A virtual side-wind tower device has been deployed in Zhangye, Gansu province, to support renewable energy stability. The technology allows for continuous meteorological data collection with a data acquisition rate exceeding 99 percent. Traditional physical wind towers are noted for high costs, long construction cycles, and potential data inaccuracies due to complex terrain. The new virtual devices can be deployed within three months to assist in energy production and scheduling. The wind measurement device utilizes laser reflection frequency changes via a 350-meter high physical tower equipped with 24 side-wind units. The devices utilize a laser generator to reflect off atmospheric aerosols to collect data with a 99 percent acquisition rate.

A new virtual wind measurement device allows for the deployment of wind power plant infrastructure in just three months. Engineers have constructed a 350-meter physical wind tower equipped with 24 sets of side-wind measurement devices. The technology uses laser-based aerosol reflection to achieve a 99 percent data acquisition rate. The system utilizes laser reflection frequency changes to measure wind. The hardware features specialized designs to withstand wind, sand, and extreme temperature fluctuations in field environments. The laser generator is housed within a precision-protected glass window to ensure functionality in outdoor settings.

Researchers have released 200 artificially cultivated Cycas panzhiensis plants into the wild in Funing, Yunnan. Scientists are utilizing molecular identification technology to assist in the recovery of these small populations. Mangrove restoration efforts are also ongoing across Guangdong province. Local villagers in Gula Township, Funing County, have protected over 300 Cycas dubia plants for more than 20 years. The protection began when residents noticed rising water levels in the Gula River affecting plant growth. Lacking specific botanical knowledge at the time, villagers moved the plants to their own land to ensure survival. This spontaneous ecological effort has maintained the grove on a hillside in Gula Township. Residents began moving the plants from the Gu La River banks to their own land to prevent damage from rising water levels.
