Since the beginning of this year, under the background of weak global economic growth, the trade situation has brought downward pressure and persistent risks to the American economy, and the American economy has shown an obvious slowdown trend. The Federal Reserve cut interest rates for three times this year, totaling 75 basis points, providing "buffer" and "insurance" for the American economy. The analysis believes that the US economy will still face many challenges next year, and trade policy is the biggest risk, which may bring great uncertainty to the US and even the global economic prospects.

　　The economy maintained expansion, but the growth slowed down.

　　Statistics released by the US Department of Commerce show that the real gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States increased by 3.1%, 2% and 2.1% at an annual rate in the first three quarters of this year respectively. In the fourth quarter, the US economy is expected to maintain moderate growth, but the forecast recently released by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE) shows that the median GDP growth forecast in the fourth quarter of this year is 2.1%, which is lower than the 2.5% in the same period last year. This year, the US economic growth rate may slow down to 2.3%, compared with 2.9% last year. Overall, it is difficult for the US economic growth rate to reach the 3% growth target set by the government.

　　At the same time, data from the US Department of Labor showed that the unemployment rate in November dropped by 0.1 percentage point from the previous month to 3.5%, which was the same as the lowest point in 50 years. In the third quarter of this year, personal consumption, which accounts for about 70% of the US economy, increased by 3.2%, which was lower than the increase of 4.6% in the previous quarter. Non-residential fixed assets investment, which reflects the investment situation of enterprises, fell by 2.3% compared with the previous quarter, and fell for two consecutive quarters, dragging down the economic growth of the quarter by 0.31 percentage points. In addition, net exports in the third quarter dragged down economic growth by 0.14 percentage points.

　　The Federal Reserve issued a statement on December 11th, saying that information since October showed that the US job market remained strong, economic activities expanded moderately, and the unemployment rate remained at a low level. Despite the strong growth of household consumption, fixed investment and exports of enterprises are still weak. In the last 12 months, the overall inflation rate and the core inflation rate excluding food and energy prices in the United States were both below 2%.

　　According to the data released by the American Institute of Supply Management on December 2, the purchasing managers’ index (PMI) of American manufacturing industry fell by 0.2 to 48.1 in November, shrinking for four consecutive months. The manufacturing industry continues to shrink, exacerbating concerns that the economic growth rate of the United States may slow down significantly in the fourth quarter of this year. At present, the manufacturing industry in the United States has fallen into a moderate recession, and there is little possibility of recovery in the short term. The weak manufacturing industry will continue to drag down employment growth and capital expenditure in the coming months.

　　Fed cuts interest rates three times to resist risks.

　　Affected by the global economic slowdown, tight trade situation and multiple uncertainties, the Fed’s interest rate policy has taken a "big turn" this year. After the last interest rate hike in December 2018, the Federal Reserve suspended interest rate hikes in January this year, and cut interest rates for three consecutive times in July, September and October, with a rate cut of 75 basis points.

　　On December 11th, the Federal Reserve ended its last monetary policy meeting this year, announcing that the target range of the federal funds rate would remain unchanged at 1.5% to 1.75%, ending the "three consecutive declines" in interest rates since July, and releasing a signal to the outside world that it would "stay put" in the future. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stressed that there is no predetermined path for interest rate policy, and if there is a "significant change" in the economic outlook, the Fed will respond. Powell also said that the US economy faced a series of major challenges in the past year. In order to provide "buffer" and "insurance" for the US economy, the Federal Reserve adopted the interest rate reduction strategy.

　　The data shows that as of October 31, the size of US Treasury bonds exceeded $23 trillion for the first time. At the same time, in fiscal year 2019, the fiscal deficit of the US federal government increased by about 26% year-on-year to about 984.4 billion US dollars, the highest level since 2012, and the proportion of deficit in GDP rose from 3.8% in the previous fiscal year to 4.6%. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the average annual federal fiscal deficit from fiscal year 2020 to fiscal year 2029 will be $1.2 trillion, which will be between 4.4% and 4.8% of GDP, higher than the average of 2.9% in the past 50 years. The severe fiscal deficit of the federal government and the increasing debt burden will limit the ability of Congress and the government to cope with the potential economic recession.

　　In the Financial Stability Report released last month, the Federal Reserve pointed out that the debt burden of American enterprises is also at a historical high, and the growth rate of corporate debt still exceeds the economic growth rate. Low interest rates and low credit costs make investors tend to take greater risks, which may increase the fragility of financial markets.

　　The International Monetary Fund (IMF) pointed out in its latest World Economic Outlook Report in October this year that "the global economy has fallen into a synchronized slowdown." The IMF predicts that the world economy will grow by only 3% this year, the lowest level since the international financial crisis in 2008. Among them, the economic growth rate of developed economies will slow down to 1.7%, and the growth rate of emerging markets and developing economies will slow down to 3.9%. The sharp slowdown in manufacturing and global trade has become the most remarkable feature of the world economy in the past year.

　　Trade policy becomes the biggest risk.

　　At present, the uncertainty related to trade has had a negative effect on investment. The National Association of Business Economics believes that trade policy will be the biggest risk facing the American economy.

　　According to data from the US Department of Commerce, the added value of US manufacturing accounted for 11% of the US real GDP in the second quarter of this year, dropping to a 72-year low. According to Bloomberg News, the United States imposed tariffs on goods from major trading partners, which was an important reason why the American manufacturing industry fell into recession earlier this year. The protectionist policies in the United States have disrupted the supply chain of enterprises, hindered enterprise investment and slowed down recruitment.

　　The national economic situation survey report released by the Federal Reserve at the end of November shows that the cost of American retailers has increased due to the increase in tariffs. Overall, American companies expect the price level to continue to rise. According to the analysis of the National Retail Federation of the United States, tariffs and the uncertainty they bring will bring "headwinds" to small and medium-sized enterprises, especially to small and medium-sized independent retailers. Imposing new tariffs will drag down the US economic development and push up the unemployment rate.

　　On December 19th, the House of Representatives of the United States Congress approved the revised US-Mexico-Canada Agreement by a vote of 385 votes in favor and 41 votes against, which is expected to be passed by the Senate next year. However, when the US-Mexico-Canada agreement came into effect, Trump’s trade vision turned to the EU. US Trade Representative Robert Wright Heze recently said that changing the trade situation between the United States and Europe will be one of the priorities of the Trump administration in 2020, and is currently considering imposing tariffs on EU products exported to the United States.

　　If the trade friction between Europe and the United States escalates, it will impact the bilateral trade with a scale close to 1.3 trillion US dollars. The persistent trade tension is also the main factor affecting the world economy. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development warned that the trade conflict is damaging the manufacturing industry, destroying the global value chain and causing serious uncertainty. Not long ago, the WTO drastically lowered the growth forecast of global merchandise trade in 2019 to 1.2%, far lower than the growth forecast of 2.6% in April.

　　Editor’s note:

　　It was a good year in Qiu Guang!

　　The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has achieved fruitful results and far-reaching significance. The central authorities demand that the spirit of the 19th Party Congress be promoted to enter enterprises, rural areas, government offices, campuses, communities, military camps and the Internet, so as to inspire the cadres and the masses to forge ahead and work hard, and further make full efforts and forge ahead courageously. Starting today, People’s Daily will launch a series of reports on the "Seven Enters" of the Spirit of the 19th National Congress, and the seventh article will focus on military camps.

