Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 317 Over one billion people around the world watch the aerospace live broadcast!

So far, except for a few important figures from the Science and Technology Department and the Space Administration, as well as some important personnel involved in the plan, basically no one knows that the Real Group is going to build a century project in the Gabon area - a space elevator!
Even Professor Yi Chengdong's team, which went to the Gapong area for geological exploration, was not very clear about the plan because he received direct instructions from the Science and Technology Department, and then he led his outstanding students and team there. Gabon, conducted several months of geological exploration.

The space elevator that Xu Nuo wants to build cannot be built in a short time, although the nanocomposite material technology has been successfully developed and the mass production plan has been started in the Real Group.

But the space elevator is a huge project after all. It was definitely impossible to build it during the filming of "The Wandering Earth" by Xu Nuo. Therefore, the space elevator was used as "special effects" in Xu Nuo's movie because it couldn't be built in a short time. , so according to the system’s real-life shooting principle, Xu Nuo can use special effects to replace the real-life shooting of the space elevator.

Therefore, for most people, like Ma Yong and Xiong Li, the space elevator is just an impossible setting in science fiction novels.

Or maybe it’s a movie scene that will be shown in the movie!
Only two people in the Chongxiao-[-] space shuttle, Xu Nuo and Guan Ju, knew that Guan Ju was not a human being to be precise, but an AI bionic human.

"Okay, everyone, please check your position, sit down and wait patiently for instructions from the space center building."

Xu Nuo also didn't want everyone to "relax" too much. Although it was indeed necessary to relax at this time, what if we talked too much and missed some details?

After multiple rounds of inspections by the Space Launch Center and three professional astronauts, no problems were found in any of the details of anyone.

At present, the entire Chongxiao-[-] space shuttle is already at the launch pad, because according to the launch convention of rockets or space shuttles, the rocket or space shuttle will be transported in advance and fixed at the launch pad.

If a rocket is used for manned launch, the astronauts will have to enter the manned cabin in advance and quietly wait for the launch moment to arrive.

But this time the space shuttle is used, and after China has iterated the space shuttle to the third series, its practicality is much better than that of rockets, so Xu Nuo and the others can enter the space shuttle now, and then Waiting several hours for the launch of the Space Shuttle Soaring Sky-[-].

Since the Chongxiao-[-] series of space shuttles and the Chongxiao-[-] series of space shuttles are very practical and efficient, at this stage, except for super heavy rockets, other types of rockets are rarely used as carriers. , that is, use it for launching satellites, because using ordinary rockets to launch satellites can greatly reduce the cost.

When it comes to transporting supplies and astronauts to space, the space shuttle has become the main vehicle, while the super-heavy rocket is more responsible for transporting cargo and supplies.

Time is passing by every minute and every second.

All Xu Nuo and his actors need to do now is wait, wait, and keep waiting.

at last!

A voice came from the communication device.

"Chongxiao [-], this is the island space command center building."

After the launch of the Chongxiao-[-] space shuttle, it was necessary to maintain contact with the space command center on the ground throughout the entire process until it arrived at the Tiangong Space Station.

"It's my first time riding a rocket. To be honest, I'm very nervous now."

Ma Yong, who had already put on his spacesuit, couldn't help but sigh with emotion on the Chongxiao No. [-] channel.

"Lao Ma, this is the space shuttle."

Xiong Li reminded.

"Yes, yes, space shuttle, I get nervous easily when I'm nervous."

Xu Nuo looked at Ma Yong, who was sitting diagonally in front of him, and said with a smile: "Old Ma, think back in your mind what you learned at the aerospace training base, and make adjustments quickly when you are nervous."

"clear."

Ma Yong nodded slightly, and then no one spoke, and he quickly adjusted his slightly nervous mentality.

After all, he is a "professional" who has passed the aerospace training test. Although it is his first time and his experience is not rich enough, it is not difficult for him to quickly adjust his mentality.

"The Space Command Center Building, this is Chongxiao-[-], the power engine re-inspection is normal, completed."

One of the three professional astronauts is communicating with the space center building through communication equipment.

