This star is going to the moon

Chapter 532 Lu Yun has a little hobby, filming begins for "Going to Where the Wind Blows".

"It's difficult to handle."

"Yes, the Laos have space shuttles, so they can do that, but we don't."

When can the X-33 and X-37B be converted into manned mode? When can the Dream Chaser mini-space shuttle make its maiden flight?

"I don't know. There's no accurate information, and they keep applying for funding."

"Damn it, these companies have absolutely no sense of the Federation's difficulties!"

"How about... we send Old Deng to space on the Crew Dragon?"

"Damn it, old Deng is eighty years old. Do you want him to be the first president to die in space?"

"Huh?! It's not impossible..."

"..."

In high-level meetings in the US, the think tanks are arguing heatedly.

There's no other way, really no other way. After all, if there were a way, we wouldn't need to argue.

Moreover, they simply couldn't understand it, since the Federation's space technology was far ahead of others just a few years ago.

Especially after Elon Musk developed the reusable rocket, it became the best in the world.

Even if Lu Yun of the old Chinese later "copied" the reusable rocket, the Federation's space technology still "has the advantage over us".

Why did things turn so dire in just a few years?

They don't understand.

Over the years, federal agents have been quite active, but aside from boosting the performance of China's security agencies, they have only obtained some well-known information.

For example, Lu Yun played a very important role in the leapfrog development of aerospace technology between Laos and China.

As for other technological leaps, those industries may have produced big names, such as "Electromagnetic Manifestation True Lord" Ma Weimin.

It is also possible that the leap in aerospace technology that Lu Yun participated in had a spillover effect, leading to advancements in technology in other industries.

Just like the "Star Wars" program back then.

The "Star Wars" program was actually called the "Strategic Defense Program".

In the early 1980s, the two superpowers were at a balance in both the quantity and quality of their strategic nuclear weapons, leading to a dead end in the arms race. Therefore, the Federation proposed the "High Frontier" strategy.

The main objective of this strategy is to leverage the Federation’s high-tech advantages to establish a space weapon system, providing a space defense against strategic nuclear attacks in order to eliminate the growing nuclear threat posed by the Great Bear.

At the same time, we are accelerating the development of the space industry to obtain the abundant resources of outer space.

Because this program was primarily based in space, it was called the "Star Wars" program.

In terms of strategic defense, this plan is a multi-layered space defense plan with outer space as its main base, consisting of global surveillance, early warning and identification systems, interception systems, and command, control and communication systems.

In terms of high technology, it is a high-tech cluster that includes rocket technology, aerospace technology, high-energy laser technology, microelectronics technology, computer technology, and so on.

Its core content is to attack enemy intercontinental strategic missiles and spacecraft in outer space by various means in order to prevent hostile countries from launching nuclear strikes against the Federation and its allies.

The entire defense strategy has roughly four phases, the first of which is the boost phase defense phase.

Since the missile's flight time from booster ignition to atmospheric reentry typically lasts 3 to 5 minutes, and it releases a large amount of hot gas that produces strong infrared or visible light, it is easily detected.

Therefore, the defense system must detect the missile launch point, missile type, and control center in a timely manner and quickly destroy the missile's booster.

Defense during this phase is crucial because the missile releases several warheads during the later stages of its boost, including decoys for the reentry vehicle, which greatly increases the difficulty of subsequent defense phases.

Therefore, destroying a missile at this stage is equivalent to destroying several warheads and hundreds of decoys in the subsequent defense phase, which is cost-effective.

Based on this calculation, each anti-missile satellite can destroy more than 100 missiles, with a destruction rate of up to 99%!

The second stage is more difficult, and this stage usually lasts for 6 minutes.

During this phase, the missile carrier will release multiple warheads that fly toward different targets, and reentry vehicles, decoys, and other auxiliary penetration equipment will also be released at this time.

They fly along the ballistic trajectory by inertia, breaking through the atmosphere and heading towards their target.

This defensive phase uses land-based or ship-based laser weapons to destroy any warheads that slip through the net, with a theoretically calculated destruction rate of up to 90%.

The third stage is more difficult because the missile's flight time is about 10 to 15 minutes, and there are many warheads, some real and some fake.

The defensive strategy plan uses electromagnetic railguns or ground-launched laser weapons and other non-nuclear anti-missile weapons to destroy targets by collision, with a required hit rate of over 90%.

