This initiative consolidates more than 3 ,300 base stations into a unified network, offering centralized management of station resources.
The network provides seamless, high -precision positioning services across the country, delivering real -time, accurate, and reliable navigation, for sectors including public welfare mapping, resource surveying, intelligent transportation, as well as autonomous driving, precision agriculture, and social governance.
The service is available both online and offline.
Online it offers real -time observation data and enhanced positioning services.
Offline the platform delivers coordinated results, post event observation data files and related products.
The Bado Navigation Satellite System was initiated in 1994.
4. When the Beidou -3 satellite system was completed and put into service in July 2020, China became the third country to have an independent global navigation satellite system.
You're listening to Special English The world's first professional and multi -modal large -language model for the field of lunar science has been released in China to significantly accelerate the processing speed of massive amounts of lunar data.
The new tool was debuted at the China International Big Data Industry Expo in Guiyang in southwest China's Guizhou Province by the Institute of Geochemistry under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Alibaba Cloud Intelligence Group.
group, the Institute of Geochemistry has built a comprehensive digital moon platform, with the world's most complete bank of data related to the exploration of the moon.
Ku Wei, vice -president of the Alibaba cloud intelligence group, referred to the tool as a smart brain for the Platform, saying that the Large Language Model identifies lunar craters and remembers them by size, depth, and shape, to provide scientists with important Liu Jianjiang, a researcher at the Institute of Geochemistry.
There are more than one million lunar craters, with a diameter of over one kilometer, and countless smaller ones.
It would be impossible to identify all lunar craters solely relying on manpower.
Researchers Scientists now only need to input an image of a lunar crater, and the model will determine its shape, size and age, with an accuracy rate of over 80%.
Scientists say that the progress and development of planetary science depends on two factors, members, the development of deep space exploration technology and the levels of data processing and application.
Scientific research, driven by big data, is changing the human science and technology development process, and the intelligence of the digital moon will accelerate China's inner and planetary scientific research and innovation.
Blieu said that the large language model is like a child with a very high IQ.
Scientists train and teach the child professional things, and will let it continue to grow, to help solve more scientific problems.

With the launch of a new railway section in southwest China, bullet trains now offer direct access to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Zhujai Valley.
The bullet train service reduces travel time from Chengdu, the capital of southwest China's Search One province, to the station near the UNESCO site, to just one hour and thirty -nine minutes.
Previously, tourists could only reach the scenic area via a bumpy flight or lengthy coach journeys.
In addition to Jujai Valley, the Bullet Train service also links another World Heritage site, the Huanglong Scenic and Historic Interest Area, famed for its mountain landscape, diverse forest ecosystems, and limestone formations, part of the Sichuan -Chinghai Railway, the newly launched section, marks a major milestone in connecting these world -renowned natural sites to China's expansive rail network.
According to Mu Yailin, a designer of the railway, the Sichuan Qinghai Railway stretches approximately 836 kilometres, with a design speed of 200 kilometres per hour.

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Forestry have spotted a goby bear in northwest China's Xinjiangwega Autonomous Region, marking the first recorded sighting of the endangered species within China.
Images of the Gobi bear were captured during a research expedition in Shama Ya Township in Iwu County.
property. This township borders the Great Gobi Strictly Protected Area, Zone A, in Mongolia, a major habitat for the bear.
According to Shuei Yadong, a member of the research team, the endangered wildlife is the only bear species in the world that lives in deserts and gobi areas.
With only some fifty individuals remaining, the Gobi bear is critically endangered.
These bears are mostly solitary in nature and have a gentle temperament.
In Mongolia, the species is regarded as a national treasure.
In 2018, China and Mongolia signed an agreement on the implementation of a technical assistance project to save the gobi bears.
Official data from Mongolia unveiled at the launch of the project indicated that there were only some 20 Gobi bears in the world.
Through 6 years of continuous monitoring and protection efforts, its population has now exceeded 50.

Now, in some parts of China, it's already autumn.
So, if you went to those places recently, and were invited, by your Chinese friends, to dine with them, you would probably have heard them using a word in Chinese quite often, Which is, Tye Cho Biao.
And if you don't want to eat too much so as to keep fit, you will probably hear them say, Come on, have some more.
It's autumn. And let's have some meat.
And Tye Cho Biao. Here's the question.
What exactly is this?
Why do Chinese people always refer to it when having meat on autumn days.
Tia jiao biao, could be literally translated as Pasting Autumn Fat, meaning to paste fat on one's body in autumn, or to eat more meat, so as to grow fatter in the early autumn.
I know it sounds a little bit weird, especially especially to the ears of modern people.
But, in ancient times, it was quite popular for people to weigh themselves on the first day of autumn.
If one had lost weight, it was said to be because of the past bitter summer.
The summer days were scorching hot.
Maybe people didn't have too much appetite.
They ate less, and would probably lose some weight.
Also, in those days, one of the standards for people to judge their health was their weight, being fat or thin.
So, if one got thinner, he or she needed to get more nourishment.
environment. The natural way, in the old days, was to paste the so -called Autumn fat, which was to eat more delicious food.
And undoubtedly, the first choice was to eat meat.
So, in early Autumn, every household in China, especially in northern China, would follow So this tradition to add more plates of meat on the dinner table, fish, duck, and chicken—yes, they can all be cooked in various ways, or be made into dumplings, and so on.
If we dig a little deeper into the origin of this tradition, it is believed that the tradition of pasting autumn fat reached its peak in Beijing.
As the capital of the Qing dynasty established by the Manchurian people, they probably brought the tradition from their hometown in the far north of China, not to mention that Beijing is also a city in the So, it's also quite appropriate for Beijing locals to follow this tradition in a season that gets colder and colder and, interestingly, when they feel cold, many people want to have more meat to eat.
I think this is quite easy to understand, that our bodies naturally need more energy and calories.
We've been talking about the tradition, but what about the current situation?
Yes, nowadays, as living standards have improved, even after the long summer people could hardly have any weight loss at all.
So now in China, many young people are always worrying about their weight, wishing to lose more, which means they will in no way pace themselves with some autumn fat.
Some people think that fat is bad, and unhealthy.
But from the view of nutritionists, this is an incomplete opinion.
Yes, it's not good to be overweight, but it's also problematic to be underweight.
since fat is an important index of body composition.
So, maybe taking everything into consideration, perhaps pasting the autumn fat, is a tradition that we should not abandon in the modern day, but perhaps not embrace too enthusiastically either.
At least it reminds us of the change in the seasons, and to pay more attention to our body health.
In a sense, as the weather becomes colder and colder, our bodies do need more energy and calories.
So, we perhaps do need to adjust our dietary structure in these days of the changing seasons.
