Hello everyone! I’m Bump Man, the vehicle inspection technician. I am a maintenance technician with many years of experience. Now I am a used car inspector, in charge of car inspection. I am an idiot who specializes in eliminating car monsters with accident problems. Welcome to this interesting used car inspection.

Model (||) is the eighth generation Honda Accord and the third generation domestic Accord. At that time, it coincided with the establishment of Guangqi Honda factory for ten years. This Accord is also called "the strongest Accord in history" because it is equipped with three engines with Honda VTEC technology, each of which is very powerful. The entry-level 2.0-liter naturally aspirated version is very fuel efficient. The 2.4-liter version has the highest power matching; The 3.5-liter version has the most linear and natural power and full thrust. Until now, many people are still looking for the 3.5L eighth generation Accord.

Nowadays, fans also like this Accord very much. At that time, the car still had to be sold at a high price. In 2008, it could be 200,000 yuan, which was not a small sum at that time. Therefore, fans have been paying attention to the used car of Bayaccord and want to feel it for themselves, but he also knows that it is a car in 2008 after all, and it has been more than ten years since today.

With our help, this car fan has seen a lot of cars before, either in poor condition or low value, so he has always hoped to find an Accord with a single owner, so that the car condition is more reliable. During this time, he found today’s protagonist and posted it online by himself. The owner said there were too many cars at home, so he had no choice but to sell his old car. The fans decisively contacted the time and place and arranged for us to go to the scene to watch.

The Honda Accord that came to test drive this time, after more than ten years of baptism, the appearance of the whole vehicle has been covered with mottled traces. This is also because its own white paint surface can’t avoid the erosion of time, and it is covered with a lot of dust. The owner said that he hadn’t driven for a while and there were too many cars at home. Now this car rarely drives, so I consider selling it. In fact, after so many years of driving, there is no big problem. It’s not true that there is no place to put your car. And I know this skill clearly, just look at it!

Model: 2008 Accord 2.4L Automatic Standard Edition

Date of production: January 2008

Apparent mileage: 13W km

Guide price of new car: 229,800 yuan

Seller’s quotation: 68000

Generally, the more the seller or the former owner criticizes the car condition, the more our car inspector feels like a cat scratching, especially this emotional car, so the concave man really needs to carefully check whether the car condition is the same as the owner said.

Before it’s too late, we started the inspection today and checked the front bumper. After investigation, the front bumper of the car has obvious paint flying marks, and there is a big gap in the installation position. It should be replaced later, which is a bad start.

Check the front cover and find obvious sheet metal marks, so high and so forward. No wonder the front bumper was damaged and the front of the car crashed.

When measuring the left front fender, it was found that the paint value was obviously low, which was caused by the paint after the later replacement. On the premise of saving materials by replacing new fenders in the later stage, the paint is easy to sag if it is too thick. Once this happens, polishing is time-consuming, so painters try to spray as thin as possible. After all, manual work cannot be as accurate as mechanical nozzles.

Check the front windshield for obvious signs of replacement. It seems that the accident in front also caused damage to the windshield.

A part of the left A-pillar was inspected, and it was found that there were also traces of painting, and the scraping dust in this place was thick. Although it has not reached the level of sheet metal, it also shows that this position has a light shape.

The left front door is close to the fender, and there is also obvious sheet metal painting. No trace of sheet metal was found in other parts of the left side, but the left back door was painted, so I won’t list them one by one because of limited space.

There were also paintings on the back cover, but no traces of metal sheets were found.

There are also obvious paint marks on the rear bumper, and no abnormalities are found in other parts of the rear.

There are traces of metal sheets on the right rear fender, which should be caused by scratches, because no metal sheets were found in the tail inspection.

The starting point of sheet metal parts is the lower right beam, so it is caused by friction. The friction in this place depends on whether there is deformation inside the beam.

Fortunately, the interior has withstood the test without any signs of deformation.

When tested in other places on the right, there was no sheet metal phenomenon, but there were basically traces of painting, but the A-pillar part was still normal.

The screws on both sides of the fender were obviously removed.

