Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Du Qingqing immediately called both parents to tell them the good news of her pregnancy. The four elderly people were overjoyed to hear the good news. Yao Miaozhi and Tang Xiaoman said on the spot that they would go to Ruida Aerospace City to take care of Du Qingqing. Du Qingqing has just been pregnant for more than a month. She is in good health, eats well, and has little pregnancy reaction. She doesn't need anyone to take care of her. She had to persuade her mother and mother-in-law to come to Ruida Aerospace City to take care of her.

As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Under the stimulation of the big red envelope, all the doctors were particularly attentive. They prescribed some of the best pregnancy-preserving drugs for Du Qingqing, and helped her develop a detailed pregnancy diet and daily exercise schedule. They were more attentive than Qiao Ruida, the expectant father.

An hour later, Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing left the staff hospital and returned to Villa No. 1. Du Qingqing touched her still flat belly and said, "I didn't expect that I'm really pregnant this time. Honey, do you think our baby is a boy or a girl?"

"You've been pregnant for just over a month. Even the B-ultrasound can't tell the gender of the baby, so how can I guess? But it doesn't matter. I like both boys and girls. As long as it's our child, I'll treat them equally." Qiao Ruida put his arm around Du Qingqing's slender waist and said gently.

"Oh, honey, it's almost half past nine. The transport mission of the space shuttle and the carrier rocket is about to begin. Should we rush over now?"

"Well, it's really getting late. I'd better go there by myself. Honey, you can just stay at home and take care of your baby. The live broadcast will naturally be handled by the staff."

Thinking of the little life in her belly, Du Qingqing could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, husband. I'll watch the live broadcast at home. Come on, guys."

After bidding farewell to Du Qingqing, Qiao Ruida hurried to the flight control hall. Because there were too many aerospace planes and launch vehicles to be launched today, and some aerospace planes had to go back and forth to space many times, the time was tight and the task was heavy, and a lot of staff were needed. The huge flight control hall was almost full of people. Most of these people came from Ruida Aerospace Company, especially young people. They were energetic and had mastered certain aerospace knowledge, but they lacked work experience, which was the result of continuous recruitment in the past six months. A small number of people came from the National Space Administration. They were generally much older. They were experts and professors in the field of aerospace, with many years of work experience in related fields, rich experience and comprehensive knowledge. This combination of old and new models made up for the shortcomings of both parties and formed a very combat-effective team together. In the last row of the hall, there were media seats, including CCTV, Meng Province TV Station, and major domestic live broadcast platforms and news agencies, all of which sent reporters and cameramen to participate in this live broadcast mission, with long guns and short guns set up densely.

In addition to the flight control hall, there are more cameras set up near the rocket launch tower and the aerospace airport. Some reporters also released drones through special applications to provide aerial footage, striving to make the live footage high-definition and multi-angle so that the audience can watch it all at once. In addition to reporters, there are more than 40,000 tourists who gathered in the safe area designated by the staff, waiting for the start of the space launch with great interest.

Seeing Qiao Ruida, everyone stopped what they were doing and greeted him, "Mr. Qiao, you are here." "Mr. Qiao, good morning!" "Mr. Qiao, congratulations on becoming a father soon."

"You guys are fine too, congratulations, just keep working and don't worry about me!"

Qiao Ruida smiled and nodded, but he did not stop. He walked quickly to the first row of the hall, sat down in his seat, and asked Cao Yifei next to him, "Manager Cao, how are the preparations going?"

"Including 25 space planes and seven Star Rocket super-heavy launch vehicles, all of which have undergone two rounds of inspections and have been fully refueled. They are currently in good condition and can take off at any time. The cargo loading work has been mostly completed and can be completed in about half an hour. The first batch of launches are all large components and robotic arms required for assembling the space dock, remote-controlled robots, and other things. There are too many of them, so they need to be transported in batches. It will take about three days to complete the mission."

Cao Yifei is the general manager of Ruida Aerospace and the main person in charge of Ruida Aerospace City. All important matters must be reported to him, so he has a very comprehensive grasp of the situation.

