▲C-130H (Source: UTCAerospaceSystems)

C-130 Hercules (Hercules, a hero in Greek mythology) medium-sized tactical transport aircraft is the most successful, longest-lived (in service in 1956) and most productive active transport aircraft in the United States (with a total production of more than 2,000 aircraft), which occupies a core position in American tactical air transport forces and is also an important auxiliary force in American strategic air transport.

The C-130 is equipped with four turboprop engines, which can take off and land on an unprepared runway. It was originally designed to transport armed forces, medical rescue and cargo transshipment. Later, it evolved into various uses, including air strikes, search and rescue, scientific research, meteorological observation, aerial refueling, coastal patrol, and aerial fire fighting.

Among them, WC-130 is an aviation meteorological observation/reconnaissance aircraft modified from C-130 by the Aviation Meteorological Service of the US Air Force, which can undertake tasks such as atmospheric sampling, artificial rainfall, fog driving and winter storm reconnaissance.

C-130J "Super Hercules"

Number of service: 125

Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin

First flight: April 5, 1996

Performance: the maximum speed is 671km/h and the range is 3334km；; The ceiling is 8615m.

C-130J "Super Hercules" is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft, which is a comprehensive update of C-130 "Hercules", including new engines, cockpit and other systems.

In the 1970s, the US military launched a research and development plan to replace the C-130 next-generation transport aircraft, called the advanced medium-range short-field take-off and landing transport aircraft, but the final test result was regrettable. The flight economic benefit of C-130 is too good, and the new aircraft is not good enough to be replaced. Therefore, in the 1980s, Lockheed modified a C-130 to test advanced technology and accumulated background information for subsequent improvement. The testing machine was called the high-tech verification foundation. In the 1990s, the technical inspection data of HTTB became the starting point for developing C-130J, which took over as the latest mass production version after the H-type was discontinued in 1996.

▲C-130J (Source: WikimediaCommons)

Thanks to the upgrade of avionics system, the crew of Model J was reduced to three, and the engine was changed to Rolls-Royce AE-2100D3 turboprop engine. The AE-2100D3 is a derivative of V-22 AE-1107C engine, and a newly designed six-blade propeller-"micro-blade propeller" was adopted, which reduced the fuel consumption and engine consumption by 3.3% compared with ordinary propellers during cruising. Compared with the original model, not only the maximum takeoff weight is increased to 74,400 kg, but also the attack landing weight is increased to 64,400 kg, and the flight speed and combat distance of the C-130J have made remarkable progress.

　　BEIJING, Beijing, February 22 (Reporter Yuan Xiuyue) What progress has been made in the management of water ecological environment in China in the past year? What are the key arrangements for the remediation of black and odorous water bodies and the supervision of sewage outlets in 2023? On the 22nd, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment held a regular press conference in February, and the relevant person in charge introduced the water ecological environment management.

　　In 2022, the discharge of major water pollutants in China will continue to decline.

　　Huang Xiaozeng, Director of the Department of Water Ecology and Environment of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, introduced that in 2022, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment issued and implemented the action plan for the remediation of sewage outlets entering the Yangtze River, and the traceability of sewage outlets in the Yangtze River and Bohai Sea was completed by more than 90%, which promoted the solution of more than 20,000 sewage direct discharge and disorderly discharge. Complete the investigation of sewage outlets in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River and 30 cities in 6 provinces of Fenhe River Basin.

　　In 2022, the discharge of major water pollutants in China will continue to decline, and the goal of improving the quality of water ecological environment will be successfully completed. The proportion of excellent surface water quality sections in China was 87.9%, up 3.0 percentage points year-on-year; The proportion of sections with inferior grade V water quality was 0.7%, down 0.5 percentage points year-on-year; For three consecutive years, the main stream of the Yangtze River reached Grade II water quality, and the main stream of the Yellow River reached Grade II water quality for the first time. Chemical oxygen demand and total ammonia nitrogen emissions decreased by 3.7% and 5.5% respectively.

　　Huang Xiaozeng said that although the water ecological environment protection has achieved remarkable results, it still faces many bottlenecks and challenges, and there are still many outstanding problems and shortcomings to be solved urgently. For example, it is difficult to fundamentally eliminate black and odorous water bodies, and the water ecological environment governance capacity needs to be improved. In some places, pollution interception and pollution control are still not in place, and the problems of cyanobacteria bloom and water ecological imbalance still exist.

