On June 6, at the press conference on "Implementing the Innovation-Driven Development Strategy to Build a Powerful Country in Science and Technology" held by the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, some media asked: In the past ten years, we have gone from manned spaceflight to Chang'e lunar exploration, from hybrid rice to nuclear power construction. , China's series of major power projects and major power weapons have attracted worldwide attention. Please introduce how engineering technology contributes to the high-quality development of China's economy? What role did the Chinese Academy of Engineering play in it?
"On June 3, 2014, when President Xi Jinping attended the International Conference on Engineering Science and Technology, he pointed out, 'Engineering benefits mankind, and science and technology creates the future.' The importance of economic development." In this regard, Li Xiaohong, president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said.
Li Xiaohong said that in the past ten years since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, China's engineering science and technology undertakings have indeed achieved historic achievements. ten years .
First, a large number of world-class projects have been built in this decade. From heaven, everyone knows that there are "Tianwen", "Tianhe" and "Chang'e flying to the moon". In the sea, there is "Deep Sea No. 1", which drills thousands of meters of seabed. Land-based projects, China's high-speed rail, China's dams, China's bridges, and China's ports, these four aspects are China's resounding business card in the world. High-speed rail has attracted worldwide attention. The famous Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is the longest sea-crossing bridge in the world. You may know about the Three Gorges Dam, as well as water conservancy projects such as Xiangjiaba, Xiluodu and Baihetan.
Second, academicians of the Academy of Engineering also played a role in helping to break through major scientific and technological problems. Whether it is made in China, or future cars, data ports, as well as industrial chain supply, 5G, Beidou navigation, new energy, advanced nuclear energy, UHV, etc., there are academicians from the Academy of Engineering.
Third, engineering technology can better benefit the people. Food security is inseparable from Yuan Longping, a healthy China, this time to fight against the epidemic, with the contributions of academicians such as Zhong Nanshan, Zhang Boli, and Chen Wei. Engineering technology helps to win the battle to defend the blue sky, clear water and pure land, and strongly supports the continuous improvement of the ecological environment. In addition, the West-East Gas Pipeline, the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the Sichuan-Tibet Railway, the East-West Calculation, the help of science and technology in poverty alleviation, the building of a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, the realization of the first centenary goal, etc., the Academy of Engineering has made important contributions.
