Building "Skyscrapers" in Science and Technology, Litchi Online Review [to Review the Line]: Consolidate the Cornerstone of Innovation Country | Chairman | Cornerstone
Special commentator/Zhou Jun
The article emphasizes that strengthening basic research is an urgent requirement for achieving high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and is the only way to build a world science and technology powerhouse. The article points out that in order to cope with international technological competition, achieve high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, promote the construction of a new development pattern, and achieve high-quality development, it is urgent for us to strengthen basic research and solve key technological problems from the source and bottom.
A tree stands a thousand feet tall with roots, and the water flows for thousands of miles with active sources. The towering skyscrapers of technology cannot be separated from a solid and stable foundation as support. In the chain of technological innovation, from research to application, and then to production, basic research is often at the beginning. The stronger the foundation is laid, the higher the building of the science and technology industry can be built. In the past decade of the new era, when people marvel at the speed of China and question why China is, technological progress is often a highly recognizable symbol of China's development. The longest cross sea bridge, the largest 5G network, the most advanced high-speed railway, and the longest distance quantum communication... In recent years, China's science and technology industry has made great progress, and the chapter of technological self-reliance and self-improvement in China is full of upward momentum, driving China's global innovation index ranking to surpass and advance year by year, successfully entering the ranks of innovative countries.
The achievements that have attracted worldwide attention, the innovations that lead the trend, and the overwhelming products... Among the rich and colorful achievements, the most prominent is the bright and profound technological background. The "feeling good" from the vast starry sky, the "underwater world" opened by the tens of thousands of meters of deep sea, the "within reach" brought by artificial intelligence, from major weapons to super engineering, from technological agricultural tools to fingertip touch screens, each new breakthrough from scratch and from 0 to 1 is backed by a large number of independently developed new technologies. The transformation of technological innovation and the advancement of China have made us more deeply realize that innovation leads to development, and seeking innovation leads to seeking the future. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China vividly depicts a magnificent picture carrying the dreams of over 1.4 billion Chinese people. The new journey of advancing modernization construction must seek answers from technological innovation.To walk the path of the future well, technological innovation is a crucial track that must be pursued, seized by innovation, and seized by the "bull nose" that affects the overall economic and social development.
The technological revolution is accelerating its evolution, and technological innovation is constantly evolving. Only with a faster and larger pace can China's technological innovation "stand at the forefront" and achieve more "overtaking on curves". However, there are still many challenges in China's technological innovation that need to be solved, and certain areas are still in a passive position of technological blockade. At a critical period of accelerated technological revolution and industrial transformation, it is particularly urgent to accelerate the improvement of China's scientific and technological innovation capabilities. Only by vigorously promoting technological innovation, strengthening basic research, and fundamentally solving the problem of "two ends outside", can we play a good first mover, take the initiative, and firmly grasp the initiative of competition and development in our own hands. Basic research is a fundamental work that lays the foundation and solidifies the foundation. Sometimes, we may not see significant achievements at the moment. However, as long as we anchor our goals and focus on research, we can accelerate the transformation of scientific research instruments and enable scientific and technological talents to make full use of their talents. The "core position" and "first driving force" of technological innovation can be firmly grasped in our hands.
Great endeavors are all based on innovation. A new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening, and the paradigm of scientific research has undergone profound changes. Nowadays, it is even more necessary to adhere to basic research, consolidate the foundation of scientific and technological self-reliance and development, and build a higher building for the scientific and technological industry. On the new journey, we must solidify the foundation of innovation, fully activate the "spring water" of technological innovation, and firmly grasp the lifeline of technological development and progress in our own hands.
