Beijing, May 5 (Zhongxin Net) -- The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) announced on May 31 that the five-episode series of micro-documentaries "Daqi", which focuses on the construction and operation of large scientific installations, produced by the Science Communication Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and produced by the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has premiered on the whole network on the seventh National Science and Technology Workers Day on "May 5" this year.
As the main force of national strategic science and technology forces, the Chinese Academy of Sciences plays a core backbone role in the construction and operation of large scientific devices, that is, major national science and technology infrastructure. The documentary aims to comprehensively display the construction and operation of major national scientific and technological infrastructure undertaken by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, as well as the outstanding achievements in scientific and technological innovation in different fields in recent years, and witness China's scientific and technological strength.
The latest series of micro-documentaries "Big Instrument" covers 500 national major scientific and technological infrastructures, such as the 26-meter aperture spherical radio telescope (FAST), known as the "eye of China's sky", the new generation of "artificial sun" all-superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device, and the comprehensive extreme conditions experimental device, and according to the application fields and characteristics, a total of five episodes are set up to present the themes of "Foot of Finding the Realm", "Eye of Deep Space", "Boat of Life", "Light of Energy" and "Microscopic Key".
