Super Copy of Great Power Technology

"Yes, only by jumping out of the cage of the earth can we have a global vision. Only by going beyond the solar system can humans gain a firm foothold in this vast universe. However, with the current level of human technology, we are still far from achieving this goal."

Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing stayed on the space station for twelve hours, during which they took a lot of photos and short videos to record the beautiful space scenery. Qiao Ruida selected some representative photos and posted them on his personal Weibo, which attracted a lot of attention and likes from fans. I forgot to mention that on the commercial space station, there is a wireless signal provided, which uses the satellite network channel. As long as you turn on the WIFI function of your mobile phone and connect to the ubiquitous wireless WIFI signal in the space station, you can make calls and surf the Internet, but the delay is slightly higher, about two hundred milliseconds. In order to ensure smooth information transmission, the bandwidth allocated to each mobile phone is not very high, only about 1Mbps, which is enough for playing games and watching videos, but it is enough for sending a few photos.

When the No. 20 space shuttle returned to Ruida Space City with Qiao Ruida and others, it was already early morning of the next day. tourists walked down the gangway first. Most of them had not rested for more than ten hours, but they were all excited and talked freely, without any signs of fatigue. These tourists were picked up by a minibus and taken to a hotel that had just opened, where they were arranged to stay and rest. Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing followed the tourists, got off the space shuttle, found an electric commuter car near the airport, and drove back to Villa No. .

After the success of its maiden flight, the space tourism project of Ruida Aerospace immediately became a hot topic of discussion on the Internet, and once topped the hot search list. Space tourism has also become the preferred tourist project for countless wealthy people and is sought after by the people. With the popularity of space tourism, there is naturally no shortage of customers. In the following days, the space tourism project released more than 2 tickets every evening, and they were always sold out in seconds. Many people who are rich and free and yearn for space want to buy a ticket but can't, so they simply go to second-hand platforms or forums to find scalpers to buy high-priced tickets. There are many who increase the price by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands. Especially the scarce and expensive No. 499999 space plane tickets, the hype is the most outrageous. The original price of tickets was hyped up to more than million by these greedy scalpers, which is four or five times the original price. It is simply crazy.

A week later, Qiao Ruida was reported about the scalpers' rush to buy and hype space tourism tickets, which really surprised him. Since the establishment of Ruida Technology Company and the launch of the first Ruida mobile phone, Qiao Ruida has dealt with scalpers a lot, and he has no good impression of these vampires. In order to crack down on scalpers who hype Ruida series electronic products and make huge profits, Ruida Technology Company has successively adopted restrictive measures such as real-name purchase, purchase restrictions, and on-the-spot activation. To a certain extent, it has hit the arrogance of scalpers and reduced the influence of scalpers, but it is basically impossible to completely eliminate the existence of scalpers. In fact, the reason why scalpers exist is nothing more than that new products are launched, the supply is insufficient, and consumers cannot buy products through normal channels, which gives scalpers the opportunity to buy and sell and profit from it. To cure scalpers, you only need to increase the production capacity of products and supply them in large quantities. Without the phenomenon of panic buying, there will be no room for scalpers to survive.

Ruida mobile phone and Ruida laptop are electronic products. When new products are launched, they are relatively scarce. It is okay to be bought and hyped by scalpers. Qiao Ruida did not expect that in the space tourism project, there would be scalpers hyping up air tickets. There are people who are hyping up things worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. Aren’t they afraid of losing money? Now that the scalper problem has been discovered, we must find a way to solve it. The most fundamental solution is to produce more passenger-carrying space planes, open up more space tourism quotas, and meet the ticket purchase needs of all tourists. Naturally, scalpers will have no room to survive. But it is not easy to do this. The structure of the space plane is complex, with many parts and components. The production cycle takes at least three months. If you want to expand the number of space tourism quotas on a large scale, don’t think about it in a short time. What’s more, there is only one commercial space station, and the daily reception capacity is limited. It is impossible to increase the supply of the second ticket, which is the most hyped. At present, all we can do is to use the real-name system for ticket purchases, limit the number of tickets purchased, and prohibit ticket transfers. Qiao Ruida quickly explained it and solved the scalper problem.

