Awkward! Why does the three-meter height limit gate cross the national highway and violate the two regulations
CCTV News:National Highway 228 from Dandong, Liaoning to Dongxing, Guangxi is the National Highway Network Planning (2013 — One of the 47 north-south vertical lines identified in 2030 runs through dozens of cities in ten provinces. However, recently, some people reported that this national road was blocked by a 3-meter height limit door in Panjin City, Liaoning Province. The height limit of 3 meters means that all large trucks will be impassable. Why is there a height limit gate on the national highway? Our reporter went to the local area to investigate.
Go from Jinzhou, Liaoning Province to Panjin along National Highway 228, pass the Dalinghe Bridge with a total length of more than 2,800 meters, turn left at the bridge head, and a door with a height limit of 3 meters crosses the road. The big trucks passing through here have to make a detour in advance.
The reporter consulted the transportation departments of Panjin and Jinzhou. In fact, there are signposts for height limit doors in both places, but the signposts are about 30 kilometers away from the height limit doors.
The height limit of 3 meters does not hinder ordinary vehicles, but the height of large trucks is generally 3 to 4 meters, which means that all large vehicles must bypass here. The reporter followed the big truck that needed to send the blood from the car to Jinzhou before 10 o’clock that night, and it took more than an hour to detour. Plus the delivery time on the Jingha Expressway, this big truck walked for two and a half hours because of this height limit door.
The 5 km section of the national highway is located in the buffer zone of the national nature reserve.
In 2019, the Ministry of Transport emphasized in the special action to clean up the height and width limit points that it is not allowed to "set up height and width limit facilities on national highways and provincial highways without legal and administrative regulations". In the interview, the reporter learned that the sudden appearance of this 3-meter height limit gate on National Highway 228 is related to the fact that this national highway is located in the local Liaohekou National Nature Reserve.
When the National Highway 228 runs from the height limit gate to Panjin, it enters the Liaohekou National Nature Reserve. The total length of the National Highway in the reserve is 37.7 kilometers, of which about 5.4 kilometers pass through the buffer zone of the reserve.
Hou Jun, deputy director of Panjin Forestry and Wetland Protection Administration: "According to the Regulations on Nature Reserves, generally speaking, except for scientific research, no one can enter the buffer zone."
The reporter learned that this road was built in 1971; In 1988, Liaohekou National Nature Reserve was established; In 1994, the Regulations of People’s Republic of China (PRC) Nature Reserve was promulgated. In other words, there were no relevant regulations when building this section of road; However, after the entry into force of the Regulations on Nature Reserves, vehicles that are not performing scientific research tasks should not enter the buffer zone, otherwise it will violate the Regulations on Nature Reserves.
Hou Jun, deputy director of Panjin Forestry and Wetland Protection Administration, said: "The roads are particularly narrow, and it is very difficult for large trucks to meet each other. If there is a traffic accident, especially if dangerous chemicals vehicles are leaked, it will have a great impact on the biodiversity of the reserve, including key protected animals, such as red-crowned cranes and black-billed gulls."
However, when the site of National Highway 228 was selected in 2015, the local government declared this road passing through Liaohekou National Nature Reserve as a recommended route. Subsequently, this section of the road was incorporated into National Highway 228.
Without EIA procedures, a national highway violates two regulations.
Then, knowing that it violated the Regulations of People’s Republic of China (PRC) Nature Reserve, how did this road get into the national highway through the EIA procedure? Continue to look at the reporter’s investigation.
During the reporter’s investigation, Panjin Municipal Transportation Bureau, Municipal Ecological Environment Bureau and Municipal Forestry and Wetland Protection Administration jointly provided a "Description of the Situation" for this matter, saying: In 2015, when the local site was selected for National Highway 228, there was no other better choice, so this road through the reserve was chosen. The relevant departments told reporters that they could not provide the EIA procedures for this section of the road.
