Super Copy of Great Power Technology

After returning to the villa, his parents and sister continued to watch the Spring Festival Gala, while Qiao Ruida took out his mobile phone and sent several large red envelopes to the company group, friend group, and classmate group. Several groups that had been silent for a long time immediately became lively, and countless lurkers rushed to grab the red envelopes, and by the way, wished each other a happy new year and thanked Qiao Ruida for his generosity. Qiao Ruida also took this opportunity to contact several high school classmates and agreed on the time for this year's class reunion.

The time soon came to midnight, the New Year's bell rang, and the sound of firecrackers was heard outside, both far and near.

"Dad, let's go set off the fireworks too." Qiao Ruida went to the warehouse on the first floor and took out the fireworks and firecrackers they had purchased earlier, and called Qiao Jingkang to go set off the fireworks together.

"Okay, it's been more than a year since we set off fireworks. I really miss this feeling." Qiao Jingkang lit two cigarettes and gave one to Qiao Ruida, not for smoking, but for lighting fireworks.

When I was a child, every Chinese New Year, boys like Qiao Ruida would always buy some firecrackers like the Earth Red, disassemble them and set them off separately. At that time, they lit firecrackers with the incense used for offering sacrifices at home. It burned for a long time and was not easy to extinguish, so it was very easy to use. However, as time passed and customs changed, fewer and fewer people offered sacrifices and kowtowed during the Chinese New Year. Only the eldest sons and grandsons would offer family trees at home. It was very difficult for other families to find incense and candles. Qiao Jingkang was the youngest in the Qiao family, so of course he had no family tree to inherit. During the Chinese New Year, there was nothing to offer at home, and naturally there was no such thing as incense. They could only light cigarettes and use them to light firecrackers.

"Brother, give me some fireworks too, I want to set them off too!" Qiao Ruixue, with a child's heart, also ran over and asked Qiao Ruida for fireworks to set off.

My sister is a girl and she has rarely been exposed to fireworks since she was a child. It can be said that she has no experience in setting off fireworks. Qiao Ruida would never dare to teach her how to set off powerful things like firecrackers, double-kick firecrackers, and fireworks. He glanced at the fireworks in the snakeskin bag, took out a few magic wands from it, handed them to his sister, and said: "These magic wands are for you to set off. Remember to stick them in the ground when setting them off, or hold the tail in your hand. After lighting them, just point the head towards the sky."

"Well, I know how to set off this thing. Brother, you're so nagging!" Qiao Ruixue snatched the magic wand monkey, took a lighter, and went to the front yard to set it off.

Qiao Jingkang and Qiao Ruida, father and son, each dragged a large snakeskin bag to the front yard, took out some beautifully packaged combination fireworks, tore open the packaging, and set them off.

With a slight sound, a huge golden flower bloomed in the sky, with dazzling flames on the edges of the petals, slowly spreading out, as if to light up the hazy night sky. Then, green, blue, and purple fireworks rose up one after another, bursting and interweaving in the air, like notes dancing in the night sky, playing a magnificent symphony. Then, one by one, fireworks rose into the sky, exploding and scattering star rain all over the sky, dancing in the wind, just like a meteor shower.

My younger sister Qiao Ruixue stuck the magic wand into the grass and lit one with a lighter. Before the fuse had burned in, she had already covered her ears and ran more than 20 meters away. Only then did she dare to look back to see the results of her fireworks. After the fuse burned to the end, the propellant inside was ignited, and a green-glowing projectile was quickly pushed out and flew high into the sky, accompanied by a piercing whistle, followed by a flash and explosion. After one projectile exploded, the second projectile immediately followed, and this time the light emitted was red, with the same whistle, the same flash and explosion. There were several more rounds that rose into the air and exploded one after another, and Qiao Ruixue was very happy to see it, clapping and laughing.

Qiao Ruida bought a lot of fireworks this time, with all kinds of fireworks, including firecrackers, double-kick fireworks, display shells, flying fish, etc. The father and son set them off for more than half an hour before they were done.

Qiao Ruida kicked some fireworks tubes that had just been set off to one side and piled them together. He said with emotion: "Hey, these combination fireworks are the best looking and the most exciting to set off."

