Chapter 50 Space Journey

The sound of bells in the distance echoed in my ears, and the sun was looming below the horizon.

Zhang Yuan came to his seat and buckled his seat belt.

He took a deep breath, trying to expel all the bad emotions from his mind.

Buzz!

After the elevator started, it brought a slight sense of overweight, which made the eardrum in his ears roar.

The structure of the magnetic levitation elevator is a bit like a vertical high-speed train. It moves very quickly. After a period of acceleration, it moves upward at a speed of about 500 kilometers per hour.

It is estimated that in 72 hours, 3 days, the position of the synchronous orbit at 36,000 kilometers is reached, namely the "Tenglong" Space City.

The cost of transporting matter into space through a space elevator is about 10 yuan per kilogram. In order to reduce transportation costs, a magnetic levitation elevator, a transportation tool, should be as light and simple as possible, so the overall environment cannot be very comfortable.

Each person only has a small sleeper, and tourists' carry-on luggage will be charged an additional fee.

In a few minutes, the elevator arrived at the stratosphere and surpassed the height of Mount Everest. Through the windows, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery outside.

At this height, the panoramic view of Xisha City came into view. Various beautiful transportation tracks were like blood vessels in the city, and moving cars were like flowing blood.

This international port city is running day and night.

Anyway, it’s boring to be idle, so Zhang Yuan simply started chatting with Li Zhendong.

Li Zhendong frowned and said, "I received a notice a few days ago that everyone is looking for some work projects, as a consideration of comprehensive achievements, and various work hierarchies. It is equivalent to the military ranks in the army."

"We astronauts have all gone to heaven and have to generate income for the foundation... This is a naked act of exploitation!"

While swiping calculus on your phone, Zhang Yuan retorted: "You can also just eat and wait to die and do nothing. Anyway, as long as you have a basic position in the spacecraft, you will have a salary, and you can't starve to death. If you really want to starve to death, you can apply for hibernation."

"I already have 100,000 SGD now, which may be the richest one on the spaceship. A box of lunch costs only 4 yuan, which is enough for me to eat for a long time."

The conversion between federal currency and new currency is about 100:1.

100,000 SGD, with a monthly salary of 1,000, you will have to work for 8.3 years.

Li Zhendong glared at him and saw Zhang Yuan frantically brushing calculus again, he was speechless.

Zhang Yuan donated 10 million federal coins at the award ceremony and squirted with reporters, which caused a sensation, and he must have known it.

I wondered for a long time that Zhang Yuan encountered such a pretentious occasion and made him pretend to be perfect...

"You are such a big dog. When will you treat you to dinner?"

Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to synthetic meat and eat as much as you want. In fact, the money is not very useful, at least not for the time being. I can't eat the food that two people share, I carry a lot of electronic products in my luggage, and I don't need to buy anything else..."

Li Zhendong said, "You only brought electronic products? I also brought some seasonings, especially chili sauce, don't ask me for it!"

Zhang Yuan was stunned, "It's over, I forgot!"

The spacecraft's material assets are quite limited, and everyone has a purchase limit.

It is impossible for Zhang Yuan to use his large amount of money to buy all the food, then raise prices, engage in monopoly, resell and make money, etc.

These behaviors are not allowed. If they really happen, Zhang Yuan may be invited to the relevant department 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 will not be able to improve social status.

Only by bringing income to the Deep Space Foundation through work projects is a reflection of its ability.

Or starting from the academic perspective, you can write some excellent papers and show your own value.

The first thing that "Earth Age" advocates is to build a new civilization on a distant planet is to earn more work and earn less. It is natural for people with high work to have more resources and authority.

This is especially true when resources are poor.

Except for the original experts, professors and technical workers who already have a relatively high status, these young people are all on the same starting line.

The entire assessment lasts for a total of one year until the spacecraft arrives at Jupiter base and replenishes the last material, it will enter a formal ultra-long-distance interstellar voyage. Most crew members will enter hibernation and will only wake up once every three or five hundred years.

People with higher authority can prefer hibernation batches, such as hibernation a little later than others.

Li Zhendong sighed: "I am not far away from the earth yet, and I can still communicate with my relatives. Everyone wants to hibernate later, so it's better to be one or two years later."

"But once you close your eyes, you'll wake up for three hundred years and you'll have nothing."

"Yes!" Zhang Yuan also sighed.

This is the most uncomfortable point.

Separate from the times, from all relatives, and truly abandon everything.

The two of them talked here and were silent for a while.

Li Zhendong came back to his senses and continued: "...I won't talk about this for now, let's talk about work projects. I plan to make a mobile game. The game is not difficult to make, and if it is a hit, it will make a lot of money!"

"Game?" Zhang Yuan was a little interested in this thing before, but now, he feels that the time to play games is better than studying.

"Send me a planner."

"Okay, send it to you."

Li Zhendong thought happily in his heart, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, the hero is sad to pass the beauty. You pick up girls all day long, probably you didn’t do anything during the whole holiday, right?

The girl is so beautiful, and a hero can only be a bear!

But unlike me, I studied hard while writing plans, which was extremely miserable. My buddy finally worked hard for a holiday!

Wait a moment!

A question broke out in Li Zhendong's mind: What would I do if I had a beautiful girl?

I definitely chose to be a bear too!

Thinking of this, Li Zhendong was not so gloating, but was full of yearning and... envy!

"What a pity... What a pity!"

"What a pity?"

Zhang Yuan carefully read the entire game planning book, frowned slightly, "Automatic chess? Very novel idea. But it is not that easy to make money. Games are not only required to program, but also rely on 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 very much.

Although the other party has become a bear, I still need to be relieved. Who made me Li Zhendong so kind?

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't have this time. I have found the project and work with professors from Xisha University to do robot control programs. I don't know whether it can make money. Anyway, try to do what I can..."

"Robot program?"
Chapter completed!
