This star is going to the moon

Chapter 70 There is someone above me

The next day, when the news about Tianding Pressure Vessel Company came out, Lu Yun notified Yu Xingchen.

"Look at this. The problem with the thin and light common bottom tank has been solved."

Yu Xingchen was a little dumbfounded when he saw the news.

"?"

He was puzzled. "That's not right. The news just came out today, and the technology was only broken through last night. How did you know that?"

Lu Yun shrugged indifferently: "Because I have someone above me."

Unexpectedly, Lu Yun just said it casually, but Yu Xingchen actually believed it.

Because Lu Yun does have someone above him.

Apart from Academician Ye, who is “not a teacher but better than a teacher and student”, there are also several other academicians in other fields.

Moreover, after the "Golden Toad" lunar rover, which was a trial work of Lu Yun's "Technology Integration Theory", spent its first moonlit night, the higher-ups took notice of Lu Yun and his "Technology Integration Theory".

Since then, many people in the industry have begun to discuss the "industrial survey" action proposed by Lu Yun, and some have even started to conduct small-scale surveys based on their own connections.

When Blue Star Aerospace, which had been established for less than a year, successfully produced the first 70-ton thrust reusable liquid oxygen-kerosene rocket engine, and other systems of the Wanhu rocket were also progressing steadily and rapidly, the authorities mobilized national channels to start a small-scale industrial survey.

It’s nothing else but Lu Yun’s achievement by combining his new theory with practice!
Of course, although both are small-scale, the "small-scale network" of an individual and the small-scale network of the state apparatus are different.

The technologies available on the market that BlueStar Aerospace retrieves are actually considered to be on a "small scale" because many of them are not public.

So it is possible that Lu Yun was able to obtain this information because he found Tianding Company during the industrial survey, and then Lu Yun obtained the information through some channels.

Lu Yun didn't expect Yu Xingchen to believe it so easily.

But it doesn't matter. He originally planned to fool Yu Xingchen by saying that this was the "technical breakthrough point" he calculated through the "technical integration theory" combined with the actual speed of technological development.

After all, Lu Yun is now an expert in "Technology Integration Theory", and his mathematics skill level has been upgraded to level 5 along with his aerospace engineering level, so it is not difficult for him to establish a rough mathematical model.

It just takes a lot of computing resources to calculate these things.

Now he doesn't have to explain anymore.

"Then I'll leave the contact for technical authorization and equipment purchase to you. I have an appointment, so I'll be leaving first."

Yu Xingchen had no objection to the assigned work, but he became excited when he heard the latter part.

"Remember to take a shower, change your clothes, shave, and dress up. Don't be as casual on a date with Mr. An as you are on a job here!"

"It's just a dinner date, what kind of date..."

"Hey, how could I not understand this? I've been through it all, unlike you who's still single!"

Yu Xingchen pushed Lu Yun out: "Go, go, take a shower and change clothes."

"..."

Lu Yun solved the technical problems of the Wanhu rocket, and the flight trajectory of the car launched into space on the first flight of the "Heavy Falcon" was indeed deviated, from the predetermined target Mars orbit to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Everyone has a bright future.

But this is not important. After all, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this car is like a lump of iron in space and it is impossible for it to fly into the orbit of Mars.

If it were that simple, humans would have settled on the moon and landed on Mars long ago.

However, the Falcon Heavy's advancement of humanity's low-Earth orbit payload capacity to over 60 tons was a hot topic. After being dropped off at the restaurant by his driver, Lu Yun overheard two middle-aged men discussing something, so he followed them out of curiosity to listen.

"...I saw online that the previous low-Earth orbit payload capacity was only about 20 tons, and our country's Long March 60 was ranked second. It has suddenly increased to over tons, which is amazing."

"Yes, the Americans are really powerful. It seems that the SLS rocket that will make its maiden flight next year is even more powerful and can carry over 100 tons."

"I've also read some popular science. That big rocket is used to carry people to the moon. If it makes its first flight next year, wouldn't it mean that after a few experiments, it will be able to carry people to the moon by the year after next?"

"The year after next? In 2020? I don't think it will be that soon. The Americans respect life and human rights very much. They will definitely conduct strict tests and wait until there are no problems before they put people on board. So I estimate they will conduct a manned lunar landing in 2021..."

Lu Yun, who was standing behind them, couldn't stand listening any longer. He quickly walked past them and said casually as he passed them, "The Falcon Heavy won't be able to launch a payload of over 60 tons into low Earth orbit. That's just a theoretical value. Its structure isn't designed to launch something that heavy. It's more likely to launch something over or tons into high Earth orbit."

"Also, the SLS rocket's first flight will only have a payload capacity of several dozen tons, and later models will be optimized to have a payload capacity of over 100 tons. However, it won't launch anything that heavy into low-Earth orbit, so this is just theoretical data."

"Also, the SLS rocket will definitely not make its maiden flight next year. It will have to wait until at least 2022."

"As for manned lunar landing, let's wait and see~"

The two middle-aged men were very unhappy to find someone interrupting them, but seeing that Lu Yun was tall and strong in a black down jacket and a mask, they didn't say anything.

Lu Yun ignored them and quickly walked into the restaurant.

The two middle-aged men watched him leave before saying disdainfully, "Tsk, you're just an ignorant youngster. You have no idea how advanced the technology is on the other side of the ocean."

"That's right, I guess they've never been abroad and haven't seen the world..."

Lu Yun, who hadn't walked far yet, rolled his eyes speechlessly when he heard this.

Have you never opened your eyes to see the world?
He, Lu Yun, has also seen the world for several years in the future!
Although the world line in this life is constantly changing, Lu Yun believes in Boeing's capabilities.

The SLS large rocket it designed and manufactured will only be delayed and will definitely not fly ahead of schedule.

His mood improved when the waiter led him to the box and met An Fangfei.

This is a relatively high-end restaurant and the quality of the waiters is guaranteed, so he took off his mask after entering the private room.

But no matter how good the waiter's quality was, he was still surprised to see such a handsome guy, and then recognized him.

The result was another surprise!
An Fangfei and Lu Yun were actually dating in private!
Fortunately, the quality of the waiters here is really high. I suppressed my gossipy mentality and went out to serve the dishes.

An Fangfei was also very happy to see Lu Yun. She took out the souvenir she brought back and handed it to him.

"Don't tell me I don't miss you when I'm out there, I bought you this special Parisian souvenir fridge magnet."

“Although it’s not expensive, only 100 euros, the artistic value is very high. They are all handmade by local artists and are limited edition, so they are hard to find.”

Lu Yun took it and looked at it, then pursed his lips and asked, "Did you see the artist make it by hand with your own eyes?"

"Not really," An Fangfei said, holding her face in her hands. "Artists are very busy. This was consigned to the art shop after they finished it."

Lu Yun tried to hold back, but couldn't help it.

"Don't buy it anymore. You've been ripped off. You can buy a lot of it in the country for 100 euros."

An Fangfei frowned upon hearing this. "Of course it's cheaper to buy it in China, but this isn't made in China. It doesn't have the "Made in China" label..."

"Made in PRC actually means domestically produced. The main reason is that this abbreviation is not commonly used and many people don't know it."
