Super Copy of Great Power Technology

After sending the investigation team away, Zhong Ruixiang immediately took out his mobile phone and called his boss Shao Heping, reporting the investigation team's visit to the Ruida Automobile Factory in detail. Finally, he concluded: "Director Shao, don't worry. Our Ruida Automobile has reasonable pricing, makes money according to the law, and pays taxes according to regulations. The Automobile Association cannot ask us to raise prices without reason."

"That's good. The sales performance of our Ruida Automobile in the first quarter depends on this wave of promotions before the New Year. You have to keep an eye on it."

Putting away his phone, Shao Heping returned to the conference room. Cao Yifei, general manager of Ruida Aerospace, was speaking about the construction progress of the Ruida Space Dock. "... the main building of the dock has been completed, all equipment has been installed, and the interior decoration work is coming to an end. A large number of staff, engineers and robots have moved into the space dock in batches to familiarize themselves with the environment and prepare to take over the dock. In about two or three days, the space dock will be completed and delivered. We have already stored a large amount of raw materials, parts, and semi-finished skeletons in Ruida Aerospace City, Commercial Space Station, and Moon Base. Once the space dock is delivered, we can immediately start building multiple spaceships simultaneously. Mr. Qiao, we currently have more than a dozen spaceship design drawings in our hands. Which type of ship do you think we should build first?"

Qiao Ruida, who was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, pondered for a moment, and then replied: "The third-class slipway has started to build space mining ships. This type of ship is the smallest in size and the simplest in structure, and is very suitable for training. The second-class slipway has started to build pioneer ships. The discovery of the star stream channel has made the unreachable outer galaxies within reach. The discovery of the life planet Proxima b has provided a ready-made target for interstellar development. Once humans benefit from interstellar development, countless adventurers and capital will wave money to buy spaceships, recruit warriors, and go to more distant galaxies to find the next star stream channel, the next life planet, or the next mineral planet. Our mining ships and pioneer ships will definitely be sold after they are produced. As for the first-class slipway, leave it empty for now. Our engineers and workers have no experience in building large space ships, or even large ships. It is better not to challenge high difficulties right away. If something goes wrong, it will be a disaster if the ship is destroyed and people die. By the way, how is the training of the 10,000 newly recruited employees? Can they start work immediately?"

The interior space of the space dock is large enough, with multiple slipways set up inside. There is one first-class slipway, which can build large space ships with a length of more than one kilometer and less than five kilometers; there are five second-class slipways, which can build medium-sized space ships within one kilometer; there are twenty small slipways, which can build small space ships within three hundred meters in length.

During the construction of the Ruida Space Dock in the past few months, Ruida Aerospace has recruited a large number of engineers, managers, and workers for preliminary training on life and work in space. It is planned to send these people to the space dock after the space dock is built to engage in the construction of space ships. Ruida-related companies have high salaries, high bonuses, good welfare benefits, and never require active overtime. They have always been one of the best choices for college graduates to find jobs, elite talents, and management talents to change jobs. Now that Ruida Aerospace has released the news of recruiting, it immediately set off an uproar among job seekers. For a time, all kinds of resumes flew in like snowflakes, and the colleagues in the company's human resources department couldn't read them all. They had to trouble Jarvis to do a preliminary screening and remove those resumes that obviously did not meet the requirements. Then from the remaining resumes, the best were selected, and finally 20,000 people were left, and they were notified to go to Ruida Space City or Ruida Group headquarters for interviews.

After two rounds of rigorous screening by the interviewers, 10,000 people finally passed the interview and became new employees of Ruida Aerospace. In the next few months, these 10,000 new employees will be concentrated in Ruida Aerospace City to learn space knowledge, space life, space work, space risk avoidance and other professional knowledge and training. Now that the Ruida Space Dock has been completed, a large number of talents are needed to operate and maintain the space dock and build space ships. As the saying goes, "training troops for a thousand days and deploying them for a moment", these 10,000 people have been trained for so long and have received several months' salary in vain. Now it is time to test their training results.

Cao Yifei patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, Mr. Qiao. In this employee training, we innovatively used a combination of teacher teaching and virtual world practice, and achieved good training results. The brain-computer interface equipment developed by our Ruida Research Institute is already very mature. You only need to wear a headset-shaped device to consciously descend into the virtual world. According to the design drawings of the Ruida Space Dock, our engineers have built a 1:1 fully simulated space dock in the virtual world in advance. These employees have worked and lived in the virtual space dock for two months. They are very familiar with the environment in the dock and have mastered all the equipment. I believe that after they move into the Ruida Space Dock in reality, they will be able to adapt quickly."

"That's good. Developing space resources, exploring and even migrating to other galaxies are the development priorities of our Ruida Group in the next few years. All of this requires a large number of space ships. Therefore, the Ruida Space Dock must be managed well, and as many space ships of various models as possible should be produced while ensuring quality. In addition, I thought about it. The Chinese New Year is coming in a few days, so the inauguration ceremony of the space dock should not be a big deal. When the time comes, we should choose a good day, call the executives of the group's branches, and invite some of our group's partners, suppliers, and sellers to go to the space dock to hold an internal inauguration ceremony and celebrate on a small scale."

Qiao Ruida made the final decision, and naturally no one else would object. Besides, the New Year is coming soon, and all the company affairs have accumulated together. The company executives are so busy that they really don’t have much time and energy to organize a space dock inauguration ceremony that can be held or not. However, there are still people who want to fight for benefits for their families. Liu Jiayu, general manager of Ruida Network Company, asked: "Boss, can we bring our family members with us to the dock inauguration ceremony? Nannan is very interested in space and often pesters me to take her to travel in space. Everyone knows that I am very busy every day, so I don’t have time to take Nannan on a trip. Can I bring Nannan with me to the space dock inauguration ceremony this time? It can also be regarded as helping her realize her dream."

