This is the real machine emperor! The deepest evaluation of Samsung Galaxy Note 7

It is undeniable that the rapid development of domestic smart phones in recent years has brought a large number of excellent products to users, and the ever-decreasing price is unimaginable in foreign markets. However, with the fierce competition and the maturity of the industry, the shortcomings of domestic mobile phones’ lack of innovation are also exposed: the appearance is strikingly similar, looking at the past public face; The technical specifications are basically the same, and they are all imported from abroad for reassembly … …

Apple iPhone has always been regarded as a representative of innovation that leads the trend, but now it has some heavy steps. The appearance of iPhone 7 has hardly changed, and the functional features are not exciting for the time being. I can only look forward to next year’s iPhone 8… …

Today, the most dynamic in the field of mobile phones is Samsung. In fact, this South Korean giant once lived like a year. The Galaxy S5 era was in a serious crisis, with low sales and plummeting profits. It seems that it will not work soon. However, the "Samsung Republic", which holds the complete industrial chain, fought back. With its strong technical strength and unique innovation ability, it quickly regained new vitality and became more and more energetic.

Today’s Samsung mobile phones, high school and low end are remarkable. Galaxy S and Note series flagship machine always lead the fashion, from design to functional features, which make people shine every time. Galaxy A series focuses on metal and youth elements, Galaxy J series is full of weight in the low-end market, and Galaxy C series China special machine also blows a whirlwind … …

At the beginning of the year, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge were a great success, and they were applauded and well-received. The exquisite appearance and optimized inner features were very attractive. In particular, S7 Edge was rated as the most beautiful mobile phone of the year by a large number of media and users, which not only laid a solid foundation for Samsung mobile phones in 2016, but also greatly inspired Galaxy Note 7.

In particular, the hyperbolic screen has become a unique symbol of Samsung mobile phones. Although domestic mobile phones are also useful, they are only decorative, and Samsung can optimize them from appearance to function.

It is said that Galaxy Note 7 has been prepared in two versions: flat version and curved version, but in the end, Samsung decided to give up the traditional flat screen and concentrate on making curved surfaces, so Galaxy Note 7 can also be called Galaxy Note 7 Edge to a large extent.

In fact, Samsung’s curved screen technology was first tested on Galaxy Note, but only an immature product Galaxy Note Edge similar to the prototype was produced in that year, which was not widely promoted. Later, it was carried forward in the Galaxy S series, and now it is home.

In addition to the curved screen, Galaxy Note 7 can also see the shadow of Galaxy S7 Edge in many hardware configurations and functional designs, including Xiaolong 820/Exynos 8890 processor, expandable storage, 12-megapixel dual-pixel technology camera, IP68 waterproof and dustproof, etc., which can be regarded as the same strain.

This is the real machine emperor! The deepest evaluation of Samsung Galaxy Note 7

Some people say that Samsung is not enterprising, without Snapdragon 821/Exynos 8895 and 6GB of memory, but it is more rational: Is it useful to blindly pursue parameters? Are processors that cannot be mass-produced useful? Is the large memory that can’t fully function useful? Is it worth paying for useless high-end hardware?

In fact, this is the most brilliant place for Samsung compared with domestic mobile phone manufacturers.Instead of blindly pursuing superficiality, we should focus on the innovation of software and hardware technology that can really improve the user experience, including more exquisite design, more powerful S Pen stylus, safer iris recognition, more comprehensive IP68 dustproof and waterproof, fuller TouchWiz system, richer accessories and ecosystem … …

Next, we will slowly feel this charm … …

[Appearance appreciation: the infinite charm of hyperboloids]

Galaxy Note 7 offers four appearance styles of black, gold, silver and blue, and its first three styles in China are called Star Diamond Black, Platinum Light Gold and Coral Blue. Mobile phones with black, gold and silver colors are everywhere, and this Coral Blue has aroused a lot of people’s strong interest as soon as it appeared. The tester we got this time is platinum light gold, which is more suitable for business people.

Nowadays, there are more and more mobile phones equipped with ultra-narrow bezel and 2.5D curved glass. Galaxy Note 7 is better with the design of double-sided curved screen, which has the feeling of borderless whether the screen is off or bright.

The top forehead and bottom chin of the mobile phone are also very capable. Although the iris recognition module is added and there are many openings, the layout is very compact, and the SAMSUNG LOGO is removed from the Bank of China.The screen ratio of the whole machine has reached an astonishing 80.94%, and the visual impact is very shocking.

Although the mobile phone screen is 5.7 inches, it belongs to the ranks of big screens, butThanks to the compact overall design, especially the contraction of the two-sided curved screen, the width is only 73.9 mm, which is the narrowest among Galaxy Note mobile phones in previous dynasties and even narrower than most 5.5-inch mobile phones., including Letv 2 with ID borderless, is 0.3 mm wider than it, even similar to some 5.2-inch mobile phones with larger borders, and ordinary people can easily hold it with one hand.

However, the thickness of 7.9 mm is not ultra-thin, and the weight of 169 grams also has some weight, so I feel a little heavy when I first started, especially when I am used to the iPhone.

The screen is still Samsung’s original Super AMOLED, with bright colors and strong contrast. The resolution of 2560×1440 has also reached Quad HD 2K level (pixels per inch 518PPI), so both the text and the picture are very delicate.

After evaluation by professional organization DisplayMate,This is the best smartphone screen today. It introduces DCI-P3 wide color gamut and cinema mode used on 4K TV, and can support 4K ultra-high-definition content, which is 26% wider than the Rec.709 color gamut commonly used in 2K devices. At the same time, there is a new HDR video mode, also from 4K TV. With video enhancement programs, even non-HDR video can get an extended dynamic range experience similar to HDR.

The peak brightness has reached a record of 1048 nits, and the visibility is good even under strong outdoor light. At the same time, there are also the highest ambient light contrast (228), the highest dynamic contrast and the minimum viewing angle brightness fluctuation (21%).

It is worth mentioning that,It is also the first mobile phone with dual ambient light sensors on the front and back, and its automatic brightness adaptability has been greatly improved.

The screen surface is also covered with Corning Gorilla 5 protective glass, both on the front and back, which is the first time in the industry. It is not only high in strength and anti-damage, but also further protects against falling. There is also an 80% chance of falling to the ground at a height of 1.6 meters.

Look carefully at the curved screen on the side of Galaxy Note 7, its curvature is smaller than that on the Galaxy S7 Edge, but the front and back sides are designed with a symmetrical four-curved surface, which naturally extends with the curvature of the middle frame of the fuselage, making it feel comfortable.

In contrast, the front of the Galaxy S7 Edge has a large curved surface, while the back is basically straight, while the Galaxy S7 is basically the opposite. The front is a flat screen and the back has a large curvature, which will have a certain feel (relatively speaking). Galaxy Note 7 is perfectly integrated.

As for the problem of touching the edge of the screen by mistake, it is a long-standing problem for narrow-border mobile phones, butGalaxy Note 7 has basically been eliminated after adding a new edge anti-misoperation mechanism. No matter whether it is daily holding, side screen operation, opening applications, playing games, or inputting words, it will basically not cause misoperation, and sometimes it is even impossible to intentionally cause misoperation.(Of course, it also has something to do with everyone’s usage habits). This is especially worth studying by domestic manufacturers.

There are actually quite a few openings at the top of the screen, from left to right.Breathing light, iris recognition LED, light sensor, distance sensor, front camera and iris camera.There is also a receiver, but some of it has been hidden, and the layout is reasonable. In addition, the Bank of China has removed the SAMSUNG LOGO, which is not complicated.

If it is a black version, each opening will basically be "invisible", and the overall sense of unity will be more prominent, depending on which style you like.

