Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"Okay, Mr. Qiao, I'll sort out the information and send it to you right away."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Ruida waited for a few minutes, and there was a slight ring on the phone. When he opened it, the internal communication software of Ruida Group showed that a new file transfer request had been received, asking whether to accept it. Qiao Ruida immediately clicked yes, and then a compressed file of more than 100 megabytes was sent over. After decompressing it with a specific password, there were several photos and an observation record, as well as the estimated mass, density, and orbit calculation information of the unknown star. Qiao Ruida turned on the holographic projection function of his mobile phone and projected several photos and files into the air one by one. Seeing the familiar cigar-shaped irregular appearance, and the mass and orbit information that were not much different, he knew that this unknown star from outside the solar system was definitely Oumuamua.

Qiao Ruida turned off the holographic projection, picked up his phone and called Cao Yifei again, saying, "Manager Cao, notify the Clairvoyance operation and maintenance team to continue tracking this extrasolar celestial body. I need clearer pictures and more data. Let's put it this way. I will leave for Ruida Space City tomorrow to lead the tracking and detection of unknown stars. It would be a pity not to observe such an interesting celestial body up close."

"Boss Qiao, do you mean to launch a probe to conduct a close-range detection of the star at this location?"

"Yes, I do plan to do this. This is a visitor from outside the solar system, and its flight orbit is so strange. Don't you want to figure out whether it is a naturally formed celestial body or an interstellar spacecraft launched by an unknown civilization? This is much more meaningful than detecting asteroids and celestial bodies such as Phobos in the solar system."

"Okay, now that you mentioned it, I'm also interested. Mr. Qiao, I'm waiting for you to come as soon as possible to preside over the detection of unknown celestial bodies."

Qiao Ruida had just hung up the phone and got up and dressed when Du Qingqing walked into the bedroom and asked curiously, "Who called? Are you going on a business trip again?"

"The call was from Manager Cao Yifei of Ruida Aerospace. He told me something very magical. Do you want to know?" Qiao Ruida hugged Du Qingqing in his arms and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.

"No, you haven't brushed your teeth yet, and your mouth smells like alcohol!" Du Qingqing stretched out her little hand and pushed Qiao Ruida's head aside, her face full of disgust. However, her curiosity was still aroused, and she asked, "What magical thing is this? Is there a new discovery on the moon?"

The lunar probe of Ruida Aerospace has landed on the moon for several months. The helium-3 extraction plant has been built long ago, and thousands of kilograms of helium-3 gas have been extracted, reaching the upper limit of the reserve. At present, the extraction plant is in a dormant state, but the lunar rover is wandering around the plant, conducting lunar exploration activities. It is also a high probability event that there will be some new discoveries. It is not surprising that Du Qingqing has such a guess.

"It's not something on the moon. It's the Clairvoyance space telescope that discovered a mysterious celestial body from outside the solar system within our solar system. Moreover, the flight orbit of this unknown celestial body is very strange. It is suspected to have undergone maneuverable changes in orbit and may have its own power." As he spoke, Qiao Ruida turned on the holographic projection function of his mobile phone again and showed the blurry photos to Du Qingqing.

"This celestial body comes from outside the solar system and can maneuver and change its trajectory. Could it be an alien spaceship?" Du Qingqing was surprised when she saw the long strip of unknown celestial body projected by the mobile phone.

Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing's generation grew up watching science fiction movies and reading science fiction novels, so they were not too familiar with aliens and alien spaceships. Now that they heard that this long unknown celestial body came from outside the solar system and had maneuverable orbit changes, it was normal for them to think of alien spaceships first.

"It's hard to say for sure now, but I can only say that it's possible. I plan to build an unmanned scientific research spacecraft and fly it to the vicinity of this unknown celestial body to take a look. I want to closely detect its material and structure to see whether it is a naturally formed celestial body or a man-made spacecraft."

"So, you are going on a business trip to Ruida Aerospace City again. How long will you be gone this time?" Du Qingqing leaned closer to Qiao Ruida's arms and asked reluctantly.

"Well, we'll leave tomorrow. There are a lot of things to deal with when we go to Reda Space City this time, so we may have to stay for a few more months. Honey, how about you come with me and treat it as a vacation for yourself?"

