Since 2022, good news of the high-end equipment manufacturing industry has spread frequently. The Fuxing Winter Olympics train operated smoothly and achieved autonomous driving at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour for the first time in the world. The Hualong No. 1 demonstration project has been fully completed and put into operation, and China's comprehensive nuclear power has become the world's first phalanx. The two shield machines of "Jinghua" and "Canal" are rushing forward, and China's large-diameter shield construction technology ranks among the top in the world.

The equipment manufacturing industry is the backbone of the country and the backbone of the manufacturing industry. High-end equipment such as high-speed rail, nuclear power, and shield tunneling machines integrates strategic emerging industries and advanced manufacturing industries. The investment is large, the chain is long, the key technologies are complex, and the material and process requirements are strict. As a representative of China's equipment manufacturing industry, these "created in China" have changed from "following" and "running" in the international arena to "leading" in the past ten years, which is the epitome of the significant improvement of China's comprehensive national strength, and also demonstrates the independent and controllable industrial chain. Continued enhancement of capabilities.

The backbone of the manufacturing industry is upright, what is the internal strength? Building a solid industrial foundation, resolving industrial pain points, and striving to master the right to speak in technology are required courses. High-end equipment is often based on high-tech materials and technologies, but key core technologies cannot be obtained, bought, or negotiated. If the core components are fully imported, it is like building a house on someone else's wall. No matter how big or beautiful it is, it may not be able to withstand the wind and rain, or even vulnerable.

Don't let others get stuck in the neck, you have to straighten your back first. The world's smallest diameter milling cutter has been successfully developed, one grain of rice can mill 56 Chinese characters, greatly improving the machining accuracy of Chinese manufacturing; the first domestic flexible DC wall bushing has been put into use, breaking the technical blockade of key UHV equipment; turbine blades and other core components In the hands, the heavy-duty gas turbines have completely independent intellectual property rights, and the heavy equipment of big countries will be equipped with a stronger "Chinese heart"... Strengthen key technology research, promote scientific and technological self-reliance, and promote the deep integration of the innovation chain and industry chain. Only then can Chinese equipment be obtained. The manufacturing industry has a more stable foundation and more fruitful results.

Focusing on the frontier of the industry, studying the difficulties of the industry, and being willing to sit on the bench are the basic skills. Innovation is like trudging on a rugged mountain road. You have to cross the rock, experience hypoxia, and step through the iron shoes, in order to enjoy the joy of "infinite scenery on the dangerous peak". Such treks are often long and lonely, testing determination, patience, and perseverance.

When the waist of the manufacturing industry stands up, the heart of the manufacturer must sink. Different from laboratory innovation and industrial upgrading, in addition to paying attention to independent research and development, it also pursues quality stability and market economy after mass production, which makes the innovation cycle more durable. The large-tow carbon fiber known as "black gold" is less than 1/4 of the weight of steel, but its strength is 7 to 9 times that of steel. From the establishment of the technology development room in 2005 to the start of the major project in 2021, Shanghai Petrochemical took 11 Year; caprolactam, widely used in the innovation of new materials in automotive and other fields, the self-sufficiency rate has risen from 30% to 94%, after 30 years... It is the generation of scientific and technological people and industry people who have faced difficulties, persevered and cooperated sincerely , transforming valuable basic research into experimental samples and reliable products, so that China's equipment manufacturing industry has a stronger resilience and a safer ecology.

The new technological revolution and industrial transformation will reshape the global economic structure. "To seize the great opportunity of the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is to join in the construction of the new arena at the beginning, and even lead the construction of some arenas, so that we can become an important maker of new competition rules and a new competition venue. As an important leader in the field of strategic frontier and commanding heights, high-end equipment manufacturing needs to play a more obvious leading role in the 14th Five-Year Plan period, based on major technological breakthroughs and major development needs, enhance the competitiveness of key links in the industrial chain, and improve the supply of key industries. Chain system to build an independent and controllable industrial ecology.

Today, China has the world's largest R&D team, the largest number of invention patents, and more than 200,000 small and medium-sized technology-based and high-tech enterprises. It has a rich innovation base and has great potential to improve the basic capabilities of the industry and the modernization of the industry chain. As long as we stand up and continue to struggle, we will be able to firmly grasp the initiative of competition and development in our own hands. Editor/He Yuting
