Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"I checked the map. Ruida Space City is located deep in the grassland. It is very remote. There are only two herdsmen villages within a hundred kilometers. If you go to work in Ruida Space City, don't think about any entertainment. Every day, apart from work, you just eat and sleep. Even if you make money, you have no place to spend it."

"Isn't this better? As long as there is electricity and internet, I can stay in the Aerospace City for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, I don't have enough education, so I don't even have the chance to work in Ruida Aerospace."

"I just submitted my resume on a recruitment platform and have received an interview invitation. Everyone wait for my good news."

"I just checked the official website of Ruida Aerospace and found that they are actually recruiting astronauts. Are they preparing for manned space flight?"

"The country is engaged in manned space flight in order to build a space station and go to the moon. What is the purpose of a private company like Ruida Aerospace engaging in manned space flight?"

"RuiDa Aerospace is recruiting astronauts, perhaps to reserve tour guides for space tourism. After all, as aerospace technology continues to develop and mature, space tourism will inevitably become a new hot spot."

"The requirements for becoming an astronaut are not that high. You only need a bachelor's degree, good health, and be under 30 years old to apply."

"The key is the selection process. Not everyone can be an astronaut. The acceleration during the ascent phase of the rocket is over 10G, which is too much for ordinary people to withstand."

……

At this time, Qiao Ruida was beside the No. 1 rocket launch tower, busy with various pre-launch tests on the heavy Suzaku rocket and the Clairvoyant space telescope. Of course, he had no time to pay attention to the comments of netizens in the live broadcast room, and he didn't know that just an ordinary live broadcast solved the talent recruitment problem of Ruida Aerospace. The employees of Ruida Aerospace's human resources department, far away in Beijing, were busy. First, they screened the hundreds of newly received resumes, and then sent interview invitations to those applicants who met the requirements one by one. In the next few days, the colleagues in the human resources department were destined to work overtime, and Ruida Aerospace could also use the publicity of this live broadcast to quickly attract a wave of talents.

Two days later, the day of the first launch of the heavy Suzaku rocket finally arrived. Early in the morning, while Qiao Ruida and others were still eating, many media reporters and self-media people came to Ruida Aerospace City, and even interview teams from several TV stations came, including CCTV and Meng Province TV Station. A private aerospace company is about to test-launch a heavy-duty carrier rocket with a capacity comparable to the Long March 5, and it is a recyclable model. This is a very heavyweight news in the domestic aerospace field. Whether the launch is successful or not, it is worth reporting extensively. The Aerospace City had long anticipated the arrival of these reporters, and arranged a reception team in advance to deal with these reporters, arrange food and accommodation, define the scope of activities, and help choose a safe shooting position. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

At 8 a.m., the heavy Suzaku rocket began to refuel, with hundreds of tons of liquid methane and liquid oxygen slowly injected into the rocket's fuel tank through pipelines. Since liquid methane and liquid oxygen are stored at low temperatures, the temperature around the transmission pipeline drops rapidly, and the water vapor in the air condenses into mist due to the cold. The white mist rises at the scene, making it seem like a fairyland.

Three hours later, the fuel was filled and the rocket launch entered the final two-hour countdown. At this time, the official live broadcast room of Ruida Group and the rocket launch live broadcast room on the quick shot software had already been opened. The anchor Ruan Xiaoshuang and the commentator Wu Ziqiang sent by Ruida Aerospace were explaining the current status of the rocket to the majority of netizens.

"Through the live broadcast, we can see that the white mist around the Suzaku Heavy rocket has dissipated, with only a few locations in the middle of the rocket still emitting a small amount of white mist. Engineer Wu, has the rocket fuel filling been completed now?"

"Yes, the white mist has dissipated, indicating that the fuel filling work has been completed. Our liquid methane and oxygen are stored under low temperature and high pressure. When refueling the rocket, the valve is opened. Under the action of high pressure, the filling speed is very fast. It only takes two or three hours to transfer hundreds of tons of fuel."

"I just heard a 120-minute countdown on the loudspeaker. Does this mean that the rocket will be launched in two hours?"

