How did the miracle of China high-speed rail work?

China's high-speed rail has completed the 40-year development path of developed countries in only five years. How was this miracle created? During the one-and-a-half-month interview, the reporter found that in almost all aspects, such as lines, bridges, tunnels, culverts and other engineering technologies, communications, signals, traction power supply systems, operation scheduling and passenger service systems, and the design and production of high-speed EMUs, we can see the original innovation, integrated innovation and the introduction of digestive innovation. It can be said that the core value and the greatest success of China's high-speed rail development model is to introduce, digest, absorb and innovate the road of independent innovation.

We must take the road of independent innovation.

As early as the China high-speed railway was just put into operation, a serious question was placed in front of the railway builders in China. This question must be answered: Does China really own the intellectual property rights of high-speed rail technology? Or: Does China High-speed Railway really belong to China?

To this question, Zhang Shuguang, deputy chief engineer of the Ministry of Railways and director of the Transportation Bureau, replied: "the State Council, the CPC Central Committee, made a major decision and began to build high-speed railways in 2004, taking the development path of original innovation, integrated innovation and introduction, digestion, absorption and innovation. These three methods are independent innovations. "

Independent innovation is the concrete action of China high-speed rail builders to "accelerate the transformation of economic growth mode", and it is also the only way that China high-speed rail people have repeatedly confirmed in their construction practice. At the end of 2009, before the official opening of Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway, Chen Min, then the chief dispatcher of Guangzhou Railway Group, would definitely invite Japanese colleagues to visit the cab.

At that time, people only saw the smile on Chen Min's face, but no one knew why he did it. Because when Chen Min visited the Shinkansen three years ago, he tried to get a picture of the cab: at first, four requests were not approved, and later, after layers of examination and approval, although he reluctantly agreed, he could only take a picture of the cab from a distance.

This experience made Chen Min deeply understand why we must take the road of "independent innovation". Because "import" is like a broken password book, it will be helpful to get it, but you can only master it by your own efforts!

Without innovation, China high-speed rail can only be empty talk!

Xi Zhongwei, deputy general manager of the 15th Railway Bureau. In the construction of high-speed rail bridge, he also encountered the problem brought by the introduction of technology-the foreign party provided a cement ratio scheme, but it was not acclimatized and could not adapt to the domestic construction environment. Without digestion, absorption and innovation, introduction can only be abandoned. Xi Zhongwei said that great efforts were made and tens of thousands of experiments were made at that time, which fundamentally changed the original material system in Germany. A concrete slab, without independent innovation, can't serve China high-speed rail! What's more, China High-speed Railway is a behemoth integrating design and construction, equipment manufacturing, train control, system integration, operation management and other complete sets of technologies-no innovation, only empty talk!

Statistics show that up to now, only Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway, China high-speed railway construction has obtained 946 patents. If we use monuments to commemorate each patent and arrange them evenly along the Wuhan-Guangzhou Railway, passengers can see a "China Creation Monument" almost every ten seconds. When China high-speed rail made an international appraisal, the comment was "It represents the advanced technology of international high-speed rail today." All these will provide long-term support for China's high-speed railway construction.

"Our destiny is linked to the fate of high-speed rail."

There are no tall monuments along the high-speed railway in China. All the builders wrote their names at the passenger's feet, at the bottom of the bullet train and on the back of the track. Because the manufacturer's name is on the bottom of the train and the back of the track. In the electronic file, it is also clear who is the process and who is the driver. Why are you doing this? Liu Lili, a wiring worker of CNR Tangche Company, said, firstly, we should improve our sense of responsibility, and secondly, we should link our destiny with that of the car.

Link our destiny with the fate of high-speed rail! ! Every passenger of China high-speed rail should remember that an ordinary builder once said such a thing.

In the development of high-speed bullet trains in China, CSR and CNR are the two main forces. Xinli is the chief expert of converter specialty in CSR Zhuzhou Institute. At the critical moment when the technology of a domestic EMU was tackled, I suddenly found that my eyesight dropped sharply. Xinli's eye disease was diagnosed by doctors as the result of long-term computer ultraviolet burns. His eyesight dropped from 0.8 to less than 0.2. The doctor said it was impossible to recover, and there was still a risk of blindness if this continued. "My wife lost her temper and wanted to smash my laptop. I said that there is no way, but I still have to do it. " Sony insists. He is responsible for the key technology of the China EMU, which will be off the assembly line at the end of this year, with an unprecedented speed of 380 kilometers per hour!

Sun Binbin is a young female welder of CNR Tangche Company. At the beginning of high-speed rail construction, she encountered a thorny problem of aluminum alloy welding. Faced with difficulties, Sun Binbin chose the method of asking for trouble. Before the equipment and protective gear were fully equipped, she took the time to practice the welding technology of aluminum alloy privately before the production began. A year later, Sun Binbin obtained the European certified international welding teacher certificate, and she was the first woman in the world to obtain this qualification.

I remember 50 years ago, someone once said: I would rather live less than 20 years, and I will try my best to win a big oil field! Later, people called the person who said this "Iron Man". Today, this group of builders are also working hard for the development of the motherland. Coincidentally, they also have the word Iron Man in their names. They are called "China high-speed rail people"!

"Intellectual property is our own"

He Huawu told reporters: "We have the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the political advantages of the socialist system, the advantages of a complete railway network and a centralized and unified command and management system, and a high-quality railway staff who are particularly capable of fighting. The support of the people has given us infinite strength. The leap of China high-speed rail runs through the red line of Scientific Outlook on Development and has embarked on a road of independent innovation with China characteristics. "

Finally, back to the opening question: Does China really own the intellectual property rights of high-speed rail technology? Zhang Shuguang answered affirmatively: This is absolutely reassuring! There are no obstacles for us to go out, because intellectual property rights are our own.

China high-speed rail enterprises with completely independent intellectual property rights have launched a series of competitions in the international market. China enterprises such as China South Locomotive, China Railway Construction, Beijing Railway Bureau and CNR can bid for high-speed rail projects in Saudi Arabia and the United States. The locomotives, motor trains and parts made in China have been exported to more than 50 countries and regions in the world. China South Locomotive and China CNR won $2.3 billion in overseas contracts last year. The high-speed rail company also plans to export high-speed rail technology and related equipment to European and Latin American countries. China high-speed rail has become an excellent brand of "Made in China". Its institutional advantages, independent innovation and the dedication of high-speed rail people are the three most valuable magic weapons of this brand.
