"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 will it actually be launched?" ”

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile and said: "This depends on the overall research and development progress, we plan to launch an experimental rocket at the end of this year to verify the reliability of related technologies."

We will also cooperate with space research institutes and meteorological departments to launch high-altitude probes for this rocket.

There will be another test next spring, and if all goes well, our first commercial rocket will be able to launch with a payload or a commercial customer satellite by the end of next summer. ”

"It's so fast, your R&D cycle is too short." Li Weiguo jumped. After all, it takes a long period to develop a launch vehicle, not an artillery battle. I didn't expect Wu Hao and them to compress the cycle so shortly, is this possible?

Wu Hao explained with a smile: "The launch vehicle, in fact, there is no great technical difficulty, it is nothing more than considering two issues, one is safety and reliability, and the other is the cost." As long as these two major problems are solved, it can be said that success has been achieved. ”

"You kid really dare to say, if there is no technical difficulty, wouldn't that country be able to build it, then why are only a few countries able to play it now." Song Chunming smiled at him and scolded.

"Hehe, the problem of ability, to put it bluntly, there is no money." Wu Hao said with a smile.

Hahahaha...... The people present laughed when they heard this.

Wu Hao also continued: "Of course, this is only the first step in our development in the aerospace field, to solve the problem of starting from scratch. In the future, we will invest more money to develop some lower-cost commercial launch vehicles, including some commercial spacecraft and commercial space equipment.

For example, the parachute landing plus rocket reverser reversible rocket technology we are developing can continue to greatly reduce the cost of delivery.

Secondly, we will develop some commercial vehicles, such as low-earth orbiters, unmanned cargo spacecraft, manned spacecraft, and so on.

Then there are some orbiters, commercial deep space probes, etc., and we also plan to establish a resource exploration and research base on the moon in the future to prepare for the commercial development of the moon. ”

Hearing his words, the people at the scene couldn't help whispering, and Song Chunming took a breath and said: "Your plan is ambitious enough, I'm afraid it will invest a huge amount of money." ”

Li Weiguo looked at him even more worriedly: "Xiao Wu, you must be cautious and think carefully before doing it." With such a huge commercial space program, it may be difficult to accomplish it close to your family. Even if it's done, what about the benefits, have you considered this issue? ”

"Of course, the cost of this project will be so huge that we can't afford it alone. Therefore, in the future, we will cooperate with private capital to jointly promote this project with the relaxation of business cooperation. Wu Hao explained with a smile.

"Oh, then I'm relieved. With the entry of social capital, I am confident that this huge project will be successful. Li Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and said that he was afraid that Wu Hao would be carried away by the victory and then do something impulsive.

However, judging from Wu Hao's explanation, they should have a more rigorous development plan, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Everyone, please." Wu Hao guided everyone to the next platform, which is also their most important platform this time, and it can also be said to be the main product. There are all kinds of multi-rotor UAVs on the platform, including two-rotter, four-rotter, and six-rotor and eight-rotter, a very large family.

"These are the drone products you launched this time." Li Weiguo looked at these drones and couldn't help but be interested. As the head of the Air Force Equipment Research Institute, he has also been in contact with a lot of UAV equipment before, including the 'Crazy Bee' swarm array UAV strike system related to Wu Hao, and the 'Battlefield Sweeper' individual high-speed strike UAV developed by Wu Hao and them.

It's just that these two UAVs are more sensitive, the former is still in a highly confidential stage, and the latter is handed over to other military enterprises that are more suitable for follow-up development.

The drone that Wu Hao showed this time is another product and equipment, and the 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, this is a variety of types of drones and unmanned equipment that we have developed using existing related drone technology, mainly for some security companies and police fields." Wu Hao said with a smile.

Well, Li Weiguo nodded, and soon he locked his eyes on a large quadcopter drone at the scene, which looked very sci-fi and was pitch black, much like a sci-fi fighter in film and television works.

"This drone is very special, an intelligent unmanned patrol security system?"

"Yes, this is the main force in the intelligent unmanned patrol security system we have developed, the aerial patrol alert drone."

Wu Hao nodded, and then introduced with a smile: "There are two versions of this drone, the first is the white quadcopter drone next to it, it is battery-driven, with a battery life of fifty minutes.

Because of the different scenarios and environments used, in addition to this aerial patrol and vigilance drone, we also have unmanned vehicles for ground patrol and vigilance tasks, and underwater robots for underwater surveillance and vigilance tasks.

These three will carry out all-round security patrols of the site or area that needs to be protected from the air to the ground and then to the water to ensure that no unknown threat enters the security area.

In order to achieve real-time protection without dead ends around the clock, we have also set up an automatic replacement duty system for this system.

Generally, such an intelligent unmanned patrol security system is composed of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned vehicles and unmanned underwater robots.

Take this kind of aerial patrol alert drone as an example, its endurance time is only 50 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 air patrol and vigilance mission.

As for this drone, it will automatically return to the starting point for automatic charging and maintenance, waiting for the patrol and vigilance task in the next time period.

Correspondingly, unmanned vehicles and unmanned underwater robots are the same, so as to ensure the continuity and reliability of their patrol and vigilance tasks. ”
