hello and thank you for tuning in to our Channel where we explore those uniquely shaped weapons and equipment in the Sci-Fi World which are truly breathtaking technological Marvels that leave a lasting impression before we dive in we need a small favor from you please take a moment to hit the Subscribe thumbs up and notification buttons below so you can stay updated on all our latest videos in reality there are also many amazing existences with a strong sci-fi feel they are either New Concept weapons that have transitioned from science fiction to reality or Cutting Edge Technologies filled with futuristic designs it is precisely these miracles from reality that provide more imaginative space for sci-fi Works around us there is a Sci-Fi aircraft assembly site known to military enthusiasts as the nin project the nman project made its first public appearance in October 2019 during the Air Force Aviation open day were a scaled model of the space Lan bird and the Shen new space unmanned fighter was exhibited the concept of the 100,000 ton space carrier Lan bird is 242 m in length with a wingspan reaching 684 M and a maximum takeoff weight of 12,000 tons capable of carrying 88 Shen new one-man space Fighters at the 2021 China Air Show the production line model of the Shen new Space Fighter made its official debut the Shen new fighter jet in its conceptual design is an unmanned air superiority fighter featuring massive mess in Vortex generators on both sides of its fuselage these are complemented by forward swept Wings which are quite striking it simultaneously possesses High maneuverability High stealth capabilities and intelligence systems as a Space Fighter it uses an inductive force field drive device for propulsion enabling it to fly not only within the atmosphere but also to engage in combat outside the atmosphere utilizing weapons such as particle accelerator cannons and Hypersonic missiles at the 2022 China air show a fullscale model of the by D fighter jet was publicly unveiled the concept of the by D fighter jet includes a stealthy exterior combined with a complex set of variable Wings making the by D fighter jet look like a flying Transformer it employs full spectrum stealth with the ability to freely switch between manned and unmanned mod Advanced Technologies such as drone command and adaptive engines and can quickly change Mission attributes by replacing onboard modules it adopts a variable structure that adjusts the aerodynamic layout in real time based on altitude air speed and flight attitude both concept fighter jets differ from existing modern fighter jets in terms of aerodynamic layout propulsion engines flight modes and weaponry essentially being armed to the teeth with sci-fi technology in reality the more advanced the design of a fighter jet the more it resembles a Sci-Fi appearance the attack 11 is China's first stealth capable flying wing layout on man combat aircraft the wjan 7 is the world's first high altitude long endurance UAV to be put into practical use featuring a diamond shaped connected Wing layout the WAN 8 adopts a Wave Rider like delta wing layout and is equipped with a rocket engine it boasts outstanding high altitude in high speed performance even being referred to by military enthusiasts as China's first space drone why do technologically advanced sci-fi grade aircraft always have unique appearances the so-called unique appearance essentially means subverting tradition or in other words being vastly different from traditional shapes reflecting Humanity's Innovative outlook on Equipment Technology these outlooks encounter enormous technical difficulties during the realization process for instance in film and television works we often see those aircraft with spindle shaped and extremely streamlined appearances due to the need for high-speed flight to adapt to different complex environments these aircraft might employ transformation technology meaning the shape of the aircraft can be altered in actual engineering technology such designs are extremely challenging yet people also hope aircraft can rely on a single power system to fly both with within the atmosphere and into outer space these are all human aspirations for aircraft therefore Humanity also hopes that aircraft can achieve vertical takeoff without relying on Runway taxiing more often film and television Works integrate various Technologies into a single aircraft in reality if such an aircraft were to be manufactured it would incur extremely heavy technical costs real world weapons and equipment also have unique appearances for example the stealth fighter bomber f-17 when it first appeared we noticed it had a complex polyhedral shape with interconnected facets capable of flight and evading radar detection the F-22 and B2 bombers have even more unexpected shapes however these designs are precisely due to the pursuit of stealth and long-range capabilities many people are very interested in the variable sweep wings of the F-14 tom cat fighter jet because it is an aircraft with a shape that can change however in actual design these variable sweep Wings have imposed a heavy burden on the engineering and Technical Personnel the wing box part needs to be designed to be very strong and its maintenance and support have become