Chapter 315 Lu Yun's Super Learning Ability: Americans Learn from... India!
"This is incredible!"

"The differences between people are just too great!"

"Is this even human?"

"I feel that Lu Yun was born to be an astronaut!"

"My God, Lu Yun is absolutely amazing!"

These words weren't spoken by mindless fans, but by astronauts and staff at the astronaut training center.

Of course, the last sentence was said by An Fangfei, a "brainless fan".

Comparatively speaking, her astronaut training results were not ideal.

Fortunately, as a normal person, she has more than enough training to become a space tourist.

As for Lu Yun, he has truly achieved phenomenal results.

For physical training, this young man in his twenties is at the peak of his physical strength.

Moreover, he also possesses three skills that can enhance his physique: Level 5 [Physical Performance], Level 4 [Qi Gong Guiding Technique], and Level 3 [Military Combat Technique].

Among them, the Qigong Guiding Technique enhances the body's essence, while the superb physical performance increases the body's control, making his physical condition and athletic ability far surpass those of older professional astronauts.

As for technical aspects, Lu Yun's learning ability is also exceptionally strong.

Being able to get into Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics is proof of Lu Yun's academic excellence. What's more, the years of "golden touch" have helped develop his brain, resulting in an incredible improvement in his memory, comprehension, and other abilities.

Although these things won't be displayed on the skill panel, if they also have levels, Lu Yun felt they were at least level 5.

It might even have reached level 6!

Moreover, he was originally a top student in the aerospace field, and he already possessed a large part of the knowledge that professional astronauts need to learn.

As for understanding the technology of spacecraft, including learning piloting skills...

Lu Yun doesn't need to learn about the Shenzhou manned spacecraft, as that's something that's going to be phased out. Instead, current astronauts need to learn about the Muyuan spacecraft.

And speaking of the Wooden Kite...

No one knows the Wooden Kite better than Lu Yun!
Compared to astronauts who were originally pilots, Lu Yun didn't know how to fly a plane at first, but he quickly learned to fly by himself through the internet. After the instructors at the training base let him try it on a virtual machine, they decisively guaranteed that he could fly a real plane.

The result... was completely effortless, I passed it on my first try!

Lu Yun doesn't have a certificate simply because he hasn't received formal education and training.

Of course, Lu Yun has no plans to go outside the spacecraft in the short term, so he does not need to be trained in wearing an extravehicular activity suit, spacewalking, or extravehicular work.

The training for these professional astronauts is varied and incremental, and there's really not much that Lu Yun needs to train seriously, so his training progress is very fast!

During this time, a small problem did arise on the American side.

That is, an amphibious assault ship undergoing a major $2.5 million overhaul, including modifications to accommodate F-35B fighter jet takeoffs and landings, exploded and caught fire.

(The Bonhomme Richard becomes the "familiar" Bonhomme Richard)
The whole world was shocked when this happened.

As videos and pictures have surfaced, the fire appears to be quite large, and it's unclear whether it can be extinguished.

The key point is that this is a giant ship with a full-load displacement of 4 tons, a length of 257 meters and a width of 42 meters.

This class of ship is the largest amphibious vessel in the world in terms of tonnage and the number of helicopters it carries since the invention of naval vessels.

它的机库里可以存放28架CH-46E直升机，飞行甲板上还可以停放14架CH-46E或9架CH-53E直升机。

Below the deck, there is a well deck over 80 meters long, which can carry 12 LCM6 mechanized landing craft or 3 LCAC hovercraft.

坞舱前面是一个二层车辆舱，单纯装载坦克、车辆能装在约200辆。    携载登陆部队及其装备物资的能力也是很强的，其典型的登陆部队搭载能力为2000名登陆人员，5辆Ml型坦克、25辆轻型装甲车、8门M198榴弹炮、68辆卡车、1辆燃料车及其他类型车辆。

This class of ship also has relatively complete medical facilities, second only to hospital ships, with 600 beds and multiple operating rooms and clinics.

Good heavens, how could such a powerful ship have such a major accident? The Americans aren't like India; they can't just blow up their own ships.

Indeed, the US Navy is the world's number one; how could such a major accident occur?

The US Navy is indeed the world's largest, but it seems to be more about sheer size than substance; it's already facing a host of problems, and these problems have accumulated to a point where some seem insurmountable.

I recall a saying, "The US is becoming like India, India is becoming like a god," which gives you an idea of ​​what's happening to the US right now.

Indeed, the US Navy currently has a large fleet, but its ability to develop and build new ships has collapsed. For example, the futuristic-looking DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer has been reduced from 32 to just 3, essentially abandoned.

(Net map)
[Haha, I know this advanced destroyer; 29 of them were "sunk" by the Admiral.]

[The US Navy's new ships are indeed out of commission, but the older ones are in relatively good condition, and their super damage control capabilities from World War II are still very strong. It's estimated that the USS Bonhomme Richard will be able to put out the fire soon.]

It's hard to say...

It's hard to say.

Just as the Bonhomme Richard was engulfed in flames, the World Meteorological Organization released its latest climate forecast report.

The report states that last year was the second hottest year on record globally, second only to 5, and a new "hottest year on record" could emerge within five years.

That is, between 2020 and 2025.

And now, the Good Man Richard is adding to the glory and warmth.

[This is hilarious! Why did the World Meteorological Organization release this now of all times? Are they trying to provoke the Americans?]

The USS Bonhomme Richard has become the USS Familiar Richard. The fire was brought under control in two days and completely extinguished in four. Judging from the images, the bridge has collapsed, and the interior is likely completely burned.

Is this even repairable? After all, it's a 4-ton amphibious assault ship.

It's probably beyond repair; it might be more cost-effective to scrap it altogether.

[Holy crap, really? They're just going to throw away such an awesome warship like that?]

[If you ask me, the Americans could learn from the Russians and sell it to India. They might even make a few billion dollars that way. After all, that's how I sold an aircraft carrier to India for one dollar.]

[Hahaha, isn't this just treating Third Brother like a fool? Third Brother has already stepped on a landmine once, how could he possibly do it again?]

[Third Brother's words... are hard to say.]

However, soon no one was paying attention to the American warships anymore, because something even more exciting was coming.

Domestically, first, Lu Yun and An Fangfei's final episode of "Longing" will air, and the next day, the seventh episode of "Tomorrow's Astronauts" will air, which will determine the list of commercial astronauts needed by Blue Star Space!
After all, it's not a formal variety show, so it won't run for more than ten episodes; the seventh episode is the finale.

In just a few days, the launch of the "Earth-Mars Fleet" will take place, with three countries launching their Mars probes within a week.

Compared to things on land or in the sea, people are more willing to briefly forget the petty squabbles of humanity and look up at the stars.

It would be dangerous if humanity were to be permanently confined to Earth.

A slightly better future would be entering a cyberpunk world.

In the worst-case scenario, then prepare for nuclear apocalypse.

Therefore, people still believe that humanity's future lies in the stars and the sea.
