Nowadays, with the rapid improvement of the scientific and technological strength of various countries, more and more innovative weapons have come out. To a large extent, the strength of science and technology has become a key factor in measuring the comprehensive strength of a country, which determines the speed of a country's development. The latest piece of good news is that China has once again tackled a key technology that has pushed it to the forefront of the world, leaving the United States and Russia in the dust. This technology is nuclear power.
For a long time, the United States and Russia have maintained a leading position in the field of nuclear power, and their nuclear power technology has not only led the world, but has also been successfully applied to warplanes, submarines and other weapon systems, and even tried to develop nuclear-powered missiles. As early as 1954, the United States produced the world's first nuclear-powered submarine, followed by a number of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. In this context, many countries have recognized the strategic importance of nuclear-powered weapons and have invested in research and development. It is worth mentioning that the United States and Russia have discovered through practice that nuclear power systems are only suitable for submarines and aircraft carriers. With its huge advantage of having 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the United States is known as the "hegemon of the sea", and no matter where there is a conflict, the United States can always quickly deploy aircraft carriers. There are only two countries in the world that have nuclear-powered aircraft carrier technology, and one of them is the United States.
Recently, the mainland has conquered a nuclear power technology and achieved overtaking in corners. This cryogenic nuclear reactor technology breaks through the limitations of the past and can be applied to small nuclear submarines, which has not been studied in depth in other countries. This breakthrough came as a surprise to the United States and Russia: China seized the lead. The fact that the mainland has once again made this important breakthrough is of far-reaching significance to the mainland's national defense construction and the enhancement of its comprehensive strength.
In fact, the Continental started late in the field of nuclear power, but quickly achieved impressive results. This scientific and technological progress means that we are constantly at the forefront of innovation and actively improving the country's comprehensive strength.
