Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Yes, after several days of equipment repair, maintenance and transformation, the aircraft production line has been refurbished and can be put into production. Immediately, Qiao Ruida transferred more than a thousand engineers and workers from the rocket production factory to the aircraft production line to try to produce the first space plane. Of course, this makeshift aircraft production line can only produce the body of the space plane. The core energy system Ark reactor and power system anti-gravity engine cannot be produced at present. The production of these two core components requires a lot of new materials and ultra-high processing precision, which is not what this production line can meet now. Especially the Ark reactor involves cold fusion reaction, and even the theoretical basis is not perfect. It is difficult to produce it. There is no way. At present, these two core components can only be obtained by Qiao Ruida's gold finger copying. After the completion of the construction of the third phase of Ruida Aerospace City, several unmanned workshops controlled by full robots may be built to produce Ark reactors and anti-gravity engines.

For the next month, Qiao Ruida spent every day in the aircraft production workshop, watching with his own eyes an aerospace plane being assembled bit by bit from scratch. The sense of accomplishment was truly unparalleled. This might be the charm of large-scale industry.

Du Qingqing stayed with Qiao Ruida for half a month in the Aerospace City, and then rushed back to Beijing to continue her studies and handle the affairs of the charity foundation. In addition to participating in the production of aerospace planes, Qiao Ruida would also take some time to remotely handle the affairs of the group company. Fortunately, all the major subsidiaries under the group are now on the right track, and there are not many things that need Qiao Ruida to make decisions. With the help of Jarvis, it can still be handled.

In mid-October, Ruida Technology and Ruida Automobile held autumn new product launch conferences. Ruida Automobile released a new pickup truck at the conference, further enriching the company's product line. At the same time, it launched a high-end RV based on a pickup truck to meet the needs of some car enthusiasts who like self-driving tours. Ruida Technology's autumn conference was also lively. In addition to the routine release of the latest models of Xiaoda mobile phones and Ruida laptops, they also launched an epoch-making product, that is, a 3D holographic projector.

3D holographic projectors can project very realistic 3D images without the help of any medium, almost reaching the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing. 3D holographic projectors are divided into three models: large, medium and small according to the size of the projection. The small one, that is, the home type, can also project a 2mx2mx2m-sized stereoscopic image, which is a perfect substitute for home TVs and projectors. The medium-sized projector can project a 8mx8mx8m-sized stereoscopic image, which is prepared for various cinemas to play 3D movies, for the performance company to create stage effects, and for major supermarkets to place advertising films. As for large 3D holographic projectors, they are customized products with almost no restrictions on the size of the projection. As long as you are willing to spend money, it is no problem to turn a bare hill into a Huaguo Mountain with towering ancient trees and clear springs.

In addition to the three models of 3D holographic projectors sold above, there is also a top-level model with higher projection clarity and larger projection scale. Only a few devices are needed to be used in combination to cover a small town with false projection, achieving the purpose of confusing satellites and reconnaissance aircraft with the real thing. Because the effect of this top-level 3D holographic projector is too amazing, its sales are restricted. Currently, only the military has purchased a batch. As for where it is used, it is a military secret, and even the manufacturer, Ruida Technology, has no way of knowing.

With a 3D holographic projector, of course, there must be supporting 3D film sources. For this reason, Ruida Technology Company has launched a 3D film conversion software that can convert existing movies, TV series, and short films into 3D images through intelligent calculations and supplement 3D depth of field information. If it is a 3D movie that originally contains 3D information, after the conversion, the whole scene is almost perfect, and there is no flaw or distortion no matter from which angle you watch it. However, the clarity cannot be guaranteed. It is basically qualified to play it on a home 3D holographic projector, but the effect is not very good when played on a medium-sized 3D holographic projector. If it is an ordinary movie or TV series, the 3D film source after conversion can only guarantee the front viewing effect when it is projected. If you switch to the side or back of the holographic projection to watch, there will be problems such as character distortion, scene mosaic, prop dislocation, etc.

