Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"We have given this unknown celestial body several names as alternatives, but the specific name has not yet been finalized. We are waiting for you, Mr. Qiao, to come and make the final decision." A department manager in charge of space telescope maintenance and observation toasted Qiao Reda with a glass of wine and then responded.

"Tell me what the alternative names are. Everyone can give me some references." Qiao Ruida asked with interest.

"Some people named it Cigar or Little Flying Stick based on its shape. Some people named it Messenger or Interstellar Wanderer based on its identity as an alien. There are also some very abstract names that are very nonsensical and have few supporters, so I won't mention them."

According to the historical trajectory of the previous life, this unknown star will be discovered by astronomers on October 10, two years later. A month later, the International Astronomical Union officially named it Oumuamua. The name comes from Hawaiian, meaning "scout" or "messenger." Now, the astronomical observation team of Reda Aerospace has discovered this star from outside the solar system two and a half years in advance. It is obviously not appropriate to call it Oumuamua. As for what it should be called, Qiao Reda is also a little undecided.

"All four of these names are pretty good, and I can't make a decision right now. How about this? Let the publicity department post this discovery online and then initiate a naming vote. Put all four of these candidate names on the list, and whichever one gets the most votes will be used."

Cao Yifei nodded in agreement and said, "This is a good operation. It not only attracted the attention of many netizens, but also strengthened their sense of participation. It is a good publicity for Ruida Aerospace."

Manager Xing Xiaolu, who is in charge of the publicity department, continued, "This is easy. We at Ruida Aerospace have verified accounts on Weibo, WeChat, Kuaipai and other platforms. We only need to post a piece of news saying that the Clairvoyance Space Telescope has discovered an asteroid from outside the solar system. It is long and has variable speeds and orbits, and is suspected to be an alien spacecraft. Add a few photos taken by Clairvoyance, and we can attract the attention of the majority of netizens. Initiating a vote on the naming of the celestial body is just a matter of convenience. Lao He, do you have a photo of the asteroid? Share it with me, and I will edit the news and publish it on major platforms."

Manager He from the space telescope maintenance team answered, "The photos are on my phone. Open the company's internal communication software and I'll send them to you."

Xing Xiaolu studied journalism in college, so writing news flashes was a piece of cake for her. After receiving the photo files, she opened the Weibo client on her mobile phone, logged into the official account of Ruida Aerospace, and began to write news and insert pictures. It took her only a dozen minutes to get everything done. She also did a vote on the naming of unknown stars and put it after the news. Then she logged into several other social platforms, copied the content that had just been posted, and forwarded it. Qiao Ruida also joined in the fun, logged into her own Weibo account, and forwarded and liked the blog post released by Ruida Aerospace.

It is around 8 o'clock in the evening, which is the golden period for netizens to surf the Internet. The official Weibo of Ruida Aerospace is not very active, with only a few hundred thousand followers, and not many netizens saw the news at the first time. However, Qiao Ruida's personal account is a super V with more than 30 million followers, and they are all real fans, not paid die-hard fans. Since Qiao Ruida reposted this news report on his Weibo, it immediately attracted many netizens to watch, repost, like, and comment, and the number increased rapidly. After only half an hour, it rushed to the hot search. Although it is ranked relatively low, it has also gained a certain degree of popularity.

The welcoming banquet ended at nine o'clock. Qiao Ruida drank some wine, but his brain remained sober and there was no problem driving. He drove his SUV back to Villa No. 1. In the past few months when Qiao Ruida was away, there were people in charge of cleaning and tidying up the villa. The floor, furniture, and even bedding were all as bright and clean as new, not much different from when he left. Qiao Ruida threw himself on the sofa and hummed comfortably. Thinking of his girlfriend's instructions when they parted, he quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and sent a holographic video call request to Du Qingqing. The third-generation Xingyao mobile phone has just been released not long ago, and communication software such as WeChat and QQ have not had time to develop a holographic video call function. The holographic call that Qiao Ruida is using now is a function that comes with the third-generation Xingyao mobile phone when it leaves the factory. It uses the mobile phone number as the account, but it uses the network communication line or satellite communication line. It is an attempt by Ruida Group in the field of communication software.

