Many people were already in the exhibition hall.
When the ti was about right, the music started to play, mostly soft tunes with a certain rhythm and lody, which could make people sway their bodies.
A large group of people were floating and swaying their bodies—the scene looked incredibly weird. Many couldn’t help but laugh out loud, including the senior leaders. He actually didn’t want to sway his body, but it felt strange to keep floating all the ti even without moving.
Although the dancing event wasn’t going smoothly, it created a magnificent spectacle of uninhibited laughter, which, combined with the Earth backdrop on the big screen, turned out quite well.
Many people couldn’t resist taking out their phones to capture the mont and preserve the scene.
Once back on Earth, there would be no chance to see such a scene again.
Even those built space experience museums couldn’t achieve complete weightlessness.
Zhao Yi floated closer to the senior leader, and they laughed and talked together.
The senior leader was very interested in the space cruise trip project. He shared his feelings, "It’s quite magical actually, experiencing it once is really nice."
"It must be a bit boring, right? And it doesn’t feel good to be in zero gravity for an extended period. I’m starting to miss solid ground," Zhao Yi said.
"Indeed," the senior leader felt the sa, "You only appreciate how comfortable the ground is after a long stay up here. Also, it gets monotonous after a while."
Zhao Yi nodded, "Now, there are two problems. The first is, just traveling around Earth is indeed quite uninteresting."
"The second problem is, during the trip, just staying inside the ship ans the journey can’t be too long. And I think, for such trips, not many would want to experience it a second ti."
The senior leader thought for a mont and said, "The first problem should be easy to solve, right? You’ve already completed Mars exploration. If the ships are built bigger, Martian travel could be achieved."
"It’s not that simple!" Zhao Yi said with a wry smile, "The cost has to be considered. Technically, it’s not a problem, but building such a large vessel, with a space shield and both takeoff and landing capabilities, cost is a key issue."
"A cruise ship of this caliber would be dozens of tis more expensive."
The construction cost of a cruise ship was around 20 billion; dozens of tis more would be at least several hundred billion. With such costs, plus the heavy maintenance fees, it would be too difficult to recoup the investnt.
This isn’t a mature technology like a cruise liner that can be rolled out anyti. A space cruise needs at least half a month’s maintenance after returning to Earth. Going to space twice a month is already considered a high frequency.
Moreover, due to the expensive price, the market is very limited.
Zhao Yi continued, "The second problem is the dullness of the journey. I was thinking, if the Lunar Base is built in the future, we could offer lunar trips. Tourists could dine in the base, which would certainly be a novel experience and a rest stop during the journey."
"But the best would be if we could develop ’gravity’ technology. I keep thinking, is there a way to create a gravity technology that could allow the ship to function like in sci-fi movies, where everyone inside could walk on solid ground."
The senior leader imdiately asked, "Is there any progress?"
Zhao Yi shrugged, "No, we don’t have a direction at all."
"What a pity!" the senior leader expressed so regret.
Zhao Yi shook his head, "All technologies take ti to develop, gravity technology is no different. Maybe we’ll find sothing in the future."
The senior leader suddenly burst into laughter, pointing at Zhao Yi, "Technologies take ti to develop? Hearing you say that sounds almost like a joke."
"Don’t tell you have no direction now, and before long, you’ll tell it’s been developed, right?"
"Ha ha——"
Zhao Yi laughed and shook his head, "This ti, I really don’t have it!"
