Of course Wu Hao also knew what the expert wanted to ask, and then he changed the topic and answered with a smile: "Compared with traditional space station capsules, our inflatable inflatable capsule is actually easier to maintain.

We have specially designed a repair subsidy for this kind of cabin. This repair subsidy can repair damaged gaps and loopholes from the inside and outside.

And it is very simple to repair. You only need to peel off the protective film of this repair patch, then wipe the posted area, and then heat it and paste it on. The whole process is very simple and quick, just like we repair a tire.

After the repair is completed, the repaired part will be very strong without any degumming, which can fully meet the relevant needs. "

Speaking of this, Wu Hao glanced at everyone, paused briefly, and then said with a smile: "As for many people's worries that this inflatable capsule will explode like a balloon once it ruptures, it will not happen.

On the one hand, we use high-strength polymer composite materials. This material not only has high strength, but also has good toughness. It has excellent fatigue resistance, pressure resistance, and tensile resistance, so it will not explode like a balloon. Condition.

Secondly, once this kind of inflatable inflatable cabin leaks, the cabin or the space station system will quickly detect it. In addition to the material itself having a certain repair ability, the space station system will also alert the members in the cabin so that timely processing can be carried out. .

At the same time, the space station system will begin to adjust the pressure in the damaged compartment to slow down the leak. If necessary, this section will be temporarily closed and reopened after repairs.

Even in the worst case scenario, if the damaged gap is large and cannot be repaired, the bulkhead will not explode and be torn and ruptured on a large scale. The independent inflatable support air column inside will also provide support to avoid The entire inflatable capsule collapsed rapidly.

No, the latter situations are unlikely to happen. "

After hearing Wu Hao's explanation, everyone present also spoke highly of it. However, some experts have raised new questions.

"How long can the service life of your inflatable inflatable capsule be? If the service life is too short, then it will be uneconomical to waste time and effort to build such a space station."

Wu Hao smiled and replied: "The designed service life of this inflatable inflatable cabin is eight years, but under normal circumstances, it can be replaced in five to six years.

Of course, if the cabin is in good condition, you can wait until the end of its designed service life before replacing it, or consider extending the service period.

However, as a commercial space station, the standard of replacement will generally be maintained in five to six years. This also ensures the safety of the cabin and the members inside.

As a commercial scientific research station, replacing modules according to this cycle can still reduce the operation and maintenance costs of the entire space station to a lower standard.

On the other hand, five or six years of commercial operation of the space station is enough to support such replacement and maintenance costs. "

After hearing what Wu Hao said, an expert followed up his words and asked: "According to what you said, is the cost of this expandable inflatable cabin very cheap?"

Wu Hao smiled and nodded and replied: "Yes, the biggest advantage of this inflatable cabin is that it can be inflated into a large cabin, thereby forming a large internal pressurized space. The other is The manufacturing cost may be only one-third or even one-fifth of that of a conventional space capsule.”

So low? Hearing what he said, everyone at the scene was shocked. To be able to build a cabin that is five to six times or even ten times larger than an ordinary space capsule at the cost of only one-third or even one-fifth of an ordinary space capsule is simply too ideal and too dreamy.

Wu Hao nodded and explained: "Compared with ordinary space capsules in the past, this expandable inflatable capsule is very easy to manufacture.

Ordinary space capsules must be built piece by piece and assembled with countless parts. The whole process is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

As for our inflatable inflatable cabin, it is essentially made of this polymer composite material that is folded in multiple layers and then 'sewn'.

This kind of polymer composite material can be manufactured on a large scale through related machinery and equipment. The manufactured polymer composite materials will be stacked and pressed with a variety of materials, and then 'sewn' according to the relevant demand drawings.

The whole process can be completely streamlined, so this naturally saves a lot of time. Because it is an assembly line production, the cost is naturally greatly reduced.

Then there are the related launch and transportation costs. We use the Jianmu-5 or Jianmu-7 rockets as the main transportation body. Part of the rocket body of these two types of rockets has the ability to be recycled and reused, so it can also Greatly reduce launch costs, thereby reducing the construction cost of the entire space station. "

According to what you said, I think this inflatable inflatable space capsule can be used in the expansion of our Tiangong Space Station. Zou Huanyi turned to Qin Xinghe and said with a smile.

Qin Xinghe smiled and nodded and said: "In fact, when the inflatable inflatable space experimental capsule 'Oasis' they built was launched into space for experiments, we were paying close attention. Several members of this experimental capsule During the lunar on-orbit experiment phase, we are also paying close attention and requesting relevant data from them.

After relevant research and discussion, we believe that this inflatable inflatable space capsule is still very suitable for our space station expansion project. And related research topics have been launched, and several research institutes have also produced preliminary research results.

However, looking at it today, I found that their (Haoyu Technology) strength in this area cannot be underestimated, and they have their own related core technologies.

We didn't know much about them before, but we didn't expect this kid to have such great ambitions. Now that I know it, I definitely can't let them go.

After we returned, we held a meeting to study how to bring private aerospace companies into this project as one of the bidders.

Soon, what we require is to hold a project bidding meeting in March next year, so this matter must be implemented as soon as possible. "

Speaking of this, Qin Xinghe turned around and looked at Wu Hao and said seriously: "This opportunity is very precious, and there is not much time left for you. After this matter is implemented, the relevant request mediation data will be sent to You guys, you should hurry up and get ready.

I believe you should also know in your heart that as a private enterprise participating in the bidding of such a major project, unless you can show an overwhelming advantage and come up with something that everyone can convince, only then can you win This project, otherwise..."
