There is a Japanese historical drama in which a family named "Sanada" is a loyalist of the "Takeda" clan, which is on the verge of death due to defeat in battle. Masayuki Sanada: As long as Mount Fuji and Mount Asama do not erupt, the Takeda clan will be safe and secure! On June 24, 1582, after forty-eight years, Mount Asama erupted again* (Fortunately, the last eruption of Mount Fuji was in 1511, but unfortunately the Takeda clan was destroyed at the Battle of Nagashino in 1582) Masayuki's son: After all, it's a volcano, and sooner or later it's going to erupt... right?

Ha, the top three places on my travel list within China: Xinjiang, Nanjing and there. *When I wondered why there were natural hot springs in my hometown where there were no volcanoes, I asked my teacher and found out that there was at least one super volcano in Guangdong province at least 150 million years ago.* :me: what??!!

As a slight correction, we don't use DU (or at least that's the official statement), we use tungsten: we have 59.4% of world's tungsten. There are even one of the bullets for the QBS09 shotgun with tungsten pellets, which has led to a Chinese internet meme: the Chinese way of treating tungsten. I've even seen this shotgun (and a couple of bayoneted QBZ-95) up close on a graduation trip to train station in Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, with my high schoold friends. But yes, the official dovumentary says that the researchers who developed the first generation of anti-tank missiles didn't even know what they looked like before then.

Hope so and try to be

Inside the 'firewall' I'm "not patriotic enough", outside the 'firewall' I'm "ultra-nationalist". Me: So who the f am I?

"Making money, just business, not shabby at all" Well believe or not, in fact I tend to be the one to "throw cold water" on them in Chinese forums. Many of them are also really unreasonable at all.

Well actually I think what they try to hype about the "hypersonic test" is the Project Tengyun itself. Although I think we should all know about this, but I think I still need to point it out. If you compare thier "reports" with the features of the Project Tengyun, many of them can match up perfectly. No offence, when a country does not have a strict system of accountability for its officials, the power centre is full of amateurs in the profession, and most people don't scrutinise the acuracy of the reports (only we the space fan and military fans will focus on the unreasonable details they report actually). As member of the related research organisation, when you want to "get more research funding", isn't it just a matter of making the reports as horrific and outrageous as possible? Early Shenzhou spacecraft (1-6) would leave their orbital moduls in LEO for use as earth observation satellites, while the everyone's re-entry velocities for spacecraft on return were largely above Mach 20. Parts back to Earth and parts stay at orbit, is there anything diffcult for CN, US and RU space technology? Just blame it on the scary-looking DF-17 missile warheads unveiled at the parade

Descuss it with friends in the group chat. They said that they prefer "Wugang" or "Houyi". The Wugang myth:https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Chinese_Stories/Wu_Gang. And Chang'e actually is the wife of Houyi: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Chinese_Stories/Houyi_and_Chang'e Remember the signal relay satellite in Lagrangian L2 point orbit? It calls Queqiao, the Magpie Bridge(鹊桥). And this is the myth about it:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cowherd_and_the_Weaver_Girl Damn, if the manned lunar lander named as Houyi, that's really romantic

The best thing to be Chinese is when I visit Japan and looking for something from hundreds or thousands years ago,I never need to look the introduction on the exhibition boards especially when it’s a book or paint or something else with text: they’re all writing by Chinese Some of my friends visiting Korea also has same experiences. My father: you see, even the Japanese hand writing is much more better than you!

Well I definitely haven't had my picture taken with this one hahaha The statue is relatively close to the Tang Dynasty style (because of it's hairstyle). Apart from endless wars, a large part of China's history has been spent fighting floods: the female deity known as the river god was also drowned. So we don't have so much "some lady cried and created a river": the water we have is enough, really. Perhaps some other small local lake in some other small place will have a similar myth, but on the whole it was male mostly who could be worshipped as river gods and for who had done a remarkable job of controling floods.

I have an impression, I might have had my picture taken with this sculpture when I was a kid, I'll have to look for it

Wow, I wouldn't dare to guess that Personally I prefer to continue to use the "Shenzhou" as the next generation spaceship and "Shenjian" for the new rocket: God's boat and God's arrow sounds pretty awlsome isn't it? The crewed lunar lander I think it still would be taken from ancient Chinese myth about the moon. One thing is certain that we will build the research station on the moon with our Russian friends. And in Chinese myth, the palace that Chang'e and Yutu living is the "Guanghan Palace", so I think at least the nickname we the Chinese use for the luner research station is the "Guanghan Gong (广寒宫)" And Chang'e is "stole the elixir, flew up and floated to the moon". As I know so far about the Chinese, we don't use elixir to named something rocket science

News: at 00:40 (UTC/GMT+08:00), the CZ-3B rocket successfully placed the "Zhongxing (China Sat)1D" into orbit. This mission was the 399th flight of the Long March series of launch vehicles. 4 launches a week, think someone is really getting serious. And, I'm looking forward to what will CNSA sending into space for the 400th flight of Long March series of luanch vehicles. Send something hypersonic

Well actually they really don't need to because thanks of the space station, moon and mars project, and the most important things: the hype from Western - China Threat Theory. People probably more than 98% support whatever CNSA do if all my friends and family is not actor hire by CPC The only complaint is that people want the researchers to be paid more.

