On September29th， the Qingdao Municipal Science and Technology Awarding Conference took place． In the conference， Liang Jianying， the female high－speed train research and development scientist， obtained the highest award．
Born in1972， Liang Jianying is the deputy general manager and chief engineer of the CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co．， Ltd． In the past22 years since she started working， by introduction， digestion， absorption and recreation， she has led her technical team， hosted in succession dozens of national significant projects， made a series of national level innovation achievements and created the serialization and genealogy of CRH train product platform． In2007，she presided over the research of CRH2A and CRH2E with the speed of200 to250 km／h， which has tackled the technical difficulties including multiple unit train （MU） grouping， traction braking performance and double pantographs operation， enhanced the stability and sitting comfort of MU and filled in the blank of couchette in high－speed MU with long groups in the world． In2008， she took the post of the chief designer of CRH380A high－speed MU of a new generation， the highest speed of which can be380km／h． At that time， it was the high－speed MU with the highest technical grade in the world． In2010， she hosted the research of CRH380AM， an MU with the higher speed grade and created the highest experimental speed in the lab， namely605km／h． From2011 to2014， she presided over the research and manufacturing of MU based on the permanent magnetic motor， which promoted the upgrading process of high－speed MU in the world． In2015， she hosted the research and manufacturing of CR400AF Fuxing Chinese standard MU， which has accomplished the interconnection among different vehicle platforms and parts interchange． It will become the main train type of the next generation． All technical indicators are at the world advanced level． Wang Ping （Liang Jianying on the awarding podium． By Zhou Guanghui）
The yield of Yuan Longping sea－rice can reach620．95kgs／mu
On the afternoon of September28th， the first batch of saline－alkali tolerant rice in Bai Ni Di experiment base of Qingdao Sea－rice Research and Development Center was reaped and evaluated． The highest yield can reach620．95 kgs／mu． Experts think this is a significant breakthrough in Chinese sea－rice research．
The saline－alkali rice is commonly known as sea－rice and a kind of rice， which can grow on mudflats and saline－alkali soil． This year，312 pieces of very saline－alkali tolerant sea－rice materials were in the Bai Ni Di experiment base （before evaluation， the rice variety is called material）． After reaping， weighing， and weeding， according to the final evaluation， the yield of4 materials has exceeded400kgs／mu．
According to the estimation of Yuan Longping， the member of Chinese Academy of Engineering and other experts， the yield per mu can increase to over300kgs．“It is economical to plant sea－rice． Farmers can be more active to plant it．”
According to experts， there is remarkable difference between experimental material planting and yield evaluation in a small area and planting and yield in large fields． At least three years will be taken ranging from variety comparison to regional trial planting， mass area trial planting， government approval， and ultimate variety popularization．
According to Wang Kexiang， the chief of the Technology Division of Qingdao Sea－rice Research and Development Center， the mild saline－alkali soil has the salt content of about0．3％ and the moderate saline－alkali soil has the salt content of about0．6％ while the salt content of seawater is3．3％ to3．5％． In the trial planting process， the specially treated seawater with0．3％ salt content was used for irrigation in the preliminary stage． Later the seawater with0．6％ salt content was used． As the sea－rice research carries forward in the future， we are anticipating to use more salty and alkaline water for irrigation． Zhang Hua

Qingdao and Budapest have become economic partners with each other
In“the Belt and Road” Eurasian Economic and Trade Cooperation Industry Park Budapest and Qingdao Business Dialogue Meeting recently held in Budapest， the capital of Hungary， Qingdao Municipal Bureau of Commerce， and Budapest Chamber of Industry and Commerce signed the Memorandum on Constructing Economic Partnership． According to the memo， both cities will conduct cooperation on the basis of equality and mutual benefit， build economic partners with each other， jointly promote bilateral economic and trade cooperation and co－take facilitating measures to strengthen cooperation in bilateral investment by feasible actions． This is the62nd overseas economic partner city Qingdao has made． Shen Junlin
Qingdao will open direct flight lines to Sydney and London
On September28th， Capital Airlines held the press conference in Qingdao announcing that the Qingdao－Sydney flight route of Capital Airlines will make the debut on October29thand the first direct airline between Qingdao and London in Shandong Province will fly on November17th．
The Airbus A330 double－channel wide aircraft will carry out these two flight routes． Wide economic class and high quality business class service will provide utmost comfort and convenience to passengers． Moreover special food on the plane also gives surprises to the air journey． Zhou Jianliang
