After every discussion about the experiment was over, someone would bring up the issue of flying cars.
Gedler York, the head of the Country D team, was a man with ideas. After the experimental meeting concluded, he stopped Zhao Yi and asked, "I saw the news that your company has manufactured flying cars. I believe you must have certain difficulties in selling them."
"Of course." Zhao Yi didn’t know what Gedler York was getting at, so he just smiled and looked at him.
Gedler York said with a smile, "But it’s different in Country D. I think you should consider selling flying cars to the O Continent, or perhaps sell them separately to foreign entities. That way, you can avoid a lot of legal regulations."
Zhao Yi thought for a moment and then replied, "That is indeed a solution, but the cost would certainly be very high if it’s not mass-produced."
"That’s not a problem, people would buy it no matter how expensive it is. I believe many would be interested, just like me," Gedler York said, emphatically pointing at himself.
Zhao Yi pondered and nodded in agreement.
What Gedler York meant was that Yixing Company could sell the manufactured cars to private individuals through external sales. As long as the sales were not domestic and the cars did not fly within the country, there wouldn’t be any restriction issues.
This wouldn’t count as an export or a formal sale, it would simply be a singular transaction; it’s like someone paying a sum of money to buy a test model from a company. This could avoid many regulatory issues.
After the private purchase, the cars could be transported to the buyers’ own countries.
Many countries do not have such stringent restrictions on cars and aircraft. Once the cars are in these countries, they can fly freely without any applicable legal restrictions, and law enforcement agencies would not have the right to intervene.
Of course.
Once many flying cars appear in certain countries, regulatory agencies would certainly discuss the management issues, which is like posing a difficult question to them.
Flying cars, unlike typical drones, carry people, and flying in the sky is not subject to conventional traffic management. It’s like skirting the edge of the law.
The interesting thing is that those who buy flying cars are definitely wealthy or influential people, and drafting laws targeting the lifestyles of such individuals is very difficult in many countries.
Therefore, legislation of this kind might take a long time to be enacted, while flying cars can fly freely in the meantime without worrying about problems arising.
This was Gedler York’s point.
Although Gedler York’s idea was indeed good, and he would really not be subject to any constraints after purchasing a flying car, Zhao Yi would not consider selling flying cars abroad just to make a small amount of revenue, as the increase was insignificant to him.
Even if selling one car could create a profit of ten million yuan, selling a thousand cars would only account for ten billion yuan.
What does a profit of ten billion yuan mean to someone who is aiming to become the world’s richest man, whose wealth is still increasing rapidly?
Plus, these profits would not go into Zhao Yi’s own pocket; he could only get a portion of the patent fees. The majority of the profit would go to the Yixing Company, and his share was a very small part. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Therefore, it simply wasn’t worth it.
Zhao Yi continued to focus on the preparation for the experiments. The first test experiment was about to begin, and every team became very busy, immersing the entire experimental base in a tense atmosphere.
The first test experiment was actually delayed compared to the original plan, postponed by a week. The delay was mainly to wait for the latest spatial connection devices.
The nano-optical tube technology of New Hui Photoelectric Technology had a significant impact, most directly affecting the Space Link Technology, enabling the creation of more refined spatial connection devices which, in turn, could provide more accurate data for the experiments.
The new technology allowed the spatial connection device’s endpoint to have a greatly reduced mapping range.
Previously, only the range of the output end could be controlled, and the minimum mapping range of the endpoint was over eight cubic meters. Now it could be controlled to less than three cubic meters.
The first test experiment was the same in essence as the previous ones.
The differences mainly reflected in two aspects.
One was the upgrade of the spatial connection devices, which allowed the transmission range at the endpoint to be reduced to less than three cubic meters.
The second difference was in the substance transmitted at the endpoint.
’Water’ was the substance for this test experiment—water with as few impurities as possible, filling the entire space at the endpoint, meaning the majority of what was transmitted could only be water, with extremely rare other impurities.
In the enclosed transmission end, various detection instruments operated inside the interior space, including many tiny detectors. Many of these instruments were newly designed specifically for particle detection.
In fact, during the preparation process for the experiment, there were two proposals for the substance to be transmitted at the endpoint. One was to use only a single metal.
Ultimately, this proposal was postponed. Compared to a single metal, water had relatively fewer impurities and higher controllability.
If metal was transmitted, there could be a massive explosion.
Very soon.
The test experiment began. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Just like the previous experiments, the core scientists stayed in the control room a kilometer away. Zhao Yi and Zhang Qican stood together, and beside them were Gedler York of Country D’s team and Ben Brad Chermicky of the HL team.
