Striding Toward a Technological Powerhouse Nation

      "Artificial sun" has repeatedly set records, laying a solid foundation for the development of nuclear fusion energy; With the advent of HarmonyOS computer, our country has since had an independent and controllable computer operating system from the kernel layer; Humanoid robots such as "Tiangong" and "Yushu" have accelerated iteration, showing considerable prospects in the fields of industrial manufacturing and commercial services......

      Scientific and technological achievements continue to emerge, new quality productivity is accelerated, and major breakthroughs have injected strong momentum into high-quality economic and social development.

      General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation are the basic paths for the development of new quality productive forces. "We must deeply implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country with talents, and the innovation-driven development strategy, improve the national innovation system, accelerate the construction of a scientific and technological power, and achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement."

      Thoroughly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, accelerate the pace of innovation in all regions and departments, promote the seamless connection between the innovation chain and the industrial chain, and strive to transform scientific and technological achievements into tangible productivity. The innovation-driven "China" ship is riding the wind and waves in the new era and striding towards the goal of becoming a scientific and technological power.

      Continue to strengthen basic research and increase the supply of high-quality science and technology——

      The sound of the discharge crackled, and a bright arc flashed in the air at high speed. In the lab, cutting-edge discharge equipment is simulating the generation of harmful arcs.

      The Brain-like Computing Research Center of Tsinghua University has independently developed the brain-like complementary vision chip "Tianmu Core" based on primitive representation to help accurately capture the arc. Researchers can clearly "see" the arc evolution trajectory through the display screen, accurately record the dynamic evolution process, and provide data support for power fault diagnosis and safety assessment.

      "Even in low-bandwidth, low-power environments, the chip can achieve high-speed, high-precision, and high-dynamic range visual information collection, meeting the ultimate visual requirements of some industry scenarios." Shi Luping, a professor at Tsinghua University, said that he and his team are carrying out chip performance verification on on-board platforms, industrial robots and other equipment, and strive to serve all walks of life as soon as possible.

      Scientific and technological innovation can give birth to new industries, new models and new kinetic energy. our country has accelerated the improvement of scientific and technological innovation capabilities and opened up new fields and new tracks for development. In 2024, the whole society will invest more than 3.6 trillion yuan in research and experimental development, of which 249.7 billion yuan will be spent on basic research, accounting for 6.91%.

      Accelerate the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure and promote the continuous conversion of old and new kinetic energy——

      At 3 a.m., the continuous casting and pouring platform of Baosteel Co., Ltd.'s steel mill in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province was busy. Worker Zou Shiwen sat in the central control room, checking the real-time production pictures and data flow on the screen, and busy in the position of the steelworker were his "apprentices" - two six-axis steel pouring robots.

      In 2022, Meigang will carry out intelligent transformation, independently develop and apply "continuous casting production whole process automation technology", and realize the one-click automation of the whole process of continuous casting and pouring, casting process, cutting and blank operation.

      "The application end of this technology consists of an artificial intelligence automatic steel pouring model and a steel pouring robot. The worker's experience is learned by the model to keep the robot in top condition. Zhu Jianqiu, head of the planning department of Meigang Steel, said that the production system transmits instructions to the model through the 5G network, and the "smart brain" automatically makes analysis and judgment, and then directs two robots to complete the process. After the technology was put into operation, the product accuracy was increased by 20%, the production efficiency increased by 10%, and the energy consumption per ton of steel decreased by 24%.

      In the first half of this year, the added value of our country's high-tech manufacturing industry above designated size increased by 9.5% year-on-year, and the added value of information transmission, software and information technology services increased by 11.1% year-on-year.

      Build a platform, improve the system and mechanism, and strengthen the main position of enterprise innovation——

      The single crystal of Gallium Oxide developed by Zhejiang Hangzhou Fujia Gallium Technology Co., Ltd. grows at a high temperature of 1800 degrees Celsius. As a representative of the fourth generation of new semiconductor materials, Gallium Oxide has great potential in the field of high-power power electronic devices and ultraviolet detection devices with its advantages such as ultra-wide bandgap and ultra-low loss.

      At the end of 2019, Fujia Gallium was officially established. In the context of the late start of domestic Gallium Oxide single crystal industrialization and little experience to learn from, start-up teams have faced both technical and talent difficulties.

      At the critical moment, with the help of the platform of Hangzhou Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Fujia Gallium has achieved rapid growth. Qi Hongji, founder of Fujia Gallium, was deeply moved: "The proof-of-concept center of the institute provides sample performance testing services for key equipment such as open Hall effect testing systems and X-ray diffractometers for enterprises, realizing rapid iterative feedback on material research and saving 1 to 2 years for industrialization."

      Looking at the whole country, many places have provided all-round and full-cycle support for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements through the construction of carrying parks and proof-of-concept platforms. In 2024, there will be 1,606 national science and technology business incubators.

      At present, the basic institutional framework of scientific and technological innovation in our country has been basically established, and the overall efficiency of the national innovation system has been further improved. Let scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation go in both directions, and new economic momentum will continue to grow, adding impetus and vitality to further deepening reform in an all-round way.
