Beijing, June 3rd: To make greater contributions to achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance - General Secretary Xi Jinping’s congratulatory letter to the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Academy of Engineering encourages engineering and scientific and technological workers to further devote themselves to building a strong scientific and technological country.
On June 3, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, General Secretary Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter, extending his sincere greetings to academicians of the academy and the majority of engineering science and technology workers, emphasizing the need to achieve high-level science and technology self-reliance and build a world science and technology power. Make new and greater contributions.
The congratulatory letter was full of cordial care and ardent expectations, and aroused enthusiastic responses among the vast number of engineering and science and technology workers.
"General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in his congratulatory letter that engineering science and technology is an important engine for promoting the development of human society. This is a commendation and encouragement to the vast number of engineering science and technology workers." Academician Wu Hequan, former vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that over the past 30 years, in the party, Under the strong leadership of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Chinese Academy of Engineering has united academicians and engineering science and technology workers to vigorously promote the development of engineering science and technology, constantly overcome scientific and technological difficulties, and its innovative achievements have attracted worldwide attention.
By gathering first-class innovative talents, producing first-class scientific and technological achievements, contributing first-class consulting advice, and building a first-class academic platform, academicians of the Academy of Engineering and engineering science and technology workers strive to be the vanguard in the process of striving for high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.
"Aero engines are important tools for the country and an important manifestation of the country's scientific and technological strength and innovation capabilities. Accelerating independent research and development is the mission of engineering and scientific workers." The general secretary's congratulatory letter impressed Academician Xiang Qiao, deputy general manager of China Aerospace Engine Group Co., Ltd. We are proud that in recent years, engineering and scientific workers on the aero-engine development front have kept in mind the General Secretary’s instructions, accelerated breakthroughs in key core technologies, initially explored a new path of independent innovation and development, and strived to make China’s aircraft use more powerful “Chinese heart” ".
"Based on the world's advanced level, 'China Engineering' has long been on the world stage, but there is no end to innovation in engineering science and technology." Academician Li Xinggang, who presided over the design of the main venues for the Beijing Olympics and Winter Olympics, has personally experienced the construction of a series of major national projects and is currently working on Taking the lead in research and design of "future housing" that is greener, low-carbon, smart and safe, "We must follow the direction guided by the General Secretary, continue to meet the people's growing needs for a better life, and strive to cultivate new momentum for high-quality economic and social development."
Biochip Beijing National Engineering Research Center, the laboratory is busy. Relying on a major national project, academician Cheng Jing, director of the center and chair professor of the School of Biomedical Engineering at Tsinghua University, led a team to develop the world's first genetic detection chip for hereditary deafness, providing more "technological tools" for the prevention of birth defects.
"For people's lives and health, we cannot rely solely on second-hand or even outdated technology. We must strengthen original scientific and technological innovation and firmly hold key core technologies in our own hands." Looking forward to the future, Cheng Jing is full of confidence, "To protect people's health, we must Strengthen the in-depth integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, so that more new and good technologies can be used in a timely manner.”
"Bringing into play the role of national strategic science and technology forces" and "strengthening the functions of national high-end think tanks"...the hopes put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping in his congratulatory letter point out the direction and provide guidance for the development of China's engineering science and technology.
"Insist on selecting topics for the country, establishing projects for the country, and solving key problems for the country. We will grasp the general trend of world science and technology development, focus on national strategic needs, continue to systematically and targetedly deploy science and technology strategic consulting projects, carefully organize and carry out science and technology assessment and demonstration, and strive to build A world-class science and technology think tank," said Wang Zhenhai, Director of the Second Bureau of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
At a new starting point, the vast number of engineering and scientific and technological workers are bravely reaching new heights.
Not long ago, the "Lv Neng Ying", the first ship of China's fifth-generation large-scale LNG carrier project developed by Wang Lei, director of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation's Hudong-Zhonghua LNG Technology Research Institute, was successfully delivered, with world-leading technical performance indicators.
"LNG carriers are known as the 'crown jewel' of the shipbuilding industry. In the future, we will continue to carry out scientific research to effectively promote the high-end development of the shipbuilding industry and accelerate my country's transformation from a large shipbuilding country to a powerful shipbuilding country," Wang Lei said.
The CR450 EMU prototype with a speed of 400 kilometers per hour is expected to roll off the assembly line this year. The corresponding high-speed rail lines, bridges, tunnels, etc. will also achieve technological innovation to jointly carry the faster "China Speed".
"Time waits for no time, seize the day and night, and let Chinese engineering continue to lead in the international railway field." Li Ping, chief researcher of China Academy of Railway Sciences Group Co., Ltd., who was awarded the title of "National Outstanding Engineer" earlier this year, is leading the team to build a faster operation , a new generation of intelligent high-speed railways with a higher level of intelligence, providing Chinese solutions for the intelligent development of railways in the world.
Scientific achievements are inseparable from spiritual support. In his congratulatory letter, General Secretary Xi Jinping specifically mentioned promoting the spirit of scientists and encouraging engineering and scientific workers to continue striving to achieve high-level scientific and technological independence and self-reliance.
Academician Zhang Boli, winner of the national honorary title of "People's Hero", deeply feels the glory of his mission: "Standing at a new historical starting point, we should shoulder historical responsibilities, aim at the needs of the country, better promote the spirit of scientists, and be more enthusiastic and high-spirited With a more fighting spirit and a more pragmatic style, he devoted himself to the cause of national scientific and technological innovation and wrote his thesis on the land of the motherland.”