And there are obvious metal traces on the right front fender. Generally speaking, there is still a lot of paint and sheet metal in the whole vehicle.

But after all, this is a classic car with hundreds of thousands of kilometers. I hope the upcoming test will bring us some good news. Even in such a big sun, Bump Man has no feeling at all. Let’s continue the test with great expectation.

Then we check the engine compartment of the vehicle. This engine is equipped with a 2.4L i-VTEC engine, with a maximum power of 132K.w, a maximum torque of 225N.m and a maximum horsepower of 180Ps. Matching it is the 5AT gearbox, which is a golden combination in terms of power and durability. Even after so many years, the engine compartment still looks clean and there is no leakage of wet oil.

There are many leaves on the crown of the tree, indicating that the vehicle has stopped for a long time, and it seems that it is really waiting for someone.

Check the screws of the machine cover, and find that there are obvious disassembly marks, and there are metal sheets on the front cover. Disassembly and adjustment can be considered as normal operation. Whether the specific collision is serious or not, we will continue to verify.

However, it is not easy to find the vehicle during the inspection. Initially, when inspecting the right front longitudinal beam, it was found that there were obvious weld repair marks on the longitudinal beam. It seems that the accident in front is not small, which leads to the repair of the front bumper, front fender and longitudinal beam.

Knock on the blackboard, the point is coming! Because many radiator frames of Japanese cars are welded on the car body, the longitudinal beams of this car are welded and repaired, and the radiator frame is inevitably repaired. The frame you can see here is also obviously deformed.

At the left front longitudinal beam, there are also obvious traces of post-repair. The whole longitudinal beam is very uneven.

And the side beam of the front fender also has obvious repair marks.

Looking at the frame of the right water tank from below, there are also obvious maintenance marks.

The water tank frame on the left side also has obvious maintenance marks, and the front anti-collision beam also has obvious disassembly marks, and the wiring harness buckle is not installed.

The outside temperature sensor has not been reinstalled. This is the result of the mechanic’s carelessness, and the front bumper spray water is also sprayed on the bellows of the internal wiring harness. These are more casual paintings, non-stop.

After the inspection here, it can be concluded that the accident of the vehicle is likely to be the replacement of the whole front face, including the deformation of the fender longitudinal beam and the deformation of the side beam, and the water tank and condenser are definitely not guaranteed.

Seeing that the repair marks of the longitudinal beam are so serious, the two front shock absorbers of the vehicle are still in the normal range. It seems that the vehicle didn’t hit here, but the repair of the longitudinal beam has been a proper major accident vehicle. The fans are having tea with the seller now, so I can’t go in and disturb them directly. I’ll tell him when it’s time to check the chassis.

Engine compartment inspection shows that the brake oil has deteriorated seriously and needs to be replaced in time.

There is also the deterioration of the engine oil, but the internal carbon deposit is still relatively small, so it is good to replace the engine oil.

When checking the oil, it was also found that there was a slight oil leakage in the valve cover. After so many years, it is estimated that the seal is also aging.

The battery also needs to be replaced because the car has been parked for a long time, which is inevitable. Other parts of the engine compartment are still normal, so I won’t list them here.

Then we checked the inside. The development and design of the eighth generation Accord is "advanced-strong", which means the perfect integration of "forward-looking technology and radical power". According to this concept, Honda Technology Reseah has gathered the latest technologies and developed a brand-new technology platform, which embodies the perfect interpretation of Honda’s global DNA in many aspects such as design, safety, dynamic performance, handling and environmental protection.

Look at the seat part first, there is no sign of disassembly of the seat.

There is no obvious corrosion on the lower part of the seat. I can tell you here that vehicles that have not been flooded normally, especially Japanese cars, have not seen any traces of corrosion for more than ten years, and many fans have reacted. Seeing a little corrosion on the car, the car always argues that it is caused by empty air and water.

This statement is very untenable. Concave man has seen many cars. Although each manufacturer is different, some other brands will have corrosion, but after watching so many Japanese cars, corrosion will basically not happen. So it’s best to have a bottom in your heart when you read it, and don’t be cheated.

