By Jude Obuseh  In a bold leap forward  in naval technology, Chinese scientists are making waves with their groundbreaking development of laser-powered submarines. According to recent reports, engineers at Harbin Engineering University are on the brink of a major breakthrough that could revolutionize underwater propulsion. The concept behind these futuristic submarines is as ingenious as it is ambitious. By harnessing the power of lasers to generate plasma underwater, researchers aim to create a "detonation wave" capable of propelling the vessels at speeds comparable to jet engines. Coated in thin optical fibers emitting laser power, these submarines have the potential to achieve significant thrust, potentially surpassing the sound barrier. This cutting-edge advancement represents a significant milestone in China's ongoing efforts to bolster its underwater warfare capabilities. With the ability to reach unprecedented speeds and maneuverability, these laser-pow...
