At the end of 2023, the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies of Chinese University (Renmin University Chongyang) and Beijing Radio and Television Financial Channel jointly launched"When Finance Shines into Life" Annual Financial LectureLooking back on 2023 and looking forward to 2024. Senior Researcher of Chongyang, National People's CongressJia JinjingWith "scientific and technological innovation makes life more and more delicious."The following is the speech** and the content. Through a small takeaway, we can see the great ecology of Chinese-style innovation, and the yearning of 1.4 billion Chinese people for a better life has injected an inexhaustible impetus into Chinese modernization, and our lives will become more and more "delicious" with scientific and technological innovation

Click to view** Speaking of scientific and technological innovation, it is one of the proudest things for us Chinese today, our journey is the sea of stars, in fact, our lives, because of scientific and technological innovation, more and more closely connected with the sea of stars.
A few days ago, I used my mobile phone to order takeout, and a push popped up, abalone and mutton pot, I only had a few dozen yuan after using the coupon, and it was abalone and mutton, which seemed to be a good choice as a takeaway. I thought, abalone, isn't it a legendary and precious ingredient?As early as the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, abalone was ceremoniously recorded as a court tribute, and later included in one of the eight treasures of the sea. It can be said that since ancient times, abalone has been the top among the ingredients, and the main feature is the word "expensive". However, in reality, we see that abalone can now be made into cheap and affordable fast food, and takeaway is delivered to your door, how is this done?
Abalone used to be expensive, mainly because of the scarcity of production, and in 1985, China produced less than 100 tons of abalone a year. By 2022, China's annual abalone production exceeded 230,000 tons, an increase of more than 2,300 times from 1985, and it can be said that it is still growing rapidly, and it can already be used as an ordinary ingredient without pressure. From rare tributes to ordinary ingredients, the whole process of abalone, from breeding to serving on the table, every link is actually inseparable from our Chinese innovation. If it weren't for the great innovation in China's primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, abalone and mutton pots would not be able to be taken out.
Let's start with thatTransformation of the primary sectorWe can see how large-scale innovation can help modernize marine fisheries and modernize traditional industries. Abalone used to have low yields because it was pampered. In order to increase the production of seafood such as abalone, it is necessary to be able to artificially adjust various factors such as the temperature, salinity, and flow rate of the seawaterIt means that a lot of energy is needed, so behind the increase in abalone production is actually the large-scale innovation of China's energy system, such as ultra-high voltage transmission and smart grid, which not only brings us the popularization of green life such as electric vehicles, but also turns many once remote seashores into farms suitable for modern fisheries.
In 2023, on the journey of the sea, to what extent has our Chinese-style modernization evolved?In fact, China has developed wind fisheries, that is, wind turbines that generate electricity at sea, combined with large-scale cage farming, and the cages under the windmills play the role of fixing large windmills. Wind power has a characteristic, that is, with the wind power, sometimes large, sometimes small, it generates more electricity and sometimes less, so this problem can be solved by taking excess electricity to raise fish. Similarly, on the grassland, we can see an innovation called "photovoltaic sheep", which combines photovoltaic power generation with animal husbandry and sheep raising, which is a Chinese-style innovation. For example, the wind power fishery has functions such as intelligent feeding, intelligent monitoring, automatic net washing, and automatic fish collection, and the staff can view it in real time through the remote monitoring platform, so that the fishery can go beyond the traditional coastal area and go to the blue ocean.
Let's talk about itTransformation of the secondary sectorWe can see how digital innovation can help modernize industries and improve the operational efficiency of economic systems。Let's look at the example of abalone and mutton pot, abalone is produced from the sea, and mutton is produced from the grassland, obviously only if the two of them can meet, can they be stewed in one pot. Behind this is the digital upgrade of China's modern industrial system. We know that there are many types of abalone in this market, which are live, dried, and frozen, which means that each type has specific requirements for transportation, and the transportation requirements of different types are completely different. Abalone alone involves complex transportation, and how can millions of varieties of goods in the entire Chinese market be delivered in a timely and accurate manner, and then carried out a complex combination of "one-pot stew"?
In 2023, on the journey of digitalization, we can see that the development of artificial intelligence technology has made autonomous driving widely used. Among them, intelligent sorting in logistics is one of the most prominent areas of autonomous driving, and there are a large number of unmanned flatbed trolleys in unmanned warehouses, called unmanned guided vehicles, which are reluctant to quickly send packages from the intelligent shelves to the conveyor belt day and night, thus completing fully automatic sorting, which greatly improves the efficiency of logistics distribution.
A** (unmanned guided vehicle) can achieve fully automatic sorting, in fact, it is inseparable from the full popularization of 5G in China. As of November 2023, the number of 5G base stations in China has reached 3.82 million, accounting for 70% of the world's 5G base stations. The popularization of 5G technology means that the revolution of the industrial Internet has arrived, such as the Yizhuang Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone in Beijing, showing a variety of futuristic life pictures, and now it is getting closer and closer to the life of each of us.
Next, let's take a look at what kind of technological changes have taken place in the tertiary industry. We can see how systematic innovation can help transform the business ecosystem and promote high-quality developmentIn 2023, our consumption has been upgraded, in fact, as we have shown through the example of abalone and mutton pot, we only need to spend less money to enjoy products that used to be experienced at a high price, right, and this is inseparable from the power of Chinese-style scientific and technological innovation.
China's Beidou navigation system is advancing rapidly, because China has made an atomic clock with an error of only one second every 3 million years and installed it on the Beidou satellite, so the Beidou satellite plus our mobile phone, the navigation accuracy has reached the centimeter level, leading the world, what does this mean?This means that if your navigation accuracy is only 10 meters like in the past, then the takeaway brother may send your abalone and mutton pot directly to the building across the road, Beidou+In 2023, we can see that the Beidou system has been adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization as an international standard, which means that the domestic C919 large aircraft can also use Beidou navigation, so our macro business ecology can also make great strides on the road of Chinese-style modernization.
Through a small takeaway, we can see the great ecology of Chinese-style innovation, and the yearning of 1.4 billion Chinese people for a better life has injected an inexhaustible impetus into Chinese modernization, and our lives will become more and more "delicious" with scientific and technological innovationThank you.
