Super Copy of Great Power Technology

When the scientists saw on the large screen a dense array of alien spaceships and warships, swarming across the void of space and heading towards the entrance of the Star Stream Channel, they couldn't help but tremble—a mixture of fear and excitement. Since humanity ventured beyond Earth and into interstellar space, the species they had encountered were mostly those lacking intelligence or possessing only limited intelligence. Large-scale warfare, especially interstellar warfare, had never occurred before. As a result, the numerous spaceships built by the four major space docks had become virtually useless. Some short-sighted individuals within the country were already calling for fewer or no spaceships to be built, saving resources for developing civilian spacecraft—a more beneficial approach for China's expansion in space and exploration of more unknown galaxies.

This large-scale invasion of the solar system by the Sirius alien fleet is undoubtedly a formidable test for the newly established Chinese space fleet. Victory means territorial expansion and the imminent occupation of the Sirius system. Defeat means national extinction, the fall of Earth, and the potential complete annihilation of human civilization by the Sirius aliens. This impending cosmic war is not only a battle for territory but also a fight for racial survival. Neither side has any way out; defeat means total collapse, and genocide will be imminent.

Such a momentous matter was far beyond the capabilities of a small project team, so the information was escalated through the ranks, and an internal meeting was quickly convened. At this time, Qiao Ruida and his family had just returned to Earth from their vacation. As a renowned aerospace technology expert and the founder of the only private aerospace company in China with a large number of spacecraft and the capability to build them, Qiao Ruida was invited to participate in this crucial internal meeting concerning the future and destiny of the entire Chinese nation and even all of humanity.

The meeting was held inside the China National Space Administration's office building, where security was extremely high. After arriving at the National Space Administration, Qiao Ruida underwent two rigorous checks and identity verifications before being allowed entry. Upon entering the conference room, Qiao Ruida found that many people had already arrived and were gathered in small groups, quietly discussing something. Among the crowd, Qiao Ruida recognized several figures who frequently appeared on CCTV news, as well as several high-ranking officials in military uniforms, indicating the exceptionally high level of this meeting.

"Qiao, come sit over here. Most of us from the aerospace system sit around here." A middle-aged man in a suit and black-rimmed glasses on the left waved to Qiao Ruida, inviting him to sit with him.

Qiao Ruida took a closer look and recognized Academician Wu Weiren, the chief designer of the national lunar exploration program. He had dealt with this gentleman quite a bit when promoting the manned lunar landing project and building the first lunar base. He hadn't expected that Academician Wu would also be invited to this internal meeting, but considering that his area of ​​expertise was spacecraft design, his invitation was quite reasonable.

Qiao Ruida walked over, found an empty seat, and started chatting with Academician Wu.

"Qiao, you're well-informed. Do you know why the higher-ups organized this internal meeting?" After a brief exchange of pleasantries with Qiao Ruida, Academician Wu eagerly asked the question that had been on his mind. The other senior professors sitting around also stopped talking and pricked up their ears, waiting for Qiao Ruida's answer.

"I'm not entirely sure what the main topic of this meeting is, but I personally suspect it's likely related to the extraterrestrials discovered by the country in the Sirius system." Qiao Ruida had just returned to Beijing from his vacation when he was dragged into this meeting. He had only seen some of the information about the Sirius system during his trip, so his understanding was incomplete.

"What? You're saying there are aliens in the Sirius system? How was that discovered? As far as I know, even the most advanced space telescopes aren't enough to see planets 8.6 light-years away, let alone find any trace of alien activity." Academician Wu frowned, his old face filled with doubt and confusion.

"Remember the expeditionary fleet our China sent to the Proxima Centauri system a year ago? While traversing the asteroid belt, they unexpectedly discovered some alien spaceship wreckage. Later, our ships intercepted and captured the wreckage, finding fragments of alien bodies and deciphering some remaining information. This revealed that the lost alien fleet originated from the Sirius system, 8.6 light-years away, and pinpointed the location of the stellar flow passage between our solar system and the Sirius system. To search for extraterrestrial life, the space agency immediately launched six unmanned probes to the location of the stellar flow passage, attempting to enter and explore the interior of the Sirius system. Just recently, some of these unmanned probes successfully traversed the stellar flow passage and reached the Sirius system. It's highly likely that this recent national internal meeting is related to the discoveries made by these unmanned probes within the Sirius system."

"I never imagined that the legendary aliens actually exist, and that they're located in the Sirius system, right next to our solar system! This news is truly shocking!"

Qiao Ruida and Academician Wu exchanged only a few words before the meeting officially began. Academician Liu, the head of the deep space exploration project, took the lead in chairing the meeting. He stood on the podium, cleared his throat, and then clearly stated the purpose of this internal meeting: "Dear colleagues, friends, and leaders, good afternoon. First, I have some bad news to share with you: there are a large number of extraterrestrials in the Sirius system, which is 8.6 light-years away from our solar system. Moreover, at this moment, a large number of extraterrestrials, traveling in tens of thousands of spaceships, are crossing the star channel and heading straight for Earth."

Academician Liu's simple sentence instantly ignited the entire conference room, with a constant buzz of discussion.

"What? Academician Liu, you're saying there's an alien fleet consisting of tens of thousands of space warships on its way to Earth? How is that possible? Aren't aliens supposed to be fictional creations in science fiction, and impossible to exist?"

"Alien invasion of Earth? What kind of ridiculous joke is this? It's not April Fool's Day, you can't joke like that."

"Yes, Academician Liu, this is a matter of life and death for humanity. You should provide some evidence to prove what you're saying."

"Evidence? Of course, we have it. Please look at the big screen. Let me clarify beforehand: the following video content is not special effects, not AI-generated; it's real footage taken by our unmanned probe in the Sirius system next door. We only did some editing; we didn't do any secondary processing." Academician Liu turned on his laptop, connected it to the projector, and started playing a video. (End of Chapter)
