These large scientific devices are large research facilities invested and constructed by the state to solve strategic, basic and forward-looking scientific and technological problems in major scientific and technological frontiers and national strategic needs, and to seek major breakthroughs. They are an important part of national infrastructure. developed country Scientific and technological innovation system The experience of and the development practice of large scientific facilities in China show that as a national scientific research infrastructure level and Equipment manufacturing Concentrated expression of ability, supported by large scientific devices Basic Sciences Frontier research and Interdisciplinary The construction and operation level of the public platform for cutting-edge research marks a national core and original innovation ability The height of. Large scientific equipment has become a necessary condition for breakthroughs in many fields of modern science and technology. It provides essential scientific and technological infrastructure to promote the comprehensive, coordinated, sustainable development of the economy and society and national security. It is an important condition for the establishment of a large national scientific research base with strong international competitiveness, and it has become the source of many high-tech and the cradle of high-tech industries.
Yan Yonglian, head of the research group on the development strategy of large scientific devices, said that modern society is increasingly dependent on basic data and information, and large scientific devices as scientific and technological infrastructure play an important role in the collection and utilization of data and various information. For example, space Earth observation technology The application of GIS provides a revolutionary means for the investigation, monitoring, research and related economic construction activities in agriculture, forestry, water, soil, geology, geology, mining, petroleum, environmental protection, urban planning, disasters, etc. Remote sensing satellite ground station In the whole earth observation system chain data collection , archiving and distribution functions in one indispensable link between the preceding and the following intermediate hub and infrastructure. with China Remote Sensing Satellite Earth Station Take for example. After 16 years of operation, it has provided a large amount of earth for more than 20 ministries and 30 provinces and cities in China observed data , for example south-to-north water diversion Engineering West East Gas Transmission Engineering, etc Major projects This provides a scientific basis for decision-making. In 1987, the Great Khingan Mountains forest fire And 1998 Yangtze River Nenjiang Catastrophic flood During this period, the remote sensing satellite ground station was responsible for national disaster relief Commander in Chief The accurate disaster data provided by the Ministry played a significant role in disaster relief and post disaster construction. Therefore, it can be said that large scientific devices are essential infrastructure to provide security for social development.
But, in Bai Chunli It seems that the role of these large scientific devices is far from being played, and there is still a long way to go before "making the best use of everything". "Open sharing is a prominent feature of large scientific installations." He believed that as an important part of national investment in construction Scientific and technological resources The scientific objectives of large scientific devices reflect the needs of the country in the development of relevant fields. To meet these needs, we must open up to the whole country. Not only platform type public research devices and public welfare science and technology facilities with wide applications and services need more user teams to achieve significant research results, but also special research devices must serve the majority of users in related fields to better accomplish their mission.
Large scientific devices not only serve the country's major needs and the main battlefield of economy, but also lead scientists to explore the mysteries of the universe Industrial manufacturing Talent cohesion international co-operation And other aspects radiation effect [3]