In fact, as early as 2018, in view of the problems existing in this road, Panjin City issued a rectification plan, which promised: "Before the end of 2018, the 5.4-kilometer section of the buffer zone will be restricted first, and large trucks and hazardous chemicals vehicles will be prohibited from passing." This is the 3-meter height limit gate on this national road. However, this practice violates relevant laws and regulations.
At the same time, it is mentioned in the "Description of the Situation" jointly provided by three relevant departments in Panjin City that "at present, the transportation department has begun to promote the relevant work of adjusting the route of National Highway 228." It is planned to come up with an adjustment plan in the near future and report it. After examination and approval, the 228 national highway line will be changed to fundamentally solve this problem. However, there is no clear timetable yet.
Yao Yuan, deputy director of Panjin Transportation Service Center, said: "It is definitely necessary to avoid protected areas in the future and finally achieve long-term stability of highways. Environmental protection is the red line, and safety and smoothness are also the lifeline of our highways."

Country Garden： Another wave of regional presidents left.
Once the bearer of the real estate industry and the originator of high turnover, it is now troubled.
Recently,Country Garden has added a number of shares freeze information.Total number of enterprises whose shares have been executedFreeze equity over 10 billion yuan. In addition, the company also has information such as the executor and the consumption restriction order.
In this regard, Country Garden’s response is:The stock right freeze involves cooperation projects of regional companies.Due to the dispute between Country Garden and the partner in cost calculation and pre-distribution of profits, the partner applied to the court for property preservation. Such disputes are normal commercial disputes, and the court has not yet made a final judgment. The frozen equity value is not the same as the disputed object, and the company is ready to raise an objection to the excessive preservation of the partner.
In addition, in February this year,Ever Credit Limited filed a lawsuit with the Hong Kong High Court on February 27th, 2024.put forwardLiquidation petition against Country Garden, which deals with unpaid term loans with principal of about HK$ 1.6 billion and accrued interest between the petitioner and the company.
To sum up, both partners and debtors are not optimistic about Country Garden.
In fact, Country Garden has been actively promoting in order to cope with changes in the market environment and cope with high debts.
1、continuouslylandStrategic contraction, from 106 regional companies to 21 regional companies now.
2. Layoffs and salary reductions. Every year, we are constantly optimizing and adjusting talents and actively reducing labor costs.
3. sell assets. For example, in August 2023, Country Garden sold 1.29 billion Asian Games Town to China Shipping Real Estate; In January 2024, five projects in Guangzhou were packaged and planned to be sold for 3.818 billion yuan.
4. Give yourself blood transfusion. Yang Huiyan provided 5.5 billion interest-free loans, and it was rumored that private jets were sold to pay off debts.
Of course, although Country Garden has taken a lot of debt repayment measures, it is still a bit of a drop in the bucket for the huge debt of 1.3 trillion yuan.
Many people will question: Country Garden has occupied the first place in the real estate sales list for many years, with sales of 500 billion yuan for many years. For example, Country Garden’s 2019 annual report shows that Country Garden’s operating income reached 485.91 billion yuan, gross profit was about 126.64 billion yuan, and year-on-year net profit was about 61.2 billion yuan. Where did the money go?
I don’t know exactly where I went, but the boss and some senior executives took a lot anyway.
For example, since Country Garden went public, the Yang family has accumulated.Dividends were divided into 42 billion yuan., from Country GardenService dividends exceeded 1.5 billion yuan.. In addition, Yang’s family also receives a high annual salary from Country Garden. For example, in 2021, Yang Guoqiang, his second daughter Yang Huiyan and his third daughter Yang Ziying received an annual salary of 23.728 million yuan, 15.763 million yuan and 24.357 million yuan respectively, totaling 63.848 million yuan. According to statistics, the Yang family has accumulated from Country Garden.The salary is 667 million yuan.
Of course, Country Garden executives are also highly paid, for example, the president.Mo BinIn 2021, the total salary was 190 million yuan, and vice presidentLiang guokun129 million yuan in 2019 and so on.
It also includes regional presidents who used to earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year: former vice president of Country Garden Group and regional president of Jiangsu.Liu senfengIt has been widely reported that he is the first regional president in the history of real estate to get an annual salary of 100 million yuan.
