Chapter 874: Money Burning Project

All of these banquets are the same, first here, then toasting, and then to the free play.

After patiently going through this series of processes, it finally came to the stage of free play.

The ponies at the wine table are not as taciturn as we usually see, but are unusually active. So after a round down, everyone is pretty much the same.

After the waiter re-served the tea, everyone sat around the round table and began to chat.

Xiao Ma couldn't wait to speak: "Mr. Wu, I heard that you came to bring several good projects to make a fortune this time, what's the matter, tell us about it." ”

Yes, yes, let's talk about it, we're all curious. Li Feihong's eyes lit up, and then he coaxed.

That's right, Mr. Wu, don't hide your secrets, do you have money to make money together, and then more and more people are coaxing.

……

In the face of everyone's coaxing, Wu Hao nodded with a smile when he saw this: "Since everyone is so interested, then I'll talk about it." ”

Hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but quiet down, not only that, but several neighboring tables nearby also quieted down, and they all looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

Wu Hao smiled when he saw this, sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and then spoke: "I have brought a lot of projects this time, and it is a little unrealistic to finish all of them, so I will talk about the two projects that burn the most money and have the most broad prospects."

First of all, the first project, that is our space program. ”

Glancing at everyone, Wu Hao said with a smile: "As everyone knows, we successfully launched our first low-cost commercial launch vehicle this summer and put three satellites into different orbits.

After that success, many companies came to the door, hoping to cooperate with us to send their satellites into space.

Soon our second commercial launch vehicle, and the first retractable rocket, will be launched.

If successful, we will be the second commercial company in the world to master the technology of retractable launch vehicle recovery after SPX.

And that's not all, as we will launch our third, one-time low-cost launch vehicle, Arrow 2, in March.

These two rockets will send two satellites and one large satellite into space, respectively.

And that's not all, in July and August, we will have another rocket launch, which will send one of our own experimental aircraft into space.

If possible, the experimental vehicle will dock with our space station. ”

Is it so dense? Hearing Wu Hao's introduction, everyone couldn't help but be taken aback. You must know that this summer, Wu Hao and his team successfully launched the first commercial launch vehicle.

I didn't expect it to develop so fast, next year there will be not only three rockets launched, but also retractable rockets. And it seems that Wu Hao and they will also launch their own experimental aircraft, and will also want to dock with the space station.

The picture is very big, and the ambition is very big!

Everyone couldn't help but glance at each other, and the shock in their hearts was undoubtedly revealed.

Won't it be a little rushy and profitable? Li Feihong was the first to ask. Keyuan

Wu Hao shook his head: "As far as a single rocket is concerned, the profit is certain. We have introduced new technologies to minimize expenses and costs. For example, the materials used in a one-time low-cost rocket are very cheap, so the launch cost of such a rocket is very low.

The second is the return-type reusable rocket, which is relatively expensive but can be reused. According to the design requirements, the first stage of the rocket can be reused at least five times, so that the cost can be further reduced.

Of course, compared to the huge R&D expenses in the early stage, these rockets are not enough to recover the cost at present. ”

The risk of the launch vehicle is high, are you sure? Pony asked.

Wu Hao shook his head when he heard this: "If you want to say that I am completely sure, of course I am not completely sure, and I am not completely sure of anything."

The launch risks of launch vehicles are indeed high, but these risks are also manageable and can be artificially minimized.

And now the technology is very mature, so the success rate of rocket launch is also significantly improved.

Finally, there is a very mature industrial chain in this regard, such as from project approval, to the manufacture of satellites and rockets, to the launch and operation, and even insurance.

Even if the launch fails, there will be insurance to pay for it. ”

Let's talk about the experimental spacecraft you're about to launch. The old horse spoke.

Well, Wu Hao glanced at Lao Ma, and then nodded: "This is an inflatable activity warehouse, and the entire cabin is a telescopic inflatable cabin made of new polymer materials.

During the carrying process, it is shrink and folded, so it takes up little space, and because it uses polymer materials and new processes, it is very lightweight.

After being sent to space orbit, the module will be rapidly inflated and expanded, and eventually form an inflatable activity compartment with an internal activity space of up to 10 square meters.

After flying in space for a period of time, this inflatable activity compartment will re-shrink and fold, adjust its attitude and fly to our space station for docking and a long stay in orbit experiment.

In addition to testing the safety and reliability of this inflatable activity warehouse. The space station's astronauts will also use this internal space to conduct a series of scientific experiments.

One of our test experiments is to cultivate a vegetable oasis in an inflatable activity warehouse, build a space farm, and experiment with space crops and space biological circulation systems.

Prepare for the next step of human deep space exploration, as well as long-term residence in space and alien planets. ”

Hearing Wu Hao's explanation, everyone present, or everyone who heard his words, couldn't help but be moved.

While they were still fighting for the first three points of land on the ground, the boy in front of them, who was younger than their children, looked at the vast space.

Moreover, the ambition is so big, he actually wants to explore deep space and alien planets, and wants to stay for a long time.

After sweeping around the crowd and seeing the looks on everyone's faces, Wu Hao smiled and said, "Of course, it's still far away to say this, so I'll talk about a more realistic one."

Space tourism, as we all know, has had many successful cases.

If we can do it abroad, why can't we do it? This polymer inflatable cabin is very flexible and can be expanded or contracted as needed.

With it, we can make space tourism a reality, a norm.

Of course, there are many more functions of it, and I will not list them all here. ”
