CCTV News: The reporter learned from the National Development and Reform Commission that this year, the state has arranged 200 billion yuan of super-long-term special treasury bonds to support equipment renewal, an increase of 50 billion yuan from last year. While the amount of funds increases, the scope of support is also expanding. Electronic information, facility agriculture, production safety, grain and oil processing, etc. are newly expanded equipment update support areas. At present, policy details in various fields are being implemented at a faster pace.

In the field of electronic information, driven by the accelerated application of AI models such as DeepSeek, some server manufacturers are stepping up the update of production line equipment to produce AI servers with current surge in orders.

In the fields of industry, transportation, etc., equipment updates and implementation are more extensive, with a more detailed standard. For example, the transportation field recently launched a new round of equipment updates to support the scrapping update of operating trucks in the National III and National IV emission standards. In Luohe, Henan, you can enjoy a maximum of 95,000 yuan subsidy funds for scrapped old operating trucks or purchase new cars on the basis of scrapping. In addition, the local area also has an annual operating subsidy of up to 15,000 yuan for new energy trucks.

Facilities agriculture is accelerating the update of new logistics equipment to help spring farming

Facilities agriculture is one of the areas for equipment renewal and expansion this year, including supporting the use of new logistics and transportation equipment in the shed. With the arrival of spring plowing, the newly invested intelligent logistics equipment has brought new changes to the seedling cultivation process.

In this intelligent darkroom seedling cultivation factory in Heilongjiang, a brand new pallet forklift system was put into use during this spring plowing season, which can achieve unmanned seedling transportation.

Transport, stack, loading and unloading, one person can complete it with the movement of his finger.

This year, an intelligent inspection robot will be introduced here to check the growth of seedlings in the shed.

Wang Runze, head of Qixing Farm Intelligent Seedling Plant, said: "The intelligent seedling plant after the equipment is upgraded is expected to improve operating efficiency by 20%, reduce labor costs by 15%, improve the neatness of seedlings, and provide strong guarantees for spring farming production to reduce costs and increase efficiency, improve quality and increase production."

New semester scientific research equipment is available to promote the transformation of results

This year's equipment update in the scientific research field is also a focus, with a larger amount of funds and a wider coverage than last year. The new semester in the spring starts, and a batch of high-end and sophisticated scientific research instruments are intensively launched in university laboratories.

Walking into the advanced micro-nano processing and testing platform of West Lake University in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, the reporter saw that scientific researchers are developing a new generation of AR glasses lenses, with a single piece weighing only 2.7 grams and a thickness of only 0.55 mm.

The nano-order optical structure in lenses requires extremely high processing accuracy. Therefore, a key step in research and development is to scan and inspect the internal structure of the lenses. This brand new multi-electron beam scanning electron microscope just arrived in the laboratory not long ago.

At present, in the equipment renewal projects of West Lake University, high-value scientific research instruments account for more than 60%, focusing on cutting-edge interdisciplinary disciplines and future industries, and super-long-term special treasury bonds and provincial and municipal supporting funds have been in place one after another.

Shi Yi, President of West Lake University and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said: "Recently new equipment is mainly concentrated in the update projects of astronomical big data and artificial intelligence platform equipment, as well as the equipment update projects of the Clinical Medical Research Center. In the past, it may take 3 or even 5 years from basic research to the transformation of results to the establishment of a company. With the support of the update equipment, this period of time has been shortened, which may be one or two years or even several months."