Similarly, no obvious corrosion was found in the steering column.

The fuse box in the car is also relatively clean, and no rust and sediment are found.

The cigarette lighter part is also normal, basically excluding the existence of blisters in the vehicle.

However, the vehicle seat is seriously worn, but after all, it is more than 100,000 kilometers. After more than ten years, these are still within the normal range.

As I said before, there was an accident in front, so serious that the airbag must be replaced. Here, the airbag was found disassembled.

Another small problem is that the rear air outlet has been damaged and cannot be adjusted normally.

Then we started the vehicle and found that there was no fault light on the vehicle. The mileage shown on the vehicle meter is 135,266 kilometers. According to the wear and tear of the interior, it should be the actual mileage of the vehicle.

After starting, we tested the functions and found that all the functions of the vehicle can still be used normally. Sure enough, the durability of Japanese cars is still relatively high.

The fly in the ointment is that a desk lamp is broken, so it will be fine to change a light bulb in the future.

The cooling effect of empty space is still surplus. According to some car dealers, empty space can freeze watermelons. However, when the compressor works, the vehicle has obvious jitter. Later, it is necessary to check whether the throttle blockage leads to insufficient air intake or compressor failure leads to jitter.

Seeing this, the next step should be the road test, which is on the shelves. Fans also heard the sound of the car starting and came to ask me how the car was. I didn’t expect the seller to follow, so I told him about the car and the previous maintenance. He was also surprised to hear this. He said that the seller didn’t explain the situation at all, and he said that he would definitely not come.

The seller also said that there were many cars at home, otherwise they wouldn’t have sold them. Besides, I also saw the car being left here for so long. I thought it was really him. It seems that he doesn’t want to drive by himself because of the accident. In this case, I won’t look at the latter part. It seems that I have no fate with it. So you can leave first, I’ll go in and talk to him, and then I’ll think about it.

It’s time to sum up the vehicles today. The automatic standard version of Honda 2008 Accord 2.4L EX tested by the seller today quoted 68,000 yuan, which was significantly higher than the market price. At present, the transaction price of this car in the online market is around 53,000, but because it is Japanese, the quotations in many places are relatively high, specifically in the early 60,000 s. But today, the price of the vehicle is 68,000 yuan. Obviously, I’m sorry about this car condition. The accident in front was so serious that the seller thought he put it online.

Later, fans also said that they finally found a car and thought it would be more reliable than the car dealer. That man wanted to meet this kind of situation. Fortunately, he brought someone to test it today, otherwise he would really do it. Concave man also reminds everyone here that if you buy a popular style that has been popular for a long time this year and also has the attribute of "feelings", you should read it carefully, otherwise you will lose a lot in the future.

On the one hand, the vehicle is older and it is more difficult to sell it later. On the other hand, if the vehicle is in poor condition, the cost of going back for maintenance is also higher, and the cost of maintaining the vehicle is also higher. Just like today’s Accord, although the engine part seems to have little problem, even a 200,000-kilometer Japanese car will not have serious engine problems. The key point is that this vehicle accident is relatively large, and the safety of buying it later cannot be guaranteed.

Ok, that’s the end of today’s test sharing. I am a second-hand test technician in vehicle inspection. If you have a favorite car, but are not sure about its condition or other problems related to used cars, you can pay attention to us. Car inspector is willing to be your friend who knows cars best!

Like it, like it, and spray it if you don’t like it. I repair cars more, study less, and write badly, so please bear with it. If you are as optimistic about used cars as we are, or if you want to be an expert, don’t forget to collect and forward them!

New car 3.8 million, lost a (||) ten thousand kilometers. Buyer: What a bargain.

At that time, the new car was 2.6 million, and it lost 2 million after driving 30 thousand kilometers. Is it worth 600 thousand to buy this car?

It landed nearly a million years ago, and now it only costs 40 thousand. Can you afford this (||)?

Why did A3.3 million A 5L run for 2,000 kilometers and sell it?

