In the 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's manufacturing industry has gone from being poor and white to becoming world-famous, with all kinds of blockades from Western countries, but it has been nicknamed "big but not strong"! There are still many people who insist that the Chinese only build assembly plants and only work as OEM for the technology consumer goods of American giants!
In the public impression of many in the West, China is still a backward country. Although with China's more and more open attitude to participate in the world division of labor, it is undeniable that for a long time, the image of Chinese manufacturing is still low technology content and manpower intensive. As a result, from shield machines, large aircraft, large cruise ships to the first domestic system, from 0 to 1, China is moving towards technological upgrading step by step.
Not long ago, the State Power Investment Corporation announced that the "brain" of the domestic independent heavy-duty gas turbine was delivered, which is the first domestic control system in this field. What is a heavy-duty gas turbine?
It is a large gas turbine for power generation and industrial applications with high power output and high efficiency. It is widely used in power plants, petrochemical industry, steel, fertilizer, oil and gas industry and other fields that require a lot of energy**. They have the ability to start and stop quickly, making them suitable for emergency power** and load regulation. In addition, heavy-duty gas turbines are relatively low maintenance and can run on many types of fuels, including natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and low-quality gas.
What China has broken the monopoly this time is that the heavy-duty gas turbine operating system refers to the software and hardware systems used to control and monitor the operation of heavy-duty gas turbines, which is the brain of this "big country". Suffering from the white eyes, China's manufacturing is still advancing, the domestic system is only the tip of the iceberg of China's manufacturing, whether it is a variety of forward-looking technology industry chains, or a variety of electronic equipment optimization, upgrading are obvious to all, even some foreign "blind" can see.
For example, our shield machines were rented from Western countries almost every time a tunnel was built a few decades ago, and Westerners were forbidden to sit on bystanders during the maintenance process on the grounds of preventing the theft of core technology. China's domestic large-diameter shield machine - "Jinghua", with 16 meters of excavation diameter and 11,000 kilowatts of total power, is now directly become the world's leader in the field of shield machines.
South Koreans said in 2021 that the mainland's shipbuilding technology was 2-3 years behind, but by November 2023, CSSC Waigaoqiao officially delivered the first domestically produced large cruise ship "Aida Modu". It also easily conquered the world's leading special steel - Yinwa Steel, and forced LNG** to drop by more than 10 million US dollars, which simply stabbed the "lung tube" of South Korean shipbuilders such as Samsung.
After talking about China's strong manufacturing industry, it has never been said that the output of electronic assembly plants processed with supplied materials is large. Rather, it is saying that China's core departments such as equipment manufacturing, heavy machinery, and chemical machinery are complete and highly technological. Rather, it is saying that the national brand supported by a large number of high-capacity and high-quality chemical enterprises and other hard high-end manufacturing industries has grown from scratch, from 0 to 1, and truly supported China's pride.
Imagine, when our planes, cruise ships, and high-speed trains begin to have a global presence, BlueStar has an absolutely effective basis to build everyone's confidence in the system – a system that grows with China.
