In fact, Wu Hao was also worried about this. Although they knew that the country now actively supports and encourages the private aerospace field, they were still a little undecided about what to do.
Therefore, before the aerospace project was carried out, Wu Hao specifically asked relevant leaders about this issue and even visited the aerospace department.
The answers they all received were the same, which was to let them do it with confidence and boldness. As long as it doesn't go out of line or break the law, the state will definitely support it.
Because of this, Wu Hao felt relieved and started their aerospace project.
In fact, throughout the development process of the aerospace project, Wu Hao and the others received strong support and help from the aerospace department.
This help and support not only provides great support in terms of funds and policies, but also in the development of some technologies and projects.
It is precisely because of so much support that their project has developed so quickly.
After the successful launch of the first rocket and the successful launch of the first retractable rocket, they received strong praise from the leaders of the aerospace department.
The success of two consecutive rocket launches ten days apart this time, as well as the successful recovery of the fairing, even caused the relevant leaders to personally call to congratulate.
In their words, if you develop boldly, they will be there behind you. Efforts will be made to develop Haoyu Aerospace into a private aerospace enterprise like the American SpX Company.
And the relevant leaders also promised them that in view of their excellent performance, they will be given greater support in the next step.
In addition to relevant policies and transfer support funds, it will also win more aerospace payload orders for them.
In addition to conventional satellite payloads, they will be actively encouraged and supported to develop a variety of aerospace payloads.
Such as experimental spacecraft, space station equipment, and even Tianzhou cargo spacecraft, etc. The premise is that Wu Hao and the others can have the ability to launch these spacecraft, space equipment and Tianzhou cargo spacecraft.
Take the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft as an example. It has a total length of more than 9 meters, a maximum diameter of 3.35 meters, a mass of 13 tons, and a maximum uplink cargo carrying capacity of 6 tons.
If they want to launch this big guy into space, that is to say, they must need a rocket load transport capacity of at least thirteen tons.
Now their Jianmu-2 improved rocket has a maximum launch payload of just over six tons, which is still far behind the launch of the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft.
This is both affirmation and motivation. Now there is such a good opportunity and such a big order in front of you. If you want to seize it, you have to work hard.
Of course, for the aerospace department, this will also help reduce the cost of maintaining the space station.
Whether in the construction phase or the operation phase of the space station, a large amount of equipment, components, and supplies are required.
In fact, the cost of these equipment, components and materials is not particularly high. What is really high is the cost of rocket launch.
Take the cost of a single launch of the Tianzhou spacecraft. Materials plus spacecraft can account for half of the cost. Rocket launch can account for more than half of the cost.
If the rocket launch price can be reduced, it will greatly save the cost of each material transportation, thereby reducing the operating expenses of the space station.
Although the country's investment in the aerospace field has been increasing in recent years, there are many places where the money cannot be spent. Various satellites? Space stations? Moon exploration, Mars exploration, solar exploration, outer space exploration, etc.? They are all waiting for rice to come to the pot.
So how much money can be saved? Judging from the freight supply once every three months, four supplies are needed a year, which all add up to a considerable expense.
So now the aerospace department is also very eager to find cheaper launch vehicles, and the strong rise of Haoyu Technology naturally gives them hope.
Of course? For aerospace state-owned enterprises, this is naturally not good news. But that's it? They can only work harder to maintain their absolute advantage in this field.
But Wu Hao and the others have an advantage that these state-owned aerospace companies cannot match. That is, they have no official background and are therefore more suitable for some international space missions.
Moreover, Wu Hao and the others have insisted on adopting a business model from the beginning, so their rocket launch costs are lower and more flexible, which is something that these aerospace companies cannot match.
Of course, this is also Wu Hao's disadvantage. In terms of comprehensive competitiveness, they definitely cannot compare with these giants.
But having said that, the development directions and responsibilities and missions of both parties are different. Relatively speaking, Wu Hao and others do not have too many burdens. They focus on commercial aerospace and follow the market path. At this point, these state-owned aerospace companies have much heavier responsibilities and missions. "
I chatted with Xiao Ma for about half an hour. The two sides talked a lot about the aerospace field.
At present, Penguin has just entered the aerospace field, so it may take a long time to develop in-depth cooperation.
Moreover, Wu Hao would not think that with Yi Penguin's consistent style, the two of them could get along happily for a long time and achieve win-win cooperation.
Therefore, Wu Hao still had to make some preparations for the penguin's entry. First of all, we must take precautions to prevent penguins from poaching from them. They, or major companies, often do this kind of thing, especially now that the development of 'Haoyu Aerospace' is booming, and all parties are staring at it like wolves with red eyes.
Especially the experts and technicians on their rocket team, which are a hot commodity for many companies and giants who want to get involved in this field.
In addition to the aerospace field, Wu Hao and Xiao Ma talked about many things. For example, they jointly participated in the photolithography machine research and development and chip manufacturing projects.
At present, this project has taken root and is progressing smoothly in all aspects. It is expected that the results will be available in the fall of a few years at the earliest.
As one of the companies with the largest shareholdings, they do have a lot to work with. For example, limiting a's right to speak in this regard, and jointly agreeing on some things, etc.
For Penguin, their biggest competitor is actually A-Li, followed by Haoyu Technology.
As an old rival and a company that jointly entered the chip industry, Penguin naturally wants to limit A's influence in this. Therefore, it needs to find several strong allies, and among them, Wu Hao and the others are the ones he wants to win over the most.
Wu Hao naturally knew this, and also knew about the overt and covert struggle between Penguin and A Li. But he didn't want to get involved in this. And Wu Hao also wants to weaken Penguin's influence here, so everyone has their own plans.
In fact, Wu Hao was thinking, I am afraid that Xiao Ma and Lao Ma have also had private exchanges in this regard, so that they can jointly weaken Wu Hao's influence here.
