According to Malaysian media reports on October 24, Malaysian Defense Minister Sabu visited the CSIC Wushu Company in Wuhan, China, and attended the groundbreaking ceremony of the second "Low Sea Mission Ship (LMS)" and observed this year. According to the agreement reached between Malaysia and China, Ma Haijun will purchase four Bohai mission ships from China for US$72 million in the future, and may purchase 14 more in the future. Ship.

According to reports, the Malaysian Defense Minister revealed that the first two Bohai mission ships will be built in Wuhan, and then China will transfer the technology, and Malaysia will continue to build ships No. 3 and No. 4 in the country. Malaysian Navy Commander Kamaru Zahman said that the Malaysian Navy hopes to have 18 Bohai mission ships. He said that although the warship is small, it has stealth combat capability and is capable of fighting larger warships. It is expected to be 2019. By 2020, China will deliver the Bohai Mission Ship to Malaysia.

Malaysian military experts said that the Bohai mission ship is very suitable for the current needs of the Malaysian Navy. It is a multi-purpose, fast combat patrol boat that is more flexible and more maneuverable than other similar warships. With the construction of warships, Malaysia’s domestic shipbuilding capabilities can also be greatly improved.

前段时间,中国研制中的多型核动力船舶惊艳亮相,比如中国首艘核动力破冰综合保障船、浮动核电站等。最近这些核动力船舶家族又要增添新成员了!
据报道,中船重工继去年12月在上海国际海事展推出4型核动力船舶之后,在10月24日召开的第十三届大连国际海事展上又推出了核动力综合保障船和核动力疏浚船。

8月23日和8月27日,网络上相继曝出了中国第三艘航空母舰的工程进展和第四艘航空母舰已经开工的爆料。此次爆料中出现的,在大连建造的中国第四艘航空母舰——也很有可能是第一艘核动力航空母舰,我们在此前的《出鞘:从00X航母效果图看中国核动力航母规划》中已经有过简单的评述。而本期《出鞘》我们想简单谈一谈,未来很有可能在核动力航空母舰的建造和使用领域追赶中国的国家,日本。(查看完整内容搜索微信公众号:sinamilnews)


等等,核动力疏浚船是什么东东啊?
所谓的疏浚船,其实就是大家常说的挖泥船,一般用于将江河航道中的泥沙清除,以加深航道水深,防止航道被淤泥阻塞。后来,疏浚船又在各种大型港口建设作业中发挥了重要的作用。

据报道,中国年疏浚量超过10亿立方米 ,是少数几个掌握疏浚前沿技术、能够自主开展大规模吹填造陆和航道疏浚工程的国家之一,也是目前世界第一疏浚大国。
而这次展出的核动力疏浚船,更是将成为世界首屈一指的“造岛神器”!可以长年在海上进行吹填造陆工作,甚至可以给作业区提供源源不断的电力保障!

此外,在大连还展出了一艘核动力综合保障船的模型。
这艘综合保障船可不仅仅是一艘补给舰,该船拥有一个船坞、4台起重机和2个补给门桥,船艏有一个直升机平台,不但能够为舰船航行进行补给,还能够起到战场坞修的能力,是一艘能够移动的浮船坞。如果战场上有船舶受损,可以进入这艘保障船的船坞进行维修,这可是世界上从来没有的设计。

Some time ago, China's multi-type nuclear-powered ships were unveiled, such as China's first nuclear-powered ice-breaking comprehensive support ship and floating nuclear power plants. Recently, these nuclear power ship families have to add new members!

According to reports, after the launch of the Type 4 nuclear-powered ship at the Shanghai International Maritime Exhibition in December last year, CSIC launched the nuclear power comprehensive support ship and nuclear power at the 13th Dalian International Maritime Exhibition held on October 24. Dredging boat.

On August 23rd and August 27th, the progress of the construction of China's third aircraft carrier and the breaking of the fourth aircraft carrier have been exposed on the network. The fourth Chinese aircraft carrier built in Dalian, which was built in Dalian, is also likely to be the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. We have previously taken out the sheath: Looking at China's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier plan from the 00X aircraft carrier renderings. There have been simple comments in it. In this issue of "Sheathing", we would like to talk briefly about the future, and it is very likely that the country will catch up with China in the construction and use of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the future, Japan.

Wait, what is the nuclear power dredging ship?

The so-called dredging ship is actually a dredger that everyone often says. It is generally used to remove the sediment in the river channel to deepen the water depth of the channel and prevent the channel from being blocked by m&d. Later, dredging vessels played an important role in the construction of various large ports.

Photo: At present, China's largest "Scorpio" dredging ship.

At present, the largest dredging vessels in China are the "Tian Whale" and the "Tianlu". They are all self-propelled cutter suction dredgers. They are also a weapon for blowing sand and reclamation! For example, the “Tian Whale” can discharge the mixture of sea sand and sea water up to 6,000 meters away at a speed of 4,500 cubic meters per hour during the filling operation. The "Scorpio" can reach a maximum depth of 35 meters, and can transport sea sand, rock and seawater mixture to a maximum of 15,000 meters at a speed of 6000 cubic meters per hour, which is even more powerful!

Photo: The “Tian Whale” in the operation of the island reef is called “Map Editor” and “Transporter of Nature”!

According to reports, China's annual dredging volume exceeds 1 billion cubic meters. It is one of the few countries that has mastered the frontier technology of dredging and can carry out large-scale landfilling and waterway dredging projects autonomously. It is also the world's largest dredging country.

The nuclear-powered dredging vessel exhibited this time will become the world's leading "island artifact"! It can carry out landfilling and land-building work at sea for many years, and can even provide continuous power protection for the operation area!

Photo: Domestic nuclear power dredging ship model.

In addition, a model of a nuclear power integrated support vessel was also exhibited in Dalian.

This integrated support vessel is more than just a supply ship. It has a dock, 4 cranes and 2 supply gate bridges. The ship has a helicopter platform that can not only replenish the ship's navigation but also serve as a battlefield. The ability to repair the dock is a floating dock that can move. If there is damage to the ship on the battlefield, you can enter the dock of the support ship for repairs, which is a design that has never been seen in the world.

Photo: Domestic nuclear power comprehensive support has a big dock behind the hull!

For example, in the Battle of Inama Island, the Sheffield missile destroyer was hit by a "flying fish" missile. Since there was no floating dock in the sea and the fleet, the British watched the Sheffield slowly sinking.

And if there is a nuclear power comprehensive support ship in China, then those injured ships can enter the dock to carry out plugging and maintenance, and even restore combat power! (Author's signature: Rainbow Photo Kursk)

Now they don't even need to pump fuel any more. Nuke reactor on board can have life-time energy supply.

Make island in any sea.

Make sea by cutting way any land.

China is god.
 
在电磁线圈炮方面,我国已成功完成利用其原理的电磁手枪,电磁防暴枪的原型研究,初步试验证明,可大幅降低单兵武器的噪音和后坐力,有着较好的发展前景。

In the field of electromagnetic coil guns, China has successfully completed the prototype of the electromagnetic pistol and electromagnetic riot gun using its principle. The preliminary test proves that the individual weapon can be greatly reduced. The noise and recoil have a good development prospect.


So Chinese already have got electromagnetic rail gun's hand-held version, can be used for anti-riots.

Ang Moh can catch up ah?

