One, high-speed rail technology
The teacher was Germany and Japan, but today it clearly surpasses the teacher. 1978, there were only two high-speed railroads in the world, both of them Japan's Shinkansen. At that time, China's trains were still steam locomotives, the slow, rumbling kind that I used to ride when I was in college. Later, China wanted to buy Japan's Shinkansen outright, but the Japanese wouldn't sell it out of technological protection.
But we were so good at learning that it took researchers only four years to work out the Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway. And the situation reversal is getting bigger and bigger, now China has 25,000 kilometers of high-speed rail in operation, the total mileage has accounted for 65% of the world, ranking high in the world first!
Two, China's Eye in the Sky
Located in a remote county in Guizhou, "China's Eye in the Sky", has a unique geographic advantage, so that the Eye breaks through the telescope 100 meters of the limit of the extent of the project, so that it can be observed to extend to the stars! edge, thus exploring the molding process of the universe, playing a particularly huge role in human exploration of space. It is currently the world's largest 500-meter aperture spherical radio telescope , 50 times more sensitive than the West's current best, and the West says China will be the first country to discover an alien civilization with its new technological equipment.
Additionally, it could extend the ability to communicate from outer space to planets on the edge of the solar system, increasing the ability to receive data from satellites a hundredfold. It can also receive cosmic signals from more than 13 billion light-years away, playing a very large role in the search for alien civilizations civilizations. And inside the Earth, he can carry out high-resolution microwave patrol, detecting extremely weak space signals.
Three, China's development of nuclear clean energy technology
MIT's commissioner once claimed that: in the new generation of nuclear power energy developers, the United States and Europe stand still, but China has made a breakthrough, the Hualong one nuclear power project, which is the world's first third-generation nuclear power plant is about to be built. At present, China's independent third-generation nuclear power "Hualong One" domestic demonstration project is in the construction stage, the first overseas pile of Pakistan Karachi project is also under construction. In addition, the Bradwell B nuclear power project in the United Kingdom, a key step in investing in new nuclear power projects in the United Kingdom, will use "Hualong One" technology.
China and Argentina have signed a contract to build Argentina's fourth nuclear power plant using Hualong One technology. Another independent third-generation nuclear power - CAP1400 has not yet begun construction, but has emerged in the international nuclear power market, and its market development in South Africa, Turkey, Bulgaria and the United Kingdom is also in progress.
Four, wind power generation technology
China is actively promoting clean energy, wind power installed capacity reached 34.1% of the world, surpassing the United States and Europe. Not only in terms of quantity, but the wind power equipment developed in China is also the best in the world, and Germany's largest wind power companies are sourcing technology and equipment from China.
China's giant wind turbine SL5000 is the world's first, independently developed and manufactured by China, and there are only 2 in the world. This is the largest single wind turbine ever built, independently developed by a Chinese company, which not only has full intellectual property rights, but also leads the world in technology.
Fifth, solar power technology
China, in addition to having the world's largest solar power impingement capacity, in the new generation of solar power technology research is also in the world's leading position, the 90-year-old professor Liu Mingdao is one of the leaders. Recently, the National Energy Board released the first half of 2019 photovoltaic power generation construction and operation, the data show that, as of the end of June 2019, the national photovoltaic power generation cumulative installed capacity of 185.59 GW, an increase of 20% year-on-year, an increase of 11.4 GW. among them, centralized photovoltaic power generation installed capacity of 130.58 GW, an increase of 16% year-on-year, an increase of 6.82 GW; distributed photovoltaic power generation installed capacity of 55.02 GW, up 31% year-on-year, adding 4.58 GW.
Six, ultra-high-voltage output technology
China is the world's only mastery and promotion of ultra-high-voltage transmission countries, in the field of ultra-high-voltage industry is in the absolute leading position.
On September 25, 2013, the world's first 1,000-kilovolt (kV) same-tower double-circuit UHV AC project, the Anhui Electric Power Transmission to the East (WEPT), was officially put into operation! It marks that China has taken a unique step forward in the world in the extra-high voltage transmission, a particularly awesome technology! The completion of the ultra-high voltage transmission project, in the world of energy, power transmission and electrical manufacturing in a number of fields, triggered by the vibration is not less than eight earthquake.
Nobel Prize-winning physicist and then U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, in Washington, D.C., to the media entitled "Competition in the field of energy is becoming the United States of America's new satellite moments," said in a speech, "China's challenge to U.S. innovation leadership and the rapid development of an important area of the highest voltage, the highest transmission capacity, the lowest loss of extra-high-voltage alternating current, DC transmission." Jean Koval, Secretary General of the International Council of Large Electricity Grids (CIGRE), recognized the commissioning of the UHV AC project as "an important milestone in the history of the power industry." This is the highest evaluation of UHV given by international authorities so far.
Seven, infrastructure engineering technology
China is known as the "infrastructure demon" just because of the number of advantages? If so that you think that you are wrong, China's technology in infrastructure engineering is the world's first, in addition to the world's 91 high bridges China accounted for 71 seats, more importantly, China's infrastructure engineering technology and even Germany are all inferior.
China's money invested in infrastructure in 2016, totaling 11.89 trillion yuan, equivalent to 1.75 trillion U.S. dollars, if ranked according to GDP, can be ranked in the world's 10th, almost 41.6% of Japan's total GDP in 2015, note that Japan is the world's third largest economy. No country in the world, including the US, can afford to spend that much money on infrastructure.
A variety of architectural favorites around the world. For example, the tallest bridge, the longest bridge, the longest tunnel, etc. are all in China. For example, the world's longest bridge across the sea, the first is the Qingdao Bay Bridge, 41.6 kilometers, the second is the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, 35.7 kilometers, the third is the Zhuhai-Hong Kong-Macao Bridge, 35.6 kilometers, and the fourth is the East China Sea Bridge, 32.5 kilometers in Shanghai.
And then there are the world's tallest bridges, the world's top six are all in China, the picture below is China's sixth, and the world's sixth-highest Guizhou Qingshui River Bridge, 406 meters from the deck to the bottom of the valley, and the world's first is the Beipanjiang Bridge in Guizhou, with a height of 565 meters.
eight, artificial intelligence
This is the area that makes Americans the most nervous, and China has done very well, China has been on par with the United States in this field. But who can have such huge data as China's 700 million internet users to support AI research? It's a given that the U.S. is about to fall behind China.
Nine, quantum communication technology
Mercury quantum satellites, quantum communication 2000 kilometers of the Beijing-Shanghai trunk line, which are the only ones in the world, China has been more than a body length ahead of the second-place U.S. in this field.
The advanced quantum communications "Beijing-Shanghai trunk line" took the Chinese only 42 months to complete. China has broken through key technologies such as high-speed quantum key distribution, high-speed and high-efficiency single-photon detection, trusted relay transmission and large-scale quantum network control. This is an amazing achievement.
And in August 2016, China spent 100 million U.S. dollars to launch a quantum satellite, "Mozi," and in June this year, it realized quantum entanglement distribution at the thousand-kilometer level and accomplished the preset three major scientific goals. This has led international scholars to praise China's contribution to the field.
Ten supercomputers
The world's No. 1 supercomputer, the Shenwei TaihuLight, is five times larger than the U.S.'s best supercomputer, Titan, and the No. 2 supercomputer is also Chinese. Moreover, the CPU of China's supercomputer is completely independent of China's research and development, supercomputing is considered to be one of the core forces that make the United States leading technology, and now China has come to the forefront.
