On the construction site of the park, construction workers shed sweat; In the laboratory, breeding scientists discuss seed industry innovation; In Nanshan Port, a 10,000-ton general berth has been completed and put into use … … In Sanya City, Hainan Province, there is a scene of innovation and hard work along Yazhou Bay in summer. This is the southernmost science and technology innovation park in China — — Sanya Yazhouwan Science and Technology City is also the main position of Hainan seed industry and deep-sea scientific and technological innovation.

The reporter recently saw in Yazhouwan Science and Technology City that all kinds of experimental crops are growing in the breeding base; After the delivery of the public platform for deep-sea scientific and technological innovation, a number of scientific research and experimental projects are preparing to be launched. Once a "barren island", it has now become a new science and technology city with tower cranes and scientific research platforms and industrial projects.
Since the official start of construction in 2019, Nanfan Seed Industry and Deep Sea Science and Technology have been the "key variables" of Yazhouwan Science and Technology City’s strategy of serving the country with science and technology.
Under the intelligent management and protection system, there is no need to worry about field management such as planting, digging and drainage; With the help of digital breeding equipment, the growth cycle data of each seed can be monitored in the whole process. In the breeding base of Yazhouwan Science and Technology City in Sanya, the scientific and technological strength is being released in the process of manufacturing agricultural "chips".
Xia Mian, head of the cooperation and exchange department of Yazhouwan Seed Laboratory in Sanya, told the reporter: "The park is implementing ‘ Reveal the list ’ Project, carry out joint research on key technologies of seed industry innovation, and build a national ‘ Nanfan Silicon Valley ’ 。”

From the land to the sea, Nanshan Port, Yazhouwan Science and Technology City, which is close to the South China Sea, has unique geographical conditions to carry out deep-sea scientific research, and also shoulders the mission of accelerating the construction of deep-sea scientific research and technology system and helping the construction of a maritime power.
"Nanshan Port, which has a 10,000-ton general berth, has now extended its coastline to about 400 meters. The scientific research terminal project is also building port facilities such as scientific research berths. " The staff of Sanya Nanshan Port Terminal Co., Ltd. introduced, "Since Nanshan Port built its home port for scientific research, it has served more than 700 scientific research voyages, and nearly 40 scientific research units across the country have sailed from Nanshan Port to the distant sea to conduct research."

Making good use of the "depth" advantage of the South China Sea, Yazhouwan Science and Technology City has built a deep-sea technology innovation center in Hainan Province, accelerated the construction of Sanya deep-sea compound resource center, started the preparation of a national deep-sea comprehensive experimental site, and started a number of innovative research and development projects one after another.
Nowadays, a high-standard, open and shared "seed industry+deep sea" technology innovation platform cluster is gradually taking shape in Yazhouwan Science and Technology City, Sanya. A set of data can explain the problem: the scale of all kinds of scientific and technological innovation carrier buildings that have been built or under construction exceeds 600,000 square meters, 16 public technical service platforms have been built, 9,649 registered enterprises and 19 scientific research institutes have been stationed.
Wei Li, a postdoctoral fellow at Sanya Institute of Oceanography, China Ocean University, marveled at the great changes in the park: "It used to be ‘ The door is empty ’ , now ‘ A bustling city ’ 。”
"In order to attract talents from all directions, we set up ‘ Intelligence introduction team ’ Recruiting talents from outside the island, we also set up scientific research innovation fund projects and launched innovative measures such as talent value-added services. " Niu Jingjing, full-time deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Sanya Yazhouwan Science and Technology City Administration Bureau, said that by the end of February this year, the park had identified 1,102 imported talents and the number of employed people reached 24,300. "The siphon effect of talents is obvious."
By gathering innovative factors, Yazhouwan Science and Technology City gradually transforms the "key variable" of science and technology into the "maximum increment" of high-quality industrial development, and realizes the leap from "1 to N".
The reporter observed that in recent years, the park has accelerated the layout of the entire seed industry chain of "front-end testing, field service, laboratory management, achievement transformation and income generation", while cultivating deep-sea science and technology industries such as key small piece manufacturing and equipment testing, deep-sea biological resources and new energy, and new material development.

"The park has built a benign industrial cycle from basic scientific research and achievements transformation to enterprise incubation. We have also set up five park funds to provide long-term and stable funds for industrial development. " Wu Jingxuan, head of the Industrial Promotion Department of Sanya Yazhouwan Science and Technology City Administration, said. By the end of March 2023, Yazhouwan Science and Technology City had completed a total investment in fixed assets of about 59.826 billion yuan. (Reporter Chen Kaizi)
