After saying this, Wu Hao immediately changed his tone and said with a helpless expression: "But everyone also knows that the main purpose of the Tiangong is scientific research. Whether it can be opened to the public and allow civilian scientists and tourists to enter is a question.
In addition, the existing capacity of Tiangong is too small. If we want to accommodate more members, we must expand the area. We have thought that if we can cooperate, we can launch several modules up to expand the capacity, but can Tiangong support it?
, In addition, whether the leaders above approve it is also a question."
After listening to Wu Hao's words, everyone present nodded and understood Wu Hao's concerns. Indeed, these problems are very difficult and it is not easy to solve them.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Zhou Chengfang laughed and laughed, then comforted Wu Hao: "Actually, you don't have to be too pessimistic. I think this kind of strong cooperation has great prospects. The leaders above should
Will agree.
First of all, in Tiangong's development plan, there are plans related to opening up to the outside world, and it will also attract civilian scientific talents and develop space tourism as future development plans, so I think these are not difficult.
As for expanding the space station and adding cabin sections, there is no big problem. At the beginning of the design of Tiangong, the need for subsequent expansion was taken into consideration, so adding cabin sections should be no problem.
Of course, these are all my personal opinions, and the specifics still need to be communicated and discussed with the competent authorities."
Speaking of this, Zhou Chengfang looked at Wu Hao and smiled, and then continued: "Don't worry, I will help you ask about this when I get back. I will tell you in time if there is any news."
Hearing Zhou Chengfang's words, Wu Hao smiled. In fact, Wu Hao's little thoughts could not be hidden from old guys like Zhou Chengfang. After a little thought, they understood the meaning of Wu Hao's words.
That's why he agreed. Although he only promised to ask questions for him, it was enough. If he promised more, it would be untrustworthy.
After all, such a big matter cannot be decided unilaterally by people like Zhou Chengfang.
"Then I'd like to thank you, Director Zhou, for taking the trouble."
Haha, is it our responsibility and obligation to help private aerospace companies grow and develop? It should be. Zhou Chengfang responded with a smile, and then changed the subject to Wu Hao: "Let's talk about your lunar scientific research station, I am
Gao Jinguang, the host on the side, greeted everyone at this time: "Well, let's not stand here anymore. Let's go and find a place to have a good chat."
Go, go!
Under the guidance of Gao Jinguang, everyone came to a lounge and sat down. Immediately, the staff served tea. Not to mention, after talking so much, everyone was still a little thirsty, at least Wu Hao was like this.
.
Mr. Wu, I heard that your lunar scientific research station also plans to open it to the public? Soon an expert couldn't help but asked.
Wu Hao, who had just drank some water to moisten his throat, felt helpless when he heard this question, but on the surface he still kept a smile and nodded in response.
"You are right. After the lunar scientific research station is completed and put into use, we plan to open some places to the outside world and attract some scientific researchers to carry out scientific research projects in the lunar microgravity environment.
In addition, just like the space station, we will also open some quotas to tourists. If tourists are willing, they can also come to the scientific research station to stay for a while and take a romantic trip to the moon."
This was similar to the mission function of the space station, so everyone was not too surprised when they heard this, and everyone nodded.
How big is the area of this lunar scientific research station and how many people can it accommodate? Zhou Chengfang, who was sitting beside Wu Hao, asked Wu Hao curiously.
Hearing this question, Wu Hao smiled and replied: "The entire lunar scientific research station project is divided into three phases. The first phase covers an area of about 200 square meters and is divided into experimental cabins, comprehensive living cabins, residential cabins, and plant ecology.
warehouses, etc., which can accommodate eight to ten members in total.
The second phase plan will expand based on the first phase area, so that the overall area will reach about 500 square meters, and the number of members in the station will also increase from eight to ten to about twenty to thirty members. This will also become the first phase.
The main form of the scientific research station will not be expanded in the short term.
As for the future three-phase plan, we will make further arrangements on this basis, so that the overall area of the entire scientific research station will reach more than 2,000 square meters, and the number of people in the station will also increase to more than 100 people, truly becoming our human beings.
A settlement on the moon.
And this will also be an experiment and preparation for the future lunar city."
Hearing Wu Hao talking about such a huge project, everyone present could not help but open their mouths with expressions of amazement.
How much investment is required for such a large project? Some experts couldn't help but sigh, and the sighs were also full of doubts and worries. Can such a large project really be realized? Such a large project can only be achieved by Haoyu Technology, a private company.
Can companies really afford it?
The expert's words immediately resonated with others, who were obviously full of doubts about such a huge project.
The reaction of these people was actually within Wu Hao's expectation. Since such a scene happened not once or twice, he had long been used to it.
Sighing slightly in anger, Wu Hao smiled at everyone and said: "Actually, the investment in this project is not as huge as everyone imagined.
The investment in the early stage and the first phase of this project is indeed relatively large, mainly because the early preparation stage and the first stage of construction are the most expensive.
All equipment and materials, including energy, materials, etc., need to be transported from the earth. The cost of transportation between the earth and the moon alone is a large expense, not to mention the development costs of other equipment and facilities.
However, with the completion of the first phase of construction, when we build the second phase of facilities, we will change our strategy and use the resources on the moon for construction. In this way, we can greatly save the cost of transportation between the earth and the moon.
, and construction costs.”
Using resources on the moon for construction?
Looking at everyone's puzzled looks, Wu Hao smiled and nodded and replied: "Yes, we use mechanical equipment, 3D printing and other technologies to collect local materials on the moon, and use the resources on the moon to produce construction materials to build.
Related facilities can greatly save construction costs."
