Since the 18th CPC National Congress, China’s various types of engineering construction accelerated, converging into a magnificent picture of the new era. A big country project has become a powerful engine to enhance original innovation ability and lead high-quality development, providing strong support for Chinese-style modernization.

Focusing on the Frontier to Enhance Original Innovation Capability

t the beginning of the New Year, the “China Eye” FAST has once again delivered good news. Up to now, FAST has discovered more than 870 new pulsars, which is more than three times the number discovered by all other international telescopes in the same period.

With an aperture of 500 meters and a total area of reflective panels equivalent to 30 standard soccer fields, it can receive electromagnetic signals 10 billion light-years away. …… China’s Eye in the Sky puts Chinese scientists at the forefront of human horizons, and has made one world-class scientific discovery after another.

To do a good job, one must first make good use of its tools. Large scientific devices play a crucial role in exploring the frontiers of science and technology and enhancing the capacity of basic research.

In recent years, China has successively built a number of scientific and technological infrastructures, such as the “China Sky Eye”, the high-altitude cosmic ray observatory “Lasso”, and the Circular Array Solar Radio Imaging Telescope, and the “Hui-eye” and “Quaife-1”. The “Hui-Eye” and “Kuazu-1” satellites continue to make new discoveries. The construction and operation of a series of scientific projects have strongly enhanced China’s capacity for original innovation and continuously expanded the boundaries of human cognition of unknown fields.

The breakthrough of key core technologies for the major national needs also requires the leadership of big projects.

On January 9, a C919 aircraft of China Eastern Airlines took off from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport on flight MU5137 to Beijing Daxing International Airport. This was the “debut” of the C919 aircraft on regular commercial flights on the Beijing-Shanghai route.

In order to realize the dream of “big airplane”, China has persistently pooled wisdom and research, and nearly 300,000 people from different units have participated in the development of the C919, the successful development of which has enabled China to master more than 6,000 civil aircraft technologies, and led to group breakthroughs in new technologies, new materials and new processes.

Focusing on the country’s major strategic needs, China has promoted a series of major projects, conquered a number of key core technologies, and continuously seized the strategic commanding heights that have a bearing on the long term and the overall situation.

Innovation and leadership to create new momentum for high-quality development

On January 7, the first domestic large cruise ship “AIDA – Magic City” safely docked in Shanghai Wusongkou International Cruise Port, more than 3,000 tourists disembarked in good order, the voyage of 1,119 nautical miles of the commercial maiden voyage was successfully completed.

Because of the long industry chain, strong driving force, the cruise industry is known as “floating in the golden waterway on the gold industry”. According to reports, a large cruise ship can pull several times its own value of supporting supply chain construction, only assembly construction can create more than 5,000 jobs, cruise ship construction on the economic development of the pull ratio of up to 1:14.

The construction of large projects has a significant role in driving economic and social development. In recent years, China has focused on the needs of economic and social development, through a series of large-scale construction projects, and constantly build a new engine of economic development, promote high-quality economic and social development, and help improve people’s living standards.

–Through the development of Fuxing high-speed trains, China has formed an independent industrial chain supply chain composed of a large number of enterprises, which has strongly promoted the modernization of China’s rail equipment industry system.

–The “East Counts, West Counts” project has been accelerated, and more and more cities in the west have welcomed new opportunities for the development of the digital economy.

–The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Corridor, a super project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, will help Shenzhen City and Zhongshan City, which are located on the east and west sides of the Pearl River Estuary, enter the “half-hour living circle”.

In addition, China is promoting the construction of a series of projects in new-generation information technology, new energy, new materials and other emerging fields, continuously broadening the new track of strategic emerging industries and future industries, and accumulating new kinetic energy for high-quality development.

Pooling wisdom to tackle problems and fully demonstrate the advantages of the system

The construction of large projects is not easy, in which the key core technology research is even more difficult, the new national system has given us the courage to overcome the difficulties.

10909 meters! This is the manned deep diving record created by the “Struggler”. The extremely harsh deep-sea environment is a test of the submersible’s pressure-resistant ability, maneuverability, and communication system, all of which are world-class scientific and technological challenges.

In the face of challenges, China has organized nearly 100 research institutes, universities and enterprises with nearly 1,000 researchers to carry out collaborative research and breakthroughs in a series of key core technologies, and the localization rate of the components of “Struggle” has exceeded 96.5%.

From “South-to-North Water Diversion” to “West-to-East Electricity Transmission”, from China’s space station to the Jinping large facilities …… are not a vivid embodiment of the advantages of the new national system.

In recent years, China has effectively mobilized the innovation power and resources of society as a whole, greatly enhancing the systematic ability of scientific and technological research, some traditional short boards have made great progress, artificial intelligence, quantum technology and other scientific and technological new track in the world’s first echelon.

Great power engineering creates great power. It is reasonable to believe that on the new journey, China will further give full play to the advantages of the new national system, focus on the “four directions”, promote the construction of great power projects with higher quality, and contribute more power to accelerate the realization of Chinese-style modernization.
