China rolled out a maglev train prototype with a designed speed of 620 km/h on Wednesday, which is the world's first vehicle using the high-temperature superconducting (HTS) maglev technology, according to its developers.

The domestically developed prototype and a 165-meter maglev test track were unveiled by researchers at Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

At the launch ceremony, the 21-meter-long silver-and-black locomotive was seen floating slowly along the track. Experts hailed it as a "zero to one" breakthrough in the country's development of HTS technology.

With an investment of 60 million yuan ($9.3 million), the HTS maglev project was jointly developed by Southwest Jiaotong University, China Railway Group Limited and CRRC Corporation Limited.

The “super bullet” train is designed to have a speed of 620km/h, developed using a linear acceleration system based on high-temperature superconductors (HTSs).

If these speeds can be achieved in practice, the train would be the fastest commercial transport vehicle in the world.

620km/hr my Lamborghini Aventador can't do that..

but what china no sell us this type?!

na their used/refurbished our basterrd minister bought for Nigeria at the price of new one and be bragging.

Why not?

They don't tolerate corruption like Nigeria na

ochuski:
See what dey have yet dey gave us junks

They gave us what we asked for.

Explorers:


They gave us what we asked for.

and what we can afford

shogz89:
and what we can afford

I believe we can afford it, but some people will rather share 60% of the project cost among themselves.

Beautiful!

Welcome back explorers.

And zombies are busy celebrating crap called Buhari train

good one, i like technology

China and technology
5&6

Explorers:

We can't.....we are only managing 5000MW at the moment.....this will require something on a grand scale

And see what we're getting
Government una see una life

Nigeria sef

Nice one chinko

It just beat my imagination to see china, the poverty capital of the world some 30 yrs ago achieving this amazing feat.

Nigeria which way

I still find it hard to believe that Nigerians underrate the level of advancement of the Chinese people, they produce virtually everything and even things we are yet to use due to our level of development as a nation and people as those things won't fit in our society.. The road network is just too solid, that a farm produce can get moving from one extreme of the country to another under 24hrs and adding this new train when it is finally completed will work wonders..
I love seeing documentaries on the chinese, and I must say I am always wowed by their level of invention which in turn makes life easy for them in all ramifications...

600km per hour is equivalent to traveling from Lagos to East in one hour.


If this is replicated in Nigeria.I will live in my village and be working in Lagos.

Thought I am the only one on this table. It is only a matter of time before China take over from the USA as the world power. Just watch

Olohun, We can afford anything once the animalistic behaviours among the leaders and the larger part of the society is eliminated....

Food, Sex and Ogogoro-Beer can not build train !!

Explorers:


They gave us what we asked for.

The cheapest by cost and expensive on paper

Explorers:


They gave us what we asked for.

100% correct!!!

While Nigerian Government keep on ordering for relics!

I believe they are already the world power, and just being calculative by not admitting.. Trump didn't challenge economically them for fun's sake..