The oblong Home button is slightly rounder than that on the S7 Edge, but the material is still plexiglass (polymer material), and the same feel and fingerprint identification have not changed.

The back is also covered with Corning Gorilla 5 glass, which is extremely smooth and beautiful, but an annoying problem is that it is easy to be contaminated with fingerprints and stains, and friends who are prone to sweating need special attention.

The back camera is the same as Galaxy S7 Edge, which still protrudes from the fuselage by 0.8mm, which is much better than Note 5 1.7, but not as good as S7 0.46. On the right is an LED flash and a heart rate sensor.

Galaxy Note 7 is not only the first Note series mobile phone with dual curved surface screen, but also the first mobile phone with full symmetry from top to bottom, from left to right and from front to back. The front and rear glass are bent at the same angle and blend with the metal frame to form a seamless round and smooth surface.

There is only one power button on the right side of the fuselage, which is on the upper side. The left hand holds it just corresponding to the index finger position, and the right hand holds it just under the thumb. The volume button on the other side is similar.

Galaxy Note 7 standard charger supports 5V/2A, 9V/1.67A charging specifications, with a maximum power of 15W.This is exactly the same as Galaxy S7 Edge, but it actually hides Samsung’s own AFC fast charging support, up to 12V/2.1A/25W specifications, but you need to buy a charger separately.

There is no wired charger in this evaluation prototype, but only a wireless charger with the same specifications as S7 Edge, but the interface is microUSB, so it is necessary to provide another data cable or use an adapter.

[Performance score: Xiaolong 820+4GB is still the king]

A long time ago, it was rumored that Galaxy Note 7 would be equipped with two new processors, Qualcomm Snapdragon 821/ Samsung Exynos 8895, with a higher frequency than Xiaolong 820/Exynos 8890 and a large memory of 6GB. But in the end, Samsung completely followed the configuration level of Galaxy S7 Edge, or Xiaolong 820/Exynos 8890 and 4GB.

This has disappointed many people, who think that Samsung is not feverish enough, but it is unnecessary to have a fever blindly.On the one hand, Xiaolong 820/Exynos 8890 and 4GB are still flagship standards, and the optimization in place (pay attention to these four words) can fully meet any application requirements, but higher is easy to waste; On the other hand, Snapdragon 821 has just been released. Although Samsung is a VIP-level customer, whether it can fully meet the supply needs to be questioned, and the cost is higher.

In contrast, it is a conscience to increase the storage space from 32GB to 64GB, and it still supports microSD expansion, with a maximum of 256GB.

Ann Bunny scored more than 142,000 points, surpassing any other Xiaolong 820 model and almost 2000 points higher than the previous best one plus three, and its potential was further tapped.When Xiaolong 820 first came out, it was less than 135,000, but now it has been improved by 5% through continuous optimization, which is far more meaningful than directly going to Snapdragon 821.

Samsung has been using UFS 2.0 flash memory for a long time, and has also solved the problem of coexistence with microSD expansion cards.AndroBench measured that continuous reading can reach about 430MB/s, continuous writing exceeds 150MB/s, and random reading is close to 30000 IOPS, all of which are very good, and only random writing is slightly lower than 4000 IOPS.Therefore, it will be slightly slower when writing a lot of small problems, such as installing a larger APP.

[Photo experience: 12 million pixels dual-core world-beater]

Galaxy S7 Edge has successfully leapt to the peak of mobile phone photography. Sony IMX260 1200 megapixel sensor (1.4 micron single pixel/F1.7 aperture /OIS optical image stabilization) cooperates with Sony full pixel dual-core sensing technology from SLR, and the camera effect is outstanding.

However, it continues the specifications of Galaxy S7 Edge, so the imaging effect will still be great, but there will be no new surprises.

The front camera still stays at 5 million pixels, and the sensor model isS5K4E6XXIt has been since Galaxy S6 Edge.

It seems that if you want a better Samsung camera phone, you have to wait for the Galaxy S8 at the beginning of next year. It is said that it will be equipped with a rear dual camera. Samsung will add 12 million pixels and Sony will add 13 million pixels, and the front will eventually increase to 8 million pixels.

Overall, the camera level of Galaxy Note 7 is really superb. 1.4 micron super single pixel, F1.7 large aperture, OIS optical image stabilization, and all-pixel dual-core technology cooperate, focusing is fast and accurate, the photos are colorful, the restoration is accurate, and the white balance is appropriate. It is really a pleasure to look at photos with Super AMOLED screen, and it can also capture more clear details and accurate colors in dark and night scenes, and noise control is also ideal.

IPhone 7 Plus will introduce dual cameras, and it seems that there will be a leap in camera technology. Galaxy Note 7 is so "not enterprising" that its status is likely to be difficult to protect.

[Charging life: it can be faster]

Earlier, it was estimated that the battery capacity of Galaxy Note 7 could reach 4,000 mAh or more, but it was only 3,500mAh in the end. Although it was 500 mAh larger than Note 5, it was 100mAh less than S7 Edge, so it was easy to be stretched if it was used heavily.

The charging/data interface uses USB Type-C for the first time, but there is no official wireless charger with the same interface at present, and the wired charger is still an old version, with the maximum specification of 9V/1.67A=15W(QC2.0), and it needs to purchase a more advanced charger to support 12V/2.1A=25W(QC3.0).

The battery life is first tested by Ann Bunny’s hardware, the first time from 100% to 75%, lasting about 1 hour and 15 minutes, and the second time from 35% to 15%, lasting about 1 hour and 10 minutes. this meansUnder 100% high brightness and continuous high load, Note 7 can last for at least 6 hours, which is not bad.

During the test, the temperature did not exceed 36℃.

Turn on Wi-Fi, 4G network, Bluetooth, the screen brightness is about 60%, adaptive display mode, 2K resolution, the system sets the basic mode, and the battery can last for at least 30 hours according to the usual habits. If the use is not so heavy, combined with appropriate power-saving measures, it is no problem to charge it every two days.

Although there are reports that the battery life of the 820 version of the Galaxy Note 7 is obviously not as good as that of the Exynos 8890 version, it is not so durable in actual use, so you can rest assured.

In addition, the system will automatically monitor power-consuming applications in the background, and remind them in the drop-down notification panel that they can be set to sleep until they are awakened when they are used again.

Power saving mode: The maximum brightness is 90%, and the resolution is reduced to 1080p. Turn on the device performance limit, and automatically turn off the network after turning off the screen for half an hour. This is still very practical, basically has no effect on the experience, and can be used for several hours.

You can customize the time before the application goes to sleep, and remind high-power applications and unstable applications.

In addition, fast charging will cause the fuselage to be significantly hotter, so you can turn it off if you are not in a hurry.

"Features: the more invincible S Pen stylus"

Nowadays, many mobile phones are called Note, but they are too poor in front of the Galaxy Note series as the originator. They only learned the fur function of the big screen, and the real killer S Pen stylus of the Galaxy Note series cannot be cloned.

Worthy of the word perfect! The deepest evaluation of Samsung Galaxy Note 7

The S Pen on Note 7 has been greatly improved. The first isLike the fuselage, IP68 is waterproof and dustproof.This means that even in windy, rainy and snowy weather, while taking a bath and swimming, you can directly draw out your pen to write and draw.

The working principle of S-Pen is based on cutting magnetic field electromagnetic induction, so it is completely unaffected when it is used underwater, and there will be no accidental touch or touch failure. The official claims that it can stay under 1.5 meters of stagnant water for up to 30 minutes.

The problem that the automatic pop-up function fails due to the reverse insertion of the writing pen on Note 5 has also been solved. Now it will get stuck and there will be a crisp prompt sound when it is inserted backwards for a few millimeters, which is too convenient.

