Zhu Yunlong of the Ninth Courtyard of CSSC: There is no sunset industry, only sunset technology

Journalist Wang Sun

"There is no so-called sunset industry, only sunset technology, and the same is true of the shipbuilding industry." Zhu Yunlong, deputy general manager of CSSC Ninth Design and Research Institute Engineering Co., Ltd., said that the shipbuilding industry still has a lot of room for technological improvement. As a pioneer in the field of domestic shipbuilding engineering construction, CSSC Ninth Academy needs to actively adapt to the general trend of intelligent manufacturing, from attaching importance to "research on shipbuilding hardware facilities" to attaching importance to "combining software and hardware research", and from mainly focusing on improving shipbuilding capacity to paying more attention to improving shipbuilding efficiency.

As the person in charge of science and technology work of CSSC Ninth Academy, Zhu Yunlong felt great pressure. He believes that in order to achieve the goal of "science and technology leading the future and innovation-driven development", first, we must accelerate the transformation of the development mode of enterprises and transform scientific research results into productive forces as soon as possible; second, we must continuously learn emerging science and technology, and explore and master the objective laws of scientific and technological innovation in practice; third, we must more fully stimulate the enthusiasm for innovation of scientific and technological personnel, and contribute wisdom and strength to the transformation and upgrading of enterprises.

Combined with the actual scientific and technological business of CSSC Ninth Academy, Zhu Yunlong said that there is no so-called sunset industry, only sunset technology, and the shipbuilding industry is the same. At present, the shipbuilding industry has serious overcapacity, so some people say: CSSC Ninth Academy has built shipyards for future generations, and there is no future in the future. In fact, the shipbuilding industry still has a lot of room for technological improvement. As a pioneer in the field of domestic shipbuilding engineering construction, CSSC Ninth Academy needs to actively adapt to the general trend of intelligent manufacturing, from attaching importance to "research on shipbuilding hardware facilities" to attaching importance to "combining software and hardware research", and from mainly focusing on improving shipbuilding capacity to paying more attention to improving shipbuilding efficiency. To this end, CSSC Ninth Academy will combine its own products, technologies and services, according to the needs of users, continuously improve scientific research work, and constantly strengthen scientific and technological innovation, so as to continuously enhance market competitiveness.

There is no shortcut to scientific research, nor can it overtake in curves, and we must lay a solid foundation. According to Zhu Yunlong, recently, cssc ninth academy organized chief engineers of various majors to study the spirit of the science and technology conference of CSSC Group, and conducted in-depth discussions on the outline of the institute's "13th Five-Year Plan" scientific and technological innovation plan, put forward some new ideas for scientific and technological innovation work indicators, and will pay more attention to basic common technology research, talent team structure, proportion of technical service income, standardization construction and industrialization of achievements, and improve relevant systems.

According to reports, the institute has also basically determined the five key areas for the implementation of technological innovation during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, including the upgrading of shipyard construction engineering technology, entering the high-tech, high-value-added ship and marine engineering equipment interior engineering market, continuing to expand the market for new urbanization construction projects, developing and undertaking sets of equipment, and promoting energy-saving and environmental protection technologies and new energy applications. In terms of shipyard engineering, the institute will focus on luxury cruise ship construction technology, intelligent shipyard, three-dimensional simulation system of shipbuilding process flow, etc., give full play to the technical advantages and market accumulation of CSSC Ninth Academy, accelerate the pace of technological innovation, and accelerate the industrialization of scientific research results.

Scientific research institutes have concentrated a large number of scientific and technological talents and are the main front for carrying out scientific and technological innovation. However, how to change the innovative activities of scientific and technological talents from "lone wolf-style breakthrough" to "team-style advancement" also needs to create a democratic culture, give full play to individual creativity and craftsmanship, and persevere and make long-term achievements. Zhu Yunlong believes that carrying out technological innovation cannot be carried out in a form and a movement, and it is necessary to innovate the system and mechanism at the same time. Cssa Shipbuilding Ninth Academy has formulated 9 safeguard measures for this purpose: one is to focus on the development strategy of the state and CSSC Group, the second is to strengthen the construction of the technology center platform, the third is to strengthen the management of intellectual property rights, the fourth is to strengthen the construction of the standard system, the fifth is to accelerate the application and transformation of achievements, the sixth is to innovate the scientific research system, the seventh is to carry out the construction of the talent team, the eighth is to strengthen the leadership of the innovation culture, and the ninth is to reform the scientific and technological management mechanism. Through the implementation of the above measures, CSSC Ninth Academy expects that scientific and technological innovation work can usher in a more open and inclusive new situation, so as to promote enterprises to accelerate the realization of innovation-driven development, and provide more solid and powerful technical support for CSSC to build into an innovative marine equipment group and for the innovation and development of China's shipbuilding industry. ⭕
