（来源：光明日报） 转自：光明日报 在青海省海西蒙古族藏族自治州茫崖市冷湖镇的戈壁滩上，有一座"英雄地中四井"纪念碑，碑前矗 立的老式抽油机已静止多年。 1958年，这里原油喷涌，拉开了冷湖油田作为我国当时四大油田之一的序幕。在此后的20年里，数 万石油大军会聚于此，车辆来往不息，热闹非凡。 然而，随着资源逐渐枯竭，这座因石油而兴的城镇迅速衰落。冷湖面临着许多资源型城镇共同的困 境：资源枯竭后，出路何在？ "就像一座空城。"2015年，时任海西州住房和城乡建设局副局长的田才让调任冷湖时，这里常住人 口最少时不到300人，大量楼房空置，街道空旷。 当时的田才让只有一个念头："不能眼看着冷湖消失在我们手里。"他和同事们仔细梳理了当地所有 的资源与条件后，将希望寄托于发展旅游业。 于是，一场冷湖的转型探索，由此开始…… 拯救冷湖于消失边缘 随着冷湖台址获得国际认可，各大科研机构和高校的望远镜项目纷至沓来。如今已有12家单位14个 项目45台望远镜在冷湖天文观测基地落地建设，投资额达30亿元。其中，在已建成的33台望远镜中，墨 子巡天望远镜、太阳磁场精确测量中红外观测系统等5台投入科学观测，多应用巡天望远镜阵等27台 ...

Core Insights - An international team from Japan's RIKEN, the University of Tokyo, and the University of Barcelona has developed the first galaxy model capable of tracking the evolution of over 100 billion stars, achieving a scale 100 times greater than previous models [1][2] - Traditional models were limited to simulating systems of up to 1 billion solar masses, while the Milky Way contains over 100 billion stars, leading to challenges in accurately representing astronomical events [1] - The new model combines deep learning with traditional physical simulations, allowing for significant reductions in computation time for simulating the evolution of the galaxy [2] Summary by Sections - **Model Development** - The new galaxy model can track the evolution of over 100 billion stars, surpassing previous models by a factor of 100 [1] - Previous models could only simulate systems up to 1 billion solar masses, which limited their accuracy in representing the Milky Way [1] - **Computational Efficiency** - The new approach reduces the time required for simulating a million years of evolution to just 2.78 hours, and a billion years to 115 days [2] - Traditional simulations required 315 hours for a million years and 36 years for a billion years, highlighting the efficiency of the new model [1][2] - **Technological Innovation** - The integration of deep learning with traditional simulations marks a significant advancement, moving beyond mere pattern recognition to becoming a genuine scientific discovery tool [2] - The AI system was trained on high-resolution supernova simulation data to predict the movement of interstellar gas following supernova explosions [1]

Core Insights - The town of Lenghu in Qinghai Province has transformed from an industrial site reliant on oil to a vibrant tourist destination, leveraging its unique geographical features for stargazing and sci-fi themed tourism [1][2] - The establishment of the Lenghu Astronomical Observation Base has positioned it as one of Asia's largest optical astronomy research facilities, attracting numerous scientific institutions and enhancing China's capabilities in optical astronomy [2] Group 1: Tourism Development - Lenghu has developed various tourism offerings, including astronomical science tours, natural scenery tours, cultural landscape tours, and salt lake industrial tours, leading to high demand for local accommodations and restaurants during peak seasons [1] - The unique geological features, such as the Heidushan and Yadan landforms, have become popular attractions, drawing visitors and photographers alike [1] Group 2: Scientific and Cultural Initiatives - The Lenghu Astronomical Observation Base has attracted 12 research institutions and 45 telescopes, enhancing its status as a premier astronomical site [2] - The town hosts educational programs like summer camps that engage children in hands-on activities related to space science, fostering interest in aerospace technology [2] - The Cold Lake Science Fiction Literature Award has established Lenghu as a new hub for sci-fi writing, inspiring authors with its stunning night sky [2]