China invents strongest fibre that can haul 160 elephants, maybe even a space elevator
strongest_fibre_-_wei_fei_via_scmp.jpg
Wei Fei via South China Morning PostThese carbon nanotubes have the highest known tensile strength of any material - theoretically up to 300 gigapascals.
Published26 OCTOBER, 2018
UPDATED 26 OCTOBER, 2018
HONG KONG — A research team from Tsinghua University in Beijing has developed a fibre they say is so strong it could even be used to build an elevator to space.
They say just 1 cubic centimetre of the fibre - made from carbon nanotube - would not break under the weight of 160 elephants, or more than 800 tonnes. And that tiny piece of cable would weigh just 1.6 grams.

inRead invented by Teads
"This is a breakthrough," said Mr Wang Changqing, a scientist at a key space elevator research centre at Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xian who was not involved in the Tsinghua study.
The Chinese team has developed a new "ultralong" fibre from carbon nanotube that they say is stronger than anything seen before, patenting the technology and publishing part of their research in the journal Nature Nanotechnology earlier this year.

"It is evident that the tensile strength of carbon nanotube bundles is at least nine to 45 times that of other materials," the team said in the paper.
They said the material would be "in great demand in many high-end fields such as sports equipment, ballistic armour, aeronautics, astronautics and even space elevators".
Science fiction?
The idea of building a lift that could travel from the Earth into space may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but it has been around for more than a century, and scientists have come up with various designs in recent decades.
One of them involves sending a large satellite into geostationary orbit that would lower a cable to the ground, where it would be anchored, and send another cable in the opposite direction, attached to a counterweight.
The theory is that the lift would be suspended between two cables - pulled taut by gravity and centrifugal force, and rotating with the Earth, like a weight on a piece of string being swung around in circles.
But so far, the space elevator idea has remained in the realm of physical and mathematical models because there has been no material strong enough to make the super-light, ultra-strong cables needed.
Those cables would need to have tensile strength - to withstand stretching - of no less than seven gigapascals, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
In fact, the US space agency launched a global competition in 2005 to develop such a material, with a US$2 million (S$2.77 million) prize attached. No one claimed the prize.
This could be a game changer in many sectors
Now, the Tsinghua team, led by Mr Wei Fei, a professor with the Department of Chemical Engineering, says their latest carbon nanotube fibre has tensile strength of 80 gigapascals.
Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical molecules made up of carbon atoms that are linked in hexagonal shapes with diameters as small as 1 nanometre.
They have the highest known tensile strength of any material - theoretically up to 300 gigapascals.
But for practical purposes, these carbon nanotubes must be bonded together in cable form, a process which is difficult and can affect the overall strength of the final product.
According to Mr Wang, the space lift researcher, the transport system would need more than 30,000km of cable, and it would also need other structures such as a rail and a shield to protect against space debris and other environmental hazards.
"If the cable is not strong enough, it would not even be able to support its own weight. Until now, there has been no material tough enough to do the job," said Mr Wang, deputy executive director of the China-Russia International Space Tether System Research Centre.
Requirements for cable strength vary according to the space lift design. Mr Wang said the carbon nanotube fibre appeared to be the most promising candidate for now, but more calculations and simulation were needed to evaluate how it would perform.
"The tether is one big problem, but it is not the only problem," he added.
Chinese and Russian space scientists, for instance, are working together to find a safe, effective way to lower a fine, feather-light cable from a high-altitude orbit to the ground.
Re-entry to the atmosphere can produce a lot of heat that could burn the cable, while the counterweight may need to be as large as an asteroid to keep the line straight.
The scale and complexity of such a project would dwarf the International Space Station, according to Mr Wang.
But countries including China, the United States, Russia and Japan continue to support the research. So-called space tether technology has the potential to be used for military purposes, including capturing "non-cooperative targets" including enemy satellites.
Japan launched two satellites last month in an experiment to study elevator movement in space - the first time this has been done - involving a mini-lift travelling along a cable from one satellite to another.
It has yet to report the results of the experiment. China has also conducted space tethering tests but the details were classified.
While a lift to space could still be many years away, Prof Wei said his team was trying to get the carbon nanotube fibre into mass production for use in defence or other areas.
"This could be a game changer in many sectors," he said.
Prof Wei gave the example of superfast flywheels in a mechanical battery - where the flywheel stores energy in a rotating mass, lifted by magnetic levitation in a vacuum chamber. The lighter and stronger the material, the faster it spins.
Using carbon nanotube flywheels, the mechanical battery would have 40 times the energy density of a lithium battery, according to Prof Wei. That would mean a car like a Tesla Model S could travel for 16,000km in one charge - the distance from London to Sydney.
But the technology is likely to be used for military purposes first, Prof Wei said.
"Many new weapon systems such as rail guns and laser cannons require high performance power storage and supply systems, and our technology offers a possible solution," he said.
Mr Song Liwei, who studies mechanical batteries at the Harbin Institute of Technology in Heilongjiang, said if the carbon nanotube fibre could be mass-produced and if it significantly increased the energy density of mechanical batteries, it "would kill fossil fuel engines".
"But the flywheels can be as big as a barrel, and the fibre would need to be several kilometres long to make a battery," he said. "There is still a long way to go." SOUTH CHINA MORNING POST

Science stunt aborted after 15 hours because plants couldn’t save a man from himself

Mike Wehner
BGR News25 October 2018, 6:56 PM GMT
dqtarlou4aai66d.jpg

Raising awareness about climate change and mankind’s impact on the Earth is a noble cause, and there’s plenty of ways to go about it. Locking yourself in a plastic box with a bunch of plants is, well, apparently not the best option, and one Canadian man found that out this week when he was forced to abort a planned three-day stay in a homemade plastic enclosure when CO2 levels reached dangerous levels.
Kurtis Baute, who describes himself as a “whimsical scientist,” entered his homemade plastic cube on Tuesday, planning to remain inside for three days. The idea was that the approximately 200 plants that he placed inside the enclosure would be enough to filter out his CO2 output and allow him to breathe easy during his stay.

Things didn’t work out that way.

Don't Miss: The wireless charger that should have come in the box with your phone is only $4.99 today
Roughly 15 hours after entering the cube, Baute was forced to exit. CO2 levels being tracked inside had reached the “abort” level, according to a report from the BBC, and the stunt came to an abrupt end.
But why didn’t it work as planned? In hindsight, Baute realized that the cloudy skies were limiting the ability of the plants to perform photosynthesis, the process by which they convert CO2 into breathable oxygen. With no sun shining down, the cube gradually filled with more and more CO2 because the plants couldn’t do anything with it.
“Plants are great at soaking up CO2, they love the stuff,” Baute said in a tweet. “But they can only handle so much, and since it isn’t a bright and sunny day (its overcast) they aren’t getting the light they need… Which means CO2 just keeps rising.”
Ultimately the experiment came to a disappointing end, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good reminder of the plight humans will face if we can’t keep emissions under control. Gradual worldwide temperature increases are already stressing plants out, and if we reach a point (and we likely will soon) where Earth’s flora just can’t take it anymore we might be left struggling to breath just like Baute was in his plastic cube.

Chinese scientists have harvested alkali-resistant ‘sea rice’ planted in east China’s Shandong Province, marking initial success of an ambitious plan to boost the country’s rice production and feed an additional 80 million people.
The new type of rice, successfully harvested by a group of scientists in the seaside city of Qingdao, eastern China, was revealed a year ago. Sea rice that is able to grow in tidal flats or saline-alkali land was developed by crossbreeding different varieties of rice.

