[Practitioner of Chinese Dream] In Washington, Deng Zhonghan launched an initiative to China, the United States and Britain： to respond to major global challenges with innovation, cooperation and fore

　　Washington, July 19, 2017, at 9: 00 Eastern Time in Washington, DC, USA, the global engineering technology gathered at George Washington University named after George Washington, the founding father of the United States. The National Academy of Engineering, the China Academy of Engineering and the Royal Academy of Engineering jointly held the third Global Grand Challenges Summit.

　　The forum invited a leader of engineering science and technology from China, the United States and Britain to give a keynote speech at the opening session. Following the keynote speakers of the previous two forums, such as Bill Gates and Ma Yun, Deng Zhonghan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, a deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of the board of directors of Zhongxing Micro Group, was invited by the presidents of Chinese, American and British engineering institutes to give a keynote speech. At the forum, he spoke fluent English to academicians, experts and student representatives from the three countries about China’s determination, actions and achievements in coping with major global challenges, introduced China’s original breakthroughs and major achievements in the field of engineering science and technology to the world, told the story of China in a simple way, and conveyed the voice of China in a profound way.

　　It is reported that this forum has gathered more than 1,000 representatives from the scientific and engineering scientific and technological circles and industries of China, the United States and Britain, aiming at discussing how to seek interdisciplinary solutions to the most pressing major challenges facing mankind in the 21st century through engineering science and technology innovation and engineering education. During the two-day forum, engineering and scientific experts from many countries conducted in-depth discussions and exchanges on major global challenges such as global warming, clean energy, artificial intelligence and network security.

　　Focus on scientific and technological innovation and contribute to China’s wisdom

　　In 2008, the American Academy of Engineering put forward 14 major engineering science and technology challenges that human beings need to deal with in the 21st century. Since then, the Chinese, American and British Engineering Institutes have co-hosted two global major challenge forums in London, England and Beijing, China in 2013 and 2015, and this Washington Conference is the third.

　　Since the world financial crisis in 2008, the global economic development has entered a new stage. How can the engineering science and technology community provide new kinetic energy for driving the world economic growth in the post-financial crisis era? How to deal with a series of challenges facing the world?

　　In his keynote speech at the Third Global Challenge Forum, Academician Deng Zhonghan told a vivid story about the rapid growth of China’s sharing economy, taking the booming bike-sharing as an example, and analyzed the ideas, models and technological innovations behind the sharing economy, so as to inspire the engineering and technological elites and college students’ representatives of the three countries to show China’s wisdom in coping with major challenges and driving economic development, and called on the global engineering and scientific circles to make great innovations and work together to create a new situation of development.

　　Academician Deng Zhonghan said that in a short period of one year, the number of bike-sharing in China has suddenly increased from 2 million to 20 million, and it may increase to 50 million by the end of 2017. Well-deserved to become a phenomenal product! This innovation and technology model is of great significance to alleviate the headache of traffic congestion in big cities, and also plays an important auxiliary role in saving energy, reducing emissions and reducing pollution.

　　According to the data, in the past 2016, the total distance of cycling in bike-sharing exceeded 2.5 billion kilometers, equivalent to 3,300 trips to the moon; Accumulated savings of 460 million liters of gasoline; Reduced the material emissions of 4.5 billion micrograms of PM2.5 that caused smog in Beijing; Reduce carbon emissions by 540,000 tons. He pointed out that the development of bike-sharing perfectly explains how tough engineering technology can solve challenges, how engineering technology can change our world, how technology can improve our lives, and how innovation can shape our future.

　　Deng Zhonghan emphasized that bike-sharing’s success in China is due to the strong support of China’s IT Internet infrastructure construction. In recent years, China has invested billions of dollars in Internet infrastructure construction, and built the world’s largest communication optical fiber network through key enterprises such as China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom. At present, China has more than 730 million Internet users, 1.12 billion mobile Internet users, 1.25 billion mobile phone users and 700 million smart phone users, ranking first in the world.

