"After completing the initial speed-up process, the first-stage propulsion rocket began to disengage, and then the second-stage propulsion system, that is, the Hall ion thruster of the propulsion system, started to work and continued to accelerate the deep space probe.

In addition, we are also equipped with two emergency chemical thrusters on the rear half of the truss support rods. These two thrusters are used for emergency situations, or when entering or leaving a large gravitational star. In this way, it can also help this deep space probe to approach some massive stars for detection.

On the truss support pole of this deep space probe, we have equipped a number of auxiliary detection equipment, among which we have prepared ten small detection satellites for it.

This kind of small detection satellite weighs about 80 kilograms each, and the total weight is less than one ton. These small detection satellites can be used for detection in some places that our deep space probes cannot reach, such as the orbits of some large planets, and to detect some asteroids, dwarf planets, including some large planets satellites etc.

After bringing this deep space probe to the vicinity of the corresponding target, a small detection satellite will be released. This small detection satellite will approach the target, and then continuously transmit the signal back to the deep space probe, and then send it back to the earth by the large antenna of the deep space probe.

Of course, this small detection satellite can also rely on its own communication antenna to establish communication with the earth directly. Of course, the transmission efficiency is definitely not as good as the large antenna on the deep space probe.

Based on this function, we have developed another new communication method, the relay communication method, that is, to release one of these small detection satellites at a certain distance, and then transmit relevant data information through relay communication.

In the future, deep space probes will definitely go very far. How to solve the problem of long-distance communication is also a difficult problem, so we can use this relay communication method to get in touch with deep space probes far away from the earth. Well, it can also greatly expand the detection distance of this deep space probe, and contribute to human beings' understanding of the universe and exploration of the unknown. "

Hearing the genius design introduced by Wu Hao, all the people present congratulated him. Such an idea, such a design is indeed very ingenious, and it can be said that it has hollowed out all the potential of this deep space probe.

This also makes everyone look forward to this deep space probe. If such a project can be successful, it will definitely be able to obtain a very rich and massive amount of detection data for them. This is of great importance for them to study the solar system, the universe, and other stars. help.

So upon hearing this, everyone started talking, and some experts asked him eagerly: "Mr. Wu, have you developed this deep space probe? When are you planning to launch it into space?"

Seeing someone ask this question, the noisy voices at the scene stopped immediately, and everyone looked at Wu Hao, waiting for his answer.

Wu Hao shook his head with a smile and said: "This is just an internal design plan of ours, and the related technologies are still in pre-research. Everyone knows that such a detection project has no market benefits at present. , so our internal project review committee could not pass it.

In addition, such a project requires a relatively large investment. Currently, we have too many projects in progress and are somewhat unable to expand other projects. Like this deep space probe, we can only wait until we have the ability in the future and the conditions are ripe.

Finally, there are related technical issues. This deep space probe contains many new technologies, all of which require us to overcome them one by one.

In addition, such a large deep space probe must have a matching rocket to be able to launch it and send it out of the earth. At present, the high-orbit transportation capacity of our Jianmu-7 rocket is still somewhat insufficient, so even if this deep space probe is developed, it will not be launched until our Jianmu-9 heavy-duty launch vehicle is successfully developed. "

Jianmu No. 9? Everyone was puzzled.

Hehe, we are developing a bundled heavy-duty launch vehicle. I will introduce it to you in the exhibition area over there. Wu Hao replied with a smile.

Everyone glanced in the direction he indicated, and then focused their attention on the model of the deep space probe hanging in mid-air.

The meaning of Wu Hao's words is actually very clear, that is, he has no money. Everyone is naturally aware of Wu Hao's intentions. Putting it in this exhibition hall and grandly introducing this deep space probe to everyone can be said to be Sima Zhaozhi's mind.

However, as a private enterprise, they don't find it strange that they can have such a sense of market competition, and they don't think it is anything. Moreover, everyone is also full of interest in this deep space probe.

Even if Wu Hao didn't talk about it before, I'm afraid there will be experts pestering him. This is Wu Hao's conspiracy. Everyone knows it is his plan, but they are still willing to dig into it.

In terms of design and technology, this deep space probe is definitely one of the best among all deep space probe designs that you have seen, and it has touched the hearts of countless experts.

It's like boys see sports cars, men see guns and weapons, and women see cosmetics and clothes. The old color P is like seeing a beautiful woman in cool clothes.

For this group of experts, nothing attracts them more than this deep space probe at the moment.

Immediately, some experts anxiously asked Wu Hao: "How much does it cost to develop and launch this deep-space probe? If the difference is not much, our scientific research institutes can make up for it."

What you want is your words. Wu Hao was overjoyed, and then he replied with a smile: "This deep space probe uses a series of new technologies, and the cost of a development may be relatively high. How much research and development funds are required? We don’t know yet, but our experts have given us a number, I’m afraid this deep space probe will cost at least one billion to start with, and how much it will take is still uncertain.”

hiss…

Hearing this quotation, everyone at the scene couldn't help but take a breath. This is definitely a big number and a big project. You must know that the country allocates not much funds to the aerospace system every year, and this has to be allocated to many institutions and research institutes for many major projects.

For now, I'm afraid they are unable to support such a project. But this project is indeed very good, so it is a pity for everyone to give up.

When everyone was frowning and lowering their heads to think, suddenly an expert said: "By the way, I remember that there are several deep space exploration projects in our aerospace system. Can we combine several projects together? Is this going to be enough money soon?"
