Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Among the company's newly recruited employees, there were also some suspected corporate spies. They were a mess at work, but were keen to run around in various departments, asking questions here and there, and their behavior was extremely suspicious. Qiao Ruida's approach to these suspicious people was to fire them all and put them on the blacklist. Anyway, most of these people had joined the company for less than three months and were still in the probation period. They could be fired at any time without even giving a reason.

There is no good way to deal with those who hide and peek outside the company with bad intentions. After all, these people did not invade the company's office or factory area, and did not constitute a criminal act, so there is no legitimate reason to call the police. The only thing that can be done is to install more cameras, hire more security personnel, take turns to stand guard and patrol, and strengthen the security level of each branch and factory. The security personnel traveling with the convoy this time were newly recruited after the New Year. Now they are rushing to Ruida Aerospace City to expand the size of the security team there to deal with possible accidents.

Due to the presence of heavy trucks, the convoy was not moving very fast. Qiao Ruida followed the convoy, driving slowly, and was able to devote part of his mind to communicate with Jarvis via the Internet.

"Jarvis, I'm driving now, what do you want from me?"

"Boss, I found several groups of suspicious people disguised as tourists or herdsmen outside the Ruida Space City, and at least one of them was carrying rifles or shotguns." Jarvis's cartoon avatar appeared on the central control screen and he said in a serious face.

The appearance of suspicious persons near Ruida Space City is nothing new. It has been there for a month. Now that these suspicious persons have guns in their hands, the situation is serious. You should know that China is the country with the strictest gun ban in the world. It is difficult for ordinary people to get a pistol, let alone a long gun. Now that those suspicious persons have long guns in their hands, their identities cannot be explained by simple commercial espionage.

"What? You said those people had guns. Are you sure?" Qiao Ruida handed over the driving authority to the on-board computer and shifted all his attention to Jarvis.

"You'll understand if you look at these photos."

Jarvis's head disappeared from the central control screen, replaced by four somewhat blurry photos. The photos were taken from top to bottom, and the camera was probably taken by a drone or satellite. In the first photo, there are two off-road vehicles driving on the grassland, and a line of unknown birds are flying downward in a human-shaped V-shape. Due to the shooting angle, the flying height of these birds cannot be determined. Now is spring, and many migratory birds such as swallows and geese are migrating from the south to the north on a large scale. It is not too unusual for a group of migrating birds to appear on the grassland. Judging from the flying posture and formation, these migratory birds are likely to be geese.

The second photo shows that two off-road vehicles have stopped. Several people in black clothes are standing next to the off-road vehicles, pointing at the geese in the sky. Because the photo is too blurry, the faces of these people are not clear, but two of them have dark skin, like black people. The third photo shows three people holding what looks like a shotgun or rifle, aiming at the sky, and it seems that they want to or are shooting the geese. The fourth photo was taken at night, still the two cars, still the same people, they made a fire with some unknown fuel, and several people gathered around the fire, barbecued and had a meal.

After looking at these four photos, Qiao Ruida also agreed that the things these people were holding must be guns, and they were long guns. Because apart from long guns, Qiao Ruida could not think of anything else that could shoot wild geese flying high in the sky.

"What was used to take these photos, a satellite or a drone? Are there any clearer photos?" Qiao Ruida asked solemnly.

"These photos were taken by our navigation satellites. Because the satellites fly too high and too far from the ground, the photos are a bit blurry. This is the result after I optimized it many times. The original photos were even blurrier, and you couldn't even make out the car model and the number of people."

Qiao Ruida stared at the photo on the central control screen, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that a group of armed elements of unknown origin want to attack our Ruida Space City. I really want to know when they plan to take action. What is their goal, reusable rockets, aerospace planes, or technical data?"

Jarvis's head reappeared on the screen, with his chin in his hand, as if thinking. "There is too little data, the photo is too blurry, and the information is insufficient. I cannot make any analysis."

The real world is much less technologically advanced than the Marvel world. There is no powerful Stark Industries, no numerous satellites, and no Mark racks flying around. Without these hardware devices, the functions of artificial intelligence Jarvis are greatly limited, and it is no longer the omniscient network god in the movie.

