A couple of words about Chinese flying submarine drones



Image 1) Chinese flying submarine concept. 


The idea of the flying submarine is not new. There made more or less theoretical plans for creating a submarine that can slip near its target, attack it, and fly away. Sometimes those systems are planned to use the ground-effect technology. And that thing could make those aircraft-submarine combinations fly at a low level.  

Above this text, you can see the Chinese model or artist's impression of that thing. The fact is that those drones are large-size. And they can carry also agents and special forces operators to the coastline. But those systems' main role might be to operate as the ship-killers. And against coastal targets. But there is the possibility that the Russian new nuclear-powered "Skyfall"-missiles might be planned to have similar abilities. 


The ability to patrol silently under the ocean surface. Until they get orders to attack. And then suddenly go airborne and attack against inland targets.

Another interesting thing about the underwater systems is the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that can operate underwater and which makes it undetectable. There have been many submarines before WWII that has things like floatplanes. And Japanese submarines had floatplanes on board to search targets for submarines. 

There is a possibility that some of those floatplanes could make torpedo attacks. But the nuclear-powered version would be a full-scale submarine aircraft carrier.

The idea was to combine the aircraft carrier and submarine. The carrier would patrol silently underwater. And then suddenly come to the surface and start the aircraft operations. The design was from the 1950s and that thing was too technical for that time's technical level. Things like VTOL aircraft removed the need to develop that kind of system. But it remains an example of a weird but innovative design.

There was a more conventional version of the "undercover aircraft carrier". The idea was that the submarine has a long incline or hangar above its roof. And then the XF2Y-1 Sea Dart jetfighter could launch from that hangar.  The "Sea Dart" used water skis for take-off and landing. The idea was to use that aircraft against Soviet bombers. Maybe, there were plans that the similar skis that were installed under the XF2Y-1 Sea Dart will install under the body of the nuclear-powered cruise missile called "Project Pluto". 

But modern submarines can operate by using multi-use drones. The small-size drones can make attack and patrol missions on the coastline and open seas. Those drones can use hydrogen as fuel and they can make similar missions to regular drones.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

 Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.  The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands.  Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal.  Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

Facebook and dominance of the media.

The position of Facebook is dominating and that causes concern. Facebook is a well-known and commonly used service. And that thing causes that the information is starting to pile up in that service. That information contains data that we might want to hide. Facebook is a network-based service that can use for many purposes from marketing to intelligence.  Facebook was down and the thing cost about half a million dollars per hour to that service. That shutdown has shown how dominating that service has been growing. Facebook is a powerful tool. It can use to track the networks of people.  Artificial intelligence can show the network map of the people who are using that service. The data that travels between certain members of the network can show how often those people are contacting each other. There is a lot of criticism against Facebook but the fact is that everybody is using that thing.  The attitudes toward Facebook are conflicting. People are criticizing that service ...
