China's labor productivity is only 1/40 of that of developed countries. Once science and technology are transformed into productive forces, it will greatly improve production efficiency, thus promoting the rapid development of the economy. Its role far exceeds the role of capital and labor in economic transformation.

2. Military combat effectiveness

In today's world, peace and development are the themes of the times. However, the "cold war" mentality still exists, and hegemonism and power politics are still the main sources that threaten world peace and stability. Scientific and technological strength has become the same choice for modern countries.

3. Political influence

The level of modern science and technology has become a bargaining chip in international political struggle and a symbol of great power status. Deng Xiaoping once pointed out: "If China didn't have atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs and satellites from the 1960s, it wouldn't have become a big country with great influence, and it wouldn't have its current international status."

4. Social progress

The productivity of science and technology has created a highly developed material civilization, but the improper use of science and technology has caused extremely serious environmental problems around the world.

5, benefit mankind

The goal and task of science is to benefit mankind and get rid of ignorance and superstition. In the interaction with social progress, the guiding role of science in practice is constantly strengthened, and the scientific system itself is also growing. It is the natural demand of human beings and has a more and more significant impact on human history.