Du Qingqing was quite tempted by Qiao Ruida's proposal, but after weighing the pros and cons, she shook her head and said, "I still have a lot of graduate courses to take and papers to write. There are also many matters for me to deal with at the Ruida Charity Foundation. I can't leave at all. And if I go to Ruida Aerospace City, I can't help at all. I can only stay in the villa every day and do nothing. I'd better not go this time."

"That's such a pity. You should stay in Beijing and help me look after the company. If there is anything wrong, call me immediately to let me know. Hey, what's that smell? It sounds like something is burnt."

"Oh no, the millet porridge I cooked is still on the gas stove!" Du Qingqing exclaimed, rushed out of the bedroom, and went downstairs with a "thump thump" sound.

Qiao Ruida shook his head speechlessly and went to the bathroom to wash up. For breakfast today, they had steamed dumplings and millet porridge. The steamed dumplings were stuffed with prairie lamb and green onions. They were very delicious. Qiao Ruida ate six in one go. The millet porridge was a little bit lacking. It was black and had a burnt smell. Under the pitiful gaze of his girlfriend, Qiao Ruida pinched his nose, drank a bowl, and never wanted to have a second bowl. Du Qingqing scooped a spoonful of millet rice and put it into her mouth. The next moment, her whole face twisted, obviously. The burnt millet porridge definitely doesn't taste good. Du Qingqing opened her mouth and spit out the millet rice she had just eaten, then stood up abruptly, ran into the kitchen, and drank some water to rinse her mouth.

After a small episode, the two drove to Peking University. Du Qingqing went to the business school for classes, while Qiao Ruida found his mentor, Academician Wang, and asked for a three-month long vacation. Academician Wang has always adhered to the laissez-faire strategy for Qiao Ruida, the youngest but most accomplished disciple. As long as he can produce a few papers related to integrated circuits every year, he will pass the test, and the rest will be up to him. Academician Wang signed his name on the leave application on the spot, and didn't even ask what Qiao Ruida was going to do on leave. In the afternoon, Qiao Ruida drove to Ruida Building, convened several executives of subsidiaries, held an emergency meeting, and made some arrangements for his affairs after the business trip. Liu Jiayu was temporarily appointed as the deputy general manager of Ruida Group, and was responsible for handling the company's daily affairs during Qiao Ruida's absence.

"In the next few months, my work focus will be on Ruida Aerospace and Ruida Energy. The ignition of the nuclear fusion test reactor and the manned lunar landing are two key projects that require me to lead and promote. Sister Liu, those who are capable should do more work. I'll leave the affairs of the group company to you. If there are any major events, or if the funding exceeds 500 million yuan and it is difficult to make a decision, you can contact me through the company's internal communication software."

"Okay, Mr. Qiao, I will ensure that the task is completed!" Liu Jiayu stood up and answered seriously.

Liu Jiayu can be regarded as a founding member of the Ruida Group. He joined the company as a department manager when the company was first established and it was still a grass-roots team. Later, when Ruida Mall was established, Liu Jiayu took office and became the actual person in charge of the e-commerce affairs department. After that, Ruida Mall grew rapidly and became one of the top three e-commerce platforms in China. The spin-off and listing of Ruida Network Company were all due to Liu Jiayu's outstanding contributions. In the past two years, Ruida Network Company has continued to grow and develop. While deepening its e-commerce market, it has also opened up QR code payment, express delivery and live streaming business. Its revenue has doubled every year, and its market value has been rising all the way, which means that it will impact the first stock of domestic private enterprises. General Manager Liu Jiayu has made great contributions to the fact that Ruida Network Company has been able to develop so well and its market value has risen so fast. Liu Jiayu can be said to have both qualifications and abilities. Now Qiao Ruida has promoted her to serve as the deputy general manager of the group company, and no one has stood up to oppose it.

That night, Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing returned to the villa. After a quick dinner, they got close to each other and made love several times. They did not stop until they were exhausted. Du Qingqing lay in Qiao Ruida's arms, the sweat on her body had not yet dried, and she felt limp and could not muster any strength.

"Hubby, you've been gone for several months. What should I do if I miss you?"

