[Phenomenon] In January this year, after the 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Dingri County, Shigatse City, Xizang Autonomous Region, 192000 Chinese mobile users in Shigatse City received the Beidou SMS emergency service for free. After enabling this feature on models that support Beidou SMS, users can send up to 20 characters of SMS without signal coverage, and select to send their own positioning information with a positioning accuracy of up to 10 meters. Not long ago, the new generation of Beidou civilian short message products developed by the Beidou team of the National University of Defense Technology was released, which is expected to further promote the popularization of Beidou short message applications in China. 【 Comment 】 Beidou SMS is a communication service that relies on the Beidou short message function. Nowadays, more and more smartphones are equipped with this function. Whether in the heart of a desert or in the rugged mountains, or in emergency situations where major natural disasters cause ground communication networks to collapse, Beidou short messages can ensure smooth communication. This is a vivid example of technological achievements entering production and life, empowering people to improve their livelihoods. The Beidou system is the world's first satellite navigation system with global short message communication service capabilities. Behind its powerful functions, it embodies the hard work and efforts of a large number of researchers. At the beginning of its construction, the Beidou-1 system adopted an active positioning system and initially had satellite communication capabilities. On this basis, the Beidou-2 system has undergone a series of optimizations and expansions, greatly improving the efficiency of short message communication and continuously enhancing its security protection capabilities. After the completion of the Beidou-3 system, the short message function has made a leap forward, not only possessing multimedia information transmission capabilities, but also meeting the needs of a large number of users worldwide for simultaneous short message communication. From the initial conception, to the difficult exploration and research, and now widely used in emergency rescue, offshore fishing and other fields, the development process of Beidou short message is full of challenges and breakthroughs, bringing many inspirations and reflections. The key to creating technology from scratch lies in the determination to innovate and the courage to take the path that others have not taken. At the beginning of the construction of Beidou, there were already mature satellite navigation systems in the world, but none of them had short message function. Chinese researchers have focused on the long-term and cleverly added this function by utilizing the "technological surplus" of satellites. Based on this, they have continued to overcome technical difficulties and continuously improve system performance, ultimately achieving advanced technology that leads the world. The industry has grown from small to large, and the key is to leverage the advantages of the industrial chain and gather strength together. The introduction of Beidou short messages into mobile phones has overcome difficulties such as terminal miniaturization and chipization, with a chip cost of only about 10 yuan. Behind this is the collaborative efforts of related industries such as chips, boards, and terminals. Nowadays, there are more than 200 research and development and production enterprises of Beidou-3 regional short message communication terminals above a certain scale in China, and the improvement of relevant national standards has helped short message achieve "long-term development". An important measure of the social value of technological achievements is whether they truly enhance people's well-being. In the field of electricity, using Beidou short message to solve the problem of signal blind spots in distribution networks has significantly improved the efficiency of fault handling; In the field of civil aviation, a general aviation Beidou flight dynamic information service platform that integrates functions such as Beidou short messages demonstrates the potential to serve the development of low altitude economy; More than 300000 fishing boats and 3 million commercial vehicles are equipped with Beidou short message communication terminal equipment, so that safe navigation and safe travel are more guaranteed... Scientific and technological achievements have entered thousands of households and served thousands of industries, demonstrating the value orientation of "Chinese path to modernization, people's livelihood is big". The role of a major country's heavy machinery in driving industrial transformation and enhancing the country's core competitiveness is explicit, while many implicit and potential values will gradually emerge and integrate into the fabric of people's livelihoods over time. On the journey of climbing the world's technological peak and pursuing dreams, stars, and oceans, every effort and achievement is precious and will ultimately add momentum to the economy and benefit the people.
