(Observation of the Two Sessions) To crack the "stuck neck" of technology, you must play three cards well
China News Service, Beijing, March 11 (Reporter Wan Shuyan) At the National Two Sessions this year, the "stuck neck" of science and technology is still a topic widely discussed by delegates.
In recent years, unilateralism and protectionism have been on the rise around the world. How to strengthen national scientific and technological strength, improve scientific and technological innovation capabilities, and solve the problem of "stuck neck" in core and key areas?

First of all, it is necessary to lay a good "basic card" and improve the basic innovation ability.
This year's government work report proposes to "implement a ten-year plan for basic research and strengthen long-term stable support."
Shen Yan, a deputy to the National People's Congress and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, told a reporter from Chinanews.com, "The 'stuck neck' shows that China is still constrained by others in some key technologies, and it needs to improve its scientific and technological innovation capabilities and strengthen basic research. Basic research is divided into basic scientific research. and applied basic research.”
Shen Yan believes that basic scientific research is mainly to understand nature and reveal the essence of objective things, and do some pioneering research work, not for the purpose of application, and the results are mainly presented in scientific papers.
It is recommended to do some small-scale, continuous and stable basic research, and it is not suitable to launch major key projects in the way of large-scale integration.
Huang Zhengren, deputy to the National People's Congress and director of the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that scientific and technological innovation is a systematic project. To strengthen national strategic science and technology, it is necessary to accelerate the construction, reorganization and optimization of a number of national laboratories.
At the same time, it is necessary to clarify which key technologies still have shortcomings, and based on the existing scientific research strength, select the best among the best, and give priority to support.
Secondly, it is necessary to play the "application card" and strengthen the application of high-end domestic products.
Shen Yan said that the state should focus on strengthening applied basic research, strengthening the main role of enterprises in innovation, strengthening policy support, and urging those enterprises that have an important impact on the development of the national economy, pillar and cutting-edge enterprises to put forward technical needs, strengthen research and development efforts, and play an exemplary role.
After encountering problems, scientific researchers will find problems according to their needs, so as to carry out technological transformation or new technological inventions.
Applied basic research can spawn many new industries or upgrade industries.
"Scientific research must be closely combined with demand." Huang Zhengren suggested that the combination of "production, education and research" should be further strengthened, market-oriented, and promote the progress of key core technologies.
"Nowadays, many scientific research institutes' technological breakthroughs are "fragmented" results. It is necessary to better integrate key industries and 'academic research', truly form industrialization, and guide enterprises, especially state-owned enterprises, to become the main force of scientific research."
In addition, Huang Zhengren said that it is necessary to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights.
"If intellectual property protection is not done well, products can easily be copied, and many companies are reluctant to invest heavily in research and development."
Ma Yushan, deputy to the National People's Congress and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, called for more support for domestic core technology products to promote wider application in the market. The key technologies have reached the world's advanced level, and the core technology products must have the courage to use domestic products."
Finally, we must play the "talent card" well, so that talents can be retained, used and developed.
Huang Zhengren suggested that the government should guide the establishment of a good scientific research ecology, advocate a fair and equitable competition mechanism and evaluation system, create a clean and upright scientific research atmosphere, and promote talents to be "global", "cause", and "mind", and truly let talents stay. Only by getting it down and using it can we make China a global talent center and innovation highland, and strive to achieve more breakthroughs from 0 to 1.
Shen Yan believes that it is necessary to innovate the talent management system, so that the young scientific research team has room for improvement, and avoid the phenomenon of "no grass growing under the big tree".
At the same time, it is necessary to establish reasonable evaluation indicators, not guided by the number of papers, but by the quality of papers, to form a scientific evaluation system.
