Chapter 721: Chapter 715: Black Technology â Down
âMr. Lewis, is this the A380?â Daniel Teddy asked in disbelief.
âIndeed. The comparison you see is indeed with the A380 and no, youâre not seeing things. Both aircraft are displayed at a 1:1 scale. Our aircraft, known as the Kongpao Transport Plane, can accommodate 3,000 passengers! Apart from the first-class cabins, all seats can be reclined completely, like those in the first-class of our current planes. Let Luna Starfield explain more,â Finn Lewis said with a smile.
Why would Finn present such a transport plane if it didnât have advantages? This represents a massive potential market worldwide.
âYes, everyone, this is just one of its features. Its soundproofing technology is almost perfectly noise-canceling, unlike current aircraft where you constantly have to bear with the noise. Weâre not limiting any signal use on board, and we employ special communication channels so you donât have to worry about signal interference. As for safety, itâs lightning-proof. Basically, it can take off and land in any harsh weather condition. Also, it uses vertical take-off and landing,â Luna Starfield quickly explained to the crowd.
Following Lunaâs introduction, the aircraft quickly went through several transformations, both in engine design and other functionalities.
âFinally, it can cruise at an average speed of 1,500 kilometers per hour, surpassing the speed of sound with a maximum flight height of 20,000 meters,â she added.
âThe first-class cabins can be arranged for single or double occupancy depending on your preference. Each cabin includes a bed for maximum comfort.â
âOf course, I believe what interests you all the most is its economic value,â Luna added.
Not to mention that the technology isnât as advanced, the speed isnât as fast, the seats arenât as comfortable, the space isnât as large, and the takeoff and landing conditions arenât as favorable as well. These are no longer competitive. It doesnât take much imagination to realize how much market share this kind of aircraft will grab. For the airline company CEOs present, this is an opportunity too big to miss!
The domestic market will stay as is, but the international market would be free to expand. It wouldnât be as convenient for others to purchase these planes.
âMr. Lewis, whatâs the price?â Daniel Teddy asked right to the point. Finn had already provided most of the data. What Finn previously mentioned was the most important aspect for a plane. As for fuel, since it is powered by a nuclear reactor, there would be an assured supply of the same.
Have you ever heard of nuclear reactors needing to refuel as often as normal engines? Havenât you seen North Federation ships only needing to refuel every 20 years?
Even assuming that the Kongpao doesnât use fuel for as long, a couple of years in between would still be considerably convenient. It seems like the age of petroleum is soon ending.
â1 billion Flame Nation coins,â Finn announced the price.
Upon hearing the price, everyone exchanged glances, not because it was expensive, but because it was shockingly cheap. The price of an A380 is about 2.95 billion federal coins, which roughly translates to 18 billion Flame Nation coins.
However, the Kongpao is priced at only 1 billion Flame Nation coins. This comes as a huge blow to Sky Crane and Wolfhawk, as everyone knows how disastrous this price could prove. Unless they can catch up in a short period, they wouldnât stand a chance. The domestic airline companies are rejoicing that they didnât place too many orders with Sky Crane.
âThatâs too low.â Just as everyone was processing the information, Daniel Teddy suddenly remarked.
