Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"This time we took the space shuttle into space in order to shoot more real space shots for use in the movie. I have another unwelcome request, Mr. Qiao, can you authorize the appearance of these two space shuttles from Ruida Aerospace to our crew? I want them to appear in the movie as typical space transportation tools in the era of Earth's wandering?"

"Of course there is no problem with this, but I do have a small request. The scenes in which these two space planes appear in the movie cannot show the plane crashing or having an air crash due to quality problems or mechanical failures. We will continue to use this passenger version of the space plane to develop space tourism business in the future. If people watch the movie and think that this space plane has safety risks, that would be troublesome."

The space shuttle appeared in the movie, which was also a kind of soft advertising. It was a good thing that it could be obtained without spending a penny of advertising fees. Qiao Ruida readily agreed, but also made strict requirements. He must not lose the big picture for the small and cause adverse effects on the upcoming space tourism project.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Qiao. The space plane appears in the movie only as a means of transportation for the protagonist to go to the Navigator Space Station. It will not malfunction or even crash. I was thinking that it is a bit too low-level for astronauts to still ride on carrier rockets into space in the era of Earth wandering. It would be much more reasonable if it were replaced by a space plane," Director Guo assured, patting his chest.

Qiao Ruida recalled the movie "The Wandering Earth" that he had watched in his previous life and the early script that he had read last year. The astronauts represented by Liu Peiqiang entered the Navigator Space Station and the means of transportation they took was actually a launch vehicle. When I watched the movie at that time, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Now thinking back, it is indeed a bit LOW. In the world of "The Wandering Earth", in order to escape the solar system, all human technology has been focused on aerospace technology, and even planetary engines, a black technology product that defies the sky, have been created. As a result, astronauts still use inefficient launch vehicles to enter space, which is indeed a bit unreasonable. If the means of transportation were replaced with a space plane, it would be much more coordinated with the social background at the time.

Qiao Ruida nodded in agreement and said, "You make sense. It would be much better if we use a space shuttle. As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. Only a good director like you, Director Guo, would be so careful with these details. By the way, Director Guo, I wonder how far the filming of The Wandering Earth has progressed. Can it be released this year?"

As an investor of the film, it is normal for Qiao Ruida to care about the progress of the filming. Director Guo thought for a moment and replied, "All the storylines that take place on the ground in the film have been filmed, and the post-production special effects are being produced. What is being filmed now is the plot that takes place in space and the space station. This part accounts for about a quarter of the entire film's length. Because it involves a lot of green screen shooting, non-physical performances and special effects scene production, it is too difficult to shoot, so it is placed at the end. Now the actors are in good condition and the team is running in well. I am confident that all the shooting links can be completed within two months and enter post-production. With the artificial intelligence and supercomputing resources provided by Ruida Group, the speed of special effects production has been greatly improved. I think it is not a problem to complete the post-production work before the end of the year, and strive to release it in time for the Spring Festival, and then bring a Chinese-style science fiction shock to the world."

Qiao Ruida recalled the release date of the movie "The Wandering Earth" in his previous life, which seemed to be February 2019, 2. In other words, his participation made this domestic classic science fiction movie come out three years earlier, and the playback equipment was changed from 5D projectors to 3D holographic projectors. This can be regarded as a small contribution made by him, a reborn person, to domestic science fiction movies.

"I heard that director Cameron's Avatar 2 has already wrapped up filming and is in post-production, and will likely be released during the Christmas season. Your movie is scheduled for the Spring Festival, and will likely compete head-on with Avatar 2. Aren't you afraid?"

"Director Cameron is a procrastinator. He always delays the release of a movie for four or five years. There are rumors about Avatar 2 every year, but from what I know about Director Cameron, it is unlikely that the movie will be released in the next two years. Besides, our Wandering Earth is a Chinese science fiction story, adapted from a science fiction novel, and has a large fan base. At least the domestic box office is guaranteed, so even if it collides head-on with Avatar 2, I won't be at a disadvantage."

