Chapter 78 Space Age Developers

The moment they reached the open-air roof of the building, everyone was immediately surrounded by sunlight and strong winds. The blue sky above seemed much clearer than usual.

Because this building uses nanomaterials, there is no need to consider architectural issues, so it is over a thousand meters high. Standing on it is enough to overlook the entire Verne Island.

However, they soon discovered that they were not the first group of people. There was already a small group of people waiting on the roof. Shui Wa was surprised to find that these people were all his Spider-Man friends.

"Now, we invite everyone to experience this gentleman's work."

After Sai finished speaking, the spider-men put safety belts on the senior officials of the three major fleets and aerospace agencies and asked them to stand on the hanging platform used by the spider-men.

Then those people screamed in horror, because the hanging board dropped to five or six meters from the edge of the roof and stopped moving, instead hovering in mid-air.

"You idiot, hurry up and pull us up!" The commander of the American Fleet pointed at the manager of the cleaning company and yelled in unskilled Chinese.

When the latter was about to instruct Spider-Man to pull these big men up, Sai stopped the manager, but stuck his head and said to the people below: "Each of you must clean a piece of glass before you can come up."

Of course, those people can't clean the glass. All they can do is hold on to the seat belt or the rope of the hanging board and dare not move. It is impossible to let go of one hand to pick up the brush on the hanging board or open the cleaning machine.

The lid of the tank.

"This also means that the adventurous era of the aerospace industry is over. It is no longer just a job performed by a few scientists and engineers. Allowing ordinary people to enter space on a large scale is the first step in the industrialization of space development!"

Shui Wa also looked below. The only exception was the chief of staff of the Asian Fleet. He was the only one who was cleaning the glass calmly. What surprised him was the level of this man.

So Say continued: "Yes, we all know that Columbus discovered America and Colonel Cook discovered Oceania."

"Accidents encountered when cleaning space structures may be caused by astronauts drifting by mistake, missing tools or materials, or failure of life support systems."

He was working with both hands, not holding on to anything to steady himself, but his hanging board was motionless against the wall. This was considered a veteran among Spider-Man.

"Do you think tens of millions is a lot for me?" Sai smiled mysteriously at the cleaning company: "It's not about saving cleaning fees. I deliberately kept the education level of the cleaners to the lowest this time.

"

"Just like my company likes to hire Indians because their annual salary is only 20,000 yuan, is it the same reason why you hire ordinary people instead of astronauts?"

"What's the key point?"

"This reminds me of a Chinese story. The oil seller poured the oil into the oil pot through the square hole of a copper coin. The skills required are as superb as the general's shooting the arrow into the bull's-eye. The only difference lies in their identities.

"The chief of staff of the Asia Fleet agreed.

"Save money." The manager of the cleaning company said: "In commercial aerospace, the annual salary of regular astronauts is more than one million. We guys can save you tens of millions every year."

What excites Say is that this person's logic is very clear, and he is one of the few people who is basically non-responsive.

"Yes." Sai took over the conversation and said: "The same applies to high-altitude cleaning work. For example, space building cleaning work and high-altitude cleaning work are actually similar in terms of ergonomics and required psychological quality."

"But both America and Australia were developed by ordinary working people. These pioneers were at the bottom of society in Europe at that time."

In their daily work, they work with equipment at an altitude of tens of thousands of kilometers on drawings or documents every day, but in this personal experience, the altitude of several thousand meters has left them in awe.

On the way back in the elevator, the manager of the cleaning company leaned into Sai's ear and said, "Of course, in front of little brothers like Shui Wa and me, you can't point out the key points."

(See the ninth episode of the animation for details on pushing boxes, it is as stupid as the space slide)

"The same goes for space development. In my plan, the near-Earth space of the Earth and the Moon will become the center of the Earth-Moon economic circle, and those space cities will be London, New York, Singapore and Hong Kong in the future."

"Marshal, please tell me frankly, is there a big difference between the cleaning work in front of you and the cleaning work in the zero-gravity environment of space?" Sai asked him.

"As soon as this precedent is set, I can fill other positions in near-Earth space with ordinary undergraduate graduates. Speaking of which, do you know how many people are working in space now?"

However, when Shui Wa recognized this person as an astronaut from the Shenzhou spacecraft before the Crisis Era, what he saw in front of him was not surprising.

"Sixty thousand people, more than 30,000 people in the lunar base and lunar mines, more than 20,000 people in the space elevator and space dock, plus thousands of crew members on the cargo spacecraft, this is a year's labor cost alone.

There are 70 to 80 billion."

"Just in terms of physical strength and skills, there is not much difference." The chief of staff of the Asian Fleet raised his head and said to Say: "Nowadays, the cost and physical fitness requirements of going to space are almost zero. Ordinary people can go to space to do many jobs."

"If ordinary people are used to supplement it, the savings will not be tens of millions, but tens of billions. There is really nothing we can do. As you said, PDC really doesn't have much money left." Sai shrugged.

road.

"Accidents encountered when cleaning high-altitude buildings may include broken glass, falling tools or cleaning agents, or broken seat belts."

"You're right, but can you get us up first?!" the people below wailed.

It seems that even in the three-body universe of the defense, there are normal people.

"How much?" the cleaning company manager asked curiously.

"For example, the freight transportation work in the space elevator is nothing more than pushing boxes in a weightless environment and moving forward automatically by superconducting belts. However, we let commercial astronauts with doctorate degrees do this repetitive work."

"Both each other." The manager said to Sai: "I remember how romantic space exploration was during the Cold War and the Soviet-American space race. I didn't expect it to be as tacky as a company like me now."

"Pure idealism is difficult to sustain, and vulgarity often means popularization, and only vulgar things can be popularized among ordinary people," Sai said.

"Yes, it is human nature to pursue economic interests."

"But no matter what, sir, the salary I give them is several times yours!" Looking at the people walking away, Sai turned back to the manager and said.
