2. Scientific Breakthroughs

 

The Lifeblood of the People’s Republic of China

Focusing on the 65th anniversary of the discovery of the Daqing Oil field, it showcases the outstanding contributions of geologists, oil scientists and workers to the great accomplishments of China’s petroleum industry, as well as the proactive approaches of our nation in order to achieve Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality.

The Daqing Oil Field is the largest oil field in China. It sets the pace for China’s terrestrial shale oil exploration and development.

The Shenditake-1 Well, a scientific exploration well in the Tarim Basin, is the second deepest onshore well globally and the deepest in Asia.

The Yumen Oil Field 200-megawatt photovoltaic demonstration project was connected to the grid in 2021. The photovoltaic generation capacity of China has been leading the world for 8 years in a row.

Silent Thunder

On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the successful explosion of China's first atomic bomb, the exhibition highlights the remarkable contributions of the scientists behind the “Two Bombs, One Satellite” project, that is, nuclear bombs, missiles and artificial satellites, as well as China’s significant achievements in nuclear technology and aerospace technology.

At the same time as the successful implementation of the "Two Bombs, One Satellite" programme, China had repeatedly issued solemn statements regarding the adoption of the "no-first-use" nuclear policy to ensure that every country enjoys peace, security, stability and prosperity.

Scientists hold an academic debate to break through the theory of atomic bomb.

A Chip-Driven Patriotic Heart

Celebrating the 105th anniversary of the birth of Wu Wenjun and Huang Kun, awardees of the first and second State Preeminent Science and Technology Award, the exhibition focuses on the breakthroughs in chip technology and showcases China’s progress in achieving technological self-reliance and self-strengthening in the fields of AI and semiconductors.

The silicon purity required for chip production needs to reach 99.9999%. High-purity monocrystalline silicon ingots are produced by repeatedly refining materials such as sand and quartz, then shaping or pulling them in a furnace.

Lithography machine is a kind of precision equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing. Its main function is to accurately transfer the designed circuit pattern to the silicon wafer.