“If there are natural disasters, as China has a large population, it's difficult to rely on importing food from abroad as there are logistical barriers. If the Chinese go hungry because of crop failures caused by natural disasters, there will be social unrest and destabilizing factors for the world,” Deputy Director of Qingdao Sea Rice R&D Centre Guodong Zhang told RT's Ruptly video news agency.
According to the scientist, turning barren land into fertile farmland will enable China to feed the entire country and will therefore be beneficial to peace and stability.
“Wheat and rice are the staple food of the Chinese people, and 60 percent of them depend on rice,” he said.
“With the joint efforts of our team and the whole of society, more than 65,000 square kilometers of salt and alkali land will be transformed in China,” the deputy director said.
“That can increase food by 30 billion kilograms based on the calculation of at least 300 kilograms per 667 square meters. This can support an additional 80 million people in China.”
Earlier this year, the research team successfully grew and harvested the salt-resistant rice in a Dubai desert.

原标题:[解局]北京香山论坛上的一场隐形交锋
来源:侠客岛
10月25-26日,第八届北京香山论坛举行。
作为国内最重要的军事和防务论坛之一,可看的点自然很多。比如,论坛首次被冠以“北京”两字,有67个国家和7个国际组织的官方代表参加,是历届规格最高;再比如,朝鲜人民武力省副相金亨龙参会并发表了近两千字的演讲,受到了媒体广泛的关注;塞尔维亚防长怒斥西方国家,“那些导致了‘阿拉伯之春’的国家自己没有接受难民,却要求我们接受难民,这是不公平的”,同样引得一片叫好声。
不过,虽然本次香山论坛的气氛总体比较友好,但或明或暗,南海问题依然是一个焦点。特别是一些外方代表公开或私下认为,南海局势的紧张是因为中国岛礁建设和军事部署造成的。
对此,在前天论坛正式开幕之前的青年学者研讨会上,大家熟悉的岛叔、北京大学海洋战略中心执行主任胡波就怒怼回去,“中美在南海议题上的分歧是需要通过协商解决。不过,如果以后中美能有高端战略对话,我希望双方都能保持真正的坦承,不要总搞一些fake news,比如什么中国要控制南海这样的鬼话……”
不可否认,今年以来,中美双方在南海问题上的交锋,无论是在频率还是力度上,都异于往常。在此情况之下,是否存在“擦枪走火”的可能性?中国面对美方的一再挑衅,有何应对之策?趁着这次论坛,侠客岛专访了胡波岛叔,一起来看:
FA4L-hmxrkzx4938036.jpg
胡波岛叔
1。 侠客岛:近期南海问题不断升温,中美双方调门也在不断调高。就在这两天,美军还放出消息,称将于下个月派军舰在台湾海峡以及南海一带进行所谓的“展示武力的军事行动”;昨天早上,国防部长魏凤和的讲话也很强硬,说南海诸岛一寸都不能丢。您如何看待近期在南海问题上,中美两国行动的升级?
胡波:总体来看,中国的表现so far so good,显示了一个负责任的大国在军事动作上的严谨和克制。但是反观美方,作为一个域外大国,却不断升级在南海的军事行动,甚至叫嚣要武力解决,使形势变得非常不乐观。
目前南海发生冲突的可能性要高于台海。美国当前在台湾的动作更多是战略和外交上的,因为美国非常清楚,如果在台海爆发与中国的冲突,美国的胜算并不大;而在南海,美国认为,中国尚处于将强未强之时,其军事行动的自由度和弹性要大很多
当然,还一个背景是,美国近些年将南海问题上纲上线,强调南海对于美国亚太战略和海上战略的枢纽价值。面对中国在南海日益增长的力量,美国感到自身优势正在削弱,战略界精英对此感到极为焦虑。
在行动方面表现得更为明显。美国早已经将印太军事斗争的重点转移到了南海。粗略估计,南海的行动几乎已经消耗了美军西太前沿兵力的60%;美军舰机每年闯入中国南海岛礁12海里内多达10余次,对中国岛礁和海岸抵近侦察上千次,在南海演习上百次。近一二年,各种战场建设和战争演练更是如火如荼。和美军这些动作相比,中国在南海的军事行为堪称专业、克制和文明之典范。
不过,美国对自己在南海的行动语焉不详,通常泛泛强调美军二战以来就在南海保持着力量存在,有权利在包括南海在内的世界海域自由进入。以至于美国国内大部分人,包括许多专家学者都不太清楚美军近两年在南海的冒险行动,还误以为美军是“正义文明”之师。
与此同时,美国却又在“放大镜”下,对中国在南海的合理军事行动和部署大书特书,不辞辛劳地发布中国岛礁上哪怕是一枪一弹的细微变化。今年8月,特朗普签署了2019年的《国防授权法案》,要求美国国防部定期提交针对中国南海行为的报告,这将进一步混淆是非,误导其国内民众和国际社会。

2。 侠客岛:不独美国,近年来美国的盟友在南海也有诸多“挑衅”。前段时间,《金融时报》报道,英国第一海务大臣琼斯表示,英国将继续赴南海行使“航行自由”,您怎么看?
胡波
:英国的加入,从某种意义上来说,有“凑热闹”的嫌疑,其象征意义大于实际意义。毕竟,皇家海军青黄不接,规模大幅缩水,尚不及中国一个南海舰队,其实力衰退是不争的事实。事实上,英国人也清楚自己在南海根本改变不了任何事情。其直接目的,一是回应国内外皇家海军“尚能饭否”的质疑,扩大存在感,二是响应美国大哥联合巡航的期待。
当然,日本和澳大利亚对南海问题格外上心,还有其他特殊的逻辑,此处按下不表。
这些国家在南海凑热闹的一个共同特征是,背后都有美国的影子。
为什么这么说?
因为尽管近年来美国在国防建设上的投入连年增加,尤其是2019年的国防预算更是历史性地达7160亿美元,但是如前面所说,美国并不满足于其目前在南海及周边区域的军事力量,尤其对中国迅猛发展的现代化军事感到非常不安。为此,美国不仅自己极力加大在南海及周边地区的军力部署,也打起了“薅”盟友羊毛的心思,撺掇盟友及伙伴做出更大贡献,力图维系甚至扩大中国军队与其的差距,保持海上主导地位。

3。 侠客岛:说到“航行自由”,目前中美南海摩擦主要就是围绕它展开的,国际社会对这个概念的理解也有很多不同,您能不能跟我们具体解释一下它的标准和渊源?
胡波:目前,领海内的航行规则,国际上主要有两种通行的做法:一种是他国军舰可以无须报批,在己方的领海内进行无害通过;另一种是需要批准或通报,国际上至少有30个以上的国家明确采用这种方式。其中,美英等国采用第一种规则,而中国采用的是第二种。
一直以来,由于英美在舆论攻势上比较猛,所以看似他们的主张更普遍,但其实,这两种选择是需要依据自身国情况、国际法和国际惯例的,两者并不存在优劣之分,也不存在一种规则比另一种规则更符合国际法的说法。
具体到南海,中国政府早在1996年5月,就根据《中华人民共和国领海及毗连区法》公布了西沙群岛的领海基线,进入中国海域自然要遵照中国的法律行事。在南沙群岛,尽管中国并没有划分领海基线,但并不代表没有领海。而美国政府也认为,南海的部分岛礁确定无疑地拥有12海里领海。在中国控制岛礁的12海里之内炫耀武力,甚至采取针对岛礁的刺激性行动,这不仅有损中国的主权,还严重危及到中国驻岛官兵和民众的人身安全。
而所谓的航行自由问题在南海根本不存在,在岛礁12海里或领海基线以外,美国没有任何证据表明中国妨碍了航行自由;而中国在岛礁12海里临近海域或领海的行动,主要是针对美军的挑衅行为,依据包括《联合国海洋法公约》在内的国际法,而采取的正当合理的反制措施,目的是维护中国的主权、主权权益以及军事平台与人员的安全。
事实上,退一步说,从历史上来看,“航行自由行动”本就是美国在1982年的《联合国海洋法公约》签署之前“捣腾”出来的,其目的就是在公约之外建立另一套规则,以确保美国进入全球海域的自由和军事利益,遏制对其海洋利益有威胁的所谓“过度的海洋主张”(excessive maritime claims)。
0ql_-hmxrkzx4938500.jpg