Perhaps Du Qingqing had been waiting for Qiao Ruida's call. She had just sent the call request and it was picked up immediately. Several rays of light were projected from the edge of the phone screen, outlining Du Qingqing's beautiful upper body above the phone. Looking at the background, it was their bedroom in the courtyard of Shijia Hutong.

"Honey, I finally got your call. Looking at the environment, you have arrived at Ruida Space City and checked into Villa No. 1, right?" Du Qingqing looked at the environment around Qiao Ruida through the camera and asked.

"Well, the convoy arrived at Ruida Aerospace City in the evening. I wanted to call you right away, but Cao Yifei and his group dragged me to a welcoming banquet, so I was delayed until now."

Qiao Ruida accompanied his girlfriend and chatted for half an hour, sharing with her all the scenery and experiences along the way, as well as the changes in the aerospace city. In order to maintain a good figure and skin condition, Du Qingqing is used to going to bed early and getting up early, and practicing some yoga moves before going to bed. After the holographic call with Qiao Ruida, Du Qingqing was completely relieved, and went to do yoga as usual. Qiao Ruida was lying on the sofa, feeling a little bored, so he simply opened Weibo to see how popular the forwarded information was. This was incredible, "The topic of the discovery of alien spacecraft in the solar system has become a hot search. The number of likes on the original blog post released by Ruida Aerospace has exceeded hundreds of thousands, and the number of forwarded messages has reached hundreds of thousands, becoming a real hot topic.

"It turns out that we have a space telescope in our country. I didn't even know about it before."

"It has been nearly a year since the launch of the Clairvoyance Space Telescope of Reda Aerospace. It is unclear how many photos of the starry sky it has taken, but only a few hundred have been released."

"I didn't expect that Reda Aerospace would do something so big not long after its establishment. Does anyone know when the Clairvoyance Space Telescope was launched and what its performance is?"

"I remember that the Clairvoyant Space Telescope was sent into space when the first reusable carrier rocket of Reda Aerospace was undergoing full-scale testing. Its performance is said to be very advanced, with a larger lens size, longer shooting distance, and higher resolution, and it can surpass the Hubble Telescope of the United States. This can be seen from the photos taken by Clairvoyant."

"Aren't space telescopes said to be able to take pictures of the starry sky dozens or hundreds of light years away? How come the picture of a small planet in the solar system is so blurry?"

"This asteroid from outside the solar system is cigar-shaped, about 400 meters long and 40 meters wide. It is so small and so far away from the Earth that it is strange that it can be photographed clearly."

"It can accelerate and decelerate, change its trajectory, and its shape is long and narrow. This is definitely an alien spaceship. Could it be that I will see aliens invade the solar system in my lifetime?"

"Since we have made such a great discovery, we should immediately notify the country and the United Nations and launch a probe to conduct a close-up detection to see if this extraterrestrial visitor is a spacecraft."

"Didn't the blog post say that the asteroid's flying speed is 26.3 km/s, far exceeding the third cosmic speed. The aircraft we humans have built have very limited power, and it is difficult to reach the third cosmic speed. It is basically impossible to catch up with this asteroid and conduct close-range detection."

"According to orbital calculations, the asteroid's flight path is similar to that of a comet, both of which are elliptical in shape with a large eccentricity. It is now in the process of flying towards the sun. If the probe sets out from the earth and calculates the lead time, it can intercept the asteroid halfway. Not to mention a direct collision, at least it will be no problem to take a close-up photo." "What you are talking about is so profound. I, a primary school student, can't understand it at all."

"Rida Aerospace is soliciting names for this asteroid from outside the solar system. You can choose from four options or submit a new name. What do you think is a good name?"

"Looking at the shape of this asteroid, of course it's called Little Flying Stick. What a vivid image."

"Yes, yes, yes. Among the four alternative names, Xiao Fei Zhang is the most appropriate. I also chose this name."

