Chapter 90: Far Ahead, Wanhu Rocket Competition (Subscribe)
Why isn't my brother's film nominated for the Hundred Flowers Awards, and why isn't his name listed for Best Actor?

[Sister, this is a "film award," not a "movie flop list." Your brother's movies all flopped, how could he possibly be on the nominee list?]

[Impossible. My brother's movie is rich in content, full of flesh and blood, and full of laughter and tears. The sisters who have seen it all say it is a good movie and recommend it with at least a 9.5 point score.]

[…What should I say? Keep going.]

[I don't know about the others, but Rowoon has definitely secured a nomination for 'Best Supporting Actor'. He's way ahead in the vote count!]

[Indeed, Rowan is incredibly popular right now, his name is everywhere. Plus, "Wolf Warrior 2" grossed 58 billion yuan, and a huge audience has seen it. Everyone can see Rowan's acting is great, so there's nothing wrong with voting for him.]

This year's Hundred Flowers Awards will likely be a showdown between "Operation Red Sea" and "Wolf Warrior 2," as the two films share several awards...

Although Lu Yun has been busy with the maiden flight of the Wanhu rocket, Liu Chun and Jing Ge both told him about the list of candidates for the Hundred Flowers Awards, so he asked Yan Xinxin to edit a Weibo post to call on fans to vote.

Lu Yun had some memories of his previous life at this year's Hundred Flowers Awards. It seemed that "Operation Red Sea" won a lot of awards, while "Wolf Warrior 2" only won one award.

In addition, the person who was nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" in "Wolf Warrior 2" through voting in the previous life was Zhang Hanhai, so the final winner was no surprise... it was someone else.

The final judges of the Hundred Flowers Awards are not professional judges, but 101 audience members who are randomly selected through answering questions, writing articles, and expressing their opinions on film and television to act as temporary judges. The judges will be replaced in the next session, so the final selection results are theoretically fair.

But the reason why it is only theoretical is because there are too many things involved and it is impossible to be fair.

As a result, the credibility of many film awards, both domestic and foreign, has become increasingly poor, and they have been described by many viewers as "fake awards."

So Lu Yun didn’t take the Hundred Flowers Award seriously. If they wanted to give it to him, he would give it to them. If they didn’t, he would just play with himself.

Lu Yun concentrated on preparing for the first flight of the Wanhu rocket.

Not only is the Blue Star Aerospace team busy, but the entire Dongfeng Space City is also busy.

Both old and young people in the field of space exploration are discussing this.

"I originally thought the first private rocket to fly here would be Deep Blue Arrow's Redbird-1 solid-fuel rocket. After all, it was developed earlier and the launch site was built earlier. I didn't expect it to be such a big rocket that came from behind!"

"Yeah, this Blue Star Aerospace is like a cheat. Just over a year after its establishment, they've already developed a rocket. And it's a massive liquid-recoverable rocket with a takeoff mass of 350 tons. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes in the technical workshop, I wouldn't have believed it!"

"Lu Yun is truly amazing. I've read his 'Technology Integration Theory', and since I work with 3.35-meter diameter rockets every day, I'm thinking of starting my own company to build rockets."

"That's right, it's really unreasonable to call him a genius. Lu Yun is not only handsome, but also has such advanced aerospace engineering technology. He is just like those early strategic scientists of our country!"

"I think it's a shame for Lu Yun to be a celebrity. If he could settle down and focus on aerospace technology, he might actually become a strategic-level scientist when he's older."

"Ahem, let's not talk about strategy for us screwdrivers, aerospace technicians. At least Lu Yun actually led the team to build a large rocket, and it's reusable..."

But they soon realized a problem.

Yes, the Wanhu rocket is reusable. If it is as successful as Ma Yilong’s Falcon 9 rocket on the other side of the ocean, then will these aerospace technicians who screw the screws be unemployed?

After all, after the success of Falcon 9, many launch orders from there were given to it. As its launch speed becomes faster and faster, in a few years it will be able to launch hundreds of launches a year, and will almost take up all the launch orders from the United States.

It even has to take up a large number of launch orders from other countries.

The Wanhu rocket is not as powerful as the Falcon 14, but its low-Earth orbit carrying capacity of 10.6 tons of full ejection and tons of recovery can almost cover most of the country's rocket carrying capacity!
Of course, it is definitely not as good as the Long March 5, but the Long March 5 has very few missions. It would be great if it could be launched two or three times a year in the future.

