● To help enterprises tackle key technical problems, Sichuan explored the establishment of the first large-scale scientific instrument sharing platform in integration of defense and civilian technologies, and promoted the open sharing of scientific research resources such as large-scale scientific instruments and equipment.

● Create innovative cooperation platforms. At present, there are 9 major scientific and technological infrastructures built and under construction in the province, ranking among the top in the country, with 151 national scientific and technological innovation platforms and 1,332 provincial scientific and technological innovation platforms.

● Promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Sichuan strives to solve the "first mile" and "last mile" problems of scientific and technological achievements transformation, stimulate the vitality of scientific research in colleges and universities, and at the same time strengthen the transformation of achievements, avoid ineffective research and development, and "research" rather than "development"

First-line tidal observation

It is an important reform task entrusted to Sichuan by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to systematically promote the comprehensive innovation reform experiment.

In August 2015, our province became one of the eight comprehensive innovation and reform pilot zones in China. Chengde Mian area, which has concentrated nearly 70% of the province’s scientific and technological strength, has taken on the heavy responsibility of promoting implementation. How to rely on the profound scientific and technological "internal strength" to accurately point out the "acupoints" of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and create a set of beautiful "boxing methods" to promote industrial development through science and technology?

From May 9th, the report group of "Magnificent 70-year Struggle in a New Era —— Journalists Visiting the National Experimental Zone" walked from north to south along Mianyang, Deyang and Chengdu to visit the "Kung Fu Cheats" of Sichuan’s comprehensive innovation and reform experiment.

From static rotation

Open the glass door, help the laboratory technology to insert "wings" and break into the vast industrial sky.

On the afternoon of May 15th, Professor Li Jianjun from the School of Architecture and Environment of Sichuan University opened a message box to reporters in the laboratory. In addition to the scholar’s elegance, it is difficult to hide a capable temperament in him.

"There are many transactions, and they are complicated. Please forgive me." Li Jianjun said. A string of titles on his business card reminds reporters that he is not only the "big cow" of flue gas desulfurization technology in China, but also the operational responsibility of related industrial companies.

Flue gas desulfurization is mainly to convert sulfur dioxide into sulfur trioxide and then into sulfuric acid. Other technologies need to be carried out at a high temperature of more than 400 degrees, and the flue gas needs to be heated. After about 8 years of scientific research, by 2010, the Li Jianjun team has mastered a relatively mature flue gas desulfurization technology, which can be carried out at 50-200 degrees, with environmental protection and cost advantages.

However, the technical achievements have gone out of the laboratory to realize industrialization, but this thin "glass door" is not easy to pass. A slightly embarrassing question is: how to distribute the benefits brought by the results between teams and units? Also, can scientists be good managers of enterprises?

In 2016, Sichuan University promoted the innovation of the transformation mechanism of scientific and technological achievements, and explored the confirmation of duty inventions, that is, recognized the ownership share of scientific researchers’ personal invention inspiration, innovative ideas and realization ability in the final results. As for the team achievements in Li Jianjun, the team and the school distribute the benefits of the achievements transformation according to 85: 15.

Accordingly, the team members raised funds to set up a company, focusing on a link in the industrial application of this technology: the production of catalysts and related supporting services, and after its establishment, it realized an output value of 30 million yuan. "Now hire a professional manager to take care of the company so that the team can continue to focus on the main business." Li Jianjun’s tone is calm. "The school has not talked with the team about redistribution, and it needs to be improved in the refinement of the system."

Let the scientific and technological achievements "realize" and let the scientific research team study calmly. Mianyang’s approach is the same-set up relevant technology trading centers, use professional technical brokers to run errands for the scientific research team, and promote the evaluation, trading and financing of scientific and technological achievements. At present, the center has recruited 71 technical brokers nationwide, mainly responsible for collecting local technology supply and demand information.

Turn emptiness into reality

From patent to mass production, we make moves in the square inch of the transformation of results, which gives birth to "singles" experts in sub-sectors

Carefully picked up two small bottles of transparent liquid, and looked at the light source carefully … The two bottles of liquid with a price difference of twice could not be seen in the eyes of reporters. R&D personnel explained that because the luminous flux difference between the two bottles of liquid is 3%, "the high price can reach 10 thousand yuan per kilogram."

