CCTV News (News Network): Technological self-reliance and self-improvement is the foundation of a country's prosperity.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that it is necessary to aim at the frontier of world science and technology, seize the general trend, play the "first move", achieve major breakthroughs in forward-looking basic research and leading original achievements, and consolidate the foundation for building a world power in science and technology.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country's investment in science and technology has been greatly increased, the talent team has continued to grow, and the quality and quality of scientific and technological output has increased.
At the Strong Magnetic Field Science Center of the Hefei Institute of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, researcher Zhang Xin is testing the law of the impact of strong magnetic fields on the health of living organisms.
After graduating from Harvard and returning to China, she has witnessed the steady and strong magnetic field of Science Island from scratch in the past ten years, from just starting to constantly breaking world records.
Zhang Xin, a researcher at the Strong Magnetic Field Science Center of the Hefei Institute of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences: Before building these magnets in our strong magnetic field center, we only have two options if we want to make a strong magnetic field.
One is purchased for commercial use, but the commercial magnetic field strength is not very high, and then the other (yes) go abroad to do it, which is very troublesome, and most biological samples cannot be brought.
Now that our strong magnetic field has some hardware facilities of our own, it has provided our Chinese scientists with a very good opportunity to compete on an equal footing with scientists from all over the world.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that basic research is the source of scientific and technological innovation, and strengthening basic research is an inevitable requirement for scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.
From the innovation-driven development strategy proposed at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to the proposal of the 19th National Congress that innovation is the first driving force for development, from the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee's proposal to speed up the construction of a strong country in science and technology to the further emphasis on achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance at the Academician Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Self-improvement, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has placed scientific and technological innovation at the core of the overall national development, and has put forward a series of groundbreaking and long-term strategies.
Breakthroughs in basic research are inseparable from the support of large scientific devices.
In the past ten years, the number of large scientific installations in my country has increased from a few to more than 50, gradually consolidating the foundation of my country's original innovation.
Looking at the starry sky, "China Sky Eye" FAST has discovered more than 660 new pulsars; exploring the microscopic, my country's first high-energy synchrotron radiation light source is under construction, which will illuminate the way for scientists to explore the microscopic world; capture the unknown, at a depth of 700 meters underground , the core detection equipment of the Jiangmen Neutrino Experiment is being installed, which will further unravel the unsolved mysteries of the origin of the universe.
The emergence of a large number of scientific and technological achievements is inseparable from systematic support.
In the past ten years, my country's science and technology field has formed a complete system from guiding ideology to strategic deployment to major actions, and a number of world-class scientific and technological achievements in basic research and strategic high-tech fields have accelerated.
"Huiyan" directly measured the strongest magnetic field in the universe so far, and the quantum computing prototype "Zu Chongzhi" was successfully launched.
Research and exploration in basic frontier fields has become a "sharp weapon" to promote rapid industrial upgrading.
In the past ten years, high-speed railways and fourth-generation nuclear power have entered the world's advanced ranks. 5G research and development and application scenarios have been deeply expanded. With the support of large computing power and supercomputing, the digital economy has flourished.
Lan Yujie, Director of the Basic Research Department of the Ministry of Science and Technology: General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that basic research is the source of the entire scientific system and the general organ for all technical issues.
Basic research should condense scientific problems from the practical problems faced by economic and social development and national security, and understand the basic theory and technical principles of "stuck neck" technology, so as to lay a solid foundation for accelerating the realization of scientific and technological self-reliance and building a world power in science and technology.
This is a decade of unprecedented investment in technology.
The R&D investment of the whole society has increased from 1.03 trillion yuan in 2012 to 2.79 trillion yuan in 2021, and the basic research expenditure has increased to 3.4 times that of a decade ago.
This is the decade when my country has built a systematic strategic scientific and technological force.
The construction of a national laboratory system with Chinese characteristics has been accelerated, the scientific research capabilities of high-level research universities and national research institutes have been continuously improved, and the functions of original innovation sources have been continuously enhanced.
This is a decade of continuous growth of my country's scientific and technological talent team.
The total number of R&D personnel in my country ranks first in the world, and the number of personnel has nearly doubled.
This is the decade in which my country has made the greatest progress in science and technology and has seen the fastest increase in scientific and technological strength.
According to the ranking of the Global Innovation Index released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, my country has risen from 34th in 2012 to 12th in 2021, and is the only country in the world that continues to rise rapidly.
Over the past ten years, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, my country's scientific and technological undertakings have undergone historic, overall and structural changes. the target at full speed.
