  1. In fact, in addition to bandits, there were also clans fighting with those people in other family names from neighbouring villages. And actually, this is the most often reason for the fights. In some places in the eastern part of our province, this kind of thing has been happening until now. There are all sorts of reasons for a fight: it can be water from a farm field, a tree at a junction, or children from two villages fighting. Yeah, it never ends well… Against bandits? Of course it can and is one of the reasons for building it. But what if I tell you that actually many of them are the home of the bandits - When they are in these round houses they are innocent villagers, when they are out of these round houses, they are bandits. Add: Door locks have already existed for more than 2000 years in this country. And this round fortress, around 1000 years.
  2. I have about 120 hours of playtime in this game. I rated it passable, but could have done better. Such as those DLCs (Oh wait I’m talking about Total War. Koei’s three kingdoms… well… literally only for fun)
  3. Have to say there's also a serious lack of computer games about ancient/modern China and Chinese people. You know, letting those teens sit down and read a book and understand them in depth is really unimaginable these days. I myself have never been to LA and Chicago, but thanks to the GTA and Watch Dogs...
  4. The engines of the Tianzhou were ignited to adjust the orbital altitude of the CSS. In preparation for the launch of Shenzhou-17 at the end of this month. Without considering any reasonableness and what those new science modules will be designed, this is what it will look like if all the docking ports are used after the second phase of CSS's construction: Source
  5. In the late Qing Dynasty, there was a ruling regime called the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Their leaders claimed to be the second son of God and the brother of Jesus. And "thanks" to China's 19th-century history of been invaded, their leader, Hong Xiuquan's dragon robe is now in the British Museum. So, once I went to the British Museum with two other non-Chinese classmates of mine. And then saw this robe. -Hey Steve, what's that? The cloth of the Qing Emperor? -Ah nope, Jesus's brother's -Are you ** serious? *Innocent stares*
  6. With all due respect, I think anyone in this forum could be put in a time machine and go back there and write a (or even some) more interesting story than this.
  7. Hey you! What you looking at? No photos allowed here!
  8. On 8 Oct. 1956, China's first missile and rocket research institute, the Fifth Research Institute of the Ministry of Defence, was established. It marked the first step of China's space program. It was also the predecessor of CASC (China Aerospace Science and Technology), which was reorganized on 1 July 1999. Happy 67th Birthday to the China Space Program! https://x.com/CNSpaceflight/status/1711024277078880735?s=20
  9. American one sounds like “reasonable wild” (usually) to me but Australia one… Outside of Australia it won't make any sense instead it's especially important in Australia. For example, an Australian farmer's wife wrote to Ford in 1932, “We need a car that is decent enough to drive us to church in style on Sundays, and practical enough to take our pigs to the market on Mondays.” Then they have UTE. Not to mention their road train. It couldn't be more interesting to see how different manufacturers build different versions of a car to suit local "unique consumer tastes".
  10. Watch a video introducing the car culture in Australia. If I had to sum it up in just one word, I think I'd say "wild".
  11. https://x.com/AJ_FI/status/1709525962730135938?s=20 The exact programme for the CZ-9 rocket should still be under debate
  12. Hainan Commercial Launch Site: the rotating platforms completed the rotation test.
  13. You can't have a science news thread without Nobel Prize news! The Nobel Prize in Physics 2023 was awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier "for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter" The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2023 was awarded jointly to Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman "for their discoveries concerning nucleoside base modifications that enabled the development of effective mRNA vaccines against COVID-19"
  14. Nature Reviews Chemistry: Modern chemistry is rubbish Although it's about something environmental protection but have to say, the author really knows how to engage the reader Xinhua: Chinese scientists collect snow, ice samples from Mt. Cho Oyu for 1st time China's FAST telescope discovers 76 new faint pulsars
  15. https://x.com/CNSpaceflight/status/1708716511706460321?s=20 At this forum, CNSA shared some interesting details about the Chang'e-8 payloads And some perspectives on the future of Queqiao the signal relay system.
  16. Which places did you need them to point out from the map? When I was in senior high, our teacher just let us point out those Latin American countries. Similar results lol
  17. Because I personally couldn't resist the temptation of my friends buying me dinner and a drink or something, well, I'm stuck outside again. I don't even know where so many people came from.
  18. Great big news for the sea launch - the sea launch platform just launched. It can support both solid and liquid fuel rockets. And with autonomous navigation and unmanned function, equipped with DP2 power positioning system to maintain the accuracy of the launch point position. https://x.com/CNSpaceflight/status/1708350436443578483?s=20 btw, happy birthday PRC!
  19. Actually, I read this and changed the name on the phone outside. Have to say, thanks to their special love for putting RGB LEDs on somewhere strange, my first glance at that was NARGB... Sorry Kim
  20. Hey look, guess who got stuck on the highway for 5 hours? Oh wait, that's me aha!
  21. The traditional festivals of Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day coincidentally “connected” this year. So from tomorrow there’s going to have 8 days holiday Hooray!
