This star is going to the moon

Chapter 295 of "Black Myth" mentions switching to Unreal Engine 5 and inviting Sha Yi to join "The Wandering Earth 2".

The "Golden Toad" mini lunar rover was just a small test of Lu Yun's "technology integration theory," while the "Wan Hu" rocket, which was successfully recovered on its maiden flight, was the true embodiment of the "technology integration theory."

However, when it comes to reusable rockets, almost everyone's opinion is that... Ma Yilong succeeded in making one first, and then Lu Yun did the same.

After all, Lu Yun's most famous "big technology integration theory" is to integrate existing technologies, but how do you integrate technologies that don't exist?

There is no precedent for a single-unit space shuttle successfully entering orbit; in fact, the term "space shuttle" is a new type of space shuttle defined by Lu Yun.

All previous similar projects were unfinished products, because even the X-33, which came closest to success, was designed to take off vertically from a tower.

Lu Yun's "Wooden Kite," a single-unit space shuttle that takes off from an airplane runway, is a completely new product.

Therefore, it's normal for some people to worry about the success rate of the maiden flight.

Some people don't think about that much; they're only worried about whether they can get time off.

"Boss, I'd like to ask for leave, I..."

"can."

"what?"

"What? Hurry up and grab some tickets! Do you know how many people are going to Binhai Aerospace City during those days?"

The boss touched his bald head and looked at the energetic new employees, sighing, "If the company didn't really need it, I'd love to go see it myself. It's something even the Americans don't have!"

The new employee's eyes lit up, and he sincerely said, "Thank you, boss!"

The date of the maiden flight of the "Wooden Kite" space shuttle and the events it sparked trended on social media for several days.

Even the airing of the first episode of the fourth season of "Back to Field" and the first episode of the sixth season of "Go Fighting!" didn't generate as many trending topics as the "Wooden Kite" incident.

However, both still contributed many memorable moments.

For example, the first episode of "Back to Field" featured Zhou Xun, Zhang Jingyi, and Guo Qilin.

Upon hearing that he would also be tutoring high school students preparing for the college entrance examination, Guo Qilin was stunned on the spot.

"I only have a junior high school education!"

"I didn't even finish high school, and you want me to tutor students preparing for the college entrance exam?"

"I dare to tutor her, but would my sister dare to learn?"

As soon as he said that, a bunch of "hahahahaha" comments flooded the screen.

[As expected of a crosstalk performer, they delivered laughs right from the start.]

I feel that this season of "Back to Field" is showing signs of shifting from a slow-paced variety show to a comedy show.

[Oh no, the person with the lowest educational background on "Back to Field" has been born.]

Then Teacher He came out and said, "Qi Lin, I've heard your dad say that 'in the end, what artists compete on is their culture.' Even though you didn't continue your studies after junior high, you must read a lot of books on your own. Among us, your culture level is not the lowest."

Teacher He glanced at Peng Peng as she spoke.

Pengpeng pointed to himself and said, "Ah, me?"

Seeing Peng Peng's cooperation, Teacher He laughed and said, "I didn't say that. You were the one who said you were a bad student before."

Hearing this, Pengpeng's face fell. He looked at the puppy that came over, squatted down and hugged it tightly: "Oh, little H, it's good that you're at the bottom, otherwise I would be the one with the lowest culture in Mushroom House."

Little H: "?"

Peng Peng's role in the Mushroom House is that of a "simple-minded boy," or rather, a bit of a "silly boy," so he often compares himself to the dog.

For example, in the previous two seasons, he raced against dogs to chase balls.

They won.

Little H is indeed at the bottom.

At this moment, Guo Qilin said, "Teacher He, you also said 'fight to the end,' but my sister is about to take the college entrance examination, which is a new stage in her life. It's not the end yet, so my education is useless."

As he spoke, he squatted down next to the dog.

Little H: "??"

Guo Qilin goes without saying; as a crosstalk performer, what's required is to interact with the audience live, not be stage-frightened, shameless, and uninhibited.