　　Looking for dark matter, machines are better than human eyes. A recent paper published in Computational Astrophysics and Cosmology shows that the deep learning AI framework jointly developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (hereinafter referred to as Berkeley Laboratory) can explore the signs of dark matter in the universe.

　　In recent years, artificial intelligence has been increasingly applied to astronomical research. Deep learning requires massive amounts of data, and astronomy is the field where AI shows its talents. Machines can find a needle for human beings from the vast ocean and capture new stars, new extraterrestrial planets and even dark matter.

　　Recognizing the "gravitational lens", AI has made contributions.

　　Finding "gravitational lens" is the basic method to study the distribution of dark matter. An object with a huge mass will distort the passing light like a lens, and if we find out this distortion, we can capture the non-luminous mass.

　　The paper shows that CosmoGAN, a deep learning AI framework established by Berkeley Lab, can analyze the relationship between gravitational lens and dark matter. It can create high fidelity and weak gravitational lens convergence diagram.

　　Once upon a time, it was troublesome to find the simulation and data processing needed for the "gravitational lens". Twenty scientists spent months looking at only a small space image. Physical simulation takes billions of computing hours and takes up megabytes of disk space.

　　The progress of neural network provides opportunities. The team led by Berkeley Lab introduced a "generative confrontation network (GANs)". Researcher Mustafa said: "There are other deep learning methods that can get convergence graphs from many images, but compared with competitive methods, GANs generates very high-resolution images while still having the high efficiency of neural networks."

　　Now, astronomers can use CosmoGAN to analyze a much larger sky area, and the speed is faster.

　　CosmoGAN is not the only astronomical deep learning neural network that has made progress. For example, the University of Toronto used deep learning technology to analyze satellite images of lunar craters, and the neural network of P8 supercomputer discovered 6,000 new craters in just a few hours, twice the number of craters discovered by humans in the past decades. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign uses deep learning to detect and analyze gravitational waves of black hole collisions. AI blooms everywhere in astronomy.

　　There is too much data to play without a machine.

　　In the past few years, most directions in the field of astronomy have tried to use artificial intelligence. Considering the amount of data that astronomy has to deal with, this is a natural idea. Let the machine practice to analyze clues, otherwise, astronomy in the future will not work.

　　The 2019 GPU Technology Conference held not long ago attracted artificial intelligence scholars all over the world. Brent Robertson, an astronomer from the University of California, Santa Cruz, was invited to give a speech at the conference. He pointed out: "Astronomy is at the cusp of a new data revolution". Robertson believes that the new generation of astronomical instruments must cooperate with the new generation of software driven by deep learning.

　　For example, the large-caliber all-day patrol telescope (LSST) is expected to run in three years. It toured 37 billion galaxies in the southern half of the universe, generating a ten-year uninterrupted video. LSST is equipped with a 3.2 billion pixel camera, which generates 25TB of data every night, which is equivalent to all the data contributed by the advanced astronomical telescope in a lifetime.

　　Another example is the Square Kilometer Array Radio Telescope (SKA). It is spread all over the world, some antennas are deployed in eight countries in southern Africa, and more than one million antennas are located in Australia and New Zealand. Its raw data reaches 5000 PB every day, and there are about 50 PB after processing.

　　"Dark Energy Survey" compiles star maps of hundreds of millions of galaxies; "Gaia" satellite surveying and mapping stars with galactic coefficient of one billion; The "Zwicky" project can scan 3,750 square degrees of sky every hour. In China, the daily data volume of FAST will reach 150TB；; Guo Shoujing telescope has observed 9.01 million spectra, which is the largest celestial spectrum library in the world … …

　　Capture patterns that humans can’t see.

　　There are more and more data, and scientists try to aggregate them. However, at the GPU conference, Robertson said that in the future, several large astronomical telescopes will produce a large amount of data together, which is too complicated for human beings to directly use after aggregation. Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, tried to solve this problem. Morpheus deep learning framework created by a doctoral student in computer science department can classify celestial bodies pixel by pixel based on the original data of telescope.

