Super Copy of Great Power Technology

These senior experts and professors, averaging over 70 years old, experienced remarkable results after receiving the superhuman serum. Various ailments disappeared, gray hair turned black, wrinkles vanished, and their physiques and appearances returned to those of middle-aged individuals. Their hearing and eyesight improved, their strength increased dramatically, their agility increased, their energy became exceptionally high, and their overall physical condition surpassed that of young people. The sensation they caused when they reappeared before their family, friends, and colleagues with this completely new image is easily imaginable.

The astronauts in front of them will be the second batch of users of the Superhuman Serum. Their journey to the Proxima Centauri system is extremely far, the space environment is complex and harsh, and they will have to traverse the perilous Starflow Passage. Even with the protection of the spaceship, the journey is fraught with danger. Injecting all the astronauts with the Superhuman Serum will comprehensively enhance their physical capabilities, giving them a greater chance of dealing with the unknown dangers of their space journey.

With a limited number of astronauts to begin with, the medical staff acted swiftly, administering the medication to all astronauts in just over ten minutes. The medical personnel then arranged for the astronauts to lie down and rest on dozens of temporary beds, activating various medical instruments to monitor their body temperature, heart rate, brain waves, and other data. About ten minutes later, the astronauts fell into a deep sleep. Simultaneously, their body temperature rose, their heart rate increased, their skin flushed, and they sweated profusely. If you observed closely, you would notice that their sweat was very murky, even resembling mud. In a sense, the superhuman serum is similar to the rare and precious herbs and elixirs in some martial arts or cultivation novels; both can have the effect of cleansing the marrow and improving the body's cultivation potential.

An hour later, the astronauts who had been injected with the medication woke up one after another, only to be disgusted by the sticky grime covering their bodies. They all rushed to the nearby bathhouse to shower. During this process, the astronauts, unaccustomed to their sudden increase in strength and speed, caused quite a few comical mishaps. For example, running too fast and not having time to turn, they crashed into the wall; one yanked off the bathroom door handle; another accidentally tore several holes in their clothes while undressing. Qiao Ruida, with a touch of mischievous amusement, watched the antics for a while before heading off to inspect the production workshop. These astronauts' physical abilities had suddenly increased several times over, and it would take at least two or three days to readjust. Qiao Ruida had many follow-up arrangements for this trip to the grasslands and didn't have time to linger here.

Two days later, Joreda and several executives from Rida Space appeared on a deck of the Rida spaceship dock to personally see off the four astronauts who were about to participate in the interplanetary expedition.

"Old Xie, the journey to the Proxima Centauri system is long and fraught with danger, so you must be extremely careful. If you encounter any danger, prioritize your own safety. Those spaceships and probes, no matter how valuable, are just inanimate objects; losing a few won't matter much. During the journey, communication must not be interrupted, so as not to worry everyone." Qiao Ruida patted Xie Duanyang on the shoulder and said earnestly.

Xie Duanyang straightened up, gave Qiao Ruida a solemn salute, and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Qiao, we have made all the preparations and guarantee the completion of this Proxima Centauri exploration mission."

Seeing that it was almost time, Xie Duanyang called his three colleagues, and they lined up to board a small space shuttle. Xie Duanyang quickly walked into the cockpit, sat in the captain's seat, and after identity verification, obtained driving privileges. He pressed the communication button, connected to the dock control center, and requested a departure channel. Then he pressed the start button, gripped the control stick, and steered the shuttle along the channel out of the Ruida space dock, heading towards the expedition fleet's assembly point not far into space. On the dock deck behind them, including Qiao Ruida, the company executives, the remaining astronauts, and the families of the four astronauts, waved goodbye, watching the space shuttle disappear into the depths of space.

That afternoon, eight human astronauts and hundreds of intelligent robots remotely operated by ground personnel gathered on the deck of Proxima Centauri, the largest space flagship in the world, for a grand departure ceremony. CCTV-1 and CCTV-10, along with several online streaming platforms, broadcast this unique ceremony live. The live stream began with a wide panorama of the ceremony site, brightly decorated, with red flags fluttering and cannons booming—a truly awe-inspiring spectacle. The camera then panned to the eight astronauts, including Xie Duanyang, standing ramrod straight, looking directly at the camera, solemn and silent. Behind them stood a formation of hundreds of intelligent robots. These robots varied in size and appearance, initially indistinguishable from ordinary humans, with flashing indicator lights on their chests identifying them as intelligent robots. Behind the robot formation was an interstellar migration ship nearly a kilometer long and over fifty meters high, surrounded by hundreds of spacecraft of varying sizes and shapes. The scene was one of formidable naval power and impressive scale.

Seeing this scene, the Chinese people were filled with pride and a sense of national pride welled up within them. A small number of foreign netizens who entered the live stream, however, felt a mix of emotions, gritting their teeth and wishing they could take their place.

The camera pans again, revealing a lifelike robot holding a microphone and a press pass pinned to its chest, broadcasting live: "Good afternoon, viewers. I am Wang Jing, a reporter from CCTV. I am currently aboard the Proxima Centauri spacecraft, providing live coverage. Led by the my country National Space Administration and jointly funded by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, and Ruida Aerospace Company, humanity's first interstellar expeditionary fleet has been assembled. Today, a grand departure ceremony will be held aboard the flagship Proxima Centauri spacecraft. According to the information I have obtained, the entire interstellar expeditionary fleet consists of 123 interstellar ships of varying sizes. This includes the flagship Proxima Centauri, the planetary warships Zhenyue and Zhenhai, the large clearing ships Qing Sao 1 and Qing Sao 2, and numerous reconnaissance ships, mining ships, transport ships, supply ships, landing ships, and various other functional vessels. Statistics show that the total tonnage of the entire expeditionary fleet reaches tens of millions of tons."

The expedition fleet's destination this time is the distant Proxima Centauri system, where our unmanned probes have discovered a precious planet with life—Proxima Centauri b. (End of Chapter)
