A moment of great change in the history of human transportation has arrived, the human footprint company passed, the Telegraph officially announced the official opening of the free global travel route, from the southernmost tip of Africa to the whole Asia, North America, and finally to the southernmost point of South America, the whole journey is 30,000 kilometers, there are countless scenery along the way, there are 100 no-man's land settlements in the early stage, tourists can spend about 3 hours on the airship in these 100 settlements to eat, drink and have fun, and the scenery of the settlement is quite unique, Try not to repeat.

Although it is free, because the route does not pass through Europe, Europeans have to take a train, a ship, or an airship to the port of Windsor, the capital of Israel, before they can start the journey with the free blue whale in the air. The inhabitants of India, China, the Soviet Union and the United States were happier because the routes passed through their lands and were closer.

In order to transport passengers in full pits and valleys, ordinary passengers on the same flight must depart and stop at each stop at the same time. There are also paid "freedom tickets" that allow passengers to depart at any time, as long as there is a flight. In order to stimulate spending, each passenger will be given a travel bracelet that can be used to pay for the journey, and of course, the more travelers who add to the travel bracelet, the more priority they will be given to flights, and those who want to travel around the world but are not wealthy may not be able to embark on the journey until later.

Major cities in Europe have opened direct airships to the human footprint route, according to the Telegraph, the footprint company opened 100 blue whale luxury airships for the first wave of tourists, each airship can carry 200 passengers, the first 20,000 passengers to the travel bracelet to add an average of 100 pounds, if they spend all this money, the first wave of business on this super tourist route is 2 million pounds, which is really a scary number.

Of course, the £2 million went into the pockets of the merchants who had placed great trust in the Windsor consortium in the joint development of the settlement, including the Suiyuan Hotel, which became the leader of the high-end Chinese restaurants. In order to protect the interests of tourists, all goods have the right to return, as long as a certain depreciation fee is paid according to the classification of goods. The average globetrotter who buys something in a foreign country can still return it? That's a fantasy, I'm afraid only footprint companies can do this, and that's the benefit of monopoly.

The travel bracelet has become a big opportunity for Downing to promote bracelet payment, after the trip, tourists can return the bracelet to get the balance back, or they can keep this payment tool and spend it at the merchants who cooperate with the Windsor consortium. At the same time, the Bank of Zurich officially issued a "payment bracelet", becoming an extension of the credit card, its main purpose is to simplify payment, do not need to sign like a credit card to consume, in the field of micropayment is quite suitable, of course, the tyrant can also recharge a huge amount of wealth into the bracelet.

Since the bracelet payment is the only means of payment when traveling, everything it buys can be traced back to the seller. Probably the biggest item of travel consumption is a specialty from around the globe and, in the case of handicrafts, can even be traced back to a specific artisan. Downing has always been quite kind to artists, and if the craftsmen of these strange works of art are very popular in the number of jù shown, they will also attract the attention of the Footprint Company, and they may invite him to go to the metropolis for a personal exhibition, so that art can be spread to the whole world.

In order to attract tourists, the company can be said to be extremely provocative, sending photographers to capture a large number of exquisite scenery pictures of the round-the-world route, and ******** the middle class who love nature, so that the number of tourists is amazing today.

There are some landscapes that are so intoxicating that many people plan to stay there for a while, and Downing has taken the opportunity to introduce another big category of cars: caravans. Earlier, he designed a mini reindeer for reindeer herders to pull a small RV that can be pulled, and now the RV model also includes this, which is called "reindeer class". In addition to the bedroom type, the reindeer-class RV also has a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and office type, which can be combined by customers at will, and all of them can be rented at a reasonable price on a daily basis, so as not to discourage tourists who do not have much leisure time. Its price is roughly equivalent to the daily price of staying in a small hotel, which is 3 shillings (20 shillings for a pound one).

In addition, there is also a large and ultra-luxurious RV with a width of 4 meters and a length of 20 meters, which is equivalent to an 80-square-meter house, which is called "Xinggong level". It has all the convenience of your home, and it is also a basic excellent service with integrated water and electricity equipment, which is a great tool for wealthy tourists to enjoy the joy of life in attractions around the world. His price was 14 shillings per day of staying in a large hotel.

If you have your own car, that's fine, if not, the rental car company learns to provide moving services, and there are airship crane services in some places where birds don't lay eggs. At this time, the travel bracelet also has the function of calling for help, as long as the red distress dial is turned on, there will be an airship patrolling at high altitude to receive your electronic signal. The travel bracelet has ultrasonic resonance to activate electricity, so even if it runs out of hydrogen fuel, the patrol airship's ultrasonic sweep over your area will find that you have dialed the bracelet to the "SOS" position, provided you are within 200 kilometers of the human footprint.

Tang Ning thought that the promotion of freight logistics by the main artery of the earth would make a lot of money for its transportation function, but he didn't expect that it was a free no-man's land tourism project to make a lot of money, and it is no wonder that all the poor countries in Africa and the Middle East have passed through, and they have the spending power of Europe, America, China, India and Japan tour groups.

The successful opening of the earth's main artery means the arrival of the era of "electrified airship", and business analysis generally believes that the speed of the land-based Blue Whale-class airship reaches 100 kilometers and does not need to load a large amount of fuel, so the transportation efficiency is higher than that of shipping, and shipping cannot be electrified.