　　Without exquisite courseware and fixed lesson plans, officers and men sat on the training ground, and the "golden times" propaganda team of a brigade of the 72nd Army began to speak. They turned the spirit of the report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China into the favorite language of soldiers and soldiers, and put the great changes that have taken place in the motherland and the army in recent years into one thing, so that officers and soldiers can listen and understand.

　　The 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was successfully concluded, and the horn of the new journey sounded. Over the past few days, the whole army and the Armed Police Force have conscientiously implemented President Xi’s important instructions that the army should stick to the road of strengthening the army with China characteristics and comprehensively promote the modernization of national defense and the army, and a craze for studying and implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has rapidly arisen. The military camp is full of vitality everywhere, showing a fiery picture of careful study, in-depth discussion and hard work.

　　Walking in the forefront, quickly rising learning craze.

　　The cross-flow of the sea shows the mainstay, and the mountains are majestic to see the main peak. Whenever history enters a key node, there must always be the brilliance of thought to guide the direction.

　　The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China marked the historical orientation of the new era, defined the guiding ideology of the new era, and put forward the goal of the new era. The deployment of national defense and army building in the report is a blueprint for the development of strengthening the army in the coming period, and it is a magnificent prospect for the people’s army to develop faster and climb in an all-round way.

　　President Xi pointed out that national defense and army building are standing at a new historical starting point. In the face of profound changes in the national security environment and the requirements of the times to strengthen the country and the army, we must fully implement the Party’s thought of strengthening the army in the new era, implement the military strategic policy under the new situation, build a powerful modern army, navy, air force, rocket army and strategic support force, build a strong and efficient theater joint operational command organization, build a modern operational system with China characteristics, and assume the mission and task entrusted by the Party and the people in the new era.

　　On October 26th, the Central Military Commission held a deployment meeting in Beijing to study and implement the spiritual work of the 19th Party Congress. The meeting emphasized that conscientiously studying and implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is the most practical embodiment of the people’s army resolutely listening to the party’s command and safeguarding the core, and it is also the requirement of the times to use the party’s will to advocate focusing on the troops and condensing the majestic power of strengthening the country and strengthening the army. In accordance with the deployment requirements of the CPC Central Committee and President Xi, the whole army and the Armed Police Force should quickly rise to study and implement the spirit of the 19th Party Congress, strive to be in the forefront, achieve practical results in unifying thoughts and rallying strength, gain practical results in recognizing the mission and strengthening their responsibilities, and achieve practical results in promoting work and seeing actions.

　　Rui Wang, the squad leader of Huangcaoling Gongchen Company, a brigade of the 74th Army of the Army, preached the spirit of the 19th National Congress for more than a thousand officers and men. (Photo: Cong Weiyi)

　　"To study and implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the most important thing is to arm our minds with the supreme leader’s thought of strengthening the army, always be a good soldier of the party, keep up with the pace of the new era, and improve our winning skills." On October 27th, Wang Ruigang, the representative of the 19th National Congress and the squad leader of Huangcaoling Gongchen Company, a brigade of the 74th Army of the Army, put down his luggage and went directly to the podium to preach the spirit of the 19th National Congress for more than a thousand officers and men.

　　"Listening to President Xi’s report, I feel more deeply about the grand goal of our party, and the dream of strengthening the country and strengthening the army will certainly come true. As a member of the heroic army, we must not live up to this era, and the responsibility and burden on our shoulders will be heavier! " Wang Chun-Tian Gang, the representative of the 19th National Congress and the battalion commander of the Hero Camp of a brigade of the Air Force Ground Command in the Central Theater, returned to the camp and gave a lecture in the activity of "Officers and Men Ask and Representatives Answer".

　　Deep in the underground palace, the officers and men of the Rocket Army gathered together to discuss the report of the 19th National Congress. (Source: China Military Network)

　　Golden autumn is like a fire, and maple leaves decorate the mountains. On a missile position of the Rocket Army, Zhong Kunlong, the battalion commander of the Second Launch Battalion, hung a bright "sun painting" on the wall. For the "underground dragon palace", sunshine is a rare luxury, and this "sun painting" is used to comfort the soldiers’ desire for sunshine.

　　At this moment, the officers and men of the battalion have been living and training in the depths of rock formations for many days. Everyone watched the recorded grand occasion of the 19 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China over and over again, and they were extremely excited and proud. The officers and men invariably brought paper and brushes and painted the "sun painting" extraordinarily red. They said that the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, like the light of the sun, illuminates the way forward.

　　At an altitude of 4,700 meters, a brigade of the 77th Group Army, which has just been transferred to the garrison, has been studying and discussing the theme of "How to build the people’s army into a world-class army in an all-round way and shoulder the mission of the new era entrusted by the party and the people". Everyone held a word and spoke enthusiastically: "To be a good successor of the Red Army is to always listen to and follow the party. We will not forget our initial intentions, remember our mission and turn it into a powerful driving force for transformation and construction. "

　　Time waits for no one to forge ahead in the new era, and seize the day to start a new journey. More and more officers and men realize that only by better unifying their thoughts and actions with the Party’s thought of strengthening the army in the new era can they break through the barriers and win victories on the road of strengthening the army with China characteristics and shoulder the historical mission of the new era entrusted by the Party and the people, which is also the most important achievement in studying and implementing the spirit of the 19th Party Congress.

　　Learn to understand and make the spirit of the 19th National Congress take root at the grassroots level.

　　The ancients said, "Words can speak, but actions can be taken, and national treasures are also available." Close contact with the actual situation of the army, conscientiously do a good job in interpretation, anatomy and doubts, and advanced theories will naturally "quench their thirst."

　　The key to arming the mind with the supreme leader’s thought of strengthening the army is to truly understand the positions, viewpoints and methods contained in it. In the past two days, in a synthetic brigade of the 78th Army, a learning manual was distributed to the soldiers at the first time. The theoretical backbone of the battalion company adopted the method of combining cadres’ guidance with individual self-study to guide the officers and men to read through, intensively read and deeply read the report of the 19th National Congress, so as to achieve deep learning, thorough understanding and effective use.

　　A landing ship detachment of the South China Sea Fleet has extended its study to every battle position through sailors’ learning software and front-line cadres’ preaching in view of the frequent performance of tasks by naval forces at sea.

　　Sobriety in theory leads to political firmness, and progress in thought leads to consciousness in action. A brigade of airborne troops, the Armed Police Special Police College and Hengyang Garrison established and improved learning transformation mechanisms such as experience exchange, guidance and help, and difficulty analysis. Focusing on improving the ability to win, we selected learning topics, conducted in-depth training to test the learning effectiveness, and promoted the spirit of the 19th National Congress to enter the classroom, the sentry post and the platoon.

　　With the science of faith, we can learn faith, and with the science of emotion, we can learn feelings. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward many new ideas and theories, and determined many new tasks and measures. On the basis of original reports, all units innovated learning methods, so that officers and men could think more, deepen their understanding, really understand and get through, and be sober in theory and firm in politics.

