Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Qiao Ruida withdrew his gaze from the screen and let out a long breath. Unexpectedly, the script of the movie "The Wandering Earth" was formed so early. Although some plot details are still a little different from the final movie version, the general story framework is already very complete. In the previous life, why did this pioneering Chinese science fiction movie not be released until 2019? Did it take five years to shoot and produce the entire movie? This is obviously impossible. Most of that time was wasted on attracting investment. After all, Director Guo is so young and has only made a few low-budget films. He is not famous. He is going to prepare for a science fiction blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions. The process of attracting investment must be difficult.

Qiao Ruida took out his cell phone and called Zhao Hongcai, but no one answered for a long time. When the call was about to be automatically disconnected, someone picked up the phone. "Hello, is this Mr. Qiao? You called me so late. Is there something urgent?"

Zhao Hongcai's voice was obviously lowered by several decibels on purpose, presumably because he didn't want to wake up his sleeping wife. It wasn't until this moment that Qiao Ruida realized that it was already early in the morning. It was indeed a bit unkind to call his subordinates at this time, a bit like Zhou Baopi's cock crowing in the middle of the night. "Old Zhao, I'm so sorry to disturb your rest. I just finished reading the script of The Wandering Earth that you sent me, and I feel that it is very well written, with bold settings, rigorous deliberation, and rich details. Through the script, I seem to see a complete and magnificent imaginary world. If this movie can be shot in full according to the script, it will definitely become the pioneering work of Chinese science fiction movies."

"Mr. Qiao, you are absolutely right. When Director Guo Fan told me the story outline of The Wandering Earth, I felt that it was very promising. After reading the full script, I was also deeply moved. I felt that it would be a pity if such a good script was not made into a movie. That's why I sent it to you, Mr. Qiao, as soon as possible. Since you also think this script is very good, then shall we take over the investment in this science fiction movie?"

"Well, then invest. As long as the filming cost can be controlled within 46 billion, just go for it. By the way, there is an original novel for "The Wandering Earth", right? Who holds the film and television adaptation rights now?" Qiao Ruida vaguely remembered that the mainland box office of "The Wandering Earth" in its previous life was 7 billion yuan, and the global cumulative box office was 3 million US dollars. Now with the addition of D holographic technology, the box office will definitely be higher than this number. If the investment is controlled within billion, it will be a guaranteed profit.

"Yes, the original author of "The Wandering Earth" is Mr. Liu Cixin, and the film and television adaptation rights are currently in the hands of China Film. Should we contact China Film and buy the adaptation rights?" Zhao Hongcai had already put on his clothes and came to the study, and his voice had returned to normal.

"It would be best if we could buy the adaptation rights. If China Film Group is unwilling to sell, we can discuss co-investing in filming. After all, our Reda Technology is not a film and television company. We are completely outsiders in filming movies. If China Film Group is willing to provide some resources from the film and television industry, it would be a good choice for us to jointly invest in filming a movie. Our ultimate goal of investing in The Wandering Earth is to promote medium-sized 3D holographic projectors. It doesn't matter how much the movie makes at the box office, as long as we don't lose money."

"Okay, Mr. Qiao, I've taken note of what you said. I'll contact Director Guo tomorrow to discuss the investment and copyright issues of The Wandering Earth."

"Well, I trust you to do the job. During the filming process, in addition to providing 3D holographic cameras, we can also open up some internal permissions of the Pangu model to the filming team to help them make the film's special effects. Since we are going to shoot China's first real science fiction blockbuster, we must try our best to make it perfect, and the special effects can't be lame. That's all I have to say, Lao Zhao, you can go back to sleep."

