After listening to Yu Chengwu's introduction, Wu Hao nodded, and then asked: "Can the first stage catch up with the launch mission in March?" It should be possible, no big problem. Yu Chengwu said confidently.
That's good. Wu Hao nodded with a satisfied look. You know, ever since he promised at his alma mater that he would send a total of 10 kilograms of rocket transport payload for free, the teachers and students of HKUST became very excited, setting off a wave of craze.
Through the joint efforts of the team's teachers and students, a ten-kilogram experimental satellite they developed has been successfully developed and manufactured. After completing the team's self-inspection procedures, the satellite will be sent to the launch site for relevant tests.
After passing the belt test, the satellite will be loaded into the rocket's payload compartment and await the final launch.
At the same time, many companies, universities and scientific research institutes have approached them, hoping to cooperate.
Therefore, on this rocket in March, a large satellite weighing more than one ton will be launched. At the same time, there will be four small satellites launched at the same time as this large satellite.
Therefore, this launch mission is also very difficult, and the launch date is very close, so Wu Hao asked this question.
After hearing Yu Chengwu's report, Wu Hao nodded and said: "As for the project itself, I will not interfere. It is entirely up to you to make the decision. My only request is to work steadily and use every penny."
You can rest assured that everyone is in very high spirits right now, and we are confident that we will complete the relevant scientific research tasks within the prescribed time limit. Yu Chengwu promised him.
Wu Hao, on the other hand, was not happy, but shook his head and said: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself and everyone else, just move forward steadily.
I will return to Anxi this afternoon, and I will leave the aerospace project to you. If you have any questions, please communicate with me in time and I will support you to the greatest extent. "
Thank you Mr. Wu, I will definitely lead the team well. Yu Chengwu nodded in response.
That's good! Wu Hao said with a smile.
During the conversation, the landing gear of the rocket's first-stage rocket body had been folded and stowed by technicians, and then the rocket's first-stage rocket body was hoisted by a crane onto a professional multi-wheel transport vehicle.
Of course, there are some differences between this multi-wheeled transport vehicle and the multi-wheeled transport vehicle used by ballistic missiles. The multi-wheel transport vehicles used here are mostly used in areas such as docks and shipyards where large overweight structures need to be transported.
Although it is just a multi-wheel transport vehicle, the price is very high. This vehicle alone is worth more than 10 million. Whether in terms of price or performance, it instantly kills all the current cool sports cars.
After fixing the rocket body, the multi-wheel transport vehicle began to move towards the base. In order to ensure the safety of the rocket body, the speed of the vehicle is not very fast, which is about the same speed as a person walking quickly.
Therefore, during the driving process of the vehicle, many technicians are directly involved in the vehicle and surround the multi-wheel transport vehicle.
For them, this is the fruit of their hard work, so why not treasure it.
Although the landing site is not far from the base, only a few kilometers, the transport vehicle traveled for more than an hour.
Of course it was impossible for Wu Hao to follow all the way, so he immediately left after the vehicle moved. The time at the base was limited, and he didn't want to waste it on such meaningless activities.
So after bidding farewell to Yu Chengwu and the others, Wu Hao returned to the base first, and then came to the Aviation Technology and UAV Research Institute next to the airport.
The person who came to greet him was Lin Jiaming, an old acquaintance of Wu Hao and one of the leaders of the unmanned aircraft and drone projects working at the base during this period.
Mr. Wu, if you don't come here, our drone may take off. Zhou Xiangming joked casually at Wu Hao.
Haha, sorry, I wasted some time at the landing site. Let's get started. Don't let my reasons affect the normal and orderly progress of related experiments and work.
It's okay, everyone is waiting for you. Lin Jiaming replied with a smile, then picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "The boss is here, let the drone fly!"
Understood, the boss is welcome to come and inspect! A voice from the tower came over the intercom.
boom!
The three Fuji intelligent attack drones parked on the apron started their engines and then slowly headed towards the runway.
Three drones took off on the runway one after another, and soon formed an arrow-shaped echelon in the sky.
Mr. Wu, there's nothing to see outside. It's better to go back to the command and control center. It's more intuitive and warmer. Lin Jiaming sniffed and said.
Hahahaha, I think you are wearing too little. Wu Hao joked, then walked to the command and control center and asked Lin Jiaming, who was accompanying him next to him: "What projects are there today?"
Lin Jiaming introduced with a smile: “The focus of work these days is the same, which is the test flight and training content of autonomous flight of drones and autonomous combat technology.
The two Fuji smart attack drones will be controlled in real time by our own pilots and used to fight against the independently flying Fuji smart attack drone.
If you want the drone to have autonomous flight and autonomous combat capabilities, this requires the support of a huge data system. In addition, two senior pilots can remotely pilot the drone and be free from human control, with autonomous flight, autonomous combat, and autonomous logical data. Analytical capabilities of drones for aerial confrontation.
A few months ago, no one would have believed that such a result would be possible, but now it has become a reality, and it is still a one versus two situation. "
How is the project going? Wu Hao then asked.
Lin Jianming nodded and replied: "The entire project is currently progressing relatively smoothly, and the drone's self-flight and autonomous combat capabilities have been greatly improved.
Basically, it can now compete head-on with our two senior pilots, and win or lose.
In the next step, we will communicate with the Air Force and introduce Air Force fighters to engage in head-on confrontation with UAVs to further train and optimize the entire unmanned combat system. "
What's the difficulty? Wu Hao then asked. What he wanted to see was not the high-sounding data and reports, but also the truth behind these events.
Seeing Wu Hao ask this, Lin Jiaming smiled and said: "There are real difficulties, mainly in terms of data. The data that the military can disclose to us is very limited. It is seriously insufficient for the training of our unmanned autonomous combat system and affects the entire military." Project progress.
Secondly, regarding cooperation with the military, we still hope that Mr. Wu can come forward to communicate more. For some things, people only recognize you, and we are not qualified. "
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this and said: "Okay, I will go back and communicate more with the leaders of the Air Force to try to get greater authority for you.
