On July 20th, as the scorching sun shone, more than 10000 engineering and technical personnel entered the Haval Technology Center Park, which covers an area of 250000 square meters. They were busy working in the research and development main building, trial production center, styling center, testing center, and data center. Over the past decade, at the largest vehicle research and development center in China, the domestic brand Great Wall Motors has achieved a leapfrog development from technology introduction, joint venture cooperation to independent innovation, exporting its products to more than 170 countries and regions.

How was the "National God Car" created? How many more "miracles" are there in Hebei? How is the fertile ground for innovation and entrepreneurship cultivated? The bustling modern "smart" manufacturing scenes on the land of Yan and Zhao are all the best answers.

Technological self-reliance and self-improvement empower innovators

From technology introduction to independent innovation, achieving such achievements, back ten years ago, Zhang Weili, the Director of the Intelligent Expansion Department of Great Wall Motors, couldn't even imagine it.

"At that time, our vehicle intelligence was basically dependent on foreign suppliers, and we could only follow others without even raising additional demands." The R&D personnel deeply felt that the feeling of being "neck tied" was too uncomfortable.

Independent research and development is the only way out. Since then, Great Wall Motors has been increasing its research and development investment year by year, with plans to accumulate 100 billion yuan in research and development investment by 2025; The number of R&D personnel accounts for about 30% of the total employees, with over 4000 R&D personnel in the field of intelligence.

The achievements of "Go First" are remarkable: the company's self-developed achievements in intelligent cabins, intelligent driving, electronic and electrical architecture, etc. have already been in the industry's first tier; The core components of the hydrogen energy system have been fully independently developed, making it the only domestic automotive enterprise with a core technology layout in the entire hydrogen energy industry chain.

Having mastered the core technology, the record of R&D iteration is constantly breaking: 5 years, 3 years, 2 years. "Every generation of products is developed by ourselves, and the speed of iteration can be controlled by ourselves." Zhang Weili is full of confidence.

Innovation guides national brands from struggling to "catch up" and gradually "surpass", to achieving "leading" in multiple fields. On the road of innovation, the figure of Great Wall Motors is not lonely, and there are countless "runners" accelerating on the land of Yan and Zhao——

The intelligent manufacturing "Lighthouse Factory" project of Shiyao Group is accelerating construction, and high-end innovative drugs with independent intellectual property rights are about to be produced here; More than 110 classic prescriptions are being transformed into new drugs, and Shenwei Pharmaceutical continues to make efforts in the inheritance, innovation, and development of traditional Chinese medicine; The largest railway locomotive inspection robot industry base and special robot industry base in China are under construction in Tangshan High tech Zone

If technology is established, the nation will be established, and if technology is strong, the country will be strong. Only through technological self-reliance and self-improvement can we grasp the initiative of development, enhance the security of development, and truly achieve high-quality development.

Leading industrial upgrading and providing direction for entrepreneurs

In Zhengding, Hebei, two large-scale modern industrial parks are in full swing.

The Shenzhen International · Zhengding Smart Port project, which started construction in 2020, is located in the main urban area of Zhengding, with a total construction area of approximately 600000 square meters. "We need to seize the important strategic opportunity of coordinated development in the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region, build a digital cold chain logistics industrial park, and build the first new type of industrial city complex in China that integrates logistics and commerce." The relevant person in charge said.

Located within the Zhengding Digital Economy Industrial Park, Junhe Yungu Zhengding Technology Port has a total construction area of approximately 187000 square meters. "We will focus on introducing enterprises in digital economy related fields such as 5G communication, digital security, medical big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, etc. After the project is put into operation, it is expected that the annual operating income will reach 1.5 billion yuan, attracting 2000 people to work," said the person in charge of Zhengding Science and Technology Port.

Why do they all settle in Zhengding?

