The deep sea is a rare treasure trove. Du Mengran, a researcher of the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering, CAS, followed China’s three generations of deep-sea manned submersibles for dozens of times, and saw cold water coral forests, cold spring oases, hydrothermal chimney forests, abyssal micro-organisms, etc. with a series of new high-performance underwater exploration equipment independently developed. He also became the first witness of a large sunken ship in the Ming Dynasty that had slept in the South China Sea for 500 years.

The high-speed maglev train will fill the speed gap between 350km/h high-speed rail and 1000km/h aircraft. Deng Zigang, a researcher at Southwest Jiaotong University, has successfully developed the world’s first high-temperature superconducting high-speed maglev engineering prototype in nearly 10 years, with a design speed of 620km/h.

Ji Jianghui, the project leader of the “Closeby Habitable Exoplanet Survey” (CHES), introduced that CHES is the first international space exploration mission specifically to search for habitable terrestrial planets around nearby solar like stars. A comprehensive survey will be conducted on approximately 100 solar like stars within 32 light-years of the solar system, and it is expected to discover no less than 20 habitable planets.

During the process of collecting spiders in the mysterious cave, Professor Liu Jie from the Faculty of Resources and Environmental Science Hubei University led a team to confirm that the eye degeneration of the true cave spider in the cave is not a genetic residue, but is driven by natural selection, and the phenomenon of sustained activity of the true cave spider was discovered. As of now, they have published over 200 new species of the Crab Spider family.

Over the past 20 years, Fang Zhendong, a researcher at the Shangri La High Mountain Botanical Garden in Diqing, Yunnan, has led a team to conduct investigations and research on 120 pioneer plant community plots in 16 counties in northwest Yunnan, identifying 105 pioneer plant communities. They have formulated different seed formulas and seedling planting plans based on different climate types and local characteristics, and carried out vegetation restoration demonstration projects.

Wang Nonuo is a new generation of science fiction writer who won the Best Newcomer and Best Short Story awards at the China Science Fiction Galaxy Awards within a few years. Where the future of humanity will ultimately go, it requires scientists and technology workers to step by step. I am also honored to be able to depict those uncertain futures, hoping to bring readers some reading pleasure and thinking.

The award-winning works and students of the first “Science Explores Future” Science Fiction Competition of Huangpu Academy of Youth Sciences were also announced at the event site. The awards were presented by Jia Manrong, Secretary and Chairman of the Party Group of Huangpu District Association for Science and Technology (Guangzhou Development District Association for Science and Technology). The scene also opened the prelude to the second competition, with Ma Guobin, the initiator and chairman of the Science and Fantasy Growth Fund, giving an explanation of the competition.