　　A brigade of the 75th Army changed its previous learning methods of copying notes, making plans and memorizing key points. Relying on the platform of the grassroots information window of the political work network, soldiers were allowed to cross classes and give small lectures in micro-classes, and officers and men were encouraged to actively learn the spirit of the 19th National Congress. A certain regiment of the Rocket Army set up a "micro-classroom", produced and distributed a "multi-dimensional diagram", and a certain regiment of the Army in the Central Theater held a "theoretical study night school" to deepen the understanding and grasp of the spirit of the conference and formulate specific measures for implementation.

　　In the western theater, the Army, a certain unit of the Armed Police, a brigade of the Air Force Aviation and a brigade of the 77th Army held a report activity on the 19th National Congress of Joint Military-Civil Studies, which took the form of printing and distributing brochures, holding photo exhibitions and opening small lecture halls to convey the voice of the Party to the resident masses.

　　He who knows himself is English, and he who wins himself is male. Ideological understanding, sublimation in learning and understanding; Calm and confident, strengthen in repeated study.

　　The Central Military Commission’s deployment meeting on studying and implementing the spiritual work of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that it is necessary to "pay attention to understanding ideological viewpoints, understanding thinking methods and forming thinking measures from the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and transform them into the practical ability to promote the army building through politics, reforming and strengthening the army, developing the army through science and technology, and managing the army according to law". If this requirement is implemented, officers and men will naturally strengthen their backbone and "set the star" in their armed minds, with an indomitable mental state.

　　Work hard and focus on training, preparing for war and winning.

　　Have the courage to take responsibility and push forward. Over the past few days, the officers and men of the whole army have turned their political enthusiasm for studying the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China into an inexhaustible motive force to practice their winning skills and temper their winning soldiers.

　　From the jungle in the south to the desert in the northwest, from the deep ocean to the sky in Wan Li, the officers and men took off from Hawk again and again, the chariots roared again and again, and the missiles stood up again and again, witnessing the changes brought about by the rooting of combat effectiveness standards.

　　Recently, an air defense brigade of the 79th Army of the Army seriously studied the report of the 19th National Congress and carried out targeted training. Just after returning to the camp after participating in the "Firepower-2017 Shandan" cross-regional exercise, the troops launched a resumption deduction based on the problems exposed in the exercise. In an interview with CCTV, Qi Genguo, the battalion commander of the first battalion of surface-to-air missiles, said: "In this year’s Shandan exercise, the blue army’s step by step pressure made us feel the smell of actual combat, and also exposed some shortcomings and deficiencies, and also found the right direction and power point for the next step of air defense training under the new establishment system."

　　Quick positioning, quick entry of diving equipment, towing of submarines … … On October 24th, in a certain sea area of the South China Sea, a new type of ocean-going tugboat of the South China Sea Fleet was conducting a life-saving towing drill under actual combat conditions, and more than 30 certifications related to equipment and personnel capabilities were adopted. In an interview with the People’s Liberation Army Daily, the leaders of the Ministry said that after studying and implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress, they paid more attention to innovation and greatly advanced the training process.

　　After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, the Party Committee of the Ministry earnestly studied and implemented the spirit of the 19th National Congress for the first time, and the statement of "paying more attention to innovation drive" in the report made everyone suddenly enlightened. After argumentation, they worked out a new model of "trial training while building". At present, the unit’s multi-directional pick-up forces are being trained according to the new trial training mode.

　　At night, a missile brigade of the Rocket Army launched a battalion of officers and men to carry out combat readiness drills. However, when the team left the camp less than 200 meters, it was stopped because the details of vehicle camouflage were not in place. The battalion commander Zhao Shenggui asked everyone to start all over again. Only this small detail was repeatedly "tossed" three times.

　　"Usually organize training, why should it be so harsh!" Faced with the questions of some officers and men, battalion commander Zhao Shenggui immediately organized everyone to review the relevant contents of the report of the 19th National Congress. Each team discussed the statement that "all work must adhere to the standard of combat effectiveness and focus on being able to fight and win" in combination with the actual situation of the battle. Everyone agrees that studying and implementing the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China means using these ideas to guide work, integrate into training and enter the battlefield.

　　More than nine days later, a brigade of the Air Force Aviation in the Eastern Theater turned its political enthusiasm for studying the spirit of the 19th National Congress into the motivation for training and preparing for war, and a number of fighters launched a fight in the cloud, setting off a free air combat confrontation training upsurge & HELIP; …

　　According to the weather changes, the brigade flexibly adjusted the study plan of "great concentration and small self-study" to achieve flight learning, systematically reviewed the battle tracks of troops going to the plateau, going out of the island chain, fighting in the northwest and patrolling in the southeast in recent years, and guided officers and men to turn their daring loyalty into vivid practice of strengthening the army and strengthening the army, and assiduously practiced their winning skills in battle positions.

　　"To achieve the party’s goal of strengthening the army in the new era and build the people’s army into a world-class army in an all-round way, we must seize the key of being able to fight and win the battle, and have a great strengthening in preparing for war." On November 3rd, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader delivered an important speech when he inspected the Joint Operations Command Center of the Central Military Commission, profoundly expounding the strategic significance and practical requirements of comprehensively improving the ability to prepare for war in the new era.

　　The Supreme Leader stressed that the whole army should conscientiously study and implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, thoroughly study and implement the Party’s thought of strengthening the army in the new era, implement the military strategic policy under the new situation, strengthen the mission, strengthen reform and innovation, strengthen the implementation of work, comprehensively improve the ability to prepare for war in the new era, and provide strategic support for realizing the goal of "two hundred years" and the Chinese dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　New ideas lead a new era, and new missions start a new journey.

　　This is an era that needs to create great achievements and can also create great achievements. Stepping on the land of the motherland and shouldering the hope of the nation, the officers and men of the whole army and the armed police force are marching inexorably and courageously on the journey of building a world-class army.

Xinhua News Agency On February 18th, farmers in Pingyi Street, Pingyi County, Linyi City were driving agricultural machinery to plough the land.

The spring sun shines on the wheat seedlings, and it is full of vitality and green. At present, the solar term of rain has passed, and the wheat in our province is gradually entering the green period from south to north, which also ushered in the critical period of field management in spring. On the fertile land of Qilu, new cultivation has begun and a new harvest is gestating.

"This’ high-tech’ is the’ clairvoyance’ and’ clairvoyance’ of our farmers!" In a wheat field in Kongzhen Town, Leling City, agricultural technology experts are skillfully operating the soil analyzer to monitor the soil moisture, and Han Liyong, a big planter who witnessed the whole process, gave a thumbs up.

In the past, Han Liyong relied on experience in farming. When to water and how much fertilizer to apply, he actually had no idea. Whether the harvest is good or not depends largely on the "face" of God. "Take the year before last, for example, there were a few plots where the wheat seedlings grew sparse and uneven fertilization. In some places, the fertility was too high, the wheat seedlings grew crazy, but the wheat grains were not full." He said.

"Now the situation is very different. With the’ new style’ brought by agricultural technology experts, we have a bottom in farming." Han Liyong said that last year, the soil analyzer showed that the nitrogen content of a wheat field in his family was low. According to the data, agricultural technology experts immediately formulated a scientific fertilization plan. "Fertilizing according to this plan can not only make wheat seedlings grow strong, but also avoid fertilizer waste and reduce the cost a lot."

