Vol 2 Chapter 1010: Rockets can still play like this

For these doctoral students, life pressure is still very huge. To be admitted to a Ph.D., the age is basically up to 26 or 27, with an average of about 30 years old. For them, this age is the most difficult time in their lives, especially those who are engaged in technology and are also engaged in space rocket satellite technology.

The development of domestic commercial aerospace is relatively slow. After graduation, most of them have gone to public institutions, and their salary is still relatively small.

Of course, after I went there, although there are certain subsidies and scholarships during the Ph.D. period, compared with many people who are married and have children, and live entertainment, life is still relatively cramped.

I encountered a free dinner at once, especially it was so rich, so everyone inevitably couldn't help themselves.

As for Chen Zhihong, he also stopped talking about the situation of his own students.

Compared with the young people who gobbled it up, Chen Zhihong started eating more slowly. Wu Hao also accompanied him.

Xiao Wu, the main purpose of our visit this time is to observe your launch this time. Last time I didn't come to witness the launch and recovery process of your first retractable rocket. To be honest, I'm sorry.

But is it good this time? We finally saw the whole picture of this ultra-low cost launch vehicle with our own eyes.

Chen Zhihong wiped his mouth, and then said to Wu Hao: "Ultra-low cost carrier rockets, in fact, we have been studying these years, but how to control the cost of rocket manufacturing is a very complicated and difficult problem.

How to reduce costs can only be done with materials and technology. But for high-risk products such as launch vehicles, the most stringent requirements are often materials and technology.

So, this is a contradictory issue. How to ensure the reliability of the launch vehicle while reducing costs is a difficult problem for many rocket technology developers.

And obviously in this regard, you are in the future for everyone. "

Chen Zhihong first gave a compliment, and then immediately asked him: "What did you think at the beginning, and how did you balance the relationship between the two?"

Hearing Chen Zhihong asking questions, the doctoral students and other experts accompanying him also stopped the rhythm of the meal and began to listen carefully.

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "Actually, I didn't think so much. When we were setting up the project, we were thinking about how to save money.

On the one hand, we are a private enterprise and do not have such strong financial support, so we must plan carefully and do the most with the least amount of money.

On the other hand, since we want to engage in private aerospace, we must focus on the market. The products we develop must also have very strong market competitiveness.

So where is the market competitiveness of launch vehicles, reliability, safety, carrying capacity, and one more, and the most important thing is cost.

The first four are actually not very different, and the only thing that can widen the gap and most affect market competition is cost.

If the cost of rocket R&D and manufacturing can be controlled, it means that we can win the competition with similar products on the market at a very cheap payload launch price, and thus obtain orders.

Following this line of thinking, we started the development of two types of rockets.

So how to reduce the cost of rocket transportation is nothing more than three solutions. First of all, the first type, a large-load rocket, can transport more heavy loads, so the cost per kilogram of load is naturally reduced. Only the increase in carrying capacity will naturally increase the cost of the rocket. Moreover, the technology of large-load rockets is relatively high, which is not suitable for us temporarily.

So we set the goal on the other two solutions. First, the first is to reduce the cost of rocket manufacturing and launching. Anyway, conventional rockets are one-off and non-recyclable, so why do we make rockets so good? Well, as long as it works.

To give a very simple example, like the spray on the rocket, if it is a normal spray, it will cost hundreds of thousands, and we are left with this money, although it is a bit ugly.

Of course, we can also sell the rocket body painting as an advertising space. For example, this time, we sold the rocket body painting to an e-commerce company for more than one million yuan. This is equivalent to Part of the cost was recovered in advance. "

Hearing what Wu Hao said, Chen Zhihong, his doctoral students and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes, and their hearts boiled like horses. Tucao again and again.

This rocket can still play like this, it's too stingy. Sure enough, there is no business but no evil.

It is also in accordance with this idea that we can save while saving. Together with the new mixed liquid fuel we use, the manufacturing and launch costs of its rockets are more than half cheaper than conventional rockets. This way we have a powerful Market competitiveness.

Well, I said, so many units and commercial companies are willing to hand over the orders to you, it turned out to be so much cheaper. Chen Zhihong suddenly realized, but then asked: "What about the safety and reliability of the rocket? How do you ensure that the reliability and safety of the rocket can be guaranteed while reducing costs like this."

The two are not directly related to the cost of the rocket. It has a certain impact, but the impact is not as huge as we thought ~www.readwn.com~ In fact, we are very willing to use enough materials.

Talking about it, Wu Hao took a sip of hot soup and smiled: "On the other hand, this is also related to our encouragement of innovation. We encourage everyone to innovate boldly, whether it is a researcher, a manufacturer, or other company employees. It is the ability to put forward feasible suggestions, plans, and any inventions, even ideas, which can be rewarded according to the situation, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even millions.

An old technician in one of our manufacturing workshops, with more than a dozen related crafts and invention patents, has received nearly 10 million bonuses from the company, and every year, we will pay him a certain amount of use.

With this bonus, he bought a villa in Anxi and settled down, successfully rising to the elite.

There are many similar examples. Many young employees in the company have also received very generous rewards for their innovative inventions.

So many employees are very rich. You can see that our company drives luxury cars and sports cars, not necessarily the company's leading cadres, most likely are employees. "