　　This year, the country plans to complete the renovation of more than 800 large-scale rural black and odorous water bodies.

　　Regarding the problem of black and odorous water bodies, Huang Xiaozeng said that in recent years, all localities have taken responsibility and worked hard to speed up the short-board of urban environmental infrastructure. Judging from the current situation, the black and odorous water bodies in the built-up areas of cities (excluding States and leagues) at the prefecture level and above that were included in the supervision list of black and odorous water bodies in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" have been basically eliminated. He mentioned that in 2022, the elimination ratio of black and odorous water bodies in county-level cities successfully completed the annual target of 40%.

　　On the issue of black and odorous water bodies in rural areas, since the "14th Five-Year Plan", the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has organized all localities to carry out comprehensive investigations on black and odorous water bodies in rural areas, and has included more than 4,000 black and odorous water bodies in rural areas that have been strongly reflected by the masses and have a large area in the national supervision list, and implemented the policy of "posting accounts and canceling the numbers one by one". In 2023, the country plans to complete more than 800 large-scale rural black and odorous water bodies remediation, and related tasks have been broken down and distributed to various provinces.

　　He said that in 2022, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and the Ministry of Finance launched a pilot project for the treatment of black and odorous water bodies in rural areas, and awarded 200 million yuan, 100 million yuan and 50 million yuan to 15 cities across the country according to the project investment and the declared treatment area. In 2023, the guidance to the pilot areas will be strengthened, and all localities will be urged to further promote the treatment of black and odorous water bodies in rural areas through comprehensive and systematic control measures such as pollution control, dredging, water system connectivity and water ecological restoration. At the same time, this year, the two departments will continue to select and support basic and qualified areas and carry out pilot work.

　　230,000 sewage outlets have been investigated, and about one third of them have been rectified.

　　Regarding the supervision of sewage outlets, Huang Xiaozeng said that according to the dispatching data, 245,000 kilometers of river and lake coastlines have been investigated nationwide, and nearly 230,000 sewage outlets have been found. In the future, with the deepening of the investigation work, the number will surely continue to increase. So far, about one third of the 230,000 sewage outlets have been rectified. In recent years, ecological and environmental departments at all levels have approved more than 8,000 sewage outlets into the river and filed more than 900 sewage outlets into the sea.

　　He said that this year’s target tasks are the main streams and important tributaries of the seven river basins of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, the Haihe River, the Pearl River, the Songliao River and the Taihu Lake. Key lakes and key bays should fully complete the investigation of sewage outlets, and also complete 80% of the traceability and 30% of the remediation tasks.

　　Huang Xiaozeng mentioned that in these typical cases exposed by central environmental protection inspectors, it was found that the centralized collection and treatment rate of sewage in some places was even less than 10%. The places where this happens should be superficial articles on pollution control, and there are still some places where environmental infrastructure construction is lagging behind and sewage treatment capacity is insufficient.

　　"The problem of water pollution is in the water and the roots are on the shore." Huang Xiaozeng said that the reason is that some places have not established a correct view of political achievements, and pollution control "pays more attention to face than lining", which requires real money and silver investment, such as the construction of sewage pipe network and the upgrading of sewage treatment facilities. These aspects are inaction and slow action, and even some places still have the idea of "waiting for what is needed", and there is no fundamental determination to completely solve this problem. This is intolerable.

In the first quarter of this year, LI’s net loss continued to narrow.

On the evening of May 10th, LI released its financial report for the first quarter of 2022. The financial report shows that in the first quarter of this year, LI achieved revenue of 9.56 billion yuan, an increase of 167.5% year-on-year (compared with the same period of last year) and a decrease of 10% quarter-on-quarter; The net loss was 10.9 million yuan, and the loss narrowed by 97%.　

For the second quarter, ideally, the delivery volume is expected to be 21,000 to 24,000 vehicles, up 19.5% to 36.6% year-on-year; The total revenue was 6.16 billion to 7.04 billion yuan, up 22.3% to 39.8% year-on-year.