Qiao Jingkang put out his cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, saying with emotion: "If you ask me, fireworks should not be banned. During festivals, weddings and funerals, if we don't set off a few firecrackers and fireworks, how can we set off the festive atmosphere?"

"Who says it's not true? They say that the ban on fireworks is to protect the environment, but that's not true. Even if every household in the country sets off firecrackers and fireworks, how much pollutants can be generated? It's still less than the pollutants emitted by fuel-powered vehicles running for half a day."

After setting off the fireworks, the family went back to sleep. According to the custom of previous years, the next four days were still spent visiting relatives and friends. They had to visit uncles and elders from the same clan, aunts, uncles and aunts from my mother's side, and teachers who lived nearby. It was also at this time that the cigarettes and alcohol that Qiao Ruida brought back from the capital came into play. No matter who he went to, he would give them famous cigarettes and alcohol, which was both face-saving and meaningful. The host smiled when he saw these gifts. He didn't care how much these gifts were worth, but just the friendship was worth the attentive reception.

When they went to visit their uncle on the third day of the Chinese New Year, all members of Qiao Ruida's family went out. Last year, grandma's stomach cancer really scared everyone. If Qiao Ruida hadn't taken action and taken out a special targeted drug to temporarily control the disease, grandma wouldn't even live to see this year. After this incident, my mother, uncle, and aunt realized that the two elderly people are already very old, and various diseases may come to them at any time. Instead of regretting and having a grand funeral after the elderly pass away, it is better to spend more time with them and show filial piety when they are alive. This time, everyone discussed and went to my uncle's house to visit the New Year, and all members of the family went out.

When Qiao Ruida's family arrived at Yaojiazhai's uncle's house, his aunt's family and his uncle's family had already arrived. Dozens of people from four families gathered in a small rural courtyard, chatting and preparing lunch, which seemed particularly lively.

Grandma's gastric cancer is no longer a problem after treatment with targeted drugs. Grandpa has always been healthy and well, and he helped his uncle's family work in the fields two years ago. Today, the two old people were particularly happy to see their daughter and son, as well as a large group of grandchildren, and they took out a stack of specially exchanged new banknotes and gave red envelopes to the children. Even Qiao Ruida, a billionaire, received a red envelope of 200 yuan. In grandma's words, this is not a red envelope, but a token of the elders' kindness. Whether you are short of money or not, keep it.

At lunch, due to the large number of people, three tables were set up: one for men, one for women, and one for children. Just as Qiao Ruida was crouching down and trying to get to the children's table, his uncle grabbed his arm and pulled him to the men's table. "You kid, you've already graduated from college, and you're still trying to get to the children's table. How can you be so embarrassed?" "Hey, hey, hey, uncle, don't pull me. I'll go with you."

Qiao Ruida went to the table with the children because she didn't want to drink. Qiao Ruida drank a lot during the New Year's visit with relatives, and even got drunk once. The feeling of waking up from a hangover with a splitting headache was really uncomfortable. The uncle-in-law, the younger uncle, and the older uncle were all famous for their drinking. Qiao Ruida was now pulled to the table with men, and was inevitably forced to drink. Of course, Qiao Ruida could also use the dimensional space to transfer the drinks to avoid getting drunk. However, drinking with relatives and elders, and using special means to cheat, always felt a little guilty.

Everyone was polite to each other and quickly sat down. Various home-cooked dishes were served one after another, and the banquet began immediately. The men at Qiao Ruida's table drank happily, drinking three cups in a row. Qiao Ruida and Qiao Jingkang looked at each other, both smiled helplessly, and had to raise their glasses to drink.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone had drunk enough and started drinking tea and chatting.

"Xiao Da, what about the organ directed cloning technology developed by your company? When can it be used on humans?" Uncle Yao Miaosong picked up the teapot, filled Qiao Ruida with tea, and asked at the same time.

