The main project of the high-speed speed train with the longest distance under construction in the world and the first in China with completely independent intellectual property rights has been completed recently. It is understood that the high-speed flying car is the "Hyperloop", which can achieve "near-Earth flight" of 1,000 kilometers per hour.

According to Global Network, this hyper-high-speed rail is about to start testing. If it goes well in the future, it will connect Shanghai and Hangzhou, and the process will only take 9 minutes.

According to the "High Speed Speed Car" public account, with the completion of the pouring of the last set of module support bosses, the first phase of the main project of the High Speed Speed Datong (Yanggao) test line was completed last Friday (10th). This marks the completion of the main project of the world's longest and largest full-scale ultra-high-speed low-vacuum pipeline maglev transportation system test line under construction.

On May 24, 2021, the Shanxi Provincial Laboratory of High-speed Speeding Vehicles was unveiled. The project was approved in September of the same year, and construction officially started in April 2022. The project is located in Yanggao County, Datong City. The line is 2 kilometers long and the starting point is 500 meters west of Yanggao South Station.

High-speed flying car, the full name of "Low Vacuum Pipe Maglev High-speed Flying Car", is a fully enclosed vacuum pipeline and maglev transportation. It can achieve "near-earth flight" of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour, and is faster, more convenient, comfortable and safer.

Before actual operation, it is necessary to conduct "speed testing" on the test line by conducting comprehensive demonstration tests of the entire line and completing full-scale system coupling integration verification to ensure that the high-speed speeding car is safe on the road, travels at high speed, and operates smoothly.

In the future, high-speed flying cars are expected to form a national three-dimensional transportation trunk network together with high-speed trains and airplanes, which will be of great significance for connecting the "Central Shanxi City Group", creating the country's "one-hour economic circle", and even connecting various cities.

It is worth mentioning that high-speed flying cars are theoretically safer than high-speed trains, airplanes and cars. First of all, it has a fixed and fully enclosed orbit, which is not easily disturbed by other things and will not be disturbed by wind speed in nature. Secondly, it has a straight track, so vehicles do not need to turn. Third, with magnetic levitation drive, there will be no friction and oscillation between wheels and rails like trains or high-speed rails, and the mechanical failure rate is small.


China will build the world's first hyper-high-speed rail, and are there any candidate routes in Guangzhou-Shenzhen? Speed may reach 4,000 kilometers per hourIs China realizing Musk’s vision? Shanghai and Hangzhou will build the world's first hyper-high-speed rail with a speed of 1,000 kilometers per hourThe construction of the vacuum pipeline for the hyperloop speed test of breaking 1,000 kilometers per hour or starting within two years has begun

China is the country of future. How many average people can ride on an aircraft carrier or a 5-gen fighter jet? yet in China average population enjoy world top class subway, high speed rail and other superb public facilities on daily basis.
 
Why dont US use this technology ? i thought US is the superpower and top of the line technological country second only to india ?

Because we aren't a 3rd world country where you can just grab thousands of miles of open farmland from peasants for peanuts. Due to refrigeration we consolidated much of our farmland to the central states and went on a building spree in areas that were once farmland.

This the main problem for the US: expensive houses in areas that were once farmlands

Versus China which still had farmland throughout the country.

You'd have to compensate everybody who owns homes between destinations and that would be absurdly expensive.

Plus we already had a period where people loved to ride trains...but after WW2 it waned as the car and airplanes became popular.


Plus it would just be more infrastructure that nobody wants anymore (like dense cities).
Even China with its large population can't keep its HSR in the black

What an excuse! Got to give the reward to you..

And tell me how you think I'm wrong...let's hear it..you are just ignorant of history and reality.

Keep this forced reroute 50 years ago in mind as an example of what they will face:
tooExpensiveToBuyPeopleOutInThe1960s.png

They couldn't build a highway through the Boston Metro area in the 1950's/1960's because there were too many people with money and expensive property to fight/payoff. They had to use an old existing zigzagging curving road that looped around between things.

Now you think with all the $BILLIONS in suburban housing built across the country since the 1950's it will be EASIER????

They would have to deal with an exponentially more difficult problem as the housing property I posted didn't even exist in the 1950's.
:coffee:

..and when people don't agree to sell in China their government sends thugs to beat them into signing.

--------------------------------

Plus I'd like to say when Elon Musk mentioned hyperloop years ago the Chinese here immediately thought it was stupid.

My reply was basically "everything is considered stupid when the Chinese don't have it"..but when they do it suddenly becomes "cutting edge and brilliant".

Apparently, US hyperloop companies want to test and build the hyperloops in India instead of US, ha ha.

Indian 2-rupee per post trolls arriving in 3, 2, 1...... :p:

Where do you live dude?

In California, there are vegetable and strawberry farms even in Los Angeles Five County area, which is the most heavily urbanized area since the 1800's.

This sounds like sour grapes to me.

Elon Musk has been testing hyperloops in LA (and now outside Austin, TX) for a long while, no go for now. ETA 2030. They also tested in Vegas.

It's the lobbying by the wealthy that's impeding the progress. It's money, Stupid. In the 1960's, the state hwy 7 got a plan to extend from Long Beach all the way to Pasadena in the LA metro. But the extension got rejected repeatedly by residents in the wealthy city South Pasadena. Influence, under the table deals, compromises( = corruptions in the form of quid pro quo). The common folks had to bear through decades of traffic jams on Fremont and everywhere near it. It's not because the federal or state government doesn't have the money to buy the properties. It's influence. This means CORRUPTION. Don't f**king tell those people stuck in the traffic for half a century there's no need to build the freeway and roads. If you do, you're just pathetic and cowardly and serving your a** for the rich and powerful.

The same can be said about a lot of infrastructure in the nation, including the rail systems, roads, transformers, power plants, water treatment plants, etc. etc. You'd be lying if you say Americans don't need these. Here in LA the power went down a dozen times a year due to whatever Edison says.. rolling blackouts, transformers blown, fuse blown, tower crash, wind, God's will, fire, water, lightning, a snake got thrown on the line by an eagle, a dead rat... All these in one of the top five regions of the nation in GDP. Man, this ain't a third world shit hole, no?

Elon Musk just stated for the record America will be in trouble because of the lack of transformers (or new ones).

Now back to the need of high-speed rails. LA-SF can surely use one, as would LA-Vegas also. There could be many needs in the East Coast for thousands of flights get cancelled EVERY F YEAR due to blizzard and 10's of 1000's travelers would get stuck in the airports. How about a high-speed rail between NYC and DC? One between NYC and Chicago?

The Chinese thought hyperloop was stupid? More like the Americans (just you and those that rather support Israel's baby killings than putting money into building America) are in denial -- sourly and bitterly, because they don't know how to build one.
