Chinese scientists have reportedly developed a new kind of multi-beam converging microwave weapon. Designed to combine several beams in one location with ultra-precise timing, this weapon could be used to target a single object.
Similar in concept to the super laser from the Death Star battle station of Star Wars fame, the new Chinese weapon has allegedly completed experimental military trials. In Star Wars lore, the Death Star’s main weapon uses kyber crystals (the same used in lightsabers) to generate power.
This is then directed through several laser cannons, that merge at a single point to generate a beam so powerful it can destroy entire planets. While impressive cinematically, this kind of weapon has long been considered a complete fantasy.
According to reports, the new Chinese weapon consists of multiple independent microwave-transmitting vehicles that can be deployed in different locations.
