This is Special English. The China-Europe Railway Express departing from Shenzhen, recently marked its fifth anniversary with a train carrying home appliances. electronics, and other goods bound for Russia.
According to Shenzhen Shenguo Railway Logistics Development Company.
The Shenzhen route has operated a total... of 878 trains. transporting more than 85,000 units of goods. with a total cargo value exceeding $3 billion US dollars.
The first train on the route set off on August 18, 2020. carrying machinery and electronic products across the Eurasian continent to Duisburg in Germany.
Over the past five years, The China-Europe Railway Express Shenzhen Network. has expanded from a single root to twenty-seven roots covering 47 countries and regions, including Germany. the Czech Republic, Italy, and Russia.
The total value of cargo transported on the Shenzhen route. has increased for five consecutive years.
To date, the root has served more than 7,000 enterprises. continuously transporting home appliances Electronics. household goods and footwear from the Guangdong Hong Kong, Macau, Greater Bay Area. to countries and regions along the railway.
It has also brought high quality products from those countries and regions back to China. establishing a two-way trade channel.
You're listening to Special English China's Long March 10 carrier rocket. the country's new generation manned launch vehicle. has successfully completed the first static Fire Test at the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern island province of Hainan.
According to the China Manned Space Agency, the test marks a milestone in China's Manned Lunar Exploration Program.
Following the successful zero-altitude escape flight test of the mung joe manned spacecraft and the comprehensive landing and take-off test. of the Lan Yue manned lunar lander.
During the test, seven engines of the test product of the rocket's first stage were ignited simultaneously. followed by the completion of multiple scheduled tests procedures.
This static fire test evaluated the simultaneous working capacity of the seven elements. parallel engines of the rocket's first stage. under standard and high working conditions, as well as obtained complete test data, making the test A complete success.
The agency said, that the thrust scale in the test reached nearly 1,000 tons, marking the largest such test ever conducted in China.
The agency stated that the Long March 10 series rockets will be fully utilized in the country's manned space flight program working in tandem. with the Mongjo manned spacecraft. to achieve the upgrading of China's Manned Space Earth Round Trip Transportation System.
China has now entered the lunar landing phase. of its manned lunar exploration program. paving the way to land astronauts on the moon before This is Special English.
Chinese scientists. have developed a robot capable of conducting full power. highlighting deep integration of biotechnology and AI technologies in the agricultural field. intelligent breeding sector.
This new AI-based robot model is expected to facilitate a breeding shift from experience-driven to precision agriculture.
The study has been published in the journal Cell. by the Institute of Genetics and developmental biology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
A scene once limited to a science fiction movie. has now become a reality in a greenhouse. where the model accurately identified a flower and extended its robotic arms to gently complete Hybrid pollination.
It shuttled effectively among the flowers and precisely carried out the whole breeding process.
Xu Cao, a researcher at the institute, said that AI and robots offer vast opportunities in shifting hybrid breeding to one. toward precision agriculture to enhance crop yields. reduce costs, and promote sustainable practices.
According to Shu, hybrid breeding... which seeks to ensure the superior birth and raising of crops. is an important way to enhance both crop yield and quality.
However, massive repetitive cross-pollination operations are time consuming and labor intensive. compared with the process involved in producing well-known hybrid rice varieties.
The robot can apply new Generation Breeding Technologies such as a speed-breathing approach. to achieve rapid superior varieties.
Through AI visual recognition, and positioning technologies.
The robot is able to accurately move among crops to perform cross-pollination operations. thereby enhancing breeding efficiency.
Hsu revealed that in soybean breeding, This robotized hybrid breeding option can achieve rapid creation of stigma-exerted male sterile lines. which is expected to break through a bottleneck in soybean hybrid breeding. and significantly increase per unit yield.
Shu said that the team's new study initiated an intelligent breeding model of integrated biotechnology.
AI and robot labor. Marking. China's successful pioneering efforts. in the construction of a closed-loop technology system. for intelligent robotized hybrid breeding.
You're listening to Special English. Mango-flavored ice pops.
Keep rolling off a production line in the county of TX.
China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
The tropical sweetness will later embark on a long journey.
To Russia. To meet rising demand. Lin De'en.
Chairman of Tiandong Yisheng Import an export trade company said their output had skyrocketed from a few hundred tons last year. to over 3000 tons so far this year. and the output is on track to hit 5000 tons for the entire year.
Nearly 60% of the company's mango ice pop sales exports are bound for Russia, the rest for Kazakhstan. the Republic of Korea and Japan.
Tien Dong aims to make itself China's mango capital. with the local mango industry shifting from fresh fruit fruit exports to deep processing. products like mango chips.
Puree and jam are gradually... breaking into emerging overseas markets.
According to Zheng Cheng Rui, General Manager.
The company also supplies mango products as raw materials to bubble tea brands across Europe.
Anhui, Shandong, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces.
During each mango season, The combined output of pulp and puree tops 6,000 tons. yet still failing to keep up with the demand. as one of the country's leading mango hubs.
Tien Dong is now home to some 22,000 666 hectares of mango orchards.
Liu Dehuan, chief agronomist. of the County's Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau. said that the county is accelerating the promotion of integrated water and fertilizer irrigation and eco-friendly pest and disease control.
Liu explained that in the past, Farmers mainly relied on manual pesticide spraying.
Now, drones equipped with high precision sensors can accurately detect the growth of fruit trees and the distribution of pests and diseases, enabling precise Pesticide Application and Intelligent Pest Control.
Liu aims to promote the use of more mechanized and intelligent equipment.
This, he said, will save labor. while boosting yields and enhancing ecological benefits.
