Chinese scientists have claimed to have built a “real Death Star” capable of destroying enemy satellites in space. The Death Star is a weapon from the famous science fiction film Star Wars, which has the power to annihilate an entire planet.
Inspired by science fiction movies, this weapon combines pulses of microwave beams to create a powerful ray. To achieve this, electromagnetic pulses must strike the same target within 1,700 trillionths of a second, a feat requiring timing precision even greater than that of the atomic clocks used in advanced GPS satellites. This level of accuracy was previously thought impossible.
The weapon has successfully passed all testing phases for its potential military use, made possible by “ultra-high time precision synchronization.” Experts suggest that this technology can serve multiple purposes, including educational and training uses, technology verification, and military drills.
According to the South China Morning Post, this secret space weapon employs seven microwave-firing vehicles. These vehicles are positioned across a large area but fire simultaneously to form a powerful beam capable of striking targets effectively.
