Chapter 1070 The expanded version of Ocean Star and Air City obtains airworthiness certificate
Also in January 2007, Huanyu Group announced the construction of Ocean Star Super Artificial Ocean City, with an area of 7,850 square kilometers and a radius of 50 kilometers.
The total weight will reach 7 trillion tons, and the total cost is not mentioned at all, because if it is really necessary to calculate, the cost of materials alone is difficult to count.
In fact, the main raw materials they use do not cost money, the purpose is to reserve the mineral resources dug from space, otherwise they can only be piled up there and slowly digested.
With the current space industry chain, it is difficult to digest so many mineral resources for a while, and the mining fleet cannot be vacant here. After unloading the cargo, it will immediately set off to mine again.
How to utilize these idle resources to create more economic value has become a matter that must be considered. Only this kind of super project can consume such a huge amount of resources.
Therefore, Kylin Resources Development Group does not plan to collect money for raw materials, but it can share operating income with Ocean Star Operating Company, so as to achieve a steady flow of water.
If you really buy materials, the combined income of all the companies under Ye Zishu is still far from enough to pay for the cost of materials. Even if you sell these materials as soil, the cost is still high.
Excluding the cost of materials, it will still cost 1500 trillion yuan to build such a huge Ocean Star, including material processing costs, construction costs and supporting facilities costs, etc.
Although it still costs a lot, the scale of investment at this level is still acceptable to his industries, not to mention the companies that make this money are still his companies.
According to the usual practice, the company that ordered this ocean star is Wancheng Foundation, which basically belongs to their exclusive business. Huanyu Group is only responsible for the construction, and other companies are responsible for their own tasks.
The entire construction process is expected to take 5 years, and in order to complete the construction goal within 5 years, it is estimated that the number of labor force used will be as high as 300 million.
The project has been announced, causing a global uproar, not to mention whether it can be done, it is surprising to have this idea, 7850 square kilometers, which is larger than the entire city of sh.
With such a large area, it can accommodate not only 10 million people, but also 50 million people in a flat structure without feeling crowded. In fact, its height reaches 500 meters.
Both the seabed and the sea surface are three-dimensional structures. Even if a large number of public facilities, commercial facilities, industrial facilities and agricultural facilities occupy more space, the area available for living is still as high as 50 billion square meters.
Based on the per capita living area of 40 square meters, it can accommodate 1.25 billion people. Judging from these data, Ocean Star is worthy of its name.
When Ye Zishu heard the news, he was shocked. He only hoped to build an ocean star that could accommodate millions of people, but he didn't expect them to expand it so much.
Although the technical conditions are available, but the capital consumption of 1500 trillion yuan, with the funds of Wancheng Foundation, they can't afford such expensive things. I don't know what they think.
Not long after the news was announced, Wancheng Jiye officially showed the renderings of Ocean Star to the public. Although there are no tall buildings inside, after all, it is alone on the sea, and if the building is too high, the wind resistance will be too great.
But the planning and scenery inside are clearly arranged, making people feel very active at first sight. Living in it, it will be warm like spring all year round, and it will become the most livable city. ….The most exciting thing is that there is also an underwater world inside, and there are a large number of underwater rooms, which are much more interesting than the so-called sea view rooms, and immediately aroused heated discussions around the world.
Wancheng Foundation is definitely not doing this to show off. After the popularity, they began to announce the pre-sale plan. People from all over the world can buy real estate on it, regardless of nationality.
The starting price of the house above is 50,000 per square meter, with 99 years of property rights, the estimated construction area is as high as 1 trillion square meters, and the salable real estate area is 50 billion square meters.
If all can be sold, the cost can be earned back just by selling the real estate inside, and the service fees, business income, etc. earned later will be considered pure profits.
In fact, these are ideal conditions. If the average house is 100 square meters, the number of houses is as high as 500 million. Are there so many people in the world who buy them?
Just when Ye Zishu suspects that if they do this, they will not be able to sell many houses. This kind of floating city on the sea is generally only used as a place for vacation, and few people live in it for a long time.