Worthy of the word perfect! The deepest evaluation of Samsung Galaxy Note 7

The length of the new stylus is slightly shortened by 1.4 mm to 108.0 mm, whileThe diameter of the nib is reduced from 1.6 mm to 0.7 mm, which can better simulate the actual feel of the signature pen and support more brush styles and color matching effects.

Paradoxically,Its pressure sensing level has doubled to a terrible pressure of 4096, making it more delicate to write.Samsung has repeatedly shown that artists paint with it, and the effect is amazing.

However, after all, I am not a professional. In actual use, I don’t feel too different from Note 5. Anyway, it is quite comfortable.

Worthy of the word perfect! The deepest evaluation of Samsung Galaxy Note 7

The function has also been greatly expanded, which makes S Pen a powerful and unique artifact:

 - Intelligent multi-screenshot: Supports rectangular, oval, lasso (freely selected) shape screenshots, and can also record GIF animations. For example, when playing a video, use S Pen to select some areas to generate GIF animations and share them. The maximum time is 15 seconds, and it supports high and low image quality. After the screenshot is completed, you can draw (easy to add comments), including GIF animation.

1、Quick glance: Create a mini preview window for the current application window, float in the lower right corner of the screen, and S Pen can float on it to view it in full screen. For example, if you are watching a video in full screen and are worried that someone is looking for you on WeChat, you can use the quick browse function to shrink WeChat, and then watch the movie with peace of mind. When there is news on WeChat, S Pen points to the WeChat small window and it will be displayed in full screen. Then you can reply to the message, and then S Pen will return to the small window after leaving it. Don’t drag the small window up and delete it.

 2、translate: S Pen can be translated in real time by hovering over unfamiliar words, supporting text and images (the latter is similar to OCR), and you can also click on the speaker icon to listen to pronunciation. Based on Baidu translation, it supports 38 language recognition and 71 language translation, and the effect is ok. You don’t have to search for words you don’t know.

3、amplify: Because the screen resolution is as high as 2K, and the default system setting text will be relatively small, you can turn on the zoom-in function of the S Pen, hover over the position that needs to be zoomed in, and the mobile phone will automatically zoom in. It can also be used to view the details of the picture without two fingers touching to enlarge it. The magnification ratio can be selected from 150%, 200%, 250% and 300%.

[Features: safer iris recognition]

Note 7 is not the first one to support iris recognition. The first ones to eat crabs are Fujitsu Arrows NX F-04G and Microsoft Lumia 950 series, but they all belong to "non-mainstream" devices and have not caused much waves. It is worth noting that nubia Prague S and ZTE AXON also support the so-called eye pattern recognition, but they are completely different from iris recognition and cannot be compared.

Worthy of the word perfect! The deepest evaluation of Samsung Galaxy Note 7

Iris is a ring-shaped color tissue around the pupil of human eyes, which has rich and different texture patterns. A person’s iris remains unchanged for life after maturity, and it is not affected by diseases inside the eyeball, and it is extremely unique. In theory, the probability of finding two identical irises is 1.2 million, which is lower than that of fingerprints. Therefore, iris is the most accurate and safer of all known biometric technologies.

Iris recognition technology is to scan and image the iris pattern of human eyes by a kind of near infrared light, and then judge the similarity by XOR operation of the pixel bits of the pattern, and separate the iris from the eye image during recognition, and then analyze and compare the features.

Galaxy Note 7 is equipped with an infrared LED and an iris camera, which are located on the left and right sides of the earpiece above the front of the mobile phone, respectively, for iris acquisition and recognition.

Simply put, iris recognition mainly includes three processes:Iris location, iris feature extraction and iris feature recognition.

After the iris recognition function is started, the infrared LED and the iris camera will work together to recognize the position of the iris and the eyelid, then extract the iris region, eliminate the influence of some interference factors (such as the eyelash image on the eyelid), form an independent iris image, and then standardize the analysis, coding and storage of the iris image for subsequent verification.

Like fingerprints, the iris information obtained by Galaxy Note 7 will be encrypted, and even if the mobile phone is lost, no one else can steal it.

The iris recognition sensor of Galaxy Note 7 is invested and developed by Samsung, and the algorithm is self-developed, which is quite mature, and the positioning and recognition speed is quite fast, and it can also be used normally at night because it uses infrared scanning.

There will be a detailed exemption for the first use.

Responsibility statement, including all kinds of environments that are not suitable for iris recognition (the distance is not less than 20 cm/the film can’t be pasted casually/it can’t be used for babies/it can’t be used as medical equipment when there are abnormal symptoms), and problems that affect iris recognition (it can’t be clearly distinguished/the camera or LED is blocked/the lighting conditions change too much/the mobile phone is tilted or moved).

When registering an iris, you need to stay indoors or avoid direct sunlight, take off your glasses and keep a distance of 25-35 cm from the screen, and only one set of iris is supported, that is, two people can’t use it at the same time to protect safety to the maximum extent.

Iris verification can be used for website login, Samsung account and device unlocking. Interestingly, the pattern of iris recognition area can be customized.

Worthy of the word perfect! The deepest evaluation of Samsung Galaxy Note 7

When the screen is off, first press the power button or the Home button to bring up the screen lock interface, and then slide the screen upward, and the iris recognition area will appear at the top of the screen, and the number/pattern password area will appear at the bottom (depending on how you set it). Keep your eyes wide open and aim at the recognition area, and the speed is not slower than that of fingerprints (for safety reasons, screenshots are prohibited in the iris recognition interface).

The recognition speed is very fast. As long as the eyes are aimed at the recognition area, it is almost an instant, and it feels faster than fingerprints.

Of course, it may take a little time to aim your eyes at the recognition area, but it’s good to get used to the operation. Secondly, you can aim your eyes at the recognition area in advance while sliding on the button, so you can open it in seconds.

Note 7 iris recognition requires a wide range of environment. Try to register the pattern with the naked eye in the middle of the night, and then wear glasses during the day or even in the sun. It seems that it is right to take the infrared road.

Worthy of the word perfect! The deepest evaluation of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Worthy of the word perfect! The deepest evaluation of Samsung Galaxy Note 7

When iris recognition is turned off, it will remind you to keep or remove iris data. If you keep it, you need to set a complicated backup password separately. Obviously, Samsung’s security considerations are very thoughtful.

At first glance, iris unlocking is much more troublesome than fingerprint unlocking, but iris recognition is not to replace fingerprints, but a complement, emphasizing safety rather than convenience. In fact, in addition to unlocking and logging in, iris recognition can also be used for secure folder encryption and Samsung Pay smart payment.

Besides, isn’t it cool to unlock and pay at a glance at your mobile phone in a crowded crowd?

[Features: fuller TouchWiz]

In the process of becoming stronger and bigger, Samsung TouchWiz system was once too bloated, complicated in functions and pre-installed. Then Samsung made up its mind and greatly simplified the system, which was widely praised.

On Galaxy Note 7, Samsung didn’t do subtraction blindly, nor did it do addition purely.

Up to now, the trend of Android camp’s flagship every day and the machine king every month is still going crazy, especially domestic manufacturers, who are making every effort to come up with new products, but is it really good to have more? The sense of existence is brushed out, but how many people can catch users at once in the vast sea of machines?

In fact, Samsung has a lot of mobile phone products, but their levels and positioning are relatively clear. The flagship Galaxy S series, the flagship Galaxy Note series with big screen, the mid-to-high-end Galaxy A series, the low-end Galaxy J series and the special Galaxy C series from China all have their own distinct characteristics, which is very convenient for users to choose according to their own needs.