"Almost. The fuel filling is complete. The rocket launch process has reached this point and is irreversible. From now on, as long as the weather does not change too badly, the heavy Suzaku rocket will be launched on time."

"We found that some on-site staff were evacuating in an orderly manner. The construction sites around were also gradually stopping work. The workers were cleaning up the site and seemed to be leaving too. Was this also in preparation for the rocket launch?"

"Yes, for safety reasons, no one is allowed to be present within a certain range of the site when the rocket is launched. Our staff will evacuate to a safe place in batches. As for the suspension of construction sites in the surrounding areas, it is more for precaution. For this launch of the heavy Suzaku rocket, the core stage, core stage, and two rocket boosters must be recovered. The core stage and boosters are fine, as they are flying at a relatively low altitude, so recovery is more certain. The core stage two needs to send the space telescope into the predetermined orbit. When recovering it, there is a process of re-entering the atmosphere, and it also has to go through a black barrier. The recovery is very difficult. If there is a slight mistake, it may fall to the ground near the aerospace city, which is quite dangerous."

"I heard that Wu Gong also joined Ruida Aerospace this year, and now he has become a member of the company's core R&D team and the deputy director of the rocket production factory. Can you share your success experience with the netizens in our live broadcast room?"

"It's mainly because my major is more suitable. I am a PhD graduate from the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and my major is rocket and spacecraft design. Ruida Aerospace Company was newly established and in urgent need of various talents. I joined relatively early and had some abilities, so President Qiao took a fancy to me and entrusted me with an important task. To be honest, my professional knowledge and hands-on ability are acceptable, but my management ability is almost non-existent. After becoming the deputy director, I also recharged and learned while working."

"I never thought that Wu Gong looks so young, about the same age as me, but he has already graduated with a doctorate. How disrespectful!"

"Haha, I just have a baby face and look young, but I'm actually 32 years old this year. If it weren't for studying, I would have been married and had a family by now, and maybe even had children."

"It's hard to imagine that Wu Gong has such good conditions, but he hasn't started a family yet. Single beauties in the live broadcast room, your chance has come. According to what I have learned, the annual salary of senior executives at the level of factory directors under the Ruida Group starts at at least one million. Wu Gong has a doctorate degree, is tall and good-looking, and has an annual salary of one million. He is definitely a diamond bachelor. If any beautiful woman can marry Wu Gong, she won't have to worry about the rest of her life." After being teased by Ruan Xiaoshuang, Wu Ziqiang's baby face turned red. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. This is almost a common problem for science men. Once they see a beautiful girl, they can't speak well and can't express themselves clearly. Wu Ziqiang could talk freely in front of the camera before, because the content of the conversation was related to his major. Now when it comes to emotional issues, Wu Ziqiang is a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Ruan Xiaoshuang was a master at controlling the situation. Seeing Wu Ziqiang's expression was not right, he immediately stopped and changed the subject. "According to the information I have learned, the takeoff weight of the heavy Suzaku rocket is about 600 tons, which is much lighter than the Long March 5 carrier rocket. However, its carrying capacity is almost the same as the Long March 5. Why is that?"

"There are probably two reasons for this. One is that we use a lot of composite materials on the Suzaku Heavy Rocket to replace aviation aluminum, which reduces a lot of the rocket's weight. Another reason is that the specific heat capacity of methane fuel is slightly higher than that of kerosene, and the efficiency of our Tianque series engines is also higher. With these two factors combined, the carrying capacity of the Suzaku Heavy Rocket has been improved. In fact, if we give up recycling our Suzaku Heavy Rocket, we can increase its carrying capacity a lot more, but in that case, the cost of launching it once is too high, so it is generally not adopted."

