Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"Fusion power stations are new things after all. You and I know that they are safe. You have to convince the general public. In the initial experimental stage, it is better to place them in a remote place so that everyone can rest assured."

While the few people were talking, the convoy continued to move forward and soon arrived at the end of the road, Ruida Space City. Compared with last year, the area of ​​Ruida Space City has increased a lot. The first and second phases of the project have been completed, and the third phase has also started. Its planned area is larger than the first and second phases combined. Looking down from the air, there are all kinds of factories in the space city, and there are many five- and six-story dormitory buildings. There are also some shopping malls, hotels, cinemas, bars, supermarkets and other functional buildings, which are concentrated in one area. It already looks like a heavy industrial city. Another very big change is that there are many more green plants in Ruida Space City, including some big trees, hollies, turf and flowers. In this way, there is a lot more vitality in the space city, and the air is also much fresher.

Knowing that Qiao Ruida and his group were about to arrive, Cao Yifei, general manager of Ruida Aerospace, and a group of senior executives were waiting at the entrance of Aerospace City. After seeing them, the convoy pulled over and Qiao Ruida got out of the car and shook hands with Cao Yifei.

"Mr. Qiao, Manager Du, welcome to Ruida Aerospace City!" Cao Yifei said enthusiastically.

"Well, I haven't been here for a few months, and this aerospace city has changed a lot. Lao Cao, thank you for your hard work!" Qiao Ruida patted Cao Yifei on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"It's nothing, this is what I should do. Mr. Qiao, you haven't had lunch yet, right? Why don't we go directly to the cafeteria to eat?" Cao Yifei suggested.

Qiao Ruida looked up at the sky and found that the sun was already a little west. It was obviously past noon and it was indeed time for lunch. So he nodded and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria. I haven't eaten for a long time. I am really hungry now."

Qiao Ruida invited Cao Yifei to get on his SUV, stepped on the accelerator, and drove directly towards the canteen. As for the other people in the team, they needed to drive the truck to the warehouse and unload the goods before they could go to the canteen for dinner.

It was past lunchtime, and there were few people in the cafeteria. Qiao Ruida, Cao Yifei and others put two tables together, moved a few chairs over, and sat down one after another.

The arrival of Qiao Ruida, Cao Yifei and other company leaders alarmed the entire kitchen. An old man wearing a white chef's hat walked out of the kitchen, walked to Qiao Ruida's side, bowed and said:
"Boss Qiao, Manager Du, you haven't been here for a while. What would you like to eat? I'll cook it for you."

As he spoke, the chef took out a menu and handed it to Qiao Ruida.

Qiao Ruida took the menu and ordered a few dishes according to his taste. "I want a plate of four-happiness meatballs, a plate of chopped pepper fish head, and a plate of sweet and sour pork. You guys can order the rest."

"Give me one portion of shredded pork with fish flavor and one portion of stir-fried green beans."

"I want a plate of sea cucumber with scallions and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup."

Everyone ordered a bunch of dishes, and the chef took the menu and went back to the kitchen to cook. It was already past lunchtime, and apart from Qiao Ruida and his group, there were few workers eating here. Dozens of chefs were very idle. After getting the menu, everyone worked together, one dish per person, and soon all the dishes were cooked. The waiters brought the food and brought it up like a stream, and soon the table was full.

"Don't be polite, eat while it's hot!" Qiao Ruida picked up the chopsticks and asked everyone to start eating. Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing were really hungry. They didn't care about their image when eating. They ate like wolves. On the other hand, Cao Yifei and several other company executives were very restrained in eating. They would chew for a long time before putting a bite of food into their mouths. Obviously, these people may have eaten lunch. Of course, they didn't have much appetite to eat again.

After filling his stomach, Qiao Ruida took Cao Yifei and several company executives to the office building for a meeting.

Qiao Ruida asked directly: "Manager Cao, tell me how the Star Rocket is being prepared. How about the lunar probe? Is it debugged? Can it be launched on time?"

