A "tunnel" takes you across the seabed, a "bowl" can hold 60,000 tons of oil, a "boat" can raise two winter catch fish in Chagan Lake in one year, and a "algae" can extract ultra-pure sodium alginate, which is more valuable than gold......

It has been said that when facing the deep ocean, you can unfold "10,000 imaginations". "The world's first", "the world's only", "Asia's first", "China's first"...... Qingdao is trying to turn imagination into reality.
This week, the main leaders of Qingdao successively investigated the development of the marine equipment industry, marine drugs and biological products industry, presided over the symposium on the transformation and upgrading of the modern marine industry and the symposium on promoting the innovation of marine science and technology and cultivating new marine productivity.
How can Qingdao let the new quality productivity "go to the sea" and hold up the imagination about the ocean?
One
During the Dawenkou culture period, about 44.1% of the food of the ancestors of Jimo Beiqian came from shellfish and fish in the sea; during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qi State benefited from fish and salt and rapidly grew into a large country in the East; during the Tang and Song dynasties, Banqiao Town, Jiaozhou became the busiest port in northern China...... For thousands of years, Qingdao people who "rely on the sea to eat the sea" deeply understand the weight of the words "born by the sea and prosperous to the sea".
On June 12, 2018, when General Secretary Xi Jinping inspected Qingdao, he said that I have always had such a belief in building a maritime power. He stressed that the development of marine economy and marine scientific research is a very important aspect of promoting our strategy of strengthening the country, and we must do a good job of it. The key technologies depend on our own research and development, and the development of the marine economy has a bright future.
The 21st century is the century of the oceans. With the blessing of various emerging technologies, the marine economy has become an important growth point of the world economic development, and its development potential is generally higher than the growth rate of the world economy. It is predicted that the global ocean economy will exceed $3 trillion by 2030.

The ocean is a strategic place for high-quality development, and a developed marine economy is an important support for building a maritime power. In 2023, the country's marine GDP will be 9,909.7 billion yuan, an increase of 6.0% over the previous year, 0.8 percentage points higher than the GDP, and 7.9% of the GDP, an increase of 0.1 percentage points over the previous year.
In recent years, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan and other maritime powers have issued new versions of their maritime strategies to strengthen and expand their maritime strategic interests, and a new round of global maritime competition is extremely fierce.
In the face of fierce international competition, fully tapping the new quality of marine productivity is an important direction for the mainland to seize the leading position, and it is also a solid foundation for promoting the strategy of maritime power.
For Qingdao, the greatest space for development is in the ocean, the greatest potential is in the ocean, and the greatest kinetic energy is in the ocean. Over the years, Qingdao's marine GDP has ranked third in the country. In 2023, Qingdao's marine GDP will account for about 30% of the province's marine GDP and about 33% of the city's GDP, and Qingdao's marine GDP will increase by 6.5% year-on-year, 0.5 percentage points higher than the national level. Accelerating the cultivation of blue kinetic energy and striving to be at the forefront of the country in the development of new quality productivity in the marine field is not only an urgent task for Qingdao, but also a long-term need.
On March 29, Qingdao held a symposium on the transformation and upgrading of the modern marine industry and a symposium on promoting the innovation of marine science and technology to cultivate new marine productivity, proposing to unswervingly do a good job in the ocean, focusing on the goal of building a leading modern marine city, leading the construction of a modern marine industry system with scientific and technological innovation, and accelerating the cultivation and development of new quality productivity in the marine field.

Compared with the land, the marine environment is complex and harsh, and the potential for development and utilization is great, but the development is also very difficult, especially from extensive development to fine development, which requires the support of more "black technology" and "marine heavy weapons". A history of marine development is a history of scientific and technological advancement.
The innovation and development of marine science and technology is a new topic leading the current global ocean governance, and it is the most active and revolutionary factor in promoting the construction of a new marine order. Whoever can take the lead in making breakthroughs in key and disruptive technologies in the marine field and taking the lead in developing and forming new quality productive forces will be able to seize opportunities, take the lead, win advantages, and truly grasp the initiative in competition and development.

Marine science and technology is a longboard for Qingdao to lead the development of new quality productivity with innovation. At present, Qingdao has 30% of the country's sea-related academicians, 40% of high-end sea-related institutions, and 50% of the leading technologies in the marine field, especially a number of "national brand" institutes and universities such as the National Deep-sea Base, Laoshan Laboratory, Institute of Oceanography, and Ocean University of China, bringing together a group of top marine scientists to hold up the "height" of Qingdao's marine basic research.
Facing the future, Qingdao should base itself on its own advantages in marine scientific research, build and make good use of major innovation platforms, improve the technological innovation system with enterprises as the main body, market-oriented, and the combination of production, education, research and application, improve the mechanism of "enterprises and institutes answering questions", and accelerate the transformation of scientific research achievements into real productivity. It is necessary to strengthen the empowerment of modern technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence, actively expand the application scenarios of new marine technologies and new products, and further improve the level of marine development and utilization.