Of course, the Galaxy Note series always attracts the most attention, but this is not because of the luxurious hardware configuration it will use, but also because of Samsung’s unique innovation ability, from design to functional features to the iconic S Pen, which is completely beyond the blind stacking of hardware and lack of differentiation by domestic manufacturers. Many people laughed and said that Galaxy Note is actually just an iOS. Of course, it’s just a different taste, and there is no distinction between good and bad.

There is no doubt that Galaxy Note 7 has become the most comprehensive and powerful big brother Android phone today, and it has also continued the good momentum brought by Galaxy S7 Edge, and the most beautiful mobile phone of the year has successors.

[Spring Festival Civilized Outbound Tour] The ancient cultural city of Malaysia welcomes civilized tourists

  Cctv newsMalaysia is one of the popular destinations for China tourists to travel abroad during the Spring Festival. Malacca, a tourist city on the west coast of Malaysia, welcomed a large number of China guests during the Spring Festival.

  Malacca is an ancient city with a long history and culture, which was listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2008. In recent years, more and more China tourists choose to visit Malacca. According to statistics, the urban area of Malacca receives an average of 1.6 million tourists from China every year, and it will increase to 2 million in 2018.

  Chen Weijian, member of the Working Committee of Malacca Historic City (Jonker Street):In recent years, when China tourists come to Malacca for sightseeing, it can be said that there has been a very obvious improvement. No matter in ensuring the cleanliness and order of the scenic spots, we also give full support to the local rules and respect the rules here, especially in terms of hygiene. China tourists also know that the local scenic spots are also listed as no-smoking areas, so everyone also gives great cooperation.

  At the beginning of the new year, Malaysia has strengthened its control over smoking in public places, such as Jonker Street, the most representative old town in Malacca, where smoking is banned on the whole street.

  Sichuan, China tourists:Smoking this piece, because like my side, I prefer smoking in China, but after coming here, it has no smoking signs in many places, restaurants, public places and hotels, and it is all non-smoking, so we need to pay attention.

  The hospitality of Malaysian people also provides a good travel experience for China tourists.

  Sichuan, China tourists:I prefer the human touch here, because from the airport to our hotel, there are buses and our cars, and the drivers on the way will tell us the story of Malaysia and some history and culture here, which is very suitable in our Sichuan dialect.

  Civilization is not only an act, a culture, but also an attitude. In the tourist season of the Spring Festival, listen to what Beijing’s elder sister said.

  Beijing, China tourists:I think that when you come to any country, you should observe some folk customs and customs of their country. In particular, I think that since Chinese is traveling, so don’t worry. Everything should be slowed down and walked slowly. Sometimes you may have to wait in line, and sometimes you may have to wait for a red light. I think you should do it all, whether you are abroad or in China. You should slow down and enjoy some beautiful scenery and delicious food around us.

  There is an old saying in China that "many people don’t blame you for courtesy". In the streets of Malacca, people say "Hello" and "Thank you" to each other, especially "Happy New Year", which is full of joy and warmth.

  Beijing, China tourists:The people here are very enthusiastic, and I think it is also a very good embodiment of a civilized etiquette to always say "thank you". I learned a "thank you" in Malay.

Xiaomi’s 24Q3 revenue was 92.5 billion yuan, and "the whole ecology of people and cars" helped the brand to a new starting point.

The Paper reporter Mao Wenting

Since the official release of SU7 in December, 2023, Xiaomi Automobile has attracted extensive attention from the market with its outstanding performance and cutting-edge technology configuration. Today, Xiaomi Automobile once again shows its confidence and confidence with bright results.

On November 18th, 2024, Xiaomi Group (HK01810) released its financial report for the third quarter of 2024. In this quarter, the revenue of innovative business segments such as Xiaomi Smart Electric Vehicle reached RMB 9.7 billion, which is steadily approaching the 10 billion mark. At the same time, the gross profit margin also increased to 17.1%, and the loss of bicycles was further reduced.

Only one week ago, on November 13th, Xiaomi SU7 ushered in the smooth roll-off of the 100,000 th vehicle, setting a new record for the new car company to roll off the production line of 100,000 vehicles, and creating a brand milestone moment. It is worth mentioning that under the premise of continuous investment in building cars, Xiaomi’s cash reserves continued to rise instead of falling. As of September 30, 2024, the cash reserves reached RMB 151.6 billion, reaching a new high for enterprises.

Under the guidance of the strategy of "people, cars and homes are all ecological", the synergy between Xiaomi Automobile and other business lines of Xiaomi brand has become increasingly prominent. In this quarter, Xiaomi Group achieved the strongest performance in brand history, with total revenue of RMB 92.5 billion and adjusted net profit of RMB 6.3 billion. Among them, the cumulative sales of Xiaomi 15 series products exceeded 1 million units, and the shipments of Xiaomi air conditioners, Xiaomi refrigerators and Xiaomi washing machines also increased at a high speed. In addition, benefiting from the global share increase and the landing of AI applications, as of September 30, 2024, the number of IoT devices (excluding smartphones, tablets and laptops) connected to Xiaomi AIoT platform reached 861 million, a year-on-year increase of 23.2%.

The new quarterly financial report is not only a report card for Xiaomi, but also a new starting point for the future.

With the unique business model and efficient strategy execution ability built in the past five years, Xiaomi has successfully laid out three core growth curves of personal equipment, household equipment and travel equipment, and thus accumulated excellent overall operation ability and high-quality asset resources. Xiaomi’s ability to cope with internal and external uncertainties is also increasing. Standing at a new starting point, young Xiaomi has an infinite future.

Multi-products push together, and "the whole ecology of people, cars and homes" stands at a new high-end starting point.

The era when international brands dominated the high-end market has passed. Under the background of intensified global competition and rapid changes in market demand, domestic independent brands in the fields of automobiles, mobile phones and household appliances are actively promoting high-end strategies and showing strong growth momentum. Under the push of multiple products, in the third quarter of 2024, Xiaomi’s "people, cars and homes are all ecological" stood at a high-end new starting point, and its business growth was full of vitality.

According to the report of Jielan Road, in 2024, the share of China’s self-owned cars in the market of more than 200,000 yuan increased sharply, especially in the price range of 200,000 yuan to 600,000 yuan, and the share increased by three to four times, and the luxury and ultra-luxury markets also achieved breakthroughs. As a new entrant, Xiaomi Automobile has also gained a foothold in the high-end market.

In particular, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra not only set a new record for the fastest four-door car in New North in October, but also harvested more than 3,680 small orders within 10 minutes of the initial pre-sale at a pre-sale price of 814,900 yuan, which undoubtedly indicates the great potential of Xiaomi Automobile in the high-end market. In this quarter, the delivery volume of Xiaomi SU7 reached 39,790 vehicles, and the monthly production and delivery exceeded 20,000 vehicles, and the loss of bicycles continued to narrow. In 2024, Xiaomi Automobile made every effort to sprint 130,000 delivery targets.

High-end strategy is the only way for Xiaomi to develop. President of Xiaomi GroupLu WeibingIt is emphasized that high-end is based on long-term strategic determination and patience, and continuous investment in core business. The success of Xiaomi mobile phone series 15 once again reflects the return of investment.

Xiaomi 15 series entered the market at a starting price of 4,499 yuan, but achieved a breakthrough in the shipment of 1 million units at a faster speed. During the Double Eleven period, it won the double crown in the price range of 4,000-5,999 yuan. According to third-party data, in the high-end smartphone market of 3,000 yuan and above, the proportion of millet shipments increased by 7.9 percentage points year-on-year to 20.1%, and the market share of the price segment of 4,000-5,000 yuan was as high as 22.6%, which shows that the market recognized the high-end products of Xiaomi mobile phones.