　　Scientists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, also use AI to better study the formation of galaxies. In a study published in early 2019, scientists trained computers with computer-simulated galaxies to learn three key stages of galaxy evolution. Later, computer analysis of galaxy images from the Hubble Space Telescope performed surprisingly well.

　　Artificial intelligence is applied to face recognition. After training with massive data, you can recognize this person’s makeup and old age according to a photo. And many images in the universe can be classified in the same way.

　　"Deep learning can look for patterns, and machines can see very complicated patterns that humans can’t see." David Ku, a scientist involved in the research, said, "We hope to further test this method. In the proof-of-concept study, the machine seems to have successfully found the different stages of galaxy evolution determined in the simulation in the data. "

　　Help astronomers find another solar system

　　A report at the end of 2018 showed that Google artificial intelligence made efforts to find new planets from Kepler’s exoplanet observation database. Planets are hard to find. Kepler satellite in space observes 145,000 sun-like stars, and finds planets from the faint changes of star brightness. The data recorded for four years includes about 35,000 suspected planetary records. Astronomers use machines combined with human eyes to identify, but the darkest and weakest signals are often ignored.

　　With the help of Google AI, we discovered two new planets, Kepler 90i and Kepler 80g. Kepler 90 was also recognized as the first exogalaxy with at least eight planets.

　　Neural network and machine learning processed 14 billion data points, and then successfully screened out candidates.

　　NASA and Google say that new technologies will find more exoplanets in the future. NASA also said that there is no need to worry about astronomers losing their jobs. Jesse Dotson, a scientist at NASA, explained that astronomers need to classify data before they are provided to neural networks, so that artificial intelligence can learn and analyze new information from them.

　　Dotson said: "AI will definitely work with astronomers in the future and become an indispensable tool."

　　Of course, machine learning also brings the risk of "black box": we get the answer, but we don’t know why the machine makes such a judgment, and maybe the answer is wrong. Machines make mistakes. Astronomers will continue to train and adapt to it.

　　Deep learning does not have "physical intuition"

　　Indeed, artificial intelligence has now penetrated into all branches of astronomy and astrophysics. At present, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the United States can quickly judge the basic cosmological constants such as dark matter and dark energy according to the three-dimensional density distribution of the universe by using deep learning. They found that after applying artificial intelligence, the statistical error is much smaller than that of the traditional statistical methods. In addition, we also use deep learning to search for hydrogen and carbon elements in the early universe in the spectrum with extremely low signal-to-noise ratio, and find that it is better than the traditional method.

　　At the same time, astronomers are also applying deep learning to help us judge the three-dimensional position and distance of celestial bodies, and then outline the large-scale structure of three-dimensional space. It is found that deep learning may be stronger than the traditional methods we used before in mining data and information. Artificial intelligence has also been applied to the field of detecting exoplanets by Google, and several exoplanets … … It can be said that artificial intelligence is now widely used in the frontier field of astrophysics.

　　But from the physicist’s point of view, artificial intelligence based on deep learning may also have its limitations. This limitation is that it can only play a role in a specific field that has been very clearly defined based on data. Only under the guidance of physicists, we can make the error bar of statistics smaller and estimate a certain quantity more accurately, but at present we can’t guide us to discover the new physical laws behind the data. Nor does it have a "physical intuition" based on beauty, symmetry and simplicity that is unique to humans.

　　To give a simple example, for example, Kepler’s observation data based on Tycho can find Kepler’s third law, and even the best machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms at present may be difficult to repeat this discovery based on the same data.

　　Therefore, I think that the essence of the application of deep learning in astronomy is still limited to doing better statistics and fitting.

1905 movie network news The fantasy action adventure film directed by a series of directors and supervised by the producer is being shown in the country, with a cumulative box office of 756 million. With the fermentation of the film’s good reputation and the heated discussion on the hidden details, it has become a craze for the audience to brush the film twice, three times or even n times.

Many viewers chose IMAX version in the second brush, which better felt the visual feast of blood and light in the different world and the auditory impact called "intracranial massage". Under the blessing of the big screen and the immersive sound system, the audience shared, "IMAX 3D version is completely the feeling of exploding the audience. The modeling and scenes are spectacular, and the sound effects are superb. It is simply a great value to enjoy such an audio-visual feast."

