China Daily Online, June 13th (Zhu Yuehong) The rapid development of science and technology in China has amazed the world again and again. Did you, get there? In this issue of "Those Things in China", let’s take a look at how the Long March 11th carrier rocket, 5G technology and the prototype of the high-speed maglev train with a top speed of 600 kilometers per hour interpret the most dazzling technology wind in China, which makes many foreign netizens envy!
Explosion! The Long March 11th "One Arrow and Seven Stars" was successfully launched at sea for the first time.
On June 5th, the Long March 11th successfully launched "one arrow and seven stars" on the offshore platform, which was the first space launch in China, filled the gap in the launch of China’s launch vehicle at sea and provided a new launch mode for China to quickly enter space. International public opinion is highly concerned about this.
Reuters reported on June 5 that just after noon that day, the Long March 11 sea-launched solid launch vehicle ignited and lifted off from a large semi-submersible barge in the Yellow Sea. This small rocket is designed for rapid deployment and can be launched from mobile launch sites such as ships. This rocket carries seven satellites, two of which can accurately measure the information of sea surface wind field, thus forecasting typhoons.
According to the report, in recent years, China has made its space program a top priority, is striving to catch up with the United States and is committed to becoming a space power by 2030. China plans to start building its own manned space station next year.
The Asia Times reported on June 6 that some experts pointed out that the advantage of this sea launch is that it can make the launch site closer to the equator, because the launch of the same rocket in the equatorial region can improve the carrying capacity by nearly 20% compared with the launch in high latitudes. For example, China chooses to launch a rocket in the South China Sea near the equator, which can reduce the fuel required by the rocket and thus reduce the launch cost. Another advantage of launching rockets at sea is that it can reduce the harm caused by rocket debris falling on the ground.
The report also mentioned that the successful launch of the Long March 11th at sea is another example of China’s strength in aerospace and maritime technology.
According to a report in the Guardian, China is the third country to master the technology of launching at sea after the United States and Russia.
Foreign netizens are also amazed at China’s scientific and technological achievements.
Heavy! The 5G commercial license was officially issued, and China officially entered the 5G era
The 5G commercial license is coming! On June 6th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China officially announced the issuance of 5G commercial licenses, and China officially entered the 5G era!
Reuters reported the exciting news for the first time. According to the report, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology officially issued 5G commercial licenses to China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Radio and Television, marking a significant progress in China’s 5G commercial construction.
According to CNBC, the 5G network standard is regarded as crucial because it can not only support new applications such as driverless cars, but also support the next generation of mobile devices.
5G is not only widely used, but also covers a large area in China, which is also envied by foreign netizens.
On the YouTube platform, the video "Remote Ethnic Group Rises Above Poverty in Yunnan, China" released by New China TV on May 28th received rave reviews. Many netizens marveled that such a remote village actually had 5G, expressing their envy.
"One flower alone is not spring", and China is willing to share the latest achievements of 5G with the world. In the statement of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, a lot of space was used to show China’s open mind: in the research and promotion of 5G, China has always adhered to the concept of openness, tolerance, cooperation and win-win. In the technical trial stage, many foreign companies such as Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm and Intel have been deeply involved, and with the joint efforts of all parties, China’s 5G has a commercial foundation. In the future, China will, as always, welcome foreign enterprises to actively participate in China’s 5G network construction and application promotion, continue to deepen cooperation, seek common development and innovation of 5G, and share the achievements of 5G development in China.
On June 9th, New China TV released the video of "China ushers in a new era of 5G technology". As mentioned in the video, China welcomes enterprises at home and abroad to participate in 5G construction and share the achievements of 5G development.
After learning this news, foreign netizens praised China’s achievements in the field of 5G.
When it comes to 5G, you have to mention Huawei.
Not long ago, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) used Huawei equipment to complete the world’s first live broadcast of 5G network TV, and its network effect amazed British audiences.
Before the live broadcast, BBC reporter Rory Salem-Jones excitedly shared the behind-the-scenes tidbits of the live broadcast on his personal social media account. He pointed the camera at Huawei’s equipment and said, "This is it, which can support our first 5G live TV broadcast in the UK!"
Shocking! China launched the prototype of high-speed maglev train with a speed of 600 kilometers per hour.
On May 23rd, the body prototype of China’s latest high-speed maglev train project rolled off the assembly line in Qingdao. This marks a major breakthrough in the field of high-speed maglev technology in China.
On June 8th, YouTube blogger Richard Aguilar published a post entitled "China Innovation! China’s new technological inventions and progress. In the video, he said excitedly that China has always shown us its latest inventions and technological innovations, and this year is no exception. China has also announced new technological innovations, such as the prototype of a high-speed maglev train with a top speed of 600 kilometers per hour. Foreign netizens were very excited after seeing it:
Foreign media have also reported on this.
The National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) reported that with the maglev train, in some cases, ground travel may be faster than air travel.
Australian News Network believes that China engineers will make new breakthroughs. It is reported that the super-high-speed train developed by engineers in China can reach 600 kilometers per hour at present, and it may be faster than an airplane one day.
Sputnik news agency & radio’s report affirmed China’s efforts in maglev train. According to the report, to a large extent, maglev train is still a future technology. However, as early as 2002, China and Shanghai had already launched the world’s first high-speed maglev railway commercial operation line, using German technology, with a speed of 430 kilometers per hour.
CNN also lost no time in reporting this news.
The continuous emergence of scientific and technological achievements in China has made the world sit up and take notice. What surprises will China science and technology bring to the world in the future? Let’s wait and see!