4。 侠客岛:如何看待美国为自己辩驳称,此举不针对中国,他们同样在其他国家搞“航行自由”?
胡波:这话确实是他们常说的,也是事实,但是要知道,美国在其他区域的“航行自由行动”与在南海的“航行自由行动”,其频率和烈度都是不可相提并论的。可以说,即便按照美军自己的操典和传统,美军在南海的航行自由行动都显得越来越不专业和危险。
最为关键的是,这些行动多数不再遵循“无害通过”原则,更不是所谓的“自由航行”,而是大搞落水演习、高速机动、舰载机起飞等赤裸裸的挑衅动作。哪怕是在无可争议的西沙岛礁领海范围内,美军也有过“之”字形机动、电子对抗等挑衅性行动,给中国的岛礁主权和中国岛礁上的公民安全构成了巨大的威胁。
t-XU-hmxrkzx4938525.jpg
美军所谓的“航行自由”
5。侠客岛:目前的局势持续加码,未来是否有发生局部、小范围摩擦的可能?应该如何应对日益紧张的趋势?
胡波:现在比较棘手的是,南海“航行自由”问题是个假问题,其本质是美国日益对中国南海力量增长的不适应,背后反映的是地缘政治竞争的图谋。
以前中国南海军事存在比较薄弱的时候,美国居于主导地位,但是现在中国实力变得更加强盛,美国对南海的海洋控制变得有些力不从心,甚至于,未来将不得不与中国分享权力,这就导致了美国对中国的高度警惕和强烈抵制。

更为重要的是,从目前美国军方的态度看,不少官员是有将战争作为备选项打算的。美军现任印太总部司令菲利普·戴维森就曾多次说过,“除了战争之外,已经没有手段可以阻止中国控制南海”。这一点,需要引起我们的高度重视。
此外,美国南海政策容易给人迷惑的是,“心里想的都是生意,嘴上谈的却都是主义”,所谓的航行自由和地区秩序问题,很大程度上是对赤裸裸权力竞争的包装。
应该说,只要中国军事和科技实力一直在上升,这种大国间的摩擦就不可避免。但是这种摩擦并不一定就会导致冲突,这取决于双方特别是美国有无妥协的智慧和勇气。
目前情况是,中国一直都做好了对话和战斗的准备,但美国一方面有些低估中国捍卫主权和主权权益的意志和决心,另一方面显得过于傲慢,还没有做好与做好与中国围绕真问题进行对话的准备

Greedy and profit-seeking districts: Why did the British-French joint fleet come to Asia-Pacific to feel the presence? 1/25

On June 5 this year, the domestic media quoted Hong Kong's "South China Morning Post" as saying that French Defense Minister Paley said at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on the 3rd that French and British warships will jointly implement "Freedom of Navigation" in the South China Sea this week. ". The British "Daily Telegraph" also quoted the British Defense Minister Williamson's statement that the United Kingdom will send three warships to the South China Sea, proclaiming the so-called "freedom of navigation." The British and French so sing and reminiscent of the history of the British and French coalition forces. Why did Britain and France once again form a team to smash the South China Sea, how can China respond? In this issue, you will pay attention to the British and French forces in the South China Sea.

Original title: [Solution] An invisible confrontation on the Beijing Xiangshan Forum

Source: Knight Island

On October 25-26, the 8th Beijing Xiangshan Forum was held.

As one of the most important military and defense forums in the country, there are many points to look at. For example, for the first time, the forum was labeled "Beijing", with the participation of official representatives from 67 countries and 7 international organizations. It is the highest in previous years. For example, the Deputy Minister of the Korean People's Armed Forces, Jin Henglong, attended and published nearly two thousand. The speech of the word has received extensive media attention; the Serbian Defense Minister has angered the Western countries. "Those countries that have led to the 'Arab Spring' have not accepted the refugees themselves, but have asked us to accept the refugees. This is unfair." Call it well.

However, although the atmosphere of the Xiangshan Forum is generally friendly, but it is either clear or dark, the South China Sea issue remains a focus. In particular, some foreign representatives publicly or privately believe that the tension in the South China Sea situation is caused by the construction of Chinese islands and reefs and military deployment.

In this regard, at the seminar of young scholars before the official opening of the forum, the well-known island uncle, Hu Bo, executive director of the Ocean Strategy Center of Peking University, roared back. "The differences between China and the United States on the South China Sea issue need to be resolved through consultation. However, if China and the United States can have a high-end strategic dialogue in the future, I hope that both sides can maintain a true confession. Do not always engage in some fake news, such as what China wants to control such a ghost in the South China Sea..."

It is undeniable that since the beginning of this year, the confrontation between China and the United States on the South China Sea issue has been different from usual in both frequency and intensity. Under this circumstance, is there a possibility of "fire-fighting"? What are the countermeasures for China to face the repeated challenges of the US? Taking advantage of this forum, Xia Kedao interviewed Hu Bodao, and came together to see:
Hubo Island Uncle Hubo Island

1. Chivalrous Island: The South China Sea issue has been heating up recently, and the adjustment of the Chinese and American sides is also constantly increasing. In the past two days, the US military also released news that it will send warships in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea next month to conduct so-called "military operations to demonstrate force." Yesterday morning, Defense Minister Wei Fenghe’s speech was also very tough, said the South China Sea. All the islands can't be lost. How do you view the recent escalation of the actions of China and the United States on the South China Sea issue?

Hu Bo: On the whole, China’s performance is so far so good, showing the rigor and restraint of a responsible big country in military action. However, in contrast, the US side, as a large foreign country, has continuously upgraded its military operations in the South China Sea, and even called for military solutions to make the situation very unoptimistic.

At present, the possibility of conflict in the South China Sea is higher than that of the Taiwan Strait. The current US actions in Taiwan are more strategic and diplomatic, because the United States is very clear that if there is a conflict with China in the Taiwan Strait, the US’s chances of winning are not large. In the South China Sea, the United States believes that China is still strong. At that time, the degree of freedom and flexibility of its military operations was much greater.

Of course, one background is that the United States has put the South China Sea issue on the line in recent years, emphasizing the value of the South China Sea for the US Asia-Pacific strategy and maritime strategy. In the face of China's growing power in the South China Sea, the United States feels that its own advantages are weakening, and the strategic elite is extremely anxious about this.

