Why China is building artificial islands in the South China Sea?


The answer to that question is not very difficult to find out even without training of intelligence specialist. The problem of China is the lack of aircraft carriers and that's why China must build the artificial islands for making the support bases for the long-range bombers and refueling aircraft. Artificial islands are technically easier to produce than aircraft carriers. And those islands offer cheaper and also an effective way to operate the new cruise missiles of China. The idea is that the truck-mounted system needs on to drive out from cargo planes, and they are ready to operate.

Those bases are necessary for the fighter escorts for bombers and refueling aircraft because without that support those things could be quite easy targets for the jet fighters. Even if China would place their new cruise missiles to those islands that system needs support, even if they would be high-mobile truck-mounted systems. Those highly mobile systems can drive in the cargo plane, and send to the South China Sea for treating the U.S task force and especially it's aircraft carriers, what have the key element in the global operations in the U.S task force.

Those very high-speed systems are really deadly. They can be equipped with a conventional or nuclear warhead. And in the future, that kind of systems would allow getting hypersonic speed are suitable for making the secured areas in the South China Sea. When they are taken to the operational area the biggest threat will be that somebody steals that kind of weapon. That means that there must be the evacuation plan for the cases that the base will be under attack of the enemy and the launching of those missiles is impossible. Also, there is a possibility that somebody will be rebellious, and because of that kind of threats those missiles must be driven in the cargo planes immediately when they are under the threat, and those big aircraft need long runways.

Those systems need support and spare parts, and this means that the cargo-planes must have runways, where they can be operated. China can have two strategies to operate those weapons. Another is that cruise missiles would stay in the central bases until the political and military situation needs that those weapons must take to the operational area. And another is that those systems would be placed to the artificial islands.

Those islands have one benefit for an aircraft carrier, and that is that they would stay in certain places. And if the cruise missiles would put in there, the system must be protected by protective units, because there is a risk that somebody will shoot them against own targets. But the main reason for making those islands is that they offer a stable place to set the cruise missiles. When the missiles have been shot, the base can be destroyed, and there is no influence for the flight of those missiles.

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Thoughts about strong leadership

Thoughts about strong leadership Everybody knows, how the dictators would rise in the power of the nation, and the thing what makes people supporting those persons is that they offer strong leadership as the way to make nation proud. And also they have always the same parroting, the foreigners and other nations have a too strong influence in the country. But what makes those persons like some Robert Mugabe or Kim Jong Un to think that they are only possible leaders, and why people would need them? Why there is nobody else allowed to try to come to the head of the state, or even try to challenge those leaders? If they are so popular as they want people to think or believe, why they don't tolerate any kind of opposition if they are done so good and big actions for their people, that they are celebrated in every home in their country. The thing that would return the morale and spine for the nation is the strong leader, who would put the state back in order and row. The thing is ...

Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots.

 Next-generation nanotechnology can be independent-operating molecule-sized robots. "A DNAzyme (red) uses its binding arms to dock at a specific location on an RNA strand (yellow) and then cleaves it at its core.

The DNA molecule is one of the tools. That can use for controlling molecular-size machines. DNA is like a chemical computer program. And if the researchers can make synthetic DNA that can make exactly what the...
