ChatGPT may replace manual mental work, the Mars Migration Project is in full swing, and genes are being rewritten to treat genetic diseases... The rapid development of science is leading humanity to a future that has never been imagined before - technological progress means both opportunities and challenges. What will "Future China" look like?
The second season of the first Chinese cutting-edge scientific thinking show "Future China", which is jointly broadcasted by Dongfang TV, Jiangsu TV, Zhejiang TV, and Anhui TV in the Yangtze River Delta, was officially scheduled for July 7th. The program continues to focus on cutting-edge scientific knowledge, inviting top academicians and scientists to conduct knowledge popularization, and featuring young academic elites with vision, intelligence, and more expressive abilities to compete in scientific knowledge, enabling the implementation of hardcore scientific knowledge.
"I have been thinking: what kind of idol do we need? Scientists are definitely the role models and idols we need, so we should do such a program to establish scientific role models and idols." said Chen Chen, producer of "Future China" and host of Oriental TV. There is currently no reference template for using variety shows to present scientific knowledge and technological power, making it more visually appealing and with a clear and concise explanatory function. In the first season, Chen Chen transformed into a "science recommender", teaming up with science role models and the Science Youth League, using direct pain points and innovative program formats to make scientific issues easier to understand. The related topics of the program have been trending on Weibo 21 times, with a main topic reading volume of 450 million on Weibo.
The second season of "Future China" will more fully connect cutting-edge scientific achievements with "youth topics", showcasing the collision of ideas between two generations of scientists. Scientists are down-to-earth and steadfast in their faith in scientific research, serving as scientific role models to lead young people and building a spiritual bridge to the scientific world. It is also the expectation of Future China to inspire young people with excellent research and academic leaders, and to play a positive role as idols.

The second season will usher in a new scientific example. The program invited academician Bao Xinhe, the president of the University of Science and Technology of China, Wu Guanghui, the chief designer of the C919 large passenger aircraft, Jia Yang, the deputy chief designer of the Chang'e-3 and Chang'e-4 probes, and the deputy chief designer of the Tianwen-1 Mars probe, among other "scientific role models". At the same time, in addition to the previous season's "Science Youth Team" lineup composed of well-known science popularization UPs on Bilibili and Dr. Tang Cheng from the Institute of Neurology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Hong Chenyao, a master's degree in financial engineering and risk management at Imperial College, a million fan blogger, and Liu Chang, a postdoctoral fellow in clinical medicine at Zhejiang University, have also been added to bring new perspectives and exciting performances to the audience.
The content of the second season of "Future China" has also been comprehensively upgraded, exploring topics that are both close to life and cutting-edge scientific hotspots, involving artificial intelligence, deep space exploration, domestically produced large aircraft, domestically produced core making, animal and plant environmental protection, life medicine, paleontology evolution, urban life, and other fields. Based on the scientific theme of each issue, the Science Youth League will conduct a science popularization speech in the "youth voice", supplemented by various forms such as experimental short films, technology shows, and immersive scientific research investigations.
In the program, young people step into the lunar soil research institute and observe the microscopic world in the lunar soil, which is even finer than flour; Or enter the artificial intelligence laboratory of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China to witness paraplegic patients using exoskeleton robots to stand and walk; Or through two days and one night of wilderness exploration, visit the wild panda's home as a guest; Or through fun lithography experiments, learn about the most core processes in chip manufacturing, etc. In the second season, science role models will also face sharp "quick questions and quick answers", such as "How many more years will China's chip industry take to become the world's number one?" "What is the most fulfilling moment as an astronaut?" "How can the value of human beings be reflected in the development of artificial intelligence?". In the second season, "Science Popularization and Creativity Insertion" will be added, with high-quality artists serving as science popularization promoters. Science popularization experiments will be used to explain scientific knowledge to the audience, making knowledge popularization more interesting.
In addition, the second season also focuses on the comprehensive upgrade of creation and promotion in the Yangtze River Delta region cooperation. The program will focus on showcasing national science and technology innovation projects and national laboratories in various provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Delta. For example, the nano ceramic aluminum alloy material developed by the School of Materials and Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, as the first aviation material system created by Chinese people, successfully helped the domestic large aircraft C919 complete its first commercial passenger flight; At the National Key Laboratory of Digital Medical Engineering at Southeast University, the research achievements of Director Gu Zhongze and Associate Professor Chen Zaozhao's team, organ chips, can accurately simulate the human environment, reducing the time and cost of new drug development.

The program collaborates with sister TV stations in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui in the Yangtze River Delta region to comprehensively promote the dissemination of "technology integration in the Yangtze River Delta". Together, we will create a new scientific and technological innovation communication carrier belonging to the "three provinces and one city" of the Yangtze River Delta region, showcasing the hard power of a technological powerhouse through more in-depth, broader, and novel scientific thought shows. In addition to Chen Chen, Eastern TV hosts Lin Hai, Bai Keli, and Wang Guan, Jiangsu TV hosts Guo Xiaomin, Li Hao, and Li Xiang, Zhejiang TV hosts Hua Shao, Yi Yi, and Chen Huan, and Anhui TV hosts Ma Ying and Bai Yu will also serve as science referrals from various regions, bringing science closer to audiences from all over the world.