The “Chinese can go to moon at 2030” that things I have reservation. China's space research process is relatively conservative and not so radical. None of the new manned spacecraft have been finalised either, and the new rocket to accompany them has not made its maiden flight. The second stage engine of the CZ-9, “YF-90 220-tonne Hydrogen-oxygen engine completes first engineering prototype”, said by official statement. And the new rocket CZ-9 also needs a new launch station and new assembly plant: she is much taller than the CZ-5. Although there also have voice said that we got another plan:'921 rocket', using two CZ-5 core first stage as boosters and tied it up to the rocket. But it still needs the tests. And the another good news is the Wenchang Satellite Launch Centre Phase II Expansion Project was started at August this year. Based on the first phase of the project, which started in September 2009 and was completed in October 2014, and the first mission was carried out in 2016, I think it will be at least five to seven years before the new rocket launch site is operational if all goes well. Which will be 2026 to 2028. “Go to moon at 2030” a bit too much of a rush, and I don’t think we’re in a space race either. We might be have ability to do so at 2030, but sending a crew on it, I’m not so sure. And within China, the Chinese media when they report the “2030 go to moon” that things, they always add up a ‘?’ at end of title and nearly always use “we probably can do that but don’t expect too much” as conclusion.

Yep. But sadly I still not back home and don’t have opportunity to visit the Juhai Airshow. Frankly speaking we don’t know more than the other people outside of China but in Chinese, Tengyun means tumbling cloud. And the “cloud” more than one: five of them. It called ‘five cloud and one train’. And I pretty much sure that the paper I shared about "TBCC based TSTO" is related on it They are Hongyun (虹云，rainbow clouds); Xingyun(行云，flowing clouds); Feiyun(飞云，flying clouds); Kuaiyun(快云，fast clouds) and the Tengyun. The “one train” stand for “the flying train project” for the creation of a high-speed maglev transport system. The Hongyun you can think it as Musk’s Star Link, but it is for the “low orbit satellite internet+5G+smart ship internet of Internet of Things. And it was completed its first full-system, full flow, multi-user broadband satellite Internet communications experiment. It has been broken down into three steps:"1+4+156”: the first step is to launch the first technical verification satellite by 2018, second step is to launch four service test satellites by the end of the 13th Five-Year Plan (sounds Soviet) to form a small constellation for users to have preliminary service experiences; the third step is to launch 156 satellites by the end of 14th Five-Year Plan (2021 is the first year of it). Those 156 satellites will be in operation and the business constellation will be built. The Xingyun project is a low-orbit satellite-satellite laser communication, the so-called “Space-based Internet of Things. The α-phase twin satellites was launched in May 2020 and successful completion of all in-orbit tests. They said they would completed the β-phase of it and achieving small-scale business operations and initial realization of space-based IoT services. (I found the record at Wiki, launched at 12th May 2020 by KZ-1A rocket) The Feiyun project is for building an airborne local area network. It has achieved a demonstration flight test of a local area network communication system based on a solar-powered UAV platform at an altitude of 8,000 meters. The Kuaiyun project is stratospherically accessible floating mobile platform.It has successfully completed the stratospheric ultra-long stay floatation vehicle validation flight test. Tengyun, ask FT The official statement is “The first combined power modal transformation flight test in China has been completed. Achieving a major breakthrough in air and space flight power technology.” And the Flying Train is jointly promoting core technology research and industrialization synergy with advantageous units. I don’t know about you guys, but I think is sci-if movies are still a bit conservative in comparison? Optimistically, the fact that so little information is available about them at least suggests that CNSA is not wasting research funds on publicity the official introduction about the “five cloud and one train”:http://www.xinhuanet.com/2020-10/19/c_1126631246.htm And it was published at 19th Oct. 2020

I look back to the FT’s hypes and I pretty much sure that they put at least 5 Chinese related experiments into one. Basically what they try to sell is “Chinese launch something into the orbit, re-enter the atmosphere, glide with speed on Mach 5 or maybe more, throw something waverider-like object at midway and back to the base.” And the latest they try to hype is the object we throw at midway was a ‘aa missile’ — is it really necessary? Kind like I’m going to grab a coke from the store downstairs, and I take a plane from China to US and back to China from US and go to this store and grab it. As I know so far, hypersonic experiment firstly start to appeared on Chinese online social media platforms around 2017. There has been more than one sighting of a strange celestial phenomenon formed by a warhead gliding through the atmosphere alone, and in more than one place. Fact: I was back to hometown to married a cute and sexy girl. When I arrived, I find the chief is short-staffed. So I decided to make a couple of dishes to show off my cooking skills. My wife was very happy at the wedding because of those dishes: is the best day of me and my wife’s whole life. What they hype: A strange man back to home. He stuck at midway. He cooked several dishes on his little car at highway. And a cute and sexy girl married him with great pleasure because those dishes: This weirdo defies psychology and he probably have ability to steal your wife or daughter by the nobody knows way.

