"Good long time, Qian Zhizhong and the other three forced to suppress the desire in their hearts."
After exchanging glances, the three men all fell into deep thought.
If before they were merely worried about the funding source for the South Heaven Gate, after combining the technical data mentioned by Su Heng, there was an underlying sense of more thoughts in their hearts.
Reducing the internal power generation and electricity costs of Longcun village is ultimately just a matter of saving money!
An engineering project like the South Heaven Gate cannot rely solely on cost-saving measures!
To maintain these things, a much larger source of funding is needed, or in other words, we need to increase revenue!
"Xiao Su, you just mentioned something about the magnetic levitation aircraft. Can you explain it to us in more detail?"
After a good half hour of contemplation, Qian Zhizhong returned his gaze to Su Heng and asked in a deep voice.
Magnetic levitation aircraft?
Upon hearing the name, both Qiao Zhenhai and the other person were stunned.
Soon, Su Heng's mind quickly recalled the content of the initial words he had spoken.
Recalling those things, Qiao Zhenhai and Qin Shan exchanged a glance and quickly understood Qian Zhizhong's thought.
Then, both of them directly turned their gaze towards Su Heng.
According to Su Heng's previous statement, the magnetic suspension power system of the South Heaven Gate is an upgrade developed by Su Heng based on his own previously developed magnetic suspension aircraft!
They didn't know what Su Heng's magnetic suspension aircraft was, but combining the content Su Heng had just mentioned, they could roughly guess.
If their thoughts are correct, perhaps they can indeed find a more extensive source of funding!
At the same time, it could also bring immense benefits to the hundred million residents of Longcun village that are beyond imagination!
In front of the three of them, facing the expectant eyes of Qian Zhizhong and the others, Su Heng pondered for a moment before saying directly:
"Magnetic levitation aircraft, as the name suggests, are aircraft made using magnetic levitation technology..."
Speaking, Su Heng turned his gaze to the virtual light of "Hundun" next to him and said: "Hundun, open the cloud carriage flight vehicle model data..."
Buzz!!
With Su Heng's voice, it was almost as if there was no pause, a light directly appeared in front of them.
In just a moment, the indigo light had condensed into a brand-new virtual model!
Cloud Cart?
Watching the virtual model condense before them, Qian Zhizhong and the other two had subtle changes in their eyes.
At this moment, Su Heng continued:
"The Cloud Cart, which is the magnetic levitation aircraft I mentioned earlier, can fly at a speed of no more than 300 kilometers per hour and at an altitude of no more than 200 meters, with a maximum flight distance of 3,000 kilometers..."
"The Cloud Cart is something I came up with on a whim. The core technology is the magnetic levitation power plant. Of course, the initial version of the Cloud Cart also had a micro-nuclear fission reactor..."
"??" Hearing Su Heng's voice, Qian Zhizhong and the others were shocked in their hearts.
"Micro-nuclear fission reactor???"
At this moment, the three of them couldn't help but turn pale.
"Xiao Su, are you planning to equip civil aircraft with nuclear power?"
It's understandable for the three of them to be shocked. Nuclear power is no small matter!
And it's one of the least safe nuclear fission reactors!
This thing, to some extent, is a massive source of pollution!
In case of an accident, it would certainly cause unimaginable massive destruction and losses!
Even if Su Heng's technology is advanced and the safety measures are strong, not having accidents doesn't mean it's safe!
To be honest, if these things fall into the hands of those with malicious intentions, they would be ticking time bombs!
Who knows how many innocent people might suffer at that time!
Not to mention the technology to miniaturize it, even if there is such technology, they couldn't possibly mass-produce something like this for conventional civilian use!
Now, Su Heng is actually planning to make it a regular use?
This is equivalent to dancing on a wire!
Facing the suspicious eyes of the three, Su Heng smiled and then said:
"At first, I indeed thought of this. However, after considering the insecurity of the Cloud Cart, I have only produced two machines so far, one of which is still a prototype and has been destroyed, and the other one's reactor core has been dismantled..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhizhong and the others quietly let out a breath.
Thank goodness!
If Su Heng really wants to mass-produce nuclear fission technology for civilian use, their heads must be big!
They couldn't even imagine what the scene would be like with hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of small nuclear fission reactors flying in the sky!
At the thought of that situation, the three couldn't help but feel their scalp tingle!
"Hu..."