"Jarvis, do you think that if I give these photos to the police, can they arrest them?"

"It's difficult. The original photos are too blurry and you can't see anything clearly. The optimized and restored photos can't be used as evidence. Even if you call the police, it's difficult to open a case for investigation."

"Forget it. It's better to rely on myself than on others. I'd better get some more drones and Mark armor and put them in the hidden warehouse of the space city to deal with these militants. Jarvis, can you remotely control the Mark armor I copied?"

"Sure, Boss. With my current computing power, I can control a thousand Mark Armors at the same time without any lag."

"That's good. When I arrive at Reda Space City, I will take out the drone and Mark Armor. Then the security of the Space City will be left to you, Jarvis."

"NO, problem! Boss, just wait and see!" Without the Mark Armor, Jarvis was like a person without eyes and limbs, and his combat power was greatly reduced. Now when he heard Qiao Ruida say that he would provide him with a batch of drones and Mark Armor, Jarvis' voice trembled.

After hanging up the call, Qiao Ruida closed his eyes, entered the dimensional space, and began to copy the drone and Mark Armor. The drone model Qiao Ruida chose was not the civilian drone that Reda Technology had just released that could only take pictures, but the spider drone that appeared in the movie "Spider-Man". This drone has multiple functions, mainly including reconnaissance, tracking and capture. In the movie, the spider drone can help Spider-Man gather intelligence and know the whereabouts of the enemy without anyone noticing, so as to better understand the crime situation in the city. It can also launch spider webs to restrict the enemy's actions and capture criminals.

As for the Mark armor, Qiao Ruida chose Mark 15 for copying. It has a not-so-nice name "sneaky". Its color scheme is light black, light gold and silver. It can change the surface color of the armor accordingly according to the nearby environment to achieve the stealth effect. The armor is ultra-thin and smooth, so it can better hide and lurk. Due to the excessive emphasis on light action and stealth ability, the combat capability of Mark 15 is not strong. Only the palm cannon and chest cluster cannon are retained to ensure the success of the sneak attack! However, this combat effectiveness is not strong, which is relative to other models of Mark armor. It is more than enough to deal with several militants with rifles. Qiao Ruida copied 100 drones and 100 Mark 15 armors in one breath. If all of them are dispatched, it will be enough to fight a local war. I hope those militants don't have any crooked ideas, otherwise the Mark armor will be dispatched, and they will never come back and regret it for the rest of their lives.

In the evening, the convoy finally arrived at Ruida Space City. The trucks left the convoy first and went to the warehouse area to unload the goods. The remaining buses and off-road vehicles continued to drive into the space city and finally arrived at the square in the residential area. Cao Yifei, who received a phone call in advance, stood in the square with several company executives to welcome Qiao Ruida's arrival.

Qiao Ruida parked the SUV in a parking space at the edge of the square, opened the door and got out, just in time to meet Cao Yifei's fat smiling face.

"Mr. Qiao, welcome back to Ruida Aerospace City. Thank you for your hard work along the way!" Cao Yifei stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qiao Ruida, saying with a smile.

"Well, I haven't been here for a few months, and the Aerospace City has changed a lot. Manager Cao, I came to Ruida Aerospace City this time and brought a group of newly recruited aerospace engineers and security personnel. It's getting late, please help them arrange accommodation." Qiao Ruida turned his head and pointed to the young people who got off the buses and off-road vehicles one after another, and said.

"That's great. Recently, multiple projects in Aerospace City have been advancing simultaneously, and there is a serious shortage of manpower. These people have arrived at the right time. There are several newly built dormitory buildings on the east side of this square. Water, electricity, heating, furniture, and electrical appliances are all installed. They can move in with just their bags. There is no problem in arranging accommodation for them." After saying that, Cao Yifei waved to a colleague from the logistics department and handed over the matter of arranging accommodation for the newcomers.

Soon, the engineers, drivers and security personnel who came with the convoy were taken away, leaving only Qiao Ruida, Cao Yifei and company executives at the scene.

