Good news came from many fields in our country this week
The space launch was a complete success
China's first cross-sea urban railway opens to traffic
Energy infrastructure is blooming in many places
every breakthrough
All demonstrate the confidence of a big country to develop
my country's first large-scale application of 18 MW offshore wind turbine project put into operation
On September 24, my country's first large-scale application of 18 MW offshore wind turbine project was put into operation at full capacity, which will promote the accelerated development of my country's offshore wind power in the direction of large capacity and low cost.
The CGN Guangdong Yangjiang Fanshi 2-million-kilowatt offshore wind power project put into operation this time consists of two million-kilowatt sub-projects, including 33 18-megawatt ultra-large offshore wind turbines. It is currently the largest offshore wind turbine model with the largest single-machine capacity in mass production in China.
After large-scale application, it can effectively reduce the number of aircraft positions and reduce the cost of submarine cable laying, offshore foundation construction and sea area occupation.
Total weight exceeds 3500 tons
my country's largest diameter double-shield hard rock boring machine comes off the production line
On September 24, the "Yuexi", the largest diameter dual-shield hard rock boring machine independently developed in my country, rolled off the production line in Sichuan. Its excavation diameter reaches 13.01 meters and the total weight of the machine exceeds 3,500 tons. It is equipped with a full-process intelligent construction system and can flexibly cope with complex working conditions such as large deformation of soft rock and fault fracture zones. It will be used in the construction of the Yuexi Tunnel on the Jinkou River to Xichang Expressway.
The Yuexi Tunnel, which is approximately 18.4 kilometers long, is a control project of the Jinxi Expressway. The Jinxi Expressway is a rapid connection line between the G5 Beijing-Kunming Expressway and the G7611 Duxiang Expressway. Once completed and opened to traffic, it will end the history of no expressways in Ganluo, Yuexi and Xide counties.
my country successfully launched 26 sets of satellite Internet satellites in low orbit
At 21:32 on September 23, 2026, Beijing time, my country used the Long March 8A carrier rocket at the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site to successfully launch 26 sets of satellite Internet low-orbit satellites. The satellites successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
my country successfully launched the Remote Sensing 40-04 satellites
At 16:46 on September 24, 2026, Beijing time, my country used the Long March-6 modified carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center to successfully launch the Remote Sensing 40-04 satellite group into space. The satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
The world's largest 500MW impulse hydropower unit runner was successfully delivered
On September 23, my country's independently developed 500MW impulse hydropower unit runner with the world's largest single unit capacity was successfully delivered in Deyang, Sichuan, and will be used in the Datang Zhala Hydropower Station in Tibet, marking a new level of my country's high-end hydropower core equipment technology.
The core runner delivered this time weighs 80 tons and has an outer diameter of 6.2 meters. Its hydraulic efficiency has set a new world record. The R&D team has overcome complex surface design problems, optimized structural parameters, and achieved independent control of the entire chain of design, manufacturing, and process, with the core technology fully localized.
China's first cross-sea urban railway opened to traffic
On September 22, my country’s first cross-sea urban railway, the Ningbo-Xiangshan Municipal Railway (Ningxiang Line), was opened to operation.
The Ningxiang Line starts from Xiaoyangjiang Station in Yinzhou District, Ningbo City in the north and ends at Damuwan Station in Xiangshan County in the south. It has a total length of 61.45 kilometers and a total of 10 stations. It uses 4 urban A-type trains and has a maximum operating speed of 160 kilometers per hour. After the line is put into operation, the history of Xiangshan Peninsula without rail transit has ended.
China's first 2-ton tethered balloon put into trial operation
On September 21, China’s first 2-ton load tethered balloon was put into trial operation in the Tibet-Guangdong DC Project.
The so-called load-bearing tethered balloon is to place a helium-filled balloon into the air, connect it to the ground with a cable, and control the height and horizontal position by retracting and releasing the cable to transport materials at high altitudes. It can fly up to 800 meters, transport up to 2 tons, and the displacement error does not exceed 0.5 meters.
Traditional road construction has a long transportation cycle and great ecological disturbance. Although drones are maneuverable and flexible, they still have limitations in scenarios such as large loads and long-term continuous transportation. Tethered balloon transportation technology effectively breaks these limitations.
The continuous good news coming from various fields is the most vivid footnote of our country’s development strength. We look forward to more hard-core breakthroughs and continuous innovation!