It is more obvious in terms of action. The United States has already shifted the focus of the Indian military struggle to the South China Sea. Roughly estimated, the actions of the South China Sea have almost consumed 60% of the US military's West Frontier forces; the US warships broke into the 12-nautical mile of China's southern island reefs as many as 10 times a year, and approached the Chinese islands and reefs and the coast for thousands of times. In the South China Sea exercises hundreds of times. In the past one or two years, various battlefield constructions and war drills have been in full swing. Compared with these actions by the US military, China’s military behavior in the South China Sea is a model of professionalism, restraint and civilization.

However, the United States has no specific language about its actions in the South China Sea. It is generally emphasized that the US military has maintained its strength in the South China Sea since the Second World War and has the right to freely enter the world waters including the South China Sea. As a result, most people in the United States, including many experts and scholars, are not sure about the US military's adventurous actions in the South China Sea in the past two years. They also mistakenly believe that the US military is a "just civilized" division.

At the same time, under the "magnifying glass", the United States has made painstaking efforts to release even minor changes in China's island reefs against China's reasonable military operations in the South China Sea and the deployment of large books. In August of this year, Trump signed the 2019 "National Defense Authorization Act", requiring the US Department of Defense to regularly submit reports on China's South China Sea behavior, which will further confuse right and wrong, misleading its domestic people and the international community.

2. Chivalrous Island: Not only the United States, in recent years, American allies have many "provocations" in the South China Sea. Some time ago, the Financial Times reported that the British First Secretary of the Sea, Jones, said that Britain will continue to exercise "freedom of navigation" in the South China Sea. What do you think?

Hu Bo: The British participation, in a sense, has the suspicion of "joining the fun", its symbolic significance is greater than the actual meaning. After all, the Royal Navy is not connected, the scale has shrunk dramatically, and it is still not as good as a South China Sea Fleet. Its strength decline is an indisputable fact. In fact, the British also know that they can't change anything in the South China Sea. Its direct purpose is to respond to the questioning of the Royal Navy's "can still eat", to expand the sense of existence, and to respond to the expectation of the United States brother's joint cruise.

Of course, Japan and Australia are particularly concerned about the South China Sea issue, and there are other special logics that are not listed here.

A common feature of the enthusiasm of these countries in the South China Sea is that there is a shadow of the United States behind them.

Why do you say that?

Because although the US’s investment in national defense construction has increased year after year, especially the defense budget of 2019 is historically 716 billion US dollars, as mentioned above, the United States is not satisfied with its current presence in the South China Sea and surrounding areas. Military forces are particularly disturbed by China’s rapidly developing modern military. To this end, the United States not only strives to increase its military deployment in the South China Sea and its surrounding areas, but also plays the role of "薅" allies wool, and makes allies and partners make greater contributions in an effort to maintain and even expand the gap between the Chinese military and the Chinese army. Maintain a dominant position at sea.

3. Chivalrous Island: When it comes to "freedom of navigation", the current Sino-US South Sea friction is mainly around it. The international community has a lot of different understandings of this concept. Can you explain its standards and origins specifically to us?

Hu Bo: At present, there are mainly two common practices in the navigation rules in the territorial sea: one is that the warships of other countries can be passed without any approval, and they can be passed in the territorial sea of their own; the other is the need for approval or notification, international At least 30 countries have explicitly adopted this approach. Among them, the United States and Britain and other countries adopt the first rule, while China adopts the second.

For a long time, because Britain and the United States are more aggressive in public opinion, it seems that their claims are more common, but in fact, these two choices need to be based on their own country, international law and international practices. There is no difference between the two. There is also no saying that one rule is more in line with international law than another.

Specifically to the South China Sea, the Chinese government announced the baseline of the territorial seas of the Xisha Islands as early as May 1996 in accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Territorial Sea and Adjoining Areas. It is natural to follow the laws of China when entering the Chinese waters. In the Nansha Islands, although China does not divide the territorial sea baseline, it does not mean that there is no territorial waters. The US government also believes that some of the islands and reefs in the South China Sea definitely have 12 nautical miles of territorial waters. Showing off the force within 12 nautical miles of China's control of the island reef, and even taking stimulating actions against the island and reef, this not only undermines China's sovereignty, but also seriously endangers the personal safety of Chinese officers and soldiers on the island and the people.

The so-called freedom of navigation does not exist in the South China Sea. Outside the 12 nautical miles of the island or the baseline of the territorial sea, there is no evidence in the United States that China has impeded the freedom of navigation. The action of China in the vicinity of the sea or the territorial sea at 12 nautical miles is mainly aimed at The provocative actions of the US military, based on international law including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, take legitimate and reasonable countermeasures to safeguard China’s sovereignty, sovereign rights, and the security of military platforms and personnel.

In fact, to take a step back, historically, the "freedom of navigation" was originally "promulgated" by the United States before the signing of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, with the aim of establishing another set of rules outside the Convention. To ensure the freedom and military interests of the United States to enter the global seas, to curb the so-called "excessive maritime claims" that threaten its maritime interests.

4. Chivalrous Island: How do you think that the United States has argued for itself that this move does not target China, and that they also engage in "freedom of navigation" in other countries?

Hu Bo: This is indeed what they often say, and it is also a fact, but we must know that the frequency and intensity of the "freedom of navigation" of the United States in other regions and the "freedom of navigation" in the South China Sea are incomparable. It can be said that even in accordance with the US military's own code and tradition, the US military's freedom of navigation in the South China Sea is becoming more and more unprofessional and dangerous.

The most important thing is that most of these actions no longer follow the principle of “innocent passage”, not even the so-called “free navigation”, but rather the naked provocations such as the drowning exercises, high-speed maneuvers, and carrier-based aircraft taking off. Even within the undisputed territorial waters of the Xisha Island reef, the US military has also carried out provocative actions such as "Zigzag" maneuvering and electronic confrontation, posing a huge threat to China's island reef sovereignty and citizen security on China's island reefs.
The so-called "freedom of navigation" of the US military's so-called "freedom of navigation"

5. Chivalrous Island: The current situation continues to increase, is there a possibility of local and small-scale friction in the future? How should we deal with the increasingly tense trend?

Hu Bo: What is more difficult now is that the issue of "freedom of navigation" in the South China Sea is a false issue. Its essence is that the United States is increasingly unable to adapt to the growth of China's South China Sea. What is behind it is the plot of geopolitical competition.

When the military presence in the South China Sea was relatively weak, the United States was dominant, but now China’s strength has become more vigorous. The US’s control over the South China Sea has become somewhat incapable. Even in the future, it will have to share power with China, which leads to The United States is highly vigilant against China and strongly resists it.

More importantly, from the current attitude of the US military, many officials have planned to use war as an alternative. Philip Davidson, the current commander of the US military's current headquarters in India, has said many times that "in addition to war, there is no means to prevent China from controlling the South China Sea." This point needs to be highly valued by us.

In addition, the US South China Sea policy is easily confusing. "All the thoughts are business, but the words are all talked about." The so-called freedom of navigation and regional order are largely the packaging of naked power competition. .

It should be said that as long as China's military and scientific and technological strengths have been rising, the friction between such big powers is inevitable. But this kind of friction does not necessarily lead to conflict, depending on whether the two sides, especially the United States, have the wisdom and courage to compromise.

The current situation is that China has always been prepared for dialogue and fighting. However, on the one hand, the United States has underestimated China’s will and determination to defend its sovereignty and sovereign rights. On the other hand, it seems too arrogant and has not done well and done well with China. True questions are prepared for dialogue.

