China's first petascale supercomputer system, China's first deep-sea manned submersible, Shanghai light source, Beijing's positive and negative electronic collider major upgrade project ... ... "Eleventh Five-Year" period, China's a number of key scientific and technological projects Major projects have achieved fruitful results.

National Science and Technology Major Projects: To seize the commanding heights of international science and technology competition During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, major national science and technology major projects were successively launched. At present, major special projects have started to implement more than 2,500 topics and invested more than 40 billion yuan.

After several years of implementation, some major special projects have achieved a number of landmark innovations:

—— The basic general plan for the large aircraft special C919 passenger plane has passed the national review, and breakthroughs have been made in the development of domestic materials and key technologies. The main structure of the nosepiece prototype has been developed and used for functional testing.

—— A major nuclear power plant project has made breakthroughs in the development of major components such as AP1000 steam generator forgings, main pipelines and steel containment vessels.

——The 2,000 major seismographs with major international advanced equipment, such as large-scale seismographs, have entered the stage of trial production and assembly, and a major breakthrough has been made in the construction of the 3000-meter deep-water semi-submersible drilling platform.

—— Water pollution control has broken through many key technologies for reducing pollutants in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, developed a series of advanced wastewater treatment equipment such as energy efficient sludge dewatering machines, and promoted the development of new environmental protection industries. "Implementation of emission reduction targets.

—— Through the support of genetically modified special projects, the pace of promotion and industrialization of domestically produced transgenic insect-resistant cotton has been accelerated. The market share has reached 93%...

Xu Hao, director of the Major Special Projects Office of the Ministry of Science and Technology, said that the implementation of major national science and technology projects has greatly enhanced China’s overall innovation capability and provided strong support for China’s initiative in the new round of global competition.

Major science and technology projects: "boosters" for economic and social development

During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China has implemented a number of major science and technology projects, focusing on the core technologies in key areas such as energy, environmental protection, biology, medicine, and food, in order to promote the health, coordination, and coordination of the economy, society, population, resources, and the environment. Sustained development has played a role.

In order to protect the health of the people, China has developed a major infectious disease vaccine and diagnostic reagents. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, 40 vaccines for major or common diseases were researched and developed. Two new drug certificates have been obtained and commercialized. Among them, the recombinant oral Helicobacter pylori vaccine developed by the Third Military Medical University of the Chinese People's Liberation Army won the new drug certificate in March 2009. This is the world's first vaccine of the same type that has received the new drug certificate. The cell-free whitebait b-type Haemophilus influenzae vaccine developed by Beijing Minhai Biotechnology Co., Ltd. won a new drug certificate in March 2009. This is the first vaccine product in China to receive the same type of certificate.

Food security is a top priority. China has implemented the "High-yield Science and Technology Project for Grain Production," and has integrated and innovated a number of high-yield technologies for the three major crops with regional characteristics, which have played an important role in increasing grain production and income. Since the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan”, in the “core area, demonstration area, and radiation area” of the 12 major grain-producing provinces across the country, the cumulative construction area has reached 6.8255 billion mu, and the total output of grain has increased by 4,088,800 tons, which is the continuous growth of grain in China for many years. And the harvest provided important support.

Big scientific installations: Powerful support for cutting-edge scientific research Scientific instrumentation and equipment is an important support and cornerstone of independent innovation. Modern scientific and technological progress is increasingly dependent on the strong support of scientific instruments and equipment. During the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, China broke through a batch of core technologies and key components, independently developed scientific instruments and equipment, and built a number of large-scale scientific installations with high quality.

The Lanzhou Heavy Ion Accelerator Cooling Storage Ring, the major upgrade project of Beijing's positive and negative electron collider, and the Shanghai light source... These large scientific installations have successfully passed the national inspection and acceptance, significantly improving China’s independent innovation and integrated innovation capabilities, and attaining the heights of the international scientific and technological community. Accredited and widely praised.

These large scientific installations have played an important role in supporting the development of cutting-edge technologies. For example, the largest large-field-of-view telescope in the world, the Datian District Multi-Objective Fiber Optic Astronomical Telescope, provides world-class observation equipment for China’s research in large-scale space structures, galactic structures, and galaxy physics. The self-built superconducting superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion research device has laid a solid foundation for the further development of magnetic confinement fusion research in China, and has also created conditions for China’s full participation in the international thermonuclear experimental reactor program...

Relying on these large scientific devices, Chinese scientists have made a series of important achievements in basic research and application. For example, Lanzhou Heavy Ion Accelerator Cooling Storage Ring synthesizes 11 kinds of near-dripping line rare earth new nuclide, and the mass accuracy of radionuclide has reached the level of 10-6, which has entered the international advanced ranks.

In the field of technology applications, high-tech developed in the construction and operation of large scientific installations has also played an important role in the national economy and national security. Some installations have provided strong support in the fields of aerospace, materials, agriculture, and national security. .
