Description
China is building the world’s first massive self-propelled floating research island. Weighing around 78,000 tonnes and designed to house 238 people for four months, the platform will support deep-sea exploration, survive powerful typhoons, and protect its critical systems against nuclear-blast pressure. But why does a civilian research facility need this level of protection?