In Shandong, more and more growers like Han Liyong benefit from advanced agricultural technology and equipment. During the autumn planting last year, various localities vigorously promoted key technologies such as seed coating, fine soil preparation, and standardized sowing with "four adaptations and two pressures", and the quality of wheat sowing and emergence in the province was generally good. In order to further strengthen the support of agricultural science and technology, the agricultural and rural departments of our province recently launched the agricultural technology service campaign, and organized 18,000 agricultural technology extension workers and industrial system experts at the provincial, city, county and township levels to go deep into the front line to carry out agricultural production guidance, technical skills training and professional services.

"Since last winter, there has been less precipitation, and most of the wheat fields have insufficient surface moisture, and the spring moisture loss is faster, which is easy to form early spring drought. Therefore, for the plots that have not been watered for the winter, it is necessary to irrigate them with small water in time after turning green; For plots that have been watered with overwintering water and suitable moisture content, don’t rush to irrigate. After the soil is frozen in early spring, mechanical suppression will be carried out to reduce water evaporation, which will play a role in warming, preserving moisture, fighting drought and controlling prosperity. " Guan Xiumin, a senior agronomist in the first crop department of the Provincial Agricultural Technology Extension Center, said that it is necessary to strengthen fertilizer and water management. For weak seedling wheat fields, soil moisture should be used for topdressing during thawing and returning to pulp. For Wangmiao wheat field, fertilizer and water should be delayed appropriately.

In the wheat field of Xiaolai Agricultural Machinery Professional Service Cooperative in Hedong District, Linyi City, a coiled sprinkler was used for watering. "The moving speed of the reel and the injection radius of the water pipe can be adjusted, which is efficient and convenient." Zhang Xiaolai, chairman of the cooperative, praised the new agricultural machinery. "With the reel sprinkler, far water can quench your thirst, so you don’t have to worry about irrigation this year!"

In the wheat field on the other side, with the ups and downs of the drone several times, the spring fertilization work of a whole wheat field was completed. "Water after applying fertilizer to ensure that the nutrition of fertilizer is absorbed by wheat seedlings faster."

In Qingdao, a drip irrigation pipe changed the traditional way of watering and fertilizing. "At present, in Qingdao, the integration technology of drip irrigation water and fertilizer has entered the scale grain field from the experimental field. In 2024, the integrated application area of drip irrigation water and fertilizer for wheat and corn will reach more than 1.5 million mu." Li Songjian, deputy director of Qingdao Agricultural Technology Extension Center, said that years of production practice showed that wheat and corn could achieve the green yield-increasing goal of saving water by 30%, saving fertilizer by 20% and increasing production by 10% by applying drip irrigation technology.

Building high-standard farmland is a key measure to consolidate and improve grain production capacity. Since 2019, Juye County has carried out planning and design according to the high standards of "Tian Chengfang, Lin Chengwang, roads connected, canals connected, dry energy irrigation and waterlogging energy drainage", and accumulated 436,000 mu of high-standard farmland.

In HouXu Cun, Dongguantun Town, Juye County, the spring irrigation of high-standard farmland has been fully started. Looking around, irrigation channels crisscross, and wheat seedlings in the field are green. "After the completion of high-standard farmland, the Yellow River water will be led to the wheat field for unified irrigation through the pumping station, and the farmers will not have to work hard to water the wheat." Xu Zhengkun, post-Xu Cun Party branch secretary, said with emotion.

In the process of high-standard farmland construction, Juye County not only vigorously improved infrastructure such as irrigation, drainage and roads, but also carefully built a "four-situation monitoring" system that integrates seedling situation, insect situation, soil moisture and weather conditions. "This is like the’ wisdom brain’ of agricultural production. With it, we can accurately grasp all the conditions of farmland." Han Jiliang, an agricultural technology expert, said.

I don’t know what you think of domestic cars, but what I want to introduce to you today is domestic cars. Let’s take a look at its performance.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of Warrior 917. The front face of Warrior 917 is very fierce and unforgettable. Then, the cold headlight design was adopted, which upgraded it to a certain level. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, front fog lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light and so on. Coming to the side of the car body, the size of the car body is 5052 mm * 2150 mm * 2059 mm. The car adopts spiritual lines, giving people a very calm feeling. With large-sized thick-walled tires, the shape is eye-catching. Looking back, the overall shape of the rear of the car echoes the front face, and the taillights are very dynamic and lively. Overall, they are relatively round.

Sitting in the car, the interior looks very sharp and the whole looks very elegant. The steering wheel of the car is well designed, equipped with electric up and down+front and rear adjustment, steering wheel memory and other functions, which makes people fondle it. From the central control point of view, with the 15.6-inch central control screen, the interior design is quite layered, and the details are still in place. Finally, let’s take a look at the dashboard and seats. The dashboard design is remarkable and the display effect is excellent. The car uses leather seats, which are wrapped in place and are very comfortable to ride.

The car is equipped with car networking, driving mode selection, remote control key, Bluetooth key, rear wiper, traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.), and the configuration performance is passable and basically satisfactory.

What’s your main impression of this car after reading the whole article? The model class introduced today is the most considered class when many people buy their first car, mainly because the size of this class is moderate and the price is reasonable.

From August, a number of new regulations will be implemented one after another, involving employment, pension, artificial intelligence, intellectual property rights and other aspects.

For example, in the management of artificial intelligence services, the new regulations clearly stipulate that the provision and use of generative artificial intelligence services should respect the legitimate rights and interests of others, and must not infringe on others’ rights of portrait, reputation, honor, privacy and personal information.

In terms of local laws and regulations, Sichuan has fully opened the "inter-provincial general office" business for newborn babies. Chongqing officially requires catering, tourism and accommodation industries not to provide disposable goods on their own initiative, while Xiamen clearly stipulates that pedestrians crossing zebra crossings will be warned or fined.

Revision of monopoly behavior in intellectual property field: three types of behaviors are included in the scope of adjustment

The newly revised Provisions on Prohibiting Abuse of Intellectual Property Rights to Exclude and Restrict Competition came into effect on August 1st. Among them, the connotation of "abuse of intellectual property rights to exclude and restrict competition" is expanded, and three types of monopolistic behaviors, such as reaching monopoly agreements by exercising intellectual property rights, abusing market dominance, and implementing concentration of operators that have or may have the effect of excluding and restricting competition, are included in the scope of adjustment.

At the same time, we will improve the rules for the determination of monopolistic behaviors by exercising intellectual property rights, and improve and refine the definition of relevant markets, the determination and presumption of market dominance, the determination of monopolistic behaviors, the considerations for centralized examination of operators and the specific types of additional restrictive conditions, so as to enhance the guidance and operability of the rules.

In addition, the Regulations strengthen the regulation of typical and special monopolistic behaviors in the field of intellectual property rights, such as improving the relevant provisions on patent pools and prohibiting patent pool entities and members from using patent pools to engage in monopolistic behaviors.

Standardizing the entrusted appraisal of mediation before litigation: the principle of voluntary participation of the parties should be followed.

The "Regulations" also clarify that the old-age care institutions with fire control rooms should implement a 24-hour double duty system (single person can be on duty according to the requirements of local laws and regulations), and the personnel on duty should hold the professional qualification certificate of operators of fire control facilities and be familiar with the operating procedures of fire control rooms to ensure their normal operation.

