This star is going to the moon

Chapter 345 Lu Yun unleashes his full acting skills, telling the special agent about the stars and the sea!

Most people don't pay much attention to the country's aerospace leaders, especially the older ones.

After all, the national team's aerospace engineering is very confidential.

Sometimes even the identities of the engineers and scientists involved are kept secret, and those who are not staff members of the system or students of aerospace schools would not know the relevant information.

Academician Sun is a typical example, and this content is also included in the plot of Lu Yun's film "Meritorious Service".

At first, Academician Sun's wife did not know exactly what he did. She only knew that her husband was very busy, either working overtime or attending meetings, and that he would be away on business trips for several months at a time. He could only contact his family by letter, and the mailing address was just a vague "X mailbox".

Sometimes when she felt stifled, she could only talk to the wall.

It wasn't until 1985, when the Ministry of Aerospace announced that domestically produced carrier rockets were going global, that she, after nearly 30 years of marriage, learned what her husband did from television.

The reason why Lu Yun has received special attention is that he is handsome, young, and an entertainment star.

Secondly, although he is a bigwig in the aerospace industry, he is a bigwig in a commercial aerospace company.

Times have changed. For commercial companies, products under development need to be kept secret, but the leaders involved do not need to keep them secret and may even have to publicize them extensively.

However, now that Academician Sun has another title, people have an opportunity to learn about him.

Wow, 91 years old! If he goes to space, wouldn't he break the record set by the US at 77 years old for an astronaut?

[That's right, Lu Yun's previous academician teacher was 75 years old, which I found a bit of a pity. I didn't expect Lu Yun to have such a groundbreaking project in mind!]

[This Academician Sun is quite remarkable; he was one of the eight recipients of the "Medal of the Republic" just last year, which is our country's highest honor!]

[That's right, Academician Sun is an absolute veteran in our country's aerospace system, a top expert among experts. His generation truly worked tirelessly to develop the aerospace industry when our country had nothing and was extremely poor. It was only after decades of hard work that we have achieved the current prosperity.]

Indeed, our technology in unmanned lunar exploration has now surpassed that of the United States, and although our manned lunar landing came decades later, I feel strangely that we are now on the same starting line.

I have the same feeling. It's like how the Americans' manned moon landings decades ago were all for naught. This time, they have to start all over again, and it might not even be as fast as before, with delays at every turn.

[Actually, it's different. Previous US manned lunar landings lasted anywhere from twenty hours to three days on the lunar surface, with extravehicular activities ranging from two to twenty hours. This time, the initial mission will involve a week-long stay on the lunar surface, as well as testing for future long-term research stations, a lunar orbital space station, and exploring reusable spacecraft technologies to involve more commercial companies and reduce costs. There are quite a few new technologies involved.]

Now that you mention it, I understand a bit. No wonder the process is so slow; it turns out the "national mobilization model" has become their favorite "business model."

Manned lunar landings are still too far off for us. The Americans say it will take two or four years, and we don't know when that will be. So let's talk about the 91-year-old astronaut. If this old man can go to space, does that mean I can save money until I'm 90?

If you quit masturbating starting today and then exercise to stay healthy, it should work.

[Forget about quitting masturbation; living to 90 is a matter of luck, so don't listen to him, buddy, just masturbate when you feel like it.]

My family has some money, and I'd like to go to space, but my father-in-law won't give me the money. Do you think if I encouraged my 80-year-old father to go to space and see what it's like, he might buy me a ticket too?

I think you should wait until Lu Yun announces the price of the space tour before making any decisions. What if the price is too high and your family doesn't have enough money?

【Ah this...】

The "91-year-old astronaut" is indeed a hot topic because it's not just about breaking a record, it's about breaking a huge record.

This also proves once again that the space shuttle is a "groundbreaking spacecraft".

Based on this calculation, the age limit for riding the space shuttle would be from nine to ninety years old, covering the entire age range.

This is very beneficial for the future development of manned spaceflight.

Just as a family-friendly movie that appeals to all ages is more likely to be a box office hit, a movie that is only meant for a specific group is destined to be niche and unpopular.

The fourth manned test flight of the Muyuan rocket is scheduled for September 29th. This time, the date was announced a week in advance, giving those who want to visit the airport's exterior scenic area ample time to prepare.

And indeed, many people want to go this time, because just like Rowoon's trip to space, it's something to behold.

A 91-year-old man... truly amazing! On September 24th, Lu Yun updated his Weibo again, but this time it wasn't about aerospace information. Instead, he promoted Peng Yuchang's upcoming web series, "The Sky of Wind and Dogs."

This show is a rare exclusive broadcast on Bilibili, and they made the right bet.

Lu Yun watched this drama in his previous life. The quality was quite good. It tells the story of a group of high school students' innocent lives and confronts the conflict between the pure campus and social reality. It seems very down-to-earth.

It's not one of those pretentious, contrived so-called youth campus dramas.

Peng Yuchang's performance was also very good, especially the scene where his father passed away.

I still need to practice the local dialect of Chongqing.

On the 27th, as many people began heading towards the coastal city's space airport, a cannon shot rang out in Nagorno-Karabakh, marking the start of the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Lu Yun was aware of the conflict; the two countries had been hostile for a long time, so it was not surprising that a large-scale conflict had occurred.

The reason Lu Yun was able to remember it was because it was during this conflict that drones officially entered the mainstream!
Azerbaijan used drones to destroy a lot of heavy ground equipment in Armenia, and soldiers hiding in trenches could not avoid it.

The combat capabilities of drones in this conflict also brought about a change in the form of warfare in another, larger conflict later on.

Drones are so useful!
The performance of drones in the Azerbaijani and Armenian conflicts has even prompted many Chinese people to reflect on their own actions.

"We must pay attention to drones; we can't fall behind."

These words caused Rowoon, who had just finished filming "Meritorious Service" and returned to the space airport, to show a tense expression again.

How can we get China to pay more attention to drones?

Drones all over the world use parts manufactured in Chinese factories!

Even all parts or the entire machine are made in China!

So Lu Yun smiled and moved on. His most important task now is to give a "departure speech" to the two commercial astronaut trainees who are about to go into space!

"Dong Chen and Simon, as astronauts, or astronauts who are about to enter space, I hope you will remember a few words."

"Once you enter space, you will see magnificent sights, especially Earth, which will be breathtakingly beautiful. You will then understand the meaning of 'Blue Star' in the company name."

"However, as astronauts on Earth, we should not only admire its beauty, but also remember that the blue planet is our home. We should protect and enhance its beauty, not destroy it."

"Although you have gone to space, remember that there are a large number of staff and teams who cannot go to space, and it is they who lifted you up from below!"

"Flying into space is a remarkable feat of teamwork. Every participant is an indispensable part of this great project. Although you are isolated by hundreds of kilometers of atmosphere, the shared future of mankind binds you closely together!"

"I firmly believe that the future of mankind lies in the stars and the sea. You are not only commercial astronauts on Earth, but also astronauts for all mankind."

As Lu Yun spoke, he patted Dong Chen and Simon on the shoulder: "Going to space alone will not be the end of your lives. I have high hopes for you."

"In the future, on the moon, Mars, and even in the vast ocean of stars, you will be the starship sailors who brave the waves for humanity..."
