over 13 million times!

recently, benyuan quantum computing technology (hefei) co., ltd., located in hefei, anhui, disclosed that my country's third-generation independent superconducting quantum computer "benyuan wukong" has successfully responded to more than 13 million visits from 125 countries around the world since it was put into operation in january this year, and has completed more than 250,000 quantum computing tasks in total.

stepping into the benyuan quantum computer room, the "benyuan wukong" quantum computer cluster is turned on, and the sense of technology and the future are overwhelming. "talking to 'benyuan wukong' can assist in drug discovery in the biological field, and improve the accuracy of breast mammography screening in the field of artificial intelligence... the future of quantum computing has arrived!" kong weicheng, the head of the "benyuan wukong" hardware development team, excitedly told reporters.

with quantum technology as a representative, the development of new productivity is in the ascendant in the jianghuai region. look! the new display industry continues to open up "new horizons", the new energy vehicle industry continues to run at an "accelerated speed", and the aerospace information industry can reach the moon...

1. digitalization: a new way to make an old tree bloom

the cup of milk that has accompanied the people of huaibei, anhui as they grow up is changing because of "numbers".

walking into the milking hall of xiqiang dairy in xiangshan economic development zone, huaibei city, the rotary milking machine is performing automatic milking. qualified raw milk is directly transported to the downstream workshop through a sealed pipeline. if unqualified raw milk is encountered, the system will automatically stop milking and alarm. "in the past, parallel milking was used, and the daily milk production was only more than 40 tons. now, with rotary milking, the daily milk production is nearly 80 tons." xie yiman, the head of the milking hall of xiqiang dairy farm, introduced.

digitalization has also given dairy farming a technological boost. in the pasture next to the milking hall, every cow is given an orange ear tag from birth. "this seemingly ordinary ear tag is equivalent to the cow's 'electronic id card'." zhang he, head of xiqiang dairy information center, opens the system and can see the "family background" of each cow, including birth information, epidemic prevention status, milk production, etc. at a glance. digitalization helps scientific and precise breeding enter the fast lane.

however, wang changling, general manager of xiqiang dairy, revealed that the company once failed to keep up with the development of digitalization. "after 60 years of ups and downs, we must not let the company be overturned by the wave of digital transformation."

in recent years, xiqiang dairy has replaced 15 sets of original management software and built its own management platform, integrating full-link traceability management into all work units, and realizing the management of pastures, inventory, production, quality inspection, and sales with "codes". so far, the company's digital technology has covered more than 550 application scenarios, and the amount of data accumulated each year exceeds 1 million. "through digital construction, the company's revenue has increased from more than 30 million yuan to 140 million yuan, which is a true 'new flower on an old tree'," wang changling told reporters.

it is understood that more than 150 enterprises in huaibei city have implemented high-end, intelligent and green transformation of production lines.

"you see, production data is uploaded to the central control platform in real time, and workers can obtain equipment status and production progress at any time, and no longer have to run back and forth between production lines." ye haijun, general manager of maanshan aotejia technology co., ltd., took reporters into the workshop, and rows of display screens came into view on the production line. "the company is mainly engaged in automobile cylinder block manufacturing. since the introduction of the antelope industrial internet platform, both tool monitoring and tool compensation have achieved remarkable results, with less downtime and higher quality." ye haijun has a deep feeling of the "sweetness" brought by digitalization.

in may this year, ma'anshan bowang district teamed up with antelope industrial internet platform to launch the bowang industrial internet platform. so far, the platform has served more than 200 small and medium-sized enterprises such as machine tools, blade molds, and mechanical parts. across the country, more than 1 million users have joined hands with "antelope", and the platform has provided services more than 5 million times in total, helping traditional enterprises run at the speed of "antelope".

in the jianghuai region, transformation and upgrading are surging like a tide. by 2023, 7,737 manufacturing enterprises above designated size in anhui will complete digital transformation, 34,600 manufacturing enterprises below designated size will have digital applications, more than 1,200 key technical transformation projects with a total investment of more than 100 million yuan will be implemented, and more than 5,000 new manufacturing enterprises above designated size will undergo digital transformation.

