Vol 2 Chapter 2089: 1 All stingy is to save costs

Hearing Zhang Jun's complaint, Wu Hao laughed, and Zhou Xiangming and the others also laughed, but there was more helplessness in the smile.

Although they really don't want to explain these issues, who made Zhang Jun their immediate boss? Even if they are helpless, they have to explain it patiently. Otherwise, unless he doesn't want to do it, or the project is not ready to be realized.

Zhou Xiangming explained to Zhang Jun with a smile: "It's not troublesome at all, in fact, our method of landing on the moon is basically the same as the Apollo landing method used by Laomei 40 or 50 years ago, except that the Apollo landing on the moon is basically the same. It was done in one piece, and we split it into three parts.

Although we are a little more troublesome and tossed than the Apollo moon landing, our method is the most reasonable, the easiest to implement, and has the advantages of repeatable operation, low construction and operation costs, and so on.

Not to mention the rest, that is, our ability is not yet able to create a behemoth like the Saturn V. You must know that the near-Earth carrying capacity of Saturn V has reached nearly 120 tons, and its lunar carrying capacity has also reached an astonishing 45 tons.

In contrast, I am afraid that only our country's long-term can match it, but from the data point of view, it is even slightly insufficient.

Secondly, using a behemoth like the Saturn V, coupled with the entire Apollo spacecraft, this trip to the moon will cost a huge amount, which can be said to be an astronomical figure. Even the old beauty, who was in full swing at that time, had to give up in the end.

Such a large launch cost is probably not something that a private company like us can support at present. Even if we go public in the future, it is probably impossible to support such a huge money-burning project. Investors are the most practical, why should they be optimistic about such a project that burns money with little return?

And our split-type, stepped lunar landing plan, although it is a bit more tossing, is better at low cost, sustainable, and lower technical requirements.

Our Jianmu-7 rocket used to launch the Walker spacecraft is recyclable and reusable, and the Earth-Moon transfer spacecraft used for the transfer of personnel and materials between the Earth and the Moon is reusable in long-term orbital operation.

And the lander used for landing on the moon can also be reused, so that we can control the cost of landing on the moon at a very low price. In this way, we can easily defeat other competitors with ultra-low operating costs, so as to seize the opportunity in the lunar competition, and even benefit the invincible position. "

To put it bluntly, everything is to save costs, which is the key to commercialization. After Wu Hao heard Zhou Xiangming's words, he said to Zhang Jun.

After listening to Wu Hao's words, Zhang Jun nodded with satisfaction. As long as he can spend less money, he likes it. And after Zhou Xiangming's introduction, he is more optimistic about this project.

Seeing that Zhang Jun did not continue to ask questions, Wu Hao waved at several people: "Go, go in and have a look!"

Because of the limited space in the Earth-Moon transfer spacecraft, only Wu Hao and Zhang Jun, accompanied by Zhou Xiangming and Yang Xiaoyun, entered the interior of the Earth-Moon Transfer spacecraft model. In order to ensure the internal plot, several people put on shoe covers.

Contrary to what Wu Hao and the others imagined, the interior decoration is also very complete. It doesn't look like a test product at all.

Like the internal space structure of the core module of the space station, the interior of this Earth-Moon transfer spacecraft is also divided into squares, and walking in is like walking into a house with a tight layout.

After passing a row of instruments and equipment, Wu Hao's eyes stayed on the horizontal grids on both sides of the large column, and then asked Zhou Xiangming, "Are these the resting and sleeping places for astronauts?"

Zhou Xiangming nodded and replied: "Yes, there are eight bedrooms on both sides for passengers in the Earth-Moon Transfer spacecraft to rest. Each bedroom can accommodate one passenger to rest. There are two more over there. The toilet is for the convenience of the astronauts and for bathing."

"Looks a little small?" Zhang Jun put his head into a small bedroom and looked at it.

"Actually, it is not small. We have personally experienced that it can accommodate a person to rest in it, and we have independent vents in each bedroom, which can ensure the air circulation in the bedroom. And everyone has noticed Yes, each bedroom has a small window to see the outside, which is also to soothe the body and mind of passengers and reduce stress during the orbit.

As for this side, it is the kitchen. We have installed a microwave on the spacecraft, as well as two refrigerators, as well as hot and cold water dispensers. In this way, members can not only eat hot food in the spacecraft, but also hot tea, hot coffee and other items in the river. The refrigerator can be used to store some cold and fresh materials for passengers to use.

A fitness area is also arranged here for passengers to perform some simple physical training in orbit to prepare for the follow-up mission to the moon. However, under normal circumstances, a single voyage is only two or three days, three or four days, so it is basically useless.

In the future, if the lunar scientific research station is built, we will of course put more fitness equipment in it, and passengers do not need to exercise in the spacecraft.

This is the equipment control area. Not only can all system functions of the entire spacecraft be controlled here, but if necessary, it can also be switched to manual mode to drive the entire Earth-Moon transfer spacecraft.

This is the test area, where some on-orbit related experiments can be carried out. "

After listening to Zhou Xiangming's introduction, Wu Hao nodded, then looked around, walked out of the model, patted the warehouse, turned his head and asked Zhou Xiangming who followed him: "This earth-moon transfer spacecraft When will it be successful?"

Hearing Wu Hao's question ~www.readwn.com~ Zhang Jun and the others also looked over, obviously they were also very concerned about this issue.

When Zhou Xiangming heard the words, he thought for a while, and then said to Wu Hao: "Because of the relevant technologies of the core module of the space station as a reference, the development of our earth-moon transfer spacecraft is still very fast. However, it is far from successful development. , there is still a long time left.

I estimated that it will take about three to four years, and this is the fastest answer I can give you. "

Hearing Zhou Xiangming's words, Wu Hao shook his head again and again, and then said to Zhou Xiangming: "Impossible, I can't give you such a long time. Once our lunar scientific research station is officially launched, it will be completed in two to three years. The first phase of the construction project will be completed within five years.

You're asking for too long, we can't hold off the whole project until you succeed, so you have to hurry up in this one. "

With that said, Wu Hao raised two fingers: "Two years, I'll give you two years. In two years, I'll see the results!"
