Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"Is this the effect created by a medium-sized holographic projector? It's too real, so real that it's almost indistinguishable from the real thing!"

Since the large-scale projector products were all bought by the military, Reda Technology has never publicly displayed them. What people often see are either small-scale 3D holographic projectors for home use or medium-sized holographic projectors installed in theaters or shopping malls. When Qiao Ruixue saw the dream scene on the stage, she thought it was a medium-sized holographic projector, which is also the normal reaction of most people.

Qiao Ruida shook his head and said, "No, don't you think that the projection effect on the stage is more realistic than that of a medium-sized holographic projector? In fact, a large holographic projector is installed in the Bird's Nest today. Its projection range is very large and it can cover the entire Bird's Nest. Moreover, the projection realism is much higher than that of medium-sized and small products."

"That's not right. Isn't there an expert analysis online that says the larger the projection range of a 3D holographic projector, the worse the realism? Why is the actual situation the opposite?"

"According to common sense, the larger the projection range, the lower the brightness and the worse the realism. However, with the technology currently mastered by Reda Technology Company, it is no problem to ensure that the realism of holographic projection is more than 90%. The medium and small holographic projectors sold on the market have a relatively low realism because we deliberately lowered it when they leave the factory. This is to prevent some criminals from using holographic projectors to do bad things."

"So that's it, I've been taught a lesson."

Qiao Ruida led the two girls to the front row VIP area and sat down. The live broadcast team followed them to the media area not far away, setting up cameras and debugging live broadcast equipment, and they were very busy. There were not many media reporters allowed to enter the venue today, only a few dozen, most of whom were from several local TV stations and newspapers and magazines in Beijing. Ruixue Interactive Entertainment was the only one that obtained the live broadcast rights.

The live broadcast room of the Ruida Group's annual meeting on the Kuaipai software was quickly established, the video signal was connected, and the live broadcast began. Then, Kuaipai put this live broadcast room at the top of the homepage and pushed it to all platforms, instantly attracting millions of netizens to enter the live broadcast room. As more people came, more people spoke, and the message area soon became lively.

"Hey, whose annual meeting is this? Why would they be willing to spend so much money to put it at the top of the homepage and push it to all platforms?"

"Wow, look at this venue, it must be the Bird's Nest, the stands are full of people, almost full. There aren't many companies with such a large number of employees and such a wealth of money."

“Is that Peach Blossom Island on the stage? The scene is so beautiful. I wonder if it’s a post-production special effect or a holographic projection?”

"It must be a holographic projection. Didn't you see many audience members at the scene also concentrating on looking at the direction of the stage? They must be attracted by the holographic image on the stage."

"I feel that the holographic projection displayed on the stage is more real and more gorgeous than the holographic movie I saw in the theater not long ago. It's like there is a real peach blossom forest and a lake on the stage."

"I think I know which company is holding the annual meeting. It is so wealthy and powerful, and has mastered such advanced 3D holographic imaging manufacturing technology. It must be the Ruida Group."

"If it is really the annual meeting of the Ruida Group, then it will be even more worth looking forward to. I still remember that at this time last year, the Ruida Group held its annual meeting and invited a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, including the Four Heavenly Kings, countless celebrities, and even my idol Jay Chou. It was really an audio-visual feast, even better than CCTV's Spring Festival Gala. This year, the Ruida Group has developed better and made more money, so the annual meeting will definitely be more lively."

"A private company is holding an annual meeting and they can invite the Four Heavenly Kings. Are you kidding me?"

"Of course it's true. The live broadcast of the Ruida Group's annual meeting last year can still be found on some video platforms. If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look."

"In all the current Spring Festival Galas, singers are lip-syncing and lip-syncing, which seems boring. I hope there will be no lip-syncing in this annual gala live broadcast, so as not to turn people off."

"What are you thinking? This is a commercial performance. The Reda Group spent real money to invite those celebrity singers. How could they be allowed to lip-sync?"

As time went by, the number of people online in the live broadcast room increased, and soon exceeded 300 million, and it continued to grow. Under the expectation of everyone, the annual meeting finally officially opened. The two hosts, a man and a woman, wearing festive red Tang suits, walked out from the depths of the peach blossom forest and stood in the center of the stage, just like walking from the virtual world into reality.

"A year has passed with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu. Every household is busy replacing old charms with new ones."

"During this festive occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, we are welcoming the 2015 Annual Meeting of Ruida Group. I am the host xxx."

"I am the host xx. Please enjoy the first show, the drone light show, 'Dragons Travel the World.'"

As the host finished his announcement and returned to the backstage, the holographic projection on the stage was removed, revealing the real scene of the stage and the entire stadium. The entire stadium below the Bird's Nest, including the stage, was densely packed with quadcopters, horizontally and vertically, which was spectacular. A rough estimate of the number was at least 30,000.

Quadcopter drones, or quad-rotor drones, are high-tech toys that have only become popular in the past two or three years. They have excellent performance: light, flexible, safe, easy to control, and can hover through sensors and transmit camera images to mobile phones using WIFI. They are very popular among young people. In China, drone companies such as DJI, Zero Degree, and XAG have been established one after another, and have developed and manufactured a large number of high-quality and low-cost quadcopter drones, which are hot-selling at home and abroad. As drones are becoming more and more popular, drone light shows have also emerged, perfectly combining technology, innovation, and art, and are very popular among the general public. In the past drone light shows, the number of drones used mostly ranged from dozens to hundreds, and the patterns formed by the lights were relatively simple, and they were still in the stage of exploring innovation. However, the drone light show organized by Ruida Group was completely different. The number of drones used reached an astonishing 30,000, which was a first in the industry.

