China plans to launch trial for a solar power plant SPACE STATION in 2028 that will beam energy back down to Earth - beating the US and UK to the punch

中国计划在2028年启动太空太阳能发电站试验，将能量传回地球，领先美国和英国

China has announced plans to bring forward its launch of a solar power plant that would beam energy back down to Earth from space.

中国宣布计划提前进行太空太阳能发电站项目，该发电设施将把能量从太空传回地球。

The first step of the ambitious project is now slated to take place in 2028, two years ahead of the original schedule, when a trial satellite will be launched to test the technology.

目前，这一雄心勃勃的计划的第一步定于2028年进行，比原计划提前两年，届时将发射一颗试验卫星来测试该技术。

It would involve the use of wireless power transmission from space to the ground from an altitude of 248 miles (400km).

这涉及到使用无线电力传输，从太空到地面248英里(400公里)的高度。

Beiing would be stealing a march on NASA, which first proposed a similar energy project more than two decades ago but never took it on.

北京将抢在NASA之前，后者早在20多年前就提出了一个类似的能源项目，但从未启动。

The UK government has also commissioned independent research to support putting a £16billion British version into orbit by 2035.   

英国政府还委托独立研究，以协助在2035年前将耗资160亿英镑的英国版卫星送入轨道。

China's updated plan was detailed in a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Chinese Space Science and Technology.

中国最新计划的详细内容发表在同行评议期刊《中国空间科学与技术》上的一篇论文中。

Researchers said the satellite would 'convert solar energy to microwaves or lasers and direct the energy beams to various targets, including fixed locations on Earth and moving satellites', according to the South China Morning Post.

据《南华早报》报道，研究人员表示，该卫星“将太阳能转化为微波或激光，并将能量光束定向到各种目标，包括地球上的固定位置和移动的卫星”。

It is thought that by using microwaves the team will be able to reduce the amount of energy lost as it passes through the atmosphere.

据认为，通过使用微波，该团队能够减少它在穿过大气层时的能量损失。

The basic concept involves a space station with a solar array to convert solar energy into electrical energy.

基本概念包括一个带有太阳能阵列的空间站，将太阳能转化为电能。

yeah this is looking a lot like a weapon... something out of a bond movie

这玩意儿看起来很像武器，就像邦德电影里的东西

So they would be sending more energy/HEAT to the Earth.

所以会向地球发送更多的能量/热量。

If one of their sats go off-course... how many earthlings will it roast?

如果他们的一颗卫星偏离轨道，要烤死多少地球人?

$310.3 billion annual trade deficit with China so guess who paid for it.

美国与中国的年度贸易逆差为3103亿美元，猜猜是谁在买单。

All that stuff people buy at Walmart and Amazon adds up over time. Look who's the superpower now. Better start taking Chinese lessons.

Sounds to me like a weapon.

The West should be concerned, China will exceed in military, new tech, production, intelligence, and world domination by 2030. Amazing the West simply handed it all over for short term gains.

西方应该担心，到2030年，中国将在军事、新技术、生产、智能和主宰世界方面超过西方。令人惊讶的是，为了短期利益，西方把这些都拱手让出了。

... and then China could park it over Taiwan and microwave them into submission. I don't trust them.

然后中国可以把它停在台 湾上空，用微波令其屈服。我不相信他们。

ok anyone other than me see a problem with this???

好吧，除了我还有谁觉得这有问题吗?

China is running on coal. They're going to have a lot more advances with cheap reliable power while they're selling the world batteries and solar panels.

中国是靠煤炭运转的。在向世界出售电池和太阳能电池板的同时，他们在廉价可靠的电力方面取得更多进展。

China is waiting for another country to establish the technology, then they will steal it. They never lead in new technology.

中国等着其他国家发明技术，然后他们就会窃取。他们未在新技术上领先。

While many of you s@kers BS all days, knocking ever other country and killing each other for fun, China has made huge stride in every area of science and technology. Sh^t the f^k up and do some work!

你们中的许多人整天都在胡扯，攻击其他国家和互相残杀为乐，而中国在科学和技术的每个领域都取得了巨大的进步。都闭嘴，去干点正事吧!
