ESA Mars Express probe transmitted data from the Chinese Zhurong Mars rover.

 ESA Mars Express probe transmitted data from the Chinese Zhurong Mars rover.

In this test, the Chinese rover sends a blind data package by using ESA Mars Express orbital probe as a relay station. That probe ended its mission in 2005. The "blind" data transmitted means that the Chinese rover used the data transmission protocol that looks like UDP where the transmitting system doesn't get the echo and the system sends data blindly. That means the receiving system doesn't know that if the system received data. 

The receiving system can send checksum or that data as an echo. To make sure that the data is received. This kind of "blind" communication could help to save the rovers and probes. That is lost control of the ground station. In that kind of case, the elder probes can transmit the aiming data for the communication antenna.

There is also the possibility that Earth is sending the laser marks for aiming the prime communication antenna. In that version. The antenna would turn and aim to the laser point. In that case, the communication antenna would have an automatic search mode for laser and radio frequencies. The antenna searches the marks that are coming from Earth. Laser communication is immune to the solar wind. And the probe can use radio communication through the dust.

And that helps to get the connection between probe and control center. This experiment is interesting because it can save the rover if its prime antenna is turned away from Earth. In some versions, the communication satellite that orbits Mars would receive data in the form of laser impulses. And then it can transmit data to rovers by using the radio-maser or laser communication system. 

The laser aiming communication system can also save the James Webb telescope. The data can transmit its mirror by using the laser. And that helps the telescope to find the ground station in the cases. That the main communication antenna is lost connection.

Is nuclear power necessary for Mars Rovers?

The use of orbiting relay satellites makes it possible that the Mars-rovers can operate also at the night side of Red Planet if they use nuclear propulsion. But there is another way to make the probe that has not RTG, but what can operate night side. That system is more complicated but safer than RTG Radio Thermal Generator. 

 Another way to operate at Mars could be to use the bacteria that form hydrocarbon for fuel cells. In that case, the closed biological circulation of nutrient and anaerobic bacteria forms methane that can use as fuel in fuel cells. And aerobic bacteria or cells can form oxygen for those futuristic systems. In the daytime, that rover can use solar panels. And at night time the bioreactors, fuel cells, and regular batteries for creating power for that system.

Is the new Great Wall of China the thing that gives China superiority in technology?

 Is the new Great Wall of China the thing that gives China superiority in technology?

One of the top actors in quantum computing and artificial intelligence is the People's Republic of China. Those things are important for creating new aircraft, space systems, and communication tools. 

And one of the most powerful quantum computers run on China territory. The Chinese government is introduced many futuristic and powerful weapons like hypersonic cruise missiles and stealth bombers to the world. So how did this happen? 

When we are thinking about the situation that made it possible that Europeans could go to China and take everything they wanted the reason for that was the Wall of China. Before the wall was built China was one of the most advanced nations in the world. 

Then Chinese built the Great Wall, and China left without cultural and scientific exchange with surrounding nations. So when the Europeans arrived they faced the old-fashion military that used equipment from the 12th century. But what if the Chinese would let the information come through the wall? Today China is surrounded by a firewall. 

The Wall of China made cyber-attacks possible. The information came through China's information wall. Allowed that the scientific and technical data could pass that firewall. And by using the data that was collected from net China can create many powerful tools. And the quantum systems make it possible that China will be more powerful. 

Quantum computers allow handling the incredible mass of data. And that thing allows controlling every citizen individually. But the quantum systems also allow that cyber attacks will be more effective. 

The thing is that the Wall of China is effecting also other ways. China has been collected the western high-tech industry in its territory. That thing makes it possible to copy the solutions as an example from the mobile application to the Chinese products. The mobile solutions are interested in the military like the PLA (People's Liberation Army). 

So could there happen that the similar effect that once made China easy cake for conquerors will turn opposite against Europe and the USA? The firewall of China makes it possible to hide the new projects without nobody can disturb those people. There is the possibility that the Chinese weapon and other systems would turn more advanced, flexible, and powerful than the European and American systems. 

The thing that benefits the Chinese leaders and projects is that there is nobody in China. Who criticizes the projects or resources that are put in them. Nobody can resist the projects controlled by the PLA. And that thing makes very fast research and development projects possible. So China can work with very high-scale space and aviation designs, and nobody cannot danger those projects. 

When nations are building walls, they are isolating. That thing can create the false and dangerous feeling that the nation behind the wall is safe. When the Chinese build their wall they thought that they were safe. But that thing caused that they didn't know the advantages that other nations made. And that old-fashion army with old fashion equipment made China an easy target for intruders. 

But the Great Wall also acts another way. It also isolates other nations from the advantages that are made in China. When China introduced its most modern weapons sometimes introduced a question. Are we the same way victims of the Great Wall as the Chinese were when Europeans came? Is the Chinese equipment turn too powerful for us?

