Vol 6 Chapter 2870: Can you really make money on the moon?

Hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoman, who was the first to wake up from his thoughts, immediately interrupted everyone's thoughts and said: "Look, I just chatted and forgot to eat.

Let's eat and talk while we eat. It's cold today, so Weiwei and I discussed that we'll have hot pot today. "

Hearing what Zhang Xiaoman said, everyone nodded their heads. Indeed, in such weather, eating hot pot is the best choice. And the family hasn't eaten hot pot together for a long time, so this time it can satisfy their cravings.

In fact, eating hot pot does not mean how delicious hot pot is. Most of the time, eating hot pot is eating in an atmosphere, crowded and lively.

Immediately with the help of everyone, the hot pot and various dishes were served on the table. In fact, many of them are specially bought from outside, such as these cut meats. Although the family can also cut, but certainly not as professional as others.

Especially for this beef, each part is very particular, and the taste of each part is different, so I definitely can't make it at home.

After coming to the dining table and taking a seat, Wu Hao also took out a bottle of Baigan and several bottles of craft beer from the wine cellar, and brought out two bottles of freshly squeezed juice for Lin Wei and the others.

Everyone sat around the round table, waiting for the bottom of the pot to boil.

Wu Jianhua, who was still thinking about the content of the previous chat, asked Wu Hao at this time: "You have invested so much in the lunar exploration project, can you really make money?"

Hearing this question, everyone present looked at Wu Hao. Indeed, this issue is also a topic that many people are most concerned about, and relatives are no exception. They were worried that he invested too much in this project, which would eventually lead to losses or something.

In this regard, Wu Hao smiled and said: "Of course I can make money, this is a cutting-edge project, it can be said to be profitable, but the initial investment will be relatively large, and the profit cycle will be relatively long.

Let's not talk about the far away, let me talk about some money-making projects that can be developed in the past ten years.

First of all, our project is already making money. For example, we collect a large amount of data and information from the scientific research on the moon. Many scientific research institutions, universities and even technology companies are interested in it. It sold for about $100 million. "

so much! Even Lin Wei couldn't help being taken aback by this number.

Wu Hao smiled and waved his hands and said: "This is just an approximate statistic. In fact, it may be more than this. Just the high-definition photos and related materials we paid for download on the website earned almost five to six to seventy thousand dollars." up.

In addition, it is some other cooperation. For example, in this mission, we will carry some detection equipment from several scientific research institutes, and these are all charged.

In addition, like our launch vehicle system, it is already profitable, and the revenue is very considerable. The annual commercial launch volume also ranks among the best among countries and aerospace companies around the world.

Of course, this is just an appetizer, and the real money is still in lunar exploration.

Once our Lunar Zhihai lunar surface scientific research station is completed, it will be open to the world, attracting scientists from all over the world to enter. The current first phase of the project can accommodate more than 20 astronauts and scientists. In addition to our own maintenance and operation personnel, we can also sell more than a dozen places. These places alone will bring us great benefits every year. Fei's income.

Let's put it this way, every move these people make on the moon, even every breath they take, costs money. To put it simply, this is equivalent to building a hardcover house and renting it out. "

Will this work, will the state agree? Wu Jianhua couldn't help but worry.

Wu Hao smiled and waved his hands and said: "Normal commercial aerospace behavior, there is no disagreement, the state is very encouraging the development of our private aerospace enterprises and encouraging us to go out.

And on this project, relevant departments will also cooperate with us, and send astronauts to our Lunar Zhihai lunar surface scientific research station to carry out a series of scientific research and exploration activities. "

After answering Wu Jianhua's question, Wu Hao went on to say: "This is only for scientific researchers and astronauts, and in the future we will also open it to the public to attract moon travel.

At present, the prices of our space commercial tourism are different. If you go to the space station in a serious manner and stay for a few days, it is about more than 50 million US dollars.

If you just take that kind of spacecraft and experience a few minutes of weightlessness near the Karman line, it will only cost a few hundred thousand dollars, which is not considered space travel.

So imagine how much it would cost to travel to the moon 380,000 kilometers away? "

How about hundreds of millions of dollars? Wu Tong thought for a while and then said.

Wu Hao smiled and said: "It's about the same, the price is expensive anyway."

In this way, this is an experience project for the rich, and we ordinary people have no chance to go up there. Wu Jianhua couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Wu Hao laughed when he heard Wu Jianhua's words: "Are you an ordinary person?"

Hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone present burst into laughter. Wu Jianhua froze for a moment, then shook his head and laughed. Indeed, how could he be considered an ordinary person? With such a billionaire son, he would have no problem traveling to space or even to the moon. What's more, the trip to the moon in the future will be made by his son and the others. If he wants to, he will definitely have this opportunity.

Seeing everyone laughing, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Wu Hao said with a smile: "At present, ordinary people have no chance to travel to space, unless the four aerospace technologies make a breakthrough and the price can be lowered." .

Of course, for many middle-class families, it is still possible to take that kind of spacecraft to the edge of space, that is, to play around the Karman line.

At present, we are also actively researching cost-reducing technologies. For example, we have now reduced the launch cost per kilogram of launch vehicle to about 12,000 yuan, which is the lowest launch price among commercial launch vehicles.

But people are not goods. People not only have to go up, but also have to come down. And people also need oxygen, but also need to ensure his life safety, these are costs.

For now, using our Walker series spacecraft can reduce the cost of manning to less than 10 million or even lower. Because the return capsule of our Voyager spacecraft, that is, his crew capsule, is reusable.

But this price is also very high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to accept it. Therefore, we still need to reduce this price to a price that ordinary people can accept. "