The fourth stage is the last defensive opportunity. At this point, the warheads have only a few minutes left to reach the target. Anti-missile missiles, kinetic energy weapons, particle beams, and other weapons can be used to destroy all the remaining warheads, with a hit rate of over 90%.

If the requirements of theoretical calculations can be met, the overall interception rate against incoming missiles can reach as high as 99.999%.

In this way, the Federation is essentially safe, no longer needing to worry about perishing together with its opponent in a nuclear war.

Besides missiles, anti-satellite programs are also an integral part of strategic defense systems.

This means using the surveillance system of a space base to monitor enemy satellites and, when necessary, directing space-based or land-based directed energy weapon systems to destroy enemy satellites.

Because satellites play an irreplaceable role in surveillance, early warning, communication, and navigation, an important task of the Federal Strategic Defense System is to disable the enemy's satellites.

Fortunately, the space environment is an excellent scenario for the use of laser weapons.

However, everyone knows that the "Star Wars" program was not a simple military strategic defense plan, because after it was declassified, everyone discovered that... it was a strategic deception plan.

Given the technology available to the Americans at the time, there were many things they simply couldn't do.

So once Old Bear died, the US immediately abandoned this half-finished strategic plan.

Historically, several federal defense strategic plans have not only played a vital role in strengthening national defense, but have also served to promote the economy.

Although the "Star Wars" program was unsuccessful, it did cost some money and produced some finished or semi-finished products.

The implementation of this plan has spurred the development of a large number of high-tech clusters, in order to maintain the Federation's leading position in the economy, military, science and technology, and other fields.

From a local perspective, the "Star Wars" program is a high-tech defense and economic development strategy, while from a holistic perspective, it is a comprehensive national strategy.

The same principle applies to China's massive space program, centered around Lu Yun. However, China's space program, which includes a manned lunar landing, is for real, and all the technologies involved have been successfully implemented. The resulting development of high-tech clusters is even more impressive than the "Star Wars" program!

Therefore, the conclusion of the federal intelligence and technology department is that Lu Yun is no less important to contemporary Chinese people than Dean Qian was to the Chinese people back then.

Decades ago, the Federation tried every means to obstruct Qian's return to China, but in the end, they still managed to get him to return. Now, Lu Yun has grown up entirely in China, so it's difficult for the Federation to cause any trouble.

Of course, Simon's undercover mission was highly classified, and not just anyone had the right to know.

So someone suggested, "Since our problem is difficult to solve, why don't we just eliminate Lu Yun directly?"

"That's right. The reason we're in such a passive position right now isn't because our space program is progressing too slowly, but because China is moving too fast. Lu Yun is the powerful engine driving China's space program. So as long as we break its engine, we can definitely take the lead again!"

"That's exactly right. Although this plan can't speed things up, it can make the Chinese stop!"

"Theoretically, it's possible, but how can we take him down smoothly without the Chinese knowing it was us?"

"Uh, that probably won't work. After all, we're too suspicious. Even if someone else killed Lu Yun, the Chinese will definitely suspect it was us."

"That's true, but we have some dirty tricks up our sleeves. On the surface, they're connected to Europa, Xiong Da, the Chaotic Desert, and Xiao Rizi. Maybe we can take action against them?"

"It would be best to be people from humble backgrounds. They look similar to the Chinese, making it easier for them to blend in. Besides, the two countries have a feud, so it wouldn't be surprising if people from humble backgrounds did something extreme. After all, they just killed Jin Sansang on the street, so what they did would definitely clear them of suspicion."

"Yes, yes, that's right. And it will be relatively easier for us to target Lu Yun because he is different from Qian, who was under strict protection decades ago. Lu Yun has a little hobby, which is filming TV dramas. We have learned that he will be participating in the filming of a new TV series soon, and the filming will last for several months. This period may be our opportunity."

“That’s right. I’ve visited Hollywood film and television shooting locations and I know how complicated they are. It’s easy to find security loopholes in those places.”

"Yes, yes, this is definitely God helping us. We would be letting God down if we didn't do something!"

"Are we really going to do this? What if the Chinese don't provide any evidence and are determined to fight us to the death?"

“Yes, if the Federation had finally produced a super genius and he died like that, we would absolutely go crazy.”

"What did that Great Emperor Xiong Da say again? He said that if countries were gone, then the world would have no meaning to exist. Who knows, the old Chinese might also have the idea of ​​destroying the world."