　　Outside bike-sharing, several generations of scientists in China have made a series of scientific and technological breakthroughs and engineering achievements in the fields of aerospace, high-speed rail, bridges, hydropower and renewable energy through continuous innovation. In recent years, China’s space program is rapidly catching up with the world leaders with the Long March rocket, Tiangong Space Station, Shenzhou spacecraft and Chang ‘e’s space flight to the moon. In terms of transportation, China has built the largest and longest expressway system in the world. What attracts the world’s attention is that China has built a high-speed railway system with the strongest technology and the largest scale under construction in the world! These facts show that China has the ability to solve major human challenges and contribute China wisdom to the healthy development of the world economy.

　　Deng Zhonghan pointed out that, like the China scientists who made outstanding contributions such as Qian Xuesen, Deng Jiaxian and Hou Debang, and the foreign scientists who made outstanding achievements such as Edison, Bell and Steve Jobs, engineers can change the world through technology and model innovation. Young people should aim high, pay attention to the future development trend of China and even the world, and solve major problems that restrict human survival and development through innovative breakthroughs in engineering technology.

　　Call for shared responsibility to solve global challenges

　　In his speech, Deng Zhonghan combed 14 major challenges facing the world: making solar energy more economical, providing energy through nuclear fusion, promoting the development of carbon sequestration, controlling the nitrogen cycle, providing clean water, improving urban infrastructure, promoting the progress of health informatics, developing better drugs, reverse engineering the brain, preventing nuclear terrorism, ensuring the arrangement of cyberspace, strengthening the development of virtual reality technology, promoting personalized learning, and developing various scientific discovery tools. He pointed out that these major challenges are actually an effective way to inspire the engineering community, young people and the general public to seek solutions. In the process of solving this series of challenges, engineers and technicians all over the world play an important role.

　　At the same time, Deng Zhonghan also stressed that many problems facing mankind at present are systemic problems, and it is not enough to overcome major challenges only by innovation, but also by uniting more forces to make concerted efforts. Just like Dan, president of the American Academy of Engineering? Dr. Mu De pointed out that the great challenge in the 20th century is "things", but the important problems we need to solve in the 21st century are more about "people, society and sustainable development". It should be recognized that to create and implement solutions to these challenges, public policy, law, international relations, science, social science, culture and everyone in the world should be involved.

　　Academician Deng Zhonghan said that at present, a group of the best scientists from all over the world are working hard to solve the most challenging problem of our humanity in this century — — The issue of "climate change and global warming" is United to face challenges together. In the face of this scientific problem, we have transcended interests, transcended politics, transcended the boundaries of nationality and strived for a common goal. He said that for many years, I have been convinced that science has no national boundaries. It is the common dream of all of us and the common responsibility of the world to enable people to live a better life in a healthy and safe environment.

　　Academician Deng Zhonghan emphasized that when the 21st century is ten years, twenty years or even fifty years, we may face more major new challenges. We still need to persevere to discover the 15th and 16th challenges hidden around us. The world is changing at an unimaginable speed, affecting all walks of life and all aspects of life, which will undoubtedly bring many new and severe challenges. For example, the development of artificial intelligence technology and products has greatly exceeded our expectations, and we are beginning to worry that human beings will be replaced by machines.

　　He believes that technology may indeed bring many new problems or challenges, and we can be sure that the future will be full of uncertainty! Therefore, we need to keep a curiosity forever, keep an engaged state, and encourage young engineers or scholars to continuously discover, analyze and solve problems. We should keep a positive attitude towards these unknown challenges. In the past industrial revolution, we faced similar difficulties, we adjusted and adapted to them, and never made the end of the world a reality. Those glorious victories in the past have made us full of confidence in winning future victories.

　　At the end of the speech, Academician Deng Zhonghan quoted the famous saying of Confucius, a great thinker, that "a trip to the Avenue is also a public service". He said that "the world" calls on us to build a community of destiny. We will look for solutions to major challenges with broad vision and broad mind; Call on us to have a shared sense of responsibility, work together, share responsibility, help each other in the same boat and tide over difficulties together; Call on us to act immediately and practice innovative development, coordinated development, green development, open development and shared development. He called on scientists, technical experts and engineers all over the world to live up to their mission and trust, and roll up their sleeves and work hard!

　　Academician Deng Zhonghan called on the whole world to act together to change life with science and technology at the third global major challenge forum sponsored by the National Academy of Engineering, the China Academy of Engineering and the Royal Academy of Engineering.