"+1 for Little Flying Stick. This name is down-to-earth and descriptive. It's the best choice."

"Small flying stick +1"

Looking further back, there are a lot of "Xiao Fei Gun +1" comments. I don't know what these netizens are thinking. They actually chose this most unorthodox name among the four alternative names. Qiao Ruida opened the voting page and looked at the current voting results. "Xiao Fei Gun" is indeed far ahead, with more than votes ahead of the second place. If nothing unexpected happens, the final name of this asteroid from outside the solar system will be "Xiao Fei Gun".

The next day, Qiao Ruida got up early and ran around the aerospace city, and then went to the staff canteen for a simple breakfast. In the morning, Qiao Ruida and Cao Yifei went together to inspect the major workshops of the factory and learn about the development and production of the passenger space plane, the second lunar probe, and the manned lunar spacecraft.

Qiao Ruida and Cao Yifei, standing next to the huge and bloated aerospace plane, looked particularly short, not even as tall as an airplane wheel.

Chief Engineer Candice pointed to the big guy next to him and said, "Boss Qiao, this first passenger-type space plane has been almost assembled. The software installation and debugging are in progress. It will be ready for the first flight test in about a week."

"Well, Candice and all the researchers and engineers, you have worked hard. It is not easy to work overtime to produce the aerospace plane during the annual leave."

Candice is one of the scientific research dimensional puppets that Qiao Ruida has manifested. It is basically equivalent to an advanced intelligent robot. He is conscientious in his work, but basically blank in his emotions. Moreover, he was written into the code of loyalty to Qiao Ruida at the beginning of his birth. Telling him that he is working hard is basically talking to a cow. However, Qiao Ruida did not say this to Candice, but to the dozens of human engineers and researchers around him.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qiao. We have food and drink here in Aerospace City. During the New Year, my wife and children were also brought over. How can we say that it is hard work?"

"Hey, during the annual leave, you can get triple salary. If you work for more than ten days, you can get a normal month's salary. It's such a good deal."

"Boss, I can't say it's hard work. Including overtime, I only work about ten hours a day. It's pretty easy."

"I am looking forward to the completion of this passenger-carrying space plane that we have participated in developing, and its launch for testing as soon as possible. It would be even better if one day I could take a space plane developed by myself and fly into space for a tour."

"Yes, Mr. Qiao, when the space shuttle is doing flight tests, can you take us researchers with you to go up into space? Even if you let us pay for the tickets ourselves, that's fine."

Hearing the researcher's request, Qiao Ruida smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, everyone has the opportunity to take the space plane and go into space. I have always believed that only when researchers and production engineers like us take the space plane and really go into space and experience it firsthand can we discover the defects and problems of the space plane and think of optimization directions. After the passenger-type space plane is tested and mature, I will arrange for everyone to take turns to take the plane and go into space."

"Really? It's great!"

"I've always wanted to fly into space, but I never had the chance. Now that I've changed my workplace, this opportunity has come."

"Long live understanding! Long live the boss!"

Looking at the crowd around him, who were shouting and rejoicing, as happy as a child, Qiao Ruida also laughed. Scientific research in the field of aerospace is demanding, has a low tolerance rate, and is boring. If you are not particularly passionate about the aerospace industry, you will not be able to stick to it. And as an aerospace person, who doesn't have a dream of flying into space and traveling in the universe? But riding a spacecraft into space has always been the job of astronauts, and it is not the turn of R&D personnel. Besides, in the era of launch vehicles, riding a rocket into space requires extremely high physical fitness of astronauts. The physical fitness of ordinary scientific researchers cannot meet this requirement.

After the birth of space shuttle and anti-gravity engine technology, the situation has changed again. With the existence of anti-gravity engine, space shuttle does not need to accelerate rapidly to reach the fastest speed in the universe, and can fly slowly to enter space. The entire launch process, without large overload, has lowered the physical fitness requirements for astronauts and passengers by several levels. Even ordinary people can take a space shuttle and travel into space. (End of this chapter)