In other words, Country Garden once had 106 regions and 106 regional presidents, not including the vice presidents at the group level and the vice presidents below the regions. These are people with an annual salary of 10 million.
With the regional adjustment and reform of Country Garden, there are only 21 regions from fission to reduction. Many surplus regional presidents, who have connections and backgrounds, are transferred to the group headquarters and other business sectors, and the remaining regions are always reduced to regional vice presidents and regional executive presidents, or marginalized and choose to leave.
I have also written many articles about Country Garden before (there are links related to Country Garden below), and I have also said that the regional presidents of Country Garden have left their jobs one after another.
Recently, I heard that some regional presidents of Country Garden have left.
Xiao Hongzhang: Former President of Country Garden Henan Central Region
Xiao Hongzhang graduated from Hunan University with a bachelor’s degree in architecture. After graduation, he joined Guangdong Architectural Design and Research Institute. In September 2013, he joined Country Garden Group. He first worked for Country Garden Design Institute, then joined Country Garden Real Estate, and served as the regional design director and chief designer in southern Henan. In 2020, Country Garden once again split the region and became the president of central Henan.
Qi Aihong: Former President of Country Garden Inner Mongolia Region
Qi Aihong graduated from Shijiazhuang Institute of Economics with a bachelor’s degree in investment economic management. After graduation, he joined Foshan Dongjian, Evergrande Real Estate, Wanda Real Estate and other companies. In June 2014, he joined Country Garden Group as the general manager of the cost management department of the group, and then transferred to a regional company, successively serving as the regional president of southwest Henan and the regional president of Inner Mongolia. After the regional merger in 2023, he was transferred to Country Garden Kejian Group as the general manager of the company’s marketing and the general manager of the region.
Lan Yi: Former President of Country Garden Huizhou Region
Lan Yi graduated from Southeast University with a bachelor’s degree in engineering management. After graduating in 2007, he joined Country Garden Group, also known as Guan Peisheng of Country Garden. After growing from a civil engineer to a general manager of the project, he began to be independent, and successively served as the executive president of Guangqing District, the general manager of Shaoguan City Company, the president of Shaoguan District, the president of Southwest Sichuan District and the president of Huizhou District.
None of the above three are future leaders, and they all grew up step by step in Country Garden. It can be said that their foundation is still relatively solid.
It is also a hero of the times. At the beginning, Country Garden’s wanton expansion and regional fission were selected by the group as the regional president, which was also a manifestation of its ability.
However, with the deterioration of Country Garden, many people have begun to choose to leave, not because they are disloyal to Country Garden and unwilling to play for it, but because there are really not so many places in Country Garden.
You can have a better choice when you leave Country Garden.
For example, previously reported Country Garden executives teamed up to go to Hailiang Group:
Zhao Ran: Former President of Country Garden Guixi Region, joined Hailiang Group.The assistant president is in charge of the customer center.
Pang Xiaoyun: Former President of Country Garden Zhaoqing Region, joined Hailiang Group as Assistant President.
Zhang Jiansheng: Former President of Country Garden Ningxia Region, joined Hailiang Group as the rotating president of Hailiang Mingkanghui Ecological Agriculture Group.
Zhang Mingzong: Former President of Country Garden in East Anhui, joined Hailiang Group as Assistant President and co-president of Mingjuhui Ecological Agriculture Group.
Peng Long: Former President of Country Garden Southwest Yunnan, joined Hailiang Group as Assistant President of the Group, Assistant President of Shares and Dean of the Research Institute.
With the extinction of Country Garden Group, more and more regional presidents will leave Country Garden, and once thousands of doctors and ten thousand project general managers will also be scattered with the wind.
Although high turnover has brought rich returns in the short term, with the continuous rise of debt, when the bubble bursts, it will be a disaster for both the company and employees.
Seven departments jointly issued a document to protect the legitimate rights and interests of courier groups and promote the construction of rights protection mechanism for courier groups
CCTV News:Seven departments, including the Ministry of Transport, the State Post Bureau, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, jointly issued the Opinions on Doing a Good Job in Safeguarding the Legal Rights and Interests of Courier Groups.