Time soon came to the end of August, the summer vacation was about to end, and the new semester was about to begin. Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing drove back to Beijing, reported to Peking University, and paid the tuition for the new semester. Qiao Ruida rarely appeared in the laboratory, accompanied a group of seniors, did experiments for a few days, and showed his presence in front of Academician Wang. By the way, he submitted a paper on quantum computing, and then continued to ask for leave and left. In the entire Peking University campus, Qiao Ruida is the only one who takes leave once every six months and for half a year at a time. But Qiao Ruida's identity is special. He has the title of the richest man in the country, and he has so many high-end papers published in famous domestic and foreign journals. Even the harsh tutor can't say that he is not allowed to take leave.

After staying in Beijing for half a month and dealing with the company's backlog of documents and affairs, Qiao Ruida bid farewell to Du Qingqing and returned to Ruida Aerospace City again. He plunged into the production workshop and continued to advance the production progress of the lunar version of the space plane.

Hard work always pays off. With the joint efforts of Qiao Ruida, Ruida Aerospace and hundreds of scientists and engineers from the National Manned Spaceflight Team, on this day in early September, two lunar version space planes finally rolled off the production line and entered the subsequent test flight phase.

The two lunar version space planes are named Chang'e and Benyue. Compared with the ordinary version of the space plane, the lunar version is smaller. The power layout is basically the same, both are three at the bottom and two at the back, but they use the second-generation anti-gravity engine. This version of the anti-gravity engine has been specially strengthened for the lunar environment. It can work normally in different gravity environments and can resist the invasion of lunar dust. In the space environment, the thrust is increased by 50%, which can greatly increase the flight speed of the space plane and reduce the time to fly to the moon. It takes at least three days for the Apollo series spacecraft to fly from the earth to the moon, while the Chang'e and Benyue space planes only need 24 hours for the same journey. This is the power of the second-generation anti-gravity engine.

The moon is 38 kilometers away from the earth, and a round trip is 72 kilometers, which is much farther than going back and forth to the space station, or transporting satellites into geosynchronous orbit, etc., and the original energy plan is not enough. In order to improve the endurance, three Ark reactors are installed in parallel in the lunar version of the space plane to supply the power consumption of the anti-gravity engine, life support facilities and various instruments. After adding fuel once, it can theoretically supply the space plane to go back and forth to the moon more than five times. The interior of the lunar version of the space plane is divided into three cabins, namely the cockpit, the crew cabin and the cargo cabin. The cockpit can seat two people, the pilot and the co-pilot respectively, and the crew cabin can seat three people. There are wall-mounted sleeping bags and toilets inside to meet the short-term living needs of astronauts. The cockpit and the crew cabin are both pressurized cabins, connected by a hatch in the middle, which is convenient for astronauts to take turns on duty and rest. Outside the crew cabin, an independent airlock cabin and a hatch with a retractable gangway are installed to facilitate astronauts to enter and exit the space plane after arriving on the moon. The cargo hold is a non-pressurized cabin, but it has a huge space. The entire hatch can be opened backwards and fall onto the lunar surface to form a slope, which can facilitate the transportation of materials and can also be used for the driving of the lunar rover.

Three days before the test flight, the lunar version of the space plane conducted multiple taxi tests, vertical lift tests, and cargo tests. After ensuring that there were no problems, it gradually carried out low-altitude flight tests, high-altitude flight tests, atmospheric entry and exit tests, and long-term space stay tests.

Half a month later, the Chang'e space shuttle carried out the first test of the moon landing. There were no astronauts involved in this moon landing, and the whole process was completed by intelligent programs and remote control. The purpose was to familiarize the moon landing flight route, verify the flight performance and endurance of the moon landing version of the space shuttle, and prepare for the subsequent formal moon landing. At the beginning of the test, the Chang'e space shuttle took off from the Ruida Space City with a dummy and a simulated payload. After an hour of flight, it entered space, then circled the earth half a circle, entered the earth-moon transfer orbit, and the engine thrust was fully pulled, heading straight for the moon. After a 23-hour long-distance flight, the Chang'e space shuttle successfully arrived near the moon, then adjusted its flight attitude, turned on the main engine, and carried out half an hour of reverse thrust deceleration, successfully entering the lunar orbit. In the next two days, the Chang'e space shuttle has been active near the moon, conducted several orbit change tests, and released several small moon-circling satellites for precise positioning and communication on the lunar surface. After completing the mission, it took another day to return and successfully landed in the Ruida Space City. To ensure that everything went well, the same unmanned lunar landing test was conducted three times, with Chang'e and Benyue respectively going to the moon, and the tests were a perfect success. After that, a manned lunar landing test was conducted, with three astronauts sent up to test the life support system, communication system and various living facilities, which was also a complete success.

