This star is going to the moon

Chapter 162 Yes, the domestically produced Starlink is really called the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array"?

Compared to the bustle of the entertainment industry, various aerospace engineering conferences are another kind of bustle.

The team responsible for the specific design of the satellite was also quite surprised when they saw the overall networking suggestions submitted by Lu Yun.

Because the satellites used for networking are different from single satellites for experiments, they cannot be designed as you please. The overall networking situation needs to be considered.

Previously, the largest number of networking satellites in the country was only more than 100. Now they are asked to design more than 10,000 networking satellites... It is really a bit of a rush.

So even though Lu Yun’s suggestions are just suggestions now, they are already very helpful for specific satellite design.

"I've heard before that many of Lu Yun's aerospace structures are called 'God-like structures', but I didn't believe it. Now I see that they are indeed worthy of their reputation."

"Actually, this makes sense. Lu Yun must have some special qualities to be able to serve as the chief designer of a manned lunar rocket at such a young age. Otherwise, the higher-ups wouldn't have made such special arrangements. Remember, the youngest person in our team is 29 years old."

"Yes, our country has special arrangements for many key projects. Basically, capable people, no, I should say, extremely capable people, are promoted to key positions. That's why many industries are developing so rapidly."

"This situation is not uncommon in history. It's mainly because modern technology is becoming increasingly specialized. It's common to promote young people at various 'capillary' nodes. However, positions that control the overall situation are mostly held by older people with extensive experience. For positions like rocket chief engineer, the youngest person must be at least 40 years old. Lu Yun's promotion this time... the higher-ups are truly bold."

"Then when we vote, we'll just follow Lu Yun and vote for whatever he votes for."

"I think so. He's the chief designer consultant, and his skills are so high. It's definitely a good idea to follow him."

"Then it's settled..."

In fact, it is not only this group that is discussing this, but other groups as well. The domestically produced Starlink, which consists of more than 10,000 satellites, is also a super project, and it cannot be done with fewer people.

As a result, when everyone saw the alternative names, they were stunned, because the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array" proposed by Lu Yun before was on the list!
Even Lu Yun was stunned.

Although he did make many suggestions to the country, and the country agreed to a very high degree of them, this "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array" is obviously a joke, right?

Can this also make the reserve list?
The name sounds awesome, and it seems to be from some ancient times, the same era as Gonggong, Dayu, and Fuxi, but it is completely the content that appears in modern primitive novels, not any official history or traditional mythology.

It is different from traditional mythological names such as Chang'e Flying to the Moon and Jade Rabbit Pounding Medicine!
Lu Yun felt a little guilty, he thought... the person who officially decided the name should not be too young, and probably would not read the online novels. In other words, it is really possible that the official regarded this name as something similar to the "Chang'e Project", "Yutu" lunar rover, or "Tiangong".

"This……"

Lu Yun was still trying to figure out how to explain it, but the host immediately said, "Start voting. Just tick the box on the screen in front of you."

The satellite design team stated: "I chose 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen' (Great Array of Zhou Tian Stars). It sounds very impressive, and the network of over 10,000 satellites truly lives up to the name. It also echoes the mythical naming tradition of domestic aerospace projects."

When Lu Yun heard this, he was about to say something but stopped himself. He stretched out his hand to stop him but then withdrew it.

Software Team: "I also choose 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen'. This name does coincide with the naming of Chinese space myths. Many international space projects use mythological names, such as the US's ongoing 'Artemis' program, which could also be called the 'Moon Goddess' program, which perfectly echoes the lunar mission."

When Lu Yun heard this, he stopped talking and was about to stretch out his hand again after retracting it.

The tracking and control team said, "Since everyone supports it, I'll choose it too. The other names are really common and can't highlight the value of this mega-project. A network of over 10,000 satellites is something we've never done in China before. It has to be impressive!"

Lu Yun retracted his arm again, and finally supported his chin and began to think.

These guys are very good at imagination. If they write prehistoric novels, they will definitely be a big hit. After all, it is only 2019 and the market for prehistoric novels has not declined too much.

In this way, the name of the domestic Starlink "Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array" took the lead and was decided with an overwhelming support rate.

Although Lu Yun felt a little hopeless, he still joined in the applause. After all, it was the name he came up with.

And on the bright side, this name is indeed impressive.

The most important thing is that unlike naming an aircraft carrier "Pipi Shrimp," at least "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen" sounds like a very serious name at first glance. "I hope netizens will give it some respect after the name is announced."

Lu Yun thought so.

He originally thought that the domestic Starlink project would take at least several months to be announced, at least until the launch of the test satellite next month, but he did not expect it to be on the News Broadcast that evening.

So when the name of "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen" was announced, those who didn't know much about it thought it was pretty good. Combined with the PPT plan of networking more than 10,000 satellites, it was indeed very impressive.

Those who understood the situation spat out their dinner on the spot, while others coughed violently after eating something in their throats.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"You kid, I told you to stop eating and read novels but you refused to listen. Now you're done, right? Come watch the news with me."

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

The child's cough became worse.

"What happened to you? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I think this name is awesome too... It's so awesome and powerful!"

Seeing that the child was fine, the parents continued to eat, and the child stopped reading the novel. He opened the book club to complain, and then found that the group was already discussing it.

[Fuck, that's awesome! ]

[Oh shit, no need to think, there must be some youngster who has infiltrated the aerospace system, or someone who has read the "Honghuang" series, and he came up with this name!]

I bet this guy must be sweating profusely right now. The higher-ups gave him a chance to come up with a name, and he's really bold. Maybe he thought he wouldn't be chosen, but he ended up being chosen, hahahaha.

[No, the news broadcast a video of the meeting, and it didn't seem like there were any particularly young people there.]

[I saw a familiar person flash by. The screenshot is a bit blurry, please take a look.]

[Holy crap, isn't that Rowoon? It's a little blurry, but it's definitely him. He's the youngest one there!]

[No way, a space scientist this awesome also reads prehistoric novels?]

In the past two years, the hot events in the aerospace industry have almost caught up with those in the entertainment industry, one after another, and the previous one is overshadowed by the next bigger one within a few days.

Before the "Great Zhoutian Star Array" became a big trend, the first manned mission of the Tiangong Space Station was coming.

Compared with unmanned satellites, which can only be used on a small scale next year, the first manned mission of the Tiangong space station to be carried out in the next few days is a bigger hot topic.

After the list of astronauts was announced, people discovered that there was an astronaut named Nie Haisheng who had lived in the Tiangong-1 space laboratory.

After entering space this time, he will become the first astronaut to stay in three types of space stations.

Because at this time the Tianhe core module is docked with the Tiangong-2 space laboratory!

Therefore, this astronaut flight mission will produce many historical moments and will be extremely popular!

It is comparable to the popularity of two cities during their down-home days decades ago.
