Maglev train network
The large Bay Area (Chinese: 粤港澳大湾区, Greater Bay Area) is an area covering the coast of the confederate state of GuangDong along with Hong Kong and Macau – has received the approval of the central government to launch another major infrastructure project. In this peculiar case, the construction of a maglev-type railway network, i.e. trains moving on a magnetic cushion. These trains are expected to scope a velocity of 650 km/h.
defaultThe first line built as part of this task will connect GuangZhou, the capital of GuangDong state with ShenZhen and Hong Kong. This way will be about 120 km long.
The aim of the task is to build a network of maglev connections, which will make the large Bay Region not more than 40 minutes of travel time between any major urban centres.
It is assumed that by 2035 about 260 million people will be utilizing rail transport (not counting metro). In this situation, the Maglev network becomes a necessity for this region, as the Guangdong provincial government states in its justification. Railways moving at specified advanced velocity will besides let for the creation of mega metropolitan areas in this area.
The maglev railway lines are shortly to connect and another cities that will make large urban centres in the future. These include Shanghai and HangZhou, or ChongQing (a city with the largest population in China – over 30 million) and ChengDu.
The future is born today. At least on Chinese railroads.

A large Break
Chinese scientists from the National Defence Technology University (chin. 国防科技大学) in ChangSha (the capital of the confederate state of HuNan), made a “significant breakthrough in laser weapons technology”.
They have developed a fresh cooling strategy that allows advanced energy lasers to operate “indefinitely”, without overheating.
The problem was a major method challenge in the improvement of laser weapons. With fresh technology, the weapon can now produce a laser beam, so that it does not break or degrade as long as it is desired.
Laser weapons are a weapon of ‘freezing’ for armed forces around the planet due to the fact that they are able to strike at the velocity of light without the request for costly ammunition. It can become not only a cheaper alternate to conventional guns or rocket systems, but besides a component of anti-aircraft, anti-missile and anti-satellite systems.
The fresh cooling strategy developed by Chinese scientists allows precise laser beams to be fired for an indefinite period without losing beam power, which is the primary condition for its effectiveness.
The United States, which spends more than $1 billion each year (as declared) on the improvement of laser weapons, has been working for years on the improvement of specified weapons. The race is on.

Flight CZ3359/60
China confederate Airlines (chin. 中国南方航空) launched a direct air link between KashGar (Autonomous Region of XinJiang) and GuangZhou (pol. Canton, capital of confederate GuangDong Province).
The flight with the number CZ3359/60 takes 6 and a half hours and is China's longest direct airline connection.
For comparison: Direct flight from Warsaw to Beijing takes about 9 hours and 40 minutes.

Smart mines
The ShanXi provincial government (chin. 山西) announced a program to advance the green, safe and effective transformation of the energy industry. As a national comprehensive energy base and China's largest coal industry, the state will proceed to support the conventional energy industry, but with its gradual transformation, strengthening the emphasis on its ecological improvement and rational usage of its coal resources.
According to the assumptions for the current year coal mining in the state will scope 1,365 billion tonnes (In 2022 53 million tonnes were extracted in Poland). By 2025, the production is expected to stay unchangeable at more than 1 billion tonnes per year.
At the same time, digital transformation of mines will continue. In mid-year, 46 mines in ShanXi operated intelligent/digital mining systems. By the end of this year specified mines in the state will be 80. This is almost entirely automated with minimal human participation, especially in underground work.
By the end of 2025, all large and susceptible mines are expected to scope the level of “basic digitisation of coal mining” determined by the administration.
In 2027 all mines in the state will be managed utilizing artificial intelligence and work on digital-robot systems.