For couriers, they are more concerned about the employment form, wage income and work-related injury insurance of enterprises. At the press conference of the State Post Bureau on the 8th, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that it would promote express delivery companies to participate in social insurance and strengthen labor security supervision.
The "Opinions" proposes to encourage express delivery companies to directly employ workers and increase the proportion of their own employees. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security will intensify labor security supervision and urge express delivery enterprises to employ workers in compliance with laws and regulations.
Yan Liu, Deputy Director of the Labor Relations Department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security:Conclude a labor contract with the hired courier according to law, pay social insurance, pay wages in full and on time, and implement the main responsibility of the employer. Timely investigate and deal with illegal acts such as arrears of wages by express delivery companies, and earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of couriers.
Yan Liu said that the express delivery industry is an industry with flexible employment and high mobility, and the participation rate of social insurance is not high, especially for couriers who suffer from accidents at work. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Social Insurance Law, the Opinions require that for grassroots express outlets with flexible employment and high mobility, work-related injury insurance premiums can be calculated and paid according to the average wage level or turnover ratio of employees in urban units with full caliber in the region, and priority should be given to work-related injury insurance.
Yan Liu, Deputy Director of the Labor Relations Department of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security:This provision improves the calculation and payment method of work-related injury insurance premiums, which is conducive to dispersing the work-related injury risks of express delivery enterprises and strengthening the work-related injury protection of couriers at grassroots outlets.
On the 8th, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions said at the press conference on policy release and interpretation held by the State Post Bureau that it is necessary to actively promote the construction of rights protection mechanism for courier groups and strengthen rights protection and services.
According to the data from the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, at present, ten express delivery enterprises in China have established trade union organizations according to law, and the membership rate of their own employees is over 70%, while the membership rate of employees of labor outsourcing and joining express delivery enterprises is less than 40%. The ACFTU will issue relevant guidance in the near future to organize and stabilize the express workers to the maximum extent, and carry out rights protection and services through organization.
Huang Jingping, Vice Chairman of China National Defense Posts and Telecommunications Union:We actively guide the trade unions of express delivery enterprises to make an offer to the enterprise administration on a regular basis, negotiate on an equal footing and sign a collective contract on the salary and salary increase of express delivery employees and the maintenance of the special rights and interests of female employees. At present, the top ten express delivery companies have established a collective negotiation system.
In addition, ACFTU and occupational skill testing authority, the State Post Bureau, jointly launched a vocational skills competition, and recommended and awarded the May 1st Labor Medal to the players who won the first prize, so as to guide express delivery workers to achieve better development through skill upgrading.

After driving the Volkswagen LaVida, then driving the Nissan Sylphy, it is clear at a glance who is more worthy of starting after comparing the two cars.
In today’s fierce competition in the automobile market, consumers are often faced with the problem of choosing a car that suits them. In the compact car market, and have always been two models of concern. They not only have excellent sales, but also have a certain reputation and good cost performance. So, which of these two cars is more worth starting with? Next, we will compare the appearance, interior, space, power, configuration and safety, and give our suggestions.
Appearance:
From the appearance, both Volkswagen and Nissan Sylphy have simple and atmospheric design styles. Volkswagen LaVida adopts the Volkswagen family-style front face design, with smooth lines, which outline the sense of strength of the car body and give people a sense of stability and solidity as a whole. Nissan Sylphy pays more attention to streamline modeling, and the overall appearance is more dynamic. The designs of the two cars have their own characteristics. Whether it is the pursuit of stability and atmosphere, or the emphasis on fashion and dynamics, consumers can choose according to their own preferences.
Interior:
Entering the car, the interiors of Volkswagen LaVida and Nissan Sylphy are also different. The interior of Volkswagen LaVida is mainly simple and practical, and adopts a large area of straight line shape, which is relatively simple and generous as a whole. The interior of Nissan Sylphy pays more attention to details, and the materials used are relatively more elegant, forming a sense of advanced. The interior design styles of the two cars can be said to be different, and consumers can make choices according to their own pursuit of interior.
