Science City

Mianyang Science City, also known as the Science and Technology Museum of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Physics, is located on the bank of the Fujiang River in Mianyang City. It is a place for patriotism education, national defense education and popular science education. China Academy of Engineering Physics enjoys the reputation of "national treasure", and Mianyang is called "Science City" because of China Academy of Engineering Physics. The Science and Technology Museum is the only nuclear science and technology museum in the country, which was officially opened to the public on October 27, 1998. The museum takes the development history of my country's nuclear weapons as the main line, looks around the world's high-tech fields, uses pictures, models, real objects, audio and video, etc., to vividly introduce the development and utilization of nuclear energy, the principles of nuclear weapons, laser weapons, high-power microwave weapons and other basics The concept and development prospects show the spirit of the founders of the Chinese Academy of Sciences with hard work, selfless dedication, and glory for the country. The theme of the second exhibition hall of the Science and Technology Museum is an aluminum pan that has been smashed, and a worn blue cotton coat that was used by scientists in the remote Qinghai base in the early 1960s. The "Space Entertainment Wind Tunnel" of Sichuan Mianyang Science and Technology Museum has been opened to the outside world. The experience of high technology and the wonder of spacewalking has become the highlight of this tourism and entertainment project. Its shape is like the return capsule of a spacecraft. Entering the transparent "space capsule" with a height of 6.5 meters and an inner diameter of 3.6 meters, the variable frequency speed regulation motor with a power of 1500 kilowatts starts, and the fan blades with a diameter of 5.4 meters send strong wind from the bottom. Floating into the "space", tourists can freely rotate, float in the air, or walk by adjusting the posture and angle of the torso, hands and feet. You can not only experience the wonderful feeling of spacewalking, but also intuitively understand the knowledge of aerodynamics and wind tunnel experimental technology.
