📡 China detects secret US radar signals in Pacific, world's oldest intact penis reveals sex secrets, Saudi to house world's largest solar microgrid

China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has announced that it has detected what appears to be coordinated radar signals across the Pacific Ocean. Using a new artificial intelligence (AI), the signals have been found in the South China Sea, Guam, the Marshall Islands, and Alaska.

According to the PLA, the characteristics of the signals appear to suggest “tactical coordination” from radar installations in these areas. While they did disclose which nation or nations operate the radar systems, the locations would strongly suggest the United States. For more on this development, check out our Must-Read.

📡 AI detects US spy radars speaking to each other in South China Sea, claims PLA

According to the South China Morning Post (SCMP), this is the first time the PLA has publicly announced electronic warfare intelligence of this kind. It is also the first time they have publicly announced they have such capabilities.

If true, such coordination between radar monitoring stations would be expected as Washington would find such information of great interest. For example, detecting and monitoring Chinese military assets goings-on would be key to its efforts to contain Chinese aggression in the region.

China’s naval and air forces have expanded their operational range in the Pacific from the South China Sea to Alaska and the US territory of Guam. This area is a key location on the “second island chain” under Washington’s strategy to contain China.

🦀 World’s oldest penis: 425-million-year-old crab fossil reveals ancient sex secrets

The oldest penis in the world, as it turns out, belongs to an ancient crustacean astonishingly well-preserved in volcanic ash 425 million years ago that might anatomically teach us that sex and breathing are pretty closely related.

More spectacularly, the ostracod, a class of crustaceans that has survived the test of time, shows that the anatomy of this genus hasn’t changed much in an unbelievable amount of time, as per Science. In a world that evolves to survive, in other words, this crustacean opted to stay the same.

At 1 mm long, this tiny crustacean packed a big surprise. Not only did he discover an impossibly intact and ancient fossil but a penis, a rare feature as soft tissue, which ended up being quite large, up to a third of the animal’s total volume.

☀️ World’s largest solar microgrid to power Saudi Arabia’ Red Sea Project

Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Project is making headlines with the construction of the world’s largest photovoltaic-energy storage microgrid. Featuring a 400MW solar PV system coupled with a 1.3GWh energy storage system, this ambitious project is set to revolutionize sustainable energy solutions in hospitality.

Global technology giant Huawei is at the helm of this groundbreaking venture. The Red Sea Project, spearheaded by Red Sea Global, aims to power a major hospitality destination along the coast of southwestern Tabuk Province.

Covering a vast area of 28,000 square kilometers, this project is poised to redefine the future of clean energy and sustainable tourism.
