Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 29 (Reporters Jining, Zhang Xiao, Chen Xu) On the 125℃ heating table, a drop of water fell on it and evaporated instantly. But after laying a layer of 0.9 mm thick nanoporous thermal insulation, it will only feel a little warm when touched by hand.

The ski helmet is equipped with high technology, which not only ensures safety, but also can listen to music, answer calls, and have the functions of helping alarms; the clothing uses polar bionic technology fabrics, which are more suitable for the needs of sports scenarios such as hiking and climbing in complex environments.

In recent days, reporters have found at the 2025 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Meeting that new technologies not only deeply empower thousands of industries, but also fly into the "ordinary people's homes", bringing many new changes to "food, clothing, housing and transportation".

At the Zhongguancun National Independent Innovation Demonstration Zone Conference Center, many guests gathered in front of the "Planetary Ring" unmanned drink station waiting for "received meal". Compared with traditional unmanned cabinets that directly sell finished beverages, this equipment focuses on the on-site production and sale of beverages. Users click on the interactive large screen, which supports personalized selection of raw materials such as juice, coffee, tea, etc., determining sugar addition, hot and cold types, etc. The production time is only more than 1 minute.

"This unmanned beverage station developed based on flexible manufacturing technology is promoting traditional unmanned retail to leap from 'with or not' to 'good'." Zeng Hui, project manager of Beijing Yiqing Research Institute Co., Ltd., said that with the deep integration of AI algorithms and intelligent hardware, new unmanned devices not only "understand you better", but also build consumer models that can assist in the development of more new products.

In recent times, building a "good house" that meets the people's high-quality living needs has become a hot topic. "Good houses" cannot be separated from "good technology", and smart houses have also attracted much attention at this annual meeting. In the Xiaomi Group exhibition area, lights can be automatically sensed, curtains can be voice controlled, temperature and humidity can be intelligently adjusted, and real-time monitoring. The "Internet of Everything" indoor environment seems to create a "care housekeeper" for residents.

In the Intelligent Connected New Energy Vehicle Exhibition Area, three new cars produced in Beijing are displayed. Although they are aimed at different customer groups for home, sports and business, the on-board smart driving functions are all "standard". This year, intelligent driving technology is expected to be upgraded again. Li Xiang, chairman and CEO of Ideal Auto, said that the automobile industry has officially begun a "new chapter" of the transformation from a simple means of transportation to an artificial intelligence terminal in the era of intelligence.

Looking from the window of the Zhongguancun Forum Annual Meeting, the acceleration button has been pressed in the future. Technology is pouring from laboratories to streets and alleys - intelligent driving and unmanned delivery are continuously improved, accelerating the construction of China's smart circulation system; biotechnology and environmental technology are rapidly evolving, allowing agriculture to embark on the "fast lane" of harvest and realize the dining table revolution.

At the same time, zero-carbon architecture and smart home brains make home smarter and more environmentally friendly, and housing is evolving from physical space to digital life entrances; smart wear weaves air conditioners into clothes, redefining the "second skin". Perhaps in less than ten years, these changes will become daily life like today's smartphones.
