Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Moreover, the maintenance and transportation costs of the space plane are much lower than those of the launch vehicle, even the reusable launch vehicle. This is also the reason why major domestic aerospace cities and private aerospace companies have eliminated small and medium-sized launch vehicles and spent huge sums of money to place orders with Ruida Aerospace to purchase space planes. The only two advantages of launch vehicles over space planes are that they have a relatively fast orbital speed, which is suitable for rapid launch and emergency networking in emergency situations, and that they have a relatively large carrying capacity, which is suitable for delivering large objects into space. In order to build the space dock this time, the National Space Administration and Ruida Aerospace used several super-heavy launch vehicles in order to send the main skeleton of the space dock into space.

One hour after the launch, the payloads delivered by the heavy-lift rocket climbed to a designated position in the geosynchronous orbit and ignited the brakes. Then the transport cabins opened one after another, first releasing dozens of strange-looking space robots. These robots resemble octopuses, except that each claw is a long mechanical arm, and each mechanical arm is fixed with some kind of construction tool, such as a combination wrench, a welding gun, a drill, etc. On the body of the "octopus", there are multiple small plasma engines evenly distributed to propel the octopus robot to move freely in the gravity-free space.

After these octopus robots left the cabin, they followed the pre-set task flow, combined in pairs, entered a cargo hold, and used their robotic arms and plasma engines to drag out some large alloy components that were more than ten meters long. After all these components were dragged into space, they were arranged and combined in a certain order to form the main beam structure of the space dock, and then screws and welding were used to completely fix this super-large alloy component, which floated quietly in the geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 36,000 meters above the ground.

In this space construction, the octopus robots developed by Ruida Aerospace played a huge role. In the almost weightless space, they move freely, flexibly and accurately, and have completed the assembly of some dock main beams very well. More importantly, the actions of these robots are completely controlled by artificial intelligence and completed autonomously. All human operators need to do is sit in the ground control center, operate the computer and type, and give a few tasks to the robots far away in space. If all these jobs are replaced by human astronauts, let alone how dangerous it is for humans to construct in space, just in terms of work efficiency, human astronauts will be hung up and beaten by robots.

In the following hours, the space shuttles launched from Ruida Space City and Wenchang Space City arrived at the designated location of the geosynchronous orbit and unloaded a large amount of building materials and parts. The number of octopus robots also increased to more than 100. They divided the work and cooperated to assemble these building materials and parts according to the pre-set positions and order, and installed them on the alloy main beam. The main frame expanded and grew rapidly, and the initial prototype of the space dock was formed.

All of this was recorded by the Octopus robot's camera, and then presented to people all over the world through television and online live broadcasts. The Chinese people were naturally excited and celebrated, with an unprecedented sense of national pride. Foreign people, especially those in Europe and the United States, were worried and bitter. Many of them jumped out to say sour words in the live broadcast room, exaggerating the theory of China's threat.

"When did the aerospace technology of the Eastern power evolve to such a terrifying level that such a huge space building can be built at any time?"

"It's fake, all fake. Everything you see is fake, created by special effects technology. It's difficult for Europe and the United States to cooperate in building a new international space station. How can the Eastern country, which is just a developing country, have such powerful space technology?"

"This is an aerospace plane and a space robot. It looks like a scene from a science fiction movie. If the University of Tokyo had such awesome space technology, why would it pursue peaceful development? It would have unified the world by force long ago."

"I am the first mate of an international cargo ship. I have some unfortunate news to tell you. Everything in the live broadcast is real. The cargo ship I am on is now sailing on the high seas around 120 degrees east longitude. The existence of the space dock can be seen with the naked eye. If you don't believe me, there are photos to prove it, #SpaceDock.jepg"

"The commercial space station previously launched and assembled by Reda Aerospace was large enough that it could be seen with the naked eye even on a clear day. Now this space dock is no less impressive. Judging from its size alone, it has gradually caught up with and even surpassed the commercial space station."

"What's the point of China building such a large space dock? Is it going to build the large space battleships that often appear in science fiction movies?"

"Are space battleships the kind of weapons in science fiction that can traverse the vast sea of ​​stars and the boundless sky, and destroy half of the Earth with one shot? Can such science fiction things really be created by current human technology?"

"Building space battleships means that the University of Tokyo is openly violating the Outer Space Treaty and deploying military forces in space. I remember that the University of Tokyo is also a signatory to the treaty. It's not good to go back on one's word like this."

"These international conventions and treaties have always been made for weak countries. As long as you are strong enough, you can overturn the table whenever you want."

"Ever since the astronauts from the University of Tokyo landed on the moon, their space technology has made great progress. It's only been a short time, and they've even come up with something as sci-fi as a space dock."

"From all the evidence, it can be inferred that the University of Tokyo must have made an amazing discovery on the moon, which has directly or indirectly improved their aerospace technology. I suggest that capable countries send spacecraft to the South Pole of the moon to take a look, and there will definitely be gains."

"Based on the aerospace technology currently mastered by humans, it is almost impossible for spacecraft to break the speed of light. It is difficult for humans to leave the solar system and travel to other galaxies. China's choice of this time to build a space dock and large space battleships is simply a waste of money and manpower, and the gains do not outweigh the losses."

The above are just the voices from the public abroad, which are being discussed on the Internet. In the following days, some countries either issued public statements or protested through other channels, condemning China for deploying large weapons warships in space and blatantly violating the Outer Space Treaty. Among them, the ugly country was the most excited, protesting at the UN General Assembly and sending an aircraft carrier fleet to Asia for defense, as if it would fight if China did not stop its actions in space.