"You want to bring your family members, right? That's no problem. Our space dock is very large and can accommodate several times more people attending the inauguration ceremony. Let's put it this way. When attending the inauguration ceremony, each executive can bring three family members with him. The company will be responsible for transportation, catering and accommodation."

Ruida Aerospace has been engaged in space tourism business for a long time, and has sent more than 100,000 tourists to space. There are five tourist flights every day, and they take off every day, but the tickets are still in short supply. Later, other newly established aerospace companies also ordered passenger space planes from Ruida Aerospace to carry out space tourism, space station tourism, and even lunar tourism business, which has set off a space tourism boom both at home and abroad.

Space travel is indeed expensive, costing thousands or tens of thousands of yuan per person, but for the senior executives of Ruida Group, this amount of money is nothing. Basically, one month's salary is enough for the whole family to travel to space more than a dozen times. The reason why they didn't go is that they don't have that much free time.

Everyone at the meeting was delighted to hear that they could bring their families. As company executives, they receive high salaries, but also spend a lot of time and energy. Overtime is commonplace. Even when they get home, they often receive work calls from their subordinates, which inevitably takes up some of their time with their families. Taking the opportunity of attending the inauguration ceremony of the space dock, it seems like a good idea to take a family space trip.

"Since you've spoken, it's your turn to report on your work." Liu Jiayu didn't mind being called by Qiao Ruida. Anyway, at today's meeting, the general manager of each branch had to report, it was just a matter of time. She immediately stood up and said, "In terms of operations, in 2016, the total number of orders for Ruida Mall reached 3000 billion, and the annual sales exceeded 31320 trillion for the first time, reaching 22 billion, a year-on-year increase of 1985%, and the profit was 18 billion, a year-on-year increase of 2.2%. The number of active users increased by 1 million, including 2348 million overseas users. In addition, our Ruida Mall's ongoing year-end promotion event was very successful. As of yesterday, sales had reached billion. At present, most of these orders have been sent out, and the first batch of customers who placed orders have received the goods.

In terms of research and development, our programmers have developed a virtual world version of Reda Mall, which is currently undergoing internal testing. Using the brain-computer interface device developed by Reda Research Institute, you can enter the mall in a virtual body, go shopping, try on clothes, food and products, giving you a completely different shopping experience from online shopping or real-world shopping. In addition, our technical team has also developed a virtual reality game, which we plan to launch online after the release of the brain-computer interface to test the virtual game market.”

It is the nature of young people to love playing. Among the executives attending the meeting, young people accounted for more than half. When they heard Liu Jiayu mention virtual games, they immediately became excited and asked about the details.

"Mr. Liu, the virtual game you are talking about, is it the kind where you put on a gaming helmet and can consciously enter the game world?"

"Sister Liu, what is the theme of this virtual game you developed? Western fantasy, Eastern fairy tales, or ancient martial arts?"

"Mr. Liu, I have a previous generation brain-computer interface device used for online conferences. Can I log in to your virtual online game?"

"Mr. Liu, can you give me an internal test account..."

Liu Jiayu obviously underestimated the appeal of virtual games to young people. It was hard to imagine that these colleagues who were usually serious would be so excited for a virtual game that was still in the internal testing stage. She pressed her hand to signal everyone to be quiet. When the noisy voice died down, she continued to speak: "There is no game helmet. You can log in to the game using an ordinary brain-computer interface device. The name of the game is "Galaxy Record", and the theme is interstellar war. The game map is generated by an intelligent system, and the scope is even larger than the real Milky Way. The degree of freedom of the game is very high. You can be an alliance soldier, drive a mecha, drive a warship, and participate in interstellar wars. You can be an interstellar merchant, lead a caravan, trade between major stars, and earn countless wealth. You can also be a star pirate, gather a group of like-minded friends, and drive a star pirate warship to rob on popular trade routes. Now the game has been developed and is undergoing internal testing to find bugs. If you want an internal test account to help test, of course there is no problem. Just say it on the internal chat software later."

"Speaking of virtual games, let me ask you, Mr. Zhao, the brain-computer interface device has been developed for a while, right? When will it be officially released to the public?"

Zhao Hongcai smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will be soon. Brain-computer interface devices are now being mass-produced and stocked. After the Chinese New Year, when we hold the spring new product launch conference, brain-computer interface will be the main product. At that time, virtual applications such as virtual shopping, virtual games, virtual cinemas, virtual training, virtual chat, etc. will also be launched simultaneously. I am confident that the virtual world can be made into a second world for mankind."

Hearing Zhao Hongcai's statement, there was a warm applause in the venue. Everyone was young and curious, and they wanted to see how magical and magnificent the virtual world was as soon as possible.

After the topic of brain-computer interface, everyone discussed the issues of year-end bonuses and annual meetings. After a year of development, the number of employees in Ruida Group has expanded again to more than 100,000. It is obviously impossible to gather such a large number of employees together for an annual meeting. We can only follow the method of last year, setting up the main venue in Beijing and branch venues across the country, so that employees can attend the annual meeting nearby. The main programs will be performed live at the main venue, and the branch venues will use holographic projection to share. For activities such as on-site lotteries, a unified employee database will be set up, and all winners will be randomly drawn from the database.

During the discussion, someone suggested that the company's annual meeting be held in the virtual world, which would save a lot of money on renting the venue, organization, and transportation. At the same time, in the virtual world, the venue can be set to be infinitely large, or it can be set to a multi-layered mode, so that any number of employees can gather together for the annual meeting. It would be exciting to think about hundreds of millions of people gathering together to watch the show. (End of this chapter)