Unexpectedly, after opening the pre-sale channel, the number of domestic purchases alone reached 100 million units in just one month, and the average area of each unit reached 150 square meters.
According to these buyers, although 7.5 million yuan is very expensive to buy a house, it is not unaffordable, and the average annual price is only 75,000 yuan.
Based on this year's social security income, the annual income of a couple's family is as high as 1.68 million yuan, and there is an indefinite amount of New Year's allowance at the end of the year. Compared with the income, the average annual expenditure in this area is negligible.
In fact, many preferential measures are provided for the purchase of domestic citizens, such as a loan interest rate of 2%, which is limited to the first house, and pre-order buyers enjoy a 20% discount on the total house price.
The purpose of doing this is to allow domestic people to earn back the construction cost after purchasing, and domestic people can also obtain this asset at a relatively low price.
In fact, these are not the reasons why the domestic people buy in large quantities. The real reason is that everyone knows that the funds they pay for the purchase now will return to them with higher income in the future.
After so many years of practice, this economic operation mode has been verified. The more people consume, the more income they will receive in the future, and many costs paid will be offset in the process of increasing income.
Seeing this situation, Ye Zishu found it a bit inconceivable. If 250 million people across the country bought it, they would be able to earn back the investment, and the rest would be pure profit.
As for foreign buyers, there are no such preferential conditions, and the later the purchase, the fewer good houses will be. The houses purchased before have a lot of room for appreciation.
Ocean Star has all the functions of a city, not to mention hospitals, schools, and commercial facilities, as well as its own docks, industrial systems, and agricultural production systems.
This means that it only needs to rely on external raw materials. The basic material supply here is basically self-sufficient, and it only needs to purchase other necessary commodities from outside.
The purpose of doing this is to reduce the transportation pressure. If you want to maintain such a large population, it is difficult to rely entirely on external supplies. Basic materials must be self-sufficient. ….It is equipped with a very complete resource recovery system, which can neither cause too much domestic garbage to the ocean, but also can use waste to further reduce the supply of external resources.
It can be said that Ocean Star is actually a rehearsal project of Abyss City. Having experience in building Ocean Star will help in designing a more perfect Abyss City in the future.
Regardless of the fact that Ocean Star usually floats on the sea surface, it can actually sink completely into the bottom of the sea. Before that, you only need to open the city dome system to cover the upper part.
In view of the relatively high risk factor of entering the seabed, once an accident occurs, it will be an irreversible disaster. In addition to the dome system, it is also equipped with a pseudo-space protection system used on starships.
It's just that the pseudo-space protection system is too high-end after all, and it won't be turned on under normal circumstances. Only when there is a problem with the dome system, it will be taken over immediately to prevent seawater from entering.
In terms of design, the dome system designed by Ye Zishu, the probability of accidents is too low, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of it. Adding a pseudo-space protection system can ensure foolproof.
In addition, the pseudo-space protection system is also to prevent someone from attacking Ocean Star. Although there is a high probability that no one will dare to do this, the facts are always unpredictable, and it is always right to have one more method.
After all, spending so much money to build Ocean Star is not bad for installing a pseudo-space system. Big money is spent, so there is no need to save small money.
Judging from the current pre-sale situation, Wancheng Foundation has invested 1500 trillion yuan, and there is a high probability that it can be recovered, and it may even make a lot of money.
In fact, the design life of Ocean Star is very long, and there is no problem even reaching thousands of years. The reason why the property rights are set at 99 years is mainly because of the need to recycle the resources of Ocean Star in case of emergency use.
To build such a large-scale Ocean Star, in addition to making money, it is more important to store resources. When resources are really needed, they can be used as raw materials immediately.
If the dismantling of such a huge ocean star is done according to the previous method, it will take countless years just to dismantle it, and the dismantled materials need to be sorted and purified in the middle, which also takes time and energy.
But now that there are specialized bionic microorganisms, resource recycling is not so troublesome. Even such a huge ocean star, under the erosion of microorganisms, it only takes one year for the resources to be recycled separately.