Taking a deep breath, Qian Zhizhong suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
Then he continued, "Xiao Su, you just said 'initial Cloud Cart'? That means you already have a more advanced second-generation [Cloud Cart] in your possession?"
"Hmm" Su Heng nodded slightly and said: "Considering the unreliability of the nuclear fission reactor, after acquiring Shunfeng, I re-planneded and designed the [Cloud Cart]..."
"There are three versions of the [Cloud Cart] now, the first is the hyper sports car type of airborne roller coaster design inherited from the initial [Cloud Cart], the second is a magnetic levitation cargo truck for transportation, and the third is a magnetic levitation bus similar to those in science fiction movies..."
"These three versions of the [Cloud Cart] have all had their internal energy systems fully replaced. Now, they are equipped with the sixth-generation Tengyun batteries from the Longyuan, Bisui, and Chiwenni."
"According to my design, the hyper sports car type of airborne roller coaster in the [Cloud Cart] can fly 1,000 kilometers after charging once. The [Cloud Cart] cargo truck can fly 500 to 1,000 kilometers depending on the loading capacity. Similarly, the [Cloud Cart] bus can fly 500 to 2,000 kilometers depending on the specifications..."
In total, Su Heng spoke extensively.
With Su Heng's voice, Qian Zhizhong and the others couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.
They had never imagined that while they were still thinking about how to open up new sources of funding and save costs, Su Heng had already done so much without making a sound!
Acquire Shunfeng?
They also know about this matter.
Since it involves Su Heng, and Shunfeng was at least a thousand-billion-dollar company, and it was also listed!
How could such a thing as the delisting of Shunfeng due to Su Heng's acquisition be concealed?
Even if they didn't intentionally investigate, it's not a secret that is hidden from them.
They just didn't expect that Su Heng had acquired Shunfeng, which was fine, but now he had prepared magnetic levitation aircraft as black technology!
"Xiao Su, are you planning to use these magnetic levitation aircraft as delivery vehicles?"
After hesitating for a long time, Qian Zhizhong couldn't help but ask in a leisurely tone.
Upon hearing this, Su Heng fell silent.
He indeed had that thought.
Or, he has already started laying the groundwork, and if it weren't for the delay caused by the South Heaven Gate project, he would have already started acting...
Seeing this, Qian Zhizhong couldn't help but smile bitterly again.
The corners of the mouths of Qiao Zhenhai and the other two beside him also couldn't help but twitch slightly.
At this moment, all three of them had a more complete understanding of Su Heng's "wasteful" behavior.
Magnetic levitation aircraft!
This technology, anywhere in the world, would be a groundbreaking technological revolution that could shake the world!
Even if they don't understand business, they also know that once this technology is made public, it can easily create a super car or super carrier brand that can crush the entire world!
Imagine for a moment, how can any of the ground vehicles currently in use compare to these magnetic levitation aircraft that Su Heng has mentioned?
Brands like Blue Origin, Bugatti, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce...
What are these luxury cars compared to Su Heng's magnetic levitation aircraft?
Comparing them to a firefly versus a full moon would not be an overstatement!
Of course, the market for luxury cars is limited, and hoping to make profits from luxury cars is nothing more than a dream.
If developed into a common private luxury car, a super car brand worth a hundred billion yuan could be created with ease!
Looking at the world, in the face of Su Heng's black technology, not a single one of them can compete!
And yet, in Su Heng's hands, it's just intended to be used for delivering packages!
How extravagant is that?
Thinking of this, Qian Zhizhong said softly, "Xiao Su, have you ever thought about developing these aircraft into a car brand?"
"Car brand?" Facing the question, Su Heng shook his head slightly and said, "I naturally thought about this, but after careful consideration, I still gave up..."
"Give up?" Qian Zhizhong and the others were stunned, "Why?"
At this moment, all three were puzzled.
Since Su Heng has considered it, he should be very clear about the huge profits involved.
Developing express delivery, even if developed to the extreme, how much profit can there be?
If it were cars, there could be trillions of yuan in profit, so much wealth that it couldn't be contained even if loaded onto train cars!
And yet, Su Heng would directly give up on this?
Facing the inquiry from the three, Su Heng did not directly respond but instead asked:
"Qian Senior, you have also seen my industry before. How do you think of my industry, especially my manufacturing sector?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Zhizhong and the others were stunned.
