Chapter 1010 The rocket can still play like this

For doctoral students like them, the pressure of life is still very huge. Those who can be admitted to a doctorate are basically in their twenties and seventeen years old, and the average age is around 30 years old. For them, this age is the most difficult time in their lives, especially for them who are engaged in technology, and they are also talents in space rocket and satellite technology.

The development of domestic commercial aerospace is still relatively slow. After graduation, most of them basically go to public institutions, and their salaries are relatively small.

Of course, that was after I went there. Although there are certain subsidies and scholarships during my doctoral period, compared with many of them who are married, have children, and socialize in life, their life is still relatively cramped.

This time I encountered a free dinner, especially when it was so rich, so everyone couldn't help but feel a little bit out of control.

As for Chen Zhihong, he didn't care about the situation of his own students, so he stopped speaking out to persuade them.

Compared to the young man who devoured food, Chen Zhihong ate slowly. As for Wu Hao, he also accompanied him.

Xiao Wu, the purpose of our visit this time is mainly to observe your launch this time. It's a pity that I didn't come to witness your first receivable rocket launch and recovery process last time.

But this time is also very good, we have finally seen the whole picture of this ultra-low-cost launch vehicle with our own eyes.

Chen Zhihong wiped his mouth, and then said to Wu Hao: "In fact, we have been researching ultra-low-cost launch vehicles these years, but how to control the manufacturing cost of the rocket is a very complicated and difficult problem.

How to reduce the cost, it can only work hard on materials and technology. However, for high-risk products such as launch vehicles, the most stringent requirements are often materials and technologies.

So ah, this is a conflicting question. How to reduce the cost while ensuring the reliability of the launch vehicle is a difficult problem facing many rocket technology developers.

And obviously in this regard, you are ahead of everyone's future. "

Chen Zhihong praised him first, and then asked him, "What did you think at the beginning, and how did you balance the relationship between the two?"

Hearing Chen Zhihong asking questions, his accompanying doctoral students and other experts also stopped the rhythm of eating and began to listen carefully.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile when he heard the words: "Actually, I didn't think too much about it. When we set up the project, we just thought about how to save money.

On the one hand, we are a private enterprise without such strong financial support, so we must plan carefully and do the most with the least money.

On the other hand, since we want to engage in private aerospace, we must focus on the market. The products we develop must also have very strong market competitiveness.

So where is the market competitiveness of launch vehicles? Reliability, safety, carrying capacity, and one more, the most important thing is cost.

In fact, the difference between the first four is not too big, but the only thing that can widen the gap, and also the most affecting market competition, is the cost.

If we can control the R\u0026D and manufacturing costs of the rocket, it means that we can win the competition with similar products on the market at a very cheap payload launch price, thereby obtaining orders.

It is also along this line of thought that we started the development of two types of rockets.

So how to reduce the cost of rocket delivery, there are no more than three solutions. First of all, the first type, the large-load rocket, can transport more heavy loads, so that the average cost per kilogram of load will naturally be reduced. It's just that the carrying capacity has increased, and the cost of the rocket has naturally increased. Moreover, the technology of large payload rockets is relatively high, which is not suitable for us for the time being.

So we set the goal on the other two solutions. First, the first one reduces the manufacturing and launch costs of rockets. Anyway, conventional rockets are disposable and cannot be recycled. So why do we make rockets so well? Well, as long as it works.

To give a very simple example, the spraying on the rocket would cost more than 100,000 yuan if it is a normal spraying, but we only have this money left, although it is a bit ugly.

Of course, we can also sell the rocket body painting as an advertising space. For example, this time, we sold the rocket body painting to an e-commerce company for more than one million yuan. It is to recover part of the cost in advance. "

Hearing what Wu Hao said, Chen Zhihong, his doctoral students, and the rest couldn't help but widen their eyes, and their hearts were boiling like horses. There is a lot of complaints.

This rocket can still play like this, which is too stingy. Sure enough, there is still no business or no evil.

It is also in accordance with this idea that we can save as much as we can. Coupled with the new hybrid liquid fuel we use, the manufacturing and launch costs of its rocket are more than half cheaper than conventional rockets. In this way, we also have a powerful rocket. market competitiveness.

Well, I said, so many units and commercial companies are willing to hand over the order to you, so it is so much cheaper. Chen Zhihong suddenly realized, but then asked: "What about the safety and reliability of the rocket? How do you ensure reliability and safety while reducing costs like this?"

These two are not directly related to the cost of the rocket. There is a certain impact, but the impact is not as huge as we imagined. In fact, we are also very willing to use sufficient materials where we must.

With that said, Wu Hao took a sip of hot soup and said with a smile: "On the other hand, this is also related to our encouragement of innovation. We encourage everyone to be bold and innovative, whether it is researchers, manufacturing personnel, or employees of other companies. As long as Those who can put forward feasible suggestions, plans, inventions, and even ideas can get certain generous rewards according to the situation. From thousands to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

One of our veteran technicians in the manufacturing workshop has won nearly 10 million bonuses from the company by virtue of more than a dozen related processes and patented technologies, and we will pay him a certain usage fee every year.

With this bonus, he bought a villa in Anxi and set up his home, successfully jumping into the elite class.

There are many similar examples. Many young employees in the company have also received very generous remuneration for their innovative inventions.

So many employees are very rich. You can see that our company drives luxury cars and sports cars, not necessarily the company’s leaders, but probably most of them are employees. "
