Summary
Machine summaryWriting in a Military Science and Technology special issue, PLA General Li Qiaoming argues that the defense research community has systematically undervalued basic research by treating it as opposed to applied work, and calls on military scientists to adopt a long-term cultivation mindset (久久为功, 'persevere over the long haul for benefits that serve the long term') rather than chasing near-term mission deliverables. The piece frames 卡脖子 ('chokepoint') technology gaps not as procurement or engineering failures but as consequences of neglected foundational theory — a diagnosis that fits a broader institutional push, visible across PLA-affiliated outlets since roughly 2021, to redirect research incentives toward original innovation. This is standard political-guidance content aimed at shaping research culture; its value is as a record of how senior PLA figures are framing the basic-versus-applied tension for the scientific workforce, not as evidence of a specific programmatic or budgetary shift.

Source record久久为功，深耕基础研究 ■李巧明 长期以来，不少人对基础研究存在认知偏差，简单地将其等同于科学家的纯理论研究，认为其远离实践、见效缓慢，而更加重视紧贴任务、破解难题的应用攻关，人为地将基础研究与应用研究割裂对立。这种看法并不科学。界定一项研究是否属于基础研究，关键在于它能否透过外在现象，揭示事物内在的原理与运行机制。基础研究不是脱离实践的空中楼阁。现实难题的攻坚突破，永远离不开底层规律的支撑引领。 法国微生物学家巴斯德的科研实践，为我们正确认识基础研究提供了深刻启示。1865年，法国养蚕业遭遇毁灭性疫病冲击，大批蚕体染病死亡。受政府委托，巴斯德前往法国南部展开调查。彼时，他深耕化学领域，对养蚕几乎一无所知，政府看重的正是他善于从微观入手、探究事物底层机理的科研能力。巴斯德扎根简陋的实验场地，借助显微镜开展对照试验、梳理病害规律。历经潜心攻关，他成功探明了病菌传播的机理，创建“母蛾镜检法”，高效遏制了疫情。通过追问微生物与疾病的内在关联，他成功证实了微生物致病原理，为后续疫苗研发和现代防疫体系构建筑牢了核心理论根基。 这一事例正是“应用激发基础研究”的生动实践。始于紧迫的现实应用难题，研究者并未止步于“快速治病”的表层目标，而是深挖现象背后的科学本质。 放到军事科研领域，道理同样如此。当今世界新军事革命加速演进，大国军事科技竞争日趋激烈，前沿技术迭代速度持续加快。军事领域的竞争，早已从单一装备、单一技术的比拼，转向底层基础、核心机理、原始创新的较量。越是关键领域、核心技术，越无法依赖从外部引进。很多“卡脖子”难题，表面看是装备性能不足、系统能力短板，根源却在于基础理论不清、底层机理不明。没有基础研究的持续深耕，应用创新就是无源之水、无本之木。 深耕军事基础研究，需要定力，更需要担当。广大军事科研工作者应摒弃浮躁功利心态，树立“久久为功、利在长远”的科研理念，甘于坐冷板凳、啃硬骨头，聚焦军事领域短板弱项，在基础理论、底层机理上持续深耕。科研单位也应完善科研评价激励机制，包容基础研究的试错过程，鼓励长期深耕、持续攻关，为基础研究人才搭建成长平台、提供坚实保障。 九层之台，起于累土；千里之行，始于足下。基础研究没有捷径可走，唯有脚踏实地、潜心耕耘，才能为军事科技自主创新注入不竭动力，为强军事业高质量发展、决胜未来战场厚积科技底气。