On the morning of May 10th, in the final test site of Mianyang Huabao Dingye Technology Co., Ltd., the crude iron stairs led us to the front of three "big guys". Glassware and metal pipes were connected with each other, and traces of tape fixation could be seen at individual joints.

"These three devices took two years, and it took about 10 million yuan to mature." Touching a sunken pipeline on the equipment, Chen Caihu, general manager of Mianyang Huabao Dingye Technology Co., Ltd., was quite emotional.

In 2016, at a technical achievement conference, Chen Caihu learned that a silicone material technology of China Academy of Engineering Physics was looking for a transferee. After paying 7 million yuan for the technology, it took him three years to get through the road of industrialization and finally made a profit in June 2019.

When a technology moves from laboratory to industrialization, it is necessary not only to optimize the production process to reduce costs and stabilize product quality, but also to identify the market and develop products around market demand. To this end, Chen Caihu set up a research and development team and solved the production process problem in two years. In order to find the market, he conducted a market survey for one year before purchasing the technology, and then conducted product verification with downstream enterprises for three years. "It is to convince the other party that your product quality is excellent and reliable."

Take the LED packaging adhesive market as an example. Compared with the epoxy resin in 100 yuan, the luminous flux of silicone, which is several thousand yuan per kilogram, is larger, which can make the LED brighter. However, processing enterprises dare not rashly adopt new suppliers, which requires product verification, and it takes one year to do it once.

"I feel very lucky, the technology is very good, mass production can be achieved, and the market has given us an opportunity to break the monopoly of foreign brands, but the intervening years are really not easy." Chen Caihu said.

Simplify complexity

Customize the "knife method" and deepen the public production service, so that big countries can also "dance"

The ground part is as high as 27 meters and weighs about 22,000 tons, of which 68 are single parts exceeding 70 tons-the world’s largest 80,000-ton die forging press, which is a well-deserved "big country heavyweight".

This press makes the metal material flow in the die under strong pressure, refines the internal grains, and realizes the overall precision forming of large die forgings. It is mainly used in aerospace, nuclear energy, petrochemical industry, shipbuilding, power and other industrial fields. "For example, in the past, an aviation component needed to weld two pieces. With a large die forging press, it can be formed at one time, making the product more integrated, precise and lightweight." Xie Jing, deputy general manager of China Erzhong Wanhang Company, said.

If the 80,000-ton die forging press is compared to a "treasure knife", it is necessary to rely on Deyang’s strong industrial production service ability to tailor the "knife method" for forging different workpieces.

For example, in order to ensure the accuracy of a C919 product, sichuan engineering technical college took the lead in designing a set of strengthening scheme for high-temperature wear-resistant materials. Through small-scale tests, it took half a year to improve the wear resistance of a set of molds, ensuring the precision control of the product and solving the bottleneck problem for the mass production of C919 products.

At present, Sichuan Institute of Engineering and Technology has three provincial engineering laboratories, which can help similar high-tech equipment and instruments in Chengde Mian to give full play to their hidden value.

In the Robot Application Technology Engineering Laboratory of Sichuan Equipment Manufacturing Industry, the high roof is enough for the drone to take off and take aerial photos inside. The factory building is large, and the processing objects are also large. A dark "round cover" with a diameter of about 3 meters is placed in a bright and modern laboratory, and a large piece of newspaper on it has been polished to reveal the background color.

This is a valve cover used in nuclear power field. When it is cast, it has a layer of black substance on its surface, which needs to be cleaned and polished with a grinding wheel. In the past, these jobs required workers to work at high temperatures. The task undertaken by this laboratory is to replace it with robots. "This is actually very difficult. Industrial robots are suitable for simple and repetitive work, and this work requires robots to identify and plan their own paths." Hu Minghua, head of the laboratory, said.

A yellow industrial robot stood by, with many "weapons and equipment" hanging on it. "This one is equivalent to the robot’s eyes, and this computer is the head." In Hu Minghua’s view, robots, lathes and even 80,000-ton die forging presses are all basic platforms. To use the platform well, a special team is needed to design and develop application schemes. "Our team is entrusted by the enterprise to tailor the solution for it, so that the effectiveness of the platform can be fully exerted." Hu Minghua said.
