Talk about snow goals! ❄️ Over 1,200 students and faculty at Harbin Engineering University just engineered the coolest winter project – a 230-meter snow replica of China's Fujian aircraft carrier, complete with three fighter jets. And here's the kicker: They used China's homegrown BeiDou satellite system to achieve centimeter-level precision in their frosty masterpiece! 🛰️
The team braved -20°C temperatures to map the carrier's outline using real-time positioning tech, proving that STEM skills can create literal chill art. 🧊 The project went viral on Douyin as locals dubbed it 'The Great Wall of Winter' – though this icy marvel only lasted until the next snowfall. ☃️
This isn't just snow play – it's a tech flex showcasing BeiDou's civilian applications. As one student told us: 'We wanted to celebrate China's engineering marvels… with a twist that even Elsa would approve!' ❄️👷♀️
