China wants to build a power station in SPACE by 2030 that will beam solar energy to Earth while in orbit

希望到2030年在太空建立一座发电站，从轨道上向地球输送太阳能

China is planning to build a power station in space powered by the sun.

计划在太空建造一座太阳能发电站。

The design would sit in Earth's orbit and turn the sun's rays into electricity before beaming the energy back to Earth.

该发电站位于地球轨道上，将太阳光转化为电能，然后再将电能传输回地球。

It would provide a near-constant supply of electricity if the technology needed can be developed ahead of the 2030 guideline set by the Chinese space agency.

如果所需技术能够在航天局设定的2030年之前开发出来，那么它将提供近乎恒定的电力供应。

A test of the technology is expected to take place between 2021 and 2025 in the stratosphere before a one megawatt solar facility is spent into space by 2030, according to the state-backed Science and Technology Daily.

据《科技日报》)报道，这项技术的测试预计将于2021年至2025年在平流层进行，到2030年，将在太空建设一座兆瓦级太阳能电站。

Future missions will be bigger and more efficient, the plans claim.

根据该计划，未来任务的规模将更大，效率将更高。

An experimental testing base has already been established in the western city of Chongqing to work on the project.

重庆市已经为该项目建立了一个实验测试基地。

The Asian superpower has the second largest amount of state money allocated for space exploration - behind only the US.

这个亚洲超级大国的太空探索经费排名第二，仅次于美国。

China's $8 billion (£6.19 billion) annual budget has seen it rapidly catch rivals such as Russia and the US in the battle for space superiority.

80亿美元(合61.9亿英镑)的年度预算使其在争夺太空优势的竞争中迅速赶上俄罗斯和美国等对手。

The country has also claimed it wants to be the first country to establish a base on the moon and says it will build it using 3D printing technology.

还表示，希望成为第一个在月球上建立基地的国家，并表示将使用3D打印技术建造月球基地。

Officials from the Chinese space agency also said the country will return to the moon by the end of the year with the Chang'e-5 mission.

航天局的官员还表示，将在今年年底重返月球，执行“嫦娥五号”任务。

Three successive missions will further explore the barren surface and the viability of building houses there.

三次连续的任务将进一步探索月球贫瘠的地表和在那里建造房屋的可行性。

China is swiftly establishing a reputation as one of the forerunners in the renaissance of the space race with its continued investment in both Martian and lunar missions.

随着在火星和月球任务上的持续投资，正迅速建立起作为太空竞赛复兴先驱之一的声誉。

After Chang'e-5 returns lunar rocks from the surface the next mission, Chang'e-6 will be the first mission to explore the south pole of the moon.

“嫦娥五号”将在下一次任务中带回月球表面的岩石，之后的“嫦娥六号”任务将首次探索月球南极。

So they will beam it back using what? Microwaves? Huge loss and heating the atmosphere. Not to mention a death-ray. Laser beam. Again huge loss. Maybe they will charge a bunch of batteries and then send them down.

他们将用什么把电力传输回去?用微波?这样损耗很大，而且会使大气受热升温，更不用说还会有杀伤性射线了。用激光光束?损耗也很大。也许他们会用一堆电池充电，然后把电池带回去。

Wouldn't it be better if they could have dark nights and days for the polar regions? Stop the ice melting (albedo), and methane release?

如果能让极地有黑夜和白天，那不是更好吗?这样可以阻止冰层融化和甲烷释放?

Why not build a big pyramid and collect free energy? Maybe it would make a hole in the ionosphere?

为什么不建一个大金字塔，收集能源? 也许可以在电离层上打个洞?

The sun does this by itself.

太阳本身就在向地球传输能量

In other words they have invented an accelerated particle weapon.

Wow, just think: the entire project will be made and assembled in China.....given their record for making top notch products, I suspect this will be costly and utter devestating destruction!

整个项目将在制造和组装。这将耗资巨大，并造成毁灭性的破坏!

That is also what's called a space laser - could be used to make really neat Earth carvings.

这也是所谓的太空激光——可以用来制作雕刻。

I am sure they will steal all the technology to make it happen too.
