China News Service, October 21. Qin Yong, Director of the Department of High and New Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology, stated on the 21st that in the next step, the Ministry of Science and Technology will follow the strategy of accelerating the formation of a new development pattern in the "14th Five-Year Plan" high-tech development plan. It is required to focus on solving the "contradiction between the need for high-quality development and insufficient technological innovation capabilities" and vigorously develop high-tech.

The first is to strengthen forward-looking deployment and vigorously develop a new generation of high and new technology characterized by intelligent technology and quantum technology, and build my country's first-mover advantage in high-tech.

The second is to strengthen the layout of key areas and key links to provide more high-tech achievements for high-quality development.

The third is to accelerate the cultivation of a new generation of high-tech industries and further strengthen the development of new momentum.

On June 15th, the team of Academician Pan Jianwei of the University of Science and Technology of China recently used the world’s first quantum science experimental satellite "Mozi" to achieve entanglement-based non-relayed thousand-kilometer quantum secure communication, a major breakthrough in the field of quantum communication applications. , Published online in the international authoritative academic journal "Nature" late that night Beijing time.

  On the afternoon of the 21st, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on the in-depth implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy and the acceleration of the construction of an innovative country.

In response to questions about the typical achievements in my country's high-tech fields during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, Qin Yong said that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, my country's economy and society have entered a stage of high-quality development and urgently need scientific and technological innovation to provide strong support.

According to the deployment of the "13th Five-Year Plan", the Ministry of Science and Technology has vigorously promoted the development of high-tech, strengthened key core technology research, and has made positive progress in cultivating and developing new kinetic energy, supporting the construction of major national projects, and promoting high-quality economic development, mainly reflected in The following aspects:

  One is the emergence of a number of major high-tech achievements, further enhancing my country's scientific and technological innovation capabilities.

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the Ministry of Science and Technology has increased the advanced deployment of strategic high-tech, and has made a series of breakthroughs in the fields of supercomputing, rail transit, quantum information, and additive manufacturing.

In terms of supercomputing, my country continues to maintain its advantage. In the world's Top500 ranking of supercomputers, my country's supercomputers account for 45%. At the same time, based on the development of E-class prototypes, it is marching towards E-class supercomputers.

In terms of advanced rail transit, the high-speed maglev test prototype vehicle with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour has completed the system joint debugging and joint test on the test line; the high-speed EMU prototype vehicle with a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour officially rolled off the assembly line in Changchun today.

These breakthroughs will make the "Chinese name card" of high-speed rail more beautiful.

In terms of quantum information technology, the experiments of the "Mozi" and the "Beijing-Shanghai Main Line" have constructed the first prototype of a quantum communication network integrating world and earth.

  The second is to focus on cultivating new drivers of development to support high-quality economic development.

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, by strengthening the key layout of high and new technology, many new developments have been made in the fields of new energy vehicles, mobile communications, third-generation semiconductors, and new displays, which have effectively led the development of strategic emerging industries.

In terms of new energy vehicles, through the key R&D layout of batteries, motors and electronic control, a relatively complete new energy vehicle industry chain has been promoted, making my country the world's first in the production and sales of new energy vehicles for five consecutive years.

At present, the total number of new energy vehicles in my country exceeds 4 million, accounting for more than 50% of the world.

In terms of mobile communications, it has achieved the lead in 5G technology, with the number of 5G core patents ranking first in the world, and the first to realize 5G commercial use. At present, the number of 5G base stations in my country has exceeded 600,000, and the number of users has exceeded 110 million.

In terms of new displays, the overall competitiveness of my country's new display industry has been rapidly improved by vigorously promoting the integration and development of the innovation chain and industrial chain. In 2019, my country's new display industry sales exceeded 300 billion yuan, and the scale of the industry ranked first in the world.

  The third is to face major national strategic needs and support the construction of major national projects.

Facing the construction of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, through the system layout of the key technology research of the cross-sea cluster project construction, it has provided important technical support for the smooth completion of the bridge.

Facing the construction of the Sichuan-Tibet railway, on the one hand, it actively provides scientific and technological support for the feasibility study of engineering construction. On the other hand, it has advanced the deployment of major equipment research and concentrated on conquering the hard rock tunnel boring equipment complete system and core components and key core technologies The Sichuan-Tibet Railway, the "Project of the Century", provides independent equipment support.