"If you miss me, just give me a holographic call. It's just like communicating face to face, except we can't touch each other. If that doesn't work, follow the convoy transporting supplies and come to Ruida Space City to see me. It's not far away, and you can get there in a day."

"That's true. Communication technology is so advanced now, and transportation is so convenient. It's very easy for us to meet. By the way, there is only one month left until May Day. Our parents have agreed that we should get a marriage certificate and take wedding photos on May Day. How do you plan to arrange it?"

"During the May Day holiday, the school will also have a long vacation. You can come to Ruida Aerospace City just in time, and we can spend a romantic May Day holiday together. Remember to bring our household registration books when you come, and then we can find a nearby civil affairs bureau in Meng Province to register for a marriage certificate. By then, the passenger-type space plane will have almost completed its test flight and will be put into formal operation. We can just take the space plane and fly into space. In low-Earth orbit, with the earth as the background, taking some wedding photos will be very meaningful."

"Taking wedding photos in space? This is such a creative idea. I am looking forward to it now. When the wedding photos are taken and posted on WeChat Moments, they will surely arouse the envy of many people."

That night, the two chatted for a long time, expressing their endless love and sorrow. It was not until midnight that they fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning, Du Qingqing got up early, packed Qiao Ruida's luggage, and prepared a loving breakfast. Qiao Ruida was exhausted from the hard work last night, so he got up a little late. It was not until eight o'clock in the morning that he rubbed his old waist and got up to wash. While eating breakfast, he kept complaining in his heart. The old saying is that there are only cows that die of exhaustion, but no fields that are plowed to death. This saying is indeed true. This woman is really scary when she goes crazy. Even Qiao Ruida, who has been transformed by the system many times, can't bear it.

After breakfast, Qiao Ruida was about to go on a long journey. Du Qingqing held his hand and gave him some advice, "Husband, drive safely on the road. When you arrive at Ruida Aerospace City, remember to call me to let me know you are safe. The temperature difference between day and night is large on the grassland, and the weather is unpredictable. Remember to add or remove clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Qiao Ruida embraced Du Qingqing in his arms, kissed her for a long time, and then let her go, saying, "Don't worry, this is not the first time I've been to Ruida Space City, and I know everything you said. Well, it's getting late, I have to drive off. You should also take care of yourself at home, and combine work and rest. Call me if you have any problems, and don't wrong yourself."

Du Qingqing accompanied him all the way to the gate and watched Qiao Ruida drive away and disappear at the entrance of the alley. Only then did she reluctantly look away and turned back to the courtyard.

After leaving Shijia Hutong, Qiao Ruida drove to the Ruida Rocket Factory in YQ District, joined the convoy, and set off together to Ruida Space City. This convoy consisted of 4 vans, heavy-duty trucks, buses, and off-road vehicles. The accompanying personnel included more than mechanical engineers, aerospace engineers, astronomers, and a security team of more than retired soldiers.

The truck was loaded with some launch vehicle and aerospace aircraft parts produced by the factory, as well as various raw materials and electronic parts purchased from domestic and foreign manufacturers. No matter how powerful the technical capabilities of Ruida Aerospace are, it cannot do everything by itself. The various raw materials and some parts for the production of launch vehicles and aerospace aircraft still need to be purchased from outside. Fortunately, China is one of the few industrial powers in the world with a complete range of industries. Most of the raw materials and parts that Ruida Aerospace needs in the production of spacecraft can be purchased in bulk in China without worrying about being strangled by others.

Another thing worth mentioning is the group of security personnel who accompanied the motorcade this time. The public security situation in the country has always been very good. It is definitely a bit too much to say that people do not pick up things on the road and do not lock their doors at night, but going out for a midnight snack in the middle of the night is generally not dangerous. It is precisely for the above reasons that Qiao Ruida, the richest man in the country, rarely brings bodyguards when traveling. The branches of the Ruida Group only maintain the minimum number of security personnel and have never had any safety accidents. But these days, when Jarvis was routinely inspecting the monitoring systems of various companies, he found that there were some suspicious people outside each branch. Especially near the headquarters of the Ruida Group and Ruida Aerospace City, there are particularly many suspicious people. (End of this chapter)
