Super Copy of Great Power Technology

After all the tasks were completed, the Xuannv spaceplane adjusted its direction and began to return. Unlike ordinary manned spacecraft, which only have one return capsule returning to the ground, the spaceplane takes off as a whole and returns as a whole. In the early stage of the return flight, the spaceplane mainly relies on gravity to fall freely. When the speed reaches about 900 meters/S, the anti-gravity engine is started to maintain a constant descent. Such operation can also avoid the occurrence of thermal barriers and increase the safety and comfort of navigation. The only drawback is that the descent speed is a bit slow, and the entire return process lasts more than an hour.

The science popularization about aerospace and the space shuttle was almost complete during the takeoff and mission. When it was time to return, Fan Zichao couldn't think of any new topics, so he simply switched the live broadcast signal to the perspective outside the space shuttle cabin and treated the return process as an aerial photography trip.

"Looking down from space, the outline of China is faintly visible under the starlight. This is a painting that interweaves grandeur and delicacy, with mountains, rivers, cities and villages telling different stories under the night sky.

……

Looking north, the vast grasslands of Mongolian Province are even more vast in the night. The lights of the yurts dot the vast grasslands, and the starry sky complement each other, showing a quiet and mysterious grassland style. China, this ancient oriental land, shows her magnificence and mystery under the shining of stars. Her past and future shine brightly in this boundless universe. "

At 8:30 p.m., the Xuannv spaceplane successfully returned and landed slowly at the newly built airport. Thanks to the vertical take-off and landing technology, the whole process was easy and smooth without any accidents. Seeing the Xuannv landing smoothly, there was a warm applause at the scene, and the flashlights of various mobile phone cameras kept flashing. Everyone wanted to use the equipment in their hands to record this exciting moment.

The ground crew quickly pushed a boarding ramp over and leaned it against the side of the cockpit of the aerospace plane. The cabin door opened inward, and Xie Duanyang and Fan Zichao walked down the ramp one after another, holding their helmets. The applause rang out again, mixed with a lot of cheers and applause. The big boss Qiao Ruida also appeared under the aerospace plane, shook hands with the two astronauts in turn, and said: "Xie Duanyang, Fan Zichao, congratulations, you have created a new history of spaceflight!"

Fan Zichao was probably experiencing this kind of scene for the first time, and his face flushed with excitement, unable to speak. But Xie Duanyang, who was well-informed, spoke more calmly. "Thank you, Mr. Qiao, this is our honor!"

At this time, two beautiful female colleagues came forward and gave a bouquet of flowers to Xie Duanyang and Fan Zichao respectively. The female colleague who gave the flowers to Fan Zichao, for some reason, came forward and kissed Fan Zichao's young and handsome face after giving him the flowers, then covered her pretty face with her hands and ran away. This action caused a burst of laughter, and there were also men and women who were curious, shouting "Be together, be together!". Fan Zichao had just graduated from college not long ago, and had never experienced this before, and his handsome face was flushed with embarrassment.

"Oh, it's really the same person with different fates. We both came back from a test flight, but why didn't any female colleague give me a kiss?" Seeing this scene, Xie Duanyang couldn't help but smacking his lips and complaining.

At this moment, Xie Duanyang's wife came over and wanted to congratulate her husband, but she heard his complaints. She immediately showed her female power and walked over. Taking the opportunity of hugging, she secretly pinched Xie Duanyang's waist and whispered, "Why, you still want to cheat in front of me!"

The sudden attack made Xie Duanyang grimace in pain, but in such a public place, he couldn't lose his composure, so he could only endure the pain and pretend that nothing had happened, while begging for mercy in a low voice: "Wife, spare my life, you know I am just a talker, I have absolutely no practical thoughts."

After the celebration, Xie Duanyang and Fan Zichao stood side by side in front of the Xuannv space plane, took a photo together, and then accepted an exclusive interview with reporters on the scene.

The next day, this photo appeared on the front pages of major newspapers, magazines, and news platforms. Related topics even appeared on the hot search headlines, causing quite a stir online.

