The flash iron making method, as detailed by Professor Zhang Wenhai and his team in a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Nonferrous Metals last month, can complete the iron making process in just three to six seconds, compared to the five to six hours required by traditional blast furnaces.

journal title you had one job

I thought this from the article was interesting as well. didn't realize it was quite that high:
Chinas steel production capacity already exceeds the combined output of the rest of the world

I foresee this new process resulting in a weaker overall version of iron.

Wonder what the cost is. Inventing a process doesn't mean it scales, and iron has got to be low margin enough that even a minor increase in manufacturing costs, especially power and heat generation, could make the time save a waste of money.

And that assumes the process doesn't produce brittle iron or some other compromise to the structural integrity.

I think I've seen this one before - does it end with the US panicking and pouring billions into R&D to compete before learning the other guy was lying but the US ends up developing the tech for real?

The tech was actually first developed in the US over a decade ago. These Chinese researchers bought the patent back in 2013.

Probably tech from the recovered alien ships they have.

They also have mining lasers from aliens that can mine the minerals out of rocks without breaking into them.

This is according to the ufos sub reddit.
