CCTV News: At the beginning of the new year, major projects and major projects in various places continue to refresh the "progress bar", setting off a wave of production and production, and press the "start button" for development. From digital infrastructure to people's livelihood projects, from transportation hubs to energy bases, batches of major projects press the "fast forward button".

In 2025, Beijing will focus on promoting 100 major scientific and technological innovation and modern industrial projects, 100 major infrastructure projects and 100 major improvement projects for people's livelihood, and use major projects to drive the expansion of effective investment, with a total investment of about 1.4 trillion yuan.

The Shanghai Development and Reform Commission announced the list of major projects in Shanghai in 2025, showing that 186 major projects are planned to be arranged, with a planned investment of 240 billion yuan, covering multiple fields such as science and technology industry, social livelihood, ecological civilization construction, urban infrastructure, urban-rural integration and rural revitalization.

In Langfang, Hebei, at the construction site of the Langfang Runze Artificial Intelligence Application Center project of the national key project, workers are stepping up internal decoration and park road construction. The main structure of the building with a total construction area of ​​about 220,000 square meters has been capped six months ahead of schedule. It will be officially put into operation in the second quarter of this year, and after completion, it can gather an advanced intelligent computing center with a capacity of more than 100,000 calories.

Behind the "progress bar" of major projects is the "two-way rushing" of people's livelihood temperature and development speed.

In the Bohai Sea, the liquefied natural gas terminal that was put into production not long ago ushered in the "first ship" of the Lunar New Year, adding to the "confidence" to ensure natural gas supply to the recent cold wave.

As of now, 16 provinces (cities, autonomous regions) across the country have released investment lists related to major engineering projects in 2025. According to statistics, the total number of projects exceeds 13,000, and the total investment amount exceeds 38 trillion yuan. With the gradual implementation and completion of these projects, it will inject new vitality and impetus into my country's economic and social development.

New breakthrough in the new year The world's largest nuclear power rotor forgings is released

At present, China First Hyundai, located in Qiqihar, an old industrial base in Northeast China, has begun to work hard. A calciner over 20 meters high burned, and a nuclear power equipment weighing 700 tons was released. Let’s follow CCTV reporters on site to experience this “national weapon”.

In the forging workshop of major equipment, although there is a biting cold wind of minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius outside the window, the workshop is full of busy and busy scenes. Behind the reporter, the world's largest mass-produced steel ingot forgings is slowly coming out. Its temperature reaches more than 1,200 degrees Celsius. The reporter can feel its rolling heat waves through twenty or thirty meters. It is mainly used to manufacture the rotor, the most critical component of the nuclear power unit. This is also the first nuclear power rotor casting they released this year.

This behemoth is equivalent to the weight of 170 elephants. The difficulty in making it lies in the overall forging. It requires the largest steel ingot, the largest blank weight, and the largest cross-sectional size, and the core technical requirements are very strict. Just like a room of 10 square meters, there is no defect as big as millet grains. The heating process before forging alone requires a high temperature of more than 1,200 degrees Celsius to burn for 3 days. After the oven is released, it must be subjected to repeated forging and pressing of a 15,000-ton giant forging press like kneading dough to ensure that the density of the internal and external materials meets the requirements.

Wang Lizhong, director of the Foundry Processing Office of the First Recast Forging Steel Division of China, said: "Its size is not only reflected in the weight and shape, but more importantly in the internal quality. Just like when we knead dough, it is more difficult to knead it from the inside out to form a uniform material. Now China, First Reach has fully mastered this technology."

Such a giant nuclear power equipment is currently only two companies in the world can produce it, and breakthroughs in key technologies have also ushered in the market's recognition.

Ge Shuyi, director of the production management of China First Heavy Group, said: "This product is currently in short supply, and our orders have been scheduled to 2027. In the new year, we have very full orders in hand. During the Spring Festival, we have been working continuously for production. Since February, we have produced more than 3,000 tons of forgings, a record high."

Through management improvement and process optimization, the product forging cycle has been shortened from the original 45 days to about 30 days, with efficiency increased by 30%, and cost has been greatly reduced.

Ge Shuyi said: "What I am in my hand is the miniature model of the rotor, and it looks like this after the rotor is processed. What we are processing on our machine tool is a blank, and we will turn to here for rough processing. The processing capacity of this product is now 8 in a year, which is the highest in the world."

The north extension emergency water supply project of the first phase of the South-to-North Water Diversion East Line Project has started the 2024-2025 water diversion work

The reporter learned from China South-to-North Water Diversion Group that on February 10, the north extension emergency water supply project of the first phase of the South-to-North Water Diversion East Line Project launched the 2024-2025 water diversion work, and planned to divert 151 million cubic meters of water north of the Yellow River; among which, using the North Extension East Line to transport water, 126 million cubic meters of water were transferred to Hebei and Tianjin.
