Whether we can fully build a modern socialist power on schedule depends on the independence and self-reliance of science and technology. The investment intensity of research and development funds in the whole society has increased from 2.1% to over 2.5%, and the contribution rate of scientific and technological progress has increased to over 60%. The data mentioned in this year's government work report reflect the latest achievements in China's in-depth implementation of the innovation driven development strategy in the new era and accelerating the realization of high-level technological self-reliance and self-reliance. It is self-evident that the importance of innovation is to grasp the general trend and play a good "first hand game". In 2023, the two sessions of the National People's Congress ended, and the curtain of innovation on the new journey began. In the laboratory, at the launch site, and in universities, taking advantage of the powerful east wind of the National Two Sessions, the pace of achieving high-level technology self-reliance and self-reliance is even faster. On the evening of March 15, the Long March 11 carrier rocket ignited and lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, successfully putting the Test 19 satellite into its intended orbit. This is the first launch of the Long March 11 carrier rocket in 2023 and the 16th launch since its first flight, achieving 16 consecutive victories. In the rocket assembly plant of the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, the Long March 11 launch vehicle development base, aerospace scientists and technicians are systematically testing and assembling the Long March series of launch vehicles. As mentioned in the government work report, in the past five years, China has witnessed a continuous emergence of innovative achievements in fields such as manned spaceflight, lunar exploration and fire detection, deep-sea and deep ground exploration, supercomputers, satellite navigation, quantum information, nuclear power technology, large aircraft manufacturing, and artificial intelligence. "It is incumbent upon science and technology workers in the new era to adhere to facing the forefront of world science and technology, facing the main battlefield of the economy, facing the major needs of the country, and facing the lives and health of the people, to accelerate the realization of high-level science and technology self-reliance." Wang Xiaojun, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, said that this year, China's Long March series of launch vehicles are expected to arrange more than 60 space launch missions, The total number of launches is expected to reach "500" in the fourth quarter.