very complex the operating costs are exceptionally High similarly if we look at high-speed fighter jets like the f104 you will find that it looks like a slender pencil with very short Wings on both both sides and its appearance seems very comical of course at that time it also looked very sci-fi as it was designed to pursue extremely high speeds in fact the core Technologies of sci-fi fighter jets are gradually being overcome and Engineering practice turning fantasy into reality what exactly does a space engine look like in 2022 a new type of engine flight demonstration and verification was successfully completed the tests indicated that our country has independently overcome the key Technologies of this new type of engine possessing the capability for independent research and development as well as engineering realization of new engines we have now ranked among the world leaders in the field of new Aerospace power and in the future Hypersonic aircraft will experience significant aerodynamic heating with heat accumulating rapidly requiring more efficient thermal management and more advanced heat conduction Technologies necessitating a special cooling technology during the Flight of the aircraft it travels at very high speeds the Leading Edge will generate intense friction with the atmosphere producing aerodynamic heating if too much heat accumulates it will burn the materials once the shape changes all flight conditions change leading to catastrophic failure therefore the efficient heat dissipation of the core component the heat pipe is crucial for the safety of the aircraft from large man spacecraft to small computers and space stations they all rely on a series of Technologies including heat pipes to avert danger our country's three room two Hall space Mansion before its launch actually underwent many rounds of reliability demonstrations one of The Proud aspects is the use of heat pipe technology to handle all these devices sent into space with over 30 years of research in the field of heat pipes the district Comm has witnessed and participated in the entire process of our country's heat pipe technology evolving from following and running alongside others to partially leading the development over the past 10 years has been very rapid for example initially 500° C was considered high temperature heat pipes 1, 1200° C was ultra high temperature heat pipes and now even higher temperatures reaching up to 2000° C which had not been achieved before are now being led by us ignition ignition we often say that each generation of materials leads to a new generation of equipment for missiles rockets and other aircraft thermal protection materials are like a golden Bell Shield the working temperature of the combustion chamber in the engine Workshop of the Long March 5th series carrier Rockets is usually around 3000° C the Sho wrong Mars Rover faces the extreme cold challenge of over -100° C during its patrol phase on the Martian surface at this time thermal protection materials act like a parka always at the Forefront therefore the Innovative research and precise use of thermal protection materials are powerful guarantees for the continuous development of aircraft the recent experiment was not magic this is nano aoel which feels almost weightless in hand in fact it is the lightest known cell material in the world today with excellent thermal insulation radiation protection and wave absorption properties it is hailed as one of the 10 magical materials that can change the world and has already created 15 Guinness World Records nowadays a series of aerogel material products independently developed by our country have become indispensable protective armor for equipment in many fields over a decade ago for researchers aerogel was merely a magical desp found in a few pieces of literature in 2019 after Relentless research and repeated verification a high temperature resistance level of aerogel finally broke through to 1, 1500° C in 2021 two types of Nano aerogel materials successfully boarded a flight to Mars perfectly escorting space heavyweights through the extremes of Ice and Fire after more than a decade of unremitting efforts the aerogel material products developed by Aerospace Personnel can now withstand temperatures ranging from -100° to 2500° aerogel is also an extremely practical infrared stealth material all objects in nature emit infrared radiation the magnitude of which is directly proportional to their surface heat therefore infrared detection equipment whether day or night measures the radiation difference between the Target and the background to obtain infrared images different objects the engines electronic equipment and mechanical components within tank armored vehicles can all generate infrared radiation as heat sources this infrared radiation can reveal the vehicle's position but by covering the exterior surface of the tank armored vehicles with Nano aoel materials the outward emission of thermal radiation can be isolated achieving infrared stealth this Advanced new gel material can support the development of our more advanced weaponry helping us enhance some of its more advanced features such as flying further and carrying heavier loads which is significant for Aerospace equipment for deep space exploration