Why China's Electromagnetic Launch Technology Surpasses the US, the Truth Lies in the Entire Industrial Chain Including Inverters, Super Capacitors, Energy Storage, and Ultra-High Voltage.
The Fujian aircraft carrier successfully achieved electromagnetic launch and simultaneously launched three types of aircraft, including the J-35 stealth multi-role fighter, which is a first in human history and something the US has long desired but never achieved. The shock within the US over our electromagnetic launch technology is greater than that within China, as this time the US witnessed China's comprehensive dominance in electromagnetic launch technology. Some people used to believe that if the US couldn't do it, we certainly couldn't either. Today, we have achieved a breakthrough, yet there are still some who idolize foreign countries and don't believe it's real.
Some people who idolize foreign countries always think that maybe the West didn't put their full effort into it, and if they did, they would surpass us. Is it really because the US didn't put their full effort that they were comprehensively outperformed by us in electromagnetic launch technology? In fact, the truth is clear: the US has invested a lot in electromagnetic launch technology, and because it cost too much, Trump once suspended the electromagnetic launch project. The US had already put its full effort, but even with that, it couldn't develop a stable and reliable electromagnetic launch system.
On the surface, China's electromagnetic launch technology surpassing the US is because we chose direct current technology, while the US uses alternating current, and the US was outperformed due to a wrong technical approach. In reality, this is not the case. The core reason is that we have the most advanced technology in the entire industrial chain of electromagnetic launch. We indeed lead the world in the new energy field, and we are at the forefront of electrical technology. Technologies such as ultra-high voltage, inverter technology, electromagnetic conversion technology, super capacitor technology, advanced energy storage technology, high-voltage motor technology, and many others are all world-leading.
We have world-leading technological foundations in all areas related to electromagnetic launch. Therefore, integrating them to achieve an overwhelming electromagnetic launch technology over the US is natural. Our superiority over the US in electromagnetic launch is not just due to luck in choosing the right direction, but because our overall technological strength surpasses the US. In the past, the US led the world in many basic technology fields, so it led the world in many specific technologies. Now, China leads the world in some basic technology fields.
We have seen many world-leading advanced technologies around us, such as new energy intelligent connected cars and phased array drones. These are taken for granted, but behind them are world-leading technologies. Our breakthroughs in sixth-generation fighters are also due to our comprehensive industrial chain of advanced technologies. Why is the US so shocked and even fearful of our breakthrough in electromagnetic launch technology? The core reason is the breakthrough in our entire industrial chain technology, not just electromagnetic launch itself.
The US is afraid that if we surpass them in electromagnetic launch technology, we can surpass them in other fields as well, and then the US will lose all its technological advantages. The US emphasizes global division of labor, so many technologies are assigned to Japan, South Korea, Canada, Australia, and Europe for research. This decentralized technological approach has the greatest advantage of saving costs and improving efficiency, but the biggest disadvantage is the difficulty in integration, inability to form a united force, and inability to quickly break through.
We now have the advantage of the entire industrial chain, and we are fully self-controlled, so we can break through core bottlenecks quickly. The US has researched electromagnetic launch for a long time, but without our help, it couldn't solve the stability issues. Therefore, we must keep our core technologies confidential.