Downing disagrees with these analyses, saying that the advantages of ocean transportation are still very strong, saying: "In addition to erecting air train tracks for major cities around the world, my next step is to once again carry forward the maritime transport and build a nautical vehicle with a speed of 500 kilometers per hour and a greatly reduced fuel cost." ”

World public opinion was in an uproar for a while, everyone thought that the speed of the ship could not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and now Boss Tang actually said that he would build a 500 kilometers per hour, is it a spaceship? That's right! It's a flying ship. Now, scientists and engineers from all over the world are studying how to copy helicopters, in addition to others, there are also people studying fixed-wing aircraft, once they discover the secret of flight, they will soon find another secret in the process of landing the plane will suddenly feel the lift transmitted from the ground to the aircraft, which is called the wing-ground effect.

When the moving aircraft flies close to the ground or water surface, the air flow will flow backwards and downwards after flowing through the wings, and then the ground or water surface will produce a reaction force, when it flies at an altitude equal to or less than 1/2 wingspan from the water surface, the pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the whole body increases, the lift force will increase sharply, and the drag will decrease, blocking the aircraft wing from falling. This is a physical phenomenon that can reduce the induced drag of the aircraft and at the same time obtain a higher lift-to-drag ratio than in the air.

It is difficult to find a large flat route on the ground, so the wing-ground effect aircraft can be used almost exclusively for water flights, but it is possible to land at a dedicated airfield on the shore. Because it can obtain huge lift, it can be built to resemble the carrying capacity of a ship, as Downing envisioned a giant spaceship with a length of 122 meters, even a ship is considered large, in order to lift such a huge monster, the wingspan has reached 152 meters, and its payload is 1400 tons, almost reaching the level of the largest ship except for the Great Eastern class ocean-going giants.

It is difficult to fly high without the wing-ground effect, so it flies at an altitude of about 6 to 15 meters. In order to avoid collisions with ships at sea, it has to deviate from the main shipping lane, and it will be affected by the waves and violently turbulent when it takes off and lands at sea, and the passengers will be very uncomfortable, so it has to build a large special airport for it, unless it is a war, it mainly uses a special airport for take-off and landing.

Speaking of war, this is a major feature of its strategic deterrence, which can deliver up to 280 helicopters weighing 5 tons to the battlefield along the coastal road, such as from Singapore to Madagascar, 6,800 kilometers, only 13. 6 hours. From San Francisco to Taiwan, 10,000 kilometers, it only takes 20 hours. The combat radius of these helicopters is again a thousand kilometers, so that the forces of Windsor imperialism can be deployed to most of the entire planet in 24 hours.

The wing-to-ground effect makes the aircraft more efficient than the fixed-wing, and the fuel can be saved by one-third, however, this is not enough to satisfy Downing in a non-war state, after all, the "zero fuel cost" table of the earth's main artery is too good, Downing wants to make the wing-to-ground effect aircraft achieve similar results, he is ready to build a sea hydrogen refueling station, on the busiest route every two hours there is a large hydrogen refueling station, that is, 1000 kilometers.

In the ocean, the depth is several thousand meters at every turn, and of course these hydrogen refueling stations are floating, and in order to fix their position, they must also have power to counteract the drift by wind and waves. In Downing's design, they are squares, with a huge windmill at each corner, and the winds in the center of the ocean are extremely violent, especially when there are typhoons. For this reason, it was not necessary to design a horizontal axis, but an H-shaped with strong balance ability.

The buildings on the platform are all covered with perovskite solar conversion films, and there is a giant water and electricity integration equipment floating on the roof, which not only increases the power supply, but also provides water sources for the platform employees, without the need for seawater desalination.

The surplus fresh water also allows employees to grow a variety of vegetables, and this platform is 100 meters by 100 meters, and the space of 10,000 square meters is spacious enough for employees to use their talents. In an effort to improve their lives, Downing has also licensed the "£120,000-a-year" sonar fishing fork technology to the platform's employees, who are apparently likely to sell seafood to passing supply ships (not necessarily just wing-effect aircraft).

Working at sea can be a little boring, but the ground effect machine is fast enough to almost allow seafarers to go home to their families on the weekend, and the ground effect machine has a lot of capacity, so there is no stress to leave a few seats for them to take a ride. （http：／／.)。

The sea, the sky, and the sun are all used, so there must be enough electricity to split water to make hydrogen? But Downing is not satisfied, and there is still no use of the sea. The ocean is a huge solar absorber, and below 200 meters is a sunless zone, so the temperature difference is extremely large. In the Tropic of Cancer region, the surface water temperature is about 23 to 28 degrees, and the temperature at a depth of 1,000 meters is only about 4 degrees.

This kilometer of temperature difference can also be used to generate electricity. This is done by extracting seawater with a high surface temperature, boiling a low-boiling liquid (such as ammonia) in a heat exchanger into vapor, then pushing a generator to generate electricity, and then feeding it into another heat exchanger, where it is cooled using deep seawater, and so on.

This 10,000-square-meter block concentrates four power generation methods, which is really the pinnacle of the energy industry, depending on the situation, it may also be possible to replenish fuel for third-party ships, if there are ten supply stations between two ports, the ships can theoretically save 10 times the fuel space, all exchanged for cargo, full of wealth.