"Probably not, Chinese people are usually very mild-mannered, probably not?"

"It's hard to say. The Chinese people today are different from those of the past. We are holding this meeting because of the Chinese declaration on space."

"Huh? I really didn't know about the Chinese space declaration. I just came because I heard there was going to be a meeting..."

Although they were full of passion when they discussed it, they were a little apprehensive when it came to actually carrying it out.

After all, China and Laos are not weak countries and cannot be easily manipulated.

They were really going to do it, and they even had an alibi planned, but when they thought about making a move on the Chinese side, they had to think it over carefully.

At the very least, we should ask other departments and consult with the White House.

Fortunately, they had several months to prepare, so they weren't in a hurry.

Meanwhile, in Laos and China, the atmosphere has become much more enthusiastic since the space declaration defined the country's development and diplomatic direction.

The main benefits were increased technological confidence and productivity among the people of Laos and China, and enhanced the country's high-tech management and operational capabilities.

It has also inspired young people's interest in fields such as science, technology, aerospace, engineering, and mathematics, creating a social atmosphere of technological innovation and exploration.

It has driven long-term economic growth in China, enhanced the competitiveness of the science and technology industry, and laid the foundation for the large-scale commercialization of the space industry in the future.

Externally, it has promoted more international cooperation, driven a global space boom and popular science movement, and enhanced the global geopolitical status of Laos and China.

It evokes a feeling reminiscent of the successful Apollo manned moon landing program of the last century.

Coincidentally, China is currently working on a manned lunar landing program, and it is definitely more influential than the one the US did in the last century.

After all, today's ultra-high-definition live streaming is incomparable to what it used to be; it's absolutely superior in terms of providing visual evidence.

The space declaration is just a "prologue"; there's more to come.

The progress made by Laos and China in various aspects proves that this is the right thing to do. It has attracted the international attention that was projected by the space declaration, and a large number of foreigners have begun to come to travel, visit and search.

They discovered that their previous understanding of the Chinese was inadequate, or even wrong, so they wanted to find out the truth for themselves.

As a result, videos and topics related to "real Chinese people" on foreign websites began to surge!
In Lu Yun's experience, this was even more popular than during the peak of the visa-free transit boom in his previous life.

After all, with his involvement in this life, one exciting thing after another has happened, and the popularity of Lao Zhong is much greater than the "natural progression" of the previous life.

This will make those countries that constantly slander China in the news feel uncomfortable.

While they were suffering, Lu Yun did not accelerate the advancement of the space program, but instead began his own "vacation".

That is, he started pursuing his own "hobby"—acting!
"Go to the Windy Place" is a TV series with an overall tone somewhat similar to the variety show "Back to Field".

It emphasizes a "slow" pace, and many of the storylines seem very ordinary.

To some extent, it is in sync with the rhythm of life in rural society and the gradual psychological changes of the protagonist.

An Fangfei plays Xu Hongdou, whose life and work have hit a low point because of the death of her best friend. So she goes to the "Windy Courtyard" in Yunmiao Village in Yunnan to rest and recuperate.

There, she met a local who had quit his high-paying job to start a business in his hometown, Xie Zhiyao, played by Lu Yun.

At the same time, there is also a group of peers who came from big cities.

During their daily interactions, Xie Zhiyao sensed Xu Hongdou's kindness and earnestness, and invited her to use her years of experience in the hotel industry to help improve the service awareness of local employees and contribute to the development of cultural tourism in Yunmiao Village.

At the same time, Xu Hongdou was also moved by Xie Zhiyao's ideal of building up his hometown so that the villagers could have a place to use their youth and a place to rely on in their old age.

Eventually, the two developed feelings for each other and got together.

In the "Windy Courtyard," Xu Hongdou and the other tenants were moved by the diligence and resilience of the local villagers and their bittersweet lives. They re-examined their past, helped and inspired each other, and in the windy place, they sorted out their feelings and gained strength to start anew.

As an urban drama or a slice-of-life drama, Lu Yun and An Fangfei's appearances are very casual, almost no different from their usual attire.

After all, both of them are so good-looking and have such great charisma that they can make even the most ordinary everyday clothes look fashionable.

Of course, at the very beginning of the story, An Fangfei had to wear the uniform of a hotel lobby manager.

Later, after the two confirmed their relationship, An Fangfei even wore a uniform and gave Lu Yun a scene of uniform seduction.

The two of them thought the script was...great!
