165 major projects! Look at China from here.

In December 2014, the Chengdu-Ya'an section started construction and was officially put into operation four years later. In November this year, the construction of the section from Ya'an to Nyingchi started, and a "heavenly road" to promote the economic and social development of Tibet and the unity of the Chinese nation is just around the corner!

However, we will have more opportunities to approach it in the future, because it is about to be "surrounded" by railways ". In 2018, the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway was started. After opening to traffic, the Heluo Railway will be connected with the Kashgar-Hotan Railway and the Golmud-Korla Railway to form a railway network around the Tarim Basin. This will be the world's first desert railway loop.

Are these two projects difficult!

But you thought it was over? No!

When we look at the whole of China, a total of 165 major projects such as the Sichuan-Tibet Railway and the Heluo Railway are under construction on an area of more than 960 million square kilometers. Their full landing effect occurred in the "13th Five-Year Plan" period (2016-2020) 5 years.

From 156 project to 165 project, from being aided to independent construction

The "five-year plan (plan)" means to plan the future economic and social development trend with a five-year cycle.

For the Chinese, the "Five-Year Plan (Plan)" is a road monument to measure national progress and a carrier to record national dreams. From 1953 to 2020, from the "First Five-Year Plan" to the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", five years have created historical signs of different periods.

But did you know that there are only two major projects in the Five-Year Plan (Plan) named in numbers, namely, 156 items in the First Five-Year Plan and 165 items in the 13th Five-Year Plan? What is the significance behind this?

The answer is: the nose.

The "First Five-Year Plan" was launched. At that time, China was poor and white, and everything was waiting for prosperity. In 1957, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was completed and opened to traffic, and the "First Bridge of the Yangtze River" was born.

On May 4, 1957, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge Steel Beam Closure Celebration Conference was held at the bridge head (issued by Xinhua News Agency)

Since then, "a bridge flies north and south, and the sky becomes a thoroughfare." The Chinese dream of building a bridge on the Yangtze River for thousands of years has been realized. Many of us may not know that this huge project was built with the support of the Soviet Union.

The river is silent and witnesses historical changes.

61 years later, in southern China, a "super project" across the Lingdingyang sea area has attracted worldwide attention. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the world's longest sea-crossing bridge with a total length of 55 kilometers, was completed and opened to traffic.

From the "First Five-Year Plan" to the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", from relying on aid construction to independent construction, from "zero" breakthroughs to the top of the world. These major projects have set up milestones in China's modernization process.

02 From concentrated in heavy industry to spread across many fields

The 156 projects of the "First Five-Year Plan" are concentrated in the field of heavy industry, involving steel, metallurgy, coal mines, petroleum refining, heavy machinery, automobiles, chemicals, and electric power.

By the late 1950 s, these major projects had laid the foundation for the industrialization of New China and changed the picture of poor heavy industry products at the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China.

One of the "156 projects", the first phase of Angang Dashiqiao Magnesium Brick Factory was put into production in 1957. It is from the raw material mining to the product is made of mechanized automation operation, is the first-class high-grade refractory factory. Xinhua News Agency

The 165 projects of the "13th Five-Year Plan" cover the primary, secondary and tertiary industries and have changed all aspects of our lives. The land where we live is being connected by steel bars and bones.

(1) The railway

More than a hundred years ago, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway broke the assertion that the Chinese could not build their own railways. In 2019, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway will be opened. As China's first intelligent high-speed railway, it will connect Beijing and Zhangjiakou, the two major host places of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, and drive the development along the line.

Looking at China, with "eight vertical and eight horizontal" as the framework, the world's largest high-speed railway network is taking shape, with an operating mileage of about 3.80000 kilometers, exceeding the target of the 13th five-year Plan.

(2) Energy

Not only are high-speed trains shuttling between green mountains and green waters, but a number of major energy projects have also sprung up on the magnificent mountains and rivers.

At the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan, a major project to implement "power transmission from west to east" is the Wudongde Hydropower Station, the seventh largest hydropower station in the world and the fourth largest hydropower station in China. After nearly five years of construction, the first batch of units will be officially put into operation in June 2020, and the hydropower station will achieve the goal of putting all units into operation in 2021.

The green electricity produced by Wudongde Hydropower Station is expected to replace the consumption of standard coal by 12.2 million tons per year, reducing the emissions of carbon dioxide by 30.5 million tons and sulfur dioxide by 104000 tons, which is equivalent to planting 85000 hectares of broad-leaved forest.

