Xinhua News Agency reporters Jiang Yi, Li Like and Zhao Yufei
"Using hydraulic climbing die technology, the construction progress of the bridge body exceeded expectations." On the 27th, at the construction site of the Luzhou Tuojiang Special Bridge, an important control project of the Yukun-Kunming high-speed railway, Yan Mingsai, executive deputy commander of the bidding section from the Fourth Bureau of China Railway, was directing the construction. In order not to affect the ecology of the Tuojiang River, the main span of this bridge will cross the Tuojiang River as a whole, which poses a great challenge to the project.
The reporter recently visited Sichuan and Chongqing and saw that from the construction of transportation infrastructure to the exchange of talents, the two places are mustering up their enthusiasm to promote the implementation of the "Outline of the Planning for the Construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing Region".
- Traffic flows bring interactive flows. The straight-line distance from Chengdu to Chongqing is about 266 kilometers, and a convenient and fast three-dimensional transportation network is indispensable to form a two-way interaction.
"The Yukun-Kunming high-speed railway will effectively connect the southern Sichuan and western Yuxi regions, and after the opening of the traffic, the time from Luzhou in Sichuan to Chongqing will be shortened to half an hour." Yan Mingsai said. Just upstream of the Yukun-Kunming High-speed Railway Luzhou Tuojiang Special Bridge, the Luzhou Tuojiang Railway Special Bridge has also started, as an important project of the Longhuang Railway, this bridge will become part of the new land and sea corridor in the west, making the opening up of the Chengdu-Chongqing area more smooth.
Changes in traffic are not limited to bridges. On the Yangtze River, the water shuttle bus transports goods from Yibin Port and Luzhou Port in Sichuan to Chongqing Jiangjin Luohuang Port, and ships with Chongqing to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Tang Weidong, deputy director of the management committee of Chongqing Jiangjin Comprehensive Insurance Zone, described the fiery scene of freight transport between the two places with "full horsepower cannot meet the demand", "We are protecting customers in Sichuan and Chongqing in a variety of ways by playing the bonded function of the comprehensive insurance zone." ”
-- The layout of industrial cooperation is more reasonable. "The power battery can be transported to the vehicle factory in Chengdu or Chongqing within 3 hours, and Yibin's abundant hydropower resources can meet the requirements of emission reduction and carbon reduction, and realize the carbon neutrality of the whole life cycle of the power battery." Located in Yibin Sichuan Times power battery project workshop, the power battery required for new energy vehicles is in full horsepower production, Sichuan Times General Manager Special Assistant Yang Weiping introduced, the project by Ningde Times investment of more than 30 billion yuan construction, will provide a guarantee for the development of the new energy automobile industry in the Chengdu-Chongqing area twin cities economic circle.
In addition to layout collaboration, more forms of cooperation are also unfolding. "We are responsible for drug innovation and research and development, and Chongqing Huasen Pharmaceutical is responsible for capital operation and production." In the Orrick Pharmaceutical Laboratory in Chengdu High-tech Zone, a number of new drugs are being developed, and Huang Qi, CEO of the company, told reporters that through equity cooperation, the cooperation between the two companies has been deepening.
-- Talent cultivation shows a new gravitational force. Located in the Yongchuan base of Great Wall Motor in Chongqing's Yongchuan District, SUV and pickup trucks continue to roll off the production line, and behind the annual production capacity of 250,000 vehicles is the hard work of tens of thousands of employees. The development of local vocational education is one of the reasons why enterprises choose Yongchuan. At present, there are 17 colleges and universities in Yongchuan District, with 144,000 students, providing a steady stream of skilled talents for enterprises.
At the Chongqing Intelligent Engineering Vocational College, also located in Yongchuan, Huawei chose to place the Huawei (Yongchuan) Joint Technology Innovation Center on campus. "Students can learn courses such as 5G base station construction and Hongmeng system programming application in school, so that students can achieve 'seamless docking' from school to enterprise." Cheng Qian, executive principal of Chongqing Intelligent Engineering Vocational College, said.
In the first three quarters of this year, Chongqing's GDP was 1,995.189 billion yuan, an increase of 9.9% year-on-year; Sichuan's GDP was 3,899.866 billion yuan, an increase of 9.3% year-on-year. (Contributors: Yang Di, Liu Enli)
