The skies of Liuyang, in central China's Hunan province, were illuminated by a record-breaking drone and fireworks show on October 17, an event that drew millions of spectators both in-person and online. During the city's famous fireworks festival, two Guinness World Records were set: one for “the most drones launched simultaneously by a single computer,” and another for “the largest drone formation flight carrying the most fireworks.”
The first launch involved a simultaneous launch of 15,947 drones from a single computer. The second record was achieved with a total of 7,496 drones carrying fireworks. The show itself was a collaboration between Shenzhen's Gaoju Innovation and the local fireworks makers of Liuyang.
During the performance, thousands of drones formed a gigantic “Sky Tree” that shone brilliantly in the night sky before the fireworks at the bottom of the formation were set off, bearing a close resemblance to sprites. While Liuyang hosts fireworks displays every Saturday evening, this record-setting event stood out from the rest.

I have always been fascinated by technology and digital devices my entire life and even got addicted to it. I have always marveled at the intricacy of even the simplest digital devices and systems around us. I have been writing and publishing articles online for about 6 years now, just about a year ago, I found myself lost in the marvel of smartphones and laptops we have in our hands every day. I developed a passion for learning about new devices and technologies that come with them and at some point, I asked myself, "Why not get into writing tech articles?" It is useless to say I followed up the idea — it is evident. I am an open-minded individual who derives an infinite amount of joy from researching and discovering new information, I believe there is so much to learn and such a short life to live, so I put my time to good use — learning new things. I am a 'bookworm' of the internet and digital devices. When I am not writing, you will find me on my devices still, I do explore and admire the beauty of nature and creatures. I am a fast learner and quickly adapt to changes, always looking forward to new adventures.