"The Star Rocket was assembled two weeks ago and passed the ground test successfully. It has now been moved to Launch Tower 2 and is ready to launch at any time. The lunar probe was delivered to the Space City three days ago and has now been installed in the Star Rocket's upper stage. It has been tested twice with the Star Rocket and no problems have been found."

This was the first launch of the Star-rocket rocket, and the rocket body used too many cutting-edge technologies. There was a possibility of accidents during the launch, which would lead to launch failure. It was impossible to undertake satellite launch missions with such risky rocket launch tests. It would be a waste if the Star-rocket had such a powerful carrying capacity and was not used. After much thought, Qiao Ruida thought of using it for lunar exploration.

Ruida New Energy Company's controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor has already started construction, using deuterium-tritium fusion, which is expensive and difficult to obtain. Even if the controlled nuclear fusion reactor experiment is successful, it will not be able to be promoted on a large scale due to insufficient raw materials. To completely solve this problem, replacing the fusion reaction fuel is a good way, among which helium-3 has the best effect.

This is because the reaction equation of helium-3 is: 3He+4He→2He+1(12.860H), ΔE=MeV, in which the protium nucleus (proton) is easily shielded, and the reaction does not generate neutrons and high-energy rays, and there will be no nuclear radiation, so helium- is also known as the most ideal clean nuclear energy in the future. However, the content of helium- on Earth is very rare and difficult to extract. Only celestial bodies like the moon without magnetic field protection can be continuously blown by the solar wind. Over billions of years, a large amount of helium- has accumulated in the surface soil.

Now, taking advantage of the launch test of the Star Rocket, launching a lunar probe to the moon to try to collect, extract, and transport helium-3 is a good choice. However, the Star Rocket launch is imminent. If this lunar probe is handed over to Ruida Aerospace for research and development, there will be no time at all. Fortunately, Qiao Ruida is a cheating player. He directly found an unmanned lunar probe Chang'e 7 from the Internet in the future, copied it, and made some modifications. He added a helium-3 detector and excavation and purification equipment, and sent it to Ruida Aerospace City. Now the rocket and the lunar probe are ready, just waiting for the launch window to arrive and ignite and launch.

"When is the rocket launch window?" Qiao Ruida continued to ask.

"The launch window is tentatively scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, but the specific decision will depend on the weather conditions."

Qiao Ruida nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Well done. As long as our rocket launch is successful, our company will have mastered the production and recovery capabilities of medium, heavy, and super-heavy series rockets. In terms of launch vehicles, we have basically achieved the ultimate. No matter what kind of satellite the customer brings, we can help them complete the launch. Let's talk about the construction status of the third phase of the space city. How much of the infrastructure work has been completed now, and when will it be completed?"

A middle-aged man with a bald head took over the conversation and said, "In terms of infrastructure projects, my team has been following up and I am more familiar with the situation. Let me answer this question. At present, about a quarter of the third phase of the Ruida Aerospace City project has been completed. According to the current construction speed, it will be completed and put into use by this time next year. The airport and super-large factory building that you specifically asked for, as the first batch of projects to be started, have been completed. But I don't understand. Aren't we building an aerospace city? Why build such a large airport? Will all the material supplies of our Ruida Aerospace City be transported by air in the future?"

Qiao Ruida raised his head, looked at several executives attending the meeting, and said, "All of you present are core executives of Ruida Aerospace Company. Some information should be disclosed to you. Our Ruida Research Institute has developed an anti-gravity engine technology and passed the actual machine test. In the next few months, Ruida Aerospace will start building a real space plane. According to the preliminary plan, the space plane will be larger than the A380, use controlled nuclear fusion energy, and be driven by four anti-gravity engines. It can freely enter and exit the atmosphere and can maneuver around the world. If the mood strikes one day, it will not be a problem to drive the space plane directly to the moon or Mars for a tour."