The Long March 2 series, Long March 3 series and Long March 4 series are the main launch forces in China.

More than 40 of the 30 launch targets this year are of these types.

"Ghost, I did some calculations. Not to mention the 14-ton carrying capacity of the Wanhu rocket when fully launched, even the 10-ton capacity in the recovered state already covers the carrying capacity of the second, third, and fourth series rockets. Furthermore, the second, third, and fourth series are all 'toxic rockets' that the country has long wanted to phase out. Now, the non-toxic, pollution-free, and inexpensive Wanhu rocket has appeared..."

"No, the Wanhu rocket's high-orbit capacity is even worse than the Long March 3B. As the country's most important 'poisonous rocket', the Long March 3B is still more prestigious."

"That's actually possible. Just stuff the cheapest Yuanzheng-1 upper stage 'space shuttle' into the fairing of the Wanhu rocket. Then, the Wanhu rocket's high-orbit capacity in a recovered state will match that of the Long March 3B rocket, and at a much lower cost."

"So, could the Chang'e-4 probe at the end of the year even be launched using the Wanhu rocket, even in recovery mode?" "Probably not. The Chang'e-4 mission is a major one, and it shouldn't be launched by a new rocket. Furthermore, the Wanhu rocket isn't even compatible with the Yuanzheng-1 upper stage yet. The rocket we just mentioned requires a long time to demonstrate and test."

"Well, the easiest thing to accomplish is probably for Wanhu Rocket to use an old rocket that has been recovered several times in full-throw mode to carry out Long March 7 missions at a low cost, such as the Tianzhou cargo spacecraft for the space station mission."

"Hiss—so, apart from solid rockets with rapid launch capabilities, and the high-capacity Long March 5, all other liquid rocket models currently in service, even the Long March 8 under development, will be eliminated by the Wanhu rocket?"

"This is too terrible. Will the country allow it?"

"do not know……"

It is hard for them to say about matters involving national strategy, but it is certain that the emergence of the Wanhu rocket will have a significant impact on the domestic and even the world's aerospace system.

By a certain definition, Wanhu Rocket is indeed a follower of the Falcon 9 recovery system, but it is also a challenger.

I won’t talk about Lu Yun’s own thoughts, after all, he has a cheat.

Take most of the employees of Blue Star Aerospace for example, they consider themselves challengers.

"Why, if foreigners can recover rockets, why can't we?"

Back then, President Qian, the founder of China's aerospace industry and a pioneer of the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" project, said something similar.

Today they can say it too!
Lu Yun's "Technology Integration Theory" is combined with the domestic entire industrial chain. The cost-effectiveness of the Wanhu rocket not only crushes disposable rockets, but is also much cheaper than the Falcon 9 rocket.

Not to mention the domestic aerospace market, even though the US space ban has greatly restricted other countries' aerospace cooperation with China, when "cheap" rockets and "technologically integrated" domestically produced satellites appear, I don't believe they can still stop it!

The prerequisite for all this is that the Wanhu rocket can be successfully launched.

Even if the recovery is not successful the first time, it must be successfully put into orbit.

The Luyun team and the entire Dongfeng Aerospace City are working hard for this.

In the bustling entertainment circle, after the excitement of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", it is the turn of excitement for "Take My Brother Away" which will be released on August 17th.

Lu Yun made a guest appearance as a scientist involved in human lunar migration engineering in "The Richest Man in Xihong City". In real life, he only has some experience in building rockets and satellites.

He made a guest appearance as a big star in "Take My Brother Away", and he is really a big star in real life!

Was there any big star more famous than him throughout the summer?

No!

Before "Take My Brother Away", the second season of "Longing for Life" had already been promoted. After all, the two regular cast members had roles in it, and the two younger sisters among the flying guests were also very cute.

But because Lu Yun was only a guest star and the main cast included Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng, the predicted box office at the time was more than 3 million yuan.

And now, it has skyrocketed to 5 million!
As for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on the first flight of the Wanhu rocket on August 25th.

Yes, the launch date announced by Wanhu Rocket.

But before that, Chang'e-4 made its debut on August 15, announcing the exterior design of the lander and lunar rover, and also held a global naming ceremony for the lunar rover.

"?"

"Wait, didn't Chang'e 5 return? Why is there Chang'e 4 again?"

“Haha, the authorities made a mistake?”
