Chapter 364: A Vision for An Fangfei to Play "Asuka"; Long March 10 Rocket to Test Fly Next February

Although Simon's mission is only aimed at Lu Yun, it is within a larger mission system, and this larger mission is aimed at the entire Lao Zhong.

So even though the idea came from a NASA conference room, the people there were either from the aerospace or intelligence systems, none of whom had anything to do with movies.

But if they really want to influence the film system, there are plenty of ways to do so.

The phrase "We suspect you of threatening federal security" is quite a sour one.

Moreover, Hollywood has always had close ties with the US intelligence and military systems; otherwise, where would the armies featured in those military and science fiction movies come from?

Furthermore, Hollywood movies are a very powerful tool for cultural export, constantly exporting American ideas to the world.

Some countries can still resist, while others have long been stuffed into puff pastry.

With the help of such tools, the US intelligence system can also operate effectively in other countries.

Previously, Hollywood strictly resisted Chinese films. Even when Chinese films were released in North America, apart from a few small theaters with ties to China, the major theaters simply did not show them.

This was to resist the cultural invasion of the Laos and China.

However, this time, for the sake of a bigger plan, perhaps we can loosen the restrictions a bit, or even provide an assist.

Of course, there is still a lot of time to plan this. Sci-fi blockbusters are difficult to shoot, and post-production is even more difficult.

They also need to assess Simon's work during this period, and if all goes well, then they will move forward with the new plan.

If things don't go well, then just leave it alone.

After discussing the matter, the people in the office began to focus on the opening ceremony of the Zhuhai Airshow.

The Zhuhai Airshow, which is popular in China and abroad, is not just about aerospace; it has long since developed into a comprehensive exhibition, featuring not only air force and aerospace equipment but also army and navy equipment.

Therefore, they need to keep a close eye on it.

"I wonder if Lu Yun will announce at this exhibition that China's aerospace authorities are also buyers of the 'Wooden Kite' class space shuttle. If so, then it won't be long before China acquires a space fighter."

“That’s right. If it’s only used by Blue Star Aerospace, then it’s most likely just a civilian spacecraft, and it would be the same even if it were sold to the UAE. But it’s a different story if it’s sold to China’s aerospace authorities.”

"That's right, the evil old China has been expanding its military and preparing for war, and has always wanted to launch wars against other countries. As the world's policeman, we absolutely cannot allow it."

"Sigh, if it weren't for the strategic misjudgment back then, the Navy wouldn't have proposed the 'sea-to-land' plan, nor would it have wasted money on the Zumwalt destroyer. As a result, we are now lagging behind in advanced surface warships."

"That's right, the Chinese 'Blade Sea' class large destroyers are indeed something we didn't expect. Fortunately, we have enough aircraft carriers and an air force advantage. It's said that the sixth-generation fighter jet has already been test-flown?"

"Uh, the sixth-generation fighter jet has a very high level of secrecy, so I can't say."

"I understand, then it really exists. The Federation's aviation technology is indeed unparalleled!"

"..."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about confidential information anymore. Let's focus on the opening ceremony of the Zhuhai Airshow..."

………………

Laos and Chinese, Zhuhai International Airshow Center.

The 13th Zhuhai Airshow opened on November 14 and will last for five days, with the first three days being professional days and the last two days being public days.

Lu Yun only asked Guo Fan for one day off this time, because he attended the opening ceremony in the morning, and after the opening ceremony, he went to the Aerospace Museum to attend the press conference of the Space Administration. In the afternoon, he attended the press conference of Bluestar Aerospace itself.

The press conference was scheduled for one day, so he only needed to take one day off. The opening ceremony was held in the square, and Lu Yun's position allowed him to see the fighter jets on display in the distance, so he watched the entire event.

Lu Yun remembered that in his previous life, the 003 large flat-plate electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier had undergone several sea trials in 24 years. The carrier-based aircraft used for catapult launches were also showcased at the Zhuhai Airshow that year, which greatly excited military enthusiasts.

However, some military enthusiasts were quite strange; they actually brought photos of Asuka from "EVA" to the site to take pictures.

(Net map)
This made Lu Yun lose his composure instantly.

The military equipment in "EVA" is a classic hodgepodge, with Soviet-made Flanker fighters mounted on American nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

In reality, the Americans couldn't possibly accomplish it, and the Soviet Union... was long dead.

The Chinese made it happen!

The catapult-launched J-15T fighter jet is also a member of the "Flanker" family. And now that China has a large flat-plate catapult-launched aircraft carrier, military enthusiasts who also like "EVA" are even more excited.

Unfortunately, the Zhuhai Aerospace event only lasts for five days, and most military enthusiasts don't have girlfriends, let alone the opportunity to buy tickets and have their girlfriends dress up as Asuka.

So I can only use a picture as a substitute.

Lu Yun, however, rolled his eyes.

He's a bit of a military enthusiast and also a long-time anime fan, and he really likes "EVA," otherwise he wouldn't have been so flustered after seeing the photos.

Perhaps at the Zhuhai Airshow in 2024 or 2025, he could have An Fangfei dress up as Asuka for him.

Even four years from now, Lu Yun's status in China will definitely be even more prestigious. He might even be able to take An Fangfei to the 003 aircraft carrier for a photo shoot, which would be even more awesome.

Other military enthusiasts will be envious then!

hey~
Of course, in order to gain a more prestigious position four years later, Lu Yun prepared very seriously for the space agency press conference.

When the topic turned to the new heavy-lift rocket under development, Lu Yun took the stage.

"Hello everyone, I am the chief designer of the Long March 10 rocket. Now I will introduce the development status of the Long March 10 rocket..."

As he spoke, Lu Yun released a rendering of the bare-rod type of the Long March 10 rocket.

(The actual images do not show the lunar landing versions or the manned version with the escape tower; only the cargo version is shown.)

"The latest data for the bare-rod version of the Long March 10 rocket is 70 meters high, with a two-stage configuration and a core stage diameter of 5 meters."

"Its takeoff mass is 750 tons, and it is powered by seven modified liquid oxygen and kerosene engines, with a total takeoff thrust of 1050 tons."

"Its total near-Earth orbit carrying capacity is 31.5 tons, and its recovered capacity is 25 tons, so in the recovered state it covers the current near-Earth orbit carrying capacity of the Long March 5."

"However, because the Long March 10 uses liquid oxygen and kerosene for its second stage to improve uniformity and convenience, instead of the liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen second stage of the Long March 5, its high-orbit payload capacity is smaller."

"However, as long as the Long March 10 is equipped with the Long March 5's high-orbit carrying capacity in its recovery mode, it can cover the carrying capacity of the Long March 5."

"The Long March 10 rocket has completed its development process and is currently undergoing testing, so we are confident that it will make its maiden flight in February next year!"

"Furthermore, due to new technological changes in my country's manned space program, the bare-rod manned mode of the Long March 10 has been cancelled after careful consideration..."

Upon hearing this, the audience couldn't hold back their laughter.

What new technological changes are occurring in the field of manned spaceflight?
