Super Copy of Great Power Technology

The Dongfang Space Dock was jointly built by the National Space Administration and Ruida Aerospace, but Ruida Aerospace only invested in technology and did not hold many shares. After the space dock was built, it was also handed over to the team formed by the Space Administration for management. Ruida Aerospace only provided some technical support and rarely intervened in the management work there. According to the estimated time, the hull of the first space battleship should have been built, and they were busy installing internal equipment and doing interior decoration. I don’t know why Ma Zhenxuan called him at this time. Could it be that there was something wrong with the design drawings of the space battleship.

It was useless to think too much. Qiao Ruida picked up the phone and answered the call. "Captain Ma Wu, good afternoon. You are such a busy man, why did you think of calling me?"

"Mr. Qiao, you're joking. You're the major shareholder of our space dock. Isn't it normal for me to call you to report on my work?"

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and quickly got to the point. "Mr. Qiao, this is what happened. We have already built the space obstacle clearance ship you designed. The only thing missing is the large force field generator developed by your company, Reda Aerospace. I wonder how your research and development progress is and when you can deliver the product?"

The space obstacle clearing ship is one of the series of space function ships designed by Qiao Ruida. As the name suggests, it is mainly used to clear meteorites and small satellites on the route. It can also clear meteorites in the star stream channel to reduce the safety of the spacecraft when passing through the star stream channel. There are two types of space obstacle clearing ships designed, manned ships and unmanned ships. The unmanned space obstacle clearing ship is about the same size as a destroyer, while the manned obstacle clearing ship is much larger, about the same size as a 10-ton aircraft carrier. The Vostok space dock was able to be built at such a fast speed, and it should be a relatively small unmanned obstacle clearing ship.

As a weapon for clearing waterways, the obstacle clearing ship has put in a lot of effort on both the offensive and defensive ends. In terms of attack, a variety of shipborne weapons are set up, including laser cannons, electromagnetic cannons, missiles, dense arrays, etc., which can easily deal with meteorites and asteroids of various sizes. In terms of defense, in addition to thickening the hull and setting up a heavy armored protective shield in front of the hull, there is also an important defense device, the force field generator. The original force field generator was a by-product of the development of the anti-gravity engine. It can generate a protective force field on the surface of the aerospace plane. When artillery shells, missiles, or meteorites attack, once they enter the range of the protective force field, they will be subject to a strong deflection torque, thereby changing the target's flight direction and bypassing the aerospace plane body to achieve the purpose of defense.

The initial version of the force field generator can only defend against some machine gun shells, slow missiles, and slow meteorites. It is almost ineffective against high-speed targets with a relative flight speed of more than Mach 5. Later, the researchers of Ruida Aerospace carried out special enhancements based on the first generation of force field generators, greatly enhancing the strength and range of the protective force field, thus achieving some of the invincible shields that only mechas and warships in science fiction works have. However, this enhanced version of the stand shield is not without disadvantages. It is a bit large in size, and when the power is fully turned on, the energy consumption is quite terrifying. It is definitely impossible to install it on ordinary aerospace planes. Only large space ships equipped with large nuclear fusion reactors can play a role.

The force field generator that Ma Zhenxuan is talking about now is this kind of product that has been optimized many times. Since there are relatively few large space ships, the structure and function of each ship are different, and the force field generator cannot be mass-produced. It can only be customized according to the structure and needs of the ship. In the design drawings of a series of warships and functional ships provided by Qiao Ruida to the Dongfang Space Dock, almost all of them are equipped with force field generators for enhanced protection. Even unmanned obstacle clearance ships, such small guys, are no exception. The force field generator is a patented technology of Ruida Aerospace and has never been authorized to others. Therefore, the force field generator required on the obstacle clearance ship can only be handed over to Ruida Aerospace for research and development and production.

"Captain Ma Wu, I have handed over the research and development and production of the force field generator to the project team below. I don't know the specific production progress. Let me call and ask for you, and give you an answer later."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Qiao. It would be best if it can be delivered within a week. Our obstacle clearance ship only needs two force field generators. Once they are installed, we can launch it for sea trials."

Ma Zhenxuan's words were somewhat anxious, and Qiao Ruida could hear it even through the phone. He couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Didn't you say that after the construction of the first space battleship is completed, it will be combined with other functional ships to form a fleet and set out to the Proxima system? Space battleships have complex structures and many functions, so the construction progress will definitely not be fast. It will be good if it can be launched from the dock for sea trials at the beginning of next year. There is still early time, why are you in a hurry to get a clearance ship out and act alone?"

"Hey, I'm not afraid of you making fun of me, Mr. Qiao. Our three latest deep space probes have lost contact one after another after entering the Star Stream Channel. Experts have analyzed the data sent back by the probes and speculated that they should have hit an area densely populated with meteorites and were wiped out. Facts have proved that this Star Stream Channel leading to the Proxima Galaxy is more dangerous than we imagined. It is very difficult for ordinary spacecraft without various weapons and force field shields to pass through the Star Stream Channel safely. We are thinking of building a few unmanned obstacle clearing ships and sending them to the Star Stream Channel to clear the large and small meteorites in the channel. This will also pave the way for us to launch unmanned probes, unmanned spacecraft, and even manned spacecraft to the Proxima Galaxy in the future."

Ma Zhenxuan was straightforward and told the space agency everything that had happened. Now the probe has discovered a large number of plants and animals, water sources, and precious minerals on Proxima b. With a little modification to its ecological environment, humans can survive in it. Once Chinese astronauts reach the Proxima system through the star stream channel and land on Proxima b, they can claim sovereignty over the planet and help China occupy the first extraterrestrial territory. This is a huge feat of expanding territory. Once successful, everyone from top to bottom, from astronauts to space ship R&D personnel, production personnel, and leaders of relevant departments, can benefit from it. It is no wonder that Ma Zhenxuan is so anxious. Unfortunately, exploring extraterrestrial systems is not like landing on the moon or exploring Mars. It is much more difficult. Let alone other things, just a star stream channel has stumped all the people in the space agency. (End of this chapter)
