In fact, without reading the news, Wu Hao knew what kind of content these overseas news reports were full of, how to eliminate them, etc. Of course, there were good reviews, but there were only a few, so rare that they were overwhelmed by the entire environment.
Relatively speaking, domestic media are much more active in this regard. However, Wu Hao doesn't like it too much. It's just too embarrassing to brag about, and Wu Hao feels embarrassed when he brags about it. There are only a few of them, and the coverage is pretty good.
Objectively speaking, everything else is like getting a draft, all kinds of embarrassing boasts and the like.
Therefore, compared to these media, Wu Hao may prefer the comments of some netizens, including some relevant bloggers, and their relevant evaluation descriptions are much more objective.
Lin Wei nodded after hearing what he said, then looked at Wu Hao and said, "I heard that you are giving up the space station plan and moving forward the lunar scientific research station project. Isn't this too risky?"
After hearing Lin Wei's words, Wu Hao glanced at Zhou Xiangming who was sitting behind him and was communicating quietly with several experts. Then he nodded to Lin Wei and said, "There is such a thing. In fact, this idea has been around for a long time.
There are debates in this regard within the entire company. After initial research and discussion, and after soliciting opinions from all parties, we decided to develop the commercial space station project.
Times have changed now. All major aerospace companies have announced the launch of their own commercial space station projects, and some countries with space ambitions also have similar plans. In the future, the orbit above our earth will only become more and more crowded, and competition will become more intense.
It's getting more intense.
You know me, I am not afraid of competition. I grew up little by little in competition with other Internet technology giants from a young age."
After hearing Wu Hao's words, Lin Wei nodded. She had heard too much about Wu Hao's struggle and rise. Of course, there were many reports from the outside world. Anyway, they were all kinds of things. As a media
As the head of the company and Wu Hao's girlfriend, she naturally comes into contact with these things frequently.
Even if she doesn't want to contact her, someone will tell her the news or ask to verify the authenticity of the relevant information, so it's difficult for him to understand.
On the other hand, as Wu Hao's girlfriend and the closest person, she also heard a lot of real stories of past struggles from Wu Hao's mouth, including from Wu Hao's friends, and how they grew up little by little.
Seeing Lin Wei nodding, Wu Hao continued: "But the aerospace technology industry does not just rely on market competition. This is a special industry that relies more on policies and geopolitical factors. Therefore, we compete with those overseas.
If aerospace companies, including some countries, compete, they actually have no advantage and may even be at a big disadvantage.
This is the first, and secondly, in the past, even if we lost the overseas international market, the huge domestic market could still support our development. It can be said that with the domestic market, we will always have the confidence to challenge the outside world.
But the aerospace technology industry is quite special. Our domestic competitors are not other companies, but the entire aerospace system. Faced with it, do we still have advantages in this regard?
In addition, our Chinese people have relatively traditional ideas, how many people do you think are willing to take the risk of space tourism?"
"But the risk of lunar exploration is greater, so how many people are willing to do it? And you have already conducted some research and investment on the space station project. If you give up now, wouldn't it mean that all the previous investment has been in vain?" Lin Wei proposed two individuals.
Very targeted questions. As Wu Hao's girlfriend and someone closely related to Wu Hao, she and Wu Hao have the same position, so many times she will ask a lot of very targeted questions. This is no longer a problem.
It’s embarrassing, but it’s about avoiding some risks for Wu Hao’s analysis.
After hearing these two questions, Wu Hao smiled and nodded and replied: "You are right, the lunar exploration project has greater risks, but the development prospects are also greater, right?
It has been almost seventy years since mankind successfully entered space, and it has been thirty or forty years since the first space station was established. It can be said that our current understanding of the low-Earth orbit space environment has been fully utilized. Even if there is further development in the future,
It is also impossible to develop much.
Therefore, if we join them, even if we win in these fierce competitions, we may not be able to gain much benefit.
As for the initial investment in the space station project, you don’t have to worry too much about this. These investments and results will not be in vain.
First of all, these technologies will also be applied to some of our subsequent manned space projects. Secondly, these technological achievements can also be applied to the lunar scientific research station project. In fact, most of the two are similar.
A spacecraft for people to live and work. It’s just that one is in orbit and the other is on the moon.
Finally, we are not saying that we will completely give up the commercial space station project, but we will change the approach."
Another way? Lin Wei couldn't help but asked with some doubts.
Yes, Wu Hao nodded and said: "We will seek to cooperate with the aerospace system and participate in the construction and operation of the Tiangong Space Station. For example, we will cooperate with it to undertake the transportation of materials and personnel to the space station.
After this work matures, we can also use it to transport more tourists up in the future and carry out related space tourism projects, including some space commercial scientific research projects.
Secondly, we can also cooperate to build some new modules to connect with the space station and expand the capacity of the space station. In this way, we can have more available space to carry more visitors and conduct some commercial space scientific research tasks.
Already."
But will the aerospace department agree? Lin Wei couldn't help but worry. After all, this is just Wu Hao's simple idea. Will the aerospace department agree to such a request?
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "They will not refuse, after all, this is a win-win cooperation. First of all, as far as the existing Tiangong Space Station is concerned, its construction has been completed and all work has been on track.
Although the scientific research work related to the space station has achieved very fruitful results in recent years, at the same time, the operating cost of the space station is a very big burden for the aerospace department, which has limited annual funds and wants to do many things.
pressure.
Therefore, they also wanted to find a partner to share the costs in this area, but for a long time, there was no such partner, let alone commercial cooperation.
So if we propose cooperation, they will definitely be happy to agree. Because this is exactly what they want, and it can even be regarded as a sleepy pillow, which is so timely."