"As for the weather conditions, I noticed when I came here that the cloud cover showed signs of increasing. Will it affect our space activities?"

"I have seen the weather forecast for the next three days given by the meteorological department. Jarvis also simulated the weather evolution in the next three days based on the satellite cloud map. Generally speaking, there will be no major problems. Today and tomorrow will be mainly cloudy, with no rainfall, and no severe weather such as thunderstorms. It will not affect the launch of aerospace planes and rockets."

"That's good. Let's continue to follow the process. In addition, we need to communicate and share information with the Wenchang Launch Center, coordinate the order and location of the large components entering the site, and don't create trouble for the assembly work of the space dock." "I understand. Jarvis is in charge of this, and even most of the robotic arms are controlled by Jarvis. There shouldn't be any problems."

The space dock, which is about to start construction, is more than one kilometer long and is located in the geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 36000 kilometers. It is a real behemoth. It uses a nuclear fusion reactor as its energy core, a carbon fiber and alloy steel composite keel, a carbon fiber skeleton, and a new translucent polymer material shell. This new material has excellent hardness and impact resistance, enough to cope with the impact of ordinary micro-meteorites. After the space dock is completed, it will become the largest man-made spacecraft in space, even larger than the commercial space station of Reda Aerospace. People throughout Asia and Europe can see the existence of the space dock with their naked eyes during the day.

To build such a huge space dock, it would require too many large components, new materials, and equipment parts. It took the Ministry of Industry to coordinate more than 200 state-owned and private factories across the country to work overtime for more than a month before it was barely completed. After the subsequent space dock is completed, the construction of the Proxima space battleship will be started, which will require more parts and higher technical content. At that time, bidding will be conducted nationwide, or even worldwide. Such a complex large-scale space project involves hundreds of factories, hundreds of thousands of employees, and the production, inspection, transportation, and assembly of hundreds of thousands of parts. It is extremely complicated and complex. Only an artificial intelligence program like Jarvis can control the entire process, no matter how big or small, without any mistakes.

Now, the space dock construction project is about to start. Hundreds of thousands of parts produced by major factories across the country have now been concentrated in Ruida Space City and Wenchang Space City. They will be loaded in batches on space planes or carrier rockets and sent into space one by one. They will rise sharply near a certain coordinate point in the geosynchronous orbit, and then be assembled together by the mechanical arm controlled by Jarvis and the robots controlled by aerospace engineering experts to form the Rising Sun Space Dock.

In the past six months, in order to reduce the cost of launching satellites and spacecraft, the national aerospace department has purchased 20 space planes from Ruida Aerospace Company, purchased anti-gravity engines and nuclear fusion batteries, and assembled space planes by itself. Today, these space planes have replaced launch vehicles and become the main way for the country to launch satellites. Several domestic private aerospace companies have also invested heavily in Ruida Aerospace to place orders for one to several space planes, which are being delivered one after another. Unlike the national aerospace department, which mainly orders cargo space planes, these private aerospace companies mainly order passenger space planes. There are also cargo planes, but the number is small. I think they also have their eyes on the fast-growing space tourism project.

In addition, several foreign aerospace companies and even some wealthy countries have sent business teams to Ruida Aerospace City to discuss the purchase of aerospace planes, but they were rejected by Cao Yifei on the grounds of insufficient production capacity or national export restrictions. As the saying goes, those who are not of my race must have different hearts. Who knows what these foreign companies will do with the aerospace planes after buying them back? What if they are equipped with missiles to attack other countries? Wouldn't Ruida Aerospace become an accomplice to the evil? Anyway, from Qiao Ruida's perspective, Ruida Aerospace will not sell aerospace planes to other countries before the Chinese country and company have established an absolute advantage in the field of space development.

In order to complete this launch mission, Wenchang Space City mobilized 30 space planes, and its comprehensive transportation capacity is not much worse than that of Ruida Space City. However, Ruida Aerospace's unique Star-rocket super-heavy launch vehicle has a single-time transportation capacity far exceeding that of space planes, so it took on the transportation task of super-heavy components such as segmented keels and main frames, becoming the main force of this space transportation mission.