Space:
In compact cars, the size of the interior space plays a vital role in ride comfort. Both Volkswagen LaVida and Nissan Sylphy have performed quite well in this respect. Volkswagen LaVida has a spacious interior space, so both front and rear passengers can get a comfortable experience. Nissan Sylphy is even better in terms of space, especially the legroom of the rear passengers is more spacious and the ride feels better. If you pay attention to comfortable space, then Nissan Sylphy may be more suitable for you.
Power:
Power is one of the important indexes to measure the performance of a car. Volkswagen LaVida and Nissan Sylphy also have different performances in terms of power. Volkswagen LaVida is equipped with a 1.6L, which has a smooth power output and is suitable for daily commuting and family cars. While Nissan Sylphy provides more power options, with 1.6L and 1.8L to choose from, with stronger power and more rapid acceleration response. If you have high requirements for the dynamic performance of the car, then Nissan Sylphy may be more suitable for you.
Configuration:
In today’s automobile market, the emergence of various high-tech configurations is dazzling. Volkswagen LaVida and Nissan Sylphy also have certain differences in configuration. Volkswagen LaVida is relatively conservative in configuration, and the configuration provided is relatively simple, but it still has some basic comfort configurations. Nissan Sylphy pays more attention to the richness of configuration and provides a series of intelligent technology configurations, such as automatic parking and panoramic sunroof. If you have high requirements for the configuration of your car, then Nissan Sylphy may be more suitable for you.
Security:
For home users, the safety performance of cars is particularly important. Both Volkswagen LaVida and Nissan Sylphy have excellent performance in safety. They all adopt a series of active security configurations, such as, and so on. At the same time, they are also equipped with multiple, which provides all-round protection for passengers. In terms of safety performance, there is no obvious difference between the two cars.
After comprehensively comparing the appearance, interior, space, power, configuration and safety of Volkswagen LaVida and Nissan Sylphy, we can easily find that these two cars have their own advantages and characteristics. Volkswagen LaVida pays attention to simplicity and stability, which is suitable for consumers who pursue internal and external integration; Nissan Sylphy is more fashionable and dynamic, suitable for consumers who pursue individuality and taste. According to personal preferences and needs to choose, in order to find a more suitable model.
For car owners who already own these two cars, we recommend regular maintenance and maintenance of the vehicles to ensure their long-term good performance and service life. At the same time, according to the specific situation of the vehicle, choose the appropriate driving mode and route to avoid unnecessary faults and accidents during driving.
For consumers who are going to buy these two cars, we suggest that they should make a detailed understanding and comparison before buying a car, understand their own needs and budgets, and then make a choice according to personal preferences and actual conditions. At the same time, it is advisable to consult more senior car owners and auto experts and listen to their suggestions and experiences, so as to make more informed decisions.
After driving LaVida Volkswagen, and then driving Sylphy Nissan, which one is more worth starting depends entirely on personal preferences and needs. Consumers should compare rationally when buying a car and choose a model that suits them, so as to truly enjoy the pleasure and comfort of driving.

＂Black Myth Wukong＂ ＂Soaring Clouds and Fog＂
On August 20, the domestic 3A (high cost, high quality, high volume) stand-alone machine"Black Myth: Wukong" (hereinafter referred to as "Wukong") officially launched and quickly detonated public opinion. 3 days, sales have exceeded 10 million copies.
The agency forecasts that the final sales of "Wukong" will reach 20 million copies, and the final sales will exceed 6 billion yuan. Industry insiders said that the success of "Wukong" will bring new changes to the Chinese market structure.
Domestic 3A stand-alone game milestone
"I thought it would be very popular, but I didn’t expect it to be so popular," said a senior game practitioner. At the end of 2023, at the TGA annual conference known as the "Oscars" of the global game industry, "Wukong" won the attention of the world: against the international top masterpieces, officially set on August 20, 2024.