西北楼船烈焰中:从美舰穿台湾海峡看中国新反航母体系的建立1/5
查看原图图集模式
10月22日晚上,美国太平洋舰队发言人称两艘美国军舰稍早之前穿越了台湾海峡,并进一步表示,有多艘中国舰艇在“安全距离”上对美舰进行了监视。不仅是舰艇穿越台湾海峡,早前还有传闻称美军将于11月份在台湾海峡举行海上演习。从国际法的角度上来讲,台湾海峡属于中国专属经济区,美舰依法享有航行自由。但从现实情况考虑,美方此举背后的用意也是司马昭之心路人皆知。目前对于美方这些动作,中国方面舰机跟踪驱离的处理手段虽然“专业”,但实际对美军的“吓阻”作用并不算大。想要真正“吓阻”美军,我们还需要活用自身“独步天下”的反舰反航母体系。那么本期《出鞘》我们就来谈谈,中国应该如何利用自身的反舰体系应对美军的这些动作。(查看完整内容搜索微信公众号:sinamilnews)


[观察者网 综合报道]据香港中评社10月28日报道,美军专家警告,美国应该密切关注中国大陆对其“核心利益”发出的信号,努力让两岸紧张关系冷静下来。否则人们几乎随时可看到已有足够能力进行台海封锁的中国大陆宣布针对台湾设立“完全禁区”。
美国海军作战学院中国海事研究所研究教授金来尔(Lyle J。 Goldstein)25日在美国“国家利益”网站发表题为“大陆随时可能宣布‘完全禁区’”(China Could Announce a ‘Total Exclusion Zone’ at Any Time)的文章,发出上述警告。他声明,“这是他个人的观点,不代表美国军方或任何政府部门”。
金来尔指出,美国领导人和公众都需要对中国大陆战略家谈论台湾岛有所了解,这是华盛顿健全政策的先决条件。这些讨论经常暗中进行,却显示“晴天霹雳”的可能性或许不再遥远。他认为,中国大陆国防杂志《兵工科技》今年年中的两篇文章即可提供中国大陆对台战略思考的一瞥。
一篇是从历史战例谈“封锁”的重要性,即主张“以海军力量为主,在陆军、空军、战略火箭军、天军、网军配合下采取···多种手段控制一个海域”。虽然没有点名台湾,但意指何方已经相当清楚。
QL3t-hnaivxp6397509.jpg
解放军海军 美国国家利益网站图
另一篇谈解放军空军进行“绕岛巡航”行动。金来尔写道,过去两年里,这些涉及台湾东侧的空中任务据说给解放军空军人员提供了极好的经验,并且证明解放军空军的远程战斗能力已经改进。这篇文章虽然承认美国以及所有其他国家的军舰有权通过台湾海峡,但表示这种活动表明了美国“明显的政治和军事意图”。
谈到解放军对台可能的封锁行动,金来尔指出,在亚太地区等待中国大陆新轰炸机H-20的正式亮相之际,解放军空军似乎在起飞。“绕岛巡航”吸引了人们对于雄心勃勃的解放军海军以及它提升的蓝水能力的关注。
金来尔分析,台湾离中国大陆很近,只有100英里(约合160公里),所以“绕道巡航”的轰炸机不太可能在征服台湾方面扮演主要角色。解放军能力是由战略火箭部队的高度精确的导弹而变得强大,所以空军可能只在“扫荡”行动中发挥作用。如果火箭军的火力不够的话,解放军海军和其他部队已经储备了大量的对陆巡航导弹。此外还有一个有趣的事实,那就是中国大陆可以用毁灭性的火箭炮火力覆盖大部分相关着陆点——这是一种廉价而高效的摧毁方法。

金来尔更进一步指出,上述所有能力可能都是多余的,因为数万枚先进的水雷就足够了。他说,台湾人可能会想囤积大量罐头食品,并为庇护所浇上额外的混凝土;如果美中关系被允许继续当前的螺旋式下降,确实有比美国股票投资组合更令人担忧的事情。
最后金来尔表示,一位有想法的中国大陆战略家最近在一次会议上对他说,中国大陆并不擅长威慑,无论是在朝鲜战争还是中印战争中,中国大陆的威慑信号都被忽视而导致了战争。金来尔强调,美国应该密切关注中国对其“核心利益”发出的信号,努力让两岸紧张关系冷静下来。否则,我们几乎随时可看到中国大陆宣布针对台湾设立“完全的禁区”(total exclusion zone)。
国台办发言人马晓光10月17日表示,大陆和台湾同属一个中国,台湾是中国一部分的法理事实是任何人、任何势力都改变不了的。任何挟洋自重、升高对立,妄图破坏两岸关系,改变台湾地位的分裂图谋和行径,只能自取屈辱,绝不可能得逞。

In the flames of the northwestern building ship: Seeing the establishment of China's new anti-aircraft carrier system from the US ship wearing the Taiwan Strait 1/5
View the original map mode

On the evening of October 22, a spokesman for the US Pacific Fleet said that two US warships crossed the Taiwan Strait earlier, and further stated that many Chinese ships were monitoring the US ships at a "safe distance." Not only is the ship crossing the Taiwan Strait, but there have been rumors that the US military will hold a sea exercise in the Taiwan Strait in November. From the perspective of international law, the Taiwan Strait belongs to China's exclusive economic zone, and the US ship enjoys freedom of navigation according to law. However, considering the reality, the intention behind the US move is also known to Sima Zhao. At present, for the US actions, although the handling methods for tracking and disembarking the Chinese aircraft are "professional", the actual "deterrence" effect on the US military is not large. In order to truly "scare" the US military, we also need to use our own "one-step world" anti-ship anti-aircraft carrier system. So in this issue of "Sheathing", let's talk about how China should use its anti-ship system to deal with these actions of the US military. (View full content search WeChat public number: sinamilnews)

[Observer Network] According to a report by the Hong Kong China Rating and Comment Institute on October 28, US military experts warned that the United States should pay close attention to the signals sent by mainland China to its "core interests" and work hard to calm the tension between the two sides. Otherwise, people can almost always see that China, which has sufficient capacity to carry out the blockade of the Taiwan Strait, has announced the establishment of a "completely restricted zone" for Taiwan.

Lyle J. Goldstein, research professor at the China Maritime Institute of the US Naval Warfare Academy, published on the US "National Interests" website on the 25th, "The mainland may announce a 'complete exclusion zone' at any time" (China Could Announce a 'Total Exclusion Zone 'at Any Time' article, issued the above warning. He stated, "This is his personal opinion and does not represent the US military or any government department."

Jin Laier pointed out that both US leaders and the public need to have an understanding of mainland Chinese strategists about Taiwan Island. This is a prerequisite for Washington's sound policy. These discussions are often carried out in the dark, but the possibility of "blue sky" may not be far away. He believes that two articles in the Chinese mainland defense magazine "Army Technology" will provide a glimpse of China's strategic thinking on Taiwan in the middle of this year.

One is the importance of "blockade" from the historical warfare, that is, "the main force of naval power, with the cooperation of the army, the air force, the strategic rocket army, the heavenly army, and the net army, take a variety of means to control a sea area" . Although there is no name in Taiwan, it means that it is quite clear.

Another article talks about the "Island Cruise" action of the People's Liberation Army Air Force. Kinale wrote that in the past two years, these air missions involving the eastern side of Taiwan have been said to have provided excellent experience to the PLA Air Force personnel and that the PLA's long-range combat capability has improved. Although this article recognizes the right of the US and all other countries' warships to pass through the Taiwan Strait, it expresses that such activities demonstrate the "obvious political and military intentions" of the United States.