"Boss Qiao, you haven't had dinner yet, right? I've prepared a whole lamb feast in the staff cafeteria to welcome you."

"I've eaten a lot of grassland sheep, but I've never eaten a whole lamb banquet like this. Let's go to the cafeteria and have a good meal. Come on, Manager Cao, and everyone else, get in the car. I'll drive you to the employee cafeteria." From the square where they were, there was still a thousand meters away from the nearest employee cafeteria. It was a bit far to walk there, so it would be more convenient to drive there. Qiao Ruida opened the car door and motioned everyone to get in.

Cao Yifei opened the front door and sat in the passenger seat. He then opened the window, stuck his head out, and called his colleagues to get in the car. "Obedience is worse than respect. Come on, let's get in the car. The boss is driving, but there are not many opportunities to be a driver. The seats are limited, first come first served."

Three executives responded to the call and sat in the back seat of the SUV. The remaining executives found an electric commuter car from the edge of the square, got in, set their destination, and the commuter car started slowly and rushed to the employee cafeteria. Qiao Ruida started the car and stepped on the accelerator, overtaking the commuter car.

Two minutes later, the group arrived at the staff cafeteria. Cao Yifei led the way, taking Qiao Ruida and the others up the stairs to an empty table on the second floor. Qiao Ruida sat at the main seat as expected, and Cao Yifei and other executives gave way to each other and sat down one after another. Cao Yifei waved to the waiter and said, "Is the grassland whole lamb feast I asked for this afternoon ready? If it is, serve it now."

"It's ready. I'll call the kitchen and ask them to bring up the whole lamb feast." The waiter came over, bowed, and said.

"Okay, go and tell them to serve the dishes!" Cao Yifei waved his hand and sent the waiter away. Then he started to boil water, scald the kettle, put tea leaves in it, brewed a pot of Kung Fu tea, and gave each of the people sitting there a cup of tea. The small cup used to brew Kung Fu tea was only the size of a wine cup. Qiao Ruida picked it up, blew on it, and drank it in one gulp.

"The tea is good, but the cup is too small. I usually like to make and drink tea, but I never use Kung Fu tea sets. The steps are too complicated and the teacup is too small. I can only taste the tea but not quench my thirst." Qiao Ruida put down the teacup and commented.

"Mr. Qiao, this is what you northerners think. In our south, more people drink Kung Fu tea."

After a few words of small talk, several waiters brought up the whole lamb banquet. The so-called whole lamb banquet is to use different parts of a sheep, after careful cooking, to make more than a dozen dishes, served in special-shaped plates. When serving, these dozen dishes are placed on the table in the shape of a sheep, so it is called a whole lamb banquet. The whole lamb banquet is prepared differently in different places, with different numbers of dishes and different methods. The sixteen dishes served now include spicy lamb trotters, boiled lamb, stir-fried lamb with carrots, dry pot lamb with skin, braised lamb, cumin lamb, stir-fried lamb with green onions, hand-pulled lamb, hand-torn lamb, lamb soup with steamed buns, and lamb chops with quail eggs. Some dishes are very grassland-style and are likely to be the work of local chefs.

After the dishes were served, the waiter brought a few bottles of beer and white wine. Everyone ate meat, drank, and chatted about family matters. It was very lively.

Everyone ate some food casually to fill their stomachs. Cao Yifei stood up first, poured himself a glass of white wine, and said to Qiao Ruida, "Boss Qiao, you have worked hard all the way. Come, I'll toast you."

"Well, come on, cheers. Manager Cao, you have managed the Space City very well in the past two months. Construction is proceeding as normal and the space mission has not been delayed," after drinking the wine in the glass, Qiao Ruida reached out and patted Cao Yifei on the shoulder and praised him.

Afterwards, everyone toasted each other, clinked glasses, chatted and boasted, and soon became friends. During the meal, it was inevitable that they talked about the extragalactic visitor discovered by the Thousand-mile Space Telescope.

"Have you decided on a name for that star from outside the solar system?" (End of this chapter)
