China has recently built the world's first civilian low-frequency high-power electromagnetic wave launching station, with a detection radius of thousands of kilometers and a detection depth of ten kilometers, which can be used for earthquake prediction, according to Xinhua News Agency.
The project was advanced without similar foreign projects for reference, forming a high-signal-to-noise ultra-low frequency electromagnetic wave signal source that can cover Chinese territory and territorial waters.
In addition to being the world's first civilian low-frequency high-power electromagnetic wave transmitting station, the project also built the first seismic monitoring network that can receive artificial and natural source low-frequency electromagnetic signals at the southern end of the capital circle and the north-south seismic belt.
The extremely low frequency data engineering center established by it has built a high-performance data computing and shared service platform for resource detection, earthquake prediction and other cutting-edge technology research.
In addition, it has also carried out exploratory scientific experimental research on earthquake prediction and underground minerals, oil and gas resources exploration, and continental shelf exploration, and has made many breakthroughs, providing advanced scientific research in related fields such as "deep ground, deep sea, and deep space" New technological means and platforms.
"The acceptance of the project marks the birth of another innovative scientific platform in China," said the relevant person in charge of the Seventh Research Institute of China Shipbuilding Corporation, which is in charge of the project.
He said that extremely low frequency electromagnetic waves can penetrate thicker strata and deeper seawater and can be used for research and application in the fields of stratum structure, detection of underground resources and seabed resources, and earthquake prediction. Therefore, the results obtained by the project have great strategic significance.
