At 9 a.m. on Sept. 21, 2017, the newest fully loaded high-speed train Fuxing left Beijing for Shanghai. It travelled at a speed of 350km/h and is now one of the fastest trains in the world. In 2021, another new line opened in northeastern China. The latest smart technology was adopted in building the line, with drones used to collect and analyse data. It benefits the residents living along the railway in the Bejing-Tianjin-Hebei region. It also plays an important role in the revitalisation of northeastern China, which used to be an important heavy industry base. Since the first high-speed line was put to use in 2008, the network has expanded to 38,000 km, making it the longest in the world. The high-speed train has changed the way people travel as well as their lifestyles. 淡墨水字帖 danmoshui.com1 / 1 Space Technology Space technology is closely related to our everyday lives. This is one of the benefits of our space exploration programmes. The Space Station of China has played an important role and designed many products, such as special cooling waistcoats designed with advanced spacesuit technology. Nurses and doctors can wear such anti-virus uniforms and don't have to suffer from high temperatures. The development of spacesuits has wider use in other fields. Other technologies developed for space exploration are now a feature of modern life. For example, digital cameras in the 1960s later were developed into consumer products. Satellite telecommunication has provided more than 100 kinds of services to human beings and thereby has improved such areas as phone messages, data transmission, televised education, mobile telecommunications, rescue operations and medical data sharing.