2. strong chain, automatic production line "full firepower"

dipping his hands in water, the pancake chef tao shengli put the dough into the furnace. three minutes later, an authentic "xiatang pancake" came out of the oven.

wearing a new work badge, tao shengli's son-in-law and byd hefei base worker liu chang led reporters into the base. on the production line with an automation rate of over 97%, a complete vehicle rolls off the line every 50 seconds.

from a little-known "shaobing town" to a highland of new energy vehicle industry, the story of "relying on the city to counterattack" and developing new quality productivity in accordance with local conditions is being played out in xiatang town, changfeng county, hefei city, anhui province.

"in 2023, changfeng will produce and sell nearly 500,000 new energy vehicles, a year-on-year increase of nearly 400%; the output value will exceed 62 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of more than 320%!" yang bin, a member of the party leadership group of the changfeng county development and reform commission, used data to illustrate the rapid development of the county's new energy vehicle industry.

this is also a microcosm of the development of anhui's automobile industry. in 2023, anhui's automobile production will reach 2.491 million units, an increase of 48.1%, of which the production of new energy vehicles will reach 868,000 units, an increase of 60.5%. in the first year of the automobile industry being identified as the "first industry", anhui's automobile production has historically crossed the 2 million mark, becoming the second largest in the country.

anhui has two major independent brands, jac and chery, as well as a solid industrial foundation, supporting industries and talent pool. in addition, the superposition of multiple national strategies such as the yangtze river economic belt and the integrated development of the yangtze river delta provides opportunities for anhui to overtake others in the new energy vehicle industry.

"in anhui, we can save 4,000 to 5,000 yuan in making a car!" said li bin, ceo of nio.

how do you save money? the key lies in the industrial chain.

with vehicle manufacturing as the leader of the chain, anhui has gathered more than 1,200 auto parts companies. all cities in anhui have new energy vehicle-related supporting enterprises. a new energy vehicle can be equipped with all parts within a three-hour drive.

in linquan county, fuyang city, about a three-hour drive from hefei city, luxshare precision industry (anhui) co., ltd.'s production line is "in full swing", with car wiring harnesses being shipped to all parts of the country. "the output value in july was 83 million yuan," said xu zhijun, the company's general manager, who could not hide his excitement. "after the first phase of the project reaches full production, the annual output value can reach more than 2 billion yuan, and the second phase of the project is also progressing steadily."

it is understood that in recent years, fuyang has taken the "first industry" as the guide and established a special team for the new energy vehicle industry chain. relying on the solid foundation of the manufacturing industry, the rich resources of skilled workers, and practical measures to attract investment, it has attracted one "luxshare" after another to settle in fuyang. in 2023, the operating income of enterprises in the new energy vehicle industry chain in fuyang was 22.49 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.4%, and now 260 related enterprises have been gathered.

in wuhu, on the banks of the yangtze river, chery is accelerating its transformation to new energy, cooperating with leading companies such as huawei and focusing on new energy vehicles and intelligent connected vehicles. "the transformation is now in place," said yin tongyue, chairman of chery holding group. "the number of technical r&d personnel has increased from 2,000 to 20,000, which is the basis for our transformation."

standing at a new starting point, anhui has set a bigger goal - by 2025, automobile production will reach 4.1 million vehicles, with new energy vehicles accounting for 50%; by 2027, it will become a "smart car province" with global reputation and influence.

the new display industry is also one of anhui's main tracks for competing for new quality productivity.

wearing ar glasses to display the terminal, the vivid picture instantly "jumps" in front of you. it is hard to imagine that such a magical display effect comes from a display screen that is only half the size of a fingernail - a 0.49-inch silicon-based oled (organic light-emitting diode) micro display screen.