As of 9 pm on August 23, the total sales of "Wukong" exceeded 10 million copies, and the sales were nearly 3 billion yuan. For the explosion of "Wukong", industry insiders believe that this will bring new changes to the domestic game market.
The most obvious change is in the domestic console game market. Compared with the mobile game market, which has long exceeded 100 billion yuan in scale, console games are much inferior. In the first half of this year, the total sales of the domestic console game market were less than 700 million yuan. The sales of "Wukong" in just three days are four times that.
Industry insiders admit that the development of domestic stand-alone games is facing many challenges. "The popularity rate of host devices is low, and the public is more accustomed to short and fast mobile games, and there is almost no whole time to experience stand-alone games."
In fact, the sales of "Wukong" proved that it far exceeded the concept of "hot game" in the traditional sense. With the popularity of "Wukong", console game stores around the world ushered in a rare "hot-selling frenzy". ShanghaiThe owner of the console game store revealed that sales have increased sharply in recent weeks. "I’m really too busy, so we temporarily hired two helpers."
"This game cannot immediately change the ecology of the domestic game industry, but it may indeed bring some turnaround," said the head of a game manufacturer in Shanghai. "If one day, under the catalysis of a series of popular games, game consoles can develop in China, then the ecology of 3A games can be formed."
Game meets science
As the "crown jewel" of the game industry, the landing of 3A games not only means that the domestic game industry is becoming more mature, but also shows that the development idea of "technology + art" is being recognized by more practitioners.
Behind the 3A game is not only the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, but also the construction of a highly complex game industry production pipeline and the cultivation of talents.
The game producer bluntly said that the difficulty of making domestic 3A games is very high: "Many processes are the first time to explore, and the whole body is affected. Take cutscenes as an example, not only the film scheduling and command, but also the 3D modeling."
For example, a map 3D modeler at a Shanghai-based game company said: "There are a lot of models on a map, and there are potential interaction designs. If you fine-tune the terrain, you have to overturn and redo it."
The "technology content" of "Wukong" is very high. For example, one industry insider said, the special effects shot of the brush writing in the cutscene, "the brush interacts with the paper when writing, and the binding requirements of the model bones are extremely high. In addition, the ink follows the trajectory from deep to shallow, which is’the technology that can ** text ‘."
"Although it is still far from the international top level, it at least gives us hope." Game reviewer Lao Dai believes that under the current technology, the completion of "Wukong" is high enough.
In recent years, more and more domestic game companies have begun to pay attention to the investment and application of technology in games. Liu Wei, chairperson of miHoYo, summed up the company’s development positioning as "science and technology innovation + merchandise". Ma Xiaoyi, senior vice-president of Tencent Group, bluntly said: "Games are not an isolated development industry. Since its birth, it has always been mutually driven and symbiotic with cutting-edge technology." CEO Ding Lei has repeatedly emphasized the importance of scientific research investment, and has disclosed the intensity of R & D investment for several consecutive quarters.
The "Research Report on Game Technology Capability and Technology Value" released by the Game Working Committee of the China Audio and Digital Association shows that 81% of respondents believe that games have promoted the development of AI technology; 91.4% of respondents believe that some technological innovations in the game field have a certain role in promoting the physical field.
The Business Inspiration of "Wukong"
In addition to the hustle and bustle, from a commercial perspective, the popularity of "Wukong" is accidental and irreproducible.
"A stand-alone game is not a good business model," a senior game analyst admitted that betting all your money to develop a 3A game is too risky.
In fact, the "risk-return mismatch" of console games has left some console game makers on thin ice. Take CD Projekt, a well-known Polish game manufacturer, as an example. Its "Witcher" series once made a lot of money, but when "Cyberpunk 2077" was first launched, the game had a poor reputation due to bugs, and the company was once facing huge losses. The game also suffered a single-player development error, resulting in a single-year loss of hundreds of millions of yuan.
Of course, the success of "Wukong" provides two lessons for the industry.
