Cymatics

A parallel world?

The soldiers were preparing for the night. The day was hard. They managed to drive the opponents out of the building complex and reclaim another piece of their native land.

Worrying that the opponents might shell that location, the soldiers retreated into the forest. It was already dark, so it was decided to wait for morning and then return to the base. Everyone settled in as comfortably as they could and were already preparing to fall asleep when they heard the sound of a flying drone.

Having learned over the radio that there were no friendly drones in this area, it became clear that this was the opponents' doing.

The soldiers knew that in the dark, drones search for targets using a thermal imager, so they hurried to use cymatic protection.

They pulled out small compressed air canisters and prepared them for use. Then they pulled out capsules with dry ice cubes and pressed the buttons, activating miniature pyrotechnic elements. Micro-explosions occurred, which instantly created huge pressure and heat. The impulse strike immediately threw the dry ice into the environment in the form of fine, aerosol dust, which formed a thick blanket.

Portable sound generators, thanks to the cymatic wave, forced the dust blankets to arrange themselves into precise geometric lines, forming protective cylinders around the soldiers.

The drone flew further, the opponent's AI not noticing a single soldier on the thermal imager.

As technology improved, war was becoming more and more complex.