In addition to converting film sources, Ruida Technology has also launched a full set of 3D holographic imaging cameras that can shoot native 3D holographic images. When the film shot with this holographic camera is played on a 3D holographic projector, it can perfectly restore the real scene without missing any details. Moreover, this kind of film has high enough clarity that it will not be blurred when played on a medium or large 3D holographic projector. It can be said that this 3D holographic camera is the only choice for major film and television companies to create 3D holographic blockbusters. It is a new type of shooting equipment that major directors and photographers must master.

After the two companies' new products were put on sale, they were immediately favored by consumers and the sales were hot. In particular, the Xiaoda mobile phone and the 3D holographic projector were sold out in just two minutes after being put on the shelves in the Ruida Mall. After multiple replenishments and pre-sales, they were still sold out in seconds. The sales situation of the offline Ruida House is similar. In the early morning, before the store opened, there was already a long line at the door. After the door opened, these people came directly to the counter, or bought Xiaoda mobile phones, or bought home 3D holographic projectors, or bought both. Some wealthy guys even bought several at a time. I don’t know if they were scalpers or bought them as gifts for relatives and friends. Under such a rush to buy, the stock that was originally prepared for sale for a week was sold out on the first day of sale.

The senior executives of Reda Technology did not expect that the Xiaoda mobile phone and 3D holographic projector would be so popular. They were sold out online and offline just one day after they were launched. They could only contact Rockchip Foundry, Reda Electronics Factory, and other foundry companies to increase the production capacity of Xiaoda mobile phones and 3D holographic projectors, while holding an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"Our Xiaoda mobile phone is priced at 999, but its performance is no worse than other companies' flagship phones. It can be said to be inexpensive and of good quality, and it has a good reputation established by the previous generation of products. It is understandable that it is selling so well. But what about this small 3D holographic projector? It is priced at 9999. So many people are rushing to buy something worth tens of thousands of dollars. Is the consumption power of the Chinese people so strong? Millions of units were in stock, and they were sold out in less than two minutes after they were put on the shelves. We created sales of 100 billion in just two minutes. This is the first time I have seen such a situation in all my years of sales." A deputy manager of the sales department exclaimed at the meeting.

"Who says it's not true? The sales in just two minutes are more than the previous few months combined. That's more than 99 billion RMB, a lot of small change. The sales today alone are more than % of domestic companies."

"I am worried that scalpers may have participated in today's rush to buy, especially 3D holographic projectors. This disruptive product is the hardest hit by scalpers' speculation. When we were considering the pricing of home 3D holographic projectors, we set the price at 9999 based on the idea of ​​giving back to users and making small profits but quick turnover. We cannot let these scalpers get away with hoarding and arbitrage."

"We need to strike hard at these scalpers. I think there are two things we must do immediately. One is to set a purchase limit for home-use 3D holographic projectors. One person can only buy one, and purchase it with real name and ID. It would be even better if we can bind user information through technical means. Another is to contact more foundries to expand the production capacity of 3D holographic projectors as much as possible, and use massive supplies to crush those scalpers and let their stockpiled goods rot in their hands." "The current problem is that 3D holographic projectors are brand new products, and those electronic foundries do not have the production technology of 3D holographic projectors, nor do they have the production conditions. The equipment must be updated and the employees must be trained in technology to produce qualified products, and all of this will take a long time."

"I just received an email from an overseas agent asking about overseas purchase and sales of 3D holographic projectors, and I don't know how to reply to them.

"What else can I say? Just say that the production capacity is insufficient and we'll discuss it later. Right now our production capacity is limited and we can't even meet domestic sales demands. As for developing overseas markets, let's wait and see."

"By the way, the first batch of medium-sized 3D holographic projectors ordered by the Cinema Alliance have been installed and tested. What is the current feedback?"