When Qiao Ruida first used targeted drugs to treat grandma's gastric cancer, he said that this targeted drug can only control the disease, not completely cure it, and that after taking the drug for a few years, resistance will develop and the drug effect will decay. Only when the organ cloning technology matures and gastric transplantation is performed can grandma's gastric cancer be completely cured. Yao Miaosong, as a son, of course cares about his mother's health and remembers this sentence clearly. He was thinking about when the technology is mature, and he would perform a gastric transplant on his mother and completely cure her disease, so that he could feel at ease. Therefore, he was also particularly concerned about the research and development progress of Ruida Pharmaceutical, a subsidiary of Ruida Group. However, Ruida Pharmaceutical Company is not a listed company, and very little information is disclosed. He was embarrassed to call Qiao Ruida and ask these questions. Now that Qiao Ruida came to visit his family for the New Year, he naturally had to seize the opportunity to ask some questions.

"At present, we have conducted three rounds of animal experiments on directed organ cloning, all of which were successful. We have also conducted two gastric transplant operations, both on gorillas, with one successful and one failed. I estimate that in the second half of this year, organ cloning technology will be approved for human clinical trials. It will first be used for the cultivation of kidneys, livers, and small intestines, which are organs with relatively mature transplantation technologies. Once the organ cloning technology matures, it will be extended to gastric transplantation, which will take two to three years and will definitely not delay grandma's treatment."

Qiao Ruida's words undoubtedly gave everyone a reassurance. Grandma is just over 70 years old this year. As long as the stomach cancer is cured, she can live another ten years without any problem.

"Xiao Xiaoda, I heard that your company is going to launch a space tourism project suitable for ordinary people. Is it true?" Cousin Yao Hongxi had just drunk a lot of wine. His face was red and he spoke with a lisp.

Qiao Ruida nodded and said, "The passenger version of the space plane has completed its design and is now in production. It will probably be ready for a test flight next month. As long as there are no problems with the test flight of the space plane, the space tourism project will be stable. It will be open to the public in three months at the shortest. Cousin, if you are interested in space tourism, I will give you some tickets after the project is officially launched."

"That's great. Let me tell you, Xiaoda, I've had a dream of going into space since I was a kid. I wanted to become an astronaut one day and travel through space on a spaceship. But my academic performance was so poor that I couldn't even get into college, let alone become an astronaut. Now I finally have a chance to make my dream come true. Even if it means being shameless, I must fight for it."

As soon as Yao Hongxi finished speaking, his little cousin, who was sitting at the next table, took over the conversation, "I want to ride on a big plane, and I want to go to space, too. Cousin, you can't be partial to one over the other."

"Haha, don't worry, Xiaodoudou, if you want to go to space, you will definitely have a chance. But our space tourism project will not be open to minors in the short term. If you want to go to space, you will probably have to wait for two years."

"Ah, when traveling in space, are there still differences between adults and children? This rule is too unfriendly to us kids!" The little cousin pouted her lips and looked very angry, which was so adorable.

Everyone drank tea and chatted until three o'clock in the afternoon. When we went home, the driver was changed to my sister Qiao Ruixue. Qiao Ruida and Qiao Jingkang drank too much at noon. Even though they were still drunk, and even though the car had an automatic driving system, my mother was still worried about letting these two drunks drive. Yao Miaozhi also drank a few glasses of red wine. Only my sister Qiao Ruixue, who was sitting at the same table with the children, did not drink a drop of alcohol, so she was the most suitable person to be the driver.

During the days when Qiao Ruida was visiting relatives and paying New Year's greetings, many people, both known and unknown, even some distant relatives and some friends who had not seen each other for many years, came to Qiao Ruida's house with gifts to pay New Year's greetings. The purpose of these people was not simple, some wanted to find an ideal job for their sons and grandsons, or wanted to borrow money from Qiao Ruida, the richest man. As for whether or not to pay it back, and when to pay it back, only God knew.

Fortunately, the security of Shengshi Garden Community is very tight, and those who came to pay New Year's greetings and give gifts were stopped outside the gate. It is also easy to get in, just call the community owner to come out and bring them in. These people have few interactions with Qiao Ruida's family, so it is not easy to get their phone numbers. Even if you get Qiao Ruida or Qiao Jingkang's phone number through various channels, it is basically impossible to ask them to come out and pick them up. Only those real relatives and friends can get through to Qiao Jingkang's phone and be allowed to enter the villa area.

What really gave Qiao Ruida a headache was not the relatives and friends who came to ask for money, but the official visitors. Last year, the mayor of Decheng City came to Shengshijiayuan Community to wish Qiao Jingkang a happy new year. (End of this chapter)
