This star is going to the moon

Chapter 34 Is this the romance of science and engineering men?

At the end of March, the technology of the Falcon 9 rocket took another big step forward.

It has successfully recovered its first-stage rocket several times before, but this launch at the end of March was the first time that it used a second-hand first-stage rocket and a brand new second-stage rocket to launch a payload and successfully sent it into space orbit.

The most important thing is that the second-hand first-stage rocket was successfully recovered again. The company said that it will be reused a second time after inspection.

SpaceX's boss, Elon Ma, was so happy that he tweeted several times.

Relatively speaking, the emotions of people in the aerospace system around the world are somewhat complicated.

Some are happy, feeling that the era of great development in aerospace has arrived again.

This time is not like the Cold War space race of decades ago, a frenzied race that was unsustainable and terribly costly.

At that time, the Americans spared no expense in order to achieve a manned lunar landing. The price of a lunar rocket was equivalent to that of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. However, the rockets at that time were all disposable, and launching a lunar rocket was equivalent to throwing away a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Even the wealthy Americans can’t stand it!

Later, when they found out they had won, they immediately stopped working on manned moon landings. The tide of space travel receded, trapping many people and projects on the reef.

But this time is different. Reusable rockets have arrived, the cost of space travel has been greatly reduced, a large number of space projects can be launched, and the Earth will enter a new space era.

Where there are joys, there are also fears. For example, the old American aerospace groups are afraid that emerging aerospace companies like SpaceX will steal their iron rice bowls.

Like the American "Return to the Moon Plan".

The established aerospace groups immediately united to exclude SpaceX and absolutely could not let SpaceX get involved in the moon landing program.

Returning to the moon must be accomplished with the SLS rocket, which is a super project worth billions of dollars every year!

There is also the Commercial Crew Program.

The Starliner manned spacecraft supported by the veteran aerospace group Boeing must also make its maiden flight before SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft, win orders from the Commercial Crew Program, and make the Crew Dragon spacecraft a backup!
There are also people in other countries who are afraid, mostly ordinary people. After seeing the reuse of the Falcon rocket, they exclaimed "invincible".

There is no hope for our country's space technology. We have to kneel down and make a living.

There is no need to develop aerospace technology. It would be more cost-effective to directly purchase the launch mission of Falcon 9. The money saved can be used to help the poor people in the West who are still eating grass.

However, the R&D department of Blue Star Aerospace Corporation is very excited, because the more successful the Falcon 9 rocket is, the more correct their Wanhu rocket project is.

Domestic commercial aerospace companies are now starting with small rockets, then developing non-recoverable "big rockets", and finally developing reusable rockets. The first recovery plan is scheduled for eight or nine years later.

Too slow!

Blue Star Aerospace doesn't need to do anything eye-catching to attract investment in the early stages. The big sponsors have both money and technology, and can get it done in one step!
The next appearance of Wanhu Rocket will not be eye-catching, but will shock everyone!
At the same time, Director Su of "Time Raiders" was also very happy.

She didn't know about the Falcon 9 rocket, nor did she know that her male and female protagonists were working on the Wanhu rocket.

She only knew that the male and female protagonists of her movie would most likely fall in love with each other and get together.

The most feared thing when filming a romance drama is that there is no CP feeling between the male and female protagonists, and the sweet feeling of love cannot be expressed.

Only people with good acting skills can create a good CP feeling, and the male and female protagonists who perform with "experience-based" acting skills... are probably not acting, they are really doing it!

Director Su thinks Lu Yun and An Fangfei are the latter, and they are going to do it for real!
This is definitely good news for "Time Raiders".

In fact, many couples in the entertainment industry fall in love on the set, but no one knows how long the relationship will last.

Of course, it is not difficult to maintain it until the end of filming, which can ensure that the "acting skills" will explode during filming and make the movie look very exciting.

As for whether they can maintain this relationship by the time the movie is released next year, it is hard to say, but when the time comes, they will form a CP for promotion, and their CP feeling should be stronger than that of ordinary co-actors.