It is said that the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy. Look at how thoroughly Director Guo knows Director Cameron and how accurate his judgment is. According to the timeline of the previous life, Director Cameron's "Avatar 2" will be postponed until 2022. In this life, Director Cameron has been exposed to 3D holographic projectors and holographic photography technology from Reda Technology. I don't know if it will affect the progress of his filming. Science fiction fans around the world will not have to wait for seven years to see the sequel to the classic science fiction movie "Avatar".

At this moment, the loudspeaker installed on the side wall of the cabin turned on, and the captain reminded, "The Great White Shark space plane is about to take off. To ensure the safety of all passengers, please return to your seats, put on your helmets, and fasten your seat belts. If you have large equipment or metal objects with you, please secure them to prevent accidents. I repeat, the Great White Shark space plane is about to take off. To ensure the safety of all passengers, please return to your seats, put on your helmets, and fasten your seat belts. If you have large equipment or metal objects with you, please secure them to prevent accidents."

Everyone cherishes their lives. After hearing the captain's reminder, they quickly put on the transparent resin helmet that comes with the space suit in the cabin. With a "click", the buckle automatically moves, and the helmet and space suit are completely combined together. Then everyone returns to their positions, pulls up the safety belt, and fastens it. The main function of the space suit is to resist overload and decompression, and the safety belt mainly plays a fixed role to prevent you from floating around after entering space.

At the same time, the ground crew around the aircraft removed the boarding ramp, drove away the tractor and maintenance support vehicle, and completely cleared all items and personnel around the aerospace plane, preparing for takeoff.

After seeing through the in-flight monitoring that all passengers were ready, the captain applied for takeoff to the flight control center, "Rida Aerospace Flight Control Center, Rida Aerospace Flight Control Center, this is the Great White Shark passenger space plane, I am ready, apply for takeoff."

"The flight control center has received the message. The current weather conditions are good, visibility is excellent, and take-off is permitted." The dispatcher's voice came from the communicator, approving the take-off application and reporting the weather conditions near the aerospace city, which gave the crew members peace of mind.

"Understood. The Great White Shark will take off immediately. The 124th test flight of the passenger version of the space plane will begin immediately."

The captain pressed the start button to start the takeoff process of the aerospace plane. The next moment, the three anti-gravity engines under the belly of the plane started up, spewing out light blue tail flames, and a layer of anti-gravity force field invisible to the naked eye was generated, wrapping the entire aerospace plane, isolating the influence of the earth's gravity, and giving the body an upward force, pushing the aerospace plane to slowly leave the ground and fly vertically into the sky. When the flight altitude of the aerospace plane exceeds one kilometer, the two propulsion anti-gravity engines at the tail start up, generating huge thrust, pushing the aerospace plane to accelerate suddenly before, and fly deeper and farther into the deep space.

The four elders, Qiao Jingkang, Yao Miaozhi, Du Feng, and Tang Xiaoman, stood outside the aerospace airport and witnessed their children boarding the aerospace plane. The plane then slowly took off and pierced the sky. It would be a lie to say that they were not worried. However, if young people do not want to be eliminated by society, they should continue to learn and actively try new things. Taking an aerospace plane to travel into space is an active attempt to broaden their horizons and increase their knowledge. Parents should not and cannot stop them. Moreover, the safety of the aerospace plane has been tested many times by test flights. I think my children will not be so unlucky to encounter a one-in-a-million space accident. Yao Miaozhi watched the aerospace plane fly higher and higher until it finally disappeared from sight. She couldn't help but let out a long breath and said, "Huh - I heard that ordinary airplanes are most likely to have accidents during takeoff and landing. Now everything is normal during the takeoff phase, and there are no problems. I think there will be no accidents when entering space later."

"Wife, don't worry. Our son participated in the design and development of this Great White Shark space plane, so the quality is definitely guaranteed. If there really is a problem, he wouldn't dare to sit on it and go into space himself," Qiao Jingkang comforted his wife, holding her hand.