Speaking of the possible blockade of the PLA by Taiwan, Jin Laier pointed out that while waiting for the official appearance of the new bomber H-20 in mainland China in the Asia-Pacific region, the PLA Air Force seems to be taking off. “Island Cruise” has attracted attention to the ambitious PLA Navy and its enhanced blue water capabilities.

According to Kinale, Taiwan is very close to mainland China, only 100 miles (about 160 kilometers), so the "by-the-cruise" bomber is unlikely to play a major role in conquering Taiwan. The PLA’s capabilities are made stronger by the highly accurate missiles of the strategic rocket forces, so the Air Force may only play a role in the “sweeping” operation. If the Rockets’ firepower is not enough, the PLA Navy and other units have already stockpiled a large number of land-based cruise missiles. There is also an interesting fact that mainland China can cover most of the relevant landing sites with devastating rocket firepower – a cheap and efficient method of destruction.

Ginlay further pointed out that all of the above capabilities may be redundant, as tens of thousands of advanced mines are sufficient. He said that Taiwanese may want to hoard a large amount of canned food and put extra concrete on the shelter; if US-China relations are allowed to continue the current spiral decline, there is indeed more worrying than the US stock portfolio.

Finally, Kim Laier said that a Chinese strategist with an idea recently told him at a meeting that mainland China is not good at deterrence. Whether in the Korean War or the Sino-Indian war, the deterrence signals in mainland China are ignored. And led to the war. Jin Laier stressed that the United States should pay close attention to China’s signal to its "core interests" and work hard to calm the tension between the two sides. Otherwise, we can almost always see mainland China’s announcement of a “total exclusion zone” for Taiwan.

Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said on October 17 that the fact that the mainland and Taiwan belong to one China and that Taiwan is a part of China is a fact that no one or any force can change. Any separatist plots and actions that threaten the self-respect of the ocean, increase the opposition, attempt to undermine cross-strait relations, and change the status of Taiwan can only be humiliated and will never succeed.

They say just 1 cubic centimetre of the fibre – made from carbon nanotube – would not break under the weight of 160 elephants, or more than 800 tonnes. And that tiny piece of cable would weigh just 1.6 grams.

“This is a breakthrough,” said Wang Changqing, a scientist at a key space elevator research centre at Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xian who was not involved in the Tsinghua study.

The Chinese team has developed a new “ultralong” fibre from carbon nanotube that they say is stronger than anything seen before, patenting the technology and publishing part of their research in the journal Nature Nanotechnology earlier this year.

“It is evident that the tensile strength of carbon nanotube bundles is at least 9 to 45 times that of other materials,” the team said in the paper.

They said the material would be “in great demand in many high-end fields such as sports equipment, ballistic armour, aeronautics, astronautics and even space elevators”.


Science fiction?

The idea of building a lift that could travel from the Earth into space may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but it has been around for more than a century, and scientists have come up with various designs in recent decades.

One of them involves sending a large satellite into geostationary orbit that would lower a cable to the ground, where it would be anchored, and send another cable in the opposite direction, attached to a counterweight.

The theory is that the lift would be suspended between two cables – pulled taut by gravity and centrifugal force, and rotating with the Earth, like a weight on a piece of string being swung around in circles.

But so far, the space elevator idea has remained in the realm of physical and mathematical models because there has been no material strong enough to make the super-light, ultra-strong cables needed.



Those cables would need to have tensile strength – to withstand stretching – of no less than 7 gigapascals, according to Nasa. In fact, the US space agency launched a global competition in 2005 to develop such a material, with a US$2 million prize attached. No one claimed the prize.

This could be a game changer in many sectors

Wei Fei, leader of the development team

Now, the Tsinghua team, led by Wei Fei, a professor with the Department of Chemical Engineering, says their latest carbon nanotube fibre has tensile strength of 80 gigapascals.

Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical molecules made up of carbon atoms that are linked in hexagonal shapes with diameters as small as 1 nanometre. They have the highest known tensile strength of any material – theoretically up to 300 gigapascals.

But for practical purposes, these carbon nanotubes must be bonded together in cable form, a process which is difficult and can affect the overall strength of the final product.

According to Wang, the space lift researcher, the transport system would need more than 30,000km of cable, and it would also need other structures such as a rail and a shield to protect against space debris and other environmental hazards.

“If the cable is not strong enough, it would not even be able to support its own weight. Until now, there has been no material tough enough to do the job,” said Wang, deputy executive director of the China-Russia International Space Tether System Research Centre.
Hotels in space – the final frontier for luxury travel or pure science fiction?

Requirements for cable strength vary according to the space lift design. Wang said the carbon nanotube fibre appeared to be the most promising candidate for now, but more calculations and simulation were needed to evaluate how it would perform.

“The tether is one big problem, but it is not the only problem,” he added.

Chinese and Russian space scientists, for instance, are working together to find a safe, effective way to lower a fine, feather-light cable from a high-altitude orbit to the ground. Re-entry to the atmosphere can produce a lot of heat that could burn the cable, while the counterweight may need to be as large as an asteroid to keep the line straight.

The scale and complexity of such a project would dwarf the International Space Station, according to Wang.

But countries including China, the United States, Russia and Japan continue to support the research. So-called space tether technology has the potential to be used for military purposes, including capturing “non-cooperative targets” including enemy satellites.

Japan launched two satellites last month in an experiment to study elevator movement in space – the first time this has been done – involving a mini-lift travelling along a cable from one satellite to another. It has yet to report the results of the experiment. China has also conducted space tethering tests but the details were classified.
Electric cars and laser cannons

While a lift to space could still be many years away, Wei said his team was trying to get the carbon nanotube fibre into mass production for use in defence or other areas.

“This could be a game changer in many sectors,” he said.

Wei gave the example of superfast flywheels in a mechanical battery – where the flywheel stores energy in a rotating mass, lifted by magnetic levitation in a vacuum chamber. The lighter and stronger the material, the faster it spins.

Using carbon nanotube flywheels, the mechanical battery would have 40 times the energy density of a lithium battery, according to Wei. That would mean a car like a Tesla Model S could travel for 16,000km in one charge – the distance from London to Sydney.

But the technology is likely to be used for military purposes first, Wei said.

“Many new weapon systems such as rail guns and laser cannons require high performance power storage and supply systems, and our technology offers a possible solution,” he said.

The researchers made the longest carbon nanotube in the world in 2013 – measuring half a metre – and recently developed a 70cm one.

Song Liwei, who studies mechanical batteries at the Harbin Institute of Technology in Heilongjiang, said if the carbon nanotube fibre could be mass-produced and if it significantly increased the energy density of mechanical batteries, it “would kill fossil fuel engines”.

“But the flywheels can be as big as a barrel, and the fibre would need to be several kilometres long to make a battery,” he said. “There is still a long way to go.”

A research team from Tsinghua University in Beijing has developed a fibre they say is so strong it could even be used to build an elevator to space.

