturally the leader's speech. This is almost the same routine in all formal occasions, and everyone didn't think it was too strange.
It's just that the screen turned around, and there was no trace of any starship. It stands to reason that such a huge starship cannot be hidden, which makes the people in the live broadcast room very strange.
After the leader finished his speech, the picture began to shoot directly up from the bustling crowd to the high altitude in the distance, and found that at the end of the picture, there was a huge monster floating that could not be seen at a glance.
In addition, today's weather is not particularly good. Most of the behemoth's body is in the clouds, which adds more mystery to the behemoth.
Without artificial intelligence explanations, everyone knows that this is the legendary starship, but they didn't expect it to be so huge. Compared with the actual picture and data, it is much more shocking.
Naturally, the artificial intelligence commentary will not talk in general terms. According to the commentary, everyone knows why the starship is floating in the air, because it is difficult to find a large enough place on the ground.
Moreover, if you want to park such a heavy starship, the cost of hardening the ground is very high. If you don't use it in the future, it will be too wasteful, so you choose to build it in the air.
This means that the starship has never landed on the ground since it was built. What kind of technology can do this? The artificial intelligence commentary did not answer this question.
This is a live broadcast of the launch of the starship, not a popular science starship. Even if everyone guesses that it is anti-gravity technology, as long as this side does not admit it, everyone will not be so sure.
What's more, anti-gravity technology seems unrealistic to many people. At present, there is no mature theory to support the view of anti-gravity. This will be a mystery in many people's minds.
Under the huge body of the medium-sized starship, there are still 10 much smaller starships floating, but when the picture is zoomed in, with a reference, it is known that the small starship in the picture is also a giant.
The reason why it looks small is just for comparison with the medium-sized starship. Compared with the medium-sized starship, the floating height of the small starship is not high, so the picture is more realistic.
After all, it didn’t make much sense from a distance. The live broadcast screen was switched directly from the long-shot live broadcast to the drone camera, and then used the close-up lens to take close-up pictures of the small starship.
At this time, everyone had a more intuitive feeling for the size of the small starship, just like a person standing under a skyscraper hundreds of meters high.
In the live broadcast, the height of the small starship is just like this, and the height of the small starship is also 840 meters high, which is higher than the world's tallest skyscraper.
Skyscrapers still rely on lightning rod-like spires to fill their heights, while the small starships in front of them have a real height. Viewed from a first-person perspective, they also feel oppressive.
Of course, some people have seen the clues. These starships float in mid-air, but they don't have the jet stream of our common engines, and float in mid-air like an airship.
The difference from the airship is that the starship floats in mid-air without moving, as if the surrounding airflow has no effect on them, how to do it? It is estimated that it is a question on the minds of many people.
"Many people probably won't be able to fall asleep after watching it!" Pei Qing said with a smile as she watched the speeches of the audience.
Don't say it's because people don't understand, if she didn't know that the anti-gravity device was used, she wouldn't think about it. After all, the anti-gravity device is too far away from scientific theory, but it is just a beautiful imagination in people's minds.
"Anti-gravity should be guessed by people, but these people will be troubled by how to achieve anti-gravity." Ye Shu nodded and said.
Knowing that anti-gravity can't be done is a good thing for many people, at least they don't have to worry about it, but when they know that anti-gravity can be done, scientists all over the world will probably fall into a myth.
In the future, anti-gravity research will be a hot topic in the field of physics research all over the world. As for whether it can be researched, even he can't say, maybe it will be cleared up someday.
But there is no need to think about it in the short term. There are too many ways in it. Even if he gave a full set of technology, Baihu Technology Company has studied for a long time before producing the equipment.
But if they are asked to improve, it will take more time. Although theoretically speaking, the essence of Dao is to simplify the complexity, in fact, most complex theories require the support of a complex theoretical system.
At present, the theoretical circle supports the theory of anti-gravity, that is, gravity is formed by space distortion. Conversely, if the space is reversed, it is anti-gravity, which can offset the impact of gravity.
This is just a conjecture, and there is not much theoretical support. It will take a long time to transform the theory into technology when there is enough theoretical support.
Just like we know that the nucleus is composed of neutrons and protons, and protons are composed of up quarks and down quarks, etc., but it is very difficult and almost impossible for us to combine up quarks and down quarks at will.
So knowing it is for a while, and whether it can be manipulated at will is another matter, so knowing it is only the first step of the long march, and the road ahead will not be smooth.
The viewers in the live broadcast room were really shocked by the pictures, but they were not satisfied with many contents of the commentary, because they wanted to know more information, but none of them were provided.
For example, what material is the outer shell of the starship, what power system is used, what energy system is used, what is the internal structure, how much can it carry, and so on.
There is no explanation for these, it’s not that the intelligent narrator doesn’t want to say it, but it can’t be said, some researches can find the research direction and achieve breakthroughs by relying on scraps of information.
Although he doesn't mind showing the starship in front of the whole world, he doesn't want to reveal too much information. At least when the world is still full of conflicts and conflicts among civilizations, hiding is the best choice.
