Sure enough, as soon as this opening was opened, everyone's interest was very high. One by one, they were eager to try, as if they all had countless words to express.

The first questioner directly asked a core and most concerned question, the future research and development direction and goals of their team.

Hearing this question, Wu Hao smiled, and then preached to everyone: "At this stage, our research and development goal must be a low-priced, safe and reliable large launch vehicle. Only when we have done this can we move on to other aspects of research.

The first thing we need to solve is the part of starting from scratch, and no matter what, we have to get the rocket out first.

Of course, you can't just deal with it. Since you want to do it, then do it well and come up with a product that impresses others.

When it comes to launch vehicles, I don't know as much as any of you here. So I'm just going to talk about my understanding of this aspect here, just for your reference.

First of all, we have to figure out what are the most critical elements of the rocket, the carrying weight, safety and reliability, and the price! Everything else has to be centered around these three.

For all of you, these three points are issues that you will have to face in the future, and even in your life.

Our goal is to build an excellent carrier rocket with the largest load, the highest safety and reliability, and the cheapest price, so as to lay a solid foundation for us to explore the universe.

I don't know how to overcome these three questions, so it's up to you to explore. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Hao paused for a moment, glanced at everyone present, and then continued: "I don't have a specific research direction and plan, which requires you to make plans according to local conditions."

Let me talk about the general research direction here, our current priority is to establish a complete launch vehicle research and development team.

The first goal of this launch vehicle research and development team after its establishment was to develop our own first launch vehicle. I don't have a lot of requirements, as long as I can get the satellite into orbit safely.

The main purpose of this phase is to train the team and prepare for our next phase of tasks. Some people may think that this stage is already difficult, and it is not enough to send satellites into the sky. ”

Glancing at everyone, Wu Hao shook his head and said, "Not enough, far from enough." If that's all there is to it, then how do we compete with the market. Not to mention the echelon of government-led transport rockets, which are far ahead, but two private companies have already used their own rockets to send satellites into space (Note 1).

Even if we catch up with each other, that's third. This world is very realistic, people will always remember who the first is, but not necessarily remember the third. So what we have to do is not to catch up with each other, but to surpass each other. ”

With a sigh of relief, he continued: "After having a complete and mature research team, we are about to officially start our R&D program.

On the one hand, we need to use large-scale 3D printers to try to print large-scale components on rockets, and gradually increase the share of such components.

As for 3D printing technology, it is relatively mature at present, but the world's major aerospace research institutions are trying to apply this kind of components to launch vehicles.

Launch vehicles using 3D printing technology have a shorter manufacturing cycle, lower cost, lighter weight, and higher material strength.

This means that this kind of 3D printed launch vehicle not only has a higher thrust-to-weight ratio, but also has a very low cost price, which will be very competitive in the market. ”

Hearing Wu Hao's plan, everyone couldn't help but start discussing it in a low voice. However, he did not give the people time to discuss, and continued: "On the other hand, it is the development of a retractable rocket. The goal is still the same, that is, to save the launch cost as much as possible.

The reason why we have always wanted to acquire Zero Gram Aerospace is that we appreciate their research and development progress on retractable rockets.

Although the acquisition failed, we will not give up on this technology field. In the future, we will not only invest more funds, but also recruit more outstanding talents.

There is always only one goal, and that is to build a better launch vehicle. ”

Bang Bang Bang ...... After seeing him finish speaking, everyone applauded.

And Zhou Xiangming, who had been listening carefully to his speech and taking notes, sorted out his notes at this time, and then said to Wu Hao: "Mr. Wu, in fact, we have used 3D printing in the research and development of experimental rockets at this stage.

However, although the current 3D printing technology has been developed relatively maturely, there is still a certain gap in some finishing fields, and the current 3D printing technology on the market can still achieve the accuracy required for the parts on the transport rocket. ”

"There is no one on the market, so we can develop it ourselves, and the scientific research technology is just a little bit of a groping. If you want to do a good job first, you must first sharpen your tools, and there is no guy who can do a good job. ”

Wu Hao smiled at Zhou Xiangming and everyone: "In the field of 3D printing technology, our country has always been among the advanced in the world. We have advantages in this area, and we also have classic cases that we can learn from.

Therefore, I hope that you will take advantage of the courage and determination of your predecessors to create our own firsts in this field.

Do you have confidence! ”

"Yes!" Although there was some uncertainty in my heart, when the mood came, everyone shouted with them.

"Okay, let's do it together." Wu Hao smiled with satisfaction.

"Mr. Wu, our current scientific research conditions are very simple, can you give us a better place. There is also scientific research equipment, many of which we don't have yet, can we ......?"

Before the technician's words were finished, he was interrupted by Wu Hao with a smile: "I turned around here today, and it is indeed a little shabby." In this way, when I get back, I will start to make arrangements and ask someone to help you find a place with slightly better conditions.

At present, our new headquarters has not yet been built, so let's grieve first. As for scientific research equipment, you can count what is still missing, and then sort out a list and report it. I'm going to step up the approval, and then I'm going to get the additions.

Of course, the first batch of 50 million funds will arrive soon, and you can discuss the use of it yourself.

There is a belt of you, that is, it cannot be wasted. In this regard, the company has a special supervision and audit team to keep an eye on it, and they have caught it. Even if I love you again, I will tear up. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wu!"

Although Wu Hao gave these people a wake-up call in the end, it still did not affect everyone's joyful mood. Especially after hearing that the 50 million funds will arrive immediately, it is like a person who has been poor for a long time and suddenly wins 5 million.
