Hydrogen torch, "land ice conversion", smart restaurant, "time slice"... The "black technology" of the Beijing Winter Olympics is emerging in an endless stream. The history of the 100-year Olympic Games is also the history of iterative updating of science and technology, and technological empowerment is increasingly infiltrating all aspects of the event.
Why is the Olympic "black technology" becoming more and more important?
The first is "fine". Improving the level of Olympic events has entered the era of big data and intelligence. Whether it is to enhance the training effect of athletes, or the fairness of the event and logistical support, technology has become a solid backing for optimizing the Olympic experience.
From Su Bingtian's computer bionic simulation training to the missile "wind tunnel" technology that supports swimming, rowing and even short-track speed skating projects, science and technology makes personalized training and big data monitoring a reality, helping athletes break through the limits of the human body and refresh the Olympic pursuit of faster, higher and stronger.
The cooking robots, food delivery robots, intelligent mobile cabins, zero-gravity smart beds, etc. in Beijing Winter Olympic Village not only provide food, accommodation and medical protection for athlete teams from all over the world, but also respond to the actual needs of special periods and become a link to create a "closed loop" for epidemic prevention.
The second is "scenery". The Olympic "black technology" is not only a flash in the finite time and space, but more like a nebula in the universe, diffusing, extending, and quietly diving into the vast future vision.
The scientific and technological achievements of the Winter Olympics will eventually exert an spillover effect and lead to the well-being of the public - "flying into the homes of ordinary people". Whether it is training facilities such as snow wax cars, super ski simulators, mobile ski jumps, or Olympic venues such as "Ice Ribbon", "Ice Cube" and "Snow Ruyi", its efficiency is far beyond the Winter Olympics.

The Winter Olympics event provides a testing stage for China's scientific and technological innovation, and the domestic "ice and snow black technology" competes to show its style, which not only shows and promotes scientific and technological empowerment and green environmental awareness to the public, but also stores energy for China to become a strong country with independent intellectual property rights.
The third is "net". In the face of striving to achieve carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, green has become an important background for the Beijing Winter Olympics. All kinds of energy-saving and emission-reducing "black technology" came into being.

The opening ceremony of the high-pressure hydrogen storage "shimmering" torch to achieve pollution-free, zero carbon emissions; "water cube" into "ice cube", not only to avoid the new venues to increase carbon emissions, but also for the post-game multi-format application to provide a demonstration; 26 venues in the three major competition areas 100% of the use of green electricity supply, greatly reducing the carbon footprint... A series of scientific and technological achievements have created a cleaner and more environmentally friendly panorama of the Winter Olympics.
The frequent appearance of "black technology" in the Olympic Games is the reflection of the concept of "Science and Technology Olympics". The logic of technology is essentially the logic of "people". Scientific management and technology empowerment penetrate the event in an all-round way, which is a springboard for the achievement of the "Green Olympics" and "Humanistic Olympics", and is also the inevitable way to conform to the changes of the times and highlight the humanistic concept.