"At the beginning, during the construction of the Shenzhen International · Zhengding Smart Port project, there was indeed a problem of 'not adapting to the local conditions', but the policy support and business environment of Zhengding helped me to be calm and confident," said Pi Jiancun, Chairman of Hebei Shenzhen International Zhenyue Tiandi Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.

"The government has provided guidance, and since the signing and construction of the project, it has also enjoyed one-stop approval and reform services. Investing in Zhengding is reassuring and comfortable, and we have confidence in development," said You Jianpeng, the general manager of Yungu Zhengding Technology Port project.

During the interview, various companies praised Hebei's innovation and entrepreneurship environment, saying "peace of mind, reliability, and opportunities". The determination of Hebei Province to lead industrial upgrading with technological innovation is not only reflected in the successively issued "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Implementation of the Action to Strengthen the Province through Science and Technology", "Several Measures to Vigorously Promote Scientific and Technological Innovation Work", "14th Five Year Plan for Scientific and Technological Innovation in Hebei Province", and "Action Plan for Accelerating the Construction of an Innovative Hebei", but also in the hearts of entrepreneurs.

Since the beginning of this year, Hebei has established an average of over 1200 new enterprises every day. As of March, there were 8.0772 million operating entities in Hebei, including 12000 high-tech enterprises and 64 technology leading enterprises. The investment in technology research and development and technological breakthroughs of enterprises has been increasing year by year, and the vitality of innovation and creation is surging in Hebei.

Green development, making fighters yearn for it

Thousands of years of beautiful forests, lush vegetation, and vast expanses of blue waves in the Baiyangdian Lake. In this city of the future, green and technology resonate at the same frequency.

Over the past five years, this greenery has become increasingly prominent in the mobile photo album of Wang Lei, the on-site manager of China Railway 18th Bureau Group Co., Ltd.'s afforestation project, and Xiong'an's appearance has become clearer.

Xiong'an New Area is the first area in China to explore the construction of large-scale, multi layered, and mixed style natural forests in plain areas. In addition to mechanized and intelligent afforestation, it has also created a "digital forest" and innovated the concept of afforestation in all aspects. At the same time, it vigorously strengthens the application of technology such as the Internet of Things, big data, and blockchain to create a "Xiong'an sample" of afforestation in the country.

"Every tree in Xiong'an has a QR code, like an 'ID card', covering all the information of seedlings from cultivation to birth and growth." Wang Lei said that every record of a tree is the cornerstone of the future "digital forest" and "digital Xiong'an".

This greenery is not only the nostalgia of the builders, but also the aspiration of the fighters.

As an engineer at the Ecological Environment Monitoring Center in Xiong'an New Area, 37 year old Liu Tingyue came to maintain the vast expanse of blue waves. "Baiyangdian Lake is too large, and if a pollution incident occurred, it could not have been detected in a timely manner before." Liu Tingyue said that now there is the first "Sky Earth Lake Integrated" environmental monitoring application system based on 5G in China, which can monitor water quality, atmospheric quality data and real-time graphics in real time. When a pollution incident occurs, drones, unmanned ships, and monitoring vehicles can be dispatched in a timely manner to quickly respond to emergencies.

Technological innovation is profoundly changing Liu Tingyue's way of working. "Previously, it used to take a whole day to complete the tedious work of sampling, testing, and recording. Now, observation can be done through a large screen. This' City of the Future 'is great, I won't leave!" Liu Tingyue said.

Opportunities do not give to daydreamers, actions create doers. Countless innovators, entrepreneurs, and fighters are sweating on this hot land, creating the future. Faced with the question of "the key to building a high-quality development driving force for the Beijing Tianjin Hebei region lies in Hebei, and the difficulties also lie in Hebei", Yan Zhao Dadi delivered a high score answer sheet: completing the hard task of reducing production capacity, gnawing on the "hard bone" of haze control, crossing the barriers of structural adjustment, climbing the slope of transformation and upgrading, taking technological innovation as the guide, continuously opening up new fields and tracks of development, and achieving good results that are "miracles" and "extremely difficult".
