After the opening of the Jakarta Bandar high-speed railway, from September 7th to September 30th, 8 passenger trains will be arranged daily between Halim Station in Jakarta and Bandar Karur Station according to the train schedule. Citizens along the line can make an appointment with Indonesia China High Speed Railway Co., Ltd. for a free ride experience. Ticket sales will officially begin commercial operation in early October, and the number of passenger trains will be determined based on market demand to meet the travel needs of people along the route.

The Yawan high-speed railway multiple unit is designed and manufactured by a Chinese enterprise using advanced and mature technology of the Chinese standard multiple unit with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour, adapting to the operating environment and line conditions in Indonesia, and integrating Indonesian local culture. It has the characteristics of advanced technology, safety and comfort. Each high-speed train consists of 8 cars, equipped with VIP, first class, and second class seats, with a total capacity of 601 people. It can be operated in multiple units and is equipped with accessible facilities such as disabled restrooms and Braille signage, as well as vending cabinets, coffee machines, microwaves, and other equipment, providing passengers with a good riding experience.

The geological environment along the Yawan high-speed railway is complex, and the engineering construction is very difficult. Chinese and Indonesian participating units fully draw on the successful experience of China's high-speed rail construction, adhere to the concept of ecological and environmental protection, strengthen survey and design and construction organization, strengthen safety and quality control, and promote engineering construction in a scientific, orderly, high-quality and efficient manner. The project route selection maximizes avoidance of unfavorable geological conditions such as landslides and volcanoes, innovatively designs bridges with better seismic isolation performance, ballastless tracks with higher smoothness, and advanced systems with stronger train operation control. Thirteen tunnels and 56 bridges have been built to high standards.

During the construction of the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway, a large amount of procurement and use of locally produced cement and other raw materials in Indonesia have driven local economic development. A large number of Indonesian employees have been recruited to participate in engineering construction, bringing a total of 51000 jobs to the local area and training 45000 Indonesian employees.

Before the opening and operation of the Jakarta Bandung high-speed railway, both China and Indonesia carefully organized relevant units to conduct joint debugging, testing, acceptance, and safety evaluation of various professional equipment. Comprehensive optimization and adjustment were carried out on track status, pantograph and catenary performance, train control, communication signal system, etc. to ensure that the line fully meets the conditions for opening and operation. We have carefully selected operation management and equipment maintenance personnel, conducted strict training and exams, and confirmed that they have the qualifications to work.

How to prioritize power?, A Question to the End | Manned Lunar Landing for Space Development | China | Lunar Landing

The moon is a close neighbor of our blue planet and a transit station for humanity to move further into deep space. At present, China is carrying out the fourth phase of lunar exploration project. Not long ago, China also had a schedule for manned lunar landing. The new generation of manned rockets in China is expected to make its first flight in 2027, and it will also achieve the first Chinese landing on the moon before 2030. Aerospace development prioritizes power. Recently, the main engine of China's manned lunar landing rocket, the 130 ton pump rear swing liquid oxygen kerosene engine, developed by the Sixth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group, completed its sixth test on the test bench. The cumulative test time of the engine reached 3300 seconds, and the working time exceeded 10 times the task time. This verified the reliability of the engine's operation and once again set a new record for single test of China's 100 ton engine. How difficult is the development of rocket high thrust engines? by