9 brush audience certification, IMAX version of excellent audio-visual

Netizen: Various sound effects are simply the gospel of sound control.

The excellent audio-visual effect praised as "domestic ceiling" in the film attracts the audience to enter the cinema again and again, and the sound effects with great sense of design and penetration have also become the focus of audience discussion. The sound effect of wiping the knife with empty words by teenagers and wielding the knife when Black Armor fights the mob are all called "voice-controlled gospel" by netizens, and they said excitedly, "No one can refuse such a sound, and I am willing to watch the movie ten times for this sound effect."

Not only that, but the drums when Kongwen entered the Red-haired Ghost Palace were also impressive. "I can feel that people around me dare not breathe, and I was completely brought into the movie by that voice." And a netizen who has brushed 5 in various cinemas will get a better audio-visual experience in IMAX cinemas. "It will be more obvious for Lu Kongwen to hear the looming" Song of Little Oranges "in the field. A 9-brush audience also excitedly said that" IMAX effect is really different! Be sure to see IMAX! " .

"Two faces" is full of surprises

Audience comment: Please ask Dong Zijian to film every day for 365 days.

In the film, Dong Zijian plays the novelist Lu Kongwen and the juvenile Kongwen. Faced with the role challenge of one article and one martial art, Dong Zijian also handed over the answer sheet that satisfied the audience. "The subtle similarities and differences in the characteristics of the two roles are vividly displayed, and the acting skills are so good that Dong Zijian is invited to film every day for 365 days." There is also the audience’s subtle observation, and they feel the acting skills from their eyes. "Dong Zijian’s pure, angry and resentful eyes make the role full, and hit the floor".

In addition, the novelist’s strong sense of belief also deeply touched the audience. "Dong Zijian brought the seemingly decadent novelist who is actually strong in heart to life", "Seeing him stubbornly say,’ No matter what others say, I believe I can do it’, I feel my eyes are wet".

"The decade since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has witnessed the greatest scientific and technological progress and the fastest improvement in scientific and technological strength. China’s scientific and technological undertakings have undergone historic, holistic and structural changes, successfully entered the ranks of innovative countries and fully integrated into the global innovation network, showing the overall layout and development trend with the characteristics of the new era."

On May 12th, Tommy, Vice Minister of Science and Technology, made the above summary on the development of science and technology at the press conference on the theme of "China this decade" held by the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee.

In the past ten years, from innovation as the first driving force for development, to fully implementing the innovation-driven development strategy, to insisting on putting scientific and technological innovation at the core of the overall national development, and to taking scientific and technological self-reliance as the strategic support for national development, the road of independent innovation with China characteristics has become wider and wider.

The strength of science and technology has risen rapidly.

Statistics show that the total R&D expenditure in China is 2.7 times that in 2012, and the basic research expenditure is 3.4 times that in 2012. China’s global innovation index has risen by 22 places in ten years, making it the only country in the world that keeps rising rapidly.

All-round development, outstanding characteristics and quality improvement … In the past decade, science and technology have become the first driving force to support and lead China’s high-quality economic development and improve people’s livelihood.

Tommy summed up the important characteristics of China’s scientific and technological development in the past ten years-

The level of scientific research and the overall strength of the discipline have greatly increased. Several disciplines have reached the international leading level, and the research and development capabilities of scientific research institutions, universities and leading scientific and technological enterprises have obviously increased in the global position. There were less than 50,000 high-tech enterprises ten years ago, but now there are 330,000. Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, three major international science and technology innovation centers, have all entered the top 10 in the ranking of global science and technology innovation clusters.

Produce a number of world-class scientific and technological achievements in the fields of basic research and strategic high technology. The exploration of Mars by Tian Wen, the landing of Chang ‘e on the moon, the successful docking of the core modules of Shenzhou XIII and Tianhe have made a great leap in China’s deep space exploration. The successful development of "Deep Sea Warrior", "Struggler" and "Haidou No.1" indicates that China has the ability to detect the depth of 10,000 meters in the whole sea. In the field of quantum science and technology, China has become the only country in the world that has reached the milestone of "the superiority of quantum computing" in two physical systems.

