The Mozi Survey Telescope has recently attained high-frequency monitoring of the Milky Way, achieving an impressive rate of once every minute. This capability has successfully unveiled multiple instances of rare variable stars with swift photometric variations, including pulsating white dwarfs and ellipsoidal white dwarf binaries. Boasting a vast field of view spanning 6.5 square degrees and a state-of-the-art 765 million-pixel camera, the telescope boasts a single-detection limit of 23 magnitudes, positioning it as the foremost optical time-domain survey instrument in the northern hemisphere. Looking ahead, the Mozi Survey Telescope is anticipated to unveil China's inaugural systematic catalog of periodic variable sources and pave the way for groundbreaking discoveries in the realm of time-domain surveys.
