This star is going to the moon

After Chapter 359, there is no "out of service area" message.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lu Yun. Since I'm currently attending the International Astronautical Congress in Debai, this is the only way I can communicate..."

"Boom~"

When Lu Yun's handsome face appeared on the big screen at the Huayao Mate40 launch event, the audience erupted in a clamor.

"Haha, I knew this name would be related to Lu Yun, and now it's kind of officially recognized."

"I just secretly watched the broadcast of the International Astronautical Congress on my phone. Elon Musk just said that his Starlink is going to be tested. I didn't expect that our country's Starlink is also practical."

“Indeed, I listened to it while I was next to you, but there are still some differences between the two. Old Ma’s Starlink directly provides high-speed network, while StarDo only allows Huayao’s mobile phone to send text messages, voice messages and pictures, and cannot use high-speed network.”

“You’re right, but on the other hand, to use Starlink in the wild, you need a car or your home is in the wild, while with Huayao you just need to carry your phone with you, so the level of convenience is different.”

"That's true. The biggest advantage of smartphones is that they are portable. Unlike dedicated satellite phones, people really won't buy them unless they have a special need. There have even been cases where people bought satellite phones but forgot to bring them and then got into trouble in remote areas."

"Yes, there will be no more 'out of service area' in the future. You can contact us from anywhere. This is a great achievement."

“You’re right. Based on my understanding of Lu Yun, since Xingdou can be opened to Huayao, it’s very likely that the satellites in orbit have also met the requirements. Perhaps the Zhuhai Airshow next month will announce the opening of the high-speed network for trial operation?”

"should be……"

At the same time, many people also expressed their feelings in the official Bilibili live stream of Huayao's press conference.

[Congratulations to user B... who has chosen the phone!]

[Damn it! Why can't I get it? This is rigged!]

[Another person who never posts updates but just keeps retweeting giveaways]

[Nonsense, who uses Bilibili as their social media platform? What else would you share if not giveaways and giveaways?]

[I thought Huayao would have to give up the mobile phone business after being sanctioned by the US, but I didn't expect it to continue to innovate.]

Indeed, first there were foldable screen phones, and now they've integrated satellite network functionality. I really look forward to seeing what new tricks they'll come up with in the future.

[As expected, the companies sanctioned by the US are all quite capable. If they were to unite and cooperate, they could definitely achieve something big.]

It's a pity that Blue Star Aerospace doesn't manufacture lithography machines, otherwise they would truly be invincible.

[It's impossible to have it all. Lu Yun is already incredibly successful in the commercial aerospace field, surpassing the Americans; he's unlikely to go on to develop lithography machines and chips.]

【really!】

I heard that he was the one who proposed and participated in the research of the "Starry Sky" constellation; otherwise, our country would have lagged behind in this area for several years.

I wonder when we'll be able to connect to high-speed satellite networks directly from our phones. HuaYao's text messages, voice calls, and photos are still a bit lacking, equivalent to about 2G speed.

[Let's wait and see. I estimate that in another two or three years, with further development of mini satellite antennas for mobile phones, we'll be able to use satellite 3G networks. 3G will be here soon.]

[Perhaps we can wait for space-based internet satellites to develop further. It seems that Starlink's second-generation satellites will allow ordinary mobile phones to connect directly to satellite networks without needing any mini satellite antennas.]

I remember "Starry Sky" also had this plan...

The US sanctions against Huayao are not because its phones are good, and Huayao's core business is not making phones, but the most noticeable thing for ordinary people is phones!

After all, mobile phones are like "external organs" for many people, and they may develop strange illnesses if they are missing them.

Speaking of Americans, people in the US are focused on the third presidential debate today.

This debate garnered more attention than the previous two because the general election is just over ten days away. The sheer volume of attention caused a surge in revenue for online betting platforms offering predictions on who would be the next president. In particular, a huge number of people placed bets on the Golden Retriever in prediction contests about who would be the next president.

Judging from this alone, it seems like the golden retriever is going to be re-elected.

The 71st International Astronautical Congress was held from October 20th to 24th, but Lu Yun returned to China on the 23rd.

After all, as the company's boss and chief technology officer, he only needs to attend two important press conferences; he doesn't need to participate in the remaining smaller press conferences and reports.

Otherwise, what's the point of building such a large company?
It's all so that someone can help him with those trivial things.

However, the distance between China and the UAE is indeed too far, requiring eight or nine hours by plane, and using the internet on the plane is very inconvenient.

Although airlines will install satellite internet receivers on their planes in a couple of years, allowing passengers to use high-speed internet at will, the flight speed will not change.

Sitting in first class, gazing at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window, Lu Yun stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "It seems that intercontinental space flights that shorten travel time by passing through space are still very necessary. Flying across continents in a few tens of minutes is very tempting."

"Perhaps we can try it out once the UAE's spaceport is completed. The space shuttles they bought can take off directly from the coast, then travel through space and land in the UAE within tens of minutes..."

In fact, Lu Yun is capable of developing supersonic passenger planes similar to the Concorde and Tu-144, after all, he has the level 5 skill [Aerospace Engineering].

Space shuttles belong to the category of "spaceflight," while supersonic passenger planes belong to the category of "aviation."

Even after so many years of technological development, the aviation industry is actually capable of developing new supersonic passenger aircraft through technological integration.

Moreover, several aircraft manufacturing companies are already eager to make a move.

If they succeed, it may lead to a breakthrough in the aerospace field, from ordinary manned spacecraft to the "Crew Dragon" spacecraft.

If Lu Yun were to handle it, it could achieve a breakthrough from airplanes to space shuttles.

However, Lu Yun still did not choose supersonic passenger aircraft because the aviation field was "too mature" compared to the "immature" aerospace field.

"Too mature" means there are many rules. Researching supersonic passenger aircraft requires not only dealing with the rules of one's own country, but also the rules of other countries.

Leaving aside other preliminary research and parts specifications, there are also many problems after takeoff.

Regardless of whether it's supersonic or not, it still flies within the atmosphere, and flying within the atmosphere means passing through the airspace of other countries.

Spaceflight is different.

Anything above the ground is in space, so what airspace is that?
Furthermore, as one of the absolute leaders in the aerospace field, as long as the space shuttle does not land in the United States, other countries will have to proactively adapt to China's rules.

Just like some countries with underdeveloped space technology wanting to launch satellites, either they pay for it, and then the satellites are manufactured for them by countries with advanced space technology according to their own standards.

Either they build their own satellites according to the rocket launch standards of developed countries in aerospace technology, so that they can be launched into space by rockets.

In the field of civil aviation, there's no other way. When developed aviation countries were developing civil aviation, China was still very poor.

By the time China starts developing its own civilian aircraft, other countries will have already set the standards, and China's civilian aircraft development will have to follow those rules and regulations.

Fortunately, in the aerospace field, China itself is the one that sets the technical rules.

Just as Lu Yun open-sourced some of the reusable rocket technology, many countries that consider themselves to have good space technology are using Bluestar Aerospace's reusable rocket technology to develop their own reusable rockets.

This is already within the technical framework of the Chinese.