Information about the space shuttle has always been kept confidential. Only Qiao Ruida and some scientists who have transformed from dimensional puppets participated in the early technical research and development and theoretical verification work. Cao Yifei and others were completely unaware of it. After listening to Qiao Ruida's description, they thought he was joking.

"What? Controlled nuclear fusion and anti-gravity engines. Mr. Qiao, are you kidding me? Are these technologies that can only appear in science fiction works really possible?"

"Isn't it said that controlled nuclear fusion is still 50 years away from success? How come they have achieved a technological breakthrough so quickly? I haven't seen any newspapers reporting on it?"

"Controlled nuclear fusion is OK, at least there is a theoretical basis. No matter how difficult it is to implement, it is just an engineering problem. As for the anti-gravity engine, there is not even a theoretical basis. It is unknown how long it will take to develop a real thing."

"Mr. Qiao, are you telling the truth? Has our company really mastered these two epoch-making technologies?"

Qiao Ruida nodded with a smile and said, "With such a large airport there, how could I be joking? And that super-large factory building is prepared for the construction of aerospace planes. Now that the factory building has been built, I will call the logistics department and ask them to send over the instruments, equipment, parts and raw materials needed to build the aerospace plane."

The research and development process of the space plane mentioned by Qiao Ruida is quite complicated and tortuous. The controlled nuclear fusion technology was obtained by Qiao Ruida's analysis of the Mark Armor. The anti-gravity engine technology was obtained by Jarvis's cracking of Ultron's original technical data. The aircraft body design was jointly developed by Qiao Ruida and Jarvis, referring to the structures and shapes of many classic aircraft in the real world and the Marvel world, and has been optimized for the space environment. The avionics system uses the latest graphene chip hardware, which has powerful computing power, energy saving, and low heat generation. It will not have any problems in dealing with the extreme environment of space. In terms of software, Qiao Ruida built the main architecture and formulated the interactive interface, and Jarvis filled in the code and improved various functions. If such a powerful and fully functional space plane is handed over to other companies to design and produce, it would take five or six years or even more than ten years. It is normal. When it came to Qiao Ruida, it took only a few months to complete the entire design and optimization of the space plane, which is amazing. This was due to Qiao Ruida's constant use of cheating skills and multiple cheats, as well as Jarvis's comprehensive assistance and hard work in completing the basic work.

"That's great! If we have a space plane, the cost of earth-to-space transportation can be further reduced. Then we can enter the satellite launch market at a super low price, kill SpaceX, and achieve a de facto monopoly."

"You are narrow-minded. We have aerospace planes. We can land on the moon and Mars to mine. This is much more promising than launching satellites."

"I remember there is a lot of helium-3 on the moon, which is the best fuel for controlled nuclear fusion. If our space plane is completed and the controlled nuclear fusion experiment is successful, we can fly the space plane to the moon to collect helium-3. The speed of making money will definitely be faster than printing money."

"If the space plane is really built, can we fully launch the space tourism project we are planning?"

"Of course. The climbing speed of the space plane is much slower than that of a launch vehicle, and the G-forces that the passengers have to bear are not very high. As long as they are healthy adults, they can easily withstand them."

"I don't know when the space plane will be built, but I can't wait."

Next, Qiao Ruida learned about the operation of Ruida Space City. Generally speaking, the situation is not bad. Since Ruida Aerospace Company mastered the rocket recovery technology, it has been in the satellite launch market and has no rivals. The only one who can compete with Ruida Aerospace is SPACEX, founded by Musk. They have also initially mastered the rocket first-stage recovery technology, which has greatly reduced the cost of satellite launch. Although SPACEX's quotation for launching satellites is still much more expensive than Ruida Aerospace, it has received many satellite launch orders relying on the endorsement of white people and a sound financial system.

After the meeting, Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing drove to the villa area, where there are 66 single-family villas and 108 townhouses, mainly for executives and core technical personnel who are stationed in the Aerospace City. The villa with the largest area and the most luxurious decoration belongs to Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing. (End of this chapter)
