"The most powerful weapon for humans to fight against diseases is science and technology, and human beings cannot overcome major disasters without scientific development and technological innovation." General Secretary Xi Jinping's important conclusions and China's exploration and practice of effectively responding to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic have mutually confirmed and fully demonstrated : Human and virus contest, must be "technical weapon". The "hard core" force of China's science and technology is particularly dazzling in the people's war, the overall war, and the war of prevention and control of the epidemic, which effectively demonstrates China's reserve strength of key core technologies in some fields and the profound accumulation of science and technology for a long time.
Since the outbreak, China has isolated and identified virus strains for the first time and shared the whole genome sequence of the virus with the World Health Organization; launched a variety of test reagent products in stages for the national "revealing list"; quickly screened effective drugs and treatment programs, recommended To the clinical first-line treatment. Just recently, the first batch of new coronary pneumonia vaccines in China started clinical trials, and we have taken another important step towards completely defeating this virus. In addition to the "main battlefield" of the "epidemic", new products such as AI temperature measurement systems, intelligent robots, and current limit warning platforms help to resume work and production, to various new services of smart agriculture to ensure the smooth development of spring farming, and then to " "Cloud signing" and other new ways to change business operations from "face-to-face" to "screen-to-screen" ... With the comprehensive "escort" of science and technology, even in the face of the epidemic, China's economic and social operations have always followed the "travel key" and continue Accumulate power and vitality for better development.
This is the "epidemic" force of Chinese science and technology. Where does this power come from?
The strength comes from the great advantages of the new nationwide system. Tackling key core technologies requires the co-ordination and coordination of multiple fields, multiple resources, and multiple forces. It requires effective organization and effective guidance, and even the promotion of the whole country. In response to the epidemic, cross-disciplinary and cross-scientific research teams across the country were quickly established. Scientific research, clinical, prevention and control cooperated with each other. All parties in the industry, academia and research worked closely together to achieve positive progress in the short term, providing The strong scientific and technological support is another vivid practice in China's exploration and improvement of the new nationwide system.
The strength comes from the continuous deepening of the reform of the scientific and technological system. In recent years, China has implemented an innovation-driven development strategy and continuously improved its policy system to support scientific and technological innovation, especially in strengthening the construction of major scientific and technological infrastructure and optimizing the innovation ecology. A series of efforts to strengthen the foundation, eliminate obstructions and increase vitality Recruiting one after another has made China's technological innovation capability and efficiency significantly improved. This is also an important reason why the science and technology front has the ability to respond quickly and achieve breakthroughs in this epidemic.
The power comes from our huge domestic market. The huge domestic market is the source of power for technological innovation and the "touchstone" and "grinding stone" of various scientific and technological achievements. The huge technological demand released by it can effectively reduce the cost of technology research and development, and provide space for various new technologies and new products to be widely applied and upgraded. At present, some traditional industries have been hit by the epidemic, but emerging industries such as smart manufacturing, unmanned distribution, and online consumption have shown strong growth potential. A large number of new products, new formats, and new models based on new technologies are accelerating into people ’s vision and development. The application not only enriches the technical reserves in various fields, but also makes China's scientific and technological accumulation deeper.
Practice has proved that the more faced with major risks and challenges related to national security and development and the overall stability of the economy and society, the more we must insist on asking for answers and methods from science, the more we must rely on the strong support of scientific and technological forces. In view of the shortcomings exposed in this epidemic, especially in the deficiencies in promoting scientific development and technological innovation, we must pay close attention to making up for shortcomings, plugging loopholes, and strengths and weaknesses. It is necessary to constantly improve the new nationwide system of key core technological breakthroughs, and better utilize the advantages of the new nationwide system under the market economy; accelerate the deployment of scientific research forces in areas such as population health and biosecurity, and fill the shortcomings of China's high-end medical equipment; Determination and efforts to deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system, fully stimulate the innovation and creativity of scientific and technological personnel, and increase the supply of innovation at the source; further expand open cooperation in the field of science and technology, and more widely gather innovation resources in all fields, especially to strengthen antiviral drugs and International cooperation in vaccine R & D and other aspects, sharing the experience of combating "epidemic disease" with relevant countries, and making China's contribution to scientific research on global epidemic prevention and control.
