CHINA DEVELOPS STAR WARS-INSPIRED MICROWAVE WEAPON
Chinese scientists have made significant strides in developing a powerful microwave weapon, drawing parallels with the iconic Death Star from the Star Wars franchise. This technology, designed to disable satellites in space, involves synchronizing multiple electromagnetic waves into a single concentrated beam. The precision required is ultra-high, with the margin of error in the position of each microwave vehicle limited to a few millimeters and time synchronization to no more than 170 picoseconds.
The system, which has already passed preliminary tests, utilizes optical fibers as a crucial component. It is intended for operations in space and can potentially disrupt US GPS signals and affect other satellites. The combined beam power exceeds that of the individual beams, thanks to the effect of combining the waves. This technological advancement highlights the transition of a concept once considered purely fictional into a real-world application.
The development of this microwave weapon underscores the rapid progress in technological innovation, transforming ideas from science fiction into tangible reality. While the context and purpose differ significantly from the fictional Death Star, the technological principles share a fascinating similarity, reflecting the intersection of science fiction and real-world scientific achievement. This microwave-based system represents a significant leap in space technology, showcasing China’s advancements in electromagnetic weaponry.
Filipino Translation:
Nag-pass na raw sa preliminary tests itong system, at gumagamit siya ng optical fibers para maging crucial na component. Planado itong gamitin sa space para makagulo ng US GPS signals at iba pang satellites. Tapos, mas malakas yung combined beam power, aside from the individual beams, dahil yung pag-combine ng waves may special effect. Sobrang high-tech na itong advancement, parang dati parang sci-fi lang ‘to pero ngayon possible na in real life.
Itong pag-develop ng microwave weapon sobrang pinapakita kung gaano kabilis ang innovation ngayon. Yung mga concept na parang dati pang fiction lang, nagiging realidad na. Although hindi naman totally pareho 'yung purpose kumpara sa Death Star, kakaiba pa rin yung similarities sa technology, as in sobrang futuristic! Itong microwave-based system talaga isang major jump sa space technology, parang proof na sobrang advanced na ng China pagdating sa electromagnetic weapons.
China has a ‘Star Wars’-style laser weapon almost ready was first published here.
