菲尔兹奖是全球数学领域的至高荣誉,被誉为“数学界的诺贝尔奖”。前不久,中国籍学者王虹、邓煜摘得这一桂冠,实现我国在该奖项上的历史性重大突破。耀眼荣耀的背后,是经年累月的沉潜坚守与默默耕耘。两位青年学者深耕数学难题,在学术荒原潜心钻研、反复推演,用漫长寂寞的坚守换来了举世瞩目的成就。这一振奋人心的历史性突破,生动印证了一个朴素而深刻的道理,基础研究作为整个科学体系的源头,其重大原始创新绝非一蹴而就之事,而是久久为功的厚积薄发。新征程上,加快科技自立自强,充分发挥科技对我军建设战略支撑作用,必须深耕基础研究这片沃土,积极引导广大科研工作者甘于寂寞、潜心治学,不断完善制度保障、浓厚创新氛围,共同把基础研究的“冷板凳”坐热。 当前,新一轮科技革命和产业变革加速突破,全球科技竞争更加聚焦基础前沿领域,原创性颠覆性创新的重要性日益凸显。纵观人类军事史,军事科研是“思想的探险”,是“寂静战场的博弈”,基础研究的创新与战争胜负关联紧密。在基础研究上取得的突破,往往能够催生出颠覆性技术,孕育出新质战斗力,最终转化为战场上的制胜优势。“十五五”时期是科技强国建设的关键攻坚期,也是高质量推进国防和军队现代化的关键阶段。习主席强调,我们要抓住机遇、应对挑战,切实把基础研究工作摆上重要日程,持续抓下去,不断抓出新成效。前进道路上,我们必须正视基础研究的“冷”,化解基础研究的“难”,下气力坐热基础研究的“冷板凳”,为赢得未来战争主动权提供坚实科技支撑。 坐热基础研究的“冷板凳”,关键在涵养潜心向战、久久为功的科研定力。基础研究是寂寞清苦的长线事业,最是磨砺心性。研究攻关周期漫长、成果积淀缓慢,格外考验科研工作者的恒心韧劲;创新探索前路未知、试错常态相伴,更需要科研工作者坚守初心、不惧挫折。88岁的贲德院士,是我国机载脉冲多普勒雷达技术的奠基者、相控阵雷达技术的主要开创者、天基监视雷达技术的先行者。他以“择一事、终一生”的倾心专注,守护国家发展和安全,正是科研工作者沉心笃行的鲜活写照。面对“十年磨一剑”的基础研究,广大科研工作者既要心怀“等不起”的紧迫感、“坐不住”的使命感、“慢不得”的危机感,紧盯军事科技前沿、紧扣备战打仗现实需求,勇闯基础研究“无人区”,聚力实现“从0到1”的原创性突破;也要涵养“坐得下”的觉悟、“坐得稳”的素质和“急不得”的理性,坚定科技报国初心使命,不困于世俗的功利评判,不盲从一时的行业热度,排除一切干扰,集中全部精力,在日积月累中进军时代前沿、攀上科技高峰。 坐热基础研究的“冷板凳”,还须营造潜心治学、安心攻坚的创新生态。科研工作者的坚守需要制度呵护,基础研究的深耕需要环境托举。基础研究的竞争,比拼的不只是人才本身的能力素质,更是人才土壤、制度环境的综合较量。只有让潜心研究者有舞台、有奔头、有未来,才能让他们愿意坐、敢于坐、坐得稳基础研究这张“冷板凳”。一方面,基础研究之所以“冷”,本质是源于其探索未知的客观属性,是长期以来科研领域亟待破解的发展堵点。这就要求我们必须完善分类评价机制,下大气力“破四唯”,立起重原创、重长远、重实战的价值导向,不简单用短期产出评判研究价值,不因一时没有成果否定研究价值,给长周期、非共识、高风险的研究预留足够空间;健全容错纠错机制,包容科研探索中的试错失误,卸下科研工作者的思想包袱,支持他们放开创新手脚,向最基础、最棘手的难题心无旁骛地持续冲锋;科学优化资源配置,对冷门学科、长线课题保持稳定扶持,以持续投入厚植创新土壤。另一方面,基础研究是一场长跑接力,需要一代代科技人接续奋斗。青年科技人才作为最具创新活力的群体,是基础研究的生力军。要给他们压担子、架梯子、搭台子,把他们放到科研一线磨砺,托举他们挑大梁、当主角,持续充盈创新活力,让“冷板凳”上始终后继有人。 菲尔兹奖的历史性突破,见证了中国基础研究的长足进步,也让我们看清了深耕源头创新的时代价值。只要我们持续涵养潜心治学的科研初心,完善固本培元的制度体系,让越来越多的科研工作者愿意扎根基础研究,必能催生更多原始创新、重大突破,切实为科技强军筑牢地基。 (作者单位:国防大学习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想研究中心)

Summary

Machine summary

A commentary by National Defense University's Research Center for Xi Jinping Thought argues that PLA scientific researchers must embrace long-cycle basic research — framed through the 冷板凳 ('cold bench') metaphor — to generate the 新质战斗力 (new-quality combat capabilities) needed to win future wars, citing the Fields Medal wins by Wang Hong and Deng Yu and the career of airborne pulse Doppler and phased-array radar pioneer Academician Ben De as models. The piece documents how NDU is applying civilian science-policy language ('break the four onlys,' fault-tolerance mechanisms, differentiated evaluation) to the PLA research bureaucracy, extending a pattern in which Xi-era institutional reform rhetoric is adapted into military S&T governance. The framing points to persistent tension between short-term output pressure on PLA researchers and the institution's stated need for foundational, high-risk, long-horizon work — a structural problem the article names but whose actual resolution within PLA research management remains unaddressed here.