In the third quarter of this year, LI’s second product L9 will be available. At the earnings conference call, Li Xiang, CEO of LI, introduced LI’s product strategy in detail for the first time. He said that LI’s product portfolio is similar to that of iPhone, and it will launch an explosive product in the price range of 200,000-500,000 yuan and every 100,000 yuan, covering two technical routes: extended range and pure electricity. He also revealed that LI will launch its first medium-sized product of 200,000-300,000 yuan next year.

LI revenue data

LI delivery data

Operating cash flow is positive for eight consecutive quarters.

Financially, LI is still as steady as ever.

According to the specific financial data, LI’s vehicle sales revenue in the first quarter was 9.31 billion yuan, an increase of 168.7% compared with 3.46 billion yuan in the same period last year, mainly due to the increase in vehicles delivered in the first quarter of 2022; Compared with 10.38 billion yuan in the fourth quarter of last year, it decreased by 10.3%, mainly due to the seasonal impact of the Spring Festival holiday.

The ideal gross profit margin of vehicles has maintained a steady growth, reaching 22.4%, compared with 16.9% in the same period last year and 22.3% in the fourth quarter of last year. Although this car gross profit margin data is not as good as Tesla’s high gross profit margin level of about 30%, it is better than the car gross profit margin level of 10% of most traditional car companies.

Ideally, the year-on-year increase in vehicle gross profit margin was mainly due to the increase in the average selling price of the 2021 Li ONE launched in May last year.

As can be seen from the financial report of the past year, the price increase of the modified models in May last year has a significant pulling effect on the gross profit margin of automobiles in LI. On April 1st this year, the price of LI increased by 18,000 yuan, which will offset the recent raw material security problems, and LI is still expected to maintain a good gross profit margin level in the second quarter.

In terms of R&D investment, in the first quarter of 2022, LI’s R&D investment was 1.37 billion yuan, up 167.0% year-on-year and 11.7% quarter-on-quarter. Ideally, R&D investment has reached a record high, mainly due to the increase in R&D personnel and new vehicle R&D activities.

In the same period, LI’s sales, general and management expenses were 1.2 billion yuan, up 135.9% year-on-year.　

In terms of cash flow, its operating cash flow in the first quarter increased by 98% year on year to 1.83 billion yuan.

It is worth noting that this is the eighth consecutive quarter that LI has achieved positive operating cash flow. Among several new car companies, LI has always attached great importance to its financial stability and resilience, and Li Xiang himself has repeatedly emphasized the concept of "not making profits and never spending money blindly" in public.

LI cash flow data

By the end of the first quarter, LI’s cash reserves stood at 51.19 billion yuan. For the new power enterprises in the growth period, sufficient cash reserves also mean continuous R&D investment, marketing investment, sales and service network expansion ability.

Supply chain risks still exist, with the highest delivery volume of 24,000 vehicles in the second quarter.

Due to the uncertainty of supply chain and epidemic situation, the delivery guideline of LI in the second quarter is 21,000 to 24,000 vehicles.

In the past April, the automobile industry was affected by the epidemic, and the production base in LI, Jiangsu Province, was under heavy pressure. In April, a total of 4,167 Li ONE vehicles were delivered, down 62% from the previous month.

It is reported that LI Changzhou base is located in Changzhou, Jiangsu, and more than 80% of LI’s parts suppliers are located in the Yangtze River Delta region.

In the earnings conference call, LI co-founder and president Shen Yanan said, "The biggest risk in LI comes from the production situation of suppliers."

In response to supply chain risks, Shen Yanan said that Ideal hopes to certify more suppliers so that there will be more room for supply. At the same time, some short-term measures will be taken to deal with the current problems.

Regarding the question of whether the ideal will raise prices in the near future, Shen Yanan said that the price increase on April 1 has taken into account all foreseeable cost increases in a certain period of time in the future. "At this stage, there is no need to raise prices." However, he also mentioned that the company has strict monitoring measures in terms of cost fluctuations, and will continue to observe and follow up market demand to determine the selling price.

In addition, Shen Yanan added that the price increase on April 1 had a slight impact on sales in the first half of April, but since the second half of April, orders have resumed a good growth rate.

Benchmark Apple again: the product portfolio is like iPhone.

