Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Inside a large R&D lab, Qiao Ruida met Xiao Jingsheng and three hundred other senior programmers. The development of the text-to-animation software was complete, but subsequent testing and optimization were still underway. If you observe carefully, you'll find that any fully functional, commonly used software on the market wasn't developed overnight. After the initial version is released, user feedback is continuously collected, and updates and iterations are made time and again to optimize existing functions, fix bugs, and add new features to keep the software relevant. This text-to-animation software has just been completed, and there are still many areas that need optimization.

"Mr. Qiao, good afternoon! This way, let me personally demonstrate the powerful functions of this software for you."

Upon seeing their boss, Qiao Ruida, enter the lab, Xiao Jingsheng stopped his work and stood up to greet him. The other programmers, seeing their boss, simply nodded, considering it a greeting, before burying themselves back in their work. They were programmers, developers; coding, finding bugs, optimizing software, and completing development tasks were their primary duties. Greetings and flattery were not their business. Qiao Ruida himself was also a part-time developer and understood the mindset of these engineering types very well. Therefore, when he entered the lab, he never required researchers to stop their work to greet him; such formalism was only a waste of time and served no purpose.

"Mr. Qiao, look, I copied this passage describing a space war into the software's input box, clicked the OK button, and it only took a second to generate a video that's over half an hour long. Moreover, the generated animation is meticulously drawn, the plot is vivid, the visuals are smooth and natural, and the special effects are particularly outstanding. It would be perfectly acceptable to publish it as an animated work."

The software was newly developed, and the interface was still somewhat rough. A large text box occupied most of the screen. Xiao Jingsheng used the mouse to paste a text of about ten thousand words into the text box. It was a description of a space war, with a very grand scale, including battleship battles, dogfights between space fighters, mech battles, the destruction of space fortresses, and landing operations inside planets, etc. It involved a lot of elements, full of details, and it was unclear which science fiction novel it was excerpted from. After pasting the text, he moved the mouse and clicked the "Generate Animation" button below. A progress bar popped up, starting from 1% and quickly climbing forward.

"Actually, our software requires a huge amount of computing power to run. I tried installing it on Intel's latest workstation to generate a one-minute video, and it crashed due to overload. Only our Ruida Group, which has a true quantum supercomputer with almost inexhaustible computing power, can run this groundbreaking software and generate a 45-minute video in just a few seconds. It's simply a miracle."

In just a few words, the progress bar reached 100%, the animation was complete, and a playback interface popped up, starting a brand new animation. Looking at the progress bar below, the video was 45 minutes and 43 seconds long, equivalent to the length of a single episode of a TV series. Qiao Ruida pulled up a chair from the side, sat down, and watched the software-generated animation with Xiao Jingsheng.

The video opens with a long shot showcasing the interior of an unknown galaxy. At the galaxy's center lies a blazing star, its light and heat inexhaustible and perpetual. Closest to the star are two lifeless, rocky planets, covered in massive mining machinery, clearly being exploited as resource-rich planets. Third in line is a planet a mix of blue and green; the green represents forests and grasslands, while the blue represents oceans—clearly a habitable planet, though whether it harbors humans is not shown in the animation. Several enormous gas giants flash by, followed by two ice giants. Finally, a small dwarf planet disappears from view, leaving only the vast, endless void and darkness of the galaxy's outer reaches. Occasionally, oddly shaped asteroids fly by, adding only insignificant embellishments to this darkness.

Then, a flash of light from a starship jump tore through the eternal darkness of the universe, followed by a dense barrage of jump flashes that illuminated thousands of kilometers of cosmic void. Immediately afterward, warship after warp tore through the spatial barriers, squeezing into the real world from the subspace. One moment this place was nothingness, the next it was filled with tens of thousands of black warships, a dense, overwhelming mass that created a powerful sense of oppression. These warships were enormous, generally over ten thousand meters long, with grotesque shapes that defied human aesthetics.

The appearance of a large alien fleet triggered the surveillance systems deployed by humanity on the outer reaches of the star system, sending alarm signals back to the homeworld command center at the speed of light. This immediately triggered a Level 1 war response, with numerous unmanned reconnaissance ships departing from nearby defensive fortresses at full thrust, heading towards the target area to gather intelligence. The first and second rapid response fleets immediately assembled and rushed to the battlefield, while the main fleet began inspecting equipment, replenishing energy and ammunition, and recalling crew members, preparing for the impending great battle.

What followed was a series of exciting battles: small-scale warship skirmishes, space fighter duels, mech battles, and finally, a full-scale space war. The visuals were stunning, the plot flowed smoothly, and the grand scale of the battle unfolded continuously with explosive special effects, captivating Qiao Ruida and keeping him watching. The space war lasted for half an hour, ultimately resulting in a slight defeat for the human fleet. All their warships, large and small, were wiped out, and they only managed to destroy 70% of the alien fleet. The remaining 30% of the alien warships advanced rapidly, heading straight for the human home planet. Meanwhile, some remnants of human warships, or hastily armed merchant ships, hid behind an asteroid, launching surprise attacks when the alien fleet passed by. However, they were outnumbered, outgunned, and unable to even breach the enemy ships' protective shields.

The alien fleet reached the vicinity of humanity's home planet and encountered a concentrated attack from human armed satellites, losing two more main warships. However, these armed satellites were limited in number and lacked sufficient defense, quickly being destroyed by the alien warships. With this, all of humanity's space-based armed forces were completely exhausted, leaving them utterly trapped. To completely conquer humanity's home planet, the aliens launched a brutal landing war. Dozens of massive transport ships entered orbit around the planet, their hatches opened, and tens of thousands of armed landing craft and small mechs swarmed out, plunging into the planet's atmosphere and heading straight for the ground.
