Four major inventions of modern China:
1. Super hybrid rice: In the 1970s, my country became the first country in the world to successfully cultivate hybrid rice and apply it to large-scale production. nation. For this reason, Yuan Longping has won many domestic awards such as the "National Special Invention Award", the "First National Highest Science and Technology Award" and 11 international awards such as the United Nations "Science Award", "Wolf Award" and "World Food Award". He was elected as an academician of the National Academy of Sciences in 2006. At present, super hybrid rice has a high yield of 847 kilograms per mu, which marks that China’s super hybrid rice breeding research has once again surpassed itself and continues to lead the world. This achievement has epoch-making significance in solving the most basic food problem for mankind, and should be listed as modern China's greatest contribution to mankind.
2. Laser phototypesetting of Chinese characters: This achievement has paved the way for the farewell to type printing of Chinese characters, the most abundant text in the world. It is of great significance to realize the modernization of China's press, publishing and printing field. It aroused the admiration of the contemporary printing world and was hailed as another revolution in Chinese printing technology. Chinese can be written into computers, which means that other non-phonetic languages ??in the world can be written into computers. Chinese wisdom has made outstanding contributions to the world!
3. Artificially synthesized insulin: In 1965, Chinese scientists completed the synthesis of bovine crystalline insulin, which was the first time in the world to artificially synthesize peptide bioactive substances. The first biologically active protein was artificially synthesized, breaking through the boundary between the field of general organic compounds and the field of biopolymers with concentrated information, and taking an important step in the long process of human understanding of life phenomena.
4. Compound artemether: Compound artemether is the first drug with a new chemical structure discovered in China, and it is also an original Chinese drug that is currently widely recognized internationally. By the end of 2005, it had been designated as a first-line drug for malaria treatment by 26 Asian and African countries. It is a milestone in the history of the treatment of malaria, a highly contagious disease. Coartem is still the only Chinese patented drug that is widely recognized and sold around the world. It is the only Chinese drug that has truly gone global. .
