Military Technology

“After completing the initial acceleration process, the first-stage propulsion rocket began to break away, and then the second-stage propulsion system, that is, the Hall ion thruster of the propulsion system began to work and continued to accelerate the deep space probe.

In addition, we are also equipped with two emergency chemical thrusters on the second half of the truss support rod. These two thrusters are used in emergencies, or when entering or leaving a star with a large gravity. In this way, it can also help this deep space probe to get close to some massive stars for detection.

On the truss support rods of this deep space probe, we are equipped with multiple auxiliary detection equipment, among which we have prepared ten small detection satellites for it.

Each of these small detection satellites weighs about 80 kilograms, and the total weight is less than one ton. These small detection satellites can be used to detect places that our deep space detectors cannot reach, such as the orbits of some large planets, as well as to detect some asteroids, dwarf planets, including some large planets. satellites, etc.

After the deep space probe is brought to the vicinity of the corresponding target, a small detection satellite will be released. This small detection satellite will approach the target, and then continuously transmit the signal back to the deep space detector, and then transmit it back to the earth by the large antenna of the deep space detector.

Of course, this small detection satellite can also rely on its own communication antenna to establish direct communication with the earth. Of course, the transmission efficiency is definitely not as good as the large antenna on the deep space probe.

Based on this function, we have developed another new communication method, the relay communication method, which is to release one of these small detection satellites at a certain distance, and then transmit relevant data information through relay communication.

In the future, deep space detectors will definitely go very far. How to solve the problem of long-distance communication is also a difficult problem, so we can use this relay communication method to get in touch with deep space detectors far away from the earth. This It can also greatly expand the detection range of this deep space probe and contribute to human understanding of the universe and exploration of the unknown. "

After hearing this genius design introduced by Wu Hao, everyone present cheered. Such an idea and design are indeed very clever. It can be said that it has tapped out all the potential of this deep space probe.

This also makes everyone look forward to this deep space probe. If such a project can succeed, it will definitely be able to obtain very rich and massive detection data for them, which will be of great significance to their study of the solar system, the universe, and other stars. help.

So after hearing this, everyone started talking, and some experts asked him eagerly: "Mr. Wu, have you developed your deep space probe? When do you plan to launch it?"

Seeing someone asking this question, the noise at the scene stopped immediately, and everyone looked at Wu Hao, waiting for his answer.

Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "This is just an internal design plan of ours, and the relevant technologies are still under pre-research. Everyone knows that such a detection project currently has no market benefits. , so our internal project review committee could not pass it.

In addition, the investment in such projects is relatively large. Currently, we have too many projects in progress and are unable to expand other projects. Deep space probes like this can only be carried out in the future when we have the ability and the conditions are mature.

Finally, there are issues related to related technologies. This deep space probe contains many new technologies, and we need to overcome them one by one.

In addition, such a large deep space probe must have a matching rocket to launch it and send it out of the earth. At present, the high-orbit transportation capability of our Jianmu-7 rocket is still somewhat insufficient, so even if this deep space probe is developed, it will not be launched until our Jianmu-9 heavy-duty launch vehicle is successfully developed. "

Jianmu No. 9? Everyone was confused for a moment.

Haha, a strap-on heavy-duty launch vehicle developed by our institute is in the exhibition area over there. I will introduce it to you in a moment. Wu Hao replied with a smile.

Everyone glanced in the direction he indicated, and then focused their attention on the deep space probe model hanging in mid-air.

The meaning of Wu Hao's words is actually very clear, that is, he has no money. Everyone is naturally aware of Wu Hao's plan. By placing it in this exhibition hall and grandly introducing this deep space probe to everyone, it can be said that Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone.

However, as a private enterprise, they do not find it strange that they have such a sense of market competition, let alone that there is anything wrong with it. Moreover, everyone is also full of interest in this deep space probe.

Even if Wu Hao didn't talk about it before, I'm afraid there will be experts who won't let go. This is Wu Hao's conspiracy. Everyone knows that this is his plan, but they are still willing to get into it.

From a design and technical point of view, this deep space probe is definitely one of the best among all the deep space probe designs that we have seen, and has impressed the hearts of countless experts.

It's like a boy sees a sports car, a man sees a gun, and a woman sees cosmetics and clothes. It’s like seeing a beautiful woman in cool clothes.

For this group of experts, nothing is more attractive to them at the moment than this deep space probe.

Immediately, some experts asked Wu Hao anxiously: "How much does it cost to develop and launch this deep space probe? If the difference is not much, we scientific research institutes can make up the difference."

What I want is your words. Wu Hao felt happy, and then replied with a smile: "This deep space probe uses a series of new technologies, and the cost of one-time development is relatively high. How much development funding is needed? We don’t know yet, but our experts have given us a number. I’m afraid that the development of this deep space probe will cost at least one billion. How much more it will take is still uncertain.”

hiss……

After hearing this quotation, everyone at the scene couldn't help but take a breath. This is definitely a big number and a big project. You must know that the country does not allocate much funding to the aerospace system every year. This is allocated to many institutions and research institutes for many major projects.

For now, I'm afraid they won't be able to support such a project. But this project was indeed very good, so it was a pity that it was abandoned like this.

While everyone was frowning and lowering their heads in thought, an expert suddenly said: "By the way, I remember that there are several deep space exploration projects in our aerospace system. Can we combine several projects together?" Will the funds be enough soon?"
