This star is going to the moon

Chapter 118 Director: The script is too conservative!
When Lu Yun finished talking about the data of the "Wooden Kite" space shuttle, the audience was shocked, but they could accept it.

After all, the PPT of this kind of high-tech gadget is one thing, and the implementation of the technology is another.

How long it takes to produce it is another matter.

But when Lu Yun said that it would "make its first flight within two years", everyone, whether foreigners or Chinese, was shocked.

Road Cloud’s technology conference just ended, and now it’s time for questions and answers.

The man sitting in the front row with a cloth on his head immediately raised his hand.

Seeing that he was someone who "understood technology", Lu Yun gestured for him to ask questions.

Others were also curious about what he would ask?
Abdul asked directly in English, "Mr. Lu, is the 'Kite' class space shuttle now accepting orders? Our UAE Space Agency wants to order at least one."

"..."

The scene was quiet for a while.

Lu Yun was also stunned for a moment.

He knew that Abdul was "technically savvy", but he didn't expect him to be so "technically savvy".

Most people probably didn't believe that he could make the "Wooden Kite"'s maiden flight within two years, but Abdul not only believed it, he also directly supported it by "buying, buying, buying".

However, thinking about what happened a few years after his previous life, Lu Yun probably knew why Abdul wanted to buy a space shuttle, so he replied in English: "Mr. Abdul, let's go to the company to discuss it in detail later."

Abdul nodded.

Then Lu Yun called out another Russian. He didn't ask about the time, but directly asked in Russian about a technical detail that was not a technical secret. Lu Yun also answered him in Russian.

As a student majoring in aerospace, English and Russian materials are must-reads, so learning these two languages ​​is also considered basic.

After a while, he answered a few more questions and then left the stage, leaving behind a group of excited people.

"Ghost, Lu Yun really wants to build the 'Wooden Kite' within two years. What's the difference between publicly stating the timeline at a press conference and issuing a military order? Awesome!"

"Not necessarily. Delays are common in the aerospace industry. I remember a newspaper in China in the early 2000s saying we were going to 'plan three steps for lunar exploration,' and that 'countries around the world were gearing up.' At the time, the Americans set a target of 2015 for a return to the moon, and no later than 2020. But now that's on hold."

(Internet pictures, friends who can't see the pictures can just update the Qidian APP version. I don't mean to ask book friends to help me find pictures, I put the pictures myself)
"In fact, not only foreign space programs are often delayed, but our country's are also delayed. It's just that our domestic space program is relatively low-key, and many announcements are made after the fact, so no one pays attention."

"That's the national team, right? Blue Star Aerospace is a commercial aerospace company, so its information transparency is much higher. I think Lu Yun can really build the 'Wooden Kite' within two years."

"If it's really built, how much would it cost to go into space? Lu Yun just said it would be much cheaper, but he didn't specify how much it would cost."

"That's hard to say. I know foreign countries have engaged in space tourism in the past, with seats selling for tens of millions of dollars. But even if the 'Wood Kite' can be reduced to tens of millions of RMB, ordinary people like us can't afford it."

"Tens of millions of RMB is equivalent to millions of US dollars. If the 'Wooden Kite' is really that cheap, there will definitely be many wealthy foreigners who want to ride it. Then, when Blue Star Aerospace makes money and develops a large space shuttle that can carry dozens of people, it might become incredibly cheap. If we save up some money, we'll have a chance..."

Based on their trust in Lu Yun, ordinary people are already imagining the future. Even if it cannot be built within two years, there will definitely be no problem with a few years of grace.

Based on Lu Yun's performance over the past two days, they don't think Lu Yun will run away.

On the Internet, space enthusiasts are having even more heated discussions.

They also believed that Lu Yun could build the "Wooden Kite", and it was even possible to build it within two years. This was because the "Wooden Kite" was also based on Lu Yun's "Technology Integration Theory"!
[I don't know if it's an illusion, but the "Wooden Kite" reminds me of the X-33 single-stage orbital space shuttle that the Americans abandoned.]

[It's not an illusion. The Wooden Kite is essentially a technologically upgraded version of the X-33 space shuttle from more than a decade ago. It's the X-33's "dream self."]

[Yes, the Wood Kite's linear aerospike engine is very similar to the X-33's RS-2200 linear aerospike engine. It seems that Lu Yun has solved some of the technical problems that the RS-2200 had before.]

The carbon fiber composite liquid hydrogen tank of the Wood Kite was a technical problem that the X-33 had been unable to solve before.

The material of the Kite's liquid oxygen tank is a lightweight composite material that is resistant to liquid oxygen corrosion, which is also what the X-33 dreams of. Because the technology was not up to standard more than a decade ago, the X-33's liquid oxygen tank is made of 2219 aluminum.

The Mu Kite is slightly larger than the X-33, but compared to the X-33's "fat triangle," the Mu Kite's appearance is more elegant, a clear result of recent technological advancements. The aesthetics of technological creations, to a certain extent, represent advanced technology.

(Comparison chart of the X-33 and the Wooden Kite I made)
[This is hilarious! Will the Americans go crazy when they see the Wooden Kite? They were the first to research many of the technologies, but abandoned some of them when they were almost successful. Now, Lu Yun has mastered all of the core technologies and integrated them into the Wooden Kite.]

[Lu Yun didn't just follow their PowerPoint presentation, but rather upgraded their dream. The X-33 doesn't have the ability to take off horizontally from a runway.]

[Speaking of which, if the Wooden Kite can really be built and can take off from an airstrip, wouldn't it be an aerospace plane?]

[No, no, no, it's not a space plane. The Wooden Kite isn't that impressive because it has a significant fuel limit and can't fly freely within the atmosphere. It must immediately fly into space after takeoff. Lu Yun's concept of a "space shuttle" is very accurate...]

The Americans are not crazy yet, because it takes time for information to be transmitted, and it is the middle of the night there.

So far, only Ma Yilong has received the news, and the "World Space Enthusiasts Group" is also discussing it.

Information transmission in China is very fast. Regardless of other things, the crew of "You Are My Glory" is very concerned about the news about Lu Yun.

However, it’s not because I’m afraid that Lu Yun will suddenly go bankrupt and affect the TV series, but I want to see what Lu Yun, who is an aerospace engineer in real life, is doing, and whether he can better integrate it with the plot of the TV series?

If good interaction is formed inside and outside the TV, it will be a huge boost to the TV series "Glory".

But when the director saw the news, listened to Lu Yun's wonderful speech, and learned about the "Wooden Kite" space shuttle, he asked the screenwriter with a puzzled look on his face.

"Is our script... too conservative?"

Gu Man was also confused. She thought it was amazing that she made the protagonist "Yu Tu" become the "youngest chief designer of deep space probes in the aerospace system" at the age of 34.

But in reality, although Lu Yun became the chief designer of the "Wanhu" reusable rocket at the age of 25, it was also very impressive, but the rocket only flew near the earth.

The "Soushen" in the plot is a probe to the edge of the solar system, so it can be said that the "virtual plot" wins.

But as soon as the Muyuan was launched, the "manned" system had already won against the "unmanned" system.

What's more, it is a spacecraft that has never existed in human history. It is newly named "space shuttle", which is also incomparable to the "Soushen" in the "virtual plot".

Gu Man scratched her head: "How about waiting for Lu Yun to come back and ask him to revise the script?"

director:"……"

It is said that film and television dramas are "dream-making art", but where exactly is the dream?