If this claim is verified by other researchers, the properties of this new material are straight out of science fiction.
Space elevators are the ultimate cheap space launch technology. Instead of blasting into space using a rocket, space elevators allow launch vehicles to literally climb to orbit along a long cable, using electric power supplied via the cable.
The way space elevators work, a satellite is placed in a geosynchronous orbit, and a long cable is dangled down to Earth, where it is tethered to a ground station. Geosynchronous satellites orbit the Earth once every 24 hours, so from the point of view of someone on Earth they appear to permanently hang in the same place in the sky, providing the perfect orbital tether to the top of a very long elevator cable. TV satellites are also placed in geostationary orbits, so you can point your satellite dish at the transmitter, and never have to adjust it again.
The catch is the tether cable has to support its own weight for at least 22,000 miles, so the cable material must be immensely strong and extremely light. The new Chinese nanotube material may satisfy both of these requirements.
Space elevators could be used to construct solar power satellites for an affordable price.
The new material might even make electric cars practical – the Post claims it could potentially be used to construct a flywheel battery for an electric automobile capable of holding 10,000 miles worth of electric charge.

近日,在某集团军陆军航空兵实施训练的报道中,出现了一张武直-10在机身侧面附加装甲的照片,顿时引发了大家的关注。因为有消息称,这种装甲板是用石墨烯材料制成的,强度是钢的100倍,可大大提高武直-10的防护能力。

什么是石墨烯装甲
说到石墨烯,有的人知道,有的人不知道,它是一种2009年才被发现的新材料,而发现这种材质的科学家紧接着就拿了2010年的诺贝尔物理学奖,就知道这种材料有多厉害了。
简单来说,石墨烯是一种由单层碳原子组成的二维碳纳米材料,是世界上已知的最薄、最坚硬、导热性、导电性最好的材料,也是人类已知测量过的强度最高的物质,其强度比普通结构钢高100倍以上,但密度却只有钢的1/5,简直就是天然的装甲制造材料。
当然了,石墨烯材料的制备难度很高,价格也非常贵,不过我国已经掌握了生产技术,北京航空材料研究院的科研人员还以此为基础,研制出了石墨烯增强的铝基复合材料装甲板,然后通过与中航装甲科技有限公司合作,将这种装甲板量产。据该公司发布的产品公开资料称,其生产的石墨烯材料防弹装甲板密度低于2.8克/立方厘米,仅是防弹钢板密度的30%,防弹钛合金板的56%,经过多次实际打靶测试,防弹效果和抗多次打击能力也明显好于同等厚度的防弹钛合金板,更是远远超过普通的防弹钢板。

如虎添翼
除了防弹能力强,石墨烯装甲板最大的亮点是重量轻,所以非常适合用在对重量特别敏感的飞行器上。以我国服役的武直-10来讲,该机因为装备的涡轴发动机动力冗余不多,加上要满足较大的航程和外挂能力,因此在设计时只能严格控制机身重量,只在要害部位敷设了铝合金和凯夫拉防弹材料,导致该机存在一定的防护薄弱区。解决这个问题也很简单,加装防弹装甲板就行,就像欧洲的“虎”式直升机,通过在机身外部的几个重点区域额外增设装甲板来提高防护性能,但普通装甲板的重量太大,会影响直升机的有效载荷,所以就一直没有施行,只是为保护飞行员,在飞行员座椅两侧加装了陶瓷装甲板。
国产石墨烯装甲板的问世彻底解决了这个问题,从最新的武直-10照片可以看出,该机除了在前后座舱外侧加装附加装甲外,在发动机短舱外侧也披挂了一组防护面积较大的防护装甲,大大改善了武直-10的防御能力,让该机可以在低空免疫轻武器和12.7毫米反器材武器的攻击。
这对于武直-10来说简直就是如虎添翼,因为现在的武装直升机虽然普遍装有导弹预警系统和干扰弹诱饵弹发射装置,但这都是用来防御导弹的,面对轻武器和反器材武器的打击,有时候闪不过就只能用身体硬抗,所以能不能抗也是武装直升机的一个重要性能因素。特别对于武直-10这种中型武装直升机来说,由于起飞重量的限制,在防护上天然就比“阿帕奇”、米-28这样的重型武装直升机弱,加装了石墨烯装甲板后,就可以弥补这个弱点,从而大大提高武直-10的战场生存能力。

Recently, in a report on the training of a group army army aviation, there was a photo of Wu Zhi-10 attaching armor on the side of the fuselage, which immediately aroused everyone's attention. Because there is news that the armor plate is made of graphene material, the strength is 100 times that of steel, which can greatly improve the protection ability of Wuzhi-10.

Legend: Straight-10 armed helicopters without additional armor panels. Note: Straight-10 armed helicopters with no additional armor panels installed


What is graphene armor?


When it comes to graphene, some people know that some people don’t know that it is a new material that was discovered in 2009, and scientists who discovered this material immediately took the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics. I know how much this material is.


Simply put, graphene is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial composed of a single layer of carbon atoms. It is the thinnest, hardest, thermal conductive, and most conductive material known in the world. It is also known by humans. The highest strength of the material, its strength is more than 100 times higher than ordinary structural steel, but the density is only 1/5 of the steel, it is simply a natural armor manufacturing material.


Of course, the preparation of graphene materials is very difficult and the price is very expensive, but China has mastered the production technology. The researchers of Beijing Aeronautical Materials Research Institute have also developed graphene-reinforced aluminum-based composite materials based on this. The armor plate was then mass-produced by cooperation with AVIC Armor Technology Co., Ltd. According to the company's published product data, the density of the armor plate of the graphene material produced is less than 2.8 g/cm3, which is only 30% of the density of the bulletproof steel plate, 56% of the bulletproof titanium alloy plate, after many actual targets. The test, bulletproof effect and resistance to multiple strikes are also significantly better than bulletproof titanium alloy plates of the same thickness, and far more than ordinary bulletproof steel plates.

Legend: The “Tiger” helicopter with an armor plate attached to the outside of the fuselage. Note: The “Tiger” helicopter with armor plate is attached to the outside of the fuselage.


Adding wings


In addition to its high ballistic resistance, the biggest highlight of the graphene armor plate is its light weight, making it ideal for use on aircraft that are particularly sensitive to weight. In terms of Wuzhi-10, which is in service in China, the machine has less power redundancy due to the turboshaft engine, and it has to meet the larger range and external capacity. Therefore, the weight of the fuselage can only be strictly controlled during design. The aluminum alloy and Kevlar bulletproof materials were applied to the key parts, resulting in a certain weak area for protection. It is also very simple to solve this problem. It is just like installing a bullet-proof armored deck. Just like the European "Tiger" helicopter, it can improve the protection performance by adding additional armor plates in several key areas outside the fuselage, but the weight of the ordinary armor plate is too Large, it will affect the payload of the helicopter, so it has not been implemented, just to protect the pilot, a ceramic armor plate is installed on both sides of the pilot seat.


The advent of the domestic graphene armor plate completely solved this problem. It can be seen from the latest Wuzhi-10 photos that in addition to the additional armor on the outside of the front and rear cockpits, the machine also has a set of protective areas on the outside of the engine nacelle. The large protective armor has greatly improved the defense capability of the Wuzhi-10, allowing the aircraft to attack low-altitude light weapons and 12.7 mm anti-equipment weapons.


This is simply a plus for the Wuzhi-10, because the current armed helicopters are generally equipped with missile warning systems and jamming decoys, but they are used to defend missiles, against light weapons and anti-equipment weapons. Sometimes, you can only use the body to resist, so it is also an important performance factor for armed helicopters. Especially for the medium-sized helicopter gunship of Wuzhi-10, due to the limitation of the take-off weight, the protection is naturally weaker than the heavy-armed helicopters such as "Apache" and Mi-28. After the installation of the graphene armor plate, It can make up for this weakness, thus greatly improving the battlefield survivability of Wuzhi-10.
