Honest Instructions: On September 26, 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to China First Heavy Group and went to the workshop of the rolling power factory to inspect the production of the enterprise's metallurgical equipment, rotors in the power field, and rolling roller products, and watched the display of nuclear power products such as the domestic nuclear reactor pressure vessel takeover section, Hualong No. 1 evaporator pipe plate and other nuclear power products. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that high-quality development of manufacturing, especially equipment manufacturing, is the top priority of my country's high-quality economic development and is an indispensable part of a modern major country. Now, unilateralism and trade protectionism in the international community are on the rise, and we must adhere to the path of self-reliance. If China wants to develop, it ultimately depends on itself.

The morning sun always gives people a feeling of vitality. Nie Yihong, general manager of the Science and Technology Department of China First Heavy Group Co., Ltd., faced Chaoyang and came to the conference room early to prepare for a regular department work meeting. After being promoted to general manager in 2018, she has been planning and implementing the company's technological innovation at all times.

Outside an old-fashioned building in China's first heavy factory area, the two plaques, "National Engineering Research Center for Heavy Technical Equipment" and " National Energy Major Equipment Materials R&D Center for ", are particularly conspicuous, and 12 blue characters "Innovation achieves dreams, technology leads the future" are printed on the wall.

, born in 1977, Nie Yihong has been engaged in metal material research during his studies, and has worked in doctoral and postdoctoral research at the top Iron and Steel Research Institute and the National Institute of Material Materials (NIMS). In 2010, she returned to China and chose China First High School. Why did you make such a choice? "When I returned to China for inspection, a leader from the First Session told me that the historical status and responsibility here are irreplaceable. We have many scientific research projects that countries need to do. As long as you have the ability, there will be a steady stream of projects waiting for you." Nie Yihong said.

In this way, 33-year-old Nie Yihong served as chief researcher at the Tianjin Energy Equipment Materials Research Institute of China First Hierarchy. From independent research and development to leading the team to overcome difficulties, he has gradually reached the current position of general manager of the Science and Technology Department.

Looking back on the past 12 years, Nie Yihong said: "We have always adhered to the path of technological innovation, but we have also been confused and questioned." Once upon a time, when China First High School encountered business difficulties, voices such as whether as a manufacturer needs research institutions. After the new leadership team took office, they implemented a series of reforms drastically, adhering to the principle of "emancipating the mind, changing concepts, and changing work style", and permeating the word "change" throughout the entire process of emancipating the mind and economic operation, using the "change" of thought to lead the "change" of behavior and using the "change" of behavior to leverage the "change" of development.

In 2018, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed to take the path of self-reliance when inspecting the First Session of China. If you want to take the path of self-reliance, you must be guided by scientific and technological innovation. Since then, China First Heavy has increased its investment in science and technology research and development, from 395 million yuan to 957 million yuan in 2021, with an average annual growth of more than 20%.

"In the past, we have always followed imitation innovation. Now we have to do what we don't have abroad. We have always stood on the front line of breaking foreign technology monopoly and product monopoly, and achieved a leap from 0 to 1 in our series of major technical equipment." Nie Yihong said proudly.

In the four years since Nie Yihong was the general manager of the Science and Technology Department, China First Heavy Industry Corporation has successively completed the national demonstration projects "CAP1400" and "Hualong No. 1" nuclear reactor pressure vessel manufacturing tasks, successfully providing a full set of forgings for the main pipeline "Hualong No. 1", achieving a breakthrough in the engineering of hollow forging process of independent development of the main pipeline, and realizing the domestic production of my country's third-generation nuclear power nuclear island first circuit main equipment and the main large forgings of conventional islands. The company pioneered the extrusion technology of large-scale nickel-based alloy forgings forgings of 700℃, achieving an original breakthrough in cutting-edge leading technologies.At the same time, the company independently developed the world's largest single 3025-ton slurry bed forged and welded hydrogenation reactor , once again setting a world manufacturing record. It has successively conquered 19 key technologies such as the engineering research of the new generation of nuclear pressure vessel steel (508-Ⅳ steel), and broke the foreign technology monopoly 21 major scientific and technological achievements, including high-efficiency thin-spec stainless steel hot rolling production line technology.

The interview ended, and walked out of this small building that led China's first scientific and technological innovation. The slogan " Science and Technology is the first productive force " is particularly eye-catching.

"Key core technologies and products cannot be bought, so we can create whatever is lacking." China's first level is constantly improving its innovation capabilities around major national strategic needs and high-end market supply. Nie Yihong said that she felt a great responsibility for this.