this also holds a lot of practical significance these New Concept Firearms not only have a cool appearance but their shooting principles are also more sci-fi breaking away from traditional gunpowder driven methods and instead using electromagnetic force when the projectile is fired there is no flame and noise is very low the shooting power can be controlled by adjusting the firing power it is a non-lethal weapon due to current technological limitations The lethality of electromagnetic guns is not as high as that of traditional gunpowder Firearms however within the family of electromagnetic weapons there is another member under development a large electromagnetic Cannon which is extremely powerful traditional cannons rely on the expansion of gunpowder gases to generate thrust for the projectile but this expansion speed is limited the initial velocity of the projectile at the muzzle has a theoretical limit to break through this limit and improve penetration accuracy and range the electromagnetic Cannon was developed unlike traditional cannons the electromagnetic Cannon does not have a barrel but uses electromagnetic coils or rails for launching compared to traditional cannons large electromagnetic cannons have high initial velocity long range and high Precision the electrothermal cannon another member of the sweet potato cannon family is also transitioning from science fiction to reality the electrothermal cannon uses electrical energy to heat specific components to propel the projectile either entirely or partially electromagnetic cannons will replace some traditional cannons in the future because compared to the latter they have some unique advantages for example traditional cannons are limited by the expansion speed of gunpowder gases which imposes a theoretical limit on the projectile's muzzle velocity electromagnetic cannons do not have this limitation therefore in future applications such as shipborne air defense and anti-tank Fields electromagnetic cannons have promising prospects however they also have some drawbacks for in terms of energy Supply they are not very suitable for small or light cannons therefore in future applications such as infantry cannons or laser cannons on light Vehicles it is unlikely that electromagnetic cannons will be used in the future some New Concept cannons including electromagnetic cannons laser cannons ion cannons Etc may be used in actual combat laser weapons are the most dazzling stars in the family of directed energy weapons and are important New Concept weapons that various countries are competing to develop it operates by emitting a directed laser beam at the target with a speed reaching up to 300,000 km/s meaning that aiming equates to hitting the target the laser beam utilizes high energy to instantly heat the target surface material to the point of softening melting vaporizing or even ionizing all while remaining completely silent currently the Paris V laser weapon developed by Russia can be used for air defense and missile defense particularly excelling encountering enemy drones the US Navy has also begun testing shipborne laser weapons and has successfully used them to shoot down a small drone in the field of individual combat blinding laser guns as a type of non-lethal laser light weapon can temporarily blind enemies wielding heavy weapons thereby changing the course of the battle the type 99 main battle tanks laser active protection system is housed in a square box on top of the turret equipped with a complex follow-up system that can move along with the commanders or Gunner's line of sight enabling detection and engagement using invisible high-powered laser beams to permanently damage Precision guided weapons or the optical and electronic sensitive components of enemy tanks on the latest generation 99 a main battle tank this laser active protection system has been further upgraded during the Mission 2014 joint anti-terrorism military exercise our side operating the 99a tank encountered three unexpected High Firepower concealed mobile targets the enemy tank on the left front was suppressed by laser and the missile was fired to annihilate the crew the laser suppression was quickly utilized to launch the missile completing the Blitz in 5 minutes and winning the exercise with zero battle damage however unlike the laser weapons in the sci-fi World currently operational laser weapons mostly emit invisible lasers due to technical limitations the power density of laser weapon output is relatively low unable to cause instant heavy damage to the Target continuous tracking and burning are required until the structural components or Optical and electronic sensitive components of the target are destroyed with the development of Technology the power density of laser weapons will continue to increase gradually advancing towards the capability to strike large missiles aircraft and incoming ammunition beside me is the 10,000 W vehicle mounted laser anti-drone weapon system making its debut at this air show in terms of appearance compared to traditional laser weapons it is much smaller in size utilizing a highly mobile chassis with the laser weapon system mounted on top it has a high degree of modularity employing a composite detection method that includes detection tracking