On Wednesday, countless people from all walks of life gathered at the entrance of the Dongwang Aerospace Science and Technology Comprehensive Exhibition Hall in Jiangyang City.
There was no stage or tent. Zhang Zhong and Ludinger stood at the entrance of the exhibition hall, each holding one end of a red cloth strip and each holding a pair of scissors.
The ribbon-cutting of the exhibition hall was very simple, without any tricks. The host sent by Nanhuai TV took a microphone and made a speech at the entrance of the exhibition hall, basically praising how good the exhibition hall was and how rich the exhibits inside were.
After the host finished speaking, Zhang Zhong nodded to Ludinger, and then the two of them cut the red cloth strips, and the ribbon-cutting was completed.
After the ribbon-cutting was completed, the exhibition hall officially opened its doors and began to welcome guests.
The ticket office also put up a "Opening" sign and officially started selling tickets.
However, many people buy their tickets online and just go to the ticket machine to pick up their tickets.
The ticket price for the exhibition hall is not expensive, 128 for adults, 58 for children, one ticket, and there are no other paid items.
Zhang Junwei and Luo Wei came over early in the morning to queue up. They bought tickets online. Today is the first day of the opening of the museum. They enjoy a 20% discount on tickets. If you buy tickets online, you can also enjoy a 15% discount.
discount.
They came early and were at the front of the queue. After watching the ribbon-cutting, the security personnel opened the isolation tape and the two of them rushed to the ticket machine. Then they took out the tickets as quickly as possible and rushed into the exhibition hall.
As soon as they entered the exhibition hall, they were attracted by a transport plane in the exhibition hall.
"President, this is the Y-5 transport plane."
"Don't say bad words." Zhang Junwei glanced at Luo Wei and said.
"What did I say...Hey, President, your mind is too dirty. This is Y-5, right?"
"It seems so." Zhang Junwei nodded, "It seems to be a real machine."
A beautiful commentator came over and said with a smile, "You two gentlemen are very discerning. This is the Y-5 transport aircraft, which is also China's first self-made transport aircraft. The prototype is the An-2 designed by the Soviet Union in the 1940s.
Transport aircraft..."
"Is this a real machine?" Zhang Junwei asked, unable to tell from the appearance whether it was a real machine or a one-to-one simulation model.
The commentator nodded and said, "This is a transport aircraft that has been in service."
"Is it still airworthy?"
"It only has a shell." The commentator laughed. Seeing Zhang Junwei's and others' disappointed eyes, she pointed to the top of the head and said, "But the Bell 47 above us is still airworthy."
"Bell 47?"
Zhang Junwei and Luo Wei looked up and saw a glass box diagonally above their heads, with a strange-shaped helicopter inside.
When a normal person sees this plane, their first reaction would be that it is a toy plane.
It is small in size, has a hollow tail wing, and the cab is like a sunroom, covered by a spherical transparent plastic.
The cab is also very simple, the main part is a seat with attached seats.
If you remove the wings and brackets, this is more like a Ferris wheel tour cabin.
But it is indeed a real helicopter, and it is also the first civilian helicopter model in the world to obtain an airworthiness certificate. It can be regarded as the ancestor of civilian helicopters.
Zhang Junwei looked at the Bell 47, which looked like a toy, and sighed, "There's something about it."
There are now a total of eight types and a total of fifteen real aircraft in the Zhiwang Exhibition Hall, one-third of which are still airworthy. Although this is not worth mentioning for the National Aeronautics and Astronautics Museum, but for a private museum
, is already very powerful.
And if we hadn't been short on time, there would have been more real machines in the exhibition hall.
Of course, the Zhiwang Exhibition Hall is a comprehensive science and technology exhibition hall, not an aircraft exhibition hall.
In addition to various real aircraft and aircraft models, there are also various spacecraft models and various spacecraft simulators.
Not only can you watch it, you can also play it.
There is an education area in the exhibition hall. There is a free science and technology knowledge popularization class every afternoon. Children and adults can participate for free as long as they buy a ticket.
In addition to the exhibition area, there is also a commercial area.
The science fiction exhibition area is placed in the commercial area, because if you like something here, you can buy it directly.
Nowadays, most of the science fiction exhibition areas are filled with literary works, mainly Zhang Zhong’s science fiction works.
There are also some scattered peripheral products, which are all from the movie "The Last Starfish Man".
Because this is the only science fiction movie, and although "The Last Starfish" has a high box office, it has not developed popular peripherals, so these peripheral products do not attract tourists very much.
The most attractive thing for tourists in the business district is the books area.
The price of books here is no different from books outside, and the reason why everyone is interested here is because every visitor who enters the venue can get a chance to win a lottery by scanning the code on the ticket stub.
There are many types of prizes, including movie peripherals and signed books.
Zhang Junwei and Luo Wei also ran to draw prizes. Zhang Junwei didn't draw anything. Luo Wei was lucky and got a book, but it was an ordinary book with no signature on it.
Luo Wei thrust the book into Zhang Junwei's hand, "I already have this book. It's useless to ask for it. Why don't you, President, take it to the Green Field Bookstore and show it to everyone."
Zhang Junwei smiled and said, "You are quite dedicated."
"That's not true..." Luo Wei was about to pat his chest and brag when he heard an exclamation coming from the lottery place.
He and Zhang Junwei turned to look at the same time, "What's wrong? Someone won the grand prize?"
Before the two of them ran over to take a look, the staff led the lucky guy towards the prize receiving area.
The staff opened a cabinet, took out a book from it, and handed the book to the lucky person with an envious expression, "This is your prize, a signed book by Zhang Zhong. The winning rate of this prize is said to be only ten.
One in ten thousand, you are so lucky."
Luo Wei shrugged his shoulders, "Is it such an exaggeration? Although the boss's autographed book is in demand, it's not that difficult to get, and isn't it just this year that we have a series of autograph sessions? One in 100,000, tsk tsk."
Perhaps after hearing what Luo Wei said, the staff member said: "This is not an ordinary signed book. The signatures inside are all small sentences rewritten by Zhang. And it is said that these sentences contain hidden mysteries."
"Real or fake? What's the secret behind it?"
The staff member laughed and said, "Since it is a mystery, how can I, an ordinary person, break it?"
Luo Wei and Zhang Junwei leaned over and stared at the book in the lucky man's hand, "Brother, open it for everyone to open your eyes."
Everyone was a fan of Zhang Zhong, and the lucky guy was not stingy. He opened the title page generously, revealing the powerful pen characters on it.
"In the unmarked silent void at the end of the western spiral arm of the Milky Way, there hangs a small, unnoticed yellow sun. In an orbit about 147.1 million kilometers away from it, there is a completely insignificant blue sun.
Green asteroid. The ape-evolved life forms on this planet are so astonishingly primitive that they actually think gravitational wave communicators are an amazing idea.”
