703 Research Institute is the only high-power ship main power research institute in China and the largest scientific research institute in Harbin. Mainly engaged in the application research and design of steam and gas turbine devices and equipment in the fields of ships and industries, power stations, thermal energy engineering, mechanical transmission, automatic control, etc., and undertaking the research, design, supply and test tasks of the main power of multi-type naval vessels. Since its establishment 45 years ago, the Institute has successfully developed a number of power equipment, such as nuclear power main turbine gear set, steam power main power device, gas-powered gas turbine and power transmission device, and hovercraft power device. These projects are the first time in China. The construction of 703 scientific research base is of great significance. After completion, research and tests will be conducted on the technical development in the power and energy fields such as marine steam turbine power, gas turbine power, rear transmission device and corresponding control and maintenance system, including basic research, parts test, complete machine verification test and system debugging test. It will also provide a strong support platform for the technological development of Heilongjiang Province in the field of electric energy such as nuclear power (advanced pressurized water reactor and high temperature gas cooled reactor), further enhance Heilongjiang Province's leading position in the field of national ship development and production with Harbin Institute of Technology, No.703 Institute and "Three Powers" as the core, and promote the sustainable development of local equipment manufacturing industry. According to reports, 703 research and test bases cover an area of 300,000 square meters, with a construction area of nearly 200,000 square meters, including three professional R&D centers, namely, the R&D center for the second loop of ship steam power and nuclear power, the R&D center for the ship gas turbine, the R&D center for the ship rear transmission device, the ship gas turbine, the combined power device, and the onshore test station for steam auxiliaries (the test center for the assembly and debugging of large-scale ship power devices) and 1.
