"We are still working hard to achieve this goal." Wu Hao replied with a smile.
Li Weiguo looked at the rocket for a while, and then asked: "When can it be actually launched?"
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head and said: "This depends on the overall research and development progress. We plan to launch another experimental rocket at the end of this year to verify the reliability of the relevant technology.
We will also cooperate with aerospace research institutions and meteorological departments on this rocket to launch high-altitude detectors for them.
There will be another test next spring, and if all goes well, our first commercial rocket will be able to carry a payload or commercial customer satellite for launch by the end of next summer."
"So fast, your research and development cycle is too short." Li Weiguo was shocked. After all, it is to develop a launch vehicle, not a firecracker, which requires a longer cycle. Unexpectedly, Wu Hao and the others actually shortened the cycle
Is it possible to compress it so short?
Wu Hao explained with a smile: "As for the launch vehicle, there is actually not much technical difficulty. There are only two issues to consider, one is safety and reliability, and the other is cost. As long as these two major problems are solved, it can be said that
It has already been a success.”
"You guys really dare to say that if there were no technical difficulties, not all countries could build it, so why are there only a few countries that can do it now?" Song Chunming smiled and cursed at him.
"Haha, the problem of ability is, to put it bluntly, there is no money." Wu Hao said with a smile.
Hahahaha... everyone present laughed when they heard this.
Wu Hao also smiled and continued: "Of course, this is just the first step in our development in the aerospace field, solving problems from scratch. In the future, we will invest more funds to develop some lower
The cost of commercial launch vehicles includes some commercial spacecraft and commercial aerospace equipment, etc.
For example, the return-type reusable rocket technology that we are developing with parachute landing and rocket reverse thrust can continue to significantly reduce the cost of transportation.
Secondly, we will develop some commercial aircraft, such as low-Earth orbit vehicles, unmanned cargo spacecraft, manned spacecraft, etc.
Then there are some orbiters, commercial deep space probes, etc. We also plan to establish a resource detection and research base on the moon in the future to prepare for the commercial development of lunar resources."
Hearing his words, the people at the scene couldn't help but whisper to each other. Song Chunming even took a breath and said: "Your plan is quite ambitious. I'm afraid it will involve a huge investment."
Li Weiguo looked at him with a worried look on his face and said: "Xiao Wu, you must be cautious and consider everything before doing it. Such a huge commercial space program will probably be difficult to complete with your family. Even if it is completed, the benefits will be
Well, have you considered this issue?"
"Of course, the funds consumed by this plan will be very huge, and we cannot afford it alone. So in the future, we will cooperate with social capital and jointly promote this project with the relaxation of commercial cooperation." Wu Hao.
Explained with a smile.
"Oh, in that case, I'll be relieved. With the entry of social capital, I believe this huge project will be successful." Li Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Wu Hao would be dazzled by the victory and then do something like this.
Do something impulsive.
However, judging from Wu Hao's explanation, they should have a relatively rigorous development plan, so there is no need to worry too much.
"Everyone, please come this way." Wu Hao guided everyone to the next booth. This is also their most important booth this time, and it can also be said to be the main product. I saw a variety of multi-axis machines placed on the platform.
There are two-axis drones, four-axis drones, and six-axis and eight-axis drones. They are a very large family.
"These are the drone products you launched this time." Li Weiguo looked at these drones and said with interest. As the head of the Air Force Equipment Research Institute, he had been exposed to a lot of drone equipment before, including
This includes the 'Crazy Bee' swarm array UAV strike system related to Wu Hao, and the 'Battlefield Cleaner' individual high-speed strike UAV independently developed by Wu Hao and others.
However, these two drones are relatively sensitive. The former is still in a highly confidential stage, while the latter is handed over to other more suitable military industrial companies for subsequent development.
The drones displayed by Wu Hao and others this time are other products and equipment, and their related uses are also very wide, but they are all related to security detection and monitoring, and do not involve the field of attack weapons and equipment.
"Yes, these are various types of drones and unmanned equipment that we have developed using existing relevant drone technologies. They are mainly aimed at customers in some security companies and the police field." Wu Hao said with a smile.
Well, Li Weiguo nodded, and soon he set his sights on a large four-axis drone at the scene. It looked very sci-fi, with its whole body dark, much like the sci-fi fighter planes in movies and television works.
"This drone is very special. It is an intelligent unmanned patrol security system?"
"Yes, this is the main force in the intelligent unmanned patrol security system we developed, an aerial patrol and warning drone."
Wu Hao nodded, and then introduced with a smile: "There are two versions of this drone. The first one is the white four-axis drone next to it. It is powered by batteries and has a battery life of fifty minutes.
, its main application scenarios are some venues, parks, and related areas that require warning and security.
Because the scenes and environments used are different, in addition to this aerial patrol and warning drone, we also have unmanned vehicles for ground patrol and warning tasks, and underwater robots for underwater surveillance and warning tasks.
These three will conduct all-round security patrols from the air to the ground to the water for sites or areas that need to be protected to ensure that no unknown threats enter the security range.
In order to achieve real-time protection around the clock and without blind spots, we have also set up an automatic replacement duty system for this system.
Generally, such an intelligent unmanned patrol security system consists of multiple drones, unmanned vehicles and unmanned underwater robots.
Taking this kind of aerial patrol and warning drone as an example, its battery life is only fifty minutes. So in order to make up for this shortcoming, we will set up other drones to automatically take over this drone to continue the aerial patrol and warning mission.
As for this drone, it will automatically return to the starting point for automatic charging, repair and maintenance, waiting for the patrol and warning mission in the next period of time.
Correspondingly, the same applies to unmanned vehicles and unmanned underwater robots, ensuring the continuity and reliability of their patrol and warning missions."
