After introducing these, Wu Hao then pointed to the picture on the big screen and smiled at everyone: "This is the internal situation of our inflatable and expandable space experimental capsule. After nearly three months of growth, the things inside The space farm is already full of greenery.
You can take a look, this is wheat, this is rice, this is corn, and this is potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Look, the potatoes and sweet potatoes here are growing very well. "
Everyone present couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the round potatoes and sweet potatoes growing under the potato and sweet potato seedlings.
"Why are these potatoes and sweet potatoes different from what we have seen? Are they new varieties?" One of the female customers couldn't help but become curious.
Haha, Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "No, they are just ordinary potatoes and sweet potatoes. However, because in space, these potatoes and sweet potatoes grow in a gravity-free or micro-gravity environment. There is no gravity. influence, so its fruits are naturally more mellow.”
Having said this, Wu Hao took the controller and switched the screen and said: "Look, everyone, these are the tomatoes we cultivated. They are still very round. These tomatoes are ready to be harvested.
This cucumber here has lost the influence of gravity, so it grows very differently from what we see on the ground. "
"Wu, my dear friend, can you bring these fruits back when the time comes? I wonder how the fruits and grains grown in space taste like? You can sell me some, money is not a problem." Prince Maiha couldn't help but swallow Swallowed his saliva, then said with a smile.
Ha ha ha ha……
After hearing Prince Maiha's words, everyone present laughed heartily.
Everyone had this idea, but Prince Michael was the first to say it.
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid that's not possible for the time being. After all, if we have to make a special trip to bring these fruits and grains back, the cost will be too high.
However, our second inflatable and expandable space experiment capsule will be launched soon, when it will experimentally dock with our unmanned experimental spacecraft.
At that time, we will transfer some of the fruits and vegetables grown on the space farm in the inflatable and expandable space experimental cabin to the spacecraft and then bring them back.
Of course, the quantity is limited and we cannot sell it externally. We can only use it for some scientific research experiments.
As for the fruits and food in this inflatable and expandable space experiment capsule, they may eventually fall into the atmosphere and be burned as the space experiment capsule falls. "
"Oh, that's such a pity." Not only Prince Michael, but everyone else present showed a look of pity.
When Wu Hao saw this, he immediately smiled and waved his hands and said: "Don't feel sorry for everyone, although we can't taste it, some people will probably taste it.
We are actively promoting the experimental docking of this inflatable and expandable space experimental capsule with our space station. If the docking is successful, the astronauts in the space station may be able to enjoy these delicacies.
And we will also ask astronauts to help us collect a batch of seeds produced from these grains, and then bring them back to Earth with the rotating astronauts. "
Of course, this is only possible, and Wu Hao is still not sure whether their application will be approved. From the firm attitude of the aerospace department at the beginning, to the later relaxation, and then to the current ambiguity, they cannot guarantee it.
Judging from what Wu Hao knows, the opinions within the relevant leaders and expert groups are not unified. There are those who support it and those who oppose it.
Opponents believe that this is a civilian self-developed experimental spacecraft after all, and it also has an inflatable and expandable space experimental capsule, with unknown risks and reliability.
Once danger occurs during docking with the space station, the safety of the space station will be jeopardized. Therefore, to be on the safe side, docking is not allowed yet.
Those who agree believe that this inflatable and expandable space experimental capsule has been operating in orbit for several months, and its stable performance, reliability and safety have been verified. If this is the case, then why can't it be docked?
If connected, on the one hand, it will be able to positively promote the domestic civil aerospace industry and encourage the development of the civil aerospace industry.
On the other hand, Wu Hao's inflatable and expandable space experimental capsule was equipped with a lot of instruments and equipment this time. If these experimental projects can be connected and obtained, they will also bring huge economic and scientific benefits.
So until now, the above opinions have not been unified.
After hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone present couldn't help but nodded slightly. That's okay, after all, someone has tasted it for them.
"Wu, my friend, have you started recruiting astronauts now?" General Abu asked.
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head: "No, we don't have an astronaut training plan in this area yet.
The cost of training a qualified astronaut is too high. As a commercial company, we must consider issues from a business and market perspective. "
It is really too expensive to train an astronaut. If an excellent pilot is built with gold, then a qualified astronaut should have the same weight of gold and add many diamonds and jewelry.
There are six to seven billion people in the world, but there are only a few astronauts from all countries combined, and only a few of them have actually gone into space.
This can be said to be one of the most favored people in the world. Their value cannot even be measured in terms of money.
"So how do we get our own astronauts to board your manned spacecraft and enter space?" General Abu asked again.
In the past two years, Saudi Arabia has proposed a series of ambitious development plans in the space field, including the idea and ambition of sending its own astronauts into space.
But, if you want to send domestic astronauts into space, it not only requires money, but also involves many things besides money.
So it has never been realized. This time when he heard Wu Hao's introduction, General Abu's fiery heart beat again.
Wu Hao was actually not surprised that General Abu could ask such a question. And it can be said that he is just waiting for General Abu and this bunch of big dogs to speak.
So when the other party spoke, Wu Hao smiled and said: "Currently, there are two ways. One is official contact, and the other is commercial space tourism projects carried out as ordinary private tourists."
"Is there any difference between these two methods?" Old Suha suddenly interjected. It can be seen that he is also very interested in this matter.
Wu Hao glanced at Old Su Ha, smiled and nodded: "Of course there is a difference, and the difference is huge."