And then they all fell into deep thought.
Impression?
High-tech?
Advanced?
Maximum cost-performance?
Thoughts, one after another, kept crossing in the minds of several people.
Until a moment, a spark of insight suddenly emerged in their minds.
Looking back at Su Heng, the eyes of Qian Zhizhong and the others were filled with profound complexity.
During that time, they thought a lot.
What was their first impression of Su Heng's industry?
Naturally, it was advanced!
Unparalleled, the most advanced in the world!
But it was clearly not Su Heng's intention to ask them about this.
Neither could it be a reason for Su Heng to give up a trillion-dollar industry.
On the contrary, if it were just these, Su Heng would have even more reasons to control a trillion-dollar industry!
After all, anyone with common sense could see that things like magnetic levitation aircraft are simply a way to make money without doing anything!
But Su Heng didn't!
Is it so hard to give up? Even if we don't talk about being advanced, why did Su Heng choose to give it up?
Thinking back to the various things Su Heng has done for Long Village before, they came to a conclusion - Su Heng is not going to compete with ordinary people for profits!
Su Heng's industry is too advanced, and the advanced industrial system brings about a sharp decrease in various costs!
One of the most fundamental expressions, it is the cost of labor!
Before, they had seen the production lines of Su Heng's various industries, all of which were intelligent and unmanned!
A smart AI and a bunch of intelligent robots directly replace countless human workers!
What does this mean?
It represents more than just an improvement in productivity; it also means that Su Heng does not need more people here!
Similarly, this also means that ordinary production workers have been largely eliminated in Su Heng's operations!
The automobile industry is how big?
Last year, the global automobile market was more than ten thousand billion green currency!
The surrounding market for automobiles is valued at several trillion green currency!
Just the automobile-related market in Long Village has a massive body of several trillion green currency!
And such a huge market represents how many workers, how many families?
Just like how Su Heng couldn't widely promote smart education before.
Behind smart education, there are millions of teachers and their families, tens of millions of family members!
If the work of these millions of teachers is replaced by smart AI, what will these millions of teachers eat? What will the tens of millions behind them eat?
Can't Su Heng take care of everything on his own?
It's clearly not possible!
The automobile market is the same. If Su Heng does it himself, he will undoubtedly reduce costs to the extreme!
This would correspondingly mean that Su Heng would eliminate countless workers from related industries!
How many workers are there in a market worth tens of trillion green currency?
That would represent a terrifying figure that an ordinary person can hardly imagine!
The consequences of their unemployment would be unimaginable!
Thinking about these things, the eyes of Qian Zhizhong and the others became even more complex.
Subconsciously, they felt an inexplicable admiration for the young man in front of them, who is half their age or less.
To step back in the face of such vast profits, to resist the temptation of those benefits, such character... It's hard to find many like him in the whole world.
Looking at capitalists all over the world, who wouldn't want to grab all the wealth into their own pockets?
As for the lives of ordinary people?
What does it matter to them?
Ordinary people are nothing more than beasts of burden to capitalists!
A tool for making money!
Consumables!
More like grass!
If they could, capitalists would even want to squeeze every drop of marrow from ordinary people!
Even if their pockets are already filled with wealth that could last for several lifetimes, or even dozens, hundreds, or thousands of lifetimes!
"Thank you, Xiao Su!"
Suddenly, Qian Zhizhong spoke out, saying something that sounded somewhat baffling.
Upon hearing Qian Zhizhong's voice, the two people beside him, Qiao Zhenhai and the others, were taken aback for a moment before quickly comprehending the situation.
"Yes, Xiao Su, here, we represent Long Village, and thank you for your hard work!"
After regaining composure, Qiao Zhenhai and the others also began speaking in a solemn manner.
Su Heng has countless opportunities to compete for profit with the people. Even if Su Heng really wanted to do so, no one in Long Village could compete with Su Heng!
However, Su Heng hasn't!
Just this one thing, in the eyes of Qian Zhizhong and the others, Su Heng deserves a "thank you"!
Facing the three people's bewildering words, Su Heng quickly understood the situation and then smiled:
"Mr. Qian, you've been exaggerating. In fact, I was only thinking about myself. After all, if I really did that, my head might as well be moved to another place. I'm young, I haven't even married my wife, and I still want to take my wife and children to travel around the country after retirement and enjoy life..."