The marine industry is the core layer of the marine economy. The strength of the ocean depends to a large extent on the strength of the marine industry.
The construction of a modern marine industry system includes not only the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries, but also the cultivation and growth of emerging industries, as well as the full development of the service industry. Qingdao has a complete range of marine industries, with 28 marine and related industries all having a layout and a balanced structure. At present, Qingdao is focusing on seven leading industries, including marine fishery, marine equipment, marine drugs and biological products, marine new energy, seawater desalination and comprehensive utilization, shipping finance, and marine cultural tourism, and two future industries of deep-sea development and marine Internet of Things.

At present, the competition in the global marine industry has extended from traditional fields to fields with higher added value such as science and technology, finance, and high-end services. If we want space, development and efficiency from the ocean, we need to be strong in the "new" and go all out to "that sea".
Qingdao should promote the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, transform and upgrade advantageous marine industries such as marine fisheries, ships and marine engineering equipment, cultivate and expand emerging marine industries such as marine drugs and biological products, seawater desalination and comprehensive utilization, and look forward to the layout of future marine industries such as deep-sea development and marine new energy, upgrade modern marine services such as modern shipping services and marine cultural tourism, and strive to build a number of competitive marine industrial clusters.

More than 600 years ago, Zheng He made seven trips to the West, leaving behind an eternal story of China's friendly exchanges with other countries. The ocean doesn't divide us into islands, it connects people to each other. Whether it is the connection of industries or the transformation of traditional manufacturing industries, the development of new quality productivity is not China's own business, and high-level opening up plays an important role in accelerating the formation of new quality productivity. The marine economy is an open economy, and the marine economy has a great future to build a new development pattern.
As an economic outlet for Central Asian countries and the Yellow River Basin, Qingdao undertakes a series of national strategies and key tasks such as participating in and serving the construction of the "Belt and Road" and the national strategy of the Yellow River. In 2023, the cargo throughput of Qingdao Port will exceed 700 million tons and the container throughput will exceed 30 million TEUs, becoming the fifth 30 million TEU port in the world, ranking fourth and fifth in the world in terms of scale, respectively.

In the future, on the one hand, we should focus on improving the quality and efficiency of ports, accelerating the construction of smart ports and improving the service functions of international shipping centers.
On the other hand, it is necessary to create a new highland for the opening up of the ocean. We will give full play to the role of the Yellow River Basin as an important economic outlet for ecological protection and high-quality development strategies, build marine open cooperation platforms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Demonstration Zone and the Qingdao Area of the Shandong Pilot Free Trade Zone, and deepen practical cooperation in marine science and technology, industry, economy and trade, investment, people-to-people and resources.
Only the new quality productive forces thus formed can stand at the forefront of the tide, which not only resonates with the global scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, but also always holds it in their own hands.
Five
The new quality productivity itself is green productivity, which means that the new marine quality productivity must be environmentally friendly and resource-saving. To ask for space, resources and development from the ocean, we need to take it step by step, and develop and protect it at the same time, so that the marine economy can truly move towards the "blue ocean".
The world's first 100,000-ton large-scale intelligent fishery aquaculture vessel "Guoxin No. 1", Shandong Port Qingdao Port fully automated wharf and other "made in Qingdao" national heavy equipment made a wonderful appearance...... Qingdao is also protecting the marine ecology on the way to explore the wonderland of the ocean. Promote the low-carbon transformation of the marine industry, enhance the carbon sequestration and sink capacity of the marine ecosystem, build a green and sustainable marine ecological environment, and realize the sustainable use of marine resources and the high-quality development of the marine economy...... On the road of green and low-carbon development, Qingdao has incorporated the construction of marine ecological civilization into the overall layout of urban green development.

Compared with land, the time of the deep sea is often several orders of magnitude slower, for example, manganese nodules grow only one centimeter in millions of years, and the reproductive cycle of deep biota is measured in thousands of years. We must not use the frenzy of "gold panning" to fish and "hollow out" the deep sea, but care for the ocean as if it were life, keep the ocean blue, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for the ocean. In the future, Qingdao will continue to improve the level of comprehensive marine management, implement the "Blue Bay" remediation action, strengthen the overall planning of land and sea, and build a beautiful bay.
We are still schoolchildren in front of the deep sea. Just as it took thousands of years for humans to learn how to use resources on land, it was impossible for humans to enter the deep sea overnight. However, the new quality productivity of the ocean is like a powerful blue engine, leading us into the "deep blue", making the "legend of the blue sea" more shining and moving.