This is why governments are developing killer-drones

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The situation in the developing drones is like in some children's sandbox, where children throw together with sand. They always claim in those situations, that somebody else made that first. The developing of killer robots have been argued that also other nations interests make this kind of robots. The United States uses drones, what is, of course, the bad thing, and the development of those weapons have been in the public teeth, but in the same time, in Europe, Russia and China are developed many new kinds of military drones, what might be more advanced than U.S X-47B.


The Dassault-Breguet "Neuron" is one version of killer drones, and of course, BAE "Taranis" is the latest technology in the military android making. Those systems are the most intelligent in the world, and they have the ability to communicate with computer centers and as an example, the warships central computers, what give those drones more independence than ever before.


Also, there might be planned the data satellites, what are actually the computers, that are launched to the orbital trajectory. And their mission would give more calculating capacity to those drones. Of course, they can improve the capacity to communicate between the drones and supercomputer centers at the opposite side of the oceans. Those systems are quite terrifying, but the Chinese operations and their navy's and air force's new automatized boats and aircraft would have an excuse to continue drone programs around the world.


Those machines are perfect weapons, and when opposite force would use them, why the western operators would not continue the development of those weapons. And of course, China is the potential enemy of the United States and Western nations, and Chinese weapons are good excuse to develop new very lethal weapons, what can fly from another side of Earth to attack to the targets in the far east. What is far enough from European media.

The silence of war, democracy, and international politics

United Nations Headquates
(Picture 1)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

When we are looking about the international politics, we must say that there are many things, what are kept in silence. The United States of America has the most number of wars after the Second World war, and that is the reason, why that nation has been criticised about the way,  how it acts in the global area. But there are many things, what some people want´s to forget, and one of those things is that we can go war without official declaring of the war.


There are many nations that are on the full-scale civil war, but their governments will not care anything about their people, and here I´m not talking about the North-Korea. The lucky thing for the people in the Korean peninsula is that the neighbor for the North Korean government is the nation, what products very much high-tech equipment, and many nations afraid, that if this technology will get to hands of the communist state, would the results be devastating. But there are millions of people, who live in the most brutal conditions, and nobody even wants to care anything about those people. In Equatorial Guinea lives one of the most brutal dictators on Earth, and nobody even cares, what that person does in his 1,2 million people country.


There have been many expensive building contracts in that country, what are made by China. And one of the best guess, why China made those contracts, is that the government fo China needs so-called "eye-ball" to hide their own actions in that land, and that is also the reason, why the situation in North Korea is suitable for China. This will turn the attention of the World media away from the political situation in China, what wants Western money. The political arrests are of course the things, what are very uncomfortable for the Chinese government. And the situation in the Korean peninsula is the very good thing because it turns the attention of western press away from the political situation in China.


In Africa lives many kinds of organisms like Ebola- and Crimean Congo-viruses, what might be transferred to the secret laboratories in China. If some state wants to create biological weapons, it needs only one piece of virus, what it will multiply in the cell platforms. And the biological warfare is one of the best and most horrible ways to make genocides. in the real world the biological weapons can be delivered by the same equipment that is used in the agriculture. And the user of those most human weapons must not eve own an aircraft. Those organisms can be delivered by the agents, who will pull the virus into the water system, or they can be infected, and then those persons could be "released" to another country.


The biological weapons are dangerous in any hands, and if some dictatorial country has one airplane, what it can fly in some city-centrals like Moscow, Peking, Paris or London airspace, and if this airplane will release biological weapon in those very popular traffic hubs, could the result be the global epidemics of some virus like Ebola, what is one of the most deadly organisms on our planet. The thing what makes that epidemic very dangerous is that normal people will not think that they got Ebola in Europe and because they won´t get to quarantine, the results can be the same kind like during the "black death" or plaque in Medieval Europe.

Why is the war so close in the Korean peninsula?

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The problem of the Korean situation is that Kim Jong Un and his government doesn't even care about how many people will die if there will be nuclear conflict in that area. That government is the only thing, what must survive in that devastating war, is the key thought of the North-Korean leader's mind. They know, that they have only one option to left if their country will slip off their iron hand.

Those leaders must open the fire with nuclear weapons because that is the only way to survive the hands of their people, who don't even know that they are suffering. In the North Korean dictatorship, the key element is that those people have no real information from the outer world. Those people will allow to read and see only the information, what Kim Jong Un will let them see, and if somebody will see something else, will the result be arrest and send those people to prison camps.


The North Korean media like that country's internet will give those people false information about their leaders and relation from the outer land. In that land is the media, what claims that outer world is full of wars and epidemics. That's why the humans have so difficult to flee from that country. The brainwashing will be starting before those people will go to school, and if somebody has different opinions on the things like government, will they send to the prison camps.


For their parents will tell, that their children are the maniac or other ways mentally ill, and then they will leave to the camps. That's the reason, why there are no protests in that country. North Korean leaders know that if the information bubble will collapse, they can expect the hanging in the nearest street light. This is the reason, why this country always threat another state. Psychiatrical reasons are the good thing to isolate the political prisoners because their thinking and talking might deliver information virus to the people of the North Korea.  The information is like infection, what will start to flare around the community.