Of course, for consumers, what they are more concerned about is whether they can get matching product functions and service experiences or even exceed expectations in the context of rising prices of high-end brands. Mijia smart home appliances just confirms Xiaomi’s business philosophy of taking users as the center and constantly enhancing its self-developed technical strength.

In October, 2024, Xiaomi dual-zone washing and drying washing machine was released, and its function and mentality innovation hit the hearts of many users. This year’s Double Eleven, 15kg washing and drying of Mijia washing machine was the first in JD.COM. In the third quarter, in terms of shipments, the shipments of Xiaomi air conditioners exceeded 1.7 million units, a year-on-year increase of over 55%; Refrigerator shipments exceeded 810,000 units, a year-on-year increase of over 20%; The shipment of washing machines exceeded 480,000 units, a year-on-year increase of over 50%.

Many head organizations are optimistic about the development prospects of Xiaomi. Bank of China International, China Merchants International and other institutions all believe that under Xiaomi’s "people, cars and homes are all ecological" system, its mobile phone /AIoT basic disk business will continue to be strong, and EV business will grow rapidly. Institutions such as Citigroup and HSBC also gave Xiaomi a "buy" rating. Xiaomi’s performance and user scale are expected to continue to grow at a high speed.

The proportion of female powder has increased, and the user layer has broken the circle to incite new business.

The implementation of the high-end strategy not only promoted the expansion of Xiaomi’s user base, but also quietly changed its user portrait. Xiaomi, once regarded as the exclusive "technology man", is now frequently favored by female users, Apple users and camera enthusiasts, and the multi-user layer breaks the circle to incite new business growth for Xiaomi.

According to official data, as of November 16th, Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, which was released only half a month ago, has been booked by 10% female users. Xiaomi SU7 series is deeply loved by female users because of its two highlights of sun protection and storage, and the actual female users account for over 50%.

With the release of 澎湃 OS 2.0 and its high compatibility with Apple Ecology, Xiaomi is expected to further attract more women and Apple users. According to the data released by Xiaomi Group, more than 56% of the users of Xiaomi SU7 were originally Apple users.

In addition, as the brand’s first small folding screen mobile phone, the proportion of female consumers of MIX Flip small folding mobile phone is as high as 55%, and 32% of them used to be iPhone users. The launch of Xiaomi 15 Diamond Limited Edition and other products has further consolidated its position in the hearts of female users.

Since the official release of Xiaomi MIX Flip in July this year, it has won the love of female consumers with its fashionable flip design and lightweight and portable body. It provides purple and black color choices, which meet the aesthetic needs of different female users. Nowadays, on the social media platform, "Xiaomi small folding bag" has become a hot topic, with social attributes and emotional values overlapping.

In terms of images, Xiaomi Mix Flip also performed well. It is equipped with a pair of 50 million Leica rear cameras, including a main camera and a 2 x telephoto lens, which can capture photos with accurate colors and rich details. According to IDC, a market research organization, in the third quarter of 2024, Xiaomi ranked third in the domestic folding screen mobile phone market, reaching 17.2%. Compared with the previous quarter, the sales of Xiaomi folding screen mobile phone achieved an amazing growth of 1128.6% from the previous quarter.

In 2023, Xiaomi 14 series began to benchmark Apple. As the brand’s latest flagship mobile phone, Xiaomi 14Ultra has also been upgraded again in terms of images. This model is equipped with a top-notch optical system, and the light input is increased by 136%, which is more than twice that of iPhone 15 Pro Max. The high-pixel main camera, ultra-wide angle and telephoto lens equipped with this model all adopt top-level coating technology to reduce dispersion distortion. Combined with precise optical path design, natural high-quality photos can be produced directly, leading the new trend of mobile phone photography.

After the popularity of explosive products is rapidly opened, Xiaomi, as a technology brand that pursues innovation and faces the future, will communicate and talk with multi-user groups from a more open and inclusive perspective, penetrate into consumers’ minds and form a siphon effect, and drive the product marketing strategy of the whole technology industry to update and iterate.

Brand power jumps to a new high and promotes long-term high-quality development.

The past five years have been a link between the preceding and the following five years for Xiaomi. Lu Weibing said, "At the ability level, we have made great efforts to improve our system, process, informationization, organization and talent construction, which has laid a solid foundation for our long-term sustained and high-quality development."

In 2024, Xiaomi successfully ranked 87th in Interbrand’s "Best Brand List in the World in 2024", and continued to win Forbes’ "Best Employer" and "Most Popular Employer for Employees" awards, which indicated that Xiaomi’s brand power was significantly improved around the world. Behind the achievements is the comprehensive progress and deep integration of Xiaomi in many dimensions such as product strength, communication strength and marketing strength.

Xiaomi knows that the product strength of science and technology products comes from continuous R&D investment. In the third quarter of 2024, Xiaomi’s R&D expenditure reached RMB 6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19.9%, and the total number of R&D personnel also increased to 20,436.

Continuous investment in key areas such as AI, OS and chips has brought fruitful results to Xiaomi. The pre-research and release of intelligent chassis technology has laid a solid foundation for the realization of fully automatic driving and promoted the deep integration of Xiaomi’s strategy of "people, cars and homes are all ecological". At the same time, Xiaomi’s intelligent driving technology has also entered a new stage. Xiaomi’s intelligent driving has fully accessed the end-to-end big model and named it HAD. At the end of December 2024, it began to push the pioneer version. As of November 14, 2024, the active rate of Xiaomi’s intelligent driving was over 85%.

Xiaomi Smart Home Appliances’ self-research technology capability is also improving in an all-round way. On October 27th, 2024, Xiaomi Smart Home Appliances Experimental Center was officially unveiled in Wuhan, with a total investment of RMB 120 million.

Xiaomi 澎湃 OS 2 was officially released in October 2024, which brought a brand-new advanced experience to users around the world in terms of basic experience, cross-end Zhilian and AI experience. This is also an important step for Xiaomi to move towards the whole AI ecology.

Xiaomi’s continuous investment in high-end products and the high-end transformation of brand image have won it a wider audience base. In September 2024, the number of monthly active users of Xiaomi reached a new high of 686 million, up 10.1% year-on-year, and the Chinese mainland market also reached 168 million, up 10.6% year-on-year. In terms of communication with users, Xiaomi’s new retail strategy has played a pivotal role.

With the deepening of Xiaomi’s new retail strategy, the online and offline sales channels of Xiaomi noodles have been comprehensively broadened. The cross-selling strategy of products, as well as innovative measures such as the integration of sales and warehouse and packaging have also effectively improved the brand’s marketing ability, making Xiaomi House an important window to attract users and promoting Xiaomi’s pursuit of ultimate benefits and user experience. This year, Xiaomi Home ushered in a large-scale expansion and upgrade, and it is expected to reach 15,000 stores by the end of the year, providing users with more opportunities to contact and experience Xiaomi products.

It is reported that Xiaomi plans to expand Xiaomi Home to 20,000 stores next year, and actively promote the layout of overseas markets, aiming to bring the excellent experience of "people, cars and homes are all ecological" to more consumers around the world. Although this goal is quite challenging, the current science and technology industry is still undergoing great changes and has broad development prospects. Facing the rising opportunity of the times, the young and ambitious Xiaomi is moving towards the goal of "becoming a new generation of hard-core technology leader in the world" and starting a new journey at a more steady pace.

New breakthroughs have been made in major national scientific and technological infrastructure, and a new weapon has been added to the "sea of stars"

CCTV News:One of the major equipment in the second phase of the meridian project of the national major scientific and technological infrastructure "Space Environment Ground Integrated Monitoring Network" — — The interplanetary scintillation monitoring telescope, the IPS telescope, passed the process test successfully on May 10th and was formally built.

