Eastward Transmission of Twin Towers
Between the sea and the heavens, above the ancient city of Quanzhou, twin towers formed by 900 drones emerged from the direction of Quanzhou’s historic twin pagodas, traversing a 2-kilometer-wide strait. This "Eastward Transmission" bridged time and space in homage to history.
✨
Evolution of Light
1,100 drones transformed into twin towers embodying 1,100 years of history. As they ignited layers of silver fountain fireworks, they morphed into crystalline towers of light before transforming into "space rockets" soaring toward the cosmos.
This drone performance was a groundbreaking achievement in the field of large-scale, multi-type heterogeneous drone systems, executed across a long-distance sea crossing under complex environmental conditions. The collaborative heterogeneous flight placed extremely high demands on the drone ground station communication system.
💡
Technological Breakthrough
The performance premiered the Dual-Ignition Firework Control Technology for Drones, allowing audiences to experience the resonance of technology and art firsthand, merging history with the future.
During their return journey, the drones transformed the night sky into a canvas of science fiction and fantasy, creating a meteor shower that cascaded back to Earth, symbolizing hope and origin, and returning to their starting point.
