This star is going to the moon

Chapter 91 Wan Hu Fei Tian! (Subscribe)
As for why Chang'e 4 was launched after Chang'e 5, Lu Yun knew it best, or it could be said that he was the "culprit."

After all, if it weren't for him, the mission schedules of Chang'e 4, Chang'e 5, and Chang'e 6 would probably be arranged in order in this life.

However, this matter is only beneficial to students studying history, as it makes it easier for them to remember the timeline, but it is not good for the development of domestic aerospace, so Lu Yun feels that he did nothing wrong.

Fortunately, only Lu Yun knows about this strange world line, and people in this world line will not have that kind of memory. After the explanation of professionals, people will understand the fact that "five is earlier than four".

[I see. Number 3's backup now becomes number 4's regular. No wonder it took so long to get in line, even behind number 5.]

[This spare tire is not simple, its best feature is the rear-entry type. ]

【? 】

[Wait, everyone is talking about Chang'e's lunar exploration, right?]

Seriously, the Chang'e-4 mission is truly impressive. All of humanity's current lunar probes have landed on the near side of the moon, but Chang'e-4 is humanity's first attempt to land on the far side of the moon and release a rover for patrol and research.

I heard the far side of the moon is always facing away from the Earth, so it's very mysterious. Could there be some secrets there?

[Hehe, who knows what amazing discoveries Chang'e 4 will make when it lands on the far side of the moon~]

What kind of earth-shattering discovery is that landing on the far side of the moon won't lead to the discovery of alien technology, and then our country's technology will explode, right?

[Haha, how could that be? Don't listen to their nonsense. There's no way you can just pick up alien technology anywhere...]

[That’s right, if you want to popularize science, just do it properly, don’t try to be mysterious…]

[Chang'e 12 will not be launched until December, some people have been waiting...]

"..."

Seeing this kind of talk again with his reborn memories, Lu Yun could only say...

Hard to say!

Lu Yun doesn't pay attention to things in the entertainment industry, but he is very concerned about aerospace, especially major space missions like Chang'e 4.

Chang'e 4 has not been launched yet, so it is certainly a joke to talk about such things now, but domestic technology will indeed experience explosive development in the future.

Especially with the 2025-2026 period as the node, the explosive development of science and technology began to produce results.

This is naturally the result of the country's long-term investment in scientific and technological infrastructure, and is also the result of the hard work of scientific researchers across the country, but doing something mysterious... people like to hear it when they chat and brag.

Of course, Lu Yun himself was reborn, and he was a little unconfident to say that there was nothing mysterious in this world.

And many years later in this life, he might be the one being talked about by others.

"Did Lu Yun pick up alien technology somewhere?"

A day later, "Hurry Up, Brother" was released. Lu Yun asked Yan Xinxin to book several shows to show his support, and he also posted a Weibo post to share the interesting things that happened during the filming.

It’s actually indirect advertising.

After all, "Kuaibha" and "The Richest Man" are different. There are good sisters in "Kuaibha", but there are only rough men in "The Richest Man".

After finishing his business in the entertainment industry, Lu Yun began to preside over the final horizontal test of the Wanhu rocket. After confirming that there was no problem, he used a huge rocket transfer vehicle to transport the 60-meter-long Wanhu rocket to the launch site.

(Online photo, Long March 12)
The main part of this horizontal transfer vehicle is actually part of the launch pad. After being fixed to the launch base, the vehicle is withdrawn and the launch pad slowly stands upright with the empty body of the rocket.

Lu Yun and Yu Xingchen each folded their arms and looked at the slowly rising rocket, feeling deeply moved.

Lu Yun said to Yu Xingchen: "How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"No lie," Yu Xingchen looked at the rocket and shook his head, "But actually, I still can't believe it. Am I really watching our homegrown Wanhu rocket slowly rise to full height?"

Hearing this, Lu Yun raised his hand: "How about I slap you?"

Yu Xingchen shuddered and quickly waved his hands: "Forget it, forget it, I'm sober now, I just feel..."

He looked at Lu Yun and said seriously: "Lu Yun, you are really awesome!"

"?"

Lu Yun tilted his head in surprise for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Hahahaha~"

Yu Xingchen suddenly laughed too.

"Hahaha~"

………………

At 4 p.m. on August 25, the countdown to the Wanhu rocket's maiden flight was one hour.

Live broadcast starts!
Barrage is coming!

【Coming, coming, coming! 】

[Why is the rocket emitting white smoke? Is it going to explode? ]

【That's refueling! 】

The livery of the private aerospace company is really beautiful, unlike the earthy style of the Long March series.

[Ah, is this a private company? I thought it was the national team's new rocket?] [How does this rocket compare to the American Falcon 9?]