The power engine is the most critical part of the space shuttle. Whether it can take off smoothly depends on it. Therefore, it must be checked repeatedly before takeoff. After the internal system inspection of the space shuttle is completed, the astronauts must report it to the aerospace command center. Over there in the building.

In fact, at the Space Command Center building, staff are always monitoring the power engine condition of the Chongxiao-[-] space shuttle, as well as all aspects of other systems.

"There are still 45 minutes until launch."

A countdown sound came from the Space Command Center Building, and every 15 minutes, the astronauts in the space shuttle were reminded of the time.

Everyone seemed very calm when they heard the 45-minute countdown and just waited quietly for the 15 minutes.

"Guan Ju, has she set a humor index?"

After a while, perhaps because the atmosphere inside the space shuttle seemed relatively quiet and depressing, one of the three professional astronauts suddenly looked at Guan Ju and Xu Nuo and asked curiously.

"If you like a witty Guan Ju, then she can automatically adjust her humor index according to your preferences."

Xu Nuo calmly explained to the astronaut.

It can be seen that the three professional astronauts are very interested in Guan Ju.

"I have always been a fan of Guan Ju. She is really a great creation of our mankind in the field of AI."

Another astronaut couldn't help but praise.

"Thank you for your love for Guan Ju."

Unexpectedly, this astronaut is actually Guan Ju's little fanboy. To be precise, he is not a fanboy. After all, our astronaut is also over 30 years old.

The atmosphere inside the Chongxiao-[-] space shuttle has become more harmonious. From the initial chatting and discussing the space elevator, to the silence in the middle, and now the atmosphere is peaceful. Perhaps this is why this group of people are in Chongxiao today. The only consolation in Space Shuttle [-] is that after they board the Chongxiao Space Shuttle [-] this time, they will not be able to touch the ground of Blue Star for a long time.

For humans who have been living on the surface of Blue Star, they will feel a little bit unreliable after being in outer space for a long time instead of on Blue Star.

Everyone's simple chat is to make up for this sense of emptiness.

"Chongxiao 10 space shuttle, this is the space command center building, the countdown to takeoff is three and [-] minutes."

The prompt from the Space Command Center building sounded again.

"Chongxiao No. [-] received it."

The space shuttle responded.Every time the time is prompted, everyone seems relatively silent.

Then after a while, we will start chatting briefly again.

"You guys said, how many viewers around the world are watching the live broadcast of the launch of Chongxiao-[-] at this moment?"

Ma Yong took the lead in bringing up the topic.

"I think there will definitely be a lot this time. When I picked up my phone for the last time, I saw that many netizens were looking forward to this space trip."

A professional astronaut joined the conversation and said.

For professional astronauts like them, they must put down electronic devices such as mobile phones for a certain period of time before carrying out a space mission, and this astronaut had read about this time on the Internet before that Discussion of space missions.

After all, the focus of attention this time is director Xu Nuo and the cast and crew of the movie "The Wandering Earth" led by him. It is precisely because of Director Xu that today's launch mission has attracted such huge attention.

In the past, if it was just an ordinary manned space launch mission, since it was not a rare thing, the attention was not particularly high. Generally, netizens in the circle of space enthusiasts would pay more attention to every event in China. A manned space mission.

"Director Xu, Guan Ju should know how many people are watching the live broadcast of your space mission today, right?"

Xiong Li still had a certain understanding of Xu Nuo's AI Guan Ju, so he asked immediately.

However, Xu Nuo shook his head.

"If Guan Ju didn't board the Chongxiao-[-] space shuttle with me today, then she could indeed get the number of people watching the live broadcast through the data in the online live broadcast room."

Xu Nuo explained calmly: "But now Guan Ju has been disconnected from my network server, and now it uses the built-in processor."

To put it simply, Guan Ju is now a member of the "Wandering Earth" film crew. She temporarily turned off some functions before boarding the Chongxiao-[-] space shuttle.

For example, the connection with the network satellite, because after the launch of the Chongxiao-[-] space shuttle, she will break through the atmosphere and go to the Tiangong Space Station in outer space. She cannot be affected by some of her circumstances in the middle, so AI Guanju is now in a special state. Simply put, it can be described as a robot that is not connected to the Internet but has a built-in processor that can still execute program instructions.

