△On May 28, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the 19th Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the 14th Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and delivered an important speech.

  "Science and technology has never had such a profound impact on the future and destiny of the country, and has never had such a profound impact on people’s lives and well-being." The recently published "Seeking Truth" magazine published an important article by General Secretary Xi Jinping "Strive to become a major scientific center in the world and Innovation Heights.

The article pointed out that we are closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any time in history, and we need to build a world scientific and technological power more than at any time in history!

  In this article, General Secretary Xi Jinping made a sober thinking and judgment on how to become the world's major science center and innovation highland.

  Looking at the world, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are developing in depth, the balance of international forces has been profoundly adjusted, and competition in the field of scientific and technological innovation has become increasingly fierce.

  The key core technology is not available, can not be bought, can not be bought, only to take the road of "independent innovation".

  The situation is pressing, the challenge is pressing, and the mission is pressing.

We must take a path of innovation that suits our national conditions, and in particular, we must put the enhancement of original innovation capabilities in a more prominent position.

  However, independent innovation is not easy.

Innovation has always been a life of nine deaths.

  Xi Jinping encourages scientific and technological workers to have the pride of "being good at the heart, but never regrets after nine deaths", but also to have the determination to "be willing to sit on a cold bench, and be brave to be a tree planter and a well digger"; We must not only look at the "face", but also grasp the "point".

Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen the research and deployment of scientific issues related to the fundamental and overall situation, and make great efforts in key areas and places where the neck is stuck; not only must pay attention to the source of the scientific system-basic research, but also be the engine of human progress- -"Enough strength" in the field of engineering science and technology.

  Only by adhering to the road of independent innovation can we reach the goal of "becoming the world's major science center and innovation highland".

  Sowing the seeds of independent innovation, we must also deepen the soil for institutional innovation.

We must adhere to the "two-wheel drive" of technological innovation and institutional innovation.

  "The talent evaluation system is unreasonable, and the phenomenon of only papers, titles, and academic qualifications is still serious. The many evaluations and evaluations make the scientific and technological workers overwhelmed, and the talent'hats' are flying all over the sky." The general secretary deeply pointed out the existence of the talent evaluation system in the science and technology field. Problem, and gave a solution——

  It is necessary to pass reforms to change the practice of labeling talents with "permanent cards" based on static evaluation results, and change the one-sided practice of using papers, patents, and the number of funds as talent evaluation criteria. Red tape should not be used to tie up scientists' hands and feet. Endless reports and approvals have delayed the scientists' energy!

  Scientists are not only "white-haired" and not evaluated by one-sided criteria, and work and live in an atmosphere suitable for innovation, so that scientists can forever maintain the vitality of innovation.

  The field of science and technology is the most in need of continuous reform.

Reform must be brave to "break", but also good at "establishing."

In the article "Strive to Become the World's Major Science Center and Innovation Highland", Xi Jinping emphasized that the reform of the scientific and technological system must dare to gnaw hard bones, dare to venture into dangerous beaches, overcome difficulties, and remove all ideological and institutional barriers that restrict scientific and technological innovation. Change, change will lead to success, and change will lead to long time.”

  Get rid of unreasonable and unscientific systems, establish a system that makes scientific research more "scientific", and stimulate the huge potential of scientific and technological innovation through system innovation.

  At 1:51 on March 12, the Long March 7-to-Yao-2 launch vehicle was successfully launched, marking the addition of a new member of my country's new generation of medium-sized launch vehicle family.

  In the past few days, two letters about the Long March 7 "fire".

  Zhang Yichen, a junior high school student in Beijing No. 8 Middle School, who was full of yearning for the "star sea", was very sad and anxious after the first defeat of the Long March No. 7 Type A last year.

"Our Long March VII Type A carrier rocket failed to launch, which made me feel heartache...In my impression, China's space launch rate is much higher than that of Europe and America..." Zhang Yichen sent a letter to researchers.

In the letter, Zhang Yichen also gave his own "professional" analysis of the reasons for the failure of Changqi.

  About a week after the letter was sent, Fan Ruixiang, the chief designer of Long March 7 and Meng Gang, chief commander of Long March 7, wrote back to the junior high school student, "Don’t look at your young age, your analysis and reasoning are very logical, and your insights are also very unique. I believe that when I grow up, I can definitely contribute to the aerospace industry of the motherland."

  This reply also spoke candidly about the feelings of scientific researchers after the failure.

"Everyone is simmering in a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat, and we must find the root of the problem as soon as possible! What everyone said is that we must find out all the problems and weaknesses, take measures to improve, and complete the production of new rockets as soon as possible, and organize new ones. Launch, prove yourself with success, and prove the strength of China's new generation of launch vehicles..."

  "This kind of inheritance is really touching." "Together with the scientific research staff, keep in love, China Aerospace refuels" "Continue to rush, our journey is the stars and the sea"... These two letters were praised by netizens.

  Facing failures, admitting failures, and analyzing failures calmly, "big coffee" in the aerospace field "breaks the circle" dialogue with junior high school students who love science... More and more new changes are taking place in the field of science and technology, which is exactly "break everything" Vivid manifestation of the ideological barriers restricting technological innovation.

△On March 12, 2021, in Wenchang, Hainan, the Long March 7 to Yao-2 carrier rocket was ignited and launched at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in China, and the test 9 satellite was put into a predetermined orbit. The launch was a complete success.

  To become the world’s major science center and innovation highland, we have firm confidence-Tiangong, Jiaolong, Tianyan, Wukong, Mozi, Big Airplane, High-speed Railway, Beidou... my country’s innovation-driven development strategy is further advanced, and innovation is becoming the first to lead development. One motivation.

  At the beginning of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the start of the new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, we insist on independent innovation and use system innovation to stimulate the huge potential of scientific and technological innovation, and march towards becoming the world's major scientific center and innovation highland.