(3) Investment and manufacturing

More than 60 years ago, the 156 projects of the "First Five-Year Plan" basically relied on state investment. Today, the 165 projects of the "13th Five-Year Plan" have fully mobilized the strength of the whole society. For many projects, the central and local governments do not pay much, the society contributes a lot, and the participation is wide. Some projects are mainly undertaken by enterprises.

BOE Hefei's 10.5 generation TFT-LCD production line is the world's first highest generation line. According to Omdia, a market research organization, the global market share of 65-inch and 75-inch LCD screens produced by Hefei BOE in 2019 has reached more than 30%, ranking first in the world.

In other words, for every three large-size displays sold in the world, one is produced by BOE Hefei 10.5 generation line.

Like BOE production lines, the benefits of the "13th Five-Year Plan" 165 projects are comprehensive. Their establishment is not to solve a single problem, but to value the traction and driving effects of these projects.

165 project is not only the project itself, but also an investment of tens of trillions of yuan, which is of immeasurable significance to investment, employment, industrial development, and technological breakthroughs in upstream and downstream.

03 "old irons" please praise this report card!

The old high-tech field is also frequently refreshing our cognition.

On December 17, 2020, Chang'e -5 ended its "digging" work and returned to its hometown with the moon's "native products.

Nine days to capture the moon to explore the landing, 16 spring and autumn around the fall back.

"Chang'e -5" is the final battle of China's lunar exploration project, and it is one of the most complex and difficult tasks in China's aerospace field so far.

However, every "first time" created by her stems from the successive efforts of the "sisters:

Up to now, "Yutu II" is still working, constantly sending information about the back of the moon to the earth. From "running to the moon" to "taking the moon", Chang'e explored the moon with "five battles and five victories", without exceeding the budget, lowering the target, and not delaying the time, and handing over bright answers.

In the future, Chang'e will explore the moon on the 6th, 7th, and 8th. u2026u2026 believe that we will not be too far away from manned landing on the moon.

This is a list of major scientific and technological breakthroughs of "first time", "first" and "leading" significance in the past month:

From the highest mountain to the deepest ocean, from the reddest star to the most beautiful month, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, my country's scientific and technological innovation and development have already crossed the mountains, rivers and seas, and the stars of the universe. The blowout makes people unconsciously laugh at themselves: "The speed of praise can't keep up with the pace of breakthrough!"

On top of the list, a pearl on the tip of the pyramid of technological innovation shines. In addition to the list, they are full of cutting-edge scientific and technological exploration, strategic pilot projects and major scientific and technological engineering u2026u2026, which are the solid innovation bases for the pyramid, and will also hold up the "stars of tomorrow" that will be brighter in the future ".

04 Some projects are "small"

In fact, major projects are not only large-scale projects such as going up from heaven to earth, going through mountains and going down to the sea, but also many "small" projects that you and I are not easy to detect.

In order to fill the stomachs of the "dry rice kings", the country has built about 80 million mu of high-standard farmland every year in recent years. They are all fields. Why is it called "high standard"? Where is the "high" standard?

Look at a set of data:

The grain production capacity of high-standard farmland increased by an average of 10-20 per cent, the average grain yield per mu increased by about 100kg, and 85.5 per cent of the sampled project areas had a higher level of stability of grain production capacity in years of severe meteorological disasters than non-project areas.

With such farmland, not only are we "dry rice kings" blessed, but the farmers also laugh. The comprehensive income per mu can increase by about 500 yuan.

I wonder if any careful readers have noticed that there is a white box at the top right of the farmland and a pink "L" shaped house in the middle of the farmland. Guess what this is?

The answer is: the upper right box is a meteorological observation station, which can monitor atmospheric temperature, soil moisture and wind speed in real time. The middle pink "L"-shaped house is a management room with shovels, brooms, fire extinguishers, computers, LED screens, etc.

At the same time, we may as well pay more attention to the development of our hometown. Over the years, have you found:

The dirt roads in my hometown village have all turned into cement roads;

The road to visit relatives and friends is no longer muddy after a snowy day;

One to the summer smell of the dry toilet more and more rare;

A basketball court was built on the abandoned wheat field, and the village aunts and aunts began to compete with the boys for the "square dance" territory......

Let us remember these major projects

Because they

changed this country

Benefit the 1.4 billion people

Connecting the past with the present, the present with the future

Over the years

How has your neighborhood or village changed?
