Military Technology

"Then when do you think we humans will be able to truly leave the earth and soar in the solar system?" Jiang Nan asked him.

"Haven't we stepped out of the earth now?"

Wu Hao said something with a smile, then thought for a while, and then said: "I think it should be very fast according to the current development speed. The launch vehicle technology is becoming more mature and reliable, the cost is getting lower and lower, and the market is getting more and more popular. hotter.

This will greatly attract a huge amount of capital and resources to this field, and will also catalyze and accelerate the development of human space technology.

Now various aerospace companies in various countries have their own ambitious space development plans. I think the next 20 to 30 years will be a stage where space projects will explode.

In this regard, I think we can actually refer to the birth of other new technologies, such as airplanes and computers. It has not been too long since they were just born. "

Jiang Nan nodded after hearing his answer, then looked at the manuscript in his hand, and then asked him: "Nowadays, many sci-fi movies have some plots and content involving space, such as the moon or Mars immigration, or There are alien invasions and more.

Let me tell you something, let me talk about space immigration first, what do you think? "

Wu Hao took a sip of water, then shook his head and said, "I'm actually not optimistic about this project or idea. In the next two to three hundred years, there should be no conditions for large-scale migration to alien planets, even Mars or the moon, which are so close to us. .”

"why?"

Wu Hao shook his head and said, "Cost, cost determines everything.

First of all, we need to figure out why we want to immigrate people to those desolate, barren alien planets. What good are these alien planets?

Secondly, even if we have the ability to transport humans to these alien planets on a large scale, how can these humans survive.

Finally, why do we leave such a good earth uninhabited, and choose those desolate and lifeless planets paranoidly?

Therefore, I don't think this will happen in the past two to three hundred years, even if there are some technology-applied immigrants.

For example, an alien base similar to the Antarctic scientific research station, or an "outer space station" for temporary repairs by space operation technicians. "

"Outer space station,

Very interesting title. "Jiang Nan laughed.

Wu Hao said with a smile: "It's like the temporary repair and supply points prepared for miners or crews. They are set up on some space routes or asteroids for the passing spacecraft and astronauts to repair and replenish.

Of course, there may also be 'small towns' with a large number of people.

But this kind of life is not necessarily good. For them who are wandering outside, the earth is their home. "

"You are right, the earth is our home." Jiang Nan nodded with a smile, and then continued to ask: "What about aliens, will we be invaded and attacked by aliens? It's like Like the plots in the recently hit "Three-Body Problem", the aliens directly wiped out our earth."

Hahahaha... Wu Hao laughed lightly, then waved his hand.

"These are film and television dramas and, as I said earlier, we humans use our narrow minds to imagine unknown targets, such as robots and aliens.

Just ask a civilization capable of long-distance space travel, how many years ahead of us in cognition, and how can it be as barbaric as us.

Even if this kind of aliens really want to destroy us, do you think we can really fight against the civilization of the space age with our current strength.

So I don't think there is any need to think about this issue, let alone worry, because this is simply unfounded worry. How can we bear the collapse of innocence. "

"Of course, you don't have to panic too much. We currently know that there are more than 100 billion stars in the universe, and there are not many planets with life in these stars. The solar system where our earth is located is just relatively remote or even in the entire Milky Way. In a relatively desolate place, no one's attention can be attracted at all.

As for our Milky Way, it is the same, and it is also in a relatively desolate place in the entire universe. So finding us is as difficult as finding a needle in the ocean. "

Hehehehe, Jiang Nan smiled and said: "It's too far away, let's talk about something closer. Tell me about your plan for the past two years, when will you officially launch the first commercial launch vehicle, I think everyone will compare Care about that."

If all goes well, it should be this summer or fall, when we will launch the first commercial launch vehicle with an official payload.

"Is it so fast? I heard that it is very troublesome from the development and manufacture of a rocket to the launch. Did you guys get everything done so quickly?" Jiang Nan asked in surprise.

Wu Hao said with a smile: "We have a mature and strong R\u0026D team, and these people have done related research work before joining us, which saves us a lot of time.

Secondly, in fact, rocket technology is not complicated or mysterious, it is nothing more than making it fly, which is easy to achieve.

And its real difficulty lies in the carrying weight, reliability and cost. This is the technical field that we will focus on researching and conquering now and in the future. "

"Well, let us look forward to your company's first commercial launch vehicle launch, and wish it success." Jiang Nan laughed.

"thanks!"

Jiang Nan flipped through the manuscript, and then said to Wu Hao, "I'm sure you're tired after talking so much, let's have a lighter chat and end today's interview."

Seeing Wu Hao nodding, Jiang Nan asked with a smile, "Talk about your life, what are your hobbies, and what is your life like outside of work.

For your life, everyone is full of interest. "

Wu Hao thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Actually, I have many hobbies, such as music, movies, and reading books. Many of my inspirations actually come from these movies and movies.

Secondly, I usually do some exercise and fitness, such as jogging, or practicing boxing with my driver. Another thing is to find a sunny afternoon and go fishing or something.

Finally, there is food, which may be the most familiar to the outside world, and it is also the most complained about by everyone. Yes, I am a foodie. "

Hearing his words, not only Jiang Nan, but everyone in the cabin laughed lightly.

"Usually at home, I will cook some meals and share them with family and friends."

"How's the craftsmanship?" Jiang Nan interjected.

Wu Hao shook his head and said: "It can only be the kind that can be sold, and it can be said to be quite delicious, but it can also be eaten."

"It's too modest. I saw Miss Lin's updated Weibo, and your craftsmanship is great." Jiang Nan praised.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile and said, "She has added filters to beautify those food photos, but they are actually not that pretty."