The reason why the North-Korea actually exists is that the United States and South Korea needs the state between South Korea and China. If China attacks on the South Korea, will the battles happen in the area of North Korea. And also China needs the buffer country between it and the Western propaganda, as they claim the South Korean government. The area of the North Korea is important to China because that isolates the China from South Korea and the propaganda transmissions, what the United States will send to the China.

Some persons believe that the North Korean threat will be stopped if the western world will withdraw from this situation. But as we might say, why the western world ever puts hard line against this kind of states, whatever keep their contracts. Those countries are always broke their promises, and this is why the western nations will not able to flee from that situation because that will give to Kim Jong Un the signal that North Korea can begin to threat other countries when it wants to do that.

The China's new anti-ship weapon will put America's aircraft carriers in the danger.

DF-26

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The China build a new kind of anti-ship missile like DF-26, what have an extremely long range and the mobile launchers.  Those anti-ship missiles targets are United States aircraft carrier units, what they will hit with the speed of Mach 12. Those weapons are terrifying because the extremely high speed and the truck-mounted launchers can make that weapon extremely deadly. 

Those very fast flying missiles are very problematic for the defense of those battlegroups. Even if those missiles will locate before the hit, the aircraft have the problem to fly about 1000 nautical miles to the target, and if the missiles have been launched, the attack will be useless. I’m almost sure that those missiles can be targeted by remote control via internet, and the missile crew must only to drive their truck to the launching point and leave the truck after the missiles are fired. 

The locating the target would happen with satellites or patrolling airplanes, and after the aircraft carrier is located, the launching parameters can be sent by the Internet in the second, and then the missile will rise up from its launcher. The problem with that missile is that it will need no nuclear warhead to destroy their targets, and actually, those missiles destroy their targets with kinetic energy. And that makes the defense very difficult. Those kinetic warheads diameter can be very small size, and that will make those missiles very dangerous. 

Of course, the United States might convert some of their ballistic Minuteman III missiles for that kind of strike. The kinetic energy missile needs very sharp guidance system, that they can strike precise to their target.  And the guidance system of that missile can be IIR (Imaging Infra Red) what is very sharp. That kind of guidance system bases the camera, what makes a picture of the target. Another picture what is taken of the target is stored in those missiles computers, and then the computer will check that those pictures are fully one on the other. That’s how the missile will strike straight to the target.

Why modern China's president have more power than Mao ever had?

Forbidden City Beijing

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Why the president of China has more power than Mao could ever imagine is because of the Internet. That thing what is made for freedom can also be the most dangerous thing in the hands of dictators. That network makes people surveillance possible, and I think that sometimes those undemocratic leaders will follow their orders by surveillance cameras. So by this thing the president of China can see what his men are doing anytime he wants. That man must just click an icon of some surveillance cameras, and he can follow anybody who he wants.

The surveillance equipment what is needed is any device that has an Internet connection like computer or GSM-telephone. That thing where the leader of the state has this kind of surveillance equipment, what can he use to break some person’s privacy is a very new situation for the world. China also might have FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) nuclear weapons. Those weapons can launch to Low Earth Orbiter, and there they can be ready for a surprise attack. FOBS- weapons can be launched a couple of weeks before the attack, and then the satellites were in the orbital the final order to begin the attack.


But in the wildest rumors, there are satellites what spends even years at higher orbital, to wait for orders to open fire with nuclear weapons. Those satellites might play space junk or they might be weather satellites, what is equipped with a nuclear weapon, and if they play some weather satellites, that will cover the communication between the satellite and command center.

If authorities put some surveillance application in cell phones that are sold in some nation, could the leader of that nation personally eavesdrop anybody in the state, who has that application in his cell phone? And we must realize that those governments are very authoritarian users of power, and there might be some kind of orders, that cell phone must keep open all the time, because the leader of the state want’s to hear, what his staff members are talking.

That’s why those cell phones that are sold in that country might be equipped with the modified operating system, what allows officials to open any cell phone anytime when they want, and use that thing as a spy equipment. That means that officials want that phone is always in their man hand or pocket, and of course, that equipment will never able to leave even on the table without attention.

That kind of orders makes cell phones more effective surveillance system because it can transmit every world, what in the room is said to an observer. The Internet allows also very large scale information operation, where media, what is free and trust-able in the west, begins to make massive disinformation projects, what mission is to support that state’s leaders own policy.

When we think that some media are safe from false information. That’s not true because there are many things what makes media very effective tool when we are talking about false media, what is protected by highest leaders in the state. Nobody realized when the Internet was created with rules of media, what happened to some states.


The Internet became an ultimate tool also for propaganda. And nobody ever imagined that in the hoax-information background is the governmental actor. If the government supports propagandists that will make the defense against them very dangerous and difficult. Dictatorial governments can censor all attempts to correct false information. The truth of those states is what their leaders want that be.

If somebody fights against this kind of actor, that person could be in danger of political arrested. And if a government is co-operating with those propagandists, they will ever come to any court halls, because those men can avoid any attempt to close their homepages and personal data. That’s why governmental propaganda is more dangerous than we believe.
