Chapter 1,743 The peculiar 'Jianmu-2 Special' rocket
【Corrected version】
After hearing this suggestion, everyone was happy at first, but then they looked at Qin Xinghe, whose face was a little dark.
Regarding such ideas or suggestions, Qin Xinghe naturally had a wry smile on his face. Facing the crowd, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The country has a unified plan for deep space exploration projects. Once the plan is confirmed, it will be very
Difficult to change.
What’s more, for such an important project, it would be inappropriate to rely on private enterprises. Private enterprises can only be supplementary, not the main body.”
Speaking of this, Qin Xinghe glanced at Wu Hao, and then continued: "In addition, the deep space exploration plans within the aerospace system are all medium and long-term plans, and will be after 30. In the short term, our
The focus is still on the moon and Mars, especially since we are in the critical stage of implementing manned moon landings, and it is not appropriate to create extraneous matters at this time."
After Qin Xinghe finished speaking, everyone who listened recognized it. Although it was a pity for such a good project, they could still distinguish the importance of it. Now it seems that it is definitely impossible to rely on the official government for this project.
, you can only think of a way yourself.
Wu Hao was also a little helpless about this, but this was also expected. He would not feel discouraged. This was just an attempt in itself.
Seeing the disappointment and pity on the faces of everyone present, Qin Xinghe could only comfort him: "However, don't give up completely, there is still hope.
Although the government can't do it, if the private sector does it on their own, we would be very happy to see it and actively support it. We were even able to apply for some support funds for this project, and the amount is still very considerable."
Hearing what Qin Xinghe said, the flames that were about to be extinguished just now started to burn again.
Immediately, an expert suggested: "It is a pity that such a good project should be abandoned like this. I think we can join forces to do it together. Just like the situation with the previous Jupiter probe, it was not done by others themselves. They
There is not that much funding, and it is achieved with support from superiors, social donations, and myself. A project like this will definitely attract help from the society."
"I think it's okay." Some experts immediately supported it, and more experts immediately joined in the support.
Finally, as a respected senior among the crowd, Mr. Zou Huanyi made the final decision: "The idea is very good, but I think we still need to think about it carefully before discussing it. Let's think about it after we go back, and let's work together to improve this project.
Then when we have time, we can get together and discuss what to do next.
Such a large project cannot be completed in a day or two, so don’t be anxious, let’s visit first.”
With that said, Zou Huanyi looked at Wu Hao. Wu Hao then nodded and led the crowd: "Everyone, please come here. What is displayed here is our entire Jianmu series launch vehicle family.
From the Jianmu-1 ultra-low-cost light launch vehicle on the edge, to Jianmu-2, Jianmu-2 modified, Jianmu-2 special. There are also Jianmu-5 bundles, as well as the Jianmu-5 rocket that we just completed its first flight.
Jianmu-7. And the larger one in the middle is our Jianmu-9 heavy-lift launch vehicle."
After listening to Wu Hao's introduction, everyone looked at it curiously and nodded involuntarily. After just a few years of development, Haoyu Technology can be said to have suddenly emerged in the field of launch vehicle technology, and has now become the largest in the country.
of private launch vehicle companies, accounting for almost 95% of domestic civilian commercial orders.
Even internationally, Haoyu Aerospace is at the forefront among commercial aerospace companies.
"I know that this Jianmu-2 rocket is your first retractable launch vehicle. On this rocket, you have achieved the recovery and reuse of the first-stage rocket and fairing. It is said that you have now
It has set a domestic record, and a first-stage rocket has been reused nine times." Zou Huanyi said to Wu Hao.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "Yes, we just completed our ninth flight in August and successfully landed and recovered.
Currently, through testing by our technical team, this first-stage rocket is in good condition and should be able to perform several launch missions.
However, we plan to fly it one more time and then retire it."
"After retiring, why? Can't I still fly several times?" A leader asked immediately.
Wu Hao answered with a smile: "We think ten times is a milestone, so we want to commemorate it. This first-stage rocket has completed its mission very well, exceeding my expectations. So we want it to complete it ten times.
After the flight, it was decommissioned and then brought back to stand in the park as a commemoration."
After Wu Hao explained this, everyone understood. Indeed, ten times of reuse is indeed worth remembering. Moreover, ten flights have already reduced the launch cost too much. It is enough, and there is no need to work hard on it.
.
In fact, there is one thing Wu Hao did not say, that is because ten flights are enough. If it flies further, the success rate cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, in order to ensure the success rate and maintain the good reputation of the Jianmu series rockets, we plan to let this
One first-stage rocket has been retired.
There may be a breakthrough increase in the number of reuses in the future, but not now.
"Why does this Jianmu-2 rocket have such a strange shape? It's so special for Jianmu-2?" An expert looked at the erected rocket model and asked Wu Hao.
This is our deeply improved Jianmu-2 rocket. Its biggest difference compared with other rockets is that its second-stage rocket can also be landed and recovered, thus achieving reuse." Wu Hao explained with a smile.
Oh, after hearing what he said, everyone became interested. Second-stage rocket recovery technology is also one of the technologies that major aerospace companies are actively studying. However, currently, there is no mature technology that is truly commercially available.
Qin Xinghe on the side asked Wu Hao: "Xiao Wu, I remember that you seemed to have engaged in the landing and recovery of the second-stage rocket. Why is there no movement now?"
Haha, Wu Hao replied with a smile: "The previous return landing experiment was done well. Currently, our technical team is absorbing the experience and actively carrying out related research work.
For us, technology is one thing, cost is another.
We can't just focus on technology, we have to combine it with market benefits. In other words, we have to consider its market benefits. If the benefits are too small, we won't do it."
