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 before, does this mean that you are already engaged in technical research in manned spaceflight? One of the bespectacled male PhD students asked him. What do you call a classmate? Wu Hao asked with a smile on his face when he heard this.

Wei Dongqing! The male doctor was stunned for a moment, and then replied.

Wei Dongqing, good name! Wu Hao praised with a smile, then nodded and said: "That's right, we have recruited a lot of technical talents in the field of manned spaceflight, and we have also started technical research in manned spaceflight.

There is nothing surprising about this, and there is nothing to hide. In fact, when we started the space program, manned space flight was also included in the plan at the same time, which is the only way for us to develop spaceflight.

Moreover, the prospects for the development 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 people.

For us, if we want to develop a follow-up deep space exploration project, manned spaceflight cannot be bypassed. ”

However, in this regard, the country also has mature manned space technology, are you doing it again, and some resources are wasted? This Wei Dongqing is a little more sincere.

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "There are also launch vehicle countries, don't we do it."

The state is the state, and we are ours, and there is no conflict between the two. And precisely because it is a state, it has more restrictions and is very inconvenient in terms of commercial operation, while commercial manned spacecraft have no concerns in this regard.

In addition, for our country's aerospace industry, if there are two manned spacecraft, then the choice will be larger, so why not do it. ”

So this spacecraft experiment in August is a manned spacecraft? Wei Dongqing took the opportunity to ask.

Wu Hao looked at him and scolded with a smile when he heard this: "Slippery head, this roundabout is trying to ask me for news." ”

Hahahaha......

The other people present laughed when they heard this, and the female doctor who had been talking before said coquettishly to Wu Hao: "Mr. Wu, just talk about it." This opportunity is very rare, so you can tell us more about it, so that we can learn more. ”

Well, I can't say it's okay. Wu Hao smiled bitterly, and then continued to talk to everyone: "No, manned spaceflight is a very complex project, and we have not yet reached the actual test stage, and it will take some 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 be curious.

Yes, another technique, but it still needs to be experimented, and I don't know if it will succeed. Wu Hao nodded with a smile.

What kind of technology is it, can you tell us about it? The female doctor asked the most.

Xiaolan! Chen Zhihong opened his mouth and reminded: "Curiosity is committed again, and this kind of trade secret can be inquired about casually." ”

Saying that, Chen Zhihong looked at Wu Hao and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xiao Wu, this girl is too curious, when you are in class." ”

Hehe, it's fine. 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 of Chen Zhihong's many students, so she stays by her side wherever she goes. Of course, she is also the smartest and best among Chen Zhihong's students, and Chen Zhihong is the most optimistic.

Therefore, Wu Hao is more interested in her, and hopes to "attract" her to the company, so naturally he will not blame her for anything. Besides, it's a few problems in itself, and it's nothing to him.

It's really hard to answer this question, at least not yet. But ah, I'm 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 this Zhu Xiaolan, but everyone else also thanked him again and again.

Mr. Wu, this launch in August used a retractable rocket, right? Wei Dongqing asked at him.

That's right, Wu Hao nodded and said: "All the launch missions this year after this launch will be carried out by retractable rockets." ”

Oh, what about this and that ultra-low-cost rocket, isn't it ready to be launched again? Chen Zhihong asked at Wu Hao.

No, it will still carry out launch missions, after all, there are some special launch missions, and the first-stage rocket body of the rocket cannot be recovered. Moreover, the carrying capacity of this ultra-low-cost rocket is much stronger than that of our Jianmu-2 retractable rocket. 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 everyone.

Hearing him say this, everyone nodded immediately. Indeed, in terms of cost control, even if the launch cost of this ultra-low-cost launch vehicle is low, it cannot compare with this retractable rocket. Therefore, from this aspect, the receptacle rocket is the main direction of future development.

Mr. Wu, please talk about deep space exploration, 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 similar plans.

What about you, do you have such a plan? Zhu Xiaolan asked at Wu Hao.

Wu Hao nodded with a smile when he heard this: "That's right, we are also always paying attention to the real-time information in the current national aerospace field.

We are also very interested in this kind of scientific research base that can live 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 the project and whether it has commercial value.

We must also eat. ”

Hearing him say this, the big guys also nodded in understanding. Indeed, this is the biggest difference between private aerospace, commercial aerospace, and officially-led aerospace projects.

After a large number of people, 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, science funds, and they can invest in or fund projects in this area.

For example, we can build such a scientific research base and accept relevant scientists for a fee to go where to conduct work experiments.

Of course, we can also accept relevant tourists to visit the hotel experience and so on.

At the same time, the moon itself also has many rich resources, such as helium-3, which we are familiar with, which has a very considerable value.

If we build a scientific research base, we can completely establish such a mining area. ”
