"What I'm talking about here is the fastest speed under ideal conditions. The sky and the earth are separated by hundreds of kilometers. If you want to build a hundreds of kilometers of elevator, this difficulty is several times more difficult than repairing a dam in the Pacific Ocean.

What can be achieved in the past 100 years, I am like the "Starship" project similar to Musk. Of course, Musk's kind is just a prototype. The real interstellar spacecraft is more advanced and larger, and can take hundreds or even hundreds of passengers at once, just like our civil airliners.

Of course, compared to this kind of "interstellar spacecraft", I am actually more optimistic about aerospace planes. "

Aeroplane? Susie couldn't help but become interested.

Wu Hao nodded: "Yes, it's an aerospace plane. As the name suggests, it's a kind of aircraft that can fly in the atmosphere and in space.

It can be seen as a combination of our civil aviation airliner and space shuttle technology, which can fly in our atmosphere like a civil airliner, or fly in space like a space shuttle. "

What you said is too science fiction, can it be realized? Susie couldn't help exclaiming.

Of course it can. Wu Hao smiled and replied: "In fact, the principle is quite simple. It first taxis off the airport runway like a passenger plane and then flies to a certain height. The rocket engine on the plane ignites, and then it continues to propel the plane into space.

And use the rocket engine on the plane, or more advanced particle retreat machine to push the aerospace plane to fly in space.

When it's time to land, first use the rocket to fly into the atmosphere, and then start the turbofan engine to achieve flight and landing in the atmosphere.

In this way, we can completely eliminate the current launch vehicles and directly use this aerospace aircraft to enter and exit space. In addition, this aerospace plane can be used repeatedly for a long time like an ordinary passenger plane, so that the price of a single ticket will not be so expensive.

At that time, your ticket to space may not be much more expensive than an intercontinental ticket. "

Do you think this technology can be realized within a hundred years? Susie couldn't help but asked Wu Hao.

As for Wu Hao, he nodded earnestly and said: "In fact, companies and many aerospace organizations have begun to conduct research in this area. I think this technology will not be too far away from us.

However, it will take a long time for it to be used on a large scale, especially for civilian use.

After all, we are not just in need to go to space, so it is difficult to open it to the civilian market in a short time, and it is also difficult to popularize and expand. "

Hearing what he said, Susie, and many others who were watching the live broadcast at the moment, nodded in agreement. Such advanced technologies, if they are developed, are generally first used in the military field.

In this way, it may take ten to twenty years or even longer to expand to civilian use.

Just to think about it, an aerospace plane like this can freely enter and exit the sky and achieve global flight, and its military strategic significance is evident.

If nothing else, it is said that the aerospace strategic bomber transformed from this kind of aerospace aircraft may become a new strategic deterrent weapon on the planet.

Because this kind of aerospace plane can fly to any corner of the earth in a short period of time for cruise deterrence, and even perform strike missions, which an aircraft carrier cannot do.

As a result, I am afraid that the aerospace strike fleet or aerospace strike force evolved from this type of aerospace aircraft will replace the aircraft carrier and become a new strategic deterrent weapon.

Just imagine, once a country has mastered such a technology, it will definitely be covered strictly, how can it be put into civilian use so easily? Isn't it overkill?

Susie nodded, then changed her direction, her professional acumen made her no longer entangled with this problem.

You have such a thorough understanding of this kind of aerospace aircraft, does your company also have related development plans?

Ha ha ha ha...

Hearing this question, Wu Hao couldn't help but smiled, then took a sip of coffee without rush, and then smiled.

"As a technology-based company, we are very interested in all advanced technologies, and this technology is no exception.

Of course, for us, interest is one aspect, but whether it can be achieved is another aspect. Obviously, with our current capabilities, it is still too early to talk about this. "

Of course it is too early, but Wu Hao has included the aerospace aircraft technology project as a long-term development goal in the aerospace field.

They have already begun to make technology and funds for the development of this advanced spacecraft, and they have accumulated talents.

As long as the time is right, they will officially start the research and development of this project.

Familiarly nodded, then looked at the transparent tablet he was holding for a while, and then smiled at Wu Hao and asked, "Netizens'Little Fish Little Little' said, this time you launched the'Oasis One Inflatable' Compared with the preparation of the space station, the inflatable space experiment module is more like preparing for your next exploration of the moon and Mars, and the establishment of permanent bases or permanent human settlements on Mars.

He would like to ask you whether you already have relevant plans in this regard, and can you talk about it. "

Wu Hao heard this question ~lightnovelpub.net~ and smiled. Then he nodded slowly and said, "Just as the mission launch was completed, the words we typed out on the big screen in the launch command and control hall.

Our journey is the sea of ​​stars!

This is the goal that we have always adhered to and advocated.

Exploring the universe and exploring extraterrestrial planets is also one of our dreams. We also hope that one day, a permanent and reliable base and permanent human settlement can be established on the moon and on Mars.

At that time, we can not only transport many scientists to the moon or even Mars for scientific experiments, but also transport some tourists to visit.

Even if you want, you can stay in this permanent settlement or research station for a period of time for a romantic space vacation or a newlywed honeymoon.

I believe this feeling of honeymooning on the moon or Mars will be unusual.

Of course, this is just an ideal of ours. Whether it can be realized is still unclear.

But just like all ideals or dreams, we all need to work hard for them. Only by working hard can success be possible.

If it's just a dream without putting in effort, then it will never succeed.

As a scientist with a technical background, I always believe that as long as we work hard, our dreams will always be realized.

If it is not achieved, then you have not worked hard enough.

Of course, there may be another reason, and that is that your dreams are too lofty. It's not a dream, but a daydream. Anyone knows this. "
