China is developing the world's first artificial floating island capable of withstanding nuclear blasts. This 78,000-tonne semi-submersible platform will support 238 people for four months without resupply, withstand extreme weather conditions, and incorporate innovative "metamaterial" technology to convert powerful shocks into manageable forces. While officially designated as a scientific research facility, its military-grade specifications reveal dual-purpose capabilities.
