(news broadcast): General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology are the foundation of national prosperity and the key to security", and we must "hold the lifeblood of science and technology firmly in our own hands."
Wuhan East Lake New Technology Development Zone is the world's largest R&D and production base of optical fiber and optical cable. It has the reputation of "China's Optics Valley".
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has inspected Optics Valley three times, drawing a blueprint and pointing out the direction for the scientific and technological innovation of Optics Valley and the whole country.
Keeping in mind the general secretary's entrustment, the vast number of scientific and technological workers have delivered more brilliant innovation answers with practical actions.
"Chang'e" flies to the moon, "Beidou" guides the way, and "Kunlong" travels... In the ten years of the new era, China's scientific and technological innovation has been at the forefront. .
China Optoelectronics, Wuhan is unique.
The "China Optics Valley" here gave birth to my country's first quartz optical fiber and built my country's first photoelectric transmission system...
The development of "Optics Valley" entrusts the deep expectations of General Secretary Xi Jinping.
In the past ten years, the general secretary visited Optics Valley three times, pointing out the direction for technological innovation at different stages of development.
In July 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Optics Valley for the first time after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
He pointed out: "A country as big as ours cannot be a technological vassal of other countries. We must unswervingly follow the path of independent innovation with Chinese characteristics."
For scientific and technological innovation, the first thing to be solved is the problem of "whether there is" the key technology.
Keeping in mind the general secretary's entrustment, Ma Xinqiang and his team issued a "military order" to focus on the development of laser equipment, invested 3 billion yuan in research and development, and built the first domestically produced CNC laser cutting machine, the first semiconductor laser chip... and created more than 60 The item is the first in the country.
In 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Optics Valley again and encouraged everyone, "Science and technology innovation must abandon illusions and rely on oneself", "We must continuously achieve breakthroughs in core technologies and control the leading power of industrial development."
Focusing on scientific and technological innovation, more than 50 universities, more than 100 scientific research institutions and thousands of scientific and technological innovation enterprises have gathered in Optics Valley.
On the road of innovation-driven development, a large number of "Optics Valley Originals" facing the world have emerged one after another.
In June 2022, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Optics Valley again. This time, he gave more profound significance to technological innovation.
The general secretary pointed out: "As our country develops and grows, it is urgent to break through the key core technologies of the 'stuck neck', firmly grasp the lifeblood of science and technology in our own hands, and continuously improve the independence, autonomy, and security of our country's development."
This time, Ma Xinqiang, who reported face-to-face with the general secretary ten years ago, reported to the general secretary again.
Break through the "stuck neck" technology and grasp the lifeline of science and technology.
In the new year, towards the goal of greater capacity, researchers are developing the world's leading ultra-high-speed optical communication system.
Towards a wider range of applications, "Optics Valley people" use their own designed devices to push special optical fibers to aerospace, marine and medical fields.
Facing the wider space, "Optics Valley people" strive to make Chinese satellites see farther and measure more accurately.
On the new journey, aiming at the self-reliance and self-improvement of science and technology, the "light chasers" on the scientific research road are using their practical actions to hand over more brilliant innovation answers with a sense of mission, responsibility, and urgency.
