General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his reply to the representatives of 25 science and technology workers such as Yuan Longping, Zhong Nanshan and Ye Peijian on May 29th that he hopes that the nation’s science and technology workers will carry forward their fine traditions, be firm in innovation and self-confidence, work hard to overcome key core technologies, and promote the deep integration of production, education and research , The courage to climb the peak of science and technology. In an interview with People's Daily, science and technology workers from various fronts stated that they will keep in mind the general secretary's entrusted advice, especially to make more breakthroughs in the "card neck" technology field, and firmly hold the initiative of technology and development in their own hands. Here, we will make new and greater contributions to building China into a world power of science and technology.
Resolute innovation and self-confidence
Academician Li Lanjuan said that against the unknown coronavirus, the most powerful weapon of mankind is science. In this battle against the new crown epidemic, national science and technology workers pooled their collective wisdom, exerted the power of science and technology to fight against the epidemic, and won this battle. Make unremitting efforts in the battle. The State Key Laboratory for Diagnosis and Treatment of Infectious Diseases will actively promote the rigorous and realistic spirit of climbing the peak, continue to overcome difficulties in epidemiological research, virus tracing, vaccine research and development, and seek answers and methods from science.
Tan Xuguang, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shandong Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd. and Chairman of Weichai Power Co., Ltd., said that the equipment manufacturing industry is the backbone of a country's manufacturing industry, and the General Secretary encouraged us to make new and greater contributions to building a world-class technological power. It is believed that the equipment manufacturing industry must assume this mission, promote innovation self-confidence, embark on innovation practice, bravely climb the peak of science and technology, and challenge the world-class.
Strengthen technological confidence from chasing to leading
Gong Ke, a professor at Nankai University and chairman of the World Federation of Engineering Organizations, believes that with regard to innovation self-confidence, this is a new requirement put forward by Chinese science and technology workers in the new era. An important connotation of innovation self-confidence in the new era is self-confidence in exploring new directions. . Because we used to be a latecomer to technology, we have been "following runners" for quite a long time, and there was a big gap. So for quite some time, our problem is how to speed up, shorten the distance, and catch up The world's advanced level. It can be said that with our diligence and wisdom, we have indeed achieved high speed and greatly reduced the gap. But overall, we are speeding up to catch up instead of exploring the direction. The self-confidence at that time was mainly the self-confidence of speed. Dare to use shorter time to accomplish what developed countries do in a longer time. When we enter a new era today, we must have a new self-confidence, that is, self-confidence in the pioneering direction, and dare to break into the no man's land to develop the self-confidence in the new direction. We are not following others to speed up, but to judge where to run.
Xue Qikun, vice president of Tsinghua University and academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that if we are to become a strong country in science and education and a strong modern socialist country, we must independently possess these key core technologies. Several major international events have fully demonstrated this in recent years. This important statement by General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out the direction for us to make "14th Five-Year Plan" and even longer-term planning, reform the system and mechanism, and improve the evaluation and evaluation system. Scientists and technicians must dare to challenge, dare to choose to conquer these technologies, and learn to fight tough battles.
Basic research is the "heart", scientific and technological innovation must withstand the cold bench
Sun Binyong, a researcher at the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that what he feels most in recent years is that the country has paid more and more attention to basic disciplines and has invested more and more. As the cornerstone and guarantee of basic research, mathematics is particularly important. As a national team of mathematics and systems science research, the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences must not only bravely bear heavy burdens in the development of disciplines and achieve important results, but also guide the majority of scientific researchers and graduate students to love basic research from the heart. Let everyone deeply understand the value of basic research. It is hoped that while the country will substantially increase its investment in basic research, it will create an environment conducive to the development of basic disciplines, so that scientific and technological personnel engaged in basic research can calmly do research. At the same time, the evaluation of engaging in basic research should be distinguished from the application of technology, combined with the characteristics of basic disciplines, focusing on theoretical innovation, leading role and promotion of applied disciplines.
Yang Wei, the former director of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, believes that overcoming key core technologies is a systematic project. It is necessary to strengthen the heart, smooth the blood, and exert force on the whole body. A strong heart refers to the formation of a continuous source of original innovation and technology. The key is to accumulate basic research; the smooth blood is to channel the conversion from original innovation to key core technologies, the key is the transformation mechanism of scientific and technological achievements; The key to the atmosphere of advocating science and technology for all people is to nurture China's sense of mission and sense of responsibility for building a powerful country in science and technology.