Standardize human resources services: no discriminatory recruitment, no personal deposit.

The Regulations on the Administration of Human Resources Service Institutions came into effect on August 1, which is the first regulation in China to systematically regulate human resources service institutions and related activities. This "Regulation" clarifies that when a human resources service institution accepts the recruitment of personnel entrusted by an employer, the recruitment information released shall be true and legal, and shall not contain discriminatory contents in terms of nationality, race, gender, religious beliefs, etc.

In addition, the "Regulations" also clarify that operating human resources service institutions may not collect deposits from individuals, or collect deposits in disguised form in the name of guarantees. It is clear that the human resources service agency shall mark the expiration date or update it in time for the job recruitment information released by it. To carry out the collection and release of human resources supply and demand information, we should establish and improve the information release review and complaint handling mechanism to ensure that the released human resources supply and demand information is true, legal and effective.

Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence: The legitimate rights and interests of others should be respected.

General Administration of Market Supervision: CCC certification management for lithium-ion batteries, etc.

According to the announcement issued by the General Administration of Market Supervision, CCC certification management will be implemented for lithium-ion batteries, battery packs and mobile power sources from August 1, 2023. Since August 1, 2024, those who have not obtained CCC certification certificate and marked certification mark shall not leave the factory, sell, import or use it in other business activities.

Due to the chemical characteristics of lithium batteries and charging treasures, when the production process and structure of the products do not meet the technical requirements such as national standards, or in special situations such as extreme high and low temperature, serious collision and long-term overcharge during transportation and use, it is easy to get out of control of heat, causing the batteries to swell, which will lead to safety problems such as fire, explosion, overheating or liquid leakage.

Strengthen the supervision of automobile finance: the business scope is extended, allowing the establishment of overseas subsidiaries.

The revised Measures for the Administration of Auto Finance Companies came into effect on August 11th, further strengthening the supervision of auto finance companies.

[Global Military Report] The large-scale construction of nuclear power plants in China has always attracted the attention of all sectors of society. Nur Bai Keli, director of the National Energy Administration, revealed on the 6th that by 2020, the total installed capacity of nuclear power in operation and under construction in China will reach 88 million kilowatts. However, the painful lessons of several major nuclear accidents abroad have made many people "smell the nuclear color change". As the expectation of "the 13th Five-Year Plan" for inland nuclear power in China continues to heat up, many people on the Internet have questioned the safety of building nuclear power plants in inland China. Taohuajiang nuclear power station, Hunan Province is one of the first inland nuclear power plants in China. Zheng Yanguo, deputy to the National People’s Congress and general manager of Hunan taohuajiang Nuclear Power Co., Ltd., gave a detailed introduction to the multiple safety guarantees of China nuclear power plant in an interview with the Global Times reporter on the 6th.

What the hell is an inland nuclear power plant?

Recently, the controversial "inland nuclear power plant" on the Internet is actually not a professional concept. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) usually divides the site of nuclear power plants into three categories: coastal, riverside and lakeside according to the different water sources and receiving bodies. Zheng Yanguo said, according to the custom, we collectively refer to the sites of riverside and lakeside as inland nuclear power plants, and the nuclear power plants by the sea as coastal nuclear power plants. "In fact, apart from China, other countries in the world don’t have the term" inland nuclear power ". In China’s nuclear safety regulations, guidelines and standards, the word’ inland nuclear power’ is not seen. "

Zheng Yanguo said that the safety standards of Binhai, Binhe and Binhu nuclear power plants are the same at home and abroad. "The difference is that it is necessary to carry out adaptive design according to the conditions and environmental capacity of the site." He further introduced that, for example, as a coastal site, Japanese nuclear power plants consider the tsunami to a greater extent than Qinshan nuclear power plant, because Qinshan nuclear power plant does not have the conditions for a large-scale tsunami; Coastal nuclear power plants in cold areas should consider the freezing of water intake sources, while coastal nuclear power plants in subtropical areas are not necessary; Similarly, threats such as tsunami and wind wave should be considered in coastal sites, and there is no tsunami in inland areas, but floods should be considered; Because of the different receiving water bodies, the emission standard of coastal nuclear power plants is lower than that of inland, and the ability of coastal areas to withstand thermal pollution is higher than that of inland areas (so inland nuclear power plants will build cooling towers for secondary circulation cooling). He also said that in fact, more than half of the nuclear power units in operation in the world are located in inland areas.

Multiple technologies to ensure more reliable reactors

Some people also question whether the nuclear power plants built in China are safe even if there is no difference in safety standards between inland and coastal nuclear power plants. For nuclear power plants, the most terrible thing is the reactor accident. Zheng Yanguo said that two indicators, namely "core damage frequency (CDF)" and "early release frequency of a large amount of radioactivity (LERF)", are used internationally to show the safety level of the reactor. Core damage is a serious accident. The lower the CDF value, the lower the frequency of reactor melting. LERF refers to the probability that radioactive materials will enter the environment after a serious accident and the containment will fail further. In this regard, the safety indicators of China nuclear power plant are stricter than international standards. For example, he said, the International Atomic Energy Agency requires the CDF of nuclear power plants to be 10-4, and the requirements in the Requirements Document for Nuclear Power Users in the United States are 10-5, while the CDF of third-generation nuclear power technologies such as AP1000 and Hualong No.1 adopted by China is 10-7. Generally speaking, the CDF of AP1000 reactor used in taohuajiang nuclear power station is more stringent than the international standard, and the probability of accidents is lower.

How is this high safety of the reactor achieved? According to reports, at present, the AP1000 nuclear power technology adopted by China’s nuclear power plants has learned the lessons from the accidents at Three Mile Island in the United States, Chernobyl in the former Soviet Union and Fukushima in Japan, and learned from the experience feedback of the world’s nuclear power plants for decades and a large number of research results. On the basis of the traditional pressurized water reactor nuclear power technology, a "passive" safety system has been adopted. Zheng Yanguo said that the Fukushima nuclear accident was caused by the tsunami caused by the earthquake, which caused the power failure of the nuclear power plant, and the reactor could not be cooled, which led to the big explosion and the core melting. The "passive" technology of AP1000 safety system can drive the safety system of nuclear power plant by using natural phenomena such as gravity and material gravity, which can ensure that the Fukushima nuclear accident will not be repeated even if there is a power outage similar to that in Fukushima, Japan.

The proposed nuclear power plant can withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake.

One of the major natural risks faced by inland nuclear power plants is earthquakes. Zheng Yanguo said that according to the requirements of China’s nuclear safety regulations, a detailed seismic safety evaluation should be conducted at the site selection stage of nuclear power plants, and the evaluation should be completed by professional technicians from the national seismological department. According to the evaluation results, the inland nuclear power plant site needs to be in the low seismic activity area, and the near area of the plant site does not have the conditions for a major earthquake.

