For example, Chinese designers are close to creating a walking armored personnel carrier, which will have to “run” through the mountains. Tests of such machines are already scheduled to be conducted in the Himalayas.
People during the development of civilization once came up with a wheel, however, for all its uniqueness and speed (speed record cars on wheels is 1228 kilometers per hour), it has significant disadvantages – poor off-road patency. Not by chance in G.Wales’s science fiction novel “War of the Worlds” appears more advanced walking Martian technique.
It seems that humanity has already reached that point of technical development when walking platforms will gradually begin to replace wheeled. Firstly, in nature there is no wheel, and the same leopard develops fantastic cross-country speed on four paws – that is, he does not need an even concrete for this road. Of course, today scientists are just starting to create such technology, and it will naturally have limited demand (in mainly in space research and for military purposes), but as some far-sighted techniques claim platform is the future. And life, by the way, only confirms that everything (or almost all) fantasies of science fiction sooner or later become reality … what is designed by scientists floating town.