After the holographic projection was removed, the lighting in the center of the Bird's Nest was also turned off. At the same time, the RGB indicators on some of the drones on the ground lit up, forming a very large Arabic numeral "10". Then some of the drones turned off their lights, while others lit up, showing another Arabic numeral "9", followed by "8", "7" and "6". It was obvious that the performance team was using the drone lights to count down. When the audience saw this, they all reacted and shouted loudly along with the countdown, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1".

When the countdown reached 1, all the drones lit up white lights and took off one after another from left to right, like a galaxy made up of countless stars, slowly rising from the ground, spreading in all directions, and lighting up the entire night sky.

As night fell and the lights came on, a dreamlike drone light show slowly began over the Bird's Nest. High-rise buildings, bright lights, rolling traffic, and constant flow, no matter how noisy the outside world is, it cannot affect the unique beauty of this world. Drones took off lightly, lined up in a queue, and danced in the night sky in an unpredictable manner. More than 80,000 spectators in the Bird's Nest picked up their mobile phones, turned on the camera, and filmed this dreamy scene. Some passers-by passing by the Bird's Nest also saw the spectacular scene of tens of thousands of drones taking off one after another, and they stopped and watched.

Three minutes later, all the drones had taken off, forming a huge three-dimensional square in the night sky. The melodious music sounded, brisk and graceful, and the drone lights changed accordingly. A galaxy composed of dots of light appeared in the sky, flowing silently with the music. A colorful koi, swinging its tail, swam into the galaxy from the right, stirring up ripples on the river surface. The koi was colorful, moved smoothly, and was lifelike, which amazed everyone.

“This koi fish looks too real. Are you sure it’s made up of drone lights and not a holographic projection?”

"I took screenshots and enlarged them to see that the images are indeed made up of LED lights of different colors. It's just that the drones are flying more densely, and from a distance, they look like the real thing."

"As expected of the high-tech Ruida Group, a drone light show is so unique."

"Look, another large group of koi has appeared. If you look closely, each koi has a different pattern and swims in a different way. It is hard to imagine how much technical support is needed to use drone lights to display such a complex three-dimensional moving picture."

“So many koi fish are swimming in one direction along the river. What does this mean?”

"In Feng Shui, water represents wealth, and fish is homophonic with "surplus", which symbolizes "abundance of wealth". Therefore, raising fish at home can enhance popularity and wealth. Koi has been regarded as a precious auspicious object since ancient times, and is often raised in ponds of temples and shrines, implying good fortune and prosperity. Moreover, whether it is painting or auspicious totems, if fish are used to express it, the painting is of koi. Koi is called "fish that attracts wealth and good fortune" and is a treasure for the home. Ruida Group is a private company, and everything is for the purpose of making money. Displaying these koi pictures, of course, means making a lot of money in the coming year."

"You have the most words, so you are right."

"Hey, there's a golden object in front of the river. It's getting bigger and bigger. It looks like a big door."

"Haha, I didn't expect that I would be slapped in the face so quickly. This video clearly expresses the carp leaping over the dragon gate, symbolizing the spirit of bravery, hard work and pursuit of dreams, and also implies career success and promotion of status."

"The school of fish is getting closer and closer to the Dragon Gate. Whether it is a carp that has leaped over the Dragon Gate will soon be revealed."

"Sure enough, when the group of koi reached the bottom of the dragon gate, they really stopped and began to try to jump out of the water, wanting to jump over the dragon gate. But the dragon gate is set too high, how can these little koi jump over it?"

In the air, colorful koi fish jumped up with all their might, but they couldn't even reach half the height of the dragon gate. It was harder than climbing to the sky to jump over the dragon gate. But these koi fish didn't give up. They jumped up again and again, even when they were exhausted, even when their scales fell off and their bodies were injured, they never gave up. If the story continued like this, these koi fish would probably fail and never jump over the dragon gate. But a turning point soon appeared. After a koi fish jumped to the highest point, it fell down exhausted and happened to hit another koi fish that had just jumped up. It immediately took advantage of the force to jump again, and it actually jumped much higher than before. Although this koi fish did not reach the height of the dragon gate and still fell back into the river, this accident gave the koi fish group hope of success. They began to cooperate with each other and challenged the dragon gate again.

The koi jumped in batches. When the first one jumped out of exhaustion and fell, it jumped a second time, even a third time, or a fourth time with the help of the koi that jumped behind it, and continued to reach higher heights. With the joint efforts of the koi, a lucky koi finally successfully jumped over the dragon gate and soared into the sky, transforming into a golden dragon 100 meters long, with flowing dragon whiskers, circling dragon body, and swaying dragon tail, as if it was about to soar into the sky and tear apart the tranquility of the night. The dragon scales were made up of countless dots of light, flashing golden light. The koi swam and jumped back and forth in the water, as if celebrating the successful transformation of their companions into dragons.

A few minutes later, the koi stopped celebrating, regrouped, and attacked the dragon gate again. The koi that had turned into a dragon also flew over, wanting to help his companions complete the leap. However, the time had come, and the golden dragon gate slowly dissipated. The remaining koi could only wait for the next opportunity to jump over the dragon gate. The giant dragon flew over the river, let out a low roar, greeted its former companions, and then circled over the river for a few circles, reluctantly flying away. The remaining koi gathered into a group, went downstream, and disappeared at the end of the river. There was only a Milky Way flowing silently in the night sky, silent and mysterious.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen such vivid, lifelike, and story-telling images in a drone show. The drone technology of Ruida Group is really amazing."

"This animation has been going on for more than 20 minutes, and the show is still going on. Do these drones have such a long endurance?"

"You forgot that the graphene battery was invented by the Ruida Group. Their performance drones, as long as they use graphene batteries, can last up to an hour. Don't be too relaxed."

"Does Ruida Group produce drones? I want to buy one to play with." (End of this chapter)
