The new Chinese drones can be frightening tools.






"Scientists have addressed most of the technical challenges related to the new laser drone. "(Representational image) (InterestingEngineering, China: Drones equipped with new tech to emit metal-cutting laser beams)

The new Chinse nasty drone creates metal-cutting laser beams. That kind of drone can be a real game changer in the military and civil work. The metal-cutting lasers can destroy many targets. But they can also used in civil work like cutting metals in demolition sites. Those drones can also bulldoze the metals away from the accident zone. 

But as we know. Metal-cutting drones are multi-use equipment. The same drone can cut the cannon tubes. Aim their metal-cutting lasers at ammunition dumps or communication antennas. They can cut airplane wings and cut power lines. Those drones are perfect tools for assassination missions. High-power carbon monoxide lasers are dangerous tools in the wrong hands.

In December 2023 and July 2024. The Chinese top secret miniature shuttle Shenlong released so-called wingman objects. Those objects can be the transportation and return tanks for quadcopters that can make many missions on the battlefield and other missions. The satellite-controlled quadcopters can be released into the atmosphere and then the return capsule releases those quadcopters at the right altitude. 


The Chinese shuttle orbiter can drop those drones to operational areas. It's possible. The small silent or passive objects near the Chinese miniature shuttle were the transportation capsules for those quadcopters. The nuclear isotope batteries make those drones capable even of intercontinental operations. A radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) is a tool that gives those drones even years of operational ability. And that gives those drones the capacity to travel all around the Earth. 

The power of those lasers can be enormous. In comparison to their size, multiple drones aim their lasers at one point. The system can also use the lead ray. Which is more powerful than the laser rays that other drones transmit into it. 

That system works like crossing water flows. The more powerful laser ray pulls other laser rays with it. That thing means that the system that uses quite small lasers can create quite powerful laser beams by connecting multiple laser beams together. The system looks like a little bit of a Death Star's laser system. 

The metal-cutting drones can cut holes into the submarine's pressure hulls and they can make damage to rockets. The thing that makes those drones problematic is that they can also have a role in civil work. In some visions, the drones have 3D printing systems that can make metal structures. Lasers can used to melt metal wire for the system. 

And they can be used to finish the layers. It's possible that in the futuristic shipyards, those quadcopters can build even large-scale structures. The thing is that those laser drones are the tools that can operate even on other planets. The drone swarms with artificial intelligence can be used for many purposes. But. Those laser drones can be the tool that can destroy many high-priority targets.

How dangerous asteroid is?


"Recent research led by the University of Maryland using the Zwicky Transient Facility telescope has revealed that the Taurid swarm, a stream of space debris from the comet Encke, poses less of a threat than previously believed. Credit: SciTechDaily.com. " (ScitechDaily, How Dangerous Is the “Doomsday” Asteroid Swarm?)

Asteroid impacts are always dangerous. If the 10X10 m cosmic rock impacts the ground with the cosmic speed that can cause local damage. The local damage means that the city center can turn into a crater. And if a small asteroid hits the water, it can form a tsunami. The problem is that the small-size asteroids are detected at the last moment. The bigger, mountain-sie asteroids are easier to detect. 

But turning those asteroids away from their course is hard because of their large size. When a large-size asteroid hits the ground or water it is dust and vapor to the atmosphere. The asteroid also turns the atmosphere very hot in its trajectory. 

And if the angle of the incoming asteroid is low the friction raises the atmosphere's temperature in a long route. And that can cause even global forest fires. The steep trajectory makes it possible for the atmosphere to turn hotter in more limited areas. But the asteroid can fall to the bottom of the ocean. And make the hole to magma. That can cause a nuclear winter that can collapse our entire ecosystem. 

The impact of asteroids destroyed dinosaurs That thing means that the asteroid impacts are dangerous things. If some asteroid comes to impact course to Earth. And falls to some major city that destroys the city. 

However large groups of small meteorites or meteoroids could be dangerous. if a large number of quite small meteoroids that burn in the atmosphere impact Earth's atmosphere that thing can form a case, that those small particles can raise the atmosphere temperature. Theoretically, that kind of meteoroid fall can raise the Earth's atmosphere temperature so high, that things like forests start to burn. The meteoroids can be as devastating as larger asteroids. But the requirement is that there are lots of meteoroids.
