In 2023, China has made fruitful achievements in scientific and technological innovation, and a series of "great powers" have been unveiled one after another, demonstrating strong innovation strength. China's overall ranking in scientific and technological innovation has risen to 10th, and it has achieved fruitful results in the fields of aerospace, aviation, shipbuilding and some scientific and technological infrastructure.
This article will focus on the highlights of China's scientific and technological innovation in 2023, including the Long March series of launch vehicles, China's space station, the C919 large passenger aircraft, the first domestically produced large cruise ship "Aida Modu", and some major scientific and technological infrastructure.
First of all, the Long March family of launch vehicles has achieved a series of feats over the past year. On December 10, 2023, the Long March series of launch vehicles completed the 500th launch mission, marking the completion of China's space flight from 0 to 500 times in 53 years.
The launch speed of the Long March series rockets is also accelerating, setting a new launch record for China's aerospace industry. Second, China's space station has entered the stage of application and development.
For the first time, China's manned space program released a panoramic view of the space station assembly taken by the Shenzhou-16 crew with a high-definition camera before returning to the ground, demonstrating a new breakthrough in China's aerospace industry.
In addition, the C919 large passenger aircraft successfully completed its first commercial flight, marking the official start of China's civil aviation commercial operation of domestically produced large aircraft, demonstrating China's innovative strength in the aviation field.
In addition, China's shipbuilding industry has also had a bright performance, China Shipbuilding Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding lasted eight years of scientific research, five years of design and construction, "Aida Modu" named delivery marks China has made a new breakthrough in the field of large-scale shipbuilding.
Finally, some major scientific and technological infrastructures are also constantly exploring uncharted areas, including the use of data from the "China Sky Eye" survey, the high-energy synchrotron radiation light source (HEPS), the all-superconducting tokamak nuclear fusion experimental device (EAST), and the high-altitude cosmic ray observatory "Lhaaso".
Construction and research have provided important support for China to be at the forefront of the world in the field of scientific research. In summary, China has made fruitful achievements in the fields of aerospace, aviation, shipbuilding and some scientific and technological infrastructure, demonstrating its continued strong innovation strength.
In the new year, we look forward to seeing more highlights of China's scientific and technological innovation and injecting new impetus into the sustainable development of China's scientific and technological undertakings. Looking back on the achievements of China's scientific and technological innovation, what are our views on the development of China's scientific and technological innovation?What are your expectations for China's next step in scientific and technological development?
We look forward to hearing from our readers to participate in the discussion.
