The new invention uses a ground-based heavy payload ground vehicle, trailer, or fixed ground station to deliver agriculture chemical, power and control signals to a hinged, ground-mounted, lightweight propeller lift, boom truss module using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) technology to unload and suspend multiple boom truss modules, extending out to cover a large spray area. This is the newest, most practical invention that is low cost and easy to use. The total weight of each suspension boom truss modules is less than 10 kilograms and can be completely unloaded by motor-driven propellers. The suspended boom truss module is hinged on the ground vehicle, trailer or ground station. It is not necessary to apply for a flight permit from the FAA. In the field, the propeller and toxic pesticides are fixed on the suspension boom truss module and hazards can be controlled to a minimum for personnel safety.

1. A high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system comprising: one or more boom truss modules;a plurality of nozzles for spraying attached to the one or more boom truss modules;a high powered motor;one or more propellers;a ground vehicle or a trailer;a liquid pump; anda plurality of link assemblies configured to link the one or more boom truss modules;wherein the one or more boom truss modules are configured to be suspended in air and is configured to be lifted by the one or more propellers driven by the high powered motor so that the one or more boom truss modules are lifted at a predetermined spray height;wherein an end of a selected boom truss module of the one or more boom truss modules is linked to the ground vehicle or the trailer;wherein liquid chemical is delivered by the liquid pump;wherein the ground vehicle or the trailer supplies continuous power and control signals to the one or more propellers so as to operate the one or more boom truss modules in a zero gravity condition in which a total weight of the one or more boom truss modules, the plurality of link assemblies, the plurality of nozzles, the high powered motor, and a portion of the liquid chemical is overcome by a total lifting force of the one or more propellers; andwherein the high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system is configured to allow continuous spraying operation. 2. The high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system as described in claim 1, wherein the one or more boom truss modules are made of lightweight carbon fiber tubing, carbon fiber composite material, fiberglass tubing, fiberglass composite material, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, or light-weight wood. 3. The high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system as described in claim 1, wherein lift power is provided by the high-powered motor driving the one or more propellers allowing unloading and suspending the one or more boom truss modules at the predetermined spray height; wherein rotation of the one or more propellers are driven by a brushless or brushed high-powered motor, a light piston engine, or a small turbine engine; and wherein the high-powered motor and the brushless or brushed high-powered motor are powered or fueled by the ground vehicle or the trailer. 4. The high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system as described in claim 3, wherein a ground control system controls the total lifting force of the one or more propellers and tilts a tension line of the one or more propellers to provide forward or backward force. 5. The high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system as described in claim 4, wherein each boom truss module of the one or more boom truss modules is paired with a respective front propeller of the one or more propellers and a respective rear propeller of the one or more propellers; and wherein a rotational speed of the one or more propellers is adjusted by the ground control system so that a motion of the one or more boom truss modules follows the ground vehicle or the trailer. 6. The high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system as described in claim 5 further comprising a lift source containing a hydrogen or helium balloon and a horizontally placed motorized propeller. 7. The high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system as described in claim 1, wherein the one or more boom truss modules are configured to be connected, folded, collapsed, unfolded, or unloaded. 8. The high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system as described in claim 7, wherein the plurality of link assemblies connect adjacent boom truss modules of the one or more boom truss modules; and wherein folding and extension of the one or more boom truss modules are controlled by an electric motor and an air cylinder drive gear. 9. The high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system as described in claim 7, wherein the plurality of nozzels are controlled by an electronic valve to regulate spray volume and wherein electronic valve is controlled by a ground station computer system that uses data from aerial photographs to quantitatively implement precise spraying. 10. The high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system as described in claim 7, wherein after the one or more boom truss modules extending outward, the one or more boom truss modules are configured to move forward on both sides of the ground vehicle or the trailer. 11. The high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system as described in claim 1, wherein the one or more boom truss modules are characterized by: a stored condition in which the one or more boom truss modules are aligned along a longitudinal direction of the ground vehicle or the trailer; andan expanded condition in which the one or more boom truss modules are extended along a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the ground vehicle or the trailer. 12. The high-strength lightweight boom truss combination module system as described in claim 1, wherein the one or more boom truss modules are characterized by: a stored condition in which the one or more boom truss modules are aligned along a vertical direction away from a top side of the ground vehicle or the trailer; andan expanded condition in which the one or more boom truss modules are extended along a lateral direction perpendicular to the vertical direction.