If you continue to use it in the future, you will need to sign an extension contract if the property rights exceed 99 years. There is a high probability that domestic people will not need a renewal fee, or they will renew at a very low price.
Sure enough, in the next year, domestic people have successively increased the number of reservations by 200 million sets, and the total domestic reservations have reached 300 million sets, with an area of 45 billion square meters sold.
There are also a large number of wealthy people buying real estate in the world, but the number is much lower. However, there are not a few people who buy luxury houses. After all, there are some rich people in every country.
More than 10 million sets have been sold abroad, and the sales area is 2 billion square meters. In one year, a total of 470 square meters have been sold, and there are still 3 billion square meters left.
The remaining real estate is not in a hurry to sell. With the opening of my country's population policy, the domestic population will show a trend of rapid increase in the next few decades, and the remaining real estate can be kept and sold slowly. ….It can also be rented out during the peak tourist season. After all, the number of hotels is limited. During the peak season, you can rent out unused houses and earn a fortune.
The water surface of Ocean Star is not complicated, there will not be too many high-rise buildings, generally the highest building is only 10 floors, but below the water surface, it is a scene of high-rise buildings, just look backwards.
The reason for this design is to let the houses under the sea enjoy the underwater landscape as much as possible. It is a very novel experience to see fish swimming around outside their windows.
When the entire ocean star goes deep into the seabed of several thousand meters, or even tens of thousands of meters, the original intricate underground city will also be wrapped by the dome system, which looks a bit like a flying saucer from a distance.
It can be said that industrial products of the level of Ocean Star and Sky City are the top works that ordinary people can easily touch. Starships are not things that ordinary people can watch and visit at will.
So no matter what the reason is, Ocean Star and Sky City will never lack tourists and investors. Buying real estate on Ocean Star in the future will be one of the symbols of the rich.
In order to attract investors from all over the world, the government also gave the green light, stating that Ocean Star does not need to fully abide by domestic laws, and the management method and legal formulation will be completely handed over to Wancheng Foundation.
This means that many industries that are not allowed to operate in the country can be operated on Ocean Star, but with Ye Zishu, Wancheng Foundation will not dare to go too far even if it wants to make money.
Because Ocean Star is said to be operating internationally, in fact most of the investors are domestic people, and the proportion of investors from other countries is not bad.
Under such circumstances, even if the state gave Wancheng Jiye such great power, it would not dare to mess around with it. Generally speaking, it still operates in accordance with domestic laws, and the difference will not be particularly large.
Relying on the pre-sold houses, Wancheng Foundation earned back 2,280 trillion yuan, a net profit of 780 trillion yuan. It also holds a large number of commercial facilities and public service facilities, which can continuously make money for them.
It is estimated that these services can also bring them tens of trillions of yuan a year, and may even reach the level of one trillion yuan in income, a proper cornucopia.
Originally, the project that Ye Zishu was not optimistic about had recovered the cost before the construction was completed, and made a lot of money, which was really beyond his expectations.
In fact, it is not surprising that there are not too many projects that can be invested in now, and the subject matter of high-quality assets is very limited, and his companies will not sell particularly high-quality assets.
Therefore, Ocean Star is considered a rare investment product, so it is not surprising that international capital flocks to it, but their capital is still insignificant compared with the domestic people.
For the domestic people, Ocean Star is also a good investment target. Even if you don’t make money in the future, you can still play for a few months every year. Whether it’s summer or winter, it’s a good choice.
Ye Zishu seriously underestimated the investment value of his high-quality assets, and has always played by himself, completely ignoring the urgency of external capital to buy his assets.
What's more, Ocean Star has real estate all over the world, but there is only one Ocean Star. No matter how big the Ocean Star is, it is still a scarce resource in the world. ….This is only a year of pre-sale results, and the remaining 3 billion square meters of salable housing area will inevitably be sold out in the next four years.
Huanyu Group dared to build such a large project, and Wancheng Foundation dared to undertake such a large project. Before doing it, they had already conducted data analysis and had a very high success rate.