At the same time, according to the requirements of China’s nuclear safety regulations and the seismic safety code for nuclear power plants, the horizontal and vertical acceleration of the AP1000 unit to be built in the inland site is 0.3g. The evaluation of seismic margin shows that when the horizontal and vertical acceleration of the ground is lower than 0.5G, it can ensure the safe shutdown and maintain a safe state, which is much higher than the design reference ground motion (0.15G) of the nuclear power plant site. The peak value of ground horizontal acceleration in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant in the Fukushima earthquake of magnitude 9 in Japan is estimated to be 0.41G to 0.50G, that is to say, the AP1000 nuclear power plant to be built by inland nuclear power can also ensure safety in an environment similar to the Fukushima earthquake of magnitude 9 in Japan.

As a "just in case" response, the nuclear power plant has carefully considered the feasibility of emergency preparation and response for nuclear accidents before going to Malaysia. At the site selection stage, it has formulated a regional nuclear emergency plan according to the site conditions (population distribution, transportation, meteorology, medical care, communication, agricultural and sideline production, water resources utilization and external events), and demonstrated the feasibility of implementing emergency protection and medium-and long-term protection actions. These measures can ensure the safety of nearby residents as much as possible when accidents occur.

At the same time, considering the concerns of the public in China, inland nuclear power plants must formulate emergency plans to ensure the safety of water resources under serious accident conditions and ensure that environmental risks can be controlled. These measures include: using safe factory buildings to store radioactive sewage, and equipped with a number of large-capacity discharge tanks as a supplement or backup to the storage capacity of waste liquid; The foundation and foundation of the nuclear power plant adopt leak-proof design, and the pipelines entering and leaving the containment are separated by double valves, and radioactive pollutant inhibitors and zeolite filtration devices are equipped. Space shall be reserved in the factory area for installation of mobile emergency waste liquid treatment device in case of emergency. Through these measures, even in extreme cases, radioactive sewage can be stored, blocked, isolated and treated.

Zheng Yanguo emphasized, "In summing up the lessons of the Fukushima nuclear accident, the international nuclear energy community did not mention that inland nuclear power plants have the risk of endangering water resources security, which shows that the risk of inland nuclear power plants to water resources security belongs to’ residual risk’ which is lower than the risk of various serious accidents. For such’ residual risks’, the international nuclear energy community no longer requires fortification in regulations and standards. "

Nuclear science popularization has a long way to go.

In February, 2008, the National Development and Reform Commission approved three inland nuclear power projects in taohuajiang, Hunan, Dafan, Hubei and Pengze, Jiangxi to carry out preparatory work. Taohuajiang nuclear power project was originally planned to formally start construction in 2011 and put into commercial operation in 2015. However, the accident of Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan in 2011 brought the inland nuclear power projects in the above three places to an abrupt end. Nur Bai Keli said on the 6 th, "We are still conducting in-depth argumentation on the construction of nuclear power plants in the inland and listening to opinions from all walks of life. There is no clear timetable at present."

In recent years, the development of clean energy in China has advanced by leaps and bounds, but the total amount of nuclear power is still at a low level. Relevant statistics show that the total installed capacity of nuclear power in operation in China only accounts for 1.78% of the total installed capacity of electricity, far below the average level of 15%-20% in developed countries. Many China nuclear power experts interviewed by Global Times generally believe that there are no technical problems in the construction of inland nuclear power plants, but there are obvious deficiencies in nuclear science popularization. The current development of nuclear power in China is largely related to the public’s acceptance of nuclear power.

Zheng Yanguo said that taohuajiang nuclear power station has carried out a series of popular science work for the people around it. For example, through the nuclear power open day, the surrounding organs and villagers are organized to visit the built Qinshan nuclear power base to eliminate nuclear fears and doubts. In the process of communication with the public, he felt that it is the common work of the whole industry or society to carry out public communication on nuclear power.

　　Overseas Network August 28th According to New York Post’s report, on August 27th, local time, hundreds of people in new york held a rally to protest against the new york administration’s ineffective handling of the immigration crisis.

　　At a rally on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, some people shouted outside the residence of new york Mayor Adams, "No immigrants on Long Island. We paid a lot of property taxes! " Some people who oppose immigration hold up signs and warn that "uncensored immigration puts us in danger".

　　Curtis Sliva, a former candidate for mayor of new york, told the crowd, "These immigrants cut in line. If I am an immigrant, you give me a chance to jump the queue, let me stay in a hotel, and then give me three hearty meals, more than the homeless or veterans in the United States have. This is wrong, and they will continue to come. " Sliva was arrested on the same day, which was the third time that he was handcuffed in a protest against immigration in less than two weeks.

　　The report said that there were more than 20 anti-protesters at the scene, and they broke out with the protesters. The two sides screamed loudly and punched each other. (Overseas Network/Li Fang)

January 15th, 1980

Nurses and paramedics came running with a gurney, lifted Charles Monet onto the gurney and pushed him into the intensive care unit of Nairobi Hospital. The announcement of calling the doctor sounded on the radio: there was a patient bleeding in ICU. A young doctor named Shem Musoke rushed to the scene. Dr. Musoke is recognized as the best physician in the hospital. He is energetic, enthusiastic and humorous. He often works for many hours in succession and has a good intuition about emergency treatment. He saw Monet lying on the gurney. He didn’t know what happened to the man, only that the patient was obviously bleeding heavily. There is no time to study the cause of bleeding. The patient has difficulty breathing-then stops: blood is inhaled into the lungs, causing respiratory arrest.

Dr Musoke felt his pulse: the heartbeat was weak and weak. The nurse ran to get a laryngoscope, which is a catheter that can be used to clear the patient’s trachea. Dr. Musoke tore off Monet’s shirt and observed the ups and downs of his chest. He stood at the top of the gurney, bent over Monet’s face and looked Monet’s eyes upside down.

Monet’s red eyes looked at Dr. Musoke, but his eyes were still and his pupils were dilated. Brain injury: loss of consciousness. His nose and mouth are covered with blood. Dr. Musoke lifted the patient’s head backward, opened the tracheal opening, and inserted the laryngoscope. He didn’t wear rubber gloves. He swept his finger around the patient’s tongue to clean up dead cells, mucus and blood. Slippery black blood clots stained his hands. The patient smelled of vomit and blood, but it was not unusual for Dr. Musoke, who concentrated on his work. He lowered his head, and his face was only a few inches away from Monet’s face. He looked into Monet’s mouth to locate the laryngoscope. The laryngoscope slid over Monet’s tongue. He pushed it open and looked at the trachea at the back of epiglottis. This black hole leads to the lungs. He inserted the laryngoscope into the hole and looked close to the eyepiece. Monet suddenly shook and lifted his body.

Monet vomited again.

Black vomit poured through the laryngoscope and gushed out of Monet’s mouth. Black and red liquid splashed into the air and fell on Dr. Musoke. The liquid got into his eyes and spilled on the white uniform and his chest, leaving several red mucus mixed with black patches. The liquid fell into his mouth.

The doctor straightened the patient’s head and cleaned the blood in his mouth with his fingers. Blood stained the doctor’s hands, wrists and forearms. Blood stains are everywhere: on the gurney, on the doctor’s body and on the ground. The nurses in the intensive care unit couldn’t believe their eyes. Dr Musoke looked down the trachea and inserted the laryngoscope deeper into the lungs. He saw bleeding in the trachea.

It seems that the patient went into shock due to blood loss. He lost so much blood that he began to dehydrate. Blood gushed out from every hole in the body. The blood left in the body is not enough to maintain circulation, so the heartbeat is so weak and the blood pressure is almost dropped to zero. He needs a blood transfusion.