At ten o'clock in the morning, under the public witness of tens of thousands of tourists on site and millions of viewers in TV and online live broadcast rooms, the first Star Arrow super-heavy carrier rocket was launched. The gushing tail flame, the roaring sound, the violently shaking ground, and the rising water vapor all caused the powerful power of this super-heavy carrier rocket. Under the joint action of dozens of Suzaku engines, the huge Star Arrow soared into the sky and soon disappeared into the clouds. Only the rumbling echo could be heard at the scene, and the rocket body could no longer be seen. The audience who chose to watch in the live broadcast room had a much better experience. At this time, the live broadcast screen had switched to the rocket's perspective. The huge Ruida Space City quickly moved away and shrank, and then it passed through the clouds, layers of clouds, boundless, and fairy-like, which looked particularly spectacular. The Star Arrow continued to rise until three minutes after the launch, when the altitude reached about 80 kilometers from the ground, the first and second stages successfully separated. The first stage entered the recovery program and returned along the original route under the control of the grid rudder.

The second-stage rocket ignites, pushing the payload through the atmosphere and into real space, and then the fairing is jettisoned. After the rocket continues to move forward for a distance, the payload separates from the second-stage rocket. The second-stage rocket then starts the recovery program and returns to Ruida Space City, where it lands and is recovered at a pre-set recovery site. In space, the payload is in an environment of almost zero gravity and zero resistance. After separating from the second-stage rocket, it continues to fly for a distance in the original direction and speed until it approaches the geosynchronous orbit. The small engine installed outside the payload starts to ignite and start, decelerating while adjusting the flight direction, so as to accurately enter the designated coordinate position of the geosynchronous orbit.

The orbital climb and orbit insertion process of the payload is quite long and will last for several hours. After the controlled landing and successful recovery of the first-stage rocket, the live camera switched to the aerospace airport, because the first aerospace plane loaded with supplies had entered the runway and was ready to take off. Since the cargo transported by the aerospace plane this time is almost all metal components, the weight is relatively high and almost reaches the nuclear load limit. For the sake of safety, the aerospace plane did not take off vertically, but adopted the most primitive taxiing takeoff. This take-off method, in addition to the anti-gravity engine can fully function, can also borrow the lift brought by part of the taxiing, which can theoretically increase the load limit of the aerospace plane by about 15%.

"Calling the flight control center, this is the Xuannv space plane. We have made all preparations for takeoff. Entering runway one, requesting takeoff." The voice of a female astronaut sounded on the public channel, requesting takeoff.

"Xuan Nu, this is the flight control center. The current weather conditions are good. Runway 1 has been cleared and permission for takeoff has been granted."

"Xuan Nu understands"

After the call, the Xuannv space plane immediately started its anti-gravity engine, sprayed two light blue tail flames at the tail of the plane, and then released the brakes. The space plane quickly slid forward along the runway, faster and faster, and lighter and lighter. When the gliding distance reached about two kilometers and the gliding speed reached 400 kilometers per hour, the astronauts quickly pulled up the nose of the plane and turned the anti-gravity engine to the maximum power. The next moment, Xuannv raised its nose high and flew off the ground, like pulling onions out of dry land, and flew quickly diagonally upward. From the real-time flight speed marked on the lower left of the live broadcast screen, it can be seen that the flight speed of the Xuannv space plane is still increasing, and soon exceeded the speed of sound, exploding a beautiful sonic boom cloud. After another three minutes, Xuannv had exceeded twice the speed of sound, passed through the clouds, and completely disappeared from the lens range of the ground camera.

After Xuannv took off, the live broadcast did not switch to the perspective of the aerospace plane, but the camera direction turned and returned to the aerospace airport. The second aerospace plane had entered runway 1 and began to taxi for takeoff. In the following half an hour, 20 aerospace planes were launched on the two super-long runways of the aerospace airport. This launch efficiency is much higher than that of a launch tower that can only launch one launch vehicle and takes a particularly long time to prepare. (End of this chapter)