First of all, we need to deepen the "single-point breakthrough" innovation and make good use of "addition and subtraction". In addition to the story and graphics, "Wukong" actually draws a lot from the operation mechanisms of mature games in terms of action combat, such as "Shock Knife", "Energy Storage Chute" and "Skill Plus", and simplifies them. This idea will undoubtedly greatly reduce the threshold for player operation and expand the player group.
Industry insiders believe that when making AAA games, innovation should be based on one point, and mature experience should be borrowed as much as possible in other aspects. In fact, the success of another domestic game, "Yuan God", also lies in this: the game borrows from the Nintendo game "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" in the early big world gameplay, while focusing on "mobile" innovation.
"It’s not good to be innovative everywhere. You have to learn to stand on the shoulders of your predecessors," said one market analyst.
Secondly, capital is essential. 3A game development costs are high, the development cycle is long, and it consumes a lot of resources, which requires a lot of capital. From a global perspective, except for some established 3A game manufacturers, almost all 3A game studios have the support of hardware manufacturers, such as,From a domestic perspective, Tencent and NetEase are the largest "top gifters" in the industry.
"A successful AAA game requires not only capital, but also mature production line experience, publicity and distribution resources. It is impossible for a small team to cover everything, and it needs the support of large capital." A game industry analyst at a brokerage said.
Industry insiders believe that the success of "Wukong" will allow domestic leading game manufacturers to provide more support to small teams with strong technical strength. If the small team can obtain as much capital and resources as possible while maintaining their own independence, it will undoubtedly provide more guarantees for the success of the project.
The world’s first quantum ＂compass＂ has come out, and future navigation is expected to rely on no satellites
Science and Technology Daily, Beijing, November 12 (Reporter **) According to the official website of the British Imperial College of Technology, researchers at the school and M Squared have joined hands to develop the world’s first quantum accelerometer for navigation. This quantum "compass" is an anti-interference navigation device that does not rely on global positioning satellites (GPS) and can determine the exact location of any place on earth.
While most navigation today relies on global satellite positioning systems, including GPS, that send and receive signals from satellites orbiting the Earth, the new quantum accelerometer is a stand-alone system that does not rely on any external signals. This is especially important because satellite signals can be blocked, intercepted, or even sabotaged or attacked, making accurate navigation impossible.
Accelerometers measure changes in the speed of an object over time, and use this change and the object’s starting point to calculate the object’s new location. While accelerometers are found in devices such as mobile phones and laptops, they must be recalibrated frequently and, for navigation, can only work continuously for a few hours at a time.
The team demonstrated the mobile, commercially available quantum accelerometer at the UK’s National Quantum Technology Showcase. It works by measuring the movements of ultracold atoms at extremely low temperatures, close to absolute zero, where they behave in "quantum" ways, like matter and waves. "When atoms are ultracold, we have to use quantum mechanics to describe how they move, which allows us to build devices such as atomic interferometers," said Dr. Joseph Cote, of Imperial College’s Cold Matter Centre.
To make atoms cold enough to detect their properties, powerful lasers that can be precisely controlled are needed. M Squared has spent three years developing a universal laser system for cold atom sensors that features high power, low noise and frequency tunability to cool atoms and provide an optical scale for acceleration measurements.
The researchers point out that the new quantum "compass" is designed to navigate large vehicles, ships, etc., but it can also be used for basic scientific research such as finding dark energy and attractive force waves.
In 2013, quantum research was identified as a priority area by the UK government, with a focus on military technology. Since then, through the UK National Quantum Technology Programme, the UK government has invested ￡270 million in the field over five years.
Editor-in-Chief Circle
Quantum physics has overturned all kinds of common sense in the macroscopic world, and particles with wave-particle duality seem so erratic and mysterious. In fact, many technologies are based on quantum physics, but ordinary people are ignorant. Now, quantum accelerometers based on quantum physics have come out, which do not rely on GPS, and can achieve precise positioning and precise navigation on their own. More than 100 years after the advent of quantum physics, various applications based on quantum technology are also coming to people. Using quantum properties, we may be able to modify and upgrade more devices that are currently widely used, making them simpler and more accurate. Has the era of commercial application of quantum technology begun?
