(News Network): General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that China has embarked on a new journey to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and scientific and technological innovation has a very important position and role in the overall development of the party and the country.

Forge ahead in a new journey and make contributions to a new era.

In the new year, the vast number of scientific and technological workers shoulder the mission of the times, strive to climb the peak of science and technology, run the acceleration of innovation, and provide powerful momentum for building a world power in science and technology.

  At the beginning of the new year, China Tianyan FAST, located deep in the mountains of Pingtang, Guizhou, received good news and achieved a number of major achievements.

So far, FAST has discovered about 500 new pulsars, and has made significant progress in the field of neutral hydrogen spectral line measurement of interstellar magnetic fields.

  Since the inauguration of FAST, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly mentioned this important weapon of a major country.

In February 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized when he inspected FAST in Guizhou that the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country must put science and technology first, give play to the key and backbone role of scientific and technological innovation, bravely climb the peak of world science and technology, and achieve and lead in some fields. , to make new and greater contributions to accelerating the construction of a powerful country in science and technology and realizing self-reliance and self-reliance in science and technology.

  Over the past year, the operational efficiency and quality of FAST have been continuously improved, and it has been officially opened to the world for sharing. 27 international projects in 14 countries have been approved, and scientific observations are being carried out one after another.

  As the country's most important tool for creating original innovations, in the new year, the construction of major national scientific and technological infrastructure is being carried out in an orderly manner.

  The high-efficiency and low-carbon gas turbine test facility has entered the stage of dynamic debugging. After completion, it will provide key data accumulation for the research and development of aero-engines and gas turbines in my country.

  The China Spallation Neutron Source is carrying out a number of researches on superalloys and magnetic thin films.

More than 80 projects will be deployed in the first half of this year, involving new energy, life sciences and other fields.

  In the Science Island of Hefei, Anhui, the artificial solar nuclear fusion experimental device is launching a new round of experiments, which is aimed at hotter and longer-lasting impact; in Beijing Huairou Science City, my country's first high-energy synchrotron radiation light source is also undergoing equipment installation, which will be installed in the second half of this year. Enter the equipment debugging stage.

  Basic research is the source of technological innovation.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that we must persevere in strengthening basic research.

This year, my country will launch a ten-year plan for basic research and build a number of research centers for basic disciplines.

  In the past few days, the superconducting quantum team of the University of Science and Technology of China has begun to upgrade the "Zu Chongzhi No. 2" quantum computing prototype, hoping to further increase the computing speed; at the National Institute of Nanotechnology Innovation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Guangdong, The scientific research team is working on 5G mobile phone radio frequency filters, striving to achieve full-process intelligent manufacturing during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period; in the Institute of Geology and Earth Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the scientific research team has proved the age of the youngest basalt on the moon through research and analysis of the Chang'e-5 lunar samples. About 2 billion years old and revealed the lunar surface water content of the landing zone.

In the new year, the scientific research team will further detect these precious "foreign visitors" and continue to carry out cutting-edge research.

  New journey, stronger driving force for innovation.

In the new year, my country will promote the effective operation of national laboratories, carry out the reorganization of national key laboratories, and launch a three-year plan to implement the reform of the scientific and technological system, so as to stimulate the innovative vitality of talents through reform.