Independent research and development of a large number of advanced technical equipment and systems into practical use has become a "sharp weapon" to promote rapid industrial upgrading. Supercomputing, high-speed railway, smart grid, fourth-generation nuclear power and UHV transmission technology have all entered the world’s advanced ranks. In particular, the deep expansion of 5G R&D and application scenarios, and the initial establishment of China’s characteristic ecology for the development of artificial intelligence are accelerating the empowerment of all industries. With the support of large computing power and supercomputing, the digital economy is booming, and a number of smart cities, smart factories, intelligent medical care and intelligent transportation are taking shape.

At the same time, the number of original new drugs developed has increased significantly compared with ten years ago, and a variety of COVID-19 vaccines, detection reagents and therapeutic drugs have strongly supported the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic; In the front line of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization, a large number of science and technology commissioners played an important role; The application of more than 200 achievements of "Science and Technology Winter Olympics" has strongly supported the high-quality hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics …

"Of course, we are also clearly aware that compared with the world’s leading countries, China’s scientific and technological innovation still has a long way to go." Tommy said that facing the future, China’s scientific and technological circles will face up to problems, face up to difficulties and make unremitting efforts to build a world science and technology power.

System reform was accelerated.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee has placed innovation at the core of the overall development of the country, unswervingly followed the road of independent innovation with China characteristics, and made full efforts to reform the scientific and technological system.

"The reform of the science and technology system has always been regarded as the focus of comprehensively deepening reform." Tommy said that in the decade since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform has considered more than 20 major reform programs in the field of science and technology. So far, the 143 tasks deployed in the implementation plan for deepening the reform of the science and technology system proposed by the central government have been fully completed, and the institutional and basic framework for supporting comprehensive innovation has been basically established. Substantial progress has been made in the reform of key areas and key links, and breakthroughs have been made in some key difficulties and blocking points that have not been solved for a long time. China has set up the National Science and Technology Advisory Committee for the first time, established the National Science and Technology Ethics Committee, reconstructed the science and technology planning system, solved the problem of closed and scattered allocation of science and technology resources, and the science and technology governance mechanism is more suitable for the needs of science and technology development. The national laboratory has been built, the reorganization of the national key laboratory system has been initiated, the autonomy of universities and research institutes has been expanded, the main position of enterprise innovation has been basically established, the national strategic scientific and technological strength has been further strengthened, and a strong synergy has been formed to promote scientific and technological innovation.

In the aspect of scientific research funds, the distribution policy oriented by knowledge value is implemented, the management system of scientific and technological projects and funds based on trust is established, the evaluation orientation centered on quality, performance and contribution is established, and the incentive for scientific researchers is greatly enhanced. Through the reform of "three evaluations", the reform of project evaluation, talent evaluation and institutional evaluation has been carried out in an orderly manner, and many localities and units have explored the realization path of classified evaluation.

Following the law of scientific exploration and technological innovation, we have implemented the system of "revealing the list and taking the lead" and "horse racing" for major tasks, implemented the chief scientist responsibility system for frontier exploration projects, and set up subversive technical projects to support scientists’ bold exploration. In the "14th Five-Year Plan" national key R&D plan, young scientists are generally set up, so that more young scientists can take the lead and take the lead, which has been widely welcomed. In addition, it also gives scientists greater decision-making power on technical routes and the right to use funds, freeing researchers from the cumbersome and unnecessary institutional constraints.

In order to solve the long-standing problem of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, an important orientation of scientific and technological system reform in recent years is to speed up the establishment of the transfer and transformation system of scientific and technological achievements and open up channels among science and technology, industry and finance. To this end, the reward for the transformation income of scientific and technological personnel has been greatly increased, the right to use, dispose of and benefit from scientific and technological achievements has been fully decentralized, and a pilot project has been carried out to give scientific and technological personnel ownership and long-term use rights.

