Novichok is one of the most frightening chemical agents in the world

Novichok is one of the most frighten nerve-agents in the world. It is 5 to 20 times more powerful than VX-nerve-gas, and that makes it so frightening. In the article below is not mentioned, why this agent is so powerful, but sometimes I have thought that this chemical agent is packed in nanotechnical capsules, what makes it’s reaction time slower than normal VX-agent. So the user of this agent would flee away before those nanocapsules start to liquid in the human body. This makes the effect that those nerve-agents are starting to influence even hours after exposure to those chemicals.


That nanotechnical capsule would not make the sensors react, and this would cause very dangerous situation because that agent can be delivered by smoke bombs or by dust. This weapon is very lethal and frightens chemical agent. Somebody claims that Novichok is actually pure botulinum, what is packed to those nanotechnical packages, and this makes it so powerful. Botulinum is the most toxic nerve-agent in the world, and it is very easy to produce, by using bacteria and flesh, what will make that poison in anaerobic space.


There would be many different types of capsules, and some of them might be that they would make the wound in the skin. Then the melting capsule would release the neurotoxin to the targeted person blood. Some other capsules would release the nerve-agent to the lungs of the target. This makes it so frighten weapon. Those nanocapsules would look like dust, and that's why they are so innocent looking but lethal. That weapon was the state secret in the Soviet Union. The use of that agent is very brutal, and there is the possibility, that it is boosted with proteins, what would transfer to the nervous system and destroys it.


That protein is causing so-called “Mad-cow’s” syndrome, and the weaponization of that thing is the very attractive thing. That protein is not reacted chemically and it can also sprayed on the skin of the targeted person. Making this horrifying protein is very easy. It will be produced in the cow's body, what eats flesh. And it can be separated from that body. If this protein would get in the human body, it would destroy the nervous system immediately. This makes it so frighten weapon.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