For the future product planning, Li Xiang said, first of all, two different power modes, extended range and pure electric, will adopt different body shapes. Extended range is suitable for SUV models, and pure electric will use "a brand-new shape". He said, "It is different from any product on the market today."

Secondly, different price strategies are adopted. In the price range of 200,000-500,000, there will be a heavyweight explosion product every 100,000 price range. At the same time, in every price range, there will be two power modes: extended range and pure electricity. Li Xiang thinks that the price of Li ONE is 300,000, which can be extended up and down quickly.

Interestingly, Li Xiang seems to have a "soft spot" for Apple when domestic car companies are bidding for old luxury cars.

For the above product combination scheme, Li Xiang compared it to "iPhone". Li Xiang explained, "iPhone is to launch products with different price points, such as iPhone12, iPhone12 Pro and iPhone12 Mini, with the help of a set of technical platforms, to accurately meet the needs of consumers."

At the 2021 earnings conference call in February, Li Xiang once said that the next five or ten years will focus on smart electric vehicles, and the ideal goal is to achieve Apple’s level in the field of smart electric vehicles ten years later.

In the third quarter of 2022, LI’s second model "Ideal L9" will be delivered. In addition, Li Xiang also revealed that next year, LI will launch the first medium-sized pure electric product with a price of 200,000-300,000 yuan. The appearance of this model will make LI truly face the corresponding price products of competitors such as Tesla, Weilai and Tucki.

Li Xiang once said that expansion does not mean spending more money, but spending more effectively. "We can give up profits, but to ensure a higher gross profit margin, as long as we ensure positive cash flow, we will invest all our gross profit in technology research and development and user service."

In the face of intensive research and development of new products in the next few years, whether the current model can support the rapid expansion of LI’s product portfolio will soon be revealed.

Or driven by performance, as of press time, LI stocks rose 7.8% to $20.38 per share.

1905 movie network news At 7: 00 pm local time in Venice on September 2, the main venue of Venice International Film Festival, Lido Island, the world’s first "Belt and Road" documentary film held an international promotion conference full of oriental characteristics, from Italy, France, Germany, Britain, the United States, Japan, Spain and other film companies, distribution company representatives, international producers, film critics, More than 200 people attended the film promotion meeting, including Italian Ansa news agency, French Agence France-Presse, British Reuters, China Xinhua News Agency, China Central Radio and Television General Station and other domestic and foreign media as well as the film creative team. Together, they witnessed the film’s first sound to the world.

For the first time, China paid attention to the global vision of human destiny and told the real power.

Screenwriter Lei Jianjun speaks.

　 　 The 3-minute preview of the international version of Common Destiny kicked off the promotion meeting. The trailer makes the audience feel a journey of exploration across all corners of the world, following the footsteps of time from East Africa, the birthplace of human beings, to Europe, from Xinjiang, China to Central Asia, and from the polar regions to South America. Beautiful pictures and real and simple characters left a deep impression on the guests. This notice is similar to the poster of "Silk Road" in Common Destiny. This poster combines China culture with contemporary design, and imagines the Silk Road on land and the Silk Road on the sea in the form of silk and ink. The strong Chinese style shines everywhere in Venice Film Festival, which makes the guests stop to take photos as a souvenir, and at the same time expresses great expectations for this film.

　 　 Mr. Guy Hibert, a famous British screenwriter and winner of four British Academy Awards, is the chief recommender, and he is also one of the screenwriters of this film. Mr. Guy Hibert recalled the original intention of the film in interesting language. He believes that "this film has made us see hope, as if it had brought a ray of light to the unsettled world." Besides being curious about the works, the guests at the scene also felt the tenacity and sincerity of China filmmakers.

　 　 Subsequently, the producer also exposed the highlights of three stories in the film for the first time: a Kenyan girl who loves painting decided to go to Nairobi alone in order to find a painting teacher, regardless of her family’s hair, and finally let her find a teacher and continue her painting dream by taking the Munne Railway jointly built by China and Nairobi. An old Spanish papermaking man went to China to find the birthplace of papermaking in the face of the disappearing handicraft papermaking. After seeing the conflict and inheritance of papermaking in Jingxian County, China, the old man decided to return to Spain and accept young people who wanted to follow him to continue the glory of this handicraft. The truck driver in China took his niece, a young and rebellious young literary woman, back to the ancient Silk Road. At first, they didn’t like each other. On this Silk Road, they experienced various difficulties and dangers, and they were gradually influenced and changed by each other.

playwrightGuy Hibert speaks.

