The Chengdu Universiade is the first university games supported by 5G technology. We know that a satellite called Dayun was sent into space last year. Can you brief us on other smart elements and high-tech means related to the Universiade? How will they make the preparation for the games smarter and make the games fairer and more just? Thank you.
Wang Fengchao:
Thank you for your questions. Taking the Universiade venues as an example, there are three venues at Dong'an Lake Sports Park, including a multi-purpose gymnasium, an aquatics center, and a comprehensive ball games gymnasium. The "BIM technology + smart construction site" cockpit system was adopted throughout their construction in order to realize the smart construction of these large-scale venues, resulting in intensive and compact space structure, improved efficiency, and reduced energy. The multifunctional use of venues has been realized, which means that we can convert an ice hockey rink to a basketball court in 4 to 6 hours. Fenghuangshan Sports Park has been equipped with an intelligent navigation system and an intelligent security assistance service system to provide indoor positioning navigation, real-time positioning guidance navigation, and one-click rescue services.
At the same time, we will install smart robots at key venues, such as the special waiter Rongbao, named after the Games' mascot, which is the first robot in the world to feature emergency handling functions. It's equipped with a first-aid kit, defibrillator, and other medical tools and offers services like face identification, temperature measurement, and multi-language translation.
We also developed an app entitled "Chengdu FISU Games" to offer three kinds of services, namely, competition participation, competition watching, and life services. The competition participation sector can provide a VR guide to the Universiade Village, realize activity appointments, and publish catering, transportation, and weather information. The competition watching sector includes the history of the Universiade as well as an introduction to competition items and the schedule, ticket purchases, competition schedule and results consultation, and live broadcasts of key events. The life service sector includes an online tour of Chengdu city, financial services, online shopping, and departure tax refund services. Thank you.
