Chapter 1428 The cornerstone of the space exploration project

Yang Xiaoyun is not a professional technician, but she has been familiar with it for a long time, and with some professional learning, she is already very familiar with this aspect, and she can't stop talking about it.

Seeing Yang Xiaoyun finished speaking, Guo Yulong, the general manager of the spaceship project, nodded and added: "We are also trying to maximize the benefits. If we want to build our own commercial space station in the future, we must have our own manned spaceship and space station." Cargo ship.

The cost of developing a cargo spacecraft specially is too high, so we aimed at the manned spacecraft. Moreover, the return capsule of our manned spacecraft can be reused, so that the cost will be further controlled and reduced.

In addition, this spacecraft has a very special function as a cargo spacecraft, that is, it can still return and land. In other words, we can directly transport some of the goods on the space station back to achieve related recycling. Of course, some of the above experimental products can also be brought back to create related value. "

After listening to their introduction, Lin Wei, Zou Xiaodong and their entourage had a more detailed understanding of the unmanned experimental spaceship and return capsule. Of course, these are just some general and what can be said. Some complicated technical terms, some things that cannot be said, naturally cannot be said in front of these people, on such an occasion.

While listening to their introduction, Wu Hao carefully observed the undiscovered part of the shell of the return capsule. Looking at the burn marks on it, Wu Hao said: "How is the performance of our new heat-insulating coating this time?" ?”

Very ideal. Yu Chengwu said with a smile on his face: "Look, these are the burn marks of the new paint. The burn is very uniform, and the protection of the shell armor is very good. Even when breaking barriers at high speed, it is still possible to burn the inside of the shell. Temperatures are kept within socially acceptable limits."

After speaking, Yu Chengwu asked someone to operate on the computer, and then some comparison photos were displayed on the large screen hanging in the hall.

Please see, this is the appearance of our protective shell armor coated with new heat-insulating paint, and this piece is our ordinary alloy shell armor that has not been coated with new heat-insulating material.

Judging from the burning, the armor of the protective shell coated with new heat-insulating paint is still in good condition, and has not been eroded by much high temperature, and neither the structure nor the appearance has changed much.

As for this piece of protective shell armor that has not been coated with new heat insulation materials, please see that after high temperature friction, melting and deformation have occurred. The comparison can be said to be very obvious.

While Yu Chengwu was speaking, several sets of detailed comparison photos were displayed on the big screen, which were indeed very obvious.

Wu Hao showed a satisfied expression when he saw this, and then instructed: "We still need to test a few more times to fully verify the reliability of this technology before we can use it with confidence.

You know, what we want to build is a manned spacecraft, and we want to send people up safely,

It is even more important to send people down safely. It is a matter of life and safety, and there is no room for carelessness. "

Understand that we will not use it on our manned spacecraft without fully verifying its reliability and safety. Yu Chengwu nodded solemnly.

How is the preparation of the Walker 2 unmanned experimental spacecraft, and whether it can catch up with the launch window. Wu Hao couldn't help but cared again. Time was indeed very tight, so Wu Hao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Hearing his words, Guo Yulong nodded and said: "From the current point of view, the problem is not serious, and all aspects are progressing in an orderly manner. If there is no unexpected situation, there is still no problem in terms of catching up with the launch window. "

In other words, if there is a problem, the launch window may be missed. Wu Hao heard a different meaning from Guo Yulong's words.

Hearing his words, several people did not speak. In the end, Yu Chengwu nodded and replied: "Currently, time is really tight. We are already doing our best to ensure that the entire project can be carried out in a stable and orderly manner, and the launch window from late July to early August will never be delayed."

Regarding Yu Chengwu's words, Wu Hao frowned involuntarily, glanced at the serious-looking people, thought for a while, and then said: "The launch window from late July to early August must not be missed. If we miss it, we will You may have to wait in line until winter.”

Everyone couldn't help nodding their heads when they heard the words. The Northwest Space Launch Center has a very intensive launch mission, especially the manned spaceflight launch mission, so the launch window task is very tight. Once missed, it can only be postponed.

A series of other planned launch projects cannot be rescheduled because of your postponement, so if you miss it, you will miss it. If the project is delayed, the impact on them must be huge.

So thinking of this, Wu Hao couldn't help looking at the crowd and continued: "We must spare a period of time before the specified deadline, and then conduct an additional technical verification and overall investigation to ensure that the entire project is foolproof.

In this way, it will inevitably squeeze your preparation time, but it is necessary.

So I see it this way, you can transfer some project personnel from other project teams as appropriate, and temporarily participate in this project.

What we have to do now is to ensure the smooth launch of Xingzhe-2 on time. "

But in this way, the transfer of researchers from other projects will inevitably affect the progress of other series of projects. Zhou Xiangming couldn't help worrying.

Wu Hao waved his hand when he heard the words: "There must always be something to focus on. This project is very important. If we weigh the pros and cons, we can only sacrifice other projects to gain time for this project.

In addition, as long as it is well coordinated with other projects, transferring a few people will not affect other projects too much.

The most important thing is that other projects do not have to be launched at the Northwest Space Launch Center, you know what I mean? "

Hearing his words, Yu Chengwu's eyes lit up, he clapped his hands excitedly and said, "That's right, compared to the Northwest Space Launch Center, the launch windows of other launch sites are much more coordinated.

And if the coordination is proper, the transfer of a few people will have little impact on the operation of these projects, I think it can. "

Hearing his words, Guo Yulong nodded and said, "If we can increase our manpower, it will buy us a lot of time. It's just that the chief teachers of other projects will have opinions on me."

Haha, they have an opinion let them come to me. Wu Hao waved his hands and said with a smile: "What we have to do now is to ensure the normal progress of our manned spaceflight project. This is the cornerstone of our space exploration project."