IPS telescope, independently developed by China, is the first radio telescope specially used for interplanetary scintillation observation in China. It is led by the National Space Science Center of China Academy of Sciences, and adopts the collaborative joint measurement method of one main station and two auxiliary stations, namely Minggatu main station, Yihe Gaole auxiliary station and RiGen Wu Tara auxiliary station in Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia.

The main station of IPS telescope has the largest parabolic cylindrical radio telescope in China at present, which consists of three parabolic cylindrical antennas with a row length of 140 meters and a width of 40 meters. Its antenna aperture, noise temperature and detection sensitivity are at the international leading level. IPS telescope can capture extremely weak transient radio signals in the universe with high sensitivity in three frequency bands of 327 MHz, 654 MHz and 1400 MHz.

Yan Yihua, a researcher at the National Space Science Center of China Academy of Sciences and deputy chief engineer of the second phase of Meridian Project, said, "It is just a radio telescope. We are radio telescopes, receiving radio signals. Radio signals pass through the interplanetary, causing signal jitter, so it is called flicker. This monitor is to study this flicker. So what is the purpose of studying flicker? We can extract the information on this path through the flicker of the signal. "

Wang Chi, academician of China Academy of Sciences and commander-in-chief of Meridian Project Phase II, said: "Its sensitivity is now at the leading level in the world. After completion, it will provide data support for the key elements of the space environment between the sun and the earth in our country and the space weather forecast. "

IPS telescope will become a sharp weapon to monitor solar activity.

The first IPS telescope in the world was born in Cambridge University, England. It won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1974 because of the discovery of pulsars. It is a landmark equipment in the history of science and technology in the world. What role does the construction of IPS telescope in China play in scientific research?

It is understood that interplanetary space plays a key role in connecting the sun and the earth and is a nonlinear transmission channel of the sun-earth system. By detecting the radio emission of astronomical dense source, IPS telescope can sense the flux flicker signal caused by solar wind turbulence and measure the radial velocity and density change of interplanetary solar wind, so it is an efficient ground-based equipment for daily monitoring of interplanetary space weather.

Yan Yihua, a researcher at the National Space Science Center of China Academy of Sciences and deputy chief engineer of the second phase of Meridian Project, said: "You may have heard of solar storms, and there are often such violent activities on the sun. After this violent activity occurs, it will spread to the earth from the sun, which may have an impact on human high-tech systems. We call it space weather or space disastrous weather. It mainly affects aerospace, satellite navigation and astronauts’ actions in the sky, and may also bring harm to ground systems, such as long-distance power systems and long-distance oil pipelines. Therefore, the purpose of this instrument is mainly to monitor this solar activity. "

According to reports, in the future, IPS telescope will measure the speed of interplanetary solar wind day by day, capture the dynamic propagation process of solar storms in interplanetary space, and provide independent original observation data and quantitative numerical forecast products for China’s interplanetary space weather forecast as soon as possible.

Meridian project will improve the cognitive ability of space environment in China

With the official completion of IPS telescope, the last equipment in the second phase of Meridian Project, the overall project construction of the second phase of Meridian Project is coming to an end. After the first and second phases of Meridian Project are jointly operated, China’s cognitive ability on space environment will be greatly improved. 

Meridian Project is a ground-based observation network for studying space weather. In 2012, the construction of 15 stations in the first phase of the Meridian Project was completed, and the construction of 16 new stations was started in the second phase in August 2019.

Wang Chi, academician of China Academy of Sciences and commander-in-chief of the second phase of Meridian Project, said: "There are 31 stations in total, which constitute a large network-based system for monitoring the whole foundation space environment. After the meridian project is completed, it will also realize the monitoring of a space weather chain from the sun’s atmosphere to interplanetary space to earth space for the first time in the world. "

According to reports, after the meridian project is completed, it will serve China’s space communication and navigation, and carry out research work on some key scientific issues of space physics, and realize end-to-end space environmental monitoring from the sun to the earth for the first time in the world, as well as three-dimensional three-dimensional space environmental elements in the earth space.

Wang Chi said: "In the future, we will carry out comprehensive testing and debugging of the whole system in nearly half a month, and make a series of preparations to meet the national acceptance in September or October this year."

The IAEA expert group will inspect the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on the 15th.

  At around 9: 00 am local time on the 14th, Japan, the expert group of the International Atomic Energy Agency held talks with officials of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan on the issue of Fukushima nuclear sewage discharged into the sea. According to the plan, the expert group of the International Atomic Energy Agency will inspect the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on the 15th and exchange views with Tokyo Electric Power Company and other parties.

  In April 2021, the Japanese government issued the basic policy on sewage treatment of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Since then, the Japanese government has made a request to the International Atomic Energy Agency, hoping that the International Atomic Energy Agency will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the safety of the measures.

  In this assessment, the International Atomic Energy Agency needs to make a series of assessments on the necessity and safety of the sea discharge scheme in the next few years.

  According to reports, in November 2021, members of the International Atomic Energy Agency and its special working group attended the relevant preparatory meeting held in Tokyo, and discussed and reached a consensus on the tasks, technical issues and specific agenda of the investigation team.

  During this visit to Japan, the investigation team of the International Atomic Energy Agency plans to evaluate all aspects of nuclear sewage treatment, the sea discharge plan, relevant data and relevant documents, and investigate whether the follow-up treatment measures of the Fukushima nuclear power plant meet relevant international standards. The proposal of discharging the nuclear sewage into the sea, including the composition of the nuclear sewage, the safety of the discharge process, and the feasibility of monitoring the nuclear polluted water, needs to be evaluated. In addition, in order to ensure public health and environmental safety, it is necessary to evaluate the environmental impact of radiation.

  In response to this investigation, Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, requested the establishment of a special investigation team, including the IAEA secretariat and its members, as well as external experts with different technologies and research expertise who participated in their personal capacity.

  Members of the International Atomic Energy Agency expressed the hope that the assessment work of the investigation team was based on science, objectivity and credibility, and could transmit transparent information to the outside world.

  International experts from Australia, Canada and Marshall Islands were unable to participate in the survey due to various reasons, such as international travel restrictions under the COVID-19 epidemic. They will express their opinions on the relevant situation after the mission. (Headquarters reporter He Xinlei)

Sanya has ensured that the stranded tourists "should return to their homes" and transported nearly 60,000 people.

  BEIJING, Sanya, September 3 (Reporter Wang Xiaobin, Li Yufan) The reporter learned from the press conference held on the 3 rd that since the city entered the "silent" mode in early August, Sanya has transferred nearly 60,000 outbound tourists.

  Affected by the epidemic, tens of thousands of tourists were stranded in Sanya. On August 9th, Sanya set up a special class for "0801" stranded tourists’ return transportation and the guarantee of the exit passage, which was composed of 165 people from 8 departments, and set up tourist transportation headquarters in Sanya Bay, Haitang Bay and Yalong Bay respectively. From August 9 to September 1, Sanya City transported nearly 60,000 outbound tourists in accordance with the principle of "classified policy, batch operation, safety and order, and strict prevention of spillover" to ensure that the stranded tourists should turn around and return.

  In the aspect of cancellation of travel-related orders, Sanya set up a special class for cancellation of orders, and handled the procedures for tourists who cancelled the orders of hotels, air tickets and other travel services due to the epidemic through various channels such as hotline work orders. From August 1 ST to 21 ST, the hotel unsubscribed and transferred to the office to coordinate and complete more than 280 work orders for hotels involved in the epidemic, involving more than 1.2 million yuan; From August 1 ST to 30 th, the special class for air ticket refund and change has handled 321 work orders and 733 air tickets have been refunded and changed, involving a total amount of more than 900,000 yuan.