　　Be determined to innovate and start new businesses to benefit the society.

　　On the website of the University of California, Berkeley, the China alumnus is described like this — Deng Zhonghan, chief commander of Starlight China Core Project, vice chairman of the 8th China Association for Science and Technology, director of the State Key Laboratory of Digital Multimedia Chip Technology, and the youngest academician of China Academy of Engineering: "His enterprise has successfully occupied more than 60% of the global computer image input chip market, ranking first in the world."

　　After studying in Berkeley for five years, Deng Zhonghan received three degrees, namely, Doctor of Electronic Engineering, Master of Physics and Master of Economics, and became the first graduate of Berkeley who spanned science, engineering and business for more than 130 years. At that time, Tian Changlin, president of Berkeley, said, "You, an international student from China, have created a miracle." After graduation, Deng Zhonghan went to work at IBM, and engaged in cutting-edge scientific and technological research at IBM- T.J. Watson Research. After that, he successfully started a business in Silicon Valley.

　　Science has no national boundaries, but scientists have a motherland. On October 1, 1999, Deng Zhonghan was invited back to China to attend the National Day ceremony marking the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, and was cordially received and eagerly summoned by the party and state leaders. He resolutely gave up his successful career and affluent life in the United States in order to start the integrated circuit business in his motherland. Under the direct leadership of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (formerly the Ministry of Information Industry), it undertook and started the national "Starlight China Core Project" and founded Zhongxing Microelectronics Company in Zhongguancun, Beijing, which opened a new course of returning to China for innovation and entrepreneurship.

　　As one of the main pioneers of China’s large-scale integrated circuit chip system design technology and industrialization, Deng Zhonghan led the "Starlight China Core Project" to enter the international market on a large scale for the first time, which was adopted by Apple, Samsung, Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo and Huawei, occupying more than 60% of the global market share of computer image input chips; Zhongxing Microelectronics Co., Ltd. also became the first chip core technology design enterprise listed on NASDAQ in the United States, and won the annual award of the Global Semiconductor Design Association in 2006, completely ending the history of China’s "core-free", so Academician Deng Zhonghan was also known as "the father of China’s core". He led the team to win the "First Prize of National Science and Technology Progress" twice in 2004 and 2013.

　　In recent years, in order to meet the strategic needs of the country, Academician Deng Zhonghan led the team to undertake major national research tasks, and other units worked together to formulate the national standard of SVAC, the basic information source of Skynet security monitoring, which has independent intellectual property rights in China and the technology has reached the international leading level, and built an independent and controllable security monitoring industrial chain from chips, algorithms, terminal equipment, system platforms to overall solutions in China. Basic and strategic work has been done to better protect national public safety and information security, and a solid technical foundation has been laid for building a national "Skynet" project with national unity, global coverage, controllable whole process and network sharing.

　　After several years of unremitting efforts, in June 2016, Academician Deng Zhonghan led the team to overcome five core technologies, such as "convolutional neural network processor technology based on data-driven parallel computing architecture" and "embedded deep learning machine vision SoC technology", and launched the first neural network processor (NPU) chip with deep learning artificial intelligence in China, "Starlight Intelligence No.1", which made the field of deep learning artificial intelligence in China enter the international advanced ranks in one fell swoop. This chip was first applied in the security monitoring industry based on SVAC national standards, which made the security monitoring industry in China enter the intelligent era from the analog era and the digital era.

　　In the keynote speech of the 3rd Global Major Challenge Forum, Academician Deng Zhonghan pointed out that, as the presidents of engineering colleges in the United States, Britain and China said in the article "The Power of Thought", the major challenge is the call to action, which has ignited an expanding global national movement and changed people’s thinking about the future and the responsibility of engineering in the process of creating the future. This action, which calls for the participation of all mankind, will inspire a new spirit and give us a force to face and overcome all the unknown challenges that will be faced in the future. This movement will inspire our engineers to constantly find new ways to deal with all kinds of uncertain problems. This movement will advocate us to keep the spirit of dedication and dedication, care about the fate of mankind, care about the survival of the earth, and care about the future of our mankind. This is our vision for the future and our common expectation.
