The time is further ahead. From April 16 to 18 this year, with the theme of "Innovation Foreseeing 6G Future", the 2024 Global 6G Technology Conference organized by Future Mobile Communications Forum and Purple Mountain Laboratory was held in Nanjing. As one of the organizers, Purple Mountain Laboratory displayed some of its achievements, including the 6G end-to-end integrated test platform, 6G cell-free radio access network system, and the world's first 6G integrated laboratory built in China.
At the beginning of 2022, Zijinshan Laboratory completed the world's first 6G photonic terahertz real-time wireless transmission communication experiment, and at the end of 2023 realized a real-time transmission rate of 1Tbps, once again refreshing the world's highest real-time transmission record in the field of terahertz wireless communication, and the transmission capacity has been enhanced by 100 times compared with 5G.Why is this ace lab so rewarding?
"The care of the General Secretary is a strong motivation for us to carry out technical research." Led by You Xiao Hu, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and chief scientist of the Zijinshan Laboratory, team members endeavor to race against time. Everyone breaks down the target task into monthly and weekly, riveting and grasping the time to carry out technical research.
"The next three to four years will be the most critical period for the development of 6G." You Shohu said, "We will work harder to live up to the General Secretary's expectations of us."
Joint! Thousands of Teams Collaborate on Research

General Secretary Xi Jinping always puts research talents in his heart, which impresses all the scientific and technical staff of Zijinshan Laboratory.
Liu Yunjie, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the chief scientist of the Purple Mountain Laboratory, said that when General Secretary Xi Jinping exchanged views with him on Dec. 13, 2014, he asked with concern: "Has the team come through?" Last July, he reported to the General Secretary: the Purple Mountain Laboratory has brought together a research team of more than 1,000 people.
In the laboratory, the presence of scientific researchers both gray hair of the older generation, but also the stature of the "70", "80", and many "90". It is reported thatAt present, more than 40% of the team's scientific researchers are doctors, of which there are more than 20 postdoctoral fellows in the station, 4 academicians of the two academies, and more than 70 high-end talents at national and provincial levels.In the case of communication technology, for example, three generations of R&D talents, including You Xiao Hu, have been concentrated.
Liu Yunjie introduced: "Our approach is to keep people by their career, to provide them with an innovation platform that can do the right thing, can do great things, and can produce results, and to motivate more and more people with ideals and aspirations and a sense of mission to get together. In addition, we have also developed a better incentive mechanism to encourage the scientific research results to land and produce economic benefits, we put 90% of the proceeds of scientific research results for the benefit of the team, which greatly enhances their innovation vitality and enthusiasm."
Taking the 6G field as an example, as the next generation of mobile communication technology, which is a strategic high point of the future competition among the big powers, at the end of 2018, Purple Mountain Laboratory, relying on Southeast University, jointly built the Purple Mountain Laboratory 6G key technology research team. The team is led by the chief scientist, with young researchers as the main body, in the face of fierce competition and the challenge of technological "no man's land", actively play the role of the main force and commando, bravely undertake the mission, the courage to climb the peak, and race against time to carry out technological research.
On April 29, the results of the 28th China Youth May 4th Medal were announced, and the 6G key technology research team of the Purple Mountain Laboratory was awarded the 28th "China Youth May 4th Medal Collective", which became the first youth collective to be awarded since the establishment of the Purple Mountain Laboratory.
"Subsequently, the laboratory will continue to strengthen the construction of the talent team, especially to strengthen the attraction and cultivation of young leaders, to help the laboratory research and innovation of high-quality development." You Xiao Hu said.Moving Forward! Remembering the mission to make new achievements