The nurse brought a bag of whole blood. Dr Musoke hung the blood bag on the drip stand, picked up the needle and inserted it into the patient’s arm. There seems to be something wrong with the patient’s blood vessels; Blood poured out around the needle. Dr Musoke tried again, inserting the needle into another position of the patient’s arm and sticking it into the blood vessel. Failure. Still bleeding like a spring. No matter where he sticks the needle into the patient’s arm, the blood vessels will burst like cooked macaroni and blood will gush out; Blood emerges from the pinhole in the patient’s arm and cannot be coagulated. There is obviously something wrong with his blood. Dr. Musoke gave up the idea of blood transfusion because he was afraid that the patient would bleed to death because of the pinhole in his arm. The patient’s internal organs are still bleeding and black as asphalt.

Monet fell into a deeper coma and never regained consciousness. The next morning, he died in the intensive care unit. Dr. Musoke is always at the bedside.

Nobody knows what killed him. Cause of death is unknown. The doctor dissected the body and found that the kidney had been damaged, as had the liver. The liver is yellow and even liquefied in some places-just like the liver of a dead body; As if Monet had turned into a corpse before he died. Mucosal decay, that is, the shedding of intestinal wall tissue, is also common in Fang Chen’s corpse a few days later. What was the cause of death? I can’t say clearly, because there are too many possibilities. Everything in the patient’s body is not right, it is really "everything", and any one of them is fatal: blood clot, massive internal bleeding, liver turning into paste, intestines filled with blood. No words, classifications or even words can describe what happened to him. Doctors finally called it "explosive liver failure". His body was put into a waterproof bag-according to a client’s description, it was buried locally. Many years later, when I visited Nairobi, no one remembered where the grave was.

January 24th, 1980

The patient’s vomit splashed into Dr. Shem Musoke’s eyes and mouth. After nine days, his back gradually felt sore. He doesn’t know much about back pain-to be honest, he has never experienced severe back pain-but after all, he is nearly 30 years old and feels that he is approaching the age of low back injury. He has worked very hard in the past few weeks. First, he stayed with a patient with heart problems all night, and the next day he stayed with a bleeding patient from somewhere inland for nearly one night. So he didn’t sleep for several days. He didn’t take vomiting to heart, and the pain gradually spread all over his body, but he still didn’t think much. Then, when he looked in the mirror, he found his eyes turned red.

Eyeball turns red: he suspects that he is infected with malaria. At this time, he began to have a fever, so he must be infected with something. The back pain continues to spread, and the muscles all over the body ache badly. He took antimalarial drugs, but it was useless, so he asked the nurse to inject him with antimalarial drugs.

The nurse gave him an intramuscular injection in his arm. The pain of acupuncture is extremely severe. He has never felt such terrible pain because of a mere needle; This situation is abnormal and deserves attention. He began to wonder why an ordinary injection could bring that level of pain. Next, his abdomen began to ache. He suspected that he was infected with typhoid fever, so he took a course of antibiotics, but his condition did not ease. On the other hand, patients need him, so he is still busy in the hospital. The pain in the stomach and muscles became more and more unbearable, and he began to have jaundice.

The pain made him unable to treat himself, and his work had to be put down temporarily. He went to see Antonia Bagshaw, a physician in Nairobi Hospital. She finished the examination for him and confirmed fever, red eyes, jaundice and abdominal pain, but she couldn’t get a clear conclusion, only suspected that he had gallstones or liver abscess. Acute attack of gallstones or liver abscess can cause fever, jaundice and abdominal pain (but it can’t explain the redness of the eyeball). The doctor gave his liver an ultrasound examination. It can be seen from the imaging that the liver is a little swollen, but there is nothing unusual other than that. At this time, Musoke was seriously ill. The doctor put him in a private ward, and the nurses took turns to look after him 24 hours a day. His face became expressionless.

Acute attack of gallstones can be fatal. Dr. Bagshaw suggested an exploratory operation on Dr. Musoke. A team of surgeons led by Dr. imre loffler opened his body in the main operating room of Nairobi Hospital. The incision was located above the liver, and the doctor pulled open the abdominal muscles. The strange sight seen in Musoke was shocking, and no one could explain it: the liver was swollen and red, showing pathological symptoms, but the doctor could not find the symptoms of gallstones. On the other hand, he was bleeding. Surgery will definitely cut off blood vessels, and the cut blood vessels will bleed for a while and then coagulate; If the bleeding does not stop, the doctor will use a gelatin sponge to stop the bleeding. Musoke’s blood vessels kept bleeding: his blood couldn’t clot, as if he had hemophilia. The doctor put a gelatin sponge on his whole liver, but the blood continued to ooze. The doctor had to suck a lot of blood from the incision, but after cleaning it up, the blood would fill the incision again. Just like digging a hole under the waterline, the speed of water accumulation is as fast as drainage. A surgeon later told others that the surgical team was "soaked in blood". They cut a small piece from the liver for biopsy, soaked the tissue in a fixed solution, and sewed up the incision as quickly as possible.

After the operation, his condition deteriorated rapidly and his kidneys began to fail. He seems to be dying. His doctor Antonia Bagshaw happened to be going abroad, and a doctor named David Silverstein took over. Dr. Musoke may suffer from renal failure, and he can only live on dialysis, which gives the hospital an unusual color: colleagues love him very much and absolutely don’t want to lose this partner. Silverstein suspected that Dr. Musoke was infected with some rare virus. He collected blood samples from patients and extracted serum. Serum is a transparent golden yellow liquid, which can be obtained by removing red blood cells from blood. He submitted several test tubes of frozen serum to major laboratories for testing, including the National Institute of Virology in Sandringham, South Africa, and the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. He began to wait for the result.

Relief grain for 600 Jin of millet

At that time, Wan Buyan, who was still young.

I don’t understand that grandpa can put it into life

What exactly are ideals and beliefs?

But this 600-pound relief food is actually real.

Give him a man who can fill his stomach,

A childhood that can fully release one’s nature

Wan Buyan’s mischievousness is famous in the village.

Go down the river, climb trees and dig out bird’s nests.

His intelligence and practical ability are strong.

Is to let the adults cooing:

Homemade slingshots, small pistols

Even use the village scrapped.

Telephone and flashlight bulbs

Set up a small lighting grid.

I once went to the supply and marketing cooperative with my mother.

See the Xinhua Dictionary in the window.

He just lay on the ground and rolled around and insisted on buying it back.

This Xinhua Dictionary is like a fan.

The gateway to a new world

Let him fall in love with reading and astronomy.

Thinking about things that can fly to the sky all day.

In 1978, Wan Buyan, who just turned 14.

With excellent results

Entered the Geology Department of Central South Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

Prospecting engineering specialty

In 1985, Wan Buyan graduated from graduate school.

I heard Changsha Mining Research Institute.

To set up the first marine mining laboratory in China

And go to the bottom of the sea to mine

At the age of 21, he was the first to sign up.

that’s it

Wan Buyan who failed to "take the moon for nine days"

With the opportunity of "going to the five oceans to catch turtles"

And this is more than 30 years!

02

In 1992, Wan Buyan

Invited to Japan to carry out marine technology cooperation research.

