The core design is, admittedly, something of an engineering fantasy.
诚然,从某种程度上,其核心设计可以说是一种工程学上的幻想。
But as lead designer Guillermo Callau explains to me, the team has actually put a lot of thought into the feasibility of the route, which passes from Africa to Europe to Asia, to the cars, which feature everything from typical seats to a large shared indoor garden. The idea isn’t to present a completely realized design, but to think bigger about how to reduce our reliance on flying.
但是,正如首席设计师吉列尔莫·卡洛向我解释的那样,该团队实际上已经在这条路线的可行性上花了很多心思。这条路线从非洲延伸至欧洲、亚洲,再到中美洲研究站,而且列车上从普通座位到大型共享室内花园都应有尽有。该构思并不是要展示一个完全可以实现的设计,而是要从更高的角度思考如何减少我们对飞行的依赖。
“You would take something a little slower than a flight, but it would be immensely more efficient,” says Callau. “This isn’t just being optimistic. It’s necessary. CO2 tariffs, or taxes on CO2, will make flights way more inaccessible.”
卡洛表示:“你可以乘坐比飞机稍慢一点的交通工具,而这样会大大提高效率。这不仅仅是一种乐观主义,而且是必要的。二氧化碳关税或二氧化碳税将使飞行成为更不可取的方式。”
