In the future, our series of large-scale space exploration projects will also be transferred from the northwest to the South China Sea Launch Center for launch. It can be said that there will be our main battlefield in the future. Zhou Xiangming explained to the female supervisor and others.

If I remember correctly, whether it is the Jianmu 5 or Jianmu 7 rocket, it is a retractable rocket. If it is transferred to the South China Sea launch site, it will bring great benefits to the recovery technology of the launch vehicle. The big requirements and the limitations of the South China Sea launch site mean that we will abandon the land return landing method and replace it with offshore platforms for recovery.

As a result, not only the difficulty of recycling technology has increased a lot, but also the cost of recycling. After listening to Zhou Xiangming's introduction, the female supervisor immediately expressed her opinions or questions.

Hearing the questions raised by the female supervisor, everyone was a little surprised. In such a short introduction, you can quickly analyze the related drawbacks. This ability is really amazing.

Immediately everyone looked at Zhou Xiangming, waiting for his answer.

As for Zhou Xiangming, after seeing everyone turning their eyes to him, he immediately smiled, and then said to everyone very simply: "This is indeed what happened after we transferred related rockets and large-scale space exploration projects to the South China Sea launch site. Show the problem, these two problems cannot be avoided, and they are indeed problems we have to face and solve.

In this way, I use this to answer your two questions.

First, the first one is technical.

Moving from land to ocean, there are indeed many technical problems we will face.

First, the first one is to transfer the rocket's land recovery landing site to a mobile landing platform on the sea.

This requires that the landing accuracy of our rocket recovery is relatively improved. If there is a slight drop, the rocket may directly fall into the sea.

Secondly, the sea surface conditions change rapidly. The offshore landing platform will sway with the waves and undulations, and also because of the waves and swells, it is difficult to accurately locate the offshore platform.

And this brings new challenges and problems for sea recovery and landing. First of all, it is necessary to control the accuracy of the sea landing platform and control its swing range. This has higher requirements for the development and manufacturing of offshore landing platforms.

In fact, this problem is not difficult to solve, it is nothing more than spending more money. A very simple truth, don't we always say that the bigger the ship, the more stable it is naturally.

It's very simple. Increase the displacement or tonnage of the offshore landing platform. If the tonnage of the offshore landing platform is large, it will naturally be more resistant to wind and waves and will naturally be more stable.

However, simply increasing the tonnage is a bit too clumsy, or this is by no means the best solution.

Because the construction of such a large-tonnage offshore landing platform will inevitably require a lot of investment, which is different from our goal or philosophy.

Because the cost of building such a large tonnage offshore landing platform will also be converted into the cost of each rocket launch, which increases the cost of rocket launch.

The second is that the risk is too high. The risk of recovery of the rocket body on the sea is very high, and it is still on the sea landing platform.

Recycling at the landing site on land, even if the rocket body fails to land, it will not cause much damage to the reinforced concrete landing site.

Even if it is destroyed, repair is very convenient and the cost is very low.

But switching to an offshore landing platform, once the rocket body fails to land and causes an accident such as an explosion or combustion, it will bring a devastating blow to such a heavily researched and developed offshore landing platform.

Then such a failure will cause huge losses to our entire project, and this loss will also be difficult for us to bear.

Even Musk’s Falcon rocket had such a major accident during the recovery process.

Therefore, they chose to use an offshore landing platform modified by a cheap freighter to recover and land the rocket body.

We also intend to use this idea to purchase a second-hand cargo ship to transform it into an offshore landing platform for the recovery and use of rocket bodies.

Of course, if you want to turn it into an offshore landing platform, you still have to spend some time.

The second method is to build a large offshore floating platform to be used as an offshore landing platform for rocket recovery experiments. This cost will be relatively low.

At present, we are also experimenting with two methods to choose a suitable recovery method and offshore landing platform.

Of course, there is actually a more convenient way, that is, we can rent the offshore landing platform of the Aerospace Industry Group, which has better conditions, and the cost of a single lease is cheaper.

In this regard, although we have a competitive relationship with them. But such cooperation is also very beneficial to both parties.

For us, we have saved money on the construction of offshore landing platforms, which can be used with very good conditions for very little money.

For the Aerospace Industry Group, it also requires a considerable amount of cost to maintain such an offshore landing platform. Except for some launch missions, these offshore landing platforms are all vacant.

And our use can help them solve part of the maintenance costs. Counting down in this way, it is also a very considerable benefit for them. "

Wu Hao nodded when he heard the words: "This is a win-win cooperation. You can try to get in touch with them and get a feel for them first.

If necessary, UU reading www. uukanshu. com I can communicate with the leadership of the Aerospace Technology Group. "

Thank you Mr. Wu. Zhou Xiangming showed joy on his face and quickly thanked him.

Yang Fan on the side shook his head and said: "In the long run, we still have to have our own offshore landing platform. In this way, the restriction is even smaller. And in the long run, we have such a ship. The offshore landing platform is still very advantageous."

Yes it is. Zhou Xiangming nodded and said: "There are bound to be many restrictions on the use of other people's houses, and even if the single rent is cheaper, it may be a considerable cost if it is added up in one year.

So our opinion is to build our own offshore landing platform, and we will get it in place all at once. "

Hearing Zhou Xiangming's words, everyone present nodded and expressed their approval.

Wu Hao looked at the crowd, and then slightly kowtowed: "If this is the case, then you first come up with a list of feasible plans for the construction of the offshore landing platform and the relevant cost quotation.

Let me take a look at it first. Compared to our future huge space exploration projects, this is just a drop in the bucket.

So you don't need to be so entangled, you have to invest when you should, as long as you don't squander it. "
