Death Star Super Laser
And if any nation creates a device so powerful that it will recall the iconic Death Star Super Laser in Star Wars capable of concentrating immense energy and a single point with impressive appreciation, this sci-fi-sounding description could be becoming a reality, although of course without the power to destroy entire planets.
Weapon mechanism
Chinese scientists claim to have developed a new convergent microwave device with multiple aces, a system based that coordinates several aces to merge at a single point creating a devastating and extremely precise attack, this new system consists of autonomous vehicles each equipped with transmitters of microwaves that can be strategically positioned.
These vehicles are allied with almost unimaginable location and timing precision while maintaining a position error of only a few millimeters and an inter-Ace time error of just 170 pico seconds, much more precise than the atomic clocks of GPS satellites.
To give us an idea of the level of technological advance involved, Chinese scientists recently established a world record in time precision, managing to synchronize signals with a precision of 10 pico seconds and a distance of 1800 km. This advance in temporal precision is fundamental for the operation of the new weapon allowing microwave aces emitted from different points to align and form a single point of convergence with amplified power.
The precision timing capabilities of these aces are not only a technological achievement but also a powerful military tool. In experimental tests, the weapon would have been capable of disrupting GPS signals demonstrating its potential to jam adversary satellite systems, although the exact details about its Performance and range are confidential, experts affirm that by reaching an energy output of one Giga Watt this technology could already cause significant damage to satellites in low orbit.
This of course is still far from the level of energy necessary to destroy a planet, as in the famous Star Wars scene, however, this supposed advance would place China in a strategic position with a technology capable of influencing the balance of power in operations. space and electronic warfare.
This convergent microwave project not only demonstrates the technological potential of the Asian country, but also demonstrates a new era in technological warfare, where precision and coordination capacity are as lethal as brute force itself.