Established a relatively complete inclusive policy and institutional arrangement to encourage enterprise innovation. The deduction ratio of R&D expenses of enterprises has increased from 50% in 2012 and 75% in 2018 to 100% in the fields of technology-based SMEs and manufacturing, which reflects the orientation of supporting technology-based SMEs. At present, more than 3/4 of China’s total social R&D investment is invested by enterprises, and 79% of the national key R&D plans are led or participated by enterprises.

The technology trading market continues to grow, and the activity of the technology trading market reflects the activity of the transfer and transformation of achievements. Last year, the national technology contract transaction volume reached 3.7 trillion, far exceeding the R&D investment of the whole society in that year and 5.8 times that of 2012.

In the capital market, the establishment of science and technology innovation board, the reform of the Growth Enterprise Market, the establishment of the North Stock Exchange, and the smooth channels for direct listing and financing of hard technology enterprises are forming a virtuous circle of mutual shaping of science and technology, industry and finance. In the past, weak ties, where science, technology and economy were amplified by the participation of financial and capital markets, has become a strong coupling now.

"To achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, China depends on high-level innovative talents in the final analysis." Tommy said that in the next step, the Ministry of Science and Technology will, in accordance with the deployment of the CPC Central Committee, take the implementation of the three-year plan for tackling key problems in scientific and technological reform as the main line, pay close attention to implementation, stimulate the innovative vitality of all kinds of talents, and make more researchers with real talents and practical knowledge available.

　　Recently, Gamma Data released the Monthly Report of China Game Industry in January 2024 (hereinafter referred to as the report). The report shows that in January 2024, the actual sales revenue of China mobile game market was 17.687 billion yuan, down 4.17% from the previous month and up 0.39% year-on-year. Wang Xu, chief analyst of China game industry, said that there are two main reasons for the year-on-year growth this month. First, some old products that have been online for several years have achieved revenue growth. Second, some new tours launched this month have brought increments.

　　In January, 2024, the number of mobile game products increased, with some products increasing by over 1 billion yuan, and the share of self-propelled chess in TOP50 increased by 217% year-on-year. Wang Xu said that competitive products are an important source of market revenue growth this month, and such products are more likely to grow during long holidays, such as the cold and summer holidays, the Spring Festival holidays and the time periods before and after.

　　In January, the share of self-propelled chess games in TOP50 mobile games increased by 5.8%, up by 217% year-on-year. The growth was mainly driven by some products. At the same time, some self-propelled chess products entered the gamma data flow calculation list TOP2 this month, which is also the highest ranking of this product so far. Its growth is mainly due to the fact that this kind of products update their seasonal activities in January and update the collection and shopping mall simultaneously. In addition, Wang Xu emphasized that the share of interactive drama has also increased this month. This type has sprung up in recent years, and the sales volume on steam has also continued to grow. In the future, more similar products will be put into the market. The deeper reason is the change of user demand.

　　In the new tour, the report analyzed the advertising of some new tour products, and the advertising of such products was mainly concentrated on the day of launch, and remained at the TOP15 of the best-selling list of iOS games within the statistical date. Some products have also obtained a high ranking in terms of overseas downloads.

　　According to 21st century business herald, the reporter noted that the Tianjin Municipal People’s Government issued the "Proposal on Further Promoting the Construction of Financial Innovation Operation Demonstration Zone" on January 8. The plan points out the overall goal of the future in three time periods: in the next three years, it will continue to maintain the leading position in the financial leasing and commercial factoring industries in China, and at the same time create a number of financial agglomeration symbol areas with themes and characteristics. In the next five years, the added value of the financial industry will account for about 15% of the regional GDP, and the overall asset scale of leasing will reach 2.7 trillion yuan. The scale of leasing and disposal of aircraft, international shipping vessels and offshore platforms will remain above 80% in the whole country, and the total assets and factoring financing balance of the commercial factoring industry will remain the first in the country. In 2035, a world-class national leasing innovation demonstration zone and a national commercial factoring capital will be built in an all-round way, which will provide a practical sample for China’s characteristic financial development.
