In the past few days, the "third step" of China's manned spaceflight project has made a breakthrough achievement, making a 2013 American movie re-ignite. Many netizens "archaeology" found that good guys, science fiction films became "documentaries".
Eight years ago, in the famous director Alfonso Cuarón's "Gravity", the heroine's life was hanging in the balance, driving the Russian "Alliance" spacecraft to the Chinese Tiangong space station, trying to drive the Chinese spacecraft back to Earth.
Tiangong space station planting vegetables, netizens said that "the traditional art of flower growers"
However, on the Chinese space station, the heroine is faced with a console full of Chinese, but she can only use the Dafa of "pointing soldiers and pointing generals".
In the end, the heroine has a thrilling pilot of shenzhou and returns to earth.
In the past two days, CCTV and other Mainstream Media in China have exposed the operation interface of China's Tiangong Space Station for the first time in history, and netizens have found: Hey, it's really the same as in "Gravity"!
Netizen warm tips: if you want to come to the Chinese space station, you must first learn Chinese.
Coincidentally, on Tiktok, a foreign blogger who has long followed Chinese news also re-watched the film.
The tiktoker lamented on June 19, "It's time to learn Chinese." The control system of the Chinese space station is all written Chinese. Gravity the movie has become reality. ”
A Chinese-Canadian downstairs said, "I agree, I never had the opportunity to learn Mandarin." "There are still many netizens who feel that it is necessary to learn Chinese."
But some people feel that China's space station is so advanced, it can definitely choose the spicy language.
There are also comments that "show off" the Chinese they have learned.
In fact, the BBC published an article in 2018 titled:Chinese Why Europe's astronauts are learning Chinese?
The article broke the news that European astronauts are trying to learn Chinese because they want to go to the Tiangong space station. The on-orbit International Space Station was built under the auspices of NASA and will be decommissioned as early as 2024.
Recall that 27 years ago, when the International Space Station was built, the United States did not allow our astronauts to enter the station. Now, China's self-built Tiangong Space Station has been widely open for cooperation before launch — dozens of countries have applied to China.
Ji Qiming, assistant director of the China Manned Space Engineering Office, said at the press conference on the 16th that at present, 9 projects from 17 countries have been selected.
China also accepted the "inbound" application of the United States, regardless of the previous suspicions, but the Project of the United States was "not contentious" and unexpectedly failed.
In the future, more and more foreign astronauts will live in the "Heavenly Palace". Although it is not difficult for the operating system to support multilingualism, as tiktok netizens suggested, it is really necessary to learn Chinese.
To tell the truth, chasing China's aerospace is cooler than chasing drama. Because of what happened in reality, Shuangwen did not dare to write like this.
At 9:22 Beijing time on June 17, 2021, the Long March 2f YaoXIi carrier rocket carrying the Shenzhou 12 manned spacecraft was ignited and launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. On the same day, a foreign tiktoker excitedly shared the news.
At 18:48 Beijing time on June 17, 2021, astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo successively entered the Tianhe core module, marking the first time that Chinese entered their own space station.
After the arrival of this "historic moment" - on the 17th, some netizens commented under the video of Tiktok and lamented that Shenzhou XII took only 4 hours to complete the docking.
The three handsome men of China's aerospace will stay on the space station for 3 months. The heavy work they face is not as simple as "unpacking the courier" and "installing wifi".
Aerospace hero Yang Liwei introduced in a speech at Peking University on the 18th that astronauts have to unload more than 1,000 screws alone.
Have you found that any breakthrough in China's aerospace, you can chase it "online" on tiktok!
Why? Because on Tiktok, there are more and more "tap water" in China's aerospace. They are amazed by the rapid development of China's space industry and are keen to share the latest and coolest scientific and technological achievements.
Yang Liwei rushed to the hot search for the speech, and also mentioned an English word - taikonaut.
Translation translation, what is taikonaut?
If you pay attention, the European Space Agency used the word for the first congratulatory message to China. Even the names of the heavens and the core cabin, they carefully gave the phonetic pronunciation of tianhe, and the paraphrasing of the heartenly harmony in parentheses.
"taikonaut" is a spelling word made up of the pinyin of Chinese "space" and the English word astronaut, which has been included in the Oxford Dictionary and means chinese astronaut (Chinese astronaut).
As the only three independent manned space countries, the United States, Russia and China have different names for astronauts. Astronauts in the United States or other countries are generally called "astronauts", and Russian astronauts are called "cosmonauts".
With the development of China's space industry, foreign media have gradually begun to use "taikonauts" to refer to Chinese astronauts.
On the tiktok, a label called "taikonauts" quietly appeared, and although the number of views was not much, it quickly burst into flames in the past two days. Enough to see how closely the space enthusiasts on Tiktok are keeping up with current events!
Netizens also "live learning and use" up!
Shenzhou XII sent three "Chinese astronauts" (taikonauts) into space to complete the construction of China's first space station. ”
Even in the comments of various tiktok videos, many people use this word. "Congratulations to these 3 Chinese astronauts"↓
It is true that more and more netizens choose to spontaneously spread the feats of China's aerospace industry on Tiktok. Here, it has become a platform for disseminating and sharing the achievements of great powers.
For example, this tiktoker named Martijn Peters, who spoke Dutch on the 18th, happily introduced, "In the orbit around the earth, there have been more people since then!" ”
There is also the blogger of the operator's own popular science channel, who gave netizens a detailed popularization of "the incredible technology behind the Tiangong space station".
In addition, Russian space enthusiasts who have a deep understanding of China spread the progress of the Chinese space station to Russian users on the 18th.
China's aerospace "Tiantuan" also has its own fans ~ not only the astronauts this time, but also the historical information of the heroes who once took the Shenzhou have been found.
Whenever we lament the great hardships of the space industry, we naturally think, why should human beings explore space?
After all, the earth is not a pale blue, and the development of gobi and deserts is much more maneuverable than moving to Mars.
But when we become Cosimo living in a tree, like Tang Hongbo, looking down from a height of 400 kilometers.
That kind of breathtaking beauty makes the anti-China actions and conspiracy theories provoked by some Western forces on the earth seem even smaller and more ridiculous.
When the time comes, will we see the world and others in a new way?
The sea of stars is our journey, but not our conquest. China is writing a new interstellar story with a unique but universal Oriental value.
Why go "star chasing"? Because this is the ultimate romance that belongs to homo sapiens .
In 2012, Shenjiu astronauts Jing Haipeng, Liu Wang, and Liu Yang all entered the Tiangong-1 experimental module
In 2021, astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming, and Tang Hongbo were ordered to go out on the expedition and successfully entered the space station Chinese, and tiktok immediately "synchronized live broadcast" the relevant grand event.
