Chapter 1011: Putting Wings on the Rocket

“…… It is precisely because of so many innovative ideas that our company has made rapid progress in related technical research and product research and development. ”

Wu Hao actually had a purpose in saying so much, otherwise he wouldn't have wasted so much tongue. On the one hand, it is mainly because Chen Zhihong is also a very respected expert in the field of aerospace technology, which is worthy of Wu Hao's respect.

On the other hand, he set his sights on the six or seven doctoral students that Chen Zhihong brought this time. These are all high-level talents in the field of aerospace technology, and they can be said to be baby bumps.

The purpose of his detailed statement is to impress these people. Don't say much, pull one over even if his tongue is not in vain.

"Hahaha, I said Xiao Wu, you don't mean to be a drunkard. Don't make up your mind about a few of them, the country is very good and not easy to cultivate, and I definitely hope that they can shine in important positions, so don't dig into the wall. Chen Zhihong nodded with his hand and said with a smile.

Hearing Chen Zhihong's words, his doctoral students also looked at Wu Hao and smiled, but they didn't know what they were thinking.

But for Wu Hao, his goal has been achieved. Now that the seeds have been planted, they are waiting to blossom and bear fruit.

However, before germination, it is still necessary to apply more fertilizer and add more strength.

"Aren't we advocating freedom to come and go, and we should all respect their own choices." Saying that, Wu Hao smiled at these doctoral students and said, "We warmly welcome high-quality talents like you." In the introduction of high-quality talents, whether it is our company or Anxi local, there are a series of favorable policies, if you are interested, you can learn more, our door will always be open for you! ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wu!" These doctoral students hurriedly thanked them, and some of them wanted to say something, but when they saw that their supervisor was here, they didn't dare to say more.

Of course, this scene was also seen by Chen Zhihong, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Yes, it seems that I really lost my wife and soldiers on this trip." That's it, that's it, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let them go. ”

Hehe, Wu Hao smiled and comforted when he saw this: "This old Chen, our private aerospace industry is also an important part of the national aerospace industry, although it started relatively late and is still relatively weak, but I believe that its development prospects are very broad."

Moreover, in the long run, it is imperative to develop commercial aerospace and private aerospace. More capital and talents will help promote the development of our country's aerospace industry. We will develop our country from a space power to a space power.

I am very optimistic about the commercial aerospace industry, and I have also formulated a long-term development plan.

In fact, we will not only be limited to the field of launch vehicles, but will also enter other fields of space technology in the future, such as communication satellites, optical imaging satellites, scientific experiment satellites, and so on.

In addition to satellites, we are also actively conducting research on spacecraft. In August, we will launch an experimental spacecraft that we have developed ourselves.

This is just the beginning, and our medium- and long-term goal is to explore resources on the Moon and Mars, as well as mineral resources in the surrounding asteroid belt. ”

"Oh?" At this moment, not only Chen Zhihong, but everyone else present showed an interested look.

"I didn't expect you to have such ambitions, this is very similar to the Musk abroad, didn't he say that he wanted to send people to Mars." Chen Zhihong laughed and quipped.

As for Wu Hao, he was not annoyed, but shook his head with a smile: "No, I am different from him, at least the purpose and methods are different."

I admit that in terms of launch vehicles, we have learned from him, but we have also embarked on a path of our own development.

For example, our retractable launch vehicles. From the beginning, our R&D team wanted to copy their Falcon rocket. However, progress has been slow due to technical and material constraints.

I, on the other hand, offer my own opinion or point of view on this.

Why limit ourselves to their recycling technology, can we find another way? Anyway, as long as the rocket can be landed safely and then reused.

As a result, we pioneered a first-stage rocket body that uses parachutes and engines to work together to land rockets.

Although there are more parachutes, there will be hundreds of kilograms of more weight, but it will also save a lot of fuel, and the working time and intensity of the engine will be relatively reduced. It is beneficial to extend the number of times that the first-class arrow body part can be recycled, so as to further reduce the cost.

In fact, we are already working on the recovery technology of the new first-stage rocket body, and there has been a breakthrough in the recovery technology of the second-stage rocket. ”

"Oh?" Chen Zhihong's eyes lit up, and then he asked: "The recovery technology of the second-stage rocket body is much more difficult than the recovery of the first-stage rocket body, but it has to go back and forth through the atmosphere, and the distance is long, the recovery is very difficult, and the cost is also very high."

Why, is it also a parachute? ”

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "No, if you use a parachute again, you won't be able to row, first, the parachute is too heavy, which will affect the carrying capacity of the rocket, and some of the gains outweigh the losses." Second, the landing site of the parachute is relatively fixed, and it cannot be launched inland, while it is more difficult to recover it at sea.

So we plan to use a new technology, but it's not a new technology, which is to learn the way the shuttle returns and land, and put wings on the second stage rocket body. ”

"Wings?"

Everyone first showed surprise and affection, and then their eyes lit up.

Chen Zhihong thought for a moment, then looked at Wu Hao and nodded: "Theoretically, this plan is feasible, but it involves a lot of technical problems, and it is very difficult. ”

Wu Hao nodded: "It is true that the technology is very difficult, but in this regard, we have made breakthroughs, but if we want to put it into use, I am afraid it will take a while." ”

"When you say that, I look forward to it even more. If this technology can be successfully developed, it will further reduce the cost of rocket launches, and create the possibility of large-scale travel to and from space for mankind to open up the space age. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhihong smiled at everyone: "In the future, space travel is no longer an exclusive project for astronauts and those rich people, and we ordinary people can achieve it with a little money." ”

Hehehehe......

When everyone present heard his words, they all laughed. But what is the little money in his mouth, everyone can't help but guess.