　 　 Many people at the scene were moved by this short clip, and they all said: This is a real and powerful story. Chinese’s way of reading the world is very clever, and his emotional resonance is better than a thousand words. Jacques Noel, a French international film publisher, said: "This is a film that belongs to all mankind. Its story direction and emotional expression make me feel very cordial, regardless of class, region or race. This is a problem that we human beings have to face together today, and how we will go to tomorrow together."　

Breaking barriers, promoting multicultural integration, sharing common feelings and dreams and creating Common Destiny

Martin Campbell speaks.

　 　 A heavyweight guest was also invited to the promotion meeting — — World famous director martin campbell. Mr Martin is the most successful director in the "007" series, and his films are popular all over the world. Mr. Martin said, "My films are for people all over the world to enjoy, and they are also shot all over the world. Many of them are about collisions and conflicts. Today, I saw a film that is also appreciated by the world, but it is about cooperation between different civilizations. They are the stories of ordinary people, who began to work hard to realize what they have always dreamed of doing. This film is inspiring and a worldwide theme, which will attract audiences all over the world. "

　 　 As one of the screenwriters of this film, Lei Jianjun, a professor at Tsinghua University School of Journalism and Communication, also interpreted this film from the perspective of scholars. "Today, the development of science and technology and society makes people more closely compared with any time, and at the same time, we are facing more and more serious problems than any time. Therefore, we make such a documentary "Common Destiny", so that everyone can perceive the common feelings and dreams of human beings through the lives of ordinary people. These real people tell us with their real stories that human society with diverse cultures has both common feelings and common destiny, and cooperation is our future. "　

Spanish papermaking old man speaks

　 　 Jiangtao Qu, a representative of the veteran documentary director group who won the Oscar documentary award, the Silk Road Film Festival documentary award and the Emmy award, told the story about the hardships in the creative process: a team of 300 people traveled 300,000 kilometers in two years, and experienced the heat, cold, disease, hunger, language, war and even ethnic differences. However, the entire creative team did not give up and still insisted on finding the most authentic voice in the world. At the promotion meeting, the two protagonists in the film: the Spanish paper-making old man and the rebellious literary young woman on the Silk Road were invited to the scene to share the stories behind the scenes with the guests. Together with the organizers, the Spanish elderly prepared a beautiful scroll made of hand-made paper for each guest present, symbolizing the blending of Chinese and Western cultures. An opera derived from the story of a truck driver pushed the promotion meeting to a climax. This opera has always been a dream of young women in literature and art. On that day, the organizer fulfilled her wish for this persistent and lonely girl and moved the opera to the Venice promotion meeting. The story of the opera and the story of the movie have the same concept: the whale at 52 Hz is lonely, but there is always a person or a voice in the world that will resonate with you, perhaps separated from Wan Li, but they have the same mind and are linked by fate.

　 　 The guests at the scene were deeply moved by the real emotional expressions of the two protagonists, and the China filmmakers moved the audience in Venice in an ingenious way. Foreign media have said that "real power, feelings beyond national boundaries, and endless charm." Liu Jun, the representative of the producer and deputy general manager of Xindingming Film and Television Investment, said: "It is the common wish of me and my partners to tell the story of China to the world and tell the story of the world to China. This time, it is an attempt for us to cooperate with the world-class team. I hope this is a beginning and opens the way for our common future."

　 　 At the end of the promotion meeting, all the guests present collected the brochure of Common Film without exception, because they were all moved by a sentence in the brochure, which is also the slogan of the film: This is your story, my story, yesterday’s story, today’s story, and even more, our story of moving towards tomorrow together.　

Publishers at home and abroad gather together

　 　 The film "Common Destiny" was jointly produced by Silk Road Culture Communication and Xindingming Film and Television Investment, supported by Beijing Film and Television Publishing and Creation Fund, and coordinated by China Council. The creative team consists of senior film and documentary creators from China, the United States, Britain and other countries.
