Chinese Military Achieves Breakthrough in Laser Weapon Technology, Paving the Way for Indefinite Firing Capabilities

The Chinese military claims to have developed a cooling system that would allow high-energy lasers to remain powered up indefinitely without overheating, potentially surpassing similar projects attempted by the United States. The cooling system uses gas to remove excess heat, enabling precise laser beams to be maintained without losing power or becoming distorted.

However, the claims should be viewed with caution until the system is demonstrated.
