Some Drones Carry Bombs. These Carry Hope

Drones often make headlines as weapons of war. But in China, they are being used to carry hope.

During the floods in Guangxi, southern China, they became lifesavers.

· They searched for stranded residents.

· They delivered food, medicine and emergency supplies.

· They lifted people from flooded rooftops when rescue boats couldn't reach them.

· They restored mobile networks, reconnecting isolated communities with the outside world.

· They cut rescue trips from hours to just minutes.

They are also reaching new scientific frontiers. DJI's new EV50 cargo drone recently reached 8,861 meters during a Mount Qomolangma scientific expedition.

The same technology that can carry bombs can also carry food, medicine, communications equipment, and hope. The true value of technology isn't measured by the damage it can cause, but by the lives it can protect.
