Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "Aerospace technology is constantly moving forward, and with the continuous application of new technologies, lunar mining is not impossible in the future.
And compared with the earth, lunar mining has its unique advantages. "
Advantage?
Everyone present couldn't help but wonder.
Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "Yes, it is an advantage. Compared with the earth, the biggest advantage of mining on the moon is that the moon's gravity is relatively small, so we can transport these resources to space at ultra-low cost. Come in.
So since we spend so much money to launch tens or hundreds of tons of things into space, why not directly use the resources in space.
In this way, we can build larger space stations, spacecraft, exploration spacecraft, and even some satellites in space.
We can completely transport relevant parts and components from the earth and then manufacture these products in space. As a result, its manufacturing and launch costs will be significantly reduced, which will help us utilize space resources on a large scale and benefit people around the world.
In addition, for us, whether it is a space station, a spacecraft, a scientific research station on the moon, or even the construction of settlements, a large amount of capital investment is required.
Rather than spending a lot of money to transport it from the earth, it is better to use local materials and supply them from the moon.
Then we can sell related resources to these countries, which will help them save relevant capital investment and speed up the construction progress. On the other hand, it can also bring us very considerable benefits. "
At this point, Wu Hao stopped. Feeling his mouth was dry, he took the pure water from the hands of the staff behind him. While unscrewing it, he said to everyone: "In addition, for everyone, for this intelligent lunar patrol rover lunar exploration project, we will provide 20 kilograms of payload free of charge to all countries in the world to help relevant countries carry out some lunar exploration projects. detection project.
We will solicit design proposals for the twenty-kilogram payload from around the world and select suitable ones for cooperation. "
After hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone present suddenly became excited.
Prince Maiha was the first to say hurriedly to Wu Hao: "Wu, I think we will have very extensive and in-depth cooperation in lunar exploration and space exploration projects.
We are very willing to cooperate with you in this field and to fund your related space exploration projects. "
Thank you, thank you very much. Wu Hao nodded and smiled.
General Abu, who was standing next to him, was not to be outdone and said: "We attach great importance to space exploration projects and have also established the King's Fund for space exploration, aiming to develop space exploration projects that are beneficial to all mankind.
So, my dear friend, I believe our cooperation in this regard will be very pleasant. "
Wu Hao smiled and nodded when he heard this: "Of course, I'm looking forward to it very much."
The old Su Ha at the end did not follow the conversation, but looked at the manned spacecraft next to him and said to Wu Hao: "Wu, please introduce to us your manned space program. I am very interested in it." .”
"Okay, everyone, please come over here." Wu Hao brought everyone to the manned spacecraft model next to him and introduced it to everyone.
"This is our manned spacecraft, and it will also be our first commercial manned spacecraft in Asia. Its main task is to launch commercial manned spacecraft, sending astronauts into space.
Of course, in the future we will also open it to ordinary tourists and transport more tourists to space to experience a space journey. "
Are there any requirements for tourists in this space tourism? Prince Maiha showed great interest.
Wu Hao shook his head: "There are no big requirements. On the one hand, you must have a little financial foundation and be able to pay for the ticket to space.
Of course, this will be fine for you.
On the other hand, our tourists are required to be in good health.
Our commercial manned spacecraft is very technologically advanced and does not require our tourists to have the same physical fitness as astronauts.
Tourists will only be asked not to have any serious illnesses that may affect their own health. After all, this is going to space. It doesn’t mean that it can stop just because we ask it to stop. "
Hehehehe...
Everyone at the scene chuckled after hearing his words.
Wu Hao is right, indeed, space launches do not just stop. You can't say that because you have a problem, you can stop the rocket that has been launched in mid-air. This is definitely not possible.
When will this manned aircraft be able to carry out manned flights? Old Suha asked Wu Hao while looking at the appearance of the manned spacecraft.
Wu Hao thought for a while and then replied: "If everything goes well, we will conduct the first manned launch mission in the year after tomorrow, that is, in 2026.
We will launch the first unmanned experimental spacecraft next spring. If everything goes well, we will launch two more unmanned experimental spacecraft next summer and next winter.
Among them, during the unmanned experimental spacecraft launch next winter, we will try to dock with our country's space station and deliver a batch of living experimental materials to the space station.
If these three unmanned experimental spacecraft missions are a complete success, then we will launch the first manned spacecraft in the summer of the next year.
In addition, we will also try to dock these three unmanned experimental spacecraft with our inflatable and expandable spacecraft to carry out a series of experiments and test tasks. "
Having said this, Wu Hao led everyone to the inflatable expandable spacecraft model, and then continued talking.
"In the future, we will plan to build the world's first commercial space station based on inflatable and expandable spacecraft. After the construction of this commercial space station is completed, it will be open to countries around the world and attract related aerospace projects from countries around the world. Crew members and scientists went to this commercial space station to conduct a series of scientific experiments.
Moreover, we will also open it to tourists from all over the world and attract tourists to travel and live in the space station. By then, we will also build the world's first officially operational space hotel, allowing tourists to live in space for a longer period of time. "
General Abu on the side looked at the inflatable and expandable spacecraft model and asked: "Is this inflatable and expandable spacecraft really reliable?"
Of course. Wu Hao smiled and said confidently: "Many people will think that it is not strong enough or reliable enough when they first look at it, but in fact it is very easy to explain.
Our first inflatable and expandable test spacecraft has been launched for several months, and it is still operating normally in space orbit without any problems. "