"Well, it has been installed and tested, and some theaters that have been renovated have even been opened to the public. Those who saw the 3D holographic film for the first time were stunned. Then this first batch of audiences shared their experience through various channels and invited friends to watch the holographic movie. Up to now, all theaters that allow 3D holographic viewing are hard to get tickets, and they are even more popular than when 3D movies were first released. Many newspapers and magazines have praised our 3D holographic projector to the sky, saying that it is the fourth revolution in watching movies after sound movies, color movies, and 3D movies."

"In fact, the so-called 3D holographic films currently being played are all converted from original 3D movies. When played on medium-sized 3D holographic projectors, the viewing effect is just unsatisfactory. The viewing effect is far from the real 3D holographic films shot by the 3D holographic cameras we have developed. When the first batch of holographic films truly shot by 3D holographic cameras are released, it will be the beginning of a real revolution in viewing movies."

"Well, I have also received the second batch of 3D holographic projector purchase orders from the Cinema Alliance, with the quantity reaching 1000 units. In addition, two overseas cinema chains have also sent inquiry letters, asking whether medium-sized 3D holographic projectors are sold overseas and what the price is. Mr. Zhao, how do you think I should respond to them?"

Zhao Hongcai thought for a moment and replied, "The Cinema Alliance can directly take the order, and the price will be the original 200 million per unit. As for those overseas customers, the price cannot be so cheap, and they can be quoted at 100 million US dollars per unit. By the way, remember to ask colleagues in the technical department to add a positioning module to the 3D holographic projectors sold domestically to prevent the Cinema Alliance from reselling the equipment."

"Hiss——" Everyone at the meeting gasped when they heard Zhao Hongcai set the price. The same product is sold for 200 million RMB per unit in China and 100 million USD abroad. This is treating foreign customers like fat pigs. However, when everyone thinks about it, in the past few years, those Western companies sold us advanced equipment such as lithography machines and five-axis machine tools, and also increased the price several times, and also reduced the configuration and set various restrictions. Now Ruida Technology has differentiated the prices of 3D holographic projectors at home and abroad, which can be regarded as giving someone a taste of their own medicine. At least Ruida Technology did not reduce the configuration or limit the performance of the equipment it supplies overseas, which is already a conscientious company.

"Mr. Zhao, many domestic and foreign film and television companies have placed orders for 3D holographic cameras from us. As for the pricing of 3D holographic cameras, are there two prices for domestic and foreign markets? Also, the day after tomorrow, Mr. James Cameron will lead a team to visit our company. How do you think we should receive him?" A manager in charge of overseas sales raised his question.

"3D holographic cameras are used to produce 3D holographic film sources. Only when there are more real holographic films can we show the real viewing effect of our 3D holographic projectors, thereby promoting the sales of 3D holographic projectors. I think there should be no discriminatory pricing for 3D holographic cameras. Regardless of whether it is a domestic or foreign film and television company, the purchase price is calculated at 500 million per unit. Mr. Cameron is a pioneer in promoting new film technologies. His visit this time is probably aimed at our 3D holographic camera technology. We must do a good job of reception and fully demonstrate to him the powerful functions of 3D holographic cameras and 3D holographic projectors. If Mr. Cameron's next movie can be shot with our 3D holographic camera, the promotion effect of our 3D holographic equipment will be absolutely first-class."

An impromptu meeting lasted two hours before it was over. Two days later, a new batch of 3D holographic projectors went on sale. The 3D holographic projectors sold at the Reda Technology flagship store in the Reda Mall and the offline Reda House all adopted a real-name purchase mechanism, with a limit of one per person and the owner must be bound, which reduces the operating space for scalpers to a minimum. At the same time, James Cameron and his filming team took a plane and quietly appeared at the Beijing Airport. Zhao Hongcai led several executives to personally welcome Cameron and his party at the airport. (End of this chapter)
