Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 709 - 708: Opportunity

A civilization that wants to officially step into space must possess launch capabilities, otherwise, it cannot be deemed a space civilization.

Jiang Cheng's goal is to develop humanity into a space civilization, which is why he has invested so many resources.

Now, what Jiang Cheng needs to do is to advance step by step; eventually, humanity will become an official space civilization.

At present, Jiang Cheng needs to focus on the immediate task: successfully sending the first batch of tourists into space.

Once the first batch of tourists begins signing up, the space travel program is formally launched.

The first batch of tourists are basically wealthy individuals, so they signed up without any hesitation.

For them, forty thousand US Dollars is insignificant; the allure of the mysterious space is far more enticing.

These wealthy people are incredibly curious by nature and have always yearned for the skies.

That's why they signed up immediately, without considering the safety concerns.

They are even willing to be the first batch of tourists just to get into space as soon as possible.

It's well known that the first batch of anything is not very reliable, and this often means they are like guinea pigs.

Space travel is a completely new venture, and new things always seem unreliable to people.

In the views of many, the early batches of tourists are probably guinea pigs; people only trust things after they have been proven.

To embrace certain risks as the first batch of tourists, these wealthy folks truly have a lot of courage.

Only those who really yearn for space can make such a decision.

However, they are also lucky in a way; Jiang Cheng's technology is absolutely reliable, ensuring no accidents will occur.

These people are not guinea pigs but rather the first batch of tourists to visit space.

As the first commercial space tourists, they can be proud of this identity.

It's possible that these people will brag about this for a lifetime; this kind of experience is certainly memorable.

Very soon, the first batch of tourists officially signed contracts, paid all the fees, and began the subsequent process.

Going to space isn't just about having money; first, they have to go through medical examinations. Those who don't meet the standards are unqualified for space, which is a necessary prerequisite.

Thankfully, these people are quite lucky; everyone's medical examination results met the standards.

Next, they were taken to a training center for half a month of specialized training.

After their training was completed, they could prepare to venture into space.

The preliminary preparations concluded quickly, and the first batch of tourists is now ready to embark on their journey.

Today is the scheduled departure date; they are already in the space capsule, preparing to take the rocket beyond Earth.

The environment inside the space capsule satisfied these wealthy individuals, even though it couldn't compare to luxurious hotels, it was much better than they had anticipated.

In their minds, a space capsule must be very cramped, where moving around would likely be challenging.

They had prepared themselves to endure hardships, believing it was all worth it to reach space.

But upon seeing the specially-designed space capsule, they found the conditions quite acceptable; at least, there was ample room for movement.

Furthermore, the facilities inside the space capsule were quite good, catering to their basic survival needs.

The conditions in space surely can't compare to those on Earth, but having such conditions already left them quite content.

The moment of rocket launch was approaching, and now these wealthy folks had their hearts racing, anticipating the exhilarating journey ahead.

Experiencing the feeling of riding a rocket is truly one of the most thrilling ways to travel.

Several wealthy individuals displayed nervous expressions, as they had no experience with what was about to happen.

When the rocket officially launched, they felt a tremendous thrust, swiftly carrying them skyward.

The Kun‖ Rocket was incredibly fast, yet its flight remained equally stable.

The anticipated vibrations did not occur; the rocket soared steadily into the sky.

Once the rocket entered Earth's orbit, these wealthy individuals found themselves in space.

After the space capsule halted, the passengers could move freely inside.

During the rocket's ascent, for safety reasons, they were all secured in their positions.

Now that the rocket had completed its launch phase, they could enjoy their space journey.

Many wealthy individuals, with excited hearts, rushed to a specially-designed window to thoroughly enjoy the majestic space scenery.

This special glass window was made for viewing purposes, designed to be very large in size. Through the glass, they could see the whole of Earth and the distant vistas of the cosmos.

Seeing Earth from above is truly breathtaking, and every tourist uttered sounds of amazement, dumbfounded by the scenes before them.

They had imagined the beauty of space before, even crafting countless mental images in their minds.

But when they were really in space, they found their imagination to be so limited.

The beauty of space far exceeded their expectations, surpassing even their wildest dreams countless times over.

Viewing Earth from space offers an entirely different perspective.

Such an experience gave them an extraordinary feeling as they gazed upon the tumultuous clouds over Earth, an overwhelmingly magnificent sight.

Apart from Earth, the place they've always dwelled in, other vistas were also worth viewing.

The distant and serene cosmos unfolded a mysterious canvas.

Amidst that enigmatic star river, who knows how many secrets are hidden.

This feeling was so mesmerizing that these wealthy folks couldn't bear to leave.

These billionaires, now resembled curious children, staring unblinkingly at the scenery as if they'd seen something extraordinary.

Indeed, the scenery they beheld was remarkable, unseen by most people.

Apart from actual astronauts, they were the first to witness such scenes.

They definitely wanted to take in enough of these rare sights, or else it would be a real waste.

Coming to space once and not fully appreciating the cosmic wonders would squander this rare opportunity.

Though they didn't care about the forty thousand US Dollars, they had little chance of going to space again. At least in the near future, they wouldn't have this opportunity.