"Yes, Xiaoda is a mature and steady kid, also very talented. All the spacecraft he has participated in designing, such as the Suzaku rocket, the Star Rocket rocket, the space plane, the Clairvoyance space telescope, etc., are of high quality, and there has never been any accident so far. This Great White Shark space plane was also developed under his leadership, so there is definitely no problem with its quality." Du Feng also echoed, while at the same time comforting himself and increasing his confidence.

Yao Miaozhi gently stroked her chest to calm her over-beating heart, and said, "I understand what you said, and I believe in Xiaoda's ability and integrity. He will not make any mistakes on a critical device like the aerospace plane that affects the lives of dozens or hundreds of people. But I can't help but worry in my heart. When I think of Xiaoda and Xiaoxue riding a small plane and floating in the vast space, I feel uneasy and can't sit still or lie down."

Tang Xiaoman nodded in agreement and said, "As the old saying goes, a mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away. I feel this deeply. When Qingqing was admitted to Peking University and left home to study in Beijing, I couldn't sleep or eat well. I was always worried about whether she could eat and drink well, whether she could adapt to university life, and whether she would catch a cold. Now my daughter and son-in-law are taking a space shuttle to travel in space, and I am even more worried."

"If you are really worried, you can go to the flight control center, where you can see real-time images from the cabin of the aerospace plane and have conversations with the crew on board." Qiao Jingkang also felt his wife's worry, so he suggested.

"Really? There is a place like this! That's great. Let's go, let's go quickly. Let's go to the flight control center and see their situation with our own eyes." Yao Miaozhi was very tempted by her husband's suggestion and urged everyone to set off immediately.

"Okay, let's go to the flight control center as well. We don't need to disturb these young people's journey. I will feel more at ease if we can see their real-time images on the spot." Tang Xiaoman, who was also worried about her daughter's safety, also pulled Du Feng and quickly followed.

Two flowers bloom, each with its own beauty. After Qiao Ruida, Du Qingqing and their group took off on the space plane, the space plane flew higher and higher, faster and faster, and soon broke the sound barrier. The engine noise, the sound of the body breaking the wind, and other various noises disappeared in an instant. The surrounding environment was surprisingly quiet, and you could even hear your own heartbeat.

Most of you here have had the experience of flying on a civil airliner, but the maximum flight speed of a civil airliner is only subsonic and will not break the sound barrier. So this is the first time for everyone to experience supersonic flight in the atmosphere. That feeling is quite magical.

"Oh, what's going on? Why did the engine noise suddenly stop? Could it be a malfunction?" Qiao Ruixue was the first to break the silence and expressed her concerns.

"The plane's engine is still working normally. From my position, I can see part of the engine's tail inflammation. I guess this is a normal phenomenon that occurs after the plane's flying speed exceeds the speed of sound." Du Qingqing said, leaning out of the window.

"Isn't it said that when fighter jets fly at supersonic speeds, they will produce sonic booms and make deafening noises? Now that our aerospace plane has also exceeded the speed of sound, how come it has become quieter?" A photographer from the crew of "The Wandering Earth" raised his doubts while operating the camera.

"The sonic boom and the huge noise are all things that happen outside the plane. When the plane crosses the sound barrier, the flight speed exceeds the transmission speed of sound. The engine noise, sonic boom, and wind noise are all left behind the plane. The passengers sitting in the plane are feeling the same thing. All the noise disappears in an instant. It is quieter than wearing noise-canceling headphones." Qiao Ruida is one of the developers of the aerospace plane. He is well aware of the phenomena that occur when an aircraft crosses the sound barrier. He immediately stepped forward to answer questions and eliminate misunderstandings.

"I see. Thank you Mr. Qiao for clearing up our confusion. I have learned a new piece of aerospace knowledge. That's great."

The passenger version of the space plane is heavier and has a larger body, but it uses the same power layout as the ordinary version of the space plane. (End of this chapter)
