Chapter 1012 Manned Spaceflight and Deep Space Exploration
"Mr. Wu, we see that your company seems to have recruited a lot of technical talents in manned spaceflight. Does this mean that you are already engaged in technical research on manned spaceflight?" One of them wore glasses.
The male doctoral student asked him questions.
"What do you call your classmates?" Wu Hao asked with a smile on his face.
"Wei Dongqing!" The male doctor was stunned for a moment and then replied.
"Wei Dongqing, what a name!" Wu Hao praised with a smile, then nodded and said: "Yes, we have recruited many technical talents in the field of manned spaceflight, and have also begun technical research in manned spaceflight.
.
There is nothing surprising about this, and there is nothing to hide. In fact, when we started the aerospace project, manned spaceflight was also included in the plan. This is the only way for our aerospace development.
Moreover, the development prospects of manned spaceflight are very broad, and it is the basis for a series of deep space exploration projects. Although artificial intelligence and remote control technology are becoming more and more advanced, it is still impossible to replace the role of humans.
For us, if we want to develop subsequent deep space exploration projects, manned spaceflight cannot be bypassed."
"But the country also has mature manned space technology in this area. If you continue to do it, will it be repeated and a waste of resources?" Wei Dongqing said more honestly.
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "Countries also have launch vehicles, why don't we just do it?
What the country has belongs to the country, and what we have belongs to us. There is no conflict between the two. And precisely because it belongs to the country, there are many restrictions, which is very inconvenient for commercial operations. However, commercial manned spacecraft do not have such restrictions.
Worried.
In addition, for our country’s aerospace industry, if there are two types of manned spacecraft, the choice will be wider, so why not do it.”
"Then your spacecraft experiment in August is a manned spacecraft?" Wei Dongqing took the opportunity to ask.
When Wu Hao heard this, he looked at him and said with a smile: "Slippery, you are beating around the bush just to get some information from me."
Ha ha ha ha……
Everyone else present laughed when they heard this. The female doctor who had been talking before said coquettishly to Wu Hao: "Mr. Wu, just tell us. This opportunity is very rare. Please tell us more."
One lecture, let us learn more."
"Yeah, I can't do it if I don't say it." Wu Hao smiled bitterly, and then continued to talk to everyone: "No, manned spaceflight is a very complex project. We have not yet reached the actual test stage. We still need to
a period of time.
As for the spacecraft in July and August, it is actually related to manned spaceflight, but it is a different technology."
"Another technology?" Everyone couldn't help but become curious.
"Yes, another technology, but it has yet to be tested. I don't know if it can be successful." Wu Hao smiled and nodded.
"Can you tell us what kind of technology it is?" the female doctor asked most.
Xiaolan! Chen Zhihong opened his mouth and admonished: "Curiosity has occurred again. This kind of business secret can be inquired casually."
As he was talking, Chen Zhihong looked at Wu Hao and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xiao Wu, this girl is too curious. You think this is a classroom."
"Haha, it's okay." Wu Hao shook his head with a smile and smiled at the female doctor.
This female doctor's name is Zhu Xiaolan, and she is the most doting one among Chen Zhihong's students, so she stays by his side wherever he goes. Of course, she is also the smartest among Chen Zhihong's students, has the best grades, and is the one Chen Zhihong is most optimistic about.
So Wu Hao was very interested in her and hoped to "attract" her to the company, so naturally he wouldn't blame her. Besides, it was just a few problems, so it didn't matter to him.
"It's really hard to answer your question, at least not yet. However, I am here to invite you, and all of you, to come and watch the rocket launch in July and August."
"Really, thank you, Mr. Wu!" Not only Zhu Xiaolan, but everyone else also expressed their thanks.
"Mr. Wu, the launch in August will use a retractable rocket, right?" Wei Dongqing asked him.
That's right, Wu Hao nodded and said: "After this launch, all launch missions this year will be carried out using retractable rockets."
"Oh, what about this ultra-low-cost rocket? Are you not planning to launch it again?" Chen Zhihong asked Wu Hao.
"No, the launch mission will still be carried out. After all, for some special launch missions, the first stage body of the rocket cannot be recovered. Moreover, the carrying capacity of this ultra-low-cost rocket is higher than that of our Jianmu-2, which can be retracted
The carrying capacity of the rocket is much stronger. If you encounter some large-payload spacecraft or multi-payload missions, you will still choose this ultra-low-cost launch vehicle." Wu Hao explained to the crowd.
After hearing what he said, everyone nodded immediately. It is true. From the perspective of cost control, even if the launch cost of this ultra-low-cost launch vehicle is low, it cannot compare with this retractable rocket.
.So considering this aspect, retractable rockets are the main direction of future development.
"Mr. Wu, please talk about deep space exploration again. We are all very interested in this aspect. Now the United States is planning to establish a permanent scientific research base on the moon, and our country has a similar plan.
What about you, do you also have such a plan?" Zhu Xiaolan asked Wu Hao.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Yes, we are also always paying attention to the current real-time information in the country's aerospace field.
We are also very interested in this kind of scientific research base that can stay on the moon for a long time.
However, we must be a commercial company, and the first thing we must consider is the feasibility of this project and whether it has commercial value.
After all, we also need to eat."
After hearing what he said, everyone nodded to express their understanding. Indeed, this is the biggest difference between private aerospace, commercial aerospace, and officially led aerospace projects.
After looking around at everyone, Wu Hao said with a smile: "But don't worry, the commercial value of this project is still very high.
The first is the value of scientific research. In this regard, we can cooperate with many scientific research institutions, including technology companies and science funds, and let them invest or fund projects in this area.
For example, we can build such a scientific research base and allow relevant scientists to conduct work experiments there for a fee.
Of course, we can also accept relevant tourists to go there for entertainment, stay and experience, etc.
At the same time, the moon itself also has many rich resources, such as the well-known helium 3, which has very considerable value.
If we establish a scientific research base, we can definitely establish such a mining area."
