This Chinese New Year, the release of the Chinese science fiction film "Wandering Earth 2" has sparked much discussion. A series of visual spectacles such as the "space lift", the thrilling "aerial battle" and the galloping "engineering machinery" were intensively put into the film, bringing a feast of virtual and A series of visual spectacles such as "space elevator", "aerial battle", "engineering machinery", etc., are intensively released, bringing a feast of virtual and realistic on the same screen, resonating with literature and heavy equipment.
Technology is the foundation of science fiction, and science fiction is the future of technology. Many of the UEG Earth government machinery and equipment in the film, which can be driven, operated and deformed, come from the Chinese construction machinery enterprise - XCMG.
For example, the XCMG ET120, a multi-terrain intelligent emergency rescue platform with four legs, is a real-life "steel mantis" that can go up and down mountains and seas. "With 18 hydraulic cylinders, the ET120 is able to walk smoothly in complex terrain such as mountains, swamps and tunnels, and can be equipped with different working tools to achieve a variety of operational functions such as fire-fighting, logging, cutting and piling, etc. It is suitable for post-disaster rescue and relief after avalanches, earthquakes, landslides and weirs, and can even perform in extreme environments such as 4500m high altitude and -40 degrees Celsius.
The AGV driverless transport robots featured in the film are also widely used in construction sites such as ports, roads and urban construction, so the dazzling driverless, artificial intelligence and other "future new products" are no longer a figment of the imagination.
In fact, as early as 2018, XCMG's first driverless construction dump truck made its debut at Bauma CHINA; at the 2020 exhibition, XCMG's first driverless excavator and the second generation of driverless road roller made a new appearance. Unmanned and intelligent products have become the track that major manufacturers are focusing on developing.
"You can imagine it, we are responsible for making it happen!" So shouted CNNC. It is in this wall of steel and iron that I can see that Made in China is realising real science fiction.
Just like the Chinese science fiction film market, which has gone from being dominated by Hollywood to finally having a place of its own today. The progress made by Chinese science fiction films is quite similar to the development of Chinese construction machinery.
In the field of construction machinery, at least 30 years ago, China is still "small transparent", while the foreign high-end players are mainly the United States, Germany, Japan, etc., they not only occupy the majority of the market, but also blocked the relevant technology, especially in the core components, in the higher technology content of high-end product development, we suffer from The pain of "stuck neck".
From the introduction and absorption of product technology from abroad, to imitation and innovation of independent research and development, and then to master the key technology, and finally to achieve a number of core technology original, XCMG as the representative of China's construction machinery for decades, to achieve leapfrog development, the formation of a cutting-edge global collaborative R & D system, opened from obscurity to the global top three breakthrough.
Behind Chinese science fiction is the ability of Chinese manufacturing, and the bottom line of Chinese science fiction comes from the strength of big national heavy machinery.