"this product has been successfully applied to drone head-mounted control displays. aerial photography enthusiasts can wear it to immerse themselves in the first-person perspective of drones." feng hua, senior vice president of hefei shiya display technology co., ltd., introduced that micro-display is an important branch of the new display industry with high technological content and high technical barriers, and is also the hardware foundation of emerging industries such as vr/ar and metaverse. "at present, we have the world's first production line for silicon-based oled micro-displays on 12-inch wafers, and silicon-based oled micro-display products are leading in shipments in the domestic consumer goods field." feng hua said.

there are micro displays that "see the big picture from the small" and flexible displays that "win with flexibility". the flexible amoled (active matrix organic light-emitting diode) display products created by hefei visionox technology co., ltd. are not only bendable, but also retractable like a roller blind. this year, visionox signed a memorandum of cooperation with the hefei municipal government to invest in the construction of the 8.6th generation amoled production line, with a total investment of about 55 billion yuan.

as one of the earliest cities in china to deploy display panel manufacturing, hefei has gathered a large number of leading companies in the industry chain, such as boe, visionox, and seeya technology. the output value of new display technologies is expected to exceed 100 billion yuan in 2023.

3. new track, industrial clusters are accelerating

in 2022, the "chaohu-1" satellite was successfully launched. as the country's first commercial networked sar remote sensing satellite, it has "demonstrated its prowess" in disaster prevention and relief operations in many places around the world.

in recent years, hefei has been constantly "taking off", crossing the sea of ​​stars and opening up the road to the sky - "maritime silk road no. 1", "hefei hi-tech no. 1", "tiandu satellite" and other satellites have been launched into space intensively. hefei's aerospace information industry has covered remote sensing payload development, satellite remote sensing data application, satellite internet of things communications and other fields, bringing together more than 120 industrial chain companies, and the entire aerospace information industry chain has been basically constructed.

"we plan to build the airsat constellation system consisting of 19 sar and 2 optical remote sensing satellites by around 2026, so as to achieve high-resolution all-day, all-weather and hourly revisits of any target in the world," said yang zhigao, general manager of china science satellite (anhui) data technology co., ltd. "for example, after the constellation is built, hefei can be observed every 2 hours."

"hefei has the 'innovation magnetic field' that aerospace information companies yearn for." shao zongyu, party secretary and president of china science star map co., ltd., told reporters that in the three years since its cooperation with hefei, china science star map has successively settled 8 subsidiaries, established a team of nearly 1,000 people, and released more than 10 digital earth products. hefei has become one of the management headquarters of china science star map.

data shows that in two years, hefei's key aerospace information enterprises have obtained a total of about 300 patent authorizations and applied for about 540 patents.

thousands of ships are competing on the new track, and hefei quantum is leading the way. yunfei road in hefei high-tech zone, also known as "quantum avenue", is densely populated with a number of backbone enterprises in the quantum field, and an emerging quantum industry cluster is accelerating its formation.

kust guodun quantum technology co., ltd. is the first company in china to engage in the industrialization of quantum information technology. according to tang shibiao, vice president of kust guodun quantum, in the field of quantum communication, the company's products are deployed in backbone networks, metropolitan area networks and industry access networks such as the beijing-shanghai trunk line of quantum secure communication and the hefei quantum metropolitan area network; in the field of quantum computing, the company participated in the development of the "zu chongzhi" series of superconducting quantum computers and has become one of the few companies in the world that can provide complete superconducting quantum computing solutions. as of july 2024, kust guodun quantum has 550 authorized patents at home and abroad, and the number of patents in the same family in the field of quantum communication ranks first in the world.

at present, hefei has gathered 66 upstream and downstream enterprises in the quantum industry chain, ranking first in the country, and the number of patents related to the quantum information industry ranks among the top in the country. "let the technology be used", in hefei, major industrialization achievements of quantum information are constantly emerging, and a number of practical quantum security applications such as "quantum secret talk" are accelerating towards the lives of citizens.
