This star is going to the moon

Chapter 66 Plagiarism and Thanks to Ma Shengkaiyuan

Our own reusable rocket, listen to Lu Yun!

my country's first liquid reusable rocket that replaces solid rockets - Wan Hu!

Would Wan Hu, more than 600 years ago, dream of today's rockets?

Benchmarking the Falcon 9—Wanhu Rocket!

When the news of the "Wanhu Rocket" came out, ordinary people were confused for a while, and then they understood what was going on after watching the news.

After all, rockets are still a little bit away from the lives of ordinary people. However, the handsome guy explaining the PPT looks familiar.

"Oh, isn't this that Lu Yun? He's in the news again. This star is quite popular."

On the other hand, people who are more interested in aerospace were a little surprised.

When SpaceX first started developing reusable rockets, everyone was pessimistic.

Some people in China think that only domestic aerospace experts are pessimistic, and then use this to prove the ignorance and backwardness of the country.

In fact, neither the American aerospace experts nor the European Space Agency's aerospace experts are optimistic.

And just because it is "not optimistic" does not mean that it cannot be achieved.

Of course, it is actually the old aerospace thinking that has been inertial for many years.

They believe that only dozens of rockets are launched every year in the world, and the number of times distributed to each country is only a dozen or twenty times. Some countries even launch only a few times a year. Is it necessary to recover them?

It turns out there was no such demand.

But you can create that demand!
SpaceX's boss, Elon Musk, directly proposed a "Starlink" plan that requires 1.2 satellites, with the aim of allowing even the most remote places in the world to have access to cheap and convenient networks.

Later, the "Starlink" project increased the number to 4.2!

And two experimental satellites will be launched into space next month.

This thing must use reusable rockets, using disposable rockets will result in huge losses.

When the Falcon 9 rocket became reusable and even successfully launched a used rocket, many industry insiders and enthusiasts realized the importance of reusable rockets.

The national level has become more aware of the seriousness of 4.2 satellites crowding low-Earth orbit.

That really involves national strategy!

I was wondering when China would have its own reusable rocket, or if the project was launched now, it would be produced within a few years. But today I saw the news about the "Wanhu Rocket"!

"Wan Hu? Sounds familiar."

"Isn't that the guy in ancient times who tied fireworks to a chair and tried to fly into the sky but ended up falling to his death?"

"Good boy, is this a lucky name?"

"It's auspicious and has great commemorative and tribute significance. There's an impact crater on the moon that was named the 'Wanhu' impact crater in the 1970s."

"Oh my goodness, is this true?"

"Really? The lunar crater and this rocket are real. Even the Wan Hu rocket's engine has been built and successfully hot-tested!"

"Awesome! This is too fast! Could it be that the national team has taken action?"

"I don't know. The news said it was a private aerospace company, but the employees came from various aerospace research institutes."

"Then isn't this roughly equivalent to the national team?"

"Are you stupid? Besides the students on campus, all the aerospace talent must be in the major aerospace research institutes. We can only recruit them from there. We can't ask you to develop rockets, right?"

"Who cares? As long as it's a reusable rocket... Wow, with a mass of 350 tons, a diameter of 3.35 meters, and a carrying capacity of 14 tons, this is definitely a smaller Falcon !"

"Indeed, the rocket body is smaller, and its takeoff mass and carrying capacity are about 60% of the Falcon 's capabilities."

"But isn't their timeline a bit radical? The news says the Wanhu rocket could be launched by the end of this year!"

"Good boy, so radical..."

"Haha, copying the Falcon 9 rocket is naturally faster. Everyone can copy. Domestic technology companies can't change this habit. Everything they do is copied from abroad. It's disgusting!"

"That's right, thanks to Ma Shengkaiyuan, otherwise the Wanhu Rocket wouldn't have appeared so quickly!" "?"

The pleasant chat atmosphere ended immediately.

In fact, this type of people are just like the extreme fans of traffic stars. They worship the person who is constantly deified in their hearts and even become detached from the person himself.

So when the extreme fans of those traffic stars saw such news, they became extremely excited and immediately joined the fan group to share it.

[Girls, don't panic, this time Lu Yun will definitely fail because the rocket he introduced is plagiarized! ]

[Ah, so he's a plagiarist. According to the entertainment industry's advertising endorsement system, if there are problems with the product they endorse, the celebrity will also be implicated. Then he will be suppressed immediately and wait for the lawsuit!]

[Haha, this is hilarious! I also heard that the "Wan Hu" character was originally a person in ancient times who was tied to fireworks and was about to fall to his death from the sky. Using such a name for a rocket is because they think the rocket explodes too slowly?]

[I also heard that the Wanhu rocket was plagiarized from the open-source work of a foreign aerospace company, Ma Sheng. They even said that they had deliberately opened up the Chinese information, and then they plagiarized it!]

[Ah, is that so? 】

[Of course it is. Foreigners are so kind. They specifically provided open-source Chinese information to you in a friendly way so that you can learn. But you just plagiarized it...]

【…】

As they were chatting, some people felt something was wrong. The people in this fan group... seemed to have some problems with their IQ.

Is it really okay for me to stay in such a group?
Hiss, was I like this before? !

The world is chaotic, with both positive and negative aspects, but most people are relatively... normal.

Some people analyzed: After all, the United States is a developed country with the largest GDP. It is the only superpower in the world and a pole of the world!
Their medical care is free, and the medical insurance group does not make any profit but is committed to keeping people healthy. People love the medical insurance group and greet the CEO of the medical insurance group enthusiastically when they see them on the street.

Their schooling is free, and everyone is a top engineer and scientist, so it's normal for them to be able to build the Falcon 9 rocket.

And you can easily earn $10,000 a month by working just seven hours a day. Capitalists don't dare let people work overtime. Fried chicken only costs one dollar, which is very happy.

Those lying on the street are not homeless people, but people with developed spiritual world who don't care about material conditions.

China is a developing country, so it is normal for it to learn from other countries' technology and develop a smaller Falcon 9 rocket. It can just catch up slowly in the future.

Anyway, when the Americans first started out, they also copied... uh, borrowed technology from the British Empire.

………………

In order to ensure the smooth maiden flight of the Wanhu rocket, which is even more radical than the "radical" schedule publicized in the news, Lu Yun is indeed very busy leading the team to do technical research, but he also finds time to go online.

After all, he is a young man and a star, and he needs to pay attention to information related to himself.

But as a reborn person, he was indeed a little overwhelmed after seeing some of the information.

Yu Xingchen beside him asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm not laughing at anything," Lu Yun said, pursing his lips, "I just remembered some happy things."

Yu Xingchen: “?”

But Lu Yun thought about it again, and realized that the American people did greet the medical insurance CEO warmly.

He also has to thank Ma Shengkaiyuan for some of his knowledge of aerospace engineering.

Although Ma Sheng has never actively released the source, nor will he only release the Chinese source, many things actually lack the first person to blaze a trail.

As long as a road is walked through by someone, it will be much easier for those who come after to learn to walk on it.

This is also a kind of open source.

But Lu Yun was grateful to Ma Sheng in his previous life, as for this life...

It's not certain who is faster and who is slower.

Lu Yun glanced at his aerospace engineering grade again.

Aerospace Engineering Level 4 (9217/10000)

"It's coming soon..."