In a certain aircraft research institute in Shu, a special meeting was being held. On the projection screen in front was a picture of the Xuannv space shuttle rapidly ascending into space. Dozens of researchers, some white-haired and some extremely smart, sat upright, watching the picture on the screen, their faces full of shock and confusion.

An hour later, the video ended. An old man wearing reading glasses pressed the remote control to turn off the projector, and then said, "Everyone, please tell me what you think of the space shuttle in the video."

"Director, are you sure that the video we are watching was recorded live and not a video from some game?"

"This video does look a bit fake. If private companies can really build such advanced aircraft, what do we aircraft designers need?"

"That's right, now that the aerospace plane has come out, what's the point of our fifth-generation stealth fighter jets?"

"And this anti-gravity engine is just nonsense. Even the theoretical physics community doesn't have any relevant principles or models. How is this possible?"

"This energy system is not right either. What energy density can be so much higher than liquid oxygen and methane that it can support an aircraft to fly directly into space without losing weight?"

……

As soon as everyone opened their mouths, they were all finding fault with the video. No one believed that the space plane in the video really existed and that these things really happened. It was not until the director stood on the podium and cleared his throat that everyone returned to silence.

"I know that many people don't believe it's real after watching the video, but this video was carefully edited from live video without any post-processing or special effects. In other words, this space plane really exists."

The director's words shocked the audience. They all started talking at once, "Oh, no way, such a sci-fi space plane is actually real. I don't believe it!"

"Haha, I watched the live broadcast yesterday, but you didn't believe it when I told you. Now you are dumbfounded after seeing this video."

"Can anyone tell me which research institute developed the aerospace plane in the video, Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, Xi'an Aircraft Corporation, or Harbin Aircraft Corporation?" "We don't know how capable those official research institutes are. They can't even develop a fifth-generation aircraft. They don't have the technical strength to develop an aerospace plane at all."

"If he is not an official researcher, then he must be from a private company. Don't be ridiculous. Which private company has such technical strength?"

"You're right. The Xuannv space plane in the video was indeed developed by a private enterprise. Have you heard of Ruida Aerospace? It's the company that makes reusable rockets."

"Rui Da Aerospace is also an industry of the Rui Da Group, so this is not surprising. The Rui Da Group and their boss Qiao Rui Da are synonymous with black technology. I am not surprised by anything they come up with."

"Director, now that we have aerospace planes, do we still need to continue to optimize the J20?"

"Of course, the J20 will continue to be developed, as the Air Force is still waiting for it to take the lead. As for the aerospace plane, no matter how good its performance is, it is only a civilian product and cannot be used in the military field. However, this aerospace plane has great potential. We can learn from their design and technology as the basis for the development of the next generation of fighter jets."

"The director is right. The aerospace plane is indeed one of the research and development directions of the next generation of military aircraft. It can maneuver around the world and penetrate at supersonic speeds. Unfortunately, we don't have any technical reserves in this area. How about we go to Ruida Aerospace for an inspection and buy some exclusive technology from them?"

"RuiDa Aerospace has RuiDa Group as its backer, so it doesn't have to worry about funding. It would be difficult to buy their core technology."

"If we can't buy the technology, we can invite them to jointly develop aerospace fighters. This is also a good solution."

That afternoon, Ruida Aerospace received an official letter from Chengfei, which said that they would send a team of aircraft developers to visit Ruida Aerospace to learn from them, and hoped that they would give them a reception. Cao Yifei put the official letter on Qiao Ruida's desk and said, "Mr. Qiao, Chengfei sent a letter saying that they would send people to visit and learn from us. How do you think we should receive them?"

Qiao Ruida picked up the official letter, flipped through it, and asked in confusion, "Oh, you said that people from Chengfei are coming to visit Ruida Space City. Aren't they developing aircraft? They have nothing to do with us. What are they doing here?"

"I think they are here for the Xuannv space plane. Its performance is amazing. If it is used in the military field, it will be very useful."

"Well, only the Xuannv can attract the military's attention. When their researchers arrive, we just need to follow the formal reception procedures."