Compared to the more relaxed "Back to Field," the new season of "Go Fighting!" is a bit lacking. The original "Go Fighting! Men" members, including the popular Huang Bo, Sun Honglei, and Teacher Huang, are all gone, leaving only Wang Xun as a regular cast member, while Lay Zhang Yixing only appeared as a guest for two episodes.

The new regular cast members were new to "Go Fighting!", a variety show unlike other variety shows. Several of the regular cast members who joined in the previous season were also unfamiliar with the format, so they were not used to it and the first episode was awkward. They need to continue to work on their relationship.

Binhai, which proposed to become a "world-class aerospace tourism destination," has already adapted well. This massive influx of tourists has not overwhelmed the tourism system; on the contrary, it has made Binhai unprecedentedly lively.

However, while the tourists here are well taken care of, the other tourist destination is facing some minor troubles.

Late on the night of the 13th, Unreal Engine 5 was released. After contemplating the incredibly realistic demo, Feng Ji and the others began to discuss it.

"This is not even in the same league. The graphics of Unreal Engine 4 are like pixelated images compared to the graphics of Unreal Engine 5."

"Yes, Unreal Engine 5 is amazing, but here's the problem: our monkeys are using Unreal Engine 4. Should we switch to Unreal Engine 5?"

“We’ve already done so much. If we replace all the data with Unreal Engine 5, it will cost a lot more money and time. Will the investors agree to that?”

"But if we don't switch to Unreal Engine 5, our game will be a generation behind other major international titles released at the same time, which doesn't align with our original intention of 'making the world's top games.'"

"Yes, and our art resources are so amazing, many of them are cultural treasures that have been preserved for thousands of years. It would be a shame not to use the latest Unreal Engine 5 to showcase them."

Although everyone had their own reasons, Feng Ji ultimately made the final decision: "Change!"

"Just like we said before, if we're going to do it, we'll make a world-class game, and the Monkey King game must also be world-class!"

"Old Zhao will talk to the engine company. You're the most familiar with them, so it's best to get some support from them. After all, if Black Monkey is successful, it will be a major boon for Unreal Engine 5."

“I will personally talk to the investors. I can’t say about the others, but I think there is one person who will definitely give their strong support.”

Hearing the boss say this, everyone asked curiously, "Who?"

"Lu Yun, President Lu!"

Everyone was stunned.

It really is!
Moreover, given Lu Yun's status and influence, if he agrees, the other investors will likely agree as well.

Thinking about this, those who had been worried before felt relieved.

Just like they said before, if they're going to do it, they'll make the world's top games!

They certainly like to use the best technology on Black Monkey.

As for Lu Yun, he immediately agreed after receiving Feng Ji's call.

Or perhaps he was just waiting for this.

In his previous life, Lu Yun had played the Unreal Engine 5 version of "Black Monkey". After playing it in this life ahead of time, aside from the novelty, the Unreal Engine 4 version of "Black Monkey" was indeed a bit lacking.

Now that "Black Monkey" is finally going to be released on Unreal Engine 5, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Once this is over, it'll be time to start looking for actors for "The Wandering Earth 2".

It just so happens that Peng Peng and his sister made a video call to him when they were filming the second episode of the fourth season of "Back to Field," and he caught one of them on the spot.

It was none other than Zhang Peng, Liu Peiqiang's mentor.

Of course, in reality his name is Sha Yi.

Currently, most people see him as a "middle-aged comedian," especially after participating in the third season of "Go Fighting!", where "Golden Bell Iron Shirt" became his nickname.

Later, he also participated in the second season of "Back to Field" and was caught by Teacher Huang to do chores again.

He came prepared with all precautions and was determined not to do any work!

This episode aired on the evening of the 15th.

The iconic scene is when Teacher Huang rolled his eyes and said, "Old Sha, you don't need to do any work this time. Let me tell you, my 'divine calculation' is all a lie. I think you're smarter than me. As long as you help your sister with her homework and get the problems solved, I'll..."

"I admit you're good, so what?"

Sha Yi's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up: "Are you serious?"

"Everyone's watching, so you can't lie this time!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not lying. This isn't a food show, why would I lie to anyone?" Teacher Huang said seriously.

Sha Yi was relieved and said happily, "I told you that your trickery was pointless. When it really matters, you need someone as honest and smart as me!"