As time entered September, another important test began, that is, the unmanned lunar landing test. This test mission was completed by the Moon Bend, that is, flying to the moon without human crew, landing on the lunar surface, retrieving the helium-3 gas collected by the first lunar exploration spacecraft launched by Ruida Aerospace, and then returning safely. This time, the Moon Bend space shuttle did not carry human astronauts, but carried a newly developed lunar intelligent robot to transport helium-3 cylinders and conduct some lunar surface environment tests.

This unmanned lunar landing test was carried out during the lunar day in the Sea of ​​Tranquility, and it took a day to reach the moon. The landing on the moon used an anti-gravity engine to reverse thrust and land vertically. The whole process was very smooth and the landing point was very precise. It landed directly near the first lunar exploration spacecraft with an error of less than half a meter. Then the hatch opened, and the intelligent robot appeared on the scene, heading to the helium-3 extraction factory, and carried the helium-3 gas cylinders that had been collected a few months ago one by one into the cargo hold of the Moon-Bending Spaceplane. Then the air bottles brought on this trip were carried back to the helium-3 extraction factory, installed in place, and the pipelines were connected. The lunar soil collection vehicle, which had been dormant for several months, started again to carry out the next lunar soil collection and helium-3 extraction process.

After loading the helium-3 gas, the Moon Run did not return immediately, but took off and headed for the Aitken Basin at the South Pole of the Moon, landing near the Pioneer lunar exploration spacecraft, delivering a large amount of supplies and a large lunar soil printer provided by the Manned Spaceflight Office. This printer can mix lunar soil, lunar dust, and some colloidal materials brought from the Earth, and print them into a building material similar to hollow bricks for the construction of lunar bases. This brick, named lunar soil brick by researchers, is resistant to high and low temperatures, pressure and wear, and has first-class stability. It is an ideal lunar building material. With it, it is easy for humans to build houses on the moon, and migrating to the moon is not a dream. After completing the task of transporting materials, the intelligent robot also stayed at the South Pole of the Moon to collect lunar soil, operate the printer to make lunar soil bricks, and build a lunar base nearby to prepare for manned lunar landing and alien spacecraft excavation.

At this point, the unmanned lunar landing mission of the Moon Lander was successfully completed. It took off from the moon and returned to the Earth's Ruida Space City along the same route. After the Moon Lander successfully landed on the ground, the cargo hold was opened immediately to complete the unloading. Then the Moon Lander was towed to the hangar by a trailer for a comprehensive inspection to assess the damage to the body caused by the large temperature difference and lunar dust on the moon. The final test results were quite good. Only the paint on the outside of the body was slightly worn, and some sealing materials aged more rapidly. No problems were detected in the main body and the most important engine.

After unloading the cylinders filled with helium-3 gas, they were immediately loaded onto trucks and transported to the fusion industrial park next door. The ignition test of the fusion experimental reactor, which had been stagnant for a long time, has started again. The difference is that the nuclear fusion fuel this time has been replaced by helium-3 gas instead of deuterium-tritium gas. Different raw materials naturally lead to different fusion formulas, and correspondingly, data such as fusion temperature and magnetic field strength also need to be re-explored. The path that was taken during deuterium-tritium fusion needs to be taken again. Fortunately, the requirements for helium-3 fusion are lower, and the existing equipment of the fusion experimental reactor can fully meet the requirements. The experts, engineers and staff involved in the experiment also have experience, so they are familiar with the adjustments and save a lot of time. It took only half a month to push the stable operation time of the fusion reactor to more than twelve hours, breaking the world record again. (End of this chapter)
