The return trip on the sightseeing spaceship wasn’t pleasant, feeling more like an ordeal compared to the relaxation of the ascent.
Zhao Yi’s experience was just like that, he was strapped into his seat by two safety belts, occasionally feeling as if he were about to break free and fly off.
He and Lin Xiaoqing sat next to each other, yet he didn’t even feel like talking, just wishing to land as quickly as possible.
The other passengers’ experiences varied, with so finding it quite enjoyable, even chatting and laughing in their seats—those people certainly had nerves of steel.
Therefore, Zhao Yi realized that he definitely wasn’t suited for bungee jumping-like activities and also discovered he really disliked the sensation of weightlessness.
After this space experience, he decided he would stay on Earth in the future; the feeling of solid ground under his feet was much more comforting.
Finally.
The sightseeing spaceship landed on the ground, the anti-gravity system shut down, and the announcent reminded everyone to unbuckle their safety belts, gather their luggage, and disembark in an orderly fashion.
"We’re finally here!"
Zhao Yi said with a pained expression, "If anyone enjoyed this space trip, I would really admire them. Now, I regret coming here."
Lin Xiaoqing laughed, "You just don’t exercise enough, your body’s in bad shape. I didn’t mind it at all; I thought it was quite nice. If there’s a chance—"
"No!"
Zhao Yi quickly waved his hand, "There will be other opportunities, but I definitely won’t co again, unless one day, we can develop technology to create gravity so it feels just like being on land inside the spaceship."
"Then you’ll have to work hard, because I think you’re the only one who can achieve that technology."
Lin Xiaoqing stated full of confidence.
She felt proud of her man’s achievents, and had a lot of trust in his capabilities.
"Phew!"
Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing picked up their luggage together, following the crowd out of the sightseeing ship. Once off the ship and on solid ground, he felt much more at ease and a smile found its way back onto his face.
He said to Lin Xiaoqing with certainty, "If there’s no accident, this ship will officially start operating in a month, and I will reserve so tickets in advance as gifts for other friends."
"Sun Liang definitely won’t escape it!"
"Brother Chao would probably like it too, and then there’s," he thought for a mont and a na suddenly popped up in his mind, "Li Renzhe! Old Li! Haha, given his plump figure, he’d surely enjoy a trip to space. I’ll let him and Huang Wenqian go, consider it a gift for them!"
Zhao Yi was sowhat excited.
Maybe Sun Liang and Xu Chao would actually enjoy the space tour, but Li Renzhe surely wouldn’t, probably arriving with great enthusiasm only to return in pain and sorrow.
Zhao Yi felt this firsthand from his own experience.
Of course.
It wasn’t really about pain and sorrow; even if the process was difficult and sad, having the chance to go to space was still a rare and valuable experience.
In the short term, it was simply not possible for the average person.
Li Renzhe had decent ans, but spending millions on a space tour was clearly unlikely.
Zhao Yi’s mood improved as he thought about it.
After disembarking the sightseeing ship, the group couldn’t leave imdiately as they had to undergo specialized health check-ups at the hospital to ensure that the prolonged period of weightlessness hadn’t adversely affected their health.
Luckily, they didn’t have to be quarantined like astronauts, as astronauts are ant to exit the ship and live in space long-term, whereas they had only spent one day in space and had never left the enclosed sightseeing ship, so there weren’t likely to be any problems.
A series of examinations and the wait for their results took over two hours.
Once it was confird there were no issues, Zhao Yi and Lin Xiaoqing returned ho, where he just wanted to lie down in his bed and take a long, peaceful sleep.
anwhile, the fifth test of the sightseeing ship beca public knowledge, with the focus on Zhao Yi boarding the ship and completing his space journey. Many photos were released, including ones of Zhao Yi on board the spacecraft.
Zhao Yi was the central figure in the promotional campaign.
Apparently.
The Yixing Company was behind the publicity, with the Aerospace Bureau also cooperatively releasing the news.
This type of promotion was to lay the groundwork for the official comrcial operation of the sightseeing ship. Reporting on Zhao Yi’s space journey was the best form of advertisent, signaling to everyone that their sightseeing ship was extrely safe.
Many dia outlets covered the story, which made a lot of people look forward to the official operation of the sightseeing ship.
Three days later.
The operational plan for the sightseeing ship was decided, including two main points. One was the operational date, set for the sixteenth of next month, about a month and a half away.
In a month and a half’s ti, they could undertake a series of upgrades and adjustnts to the interior of the sightseeing ship, aiming to provide a better experience for tourists.
The other point was ticket pricing.
After a series of discussions and etings, ticket prices were set at two levels: one was the dostic price of 2.49 million yuan, and the other was the foreign price of 400,000 U.S. dollars based on the current exchange rate.
Soon, the Yixing Company announced its comrcial operation plan for the sightseeing ship and began direct pre-sale reservations for both dostic and international custors; handling transactions in the hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions of yuan through regulated accounts.
For each purchaser, the Yixing Company would provide dedicated service staff to track paynts, personnel registration, and other asures, with tickets directly linked to identity cards and passport numbers.
This was to prevent ticket scalping.
At the end of the day, the ticket price wasn’t expensive, in fact, it was quite reasonable.