Facing the situation of being far behind others.

Japanese personnel often mercilessly.

Expressing disapproval of Chinese

My heart is like an inflammation with a thorn.

Study hard with all one’s strength

A year later.

He was not only highly praised by the Japanese side.

But also received it.

A high-paying invitation of $2,500 a month

Faced with wages nearly 100 times higher than those in China.

Wan Buyan is very proud inside.

This proves the ability of China technicians.

Not worse than foreigners at all.

But his choice to return to China is even more firm:

The progress of science and technology, the strength of the country

It is inseparable from everyone’s efforts and struggles.

In 1998, 34-year-old Wan Buyan

Finally boarded the ocean research ship for the first time.

However, what I saw on the boat

It stung him deeply again — —

"All instruments and equipment,

Even a small steel pipe for this sample.

They are all imported. "

What makes him even more distressed is that

It costs hundreds of thousands of yuan for a scientific research ship to run at sea for one day.

Can work at sea for several months.

None of the samples were successfully obtained.

At that time, China has been from the International Seabed Authority.

Applied for an area in the Pacific Ocean.

If the information cannot be submitted within the time limit

You lose priority.

Facing the needs of the country and the unwillingness of others

Wan Buyan made up his mind:

We must develop our own in five years.

Deep sea drilling equipment

At that time, many experts thought that

China can take the "foreign road" step by step.

It’s already very good

Wan Buyan put forward:

If you want to do it, do the best!

In the face of foreign technology blockade

Wan Buyan bites his teeth.

Take the team to tackle technical problems one by one.

April 2003

Wan Buyan finally led the team to create

Chinese’s own.

Deep-sea shallow formation core sampling drilling rig

On the day of the sea trial, he personally operated the drilling rig.

Almost hold your breath.

Put the rig on the seabed bit by bit.

The process of tripping in lasted for half an hour.

Everyone stared nervously at the data in the control room.

Although only 0.7 meters.

But this isChinese’s own deep-sea drilling rig

The first hole in the Pacific Ocean!

At that moment, everyone hugged and cried and laughed.

Wan Buyan, who seldom drinks alcohol at ordinary times.

Drunk as a fiddle

For this moment

For the 0.7 meters drilled under the sea floor

He struggled for 18 years.

Start from scratch again and again

Return to zero and restart again and again

Finally at the bottom of the dark sea

Out of a

China road that no one has ever taken.

03

From the seabed surface to a depth of several hundred meters.

There is a kind of strategic significance in it.

Future energy — — combustible ice

however

The storage conditions of combustible ice are extremely harsh.

At that time, because there was no relevant technology.

China can only rent foreign drilling ships.

Not only is it expensive to go to sea

It also faces the distribution of combustible ice reserves in China’s high seas.

The huge risk first mastered by foreign countries

"The resources of our country,

But I don’t have my own technology to mine! "

In order to get rid of the dilemma as soon as possible

Wan Buyan made another bold decision:

If you want to do it, make it represent the wisdom of China.

Equipment that can really lead the world!

In order to explore a set of innovative paths

Wan Buyan is holding a malicious strength.

In the factory with team members

Control every detail to the extreme

Test over and over again

For six years.

He led the team to try hundreds of methods.

26 materials have been tested.

Five iterative upgrades have been made.

Finally created one for the deep sea of China.

An unparalleled "underwater beast" — —

7.6 meters high, 10 meters around the waist and weighing 12 tons

"Manatee II"

March 2021

Wan Buyan took his "Manatee II"

Send a gauntlet to the 2000-meter deep sea

As long as this manatee can show its great power at the bottom of the sea.

Deep-sea exploration in China can really be technically

Leading the world and overtaking in corners

However, just as the test went smoothly.

Suddenly there was a loud noise at sea — —

The reducer of marine winch was seriously damaged.

At this point, "Manatee II"

Suspended in the deep sea of nearly 1000 meters

Can’t put it away, can’t put it down.

Seeing that 48 hours later,

A strong typhoon is about to pass

If the winch can’t be repaired in time

You have to cut the cable.

Had to spend years researching and developing,

The manatee II, worth tens of millions of yuan, was buried at the bottom of the sea.

Watch the time pass by.

Everyone tried every means to declare failure.

There is only silence on the whole scientific research ship.

At this time, the distance from the typhoon arrived.

There are less than 30 hours left.

When everyone is ready to give up.

Wan Buyan walked out of the room with a drawn drawing.

Say to everyone:

We can temporarily build a hydraulic system.

Wan Bu Yan stood on the deck.

Facing the strong wind, personally direct the operation.

Finally, from the arrival of the typhoon

In less than two hours.

The manatee beast was finally successfully recovered.

April 7, 2021

Wan Buyan took "Manatee II"

Challenge the 2000-meter deep sea again.

With everyone watching.

"Manatee II" slowly entered the sea and did not enter the deep blue.

Two and a half hours later

It reached the bottom of the sea at a depth of 2060 meters.

"1m, 60m, 100m … …”

Wan Buyan concentrated on controlling the drilling rig.

Drill down deeply

For more than 20 hours

Wan Buyan, 57, hardly slept a wink.

When the depth of the drill bit reaches 228m and 229m … …

When it finally stays at 231 meters.

Wan Buyan couldn’t help blushing.

From 0.7 meters to 231 meters

From pushing open a crack in the deep sea

To open the deep sea door

From looking back to achieving technological transcendence

This 231 meters, Wan Buyan walked for more than 20 years.

It is also at this moment.

He finally pulled it out

Technological backwardness is a thorn deeply rooted in my heart for many years.

Others did it.

We can do it, too

What others haven’t done yet

We may do it before others!

04

All kinds of inflammation in life

Is a very romantic person.

Play a song "The Moon Represents My Heart"

Violin

It was his deepest confession to his wife.

Singing is his lifelong hobby.

Not only is karaoke installed at home.

Even the theory of music has been studied clearly by him.

When not busy

Take a walk and play table tennis with your wife.

Look at the stars in front of the telescope

It is the moment when he enjoys life the most.

Even with students.

In the days of offshore exploration

He often takes everyone with him.

Look up at the stars together

Immersed in the stars all over the sky together

And the depth of the sea

Whenever this time

He always can’t help but sigh:

One’s whole life

In fact, it is the moment when the stars blink.

Our eyes are on the sea of stars.

But every step we take

Be sure to keep your feet on the ground

Wan Buyan, who is 59 years old this year.

Although it is already gray at the temples.

The light in the eyes is brighter and firmer.

"Towards a deep blue ocean dream.

Is my Chinese dream.

The more difficult it is,

The more excited I am, the more I want to challenge it.

Every successful research and development has made me feel particularly fulfilled.

That kind of happiness and joy

Just like when I was a kid "

Speaking of dreams

Wan Buyan seems to have changed back to that.

Holding a copy of Xinhua Dictionary.

With dreams and curiosity

A teenager who longs for heaven and sea.

Yes, when you choose to go forward.

Dreams will eventually take you far away.

Love will definitely light up the future!

As Wan Buyan often says:

"Down-to-earth, look up at the stars!"

We in Chinese are capable and wise.

Can be a treasure house of knowledge for all mankind

Contribute our share of China’s strength!

At nine o’clock tonight

Pay attention together