[I heard it is 60% of the size of the Falcon rocket]

[Later than others, and younger than them, are you just copying them? ]

[Of course, if Ma Shengkaiyuan hadn't opened up the source code, would your country also want to build a reusable rocket?]

[Another open source weirdo. Why don't other countries make it? Did Ma Sheng only open source the Chinese information? ]

[Gee, can't you even be quiet while watching a space launch?]

There will always be quarrels among human beings, especially when there are many traitors in a certain country.

Fortunately, the busy staff in the Dongfeng Aerospace City Command Center will not pay attention to these things. They are working in an orderly manner.

An Fangfei also came. She was wearing a work suit with the words "Blue Star Aerospace" printed on it and was receiving emergency training from Lu Yun.

"...I'll be sitting next to you. For this launch, I'll be the '01 Commander,' responsible for reading the countdown, and you'll be the 'Golden Finger,' responsible for pressing the launch button."

"When I say 'ignition', you press the 'ignition' button,"

Lu Yun stood behind An Fangfei and pointed at the buttons on the console.

An Fangfei was a little flustered when she heard this: "Is it appropriate to entrust such an important matter to me? What if I'm a second late?"

"Suitable, no one is more suitable than you today."

Lu Yun patted An Fangfei's shoulders with both hands: "You are the original shareholder and co-founder of the company. Today is your birthday, but you pushed aside your family's birthday arrangements to come here. Then you can use the Wanhu rocket as a birthday candle to light a wish."

"If it succeeds, your wish will come true. If the rocket explodes, it will be your birthday and everyone will watch the fireworks, haha."

An Fangfei's eyes widened when she heard Lu Yun's outrageous analogy: "Pah, pah, pah, don't say such unlucky words!"

"Okay, you're the birthday boy, so you have the final say." Lu Yun made a zippering gesture to his mouth.

"So...it's really okay?"

"Absolutely no problem. In fact, only early rocket launches needed to be on time. Nowadays, rockets are highly automated, so as long as the operation is not too outrageous, there will be no problem."

Looking at Lu Yun's thumbs-up and his bared white teeth, which looked like "this is my burning youth", An Fangfei agreed with a hint of disgust.

Looking at the buttons on the console, she made a silent wish.

"Hope the rockets succeed, there's still hope..."

On the other hand, someone was secretly watching the live broadcast of the Wanhu rocket's maiden flight in the hotel, and his wish was very straightforward.

"Failure! Explosion! It would be great if even the launch pad exploded during the live broadcast with everyone watching!"

Wu Fanqian said gritting his teeth.

On the other hand, Lu Han’s emotions were more complicated.

Because the "RE:X satellite" he wanted to launch had been delivered to the factory in Dongfeng Aerospace City, and the corresponding rocket had also arrived. It was also captured in the live broadcast just now.

He wanted Lu Yun's rocket launch to fail, but would the failure of the rocket spread to the rocket carrying his satellite?
"Let's just hope the Wanhu Rockets fail. After all, they're a private company. A national team's Rockets shouldn't fail that easily..."

At the same time, there were a large number of people cursing the failure of Wanhu Rocket, and the room manager in the live broadcast room could only ban them one by one and then set blocked words.

However, the members of the [World Space Enthusiasts Group] found the English live broadcast room that was broadcasting the first flight of the Wanhu rocket, and sent barrages of messages wishing the Wanhu rocket success.

In such an atmosphere, as the time for the Wanhu rocket's maiden flight drew closer, the live broadcast screen was split into two, becoming a dual screen of the rocket launch pad and the command center.

【Ah, it's An Fangfei and Lu Yun! 】

【They are really a perfect match! 】

[The important thing is to look at the position. Lu Yun will read the countdown, and An Fangfei will press the launch button!]

[Haha, it turns out tech companies also promote their best-looking people as their face!]

【Countdown 30 seconds! 】

Lu Yun kept an eye on the time and started counting down when it reached ten seconds.

"10...3, 2, 1, ignite!"

An Fangfei next to him had been waiting for this moment. When she heard this, she pressed the "ignition" button with her beautiful thumb.

“Whoosh—boom—”

The 350-ton Wanhu rocket spewed out flames, and the water in the guide chute was blasted into a large amount of steam that shot up into the sky. Against the backdrop of them, the 60-meter-high Wanhu rocket was lifted up into the sky by the huge thrust!

"Take off, take off time 17:00:06..."

(Internet photo + P-picture, Wanhu rocket takes off)

"I wonder if Wan Hu, who dreamed of flying into space on a wooden chair over 600 years ago, would have imagined that a rocket named after him would be taking to the sky today?"

Lu Yun muttered to himself as he looked at the live broadcast and various data on the big screen.

An Fangfei, who was sitting next to him, quietly took his hand.
