SOUNDBITE (Chinese): MAO KAI, Chief designer at ultra-high-speed maglev test base STORYLINE: At a test base in Yanggao County, north China's Shanxi Province, researchers have been in pursuit of a futuristic means of transportation. The ultra-high-speed maglev train under development here is a new transportation system that adopts magnetic levitation technology and uses low-vacuum tubes to travel at an ultra-high speed. Equipped with technologies from both aerospace and rail travel, this maglev line is aiming for speeds of up to 1,000 kilometers per hour. A group of young engineers embarked on the project in 2021. This January, the maglev line achieved stable levitation with a speed of 150 kilometers per hour on a 1.2-kilometer test line. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): MAO KAI, Chief d

                  Handout photo dated April 14, 2018 shows the guided-missile destroyer USS Laboon (DDG 58) fires a Tomahawk land attack missile in an undisclosed location. On Tuesday, U.S. fighter jets and a warship shot down an onslaught of missiles and attack drones in the southern Red Sea over a 10-hour period, military officials said. The downed weapons included a dozen one-way attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles and two land attack cruise missiles. “U.S. assets, to include the USS Laboon and F/A-18 Super Hornets from the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group, shot them down,” said U.S. Central Command, the Pentagon’s top combatant command in the Middle East. “There was no damage to ships in the area or reported injuries.” It wasn’t clear exactly what the drones and missiles were targeting, but U.S. forces in the region have carried out a number of “self-defense strikes” and shot down other drones and rockets in recent months.