  Ye Kaizhong, Deputy Secretary-General of Sanya Municipal Government, introduced at the press conference that with the support of big data such as "departure code" and "application for health station", the work class gradually explored a complete set of services and management processes such as departure code application, inter-provincial communication and coordination, airport traffic guarantee and full closed-loop transshipment in stages, from the planned government charter flight to the orderly resumption of commercial flights, to the outlying islands of Haikou port and wharf, and then to moderately liberalize closed-loop transshipment of social vehicles, so as to speed up the return work efficiency of tourists.

  "Under the general requirement of preventing the spillover of the epidemic, we do everything possible to let every tourist who meets the conditions of leaving Qiong return as soon as possible to provide warm-hearted services for stranded tourists." Ye Kaizhong said that it is the unchangeable working aim for Sanya to do its best to provide tourist service. "After the epidemic, we will meet again at the edge of the ends of the earth, and Sanya will always invite you."

Performing in 2020 navy: military training is moving towards actual combat in a solid and in-depth manner

       CCTV News:In 2020, the navy focused on mission training to prepare for war, and solidly carried out basic training based on ability and practical case training based on task. Military training has made deep progress in actual combat year by year, and it has developed by leaps and bounds to informationization. The winning ability and actual combat level of the troops have been significantly improved.

       Recently, Shandong ship has conducted a series of experimental training in a certain sea area of Bohai Sea. This mission adopts the method of multi-module synchronous training, and specializes in subjects such as leaving the dock at night, sailing in narrow waterways, maritime search and rescue, and damage management in battle positions.

       This is the cross-regional maneuver training of Liaoning carrier formation in May this year. The formation consisting of Liaoning ship and several escort ships sailed through the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the South China Sea and the West Pacific Ocean for more than a month, and carried out practical training in various subjects such as formation attack and defense, take-off and landing of J -15 carrier-based fighters, which effectively tested the overall combat capability of the aircraft carrier formation, and effectively improved the information countermeasures and electronic countermeasures capabilities in complex electromagnetic environment.

       With the cross-regional maneuver training of Liaoning ship again and again, the training level of carrier-based aircraft has continuously made new breakthroughs, and the integration ability of ship and aircraft has achieved a new leap. At present, several J -15 carrier-based fighter pilots have obtained the qualification certification for boarding at night, becoming one of the few countries in the world to master the technology of taking off and landing at night for carrier-based fighter pilots.

       In 2020, the newly-listed fleet of 10,000-ton destroyer Nanchang Ship, Chengdu Ship and Datong Ship conducted multi-disciplinary exercises such as attacking the sea, fighting against the sea, air defense and anti-missile, etc. In the continuous days of sea training, the ability of new ships to perform various combat tasks was effectively tested by setting difficult conditions, setting strong opponents, and training live ammunition on the shore day and night.

       Focusing on innovative ways and means to improve the quality and efficiency of training is a useful exploration for the navy to promote the development of actual combat training at all levels in recent years. Not long ago, the naval air force in the Eastern Theater broke the free air combat training mode of the same type of aircraft, and organized two types and three generations of aircraft to conduct free air combat training on the same site for several days in a row, exploring a new training mode of two types and three generations of crew. By mixing aircraft types, we can give full play to the mechanical advantages of each aircraft type and maximize the combat effectiveness of formation. Since the adjustment and formation of the Marine Corps in 2017, taking the opportunity of cross-regional base training and actual combat training on the seashore, the Marine Corps has organized large-scale training for all posts in the whole system by means of mixed training, and has successively gone to training grounds in northern Myanmar, Weibei and western Guangdong for cross-regional actual combat training, which has greatly improved its ability to carry out combat missions in a larger space, a wider region and a more complex environment.

       The naval forces have organized hundreds of actual combat drills such as sea assault, anti-submarine, amphibious, submarine rescue and other opportunities by taking advantage of escort in the open sea and combat readiness patrol. In mid-October this year, the 35th naval escort formation successfully completed the 170-day non-port escort mission. Basic training such as main and auxiliary gun shooting, light weapons shooting, damage control drills and practical training such as rescue of hijacked ships and cooperative anti-piracy between ships and aircraft were carried out, which tested the ability of the formation to carry out diversified tasks under complex conditions.

       From basic training to real case training, from training to actual combat tasks, the People’s Navy has achieved remarkable results in various trainings. Since the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", the naval forces have participated in more than 200 exercises, and divisions and brigades have conducted more than 3,000 mass training competitions, with more than 800,000 officers and men participating in the training. The training intensity, difficulty conditions, confrontation intensity and research depth of the troops have reached a new high.

One drop of water can generate electricity for six times, and the Yangtze River Golden Waterway has become the world’s largest clean energy corridor.

  The mighty Yangtze River, which gathers great rivers and passes through the long gorge, is rich in resources such as hydropower, shipping and fresh water.

  Six large hydropower stations, Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba, Three Gorges and Gezhouba, are arranged from top to bottom along the main stream of the Yangtze River, forming the world’s largest clean energy corridor: spanning more than 1,800 kilometers, with a water level drop of over 900 meters, a total of 110 hydro-generator sets are running in succession, and the vast river brings rolling green electricity.

  Not long ago, the industrial Internet platform was deployed in six cascade hydropower stations, which indicated that the "industrial brain", the world’s largest clean energy corridor, was basically completed, and the operation efficiency, safety and reliability of hydropower stations were greatly improved.

  The cumulative power generation of six cascade hydropower stations has exceeded 3.5 trillion kWh, which is equivalent to saving over 1 billion tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by over 2.8 billion tons. At the same time, cascade reservoirs cooperate with each other, and the benefits of smooth shipping, water resources protection and ecological protection are comprehensively released.

Total installed capacity of 71.695 million kilowatts

  "One drop of water sends 6 times of electricity", and the joint debugging of six reservoirs makes the "green engine" stronger.

  Baihetan Hydropower Station between deep canyons, the concrete hyperbolic arch dam with the maximum dam height of 289 meters is included in the Pentium River. The water flowing down from a height of more than 200 meters drives the runner of the hydro-generator set to rotate, and the unit can generate about 150 kWh of electricity every time it rotates.

  Sixteen million-kilowatt hydro-generator sets of Baihetan Hydropower Station are running at full capacity. Wang Bin, deputy director of the operation department of Baihetan Power Plant of Yangtze River Power, said: "Operators are on duty 24 hours a day, sensors collect data in real time, and the system will automatically give an early warning once the operation indicators are abnormal."

  "The generator set is like a gyro that rotates by water, converting kinetic energy into electrical energy." Kang Yonglin, former deputy director of Baihetan Engineering Construction Department of China Three Gorges Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Three Gorges Group"), said that at the speed of 111 revolutions per minute, the coins standing on it did not move, and the swing of each bearing was less than 0.1 mm during operation … … "The key technologies such as the overall arrangement of units, electromagnetic design, and manufacturing of major components have successively achieved important innovations, which have witnessed the leading position of China Hydropower in the fields of equipment manufacturing, design and installation."

  In December 2022, Baihetan Hydropower Station realized that all units were put into operation to generate electricity. Looking back from Baihetan, this clean energy corridor has witnessed the breakthroughs of hydropower technology in China.

  Gezhouba, which was completed in the 1980s, has a maximum capacity of 170,000 kilowatts per hydro-generator unit. As the largest water control project in the world, the Three Gorges Hydropower Station has overcome the design and manufacturing technology of 700,000 MW units. Subsequently, in Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba and wudongde hydropower station, the single unit capacity of hydro-generator sets has exceeded 770,000, 800,000 and 850,000 kilowatts.