There are two versions of the current Pangu model, one is the public version and the other is the internal version. The public version is the version open to the public. It is based on a server cluster built with R1 computing power cards and uses Yishen as the main artificial intelligence program. It can complete tasks such as multi-language translation, voice customer service, AI drawing, image recognition, etc. The internal version, as the name suggests, is the artificial intelligence program used within the Ruida Group. It is based on quantum supercomputing and uses strong artificial intelligence Jarvis as the main program. In terms of computing power, functions, and intelligence, it completely crushes the public version. Taking the production of film and television special effects as an example, if the public version of the Pangu model is used, it can only reach the level of a third-rate special effects studio, which is only slightly better than the five-cent special effects. If the internal version of the Pangu model is used, as long as Jarvis is willing to help, it is not a problem to completely crush the top Hollywood special effects companies. With a 3D holographic projector, it can even reach the level of being indistinguishable from the real thing.

"Okay, Mr. Qiao, good night."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ruida went to the bathroom, washed up quickly, returned to the bedroom, and fell asleep. In recent days, he was busy producing aerospace planes during the day and handling company affairs remotely at night, which made him exhausted and he basically fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

Fan Zichao is a top student who graduated from Beihang University. At the beginning of the year, he entered Ruida Aerospace Company through campus recruitment and engaged in spacecraft design and construction. When Fan Zichao was in middle school, the Shenzhou VI manned spacecraft was successfully launched, and China's manned space flight officially set sail. After watching the launch and recovery live broadcast of Shenzhou VI, the young Fan Zichao regarded the space hero Yang Liwei as his idol and aspired to become an astronaut. As we all know, all of China's astronauts are from the Air Force pilots, without exception. In order to realize his dream, Fan Zichao participated in the flight recruitment selection when he was in his senior year of high school. As a result, he did not meet the standards in the physical fitness test, missed the opportunity to become a pilot, and also ruined his dream of becoming an astronaut.

But Fan Zichao still didn't give up. He planned to save the country in a roundabout way and applied for Beihang University to study spacecraft design. Fortunately, Fan Zichao has always had a good mind and his academic performance has always been among the best. After the college entrance examination, he was admitted to Beihang University with a high score of 650. As the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser. During his college years, in addition to studying hard, Fan Zichao also actively engaged in physical exercise to make up for his physical shortcomings. But there is no regret medicine in the world. Once the opportunity is lost, it can never be recovered. No matter how good Fan Zichao's academic performance is or how strong his body is, he can only become a rocket designer or a spacecraft designer. It is basically impossible for him to drive a spacecraft, fly out of the earth, and fly into space. Even Fan Zichao himself has basically given up and gave up his dream of becoming an astronaut.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. Not long after Fan Zichao joined Ruida Aerospace, he got another chance to become an astronaut. Earlier this year, Ruida Aerospace formed its own astronaut team. Except for a small number of members recruited from the national astronaut team, the rest were recruited from the society. Of course, if Ruida Group employees also want to be astronauts, they can also participate in the selection test. When Fan Zichao saw this recruitment information on his company's official website, he was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. He sorted out his resume overnight. Early the next morning, when the registration channel was just opened, he submitted his resume.

After the successful registration, there are physical examinations, written tests, and interviews. As the saying goes, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and Fan Zichao's efforts during college were not in vain. In the physical examination, his test scores were all excellent, and in the subsequent written test, he scored close to full marks. During the interview, the chief examiner was his senior from the same school and his superior Wu Ziqiang. The two knew each other when they were in school, and they completed multiple projects together after working. Now Wu Ziqiang saw that his rather capable junior brother actually appeared in the interview examination room for the astronaut selection. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I heard that Zichao's dream is to become an astronaut. I didn't expect you to really come to participate in the astronaut selection."

It is easier to get things done when you meet someone you know, and Fan Zichao met all the requirements for astronaut recruitment, so he was naturally approved. So Fan Zichao joined the astronaut team of Ruida Aerospace Company as he wished and became a reserve astronaut. In the next few months, Fan Zichao had the most difficult days. He learned various aerospace-related knowledge in the morning, did various adaptive exercises in the afternoon, and went on simulators in the evening to familiarize himself with the operation of various spacecraft.

Fan Zichao felt that the astronaut training in the past few months was even more tiring than his senior year in high school. Many of his comrades who joined the astronaut corps could not stand the boring and extremely hard training process and chose to give up halfway. More than half of them were eliminated during the training, and only 12 people made it to the end, and Fan Zichao was one of them.