It is mainly the purchasing power of the domestic people that supports this project. Without the support of the more than one billion middle class and hundreds of millions of wealthy families, they would never dare to do this.
This is also the victory of the current system. If the benefits are distributed according to the original system, it is impossible to create such a large consumer group, and it is impossible to achieve such a large project.
There may be many projects far surpassing Ocean Star in the future, but it is certain that as residents’ income continues to rise, these projects still have the possibility of success and continue the myth.
The Ocean Star project also digested so many resources and successfully operated the resources that could only be piled up in the corner to press ash. It will definitely bring a lot of practical benefits, and the resources can still be recycled in the future.
Such a huge resource, even if it is all crude steel, would cost 1.4 trillion yuan if calculated at 2,000 yuan per ton. No enterprise, not even the country, can handle such a huge value.
That's why it is said that this is also a very successful resource value development project, turning resources that were either unsold or could only be sold as soil into sustainable income.
Ocean Star is a project that integrates agriculture, industry, and commerce. In the future, commerce will be highly developed, and it will become a global tourist attraction and one of the global consumption centers.
If it works well, it is definitely not an extravagant hope to generate an annual income of up to 100 trillion yuan. Not to mention that Ocean Star has been used for thousands of years, even if it is calculated based on 99 years, the total income created will be as high as 1 trillion yuan.
If calculated according to 1000 years, the total income will be as high as 10 trillion yuan. As long as it is not an urgent need, the resources of Ocean Star will never be recovered.
At least in the expected 1,000 years, the solar system is basically stable, and huge disasters are unlikely to occur, so the ocean star can continue to operate.
However, Ocean Star can only build one at the moment, and if there are more, the street will be ruined. How to continue to operate the resources dug from space has become a key consideration for his companies.
There is a high probability that we will continue to increase the number of space docks, increase the number of star fleets built, or build larger starships to turn these resources into usable assets.
If it can't be exhausted, then build the city of abyss. If one can't be exhausted, then build a few more, and then start to expand outwards to explore new habitable places.
In October 2007, after nearly two years of sea trials, Huanyu Group's new airliner finally obtained the airworthiness certificate, which took much longer than expected.
The reason is that the new airliner adopts brand-new technology, so previous data cannot be used as a reference, and enough data must be re-accumulated to support the safety of these new airliners.
So it takes more time to test the flight. This is because the new passenger plane was designed by Ye Zishu, and the safety aspect has been done well since the design. …. Otherwise, if Huanyu Group designs it itself, I don’t know how long it will take to get the airworthiness certificate. Moreover, the new passenger aircraft adopts a new technology system, and the evaluation standards are also very different from the previous ones.
In the past, in terms of passenger aircraft evaluation, my country mainly referred to the reference standards of the old aviation bureaus, and formulated its own airworthiness standards on this basis, with evidence to follow.
There is no ready-made reference standard for passenger aircraft produced under the new technology system, and we can only formulate new standards by ourselves. We also spent a lot of time and energy in this regard.
In fact, the airworthiness standard is a wrong book, which corrects the mistakes made in history in a standard way. Obviously, it is difficult to do this for airliners produced by new technology systems.
Therefore, the formulation process of new airworthiness standards is mainly to simulate various scenarios in the virtual world to see which designs will cause serious accidents, and formulate airworthiness standards on this basis.
If it can sail stably under various circumstances, then the new airliner of Huanyu Group will be used as the new airworthiness standard, but the old airworthiness standard is still applicable to airliners produced by the old technology system.
After the new passenger aircraft obtained the airworthiness certificate, Wancheng Jiye began to replace the types of passenger aircraft in its airline fleet, gradually replacing the old passenger aircraft.
Because they have discovered that old-fashioned passenger aircraft are becoming less and less competitive in the face of super-maglev vehicles. The new passenger aircraft is expected to break this situation and enhance the competitiveness of the domestic aviation industry.
During the test flight, Huanyu Group's new passenger aircraft received a large number of orders, mainly from domestic airlines, with a total of 2,000 orders, which is not a lot for a new passenger aircraft.