  Upgrading is not a simple addition, and the difficulty coefficient of R&D technology increases geometrically every time. The capacity of a single machine has reached million kilowatts, which is inseparable from the application of a series of new technologies and materials, and the whole industrial chain has been upgraded, such as hydraulic design, generator ventilation and overall design of units. "The million-kilowatt unit has greater head impact, faster rotating speed and higher bearing pressure. The Three Gorges Group has taken the lead in large-scale steel enterprises and developed 800 MPa-class high-strength spiral case steel plates, getting rid of the situation of long-term dependence on imports." Li Haijun, deputy director of the Electromechanical Technology Center of Three Gorges Group, gave an example.

  The total installed capacity of the six cascade hydropower stations is 71.695 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to the installed capacity of the three Gorges hydropower stations, and the energy supply is constantly enhanced, and five of them have become the backbone power stations of "West-to-East Power Transmission".

  "The Yangtze River water passes through six hydropower stations in turn, which is equivalent to one drop of water generating six times of electricity." Kang Yonglin calculated a detailed account: 1 cubic meter of water can produce 0.25 kWh of green electricity through the Three Gorges Hydropower Station; The power generation multiplier effect is realized by the joint dispatching of six reservoirs, and the power generation can reach 2 kWh, and the efficiency is increased to 8 times.

  "The operation and scheduling of giant power stations in the basin involves ‘ Water, machinery and electricity ’ Multiple links, huge scale, changeable time and space, cross-regional and cross-network, complex structure. Cascade hydropower stations bear both peak load and base load, which puts forward higher requirements for long-term safe and stable operation of hydropower. " Tang Zhengyang, deputy director of the Yangtze Power Science and Technology Research Center, said. The industrial Internet platform deeply empowers all business scenarios such as intelligent operation and maintenance, intelligent maintenance, intelligent dispatching and intelligent decision-making, comprehensively improves the intelligent operation and maintenance level of equipment, and helps the digital construction of hydropower stations.

  768 km deepwater reservoir channel

  Release the "golden benefit of golden waterway" to help the Yangtze River freight volume stay ahead.

  The Three Gorges Dam and the double-track five-level ship lock are located on the left bank. In 2023, the safe operation of shiplocks exceeded 11,000 locks and the number of ships passing exceeded 42,000 — — How to operate safely and efficiently when you open the miter gate of about 900 tons for tens of thousands of times and climb the 113-meter water level difference with a thousand-ton ship?

  "The Three Gorges Ship Lock is the largest inland ship lock in the world with the largest number of consecutive stages, the highest water head and the most complicated operating conditions. In operation, we have established mechanisms to ensure smooth shipping." Yang Hua, deputy director of the hub management department of the basin hub operation management center of the Three Gorges Group, said that in order to ensure the safety and reliability of all kinds of construction equipment, the Three Gorges ship lock will be regularly suspended for maintenance. On April 5, 2024, the planned suspension maintenance of the North Line Shiplock of the Three Gorges Project was successfully completed. This is the suspension maintenance with the longest construction period, the heaviest task and the most difficult process connection and coordination since the planned suspension maintenance began in 2012. With the participation of more than 800 people from 16 companies, the upgrading of the industrial control system of the Three Gorges Ship Lock, the overhaul of 12 miter gates and 12 reverse arc gates, and the replacement of 9 sets of oil cylinders were mainly completed within 45 days, which further improved the safety and reliability of the ship lock operation.

  When a ship crosses the Three Gorges, it can not only "climb the stairs" but also "take the elevator". On the right side of the lock is the Three Gorges ship lift. According to Yang Hua, the ship-carrying compartment with a height of 10 meters and a water depth of 3.5 meters can accommodate a 3,000-ton ship, and it can be lifted to the height of nearly 40 floors in just 10 minutes. From January to April this year, the cargo volume of the Three Gorges shiplock exceeded 41.4 million tons, the ship lift operated safely for 1,685 times, and the cargo volume of the ship passing exceeded 1.96 million tons, up by 127.73% year-on-year.

  Xiangjiaba ship lift is the second giant ship lift built in China after the Three Gorges ship lift, and the cargo volume in 2023 increased by 15.51% compared with the previous year. Since the navigation of Gezhouba Shiplock for more than 40 years, the daily average number of locks has increased from 8 to 49. According to the relevant person in charge of the Operation and Management Center of the Three Gorges Group Basin Hub, the Three Gorges, Xiangjiaba and Gezhouba water control hubs have promoted the Yangtze River shipping and economic development along the Yangtze River, helping the Yangtze River freight volume to continue to rank first in the world’s inland rivers.

  Six cascade hydropower stations have formed a 768-kilometer deep-water reservoir channel, and the navigation conditions of the Yangtze River have improved steadily.

  A section of rapids has become a water passage. After the completion of the Three Gorges Project, the maintenance depth of the waterway from Chongqing to Yichang has increased from 2.9 meters to 3.5 meters to 4.5 meters, and the tonnage of ships has increased from 1,000 tons to 5,000 tons. 109 beach hazards, 34 one-way controlled river sections and 12 sections that need to be stranded on the beach between the dam site and Chongqing have been eliminated, and "the river has never sailed at night since ancient times" has become history.

  Ports go from small to large and then to strong. On the Yangtze River waterway in Chongqing, a number of deep-water wharves with a tonnage of more than 5,000 tons have been formed. Ports in the Three Gorges reservoir area, such as Yichang in Hubei, Fuling in Chongqing and Wanzhou, are booming. The advantages of low energy consumption, large transport capacity and low cost of the Yangtze River water transport have been fully exerted, further releasing the "golden benefits of the golden waterway".

  The total storage capacity is 91.9 billion cubic meters

  Form a strategic freshwater resource pool to provide support for water supply, water replenishment and ecological dispatching.

  The Yangtze River Basin is a strategic water source for water resources allocation in China, with an average annual water resource of 995.9 billion cubic meters, accounting for about 36% of the country. Among them, this clean energy corridor forms a cascade reservoir group and a strategic freshwater resource pool with a total storage capacity of 91.9 billion cubic meters.

  The benefit of water supply and water replenishment is remarkable. Li Peng, deputy chief engineer of the Three Gorges Cascade Dispatching of Yangtze Power, said: "We have rationally coordinated the dispatching plan and energy supply requirements, which has provided a guarantee for the comprehensive benefits of water supply, power generation, shipping and ecology."

  Ecological dispatching continued. Fish resources are an important indicator to measure the health of rivers. The orderly increase of the discharge of reservoirs and the slow rise of the water level in river sections can create conditions for natural reproduction of fish. 2023 is the second year that Wudongde, Baihetan, Xiluodu, Xiangjiaba and Three Gorges Reservoir are all included in the scope of ecological dispatching. Relevant units have successively coordinated and organized 12 ecological dispatching experiments in three categories, namely, water temperature adjustment of stratified water intake at the stoplog gate, promotion of the reproduction of fish with sticky eggs by "base load power generation" and promotion of the reproduction of fish with drifting eggs. The world’s largest clean energy corridor has become an ecological protection corridor.

  The scope of ecological regulation is constantly expanding. According to the person in charge of the Yangtze River Water Conservancy Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources, at present, the dispatching objects have expanded from promoting fish reproduction to regulating the water temperature of stratified water intake, preventing water bloom, discharging sand and reducing siltation in the reservoir area, and inhibiting excessive reproduction of submerged plants. The dispatching reservoir has expanded from the Three Gorges Reservoir to the cascade reservoirs in Jinsha River, Yalong River and Hanjiang River basins, which has effectively promoted the water ecological protection and restoration in the Yangtze River basin.

  The relevant person in charge of the Three Gorges Group said that the comprehensive benefits of the world’s largest clean energy corridor will provide strong support for flood control safety, shipping safety, energy safety and ecological safety in the Yangtze River basin at a higher level, in a wider field and in a wider scope, and will continue to help the Yangtze River Economic Belt develop with high quality.