We invented gunpowder but used it to set off fireworks. It cannot be said that we are wrong, but our civilization character is like this, and other civilizations use it to conquer and enslave other civilizations is also determined by their civilization character.
In the same way, we build starships to develop ourselves. We never thought of conquering other civilizations, but it might be possible if they get to other civilizations. This is why he is reluctant to reveal too much.
The technology of his enterprises is very advanced, and there has been a huge gap with the external technological level, and it will only get bigger and bigger in the future. It's not that they don't want to make it public, but that making it public will only cause more conflicts.
He thinks the current state is pretty good. At least everyone knows that there is an unattainable existence above. No matter what civilization is below, even if they want to do something bad, they have to weigh it.
Some civilizations dominance by one family will only lead to more disputes and conflicts, while in a civilization like ours, dominance by one family will only be more conducive to global peace, which is also determined by the character of civilizations.
Because they are used to conquering and plundering to obtain wealth, and they also regard wealth as too important, while we only want to develop and improve ourselves, and only want to rely on our own hands and wisdom to create wealth.
In the past, we lacked a deep understanding of other civilizations and made many mistakes. Now we have learned to behave well, and only come up with similar things, and we still cover things that are too high.
As for the lack of scientific research personnel, it is not very necessary to rely on talents from other civilizations to study together. First of all, artificial intelligence has a strong research and innovation ability, and general research is not a problem at all.
The second is that we have a population of more than one billion. Although the current cultural level is not too high, as time goes by, there will be more than one billion well-educated, even elite-educated talents.
With so many talents, it is estimated that other countries will not have so many, so there is actually no shortage of talents, not to mention the use of IQ drugs, and the talents are not low.
Although the live broadcast did not meet the expectations of many people, the audience would not find it too boring, especially when the drone footage flew from the head to the tail of the medium-sized starship.
The length of 55 kilometers, even if the drone flew fast, it took more than ten minutes. During this process, not to mention other audiences, even the two of them felt the vastness of the starship.
From a distance, it is not absolute. When the line of sight is under the starship at close range, you will know what it means for a starship to be 55 kilometers long and weigh more than 35 billion tons.
If this is not enough, then turn to the surroundings of the medium-sized starship, as if it is a majestic mountain, lying in the line of sight, with no end in sight.
In fact, the height can reach 2,500 meters, which belongs to the mountain range in the world, and it is still gradually climbing. The surrounding area of the starship is very steep, and the sense of coercion is even stronger.
Especially in the state of looming in the clouds, like a sky wall in front of everyone, blocking all people's sight, the scenes in science fiction movies are not so exciting.
At 12:00 noon, the live broadcast was almost over. The starship, which had been parked quietly, suddenly started to move.
Originally, the water vapor in the clouds floating around was soothing. As the medium-sized starship slowly lifted into the sky, the clouds suddenly rolled violently, and the scene was also very shocking.
It may be that people will not be able to see it under the clouds for a while. When the medium-sized starship disappeared from the field of vision, the live broadcast screen switched to above the clouds, and there was no cloud blocking here, so I could really see the whole picture of the medium-sized starship.
Along with the medium-sized starship, there are 5 small starships, and the remaining 5 will remain at the base. They will be used for equipment and material transportation in the future, so as to increase the construction speed of the space dock.
Although the launch of the starship is not as fast as the launch speed of the rocket, it is not slow. It took only 10 minutes in the live broadcast screen, and the starship disappeared from the screen and entered the vast space.
At this time, if you want to see the starship, you must use a telescope. The live broadcast room did not show space pictures like before, but explained the next mission of the starship.
There is no need to hide this aspect. It is estimated that the detection satellites and equipment of various countries are always watching the whereabouts of the starships, so they can simply say it openly to avoid unreasonable guesses.
"Our interstellar fleet is strictly a transportation and mining fleet. This time, it will go to the asteroid belt to mine mineral resources to meet subsequent resource needs.
This time, the first mining target is the Spirit Star, and a large amount of iron and other precious metals or rare metals will be mined from the Spirit Star, with a period of about 2 years. " said the intelligent commentator.
In fact, going to the asteroid belt this time is not just about mining. In addition to mining the minerals of Spirit God, it will also send small starships along the asteroid belt to conduct close-up detection of the resource status here.
In this way, statistics and analysis of the resource status of the asteroid belt can be carried out, and the utilization of resources here can be planned more reasonably in the future, and at the same time, changes in asteroid orbits can prevent other planets from being dangerous.
So far the whole live broadcast is over, the live broadcast time is two and a half hours, but the impact it brings is definitely far more than two and a half hours, maybe a hundred years, or even a thousand years.
While everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the starship, Kylin Environmental Industry Group announced the Venus transformation plan, and is currently preparing to carry out the first step, the atmosphere transformation.
This news instantly stirred up a thousand waves. I didn't expect that the major event of the starship's launch, in addition to mining, turned out to be planet transformation, which attracted a lot of envious, disappointed, and worried eyes.