……

As time went by, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more tense. When the countdown reached 1000 minutes, the last group of staff also evacuated from the rocket launch tower. The area meters around the rocket launch tower was cleared, and all employees of Ruida Technology and reporters and cameramen were driven out. Only some cameras that had been debugged were left in place, ready to record the shocking scene at the moment of the rocket launch. After Ruan Xiaoshuang and the live broadcast team installed the cameras, they also evacuated to a place far away from the rocket launch tower for live broadcast. They saw the people from the Ruida Aerospace live broadcast team flying several drones to take pictures from an aerial perspective, and they couldn't help but regret not bringing drones with them.

"It's a great idea to use a quadcopter to film the rocket launch from the air. Why didn't we think of it?"

"It's not too late to think about it now. We can discuss it with the live broadcast team of Ruida Aerospace and ask them to share the video signal shot by the drone with us."

"That's a good idea. Who should we send over to negotiate?"

"Let me go over and tell them for you. This is all for the promotion of Ruida Aerospace. I think they won't refuse." The person who spoke was Wu Ziqiang. Before coming, President Qiao and President Cao repeatedly told him to try his best to cooperate with Ruan Xiaoshuang and his team to do a good job of live broadcasting. Now it's just a matter of helping to say hello, which is nothing to Wu Ziqiang.

"Then thank you, Mr. Wu. When the live broadcast is over, I will treat Mr. Wu to a feast."

"Forget it. Here in Reda Space City, all meals are free. You don't even have a chance to treat us."

With Wu Ziqiang's help, he got the video signal of the drone. The live broadcast team of Ruida Aerospace directly sent a video signal receiver with an external antenna to Ruan Xiaoshuang and his team. As long as it was plugged into the director's desk, it could receive the video signals sent back by the three drones.

"What type of drone is this? The pictures taken are so clear, at least 4K high-definition pictures? The drone is so far away, but the pictures transmitted in real time are so clear and stable. This is amazing." The staff of the Ruixue Interactive Entertainment live broadcast team are also veterans of outdoor live broadcasts, and they are naturally familiar with drones. As soon as they received the video signal, they found something wrong. The picture was too clear and too stable. There are generally two types of image transmission modules used in civilian drones. One is analog image transmission, which has poor image quality and short transmission distance and is on the verge of being eliminated. The second is digital image transmission, which modulates the image data into digital signals and transmits them through radio. This type of image transmission has a long transmission distance and clearer pictures, but it is slightly more expensive. It is generally used on high-end drones. The drones used by the Ruida Aerospace live broadcast team must use digital image transmission, and it is not ordinary digital image transmission. This clarity and transmission distance have exceeded ordinary drones by a lot.

"This is a long-endurance drone developed by Ruida Technology Company specifically for our live broadcast team. It uses graphene batteries and SDR ultra-long-distance image transmission technology. It can achieve a three-hour flight time and can transmit 4K high-definition images within three kilometers." The young man who came to deliver the receiver said proudly.

It is said that poor students have more stationery, but in fact, which student doesn't like novel and useful stationery? Ruan Xiaoshuang and the live broadcast team members have no resistance to the high-performance shooting equipment. One of the young men with a camera hanging on his chest asked impatiently: "Do you sell this drone to the public? How much is it?"

"This drone is currently an internal product and is only provided to the internal use of Ruida Group. We don't know whether it will be mass-produced and sold to the outside world. If you want to buy one, you can call Ruida Technology's customer service for consultation."

"Such a powerful drone will surely become a hot-selling product once it is launched on the market. At least those of us who do outdoor live broadcasting will have one on average."

As they chatted, time flew by. When the countdown reached 15 minutes, a new instruction came from the loudspeaker: "Open the remaining rotating platforms."

As the command was issued, the rotating platform wrapped around the heavy Suzaku rocket slowly opened to both sides. The more than 50-meter-high heavy Suzaku rocket was fully displayed in the live broadcast for the first time.

"Through the live broadcast, we can see that the revolving platform that was originally wrapped around the rocket has been completely opened to both sides. Now there are only three sets of swing arms connecting the rocket and the launch tower. Engineer Wu, can you tell netizens about the functions of the revolving platform and the swing arms?"

"Of course there is no problem with this. The rotating platform is part of the rocket launch tower. There are four groups from bottom to top, numbered one to four." (End of this chapter)