With the successful maiden flight of Xuannv, Ruida Space City was really lively for a while, with various media reporters and visiting teams coming in an endless stream. It was not until half a month later that it gradually calmed down. On this morning, Chengfei's visiting inspection team took a half-new bus and came to Ruida Space City very low-key. Qiao Ruida and Cao Yifei came out together to receive the inspection team.

"Chief Engineer Yang, Chief Engineer Sun, welcome to our Ruida Aerospace City. Thank you for your hard work along the way!" Qiao Ruida shook hands with the two middle-aged men who led the team and said enthusiastically.

"Hello, Mr. Qiao. I'm really sorry to bother you to greet us in person."

"Hello, Mr. Qiao. I saw him look so young in the news earlier and thought he was beautified. I didn't expect that he is even more handsome in person than in the photo."

"Haha, Chief Sun, you are too kind. This is all I have left. Chief Yang, Chief Sun, you have come from afar. Do you want me to arrange a room for you to rest for a while?"

"No, no, we've already slept in the car. Time is precious. Let's start the tour now." Chief Engineer Yang pushed up his glasses and said
"That's fine. Chief Engineer Yang, Chief Engineer Sun, please come this way. Do you see that tall workshop in front? That's the aerospace plane production workshop."

The Chengfei team did not expect that the first stop Qiao Ruida took them to visit was the aerospace plane production workshop. Shouldn't a core workshop like this be kept secret and strictly prevented from leaking? Qiao Ruida showed it to these experts so openly. Wasn't he afraid of leaking?
Chief Engineer Sun raised this question in person. Qiao Ruida laughed and said, "Chief Engineer Sun, don't worry. This workshop is only the final assembly workshop of the aerospace plane. The real core components, such as the Ark reactor and the anti-gravity engine, are not produced here, not even in Ruida Space City."

Hearing Qiao Ruida say this, the two chief designers were inevitably disappointed. What they are most interested in is the energy and power system of the aerospace plane. Because of the late start and insufficient investment, domestic aircraft engines have not been very powerful. The research and development process of many key models of aircraft engines is seriously lagging behind, so that many new aircraft have to install other models of aircraft engines for test flights. The J20, which is still in the test flight improvement state, has encountered this problem. Now the test aircraft has been off the production line for several years, but the matching WS-15 engine has not been finalized and mass-produced, resulting in the J20 can only be equipped with the Russian-made AL-31FM1 for test flights. Only the two chief designers who personally participated in it felt the deepest that the core components were controlled by people.

After watching the video of Xuannv space plane, the two chief designers first thought not about the research and development direction of the next generation of fighter jets, but whether Xuannv's energy and power system can be transplanted to J20, so as to completely solve the heart disease problem of J20. It can be said that their key inspection targets during their visit to Ruida Aerospace this time were the Ark reactor and anti-gravity engine.

The whole visit lasted nearly three hours. During this period, Chief Engineer Yang and Chief Engineer Sun were attracted by some extremely advanced equipment or some ingenious production methods on the aircraft production line several times. They stopped to have in-depth exchanges with engineers and operators on site to understand the origin, performance, and ease of use of the equipment, as well as the specific ideas of some solutions. When they learned that many of the seemingly very advanced equipment were designed and produced by Ruida Aerospace, their attention to Ruida Aerospace increased again. Obviously, Ruida Aerospace is a company that attaches great importance to research and development, and has made great efforts in the improvement, upgrading and optimization of production equipment.

At noon, Qiao Ruida hosted a banquet in the company cafeteria to entertain the delegation. The meals were all home-cooked dishes, with first-class quality ingredients, superb cooking skills of the chef, and excellent taste. The guests were very satisfied and praised the food highly.

After lunch, Qiao Ruida arranged for the two chief engineers and their team members to rest in the lounge for two hours. Then he took them to the airport of the third phase project to watch the second test flight of the Xuannv space plane. When Chief Engineer Yang saw with his own eyes the huge Xuannv space plane taking off vertically and leaving the ground under the action of the anti-gravity engine, his face flushed with excitement.