On this day, Fan Zichao was concentrating on rendezvous and docking operation training on a recently delivered space plane simulator, when Captain Xie Duanyang pushed the door and walked in. He stood behind Fan Zichao, watching Fan Zichao skillfully operate the space plane and complete a perfect rendezvous and docking with the space station, and nodded with satisfaction. When Fan Zichao completed a complete rendezvous and docking, Xie Duanyang walked over, tapped his helmet with his finger, and said, "Zichao, stop for a moment, I have something to ask you."

Hearing the captain's voice behind him, Fan Zichao was startled. It was not until Xie Duanyang repeated what he had just said that Fan Zichao came to his senses, took off his helmet, left his seat, and followed the captain out of the simulation operation room.

"Zichao, let me ask you something. Are you still doing live streaming recently?" Xie Duanyang looked into Fan Zichao's eyes and asked seriously.

Hearing this question, Fan Zichao's right eyelid twitched wildly. You know, because of live broadcasting during evening self-study, Xie Duanyang caught him twice as an example, and he made two self-criticisms in front of all the members of the astronaut team. Now Xie Duanyang asked about the live broadcast again, Fan Zichao patted his chest and said, "Captain, since I made a self-criticism in front of all the members of the team, I have never touched the live broadcast software again. If you don't believe me, look at my phone, all the live broadcast software has been uninstalled."

"Zichao, don't overreact. I'm looking for you this time because the company has assigned a new task to our astronaut team, which is to find someone who knows how to live broadcast the entire test flight of the space shuttle."

Hearing the captain's reminder, Fan Zichao was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses and patted his chest and said, "Captain, you have found the right person to do the live broadcast. When I was a freshman, I started doing aerospace live broadcasts to earn tuition. With so many years of experience, I am familiar with doing the live broadcast explanations, and I will definitely not make mistakes."

"Well, you prepare for the next two days. On Saturday morning, come with me on the space shuttle for the first manned test flight. At that time, I will be responsible for operating the plane, and you will be responsible for the live broadcast explanation. Is that ok?"

Fan Zichao subconsciously put his legs together, saluted, and said loudly: "Promise to complete the mission. Um, no, Captain, what did you just say? We are going to test-fly the aerospace plane on Saturday, the same aerospace plane as this simulator? Does our company really have an aerospace plane research and development project?"

Xie Duanyang said in a deep voice: "Isn't this nonsense? Without the aerospace plane, where did the aerospace plane simulator you used for training come from? Do you think it's a game console?"

"You're right. We actually play the aerospace plane simulator as a flight game in private." Of course, Fan Zichao only said the above words in his mind and he would definitely not say them outwardly.

"That's great! Our astronaut team finally has a spacecraft that can go into space. Captain, you don't know that we have been flying simulators every day these days. It's so boring. We have long wanted to fly a real thing and go out of the earth to see the world."

After seeing Xie Duanyang off, Fan Zichao was so excited that he shared the good news with several of his comrades in the pilot squadron, which aroused unanimous condemnation from everyone.

"I always thought that the space plane simulator was a game console. After all, the configuration of the plane is too amazing, with cold nuclear fusion power and anti-gravity engine. I never thought that our company actually has a related scientific research project, and it is about to take off. This is too dreamy."

"Who said it wasn't? Our company has been developing reusable launch vehicles for the past two years. I thought that our astronauts would definitely take a launch vehicle when they went to space for the first time. I never thought that the company also hid the killer weapon, the space plane."

"Xiao Chao, you are really lucky. Because you know how to do a live broadcast, you got the mission to take the first flight of the space plane. This is a major event in the history of space exploration. If you are not careful, you will go down in history."

"Yeah, you are such a jerk. If you were better than us in aircraft piloting skills and got the first flight mission, that would be fine. But you won by relying on a niche skill like live streaming. How can we accept that?"

"Hehe, this is what they call "more skills are better than less". I see you guys watch a lot of live broadcasts, but why don't you think about learning from those anchors and mastering a new skill?" (End of this chapter)
