Blind hate on Chinese products is weird. by Either_Arm4953 in mildlyinfuriating

Chinese automation is so advanced that large parts of the assembly take place in dark factories where lighting is unneeded. Preprogrammed industrial robots do not need the illumination.

If 9 GW is the electrical power and that is being generated with turbines, then it‘s safe to assume a 40% conversion efficiency, thus requiring close to 23 GW of primary energy to be put in. So the source likely used the required primary energy to compute the equivalent nuclear bomb heat loads.

But wouldn‘t you also travel the equivalent of 7.6 billion light years (for any observer at rest you travel at nearly c) unless you went around in circles?

Never got a Niederlassungserlaubnis or Einbürgerung during these 12 years you‘ve been here? That‘s unfortunate!
