Vol 2 Chapter 1197: New Generation 1 Launch Vehicle Technology
This is indeed a very feasible method, and it is also one of the methods that everyone agrees on. Gao Jinguang nodded in approval.
Wu Hao nodded: "In fact, I prefer to print glass rather than printing this kind of concrete fortress. Everyone knows that the main raw material for glass production is sand, which is silica. On the moon, on Mars, in the soil. But there is no shortage of this.
Compared with the concrete fortresses in front, this printed glass is obviously more practical and more in line with our human imagination and expectations for future settlements on the moon and Mars.
More importantly, the dome, or living space, made of this kind of glass can make full use of sunlight, which is also very important for humans and plants living in it. "
Glass is indeed an ideal material that is most readily available and easy to manufacture. But in the same way, glass has its shortcomings. For example, glass cannot block all kinds of harmful rays from the universe and the sun. In addition, the strength of the glass is also a problem, if you ensure that the printed glass is strong enough. Gao Jinguang said to him.
Wu Hao nodded and said: "The two problems you mentioned are indeed real. First of all, we have to study and improve the process of 3D printing glass or other glass manufacturing technology so that it can reach the strength and toughness we require. Secondly, we also hope that in the glass manufacturing process, we can also add anti-ray technology, so that it can resist the harmful rays of the universe and the sun.
In fact, the multi-layer laminated glass currently used in high-rise buildings is very suitable. It is not only strong enough, but also low-cost and easy to manufacture.
Moreover, we can also inject a special transparent glue or substance into the interlayer between multiple layers of glass, which can effectively block these harmful rays from the universe and the sun, thereby ensuring human health under the glass dome. "
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laughed. Wei Hongyu stretched out his finger and said a little bit. He didn't feel good about it. "Look, this idea is great and very maneuverable. It seems that you are all here. Exploring and researching, what happened? Has the project been established?"
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "Currently, it's only undergoing pre-research, and it is far from being implemented."
It's not far, time doesn't wait for me. Wei Hongyu waved his hand and said: "At present, Miou has announced that he will return to the moon and establish an international scientific research station on the moon. Obviously, this is to exclude us and monopolize the resources of the moon.
Therefore, we must speed up the lunar exploration project. Otherwise, it may be like Antarctica, because it is too late and others occupy those good areas.
If you want to enter deep space, the moon cannot be bypassed. It can be said that it is our bridgehead and rocker into deep space, and it is also the gateway to our earth.
Therefore, our aerospace department has begun to discuss the proposal and technical demonstration work of establishing a permanent scientific research station on the moon.
I think you should join in this project. Only relying on the official power is still weak, it should attract more non-governmental forces to come in, thus greatly increasing our team strength. "
Hearing this, Wu Hao shook his head again and again: "Thank you for your kindness, but ah, we must have limited strength. Let's not mix in such projects."
Why, have thoughts or emotions? Wei Hongyu asked while observing him.
Wu Hao shook his head and said: "There is no emotion. This is because we don't want to be involved in such projects. You are also in position. We are a private enterprise and our identity is more embarrassing. So, it is better not to join in the fun, otherwise... "
Wu Hao didn't continue preaching here. But the few people present heard what he meant, and Wei Hongyu even laughed and cursed: "Why are you so young, but your mind is so heavy."
What's wrong with private enterprises? Private enterprises are also an important part of our country's economy. You are also an important member of our country's aerospace field. This project is related to the future development of our aerospace industry. As one of them, you should take this responsibility as a matter of course. "
Yes, it really is the leader, this word came out of his mouth, such a righteous remark, Wu Hao can't refute it.
The reason is this, but in fact, there are various problems, and Wu Hao doesn't want to get involved.
How good he is to do his own commercial aerospace project, if it is mixed into such a project, then there is not so much freedom, too much restriction.
Moreover, they are private enterprises themselves. In terms of their status, they are a lot lower than those enterprises and units with the heading of the state and the central government. If you join in, there is no way to speak.
Seeing that Wu Hao and Wei Hongyu had some disputes and disagreements in this regard, Gao Jinguang smiled and turned off the topic: "Xiao Wu, I heard from Xiao Yu before that your new generation of rockets is already under development.
As you know, I have been with the Rockets for a lifetime, so I am very interested in your new generation of rockets. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
I asked Xiaoyu, but he didn't say anything. How about it, tell me? "
When Wu Hao saw Gao Jinguang make a sound to make a rescue, he immediately glanced at the opponent, then nodded and replied: "This is actually nothing. We have already started the new generation rocket project.
In fact, there is nothing to keep secret, nothing more than two directions. One is the hope that the new generation of rockets can have a greater carrying capacity and thus carry a larger load.
Our current Jianmu-2 modified rocket has only a little more than six tons of capacity, which is far from enough for us, and it is difficult to be competent for some large payload launch missions.
Therefore, it is imperative for us to develop a new generation of large-thrust rockets, whether it is from our own development or market demand.
In the second direction, we naturally hope that our new generation of launch vehicles will have lower manufacturing and launch costs, so that we can seize more launch shares.
Although the main force of our future development is this kind of retractable launch vehicle, there is still a lot of room for use in ultra-low-cost disposable rockets like Jianmu-1.
Especially when performing some special launch missions, the advantages of this rocket are very obvious.
As for the retractable rockets, we also hope to further reduce the cost of a single launch, thereby further reducing the launch price to attract more customers.
How to further reduce launch costs? The best way is to increase the number of launches. The more rockets are reused, the cheaper the cost will be.
We are currently making efforts in this area, hoping to make breakthroughs in this area of technology. "