That's enough for the film and the director.

Moreover, Lu Yun and An Fangfei receive a share of the box office revenue, so they shouldn't do anything tricky to get a bigger share.

In fact, this is indeed the case. After all, An Fangfei is an "old actor" who has debuted for more than ten years. She quickly adjusted her state and passed the shot.

Then change the direction, change the lens, and continue shooting that scene.

Filmmaking is such a hassle. The audience sees the plot and visuals as coherent, but the actors film it in fragmented and disjointed ways. Even if the film clearly only cuts briefly, the plot remains coherent, while the actors might have filmed a month apart.

After today's show was over, An Fangfei returned to her room and began to walk around in circles, reflecting.

"what's wrong with me?"

"It's not like I haven't filmed romantic scenes before, and it's not like I haven't seen handsome guys before, so how could this happen?"

"Yes, Rowoon's acting is better than those male actors I've worked with before in emotional scenes. His eye contact is also very exciting and can really draw me into the role."

"He can also guide me in acting, and the effect is very good, which can help me to perform better. As his elder sister, it is not an exaggeration for me to call him 'teacher'."

"And his handsomeness is different from those male celebrities' handsomeness. He has more temperament and is more knowledgeable. Not only was he a top student in school, but after graduation he also started his own aerospace company."

"His aerospace engineering skills are also very impressive. Although I don't understand it, so many engineers admire him and follow his instructions. It is obviously more amazing than I imagined."

"He also said his dream was to explore the vast ocean and the stars, and to travel to space on a spacecraft he designed and built himself."

"He also said he wanted to take me with him so we could take photos with the Earth, the Moon, and the stars in the universe."

"Is this the romance of a science and engineering man?"

"But even with all this... I shouldn't... I shouldn't..."

An Fangfei pulled her thick, black hair and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just then, cousin Liu Xiaoxin walked in with a fat-reducing meal. Seeing An Fangfei spinning around, she laughed and asked, "What's going on? You kept getting stuck while filming today. You realized your acting skills, even after ten years of experience, can't compare to this little guy who debuted only a year ago. Are you anxious?"

"But it's been so many days, there's no point in getting anxious now. You should just call Xiaolu 'Teacher' honestly, haha~"

An Fangfei looked at her cousin with resentment.

Last year, my cousin was wary of Lu Yun, but now she has completely changed.

But my mother now dislikes Lu Yun a little. She probably feels that Lu Yun is like the yellow-haired man riding a will-o'-the-wild fire.

Even more serious.

After all, Guihuo Huangmao is just a sex scammer, and in his mother's eyes, Lu Yun is probably also a money scammer.

After all, 20 million investment was thrown into the completely unfamiliar commercial aerospace field, which did not seem right no matter how one looked at it.

Even Lu Yun has a criminal record.

At first, Liu Li really thought that her daughter had a relapse of an old injury and needed to rest, so she turned down several dramas. However, when Lu Yun asked her to, she happily came to act in "Time Raiders", which made her feel something was wrong.

Then he immediately analyzed the real situation from the clues!
To be honest, as long as we don't mention the issue of choosing scripts, Liu Chun and Liu Li are both strong in another field.

If Lu Yun didn't know that they just happened to have the same surname Liu, he would have thought they were siblings.

But An Fangfei really wanted to say to her mother: "Mom, you don't understand him at all. He is not a liar, he is a very talented person..."

Relatively speaking, my father is more rational. He won’t say anything directly, but will observe first before speaking.

He even asked her to take Lu Yun home to observe him.

An Fangfei really wanted to say to her father, "Can you just take that with you? You know how powerful the tigress is at home..."

The next day, we were going to shoot a kissing scene.

Director Su observed the atmosphere on the scene, then with a flick of his eyeballs, suggested, "How about trying a real kiss scene? That would enhance the film's artistic quality..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun glanced at An Fangfei, and An Fangfei blushed immediately.

But he said, "For the sake of art, it's not impossible..."