The retired passenger planes will not be wasted, and can be leased in the international market. The passenger planes in their hands have not been flying for more than 10 years, and they are considered new passenger planes, which are in high demand in the leasing market.
Passenger aircraft that are more than 20 years old are old passenger aircraft, and the lease price and sales price will be relatively low. This kind of old passenger aircraft is generally leased and purchased by airlines in poor and weak countries, and the safety factor is relatively low.
In fact, although Huanyu Group's old airliners also require 30 years of mandatory retirement, in fact, according to the standards of the other two aviation manufacturers, they can be used for more than 35 years.
It’s just that if you do that, if an accident occurs, it will be detrimental to the reputation of Huanyu Group, so it will impose a 30-year service period, and will not provide services such as operation and maintenance after that, so that the passenger plane can be replaced as soon as possible.
In December 2007, after a two-year test flight, Huanyu Group's Air City also obtained the airworthiness certificate and can be officially put into civil aviation operation.
It's just that the price is too high, and ordinary airlines need to think twice if they want to buy it. The main reason is that there is no precedent for successful operation. Once it fails, it will suffer heavy losses.
After all, a city in the sky needs to cost 500 billion yuan. This is not something worth several billion yuan. One failure is enough to close down a company, and many companies dare not try it lightly.
Therefore, the initial orders mainly depend on Wancheng Foundation, and Wancheng Foundation has carried out all-round simulations before the operation of the sky city, and has formed many relatively mature operation plans, which are waiting for market testing.
For other companies, the investment in buying a sky city is too high, but for Wancheng Foundation, it is not that big, so the order volume is also very considerable. ….Before I planned to try 5 planes first, the total order volume was expected to be 50 planes. Now their first order is as high as 50 planes, and the total order volume is expected to be about 300 planes.
In fact, the number of tourists carried by 300 planes per year is not particularly large. Based on a 7-day operation cycle, plus maintenance and material supplies, etc., it can only serve a maximum of 300 million passengers a year.
The number of people capable of consumption in our country is as high as 1 billion, and the number will only increase in the future, not to mention that the global market is also not small, and 300 is actually a conservative estimate.
Of course, the city in the sky can also be used for ordinary civil aviation operations, so the number of passengers carried is not 20,000, but as high as 500,000 or more. It is generally difficult to gather such a large number of passengers.
White Tiger Technology Company has seen the huge carrying potential of Sky City, and has cooperated with Huanyu Group to create a super vehicle that can enter space.
Utilizing the existing industrial system can not only reduce costs, but also meet the transportation needs of Baihu Technology Company, which is very beneficial to start the civilian space tourism business.
Relying on the super vehicle built by the city in the sky, it can carry 100,000 people into space at a time, and the per capita cost is further reduced. 100,000 yuan can enter space tourism once.
And the ability to make money is even more exaggerated than the city in the sky. If a space trip is calculated for 2 days, excluding factors such as operation and maintenance and material supply, the calculation is based on 300 days of operating time a year.
Under full load, it can earn 1.5 trillion yuan a year. Even if the price of this super vehicle is more expensive, it can pay back the cost in a year. The rest of the time is pure profit. shelf.
The annual passenger capacity reaches 150 million. Due to the very low price, the number of customer groups must be very large. There should be nearly 3 billion customers worldwide who can meet this requirement.
Therefore, the order of 10 super vehicles is just a trial market, and it may increase to 50 in the future. According to each person, it will take 4 years for a rotation.
Space has definitely become the hottest industry today, but due to technical limitations, it is currently dominated by the industries under Ye Zishu. This situation will not change in the foreseeable next few decades.
Therefore, Baihu Technology is fully capable of monopolizing space tourism projects, which can bring them at least a market size of 300 trillion yuan, enough for them to build two fleets for military use.
The increase in the number of orders can help Huanyu Group reduce costs, and Huanyu Group can also make more profits. This kind of cooperation can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and naturally it hit it off. .