radio interference and Laser interception primarily targeting low slow and small drones its features include good stealth capabilities and strong Mobility we have used independently mastered laser integration and Laser core Technologies to integrate our laser platform into a small platform reducing its size and design cost accordingly additionally one of its advantages is its excellent concealment on Modern battlefields it has strong pen ation capabilities and very good efficiency in future Diversified Wars drone Warfare will become increasingly prevalent the struggle between laser weapons and anti-drone weapons Against drones will continue to exist laser weapons are a future development Trend involving increasingly Diversified tasks Humanity constantly fantasizes about possessing the mysterious and immensely powerful energy of nuclear fusion in fact this groundbreaking Frontier technology of nuclear fusion is continuously being overcome this gigantic device is the controlled nuclear fusion experimental device the China circulator number 2A also known as the artificial sun it occupies hundreds of square meters with various pipes coils wires and cabinets filling the entire device Hall this machine is our country's first large scale Tac device with a diverter configuration creating multiple Milestone achievements in the history of China's magnetic confinement nuclear fusion since its completion in 2002 the China circulator number 2A device has discharged over 37,000 times with the current consistently operating between 100 Kil and 450 kilo nowadays nuclear fusion technology is continuously making breakthroughs overall our Chinese Fusion team is in the leading Echelon intern nationally in most fields we have achieved parallel progress in some fields we have achieved a leading position with the construction and operation of our new generation artificial sun we can conduct related experimental research on a larger platform with higher parameters we are now at a very critical stage which is the experimental reactor stage additionally we still need to overcome issues related to materials and fuel Cy one by one we anticipate that by the Centenary of the founding of New China Fusion Energy will be accessible to every household by that time our Mountains will be greener our waterers clearer and our beautiful China will have greatly benefited from Fusion Energy currently our country's unmanned boat technology has made significant leaps forward some unmanned boats can autonomously perform tasks such as Patrol reconnaissance detection and and rescue having entered a stage where scientific research and practical application run in parallel this is the first footage of our country's first fully domestically produced 100 ton unmanned boat conducting its first autonomous sea Voyage test this unman boat adopts a trimaran stealth design and its successful test marks a new breakthrough in our country's unmanned boat autonomous navigation and intelligent cabin technology this Fleet consisting of 56 unmanned boats completed multiple tests including formation maintenance autonomous formation change Dynamic task allocation coordinated obstacle avoidance and fall tolerant control demonstrating the potential of unmanned boats for autonomous navigation and Fleet control at the 13th China air show in 2021 yunjo intelligence publicly released for the first time the core technological achievements of unmanned boat cluster control demonstrating the practical application of high-speed unmanned boat Dynamic collaborative gain technology the demonstration showcased the process of high-speed unmanned boat clusters collaboratively encircling intercepting and driving away unidentified mobile targets at Sea a highlight of the unmanned boat cluster is its decentralized capability where the entire cluster does not require a unified command each boat operates as an individual with autonomous thinking they share situational awareness and make joint decisions enhancing their ability to handle complex situations by combining intelligent unmanned technology with bionic technology intelligent bionic robots were born in early 2022 the third Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation independently developed an underwater intelligent bionic robot the world's first bionic whale shark has made its debut this whale shark measuring 4.7 m in length and weighing 350 kg is ident IAL to a real whale shark it can highly simulate various underwater movements of a real whale shark such as StraightLine swimming turning ascending descending hovering and opening and closing its mouth it has advantages such as easy operation High reliability modularity Energy Efficiency and environmental friendliness and it can be manually controlled it can also swim autonomously underwater this indicates that our countryes intelligent underwater submersibles combined with bionic technology have achieved a breakthrough in addition to the bionic whale shark multiple other products such as the bionic golden dragon fish bionic killer whale and bionic Yi finless porpus have also been successfully developed these developments continue to promote the Deep integration of marine bionic technology and intelligence systems all right refining Warfare see you next time foree [Music]
