Military Technology

Chapter 1393 Take off!

So fast?

Hearing Wu Hao's introduction, everyone present couldn't help being surprised. If the normal R\u0026D and testing process is followed, it will take at least three or four years, or even five or six years. Take our national aerospace manned spacecraft as an example. It took several years from the first unmanned experimental spacecraft to the first manned spacecraft.

Unexpectedly, Wu Hao and the others only took one year, and three unmanned experiments will be conducted this year. The experiment density is very high.

What about astronauts? Brother Xiao Ma asked immediately.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile: "At this stage, we will not train our own astronauts, but plan to hire astronauts from our country to perform related tasks.

We will train specialized astronauts and space engineers when required by future missions. "

Hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone nodded thoughtfully. Indeed, the cost of training an astronaut is too high, and it is a continuous investment, which is very uneconomical. So it is understandable for Wu Hao and the others to have such a plan.

On the other hand, the training and training of astronauts is very complicated, and it is not something that Wu Hao and the others can train if they want to. The most important thing is to obtain the approval of the competent authority.

In this way, in the early stage, the spaceship mainly performed the task of transporting members and materials. The old horse asked Wu Hao with a smile.

Wu Hao nodded with a smile: "Yes, at this stage, our main source of customers is official orders and international orders, helping them send astronauts to the space station, or transport related supplies.

In the future, we will gradually open space tourism projects to the private sector. If you are interested, you can take this manned spacecraft to live in our space station for a few days, and then come back. "

Ha ha ha ha……

After hearing his words, everyone present laughed. All the people present were billionaires, and everyone valued their lives more than anything else. No one would be willing to take such a huge risk for a romantic space trip.

But the heartbeat must be very exciting. If it is really possible to go up and travel around for a few days, it will be a blessing in this life.

Risks belong to risks, and dreams can still be had.

As a result, everyone became interested and asked Wu Hao all kinds of questions.

Is this space tourism expensive? Someone asked.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile and said: "For all of us here, it is not expensive at all, and it is also very affordable.

Of course, it depends on the specific project. Whether to fly on the spacecraft for a day and then come down, or to live in the space station for a few days, or even go to the moon for a few days,

The price is bound to vary widely. "

Also go to the moon, by the way, I almost forgot, you plan to build a permanent settlement on the moon. Tang Fusheng suddenly said.

Yes, Mr. Wu, tell us about this lunar settlement. Are you really planning to build a lunar city? Xuebing wasn't interested enough either.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Wu Hao nodded with a smile and said: "With our ability, it is definitely impossible, so we still hope to raise relevant project development funds from the society in the later stage.

In the first phase, we plan to build a commercial scientific research station on the moon to undertake related commercial scientific research work.

At that time, in addition to undertaking some of our own research projects, this lunar commercial scientific research station will also be open to the world. Some interested countries and companies can send scientists to settle in and carry out relevant scientific research work after paying a certain fee.

In the second phase, permanent settlements will be established on the basis of the first phase. The materials used in the settlements are all sourced locally, using resources on the moon for construction.

On the one hand, it reduces costs, and on the other hand, it is also preparing for the third phase of construction.

The second phase of the permanent settlement will reach a scale of 1,000 to 2,000 square meters, and can accommodate hundreds of people to live here for a long time.

And in this permanent settlement, a lunar ground farm will also be set up to provide related food sources. And we will also collect ice from the South Pole of the Moon to make fresh water.

This will also be an early prototype of a lunar city, and we will verify related technologies on this settlement. When the technology matures, we will build a lunar city on the moon that can accommodate 10,000 people and live there for a long time. "

Speaking of this, Wu Hao said with a smile: "When the moon city is really built, I will invite everyone to live there for a few days."

Haha, thank you in advance then. Little Ma said with a smile.

As for the old horse, he even joked: "I hope this day will come soon, otherwise we won't be able to wait."

Wu Hao smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, you will definitely see it."

Ten minutes to prepare!

The announcement that came out of the speaker made everyone stop involuntarily, and their eyes shifted to the big screens in front of them.

The camera from multiple angles has been aimed at the Jianmu-5 rocket carrying the unmanned experimental spacecraft "Walker-1".

As for this rocket, it stands quietly in front of the launch tower, waiting for the final launch moment.

With the arrival of the final launch moment, the launch command and control center on the big screen immediately entered the tense final decisive battle process, and various instructions were also transmitted through the live broadcast, exaggerating the tense atmosphere of the scene, making the huge Tianshu The activity hall of the activity center fell into silence, and everyone was holding their breath and staring at the big screen.

Attention all units, prepare in five minutes!

Hearing this broadcast, Brother Ma couldn't help moving his hands and said, "It's like I'm going to launch a rocket and a spaceship. I haven't been this nervous for a long time."

Same, me too. The old horse smiled and said, but his eyes were still fixed on the big screen.

"The pendulum is disengaged,,, the pendulum is disengaged."

While everyone was talking, the two swing rods surrounding the rocket and the related pipelines connected to the rocket also fell off and left, and the rocket really entered the final stage of development.

"Prepare in a minute!"

"Thirty seconds!"

"Twenty seconds!"

"Ten,,, three, two, one, light the fire, take off!"

"take off!"

boom! In the monitoring screen on the big screen, everyone can see the Jianmu-5 rocket standing on the launch tower, with a huge orange-red flame ejected from the tail, and white water vapor bubbling away.

The huge roar of the rocket ignited came from the audio system in the hall, making everyone in the hall rush to deafening.

Under the jet of huge orange-red tail flame and white water vapor, the Jianmu-5 rocket slowly took off into the air!