"Oh, that's it."

Xiong Liye understood what Xu Nuo meant and stopped asking any more questions.

However, although Guan Ju does not know how many viewers around the world are watching today's live broadcast of the space launch, the Science and Technology Administration knows it, and the space agency also knows it.

Real Media also knows it!
The National Television Station also knows this, because Statistics Real Media and the National Television Station are interconnected.

Today’s live broadcast of the space launch has only two official live broadcast rooms.

One is the real aerospace live broadcast room of Xu Nuo's Real Media AI entertainment platform, and the other is the official live broadcast room of National Television Station. Netizens and viewers at home and abroad watch the entire process of the space launch in these two live broadcast rooms.

So you only need to count the viewing data of the two live broadcast rooms on various platforms.

In addition to their own National Television platform, the live broadcast rooms of National Television are also on AI entertainment platforms and international versions, as well as other overseas National Television platforms.

However, due to the consideration of "cooperation" with real media, the real aerospace live broadcast room is only available on the AI ​​entertainment platform and the international version platform. I want to watch the live broadcast of today's space expedition, a great moment in human history. , there are only these two live broadcast rooms.

According to statistics from Real Media and National Television.

More than one billion viewers around the world have entered the live broadcast room to watch the live broadcast of the space launch.

If Xu Nuo knew the data of more than one billion viewers, he would probably want the system to issue a target task for him immediately. It would not be too easy to complete it.

In fact, Xu Nuo has not yet received any small movie assignments from the system, and the familiar voice has not yet come to mind.

"Damn it, there are too many viewers now."

"Watching the grand spectacle of a space launch like this is really exciting and witnessing history!"

"I really envy these people who can go and watch it live."

"I also want to watch it live and watch Director Xu and the others live. It's a pity that we still have to go to work, so we can only sneak in and watch the live broadcast while at work."

"Rush! Rush to the Chongxiao-[-]! Rush to the Tiangong Space Station!"

"Have Director Xu and the others boarded the plane yet?"

"Isn't this nonsense? There is less than half an hour before the launch. The crew must have been in place long ago."

"It's so exciting, even more exciting than the first time I watched the launch of the Shenzhou heavy-lift carrier rocket."

"I watched it on YouTube, and there were so many gringos in the live broadcast room watching online!"

"Director Xu's global influence cannot be overemphasized. In addition, Director Xu and the others went to outer space and the moon to actually shoot "The Wandering Earth." This 'gimmick' alone was enough to attract people all over the world to watch. ”

"It is said that more than one billion people are watching the live broadcast online, which is so awesome!"

Even netizens already know that the number of viewers watching the live broadcast of this space launch today exceeds one billion people worldwide. Only Xu Nuo and others in the Chongxiao [-] space shuttle do not know this data.

"Chongxiao 10, this is the aerospace command center building. There is a [-]-minute countdown to takeoff. Please adjust your personal status. We are about to leave the beautiful Blue Star and go beyond the Blue Star. Our goal is - Tiangong Space Station, aerospace After the spacecraft arrives at the connection location of Tiangong Space Station, it will start automatic docking and enter the connection air port of Tiangong Space Station."

From the communication equipment of Xu Nuo and others, the voice from the Space Command Center building came again.

Although this voice sounds a bit like AI, it is actually not an AI voice, but a real aerospace staff member from the Space Command Center building making a report to the crew of the Space Shuttle Chongxiao-[-].

"."

Xu Nuo was in a very calm mood at the moment.

Finally, the countdown he wanted to hear most came from Xu Nuo's communication device, the real countdown, which started from 60 seconds.

This countdown number also looks particularly dazzling on the holographic screen of the Space Command Center Building.

And just to the left and right of the countdown data are real-time images of the crew module inside the Space Shuttle Chongxiao-[-]. Xu Nuo, Colonel Luo Wei, Ma Yong, Xiong Li and others are paying attention to more than one billion people around the world. Below, it is about to take off to the sky!
