The tour group’s first official operational flight took off and the process was very smooth; however, many still worried that problems would arise during the first operation.
This was mainly because the first ti was extrely important and there was no related experience; even minor issues could potentially beco major problems.
Zhao Yi wasn’t worried about the operation. He used the Law of Cause and Effect to check the sightseeing ship and found no problems with the ship’s body, which ant there wouldn’t be any safety accidents.
As long as there were no safety incidents, everything else was a minor issue.
For example, services during the trip, food, travel experience, and so on.
Since it involved a new market domain with no references to draw upon, it was not possible to be perfect in every aspect, and there was still a need for continuous exploration.
Zhao Yi was very concerned about the service experience of space travel.
So, although there were no direct competitors at the mont, many top companies hoped to enter the space travel industry and sell space ships officially in the future, which would then bring other companies into the competition.
Although Yixing did not rely on space travel for profits, as a ship manufacturing company, they definitely had to ensure service quality, setting a benchmark for the industry.
Zhao Yi’s requirent for space travel was that after each trip, feedback from every passenger must be solicited, and improvents should be made wherever possible.
Thus, the travel experience would gradually improve.
After many operational flights, it would gradually beco mature.
After attending the first operational launch ceremony of the sightseeing ship, Zhao Yi turned his attention to the transport ship, which was already built and waiting for its first test flight.
The transport ship was to undergo three test flights, but the testing cost was higher due to greater technical difficulty, higher work requirents, and the transport ship’s larger size, which made control more challenging.
For the transport ship’s three tests, the first was a routine empty flight orbiting Earth.
The second involved full-load orbiting Earth.
The third test would rely on the Intelligent Control System to send the transport ship to the moon and back once, orbiting the moon twenty-seven tis mid-journey.
If there were no major issues after the third test, routine testing and transport operations could comnce. At that stage, the Lunar Base project could enter its first step—transporting base vehicles to the moon to search for the most suitable construction site.
The testing of the transport ship did not require much attention as Yixing and the Aerospace Bureau could complete it together.
The related technology was already quite mature by now. A space ship’s test flight orbiting the moon was relatively a minor project, and there should be no issues during the testing process.
Zhao Yi only needed to wait for news; they would only contact him if a major problem occurred.
Space exploration safety was of utmost importance, so Zhao Yi was concerned about the safety ships manufactured by the Aerospace Bureau. The safety ships, designed and manufactured by the Bureau, employed solar energy transmission technology as their power source and were enclosed simple-control spacecraft.
These safety ships only relied on electric motors powered by solar energy transmission, allowing the ship to navigate space at low speeds.
Technically, the safety ships were very simple.
The safety ships would be directly mounted on the transport ship. In the event of an ergency, astronauts could use the safety ships to evacuate, effectively abandoning the transport ship.
Actually, safety ships were very easy to understand, much like lifeboats on a seagoing vessel.
If sothing went wrong with a larger ship, occupants could escape in the smaller boat.
Zhao Yi visited the construction of the transport ship and provided so technical guidance to ensure that the safety ship’s supplies could last even longer.
After inspecting the safety ship, Zhao Yi returned to his research work with peace of mind. In the technology departnt building, he waited for Edward Witten, Qiu Chengwen, and others.
The technology departnt building was designated by higher-ups for research and developnt.
In reality, the research environnt would have been better at a university, but due to confidentiality and the convenience of the location, they ultimately chose the vacant floors of the technology departnt.
Qiu Chengwen, Edward Witten, and others arrived.
The first to et Zhao Yi was Zhang Qican, who had been waiting for a long ti. He had always served as Zhao Yi’s assistant and ca over as soon as he received the ssage.
The two of them waited together for Edward Witten to arrive.
Edward Witten was still very enthusiastic. He hugged Zhao Yi and said with so emotion, "Zhao Yi, I knew you would think of for such important research. Thank you."
"No need for thanks, I believe in you," Zhao Yi said with a smile. "No one is more suited for this research than you are."
"I believe that’s the case."
Edward Witten was very inford, but up to this point, he didn’t know what the research was about. He just knew it related to Z-waves, a highly confidential technology. Being privy to such cutting-edge technology, he felt very excited, "So, what’s the research about? Can you tell now?"
"Let’s wait for Professor Qiu to join us. I don’t want to explain it twice."
Zhao Yi said, shaking his head.
"Alright," Edward Witten complained helplessly, "I don’t even know when he’ll arrive, and every minute of waiting feels like torture."
While they were waiting for others to arrive, Zhao Yi chatted with Edward Witten. Edward brought up other matters, "A few old colleagues have emailed , saying they’d like to co here to conduct research. They asked if I have the capacity to bring them over."