Cockroaches won't kill you, but they're annoying and disgusting enough

News: KZ-1A rocket successfully carried the Experiment-11 Satellite into orbit from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre site at 7:41(UTC/GMT+08:00) today. This mission was the 13th launched of the KZ-1A launch vehicle. https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/437446455 Can’t paste the link of the photo. We got three new photos about KZ-1A rocket with a missile transporter launched at dawn

What is the most important part of an academic research paper? Peer review and experimental replication. But you know, those "peers" can't even make experimental equipment

Well I find a paper that I think you guys would be interest: Conceptual design of TBCC based TSTO configurations for stage seperation investigation http://html.rhhz.net/KQDLXXB/2019-05-698.htm You can let Chrome translate it. “I know all the words, but I just don't know what they mean when put together“

News: Gaofen-3 02 satellite successfully entered the intended orbit by CZ-4C rocket at 7:45 (UTC/GMT+8:00) today. The Global Times reported that it "operates in a sun-synchronous return orbit at an altitude of 755 km, with a C-band synthetic aperture radar as its main payload. After launch into orbit, it will be networked with the Gaofen-3 satellite in orbit to form a constellation of maritime and land radar satellites with 1m resolution and 1-day revisit capability, in addition to adding an automatic ship identification signal receiving system and onboard real-time processing functions to improve the observation of maritime vessels and the monitoring capability of maritime emergencies and the natural environment on land and sea, which can meet the needs of marine rights and interests maintenance, marine disaster prevention and mitigation, marine power environmental monitoring, as well as disaster mitigation, land, environmental protection, water conservancy, agriculture and meteorology applications" Hey ships, big satellite is watching you

well speaking of which, I strongly recommend that you take a look at Z-20 helicopter I think it defintely will make those people really mad I never think the acdemic level, scientists have such a suffocationg problem with racism or sense of superiority that comes out of nowhere: many folks at NASA always want to co-operate with CNSA don't they? But politician is politician. Hold our nose and keep going

Well millitary things... during the honeymoon period between the US and China, we got civilian version C-130, a dozen of Black Hawk (it really helps a lot at 2008 Sichuan's earthquake), offer a lot of help on how to modify the J-7 plane:it has to some extent contributed to the standardisation and modularisation of Chinese military products. And btw we also grap the L7 tank cannon from UK, SA-342L and SA-321 helicopter from France, some gas turbine tech for ships from Canada(?). Some old retired generals even said on some talk shows that if we hadn't been poor at the time, we would have even wanted to buy the German Leopard I tank. And from Soviet/Russian? Have to say if we don't have them we don't even know how and where to start. To take two countries that nearly three to four decades ago were thinking of "nuclear surgery" on one side while the other was desperately and frantically building fortifications and digging bomb shelters, and force them into what is now a "new era of comprehensive strategic partnership", one can only wonder how lucky American politicians are that they were not born in a country that has a strict system of accountability for its officials. "No matter black cat or white cat, a good cat is a good cat when it catches a mouse", said by former Chairmen, Deng Xiaoping

The first one was KZ-1 (Kuaizhou-1, 快舟, fast boat) launching the Jilin-1 Satellite. It is a kind of satellite constellation of private think tanks that take satellite pictures. A DF-31 missile-based launch vehicle and using solid fuel. The red Chinese word means "our space". Trust me, the word "we" does not refer specifically to the Chinese (Hell even worse) This rocket also set a new post-Cold War human space record: rapid successive launches (six hours apart) of the same model in the same place in one day. And the second one is the CZ-11 (Long March 11) rocket launching {Jilin-1 Gaofen(High resolution)-03C 1,2,3 Video Satellites} and {Jinlin-1 Gaofen-03B 1,2,3,4,5,6 Scan Satellites}. It was happened at 9th Sep. 2019. CZ-11 is solid fuel launch vehicle with fast access to space and emergency launch capability. The launch cycle does not exceed 72 hours, with a minimum launch time of within 24 hours You can find more at this link below: the company who own the Jilin-1 satellites http://www.charmingglobe.com/EWeb/index.aspx
