At the exhibition of China's civil products with military technologies, the model of "the 981 drilling platform" is attracting many visitors.
The actual drilling platform, the first of its kind independently designed and constructed by China, is 45-stories high and can take on board a load of up to 9,000 tonnes.
Li Zhong, a representative from the China State Shipbuilding Corporation, which is behind the research and development of the drilling platform, says the project incorporated key technologies of military vessels1.
"981 Drilling Platform has an annual output equivalent to that of Daqing Oilfield. It is designed according to the features of the South China Sea. It can withstand huge waves, tides and undercurrents. Technologies in building military vessels are used to increase the platform's stability."
Military technologies are also used in everyday products.
A security device displayed at the exhibition can conduct noncontact security inspection2 on people and their belongings3.
Liu Hang from the China Electronics Group Corporation- the inventor of the device, says the most distinct feature of the product is that it is completely radiation-free.
"This security device is very safe and can passively receive the terahertz radiated from human bodies. So it is non-radioactive and can be used widely in airports, stadiums and exhibition halls. It can also be used for counter-terrorism operations."
Meanwhile, the information technology sector4 also sees an increasing number of military-turn-civilian5 products.
The China North Industries Corporation brings "Beidou Intelligence Navigation System" to the exhibition.
Combining the technologies in "Beidou Satellite Navigation System" and "military transportation of dangerous chemicals", the system not only offers customers more detailed6 information on temperatures and humidity, it can also guide vehicles or travellers even without cellphone signals.
Qian Songcan from the China North Industries Corporation explains the functions of the system:
"'Beidou Intelligence Navigation System' can be applied7 to civilian products. For example, armored cash carriers, tourist buses or travellers can use the system to connect with our urban integrated management system. By doing so they can be monitored and rescued."
Other products at the exhibition include the Chang'e lunar probe, the Long March-5 carrier rocket, and China's manned deep-sea submersible Jiaolong.
The exhibition runs till Sunday.
