Keywords: harmonious society; Social system operation; Scientific and technological innovation; As the "first productive force", science and technology bears the value of harmonious social development and is the core driving force for the operation of a harmonious social system. To build a harmonious socialist society, we must further understand the great significance of scientific and technological development in building a harmonious society, vigorously promote scientific and technological progress and innovation, and give play to the key role of science and technology in building a harmonious socialist society. 1 Promoting comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable social and economic development: the economic value of science and technology. Contemporary science and technology provide mankind with the potential and means to fully and profoundly understand nature. High-tech is the result of human understanding of the laws of nature and the highest achievement of human creative thinking. With the help of high-tech instruments and means, human beings can understand nature more accurately from macro and micro, further expand their cognitive horizons, grasp the objective laws of nature and benefit mankind. For example, the successful development of a large radio astronomical telescope can enable people to see billions of light-years or even more distant space, thus providing convenience for exploring the mysteries of space that humans do not know. The wide application of high technology will inevitably have an immeasurable and profound impact on people's concepts and living habits, thus accelerating the development of a harmonious society. Using contemporary science and technology, we can constantly expand the object and content of human labor, thus solving the problem of increasingly scarce resources and energy in the process of building a harmonious society. Since the industrial revolution, due to global problems, especially the increasing shortage of resources and energy, the utilization of resources and energy has been questioned by people, which has aroused deep concern in the world. Obviously, it is too extravagant to fantasize about going back to the past and yearning for modern human society. Therefore, a more realistic attitude is to use modern high technology, constantly seek and develop new resources and energy, constantly improve the utilization rate of existing resources and energy, and save resources and energy. By seeking and developing new resources and energy, we will constantly change the existing resource structure and energy structure. Use science and technology to minimize the input of energy and materials, and at the same time make the by-products produced in the production process can be reused. The development of contemporary scientific research shows that the fusion reactor in the next century may become the ultimate energy source, thus solving the energy crisis in the development of human society. Nanotechnology will cause a new industrial revolution and bring human society into a new stage of development. Now, science and technology are approaching the limit of nature step by step, and great progress has been made in the research of ultra-high temperature, ultra-low temperature, ultra-vacuum, superconductivity, ultra-strong magnetic field and complete weightlessness. The progress of space technology and ocean development technology indicates that mankind will enter the era of cosmic factory in 2 1 century and explore the fields of human production and life indefinitely. 2. Promoting the coordinated development between man and nature: the ecological value of science and technology. Harmony between man and nature is an important part of building a harmonious socialist society. Man is the subject of science and technology. Science and technology is the intermediary between man and nature, and it is also the weapon that human beings act on nature. Scientific and technological progress and innovation are important guarantees to realize the harmony between man and nature. "Science and technology poverty" will not only lead to material poverty, but also lead to mental poverty, which will lead to ignorance and superstition. Therefore, scientific and technological progress and innovation are not only the key factors of productivity development, but also the important factors of social and cultural development. It should be emphasized that science and technology is a "double-edged sword", which not only brings benefits to mankind, but also leads to an increasingly serious global ecological crisis due to human abuse of science and technology. Therefore, while using the development of science and technology to benefit mankind, we should try our best to reduce its negative effects. Therefore, we should develop "safety technologies", that is, technologies that do not pollute the natural environment, destroy the ecological balance, and cause consumption alienation and large-scale unemployment, such as wind energy, solar energy, and biological resources development technologies. At the same time, through the accumulation of scientific knowledge, we should enhance people's awareness of science and technology and environment, broaden people's horizons, enlighten people's minds and promote the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. Fortunately, "safety technology" has gradually become the mainstream of contemporary scientific and technological development. Especially since the 20th century, science and technology have developed to a modern level, and a large number of modern scientific theories have emerged, including nuclear energy science and technology, computer science and technology, semiconductor science and technology, laser science and technology, optical fiber science and technology, space science and technology, environmental science and technology, material science and technology and modern biological high technology based on molecular biology. These high and new technologies have influenced human beings and their society with their own values and functions, and have also played a huge positive role in the coordinated development between man and nature. Microelectronics technology can greatly reduce material consumption and environmental pollution. The development of new energy can provide inexhaustible pollution-free energy for human beings, and synthetic materials can alleviate the shortage of natural resources. The emerging "digital city", relying on the information network covering the whole city and taking advanced information technology mining methods as the tentacles, constantly monitors the development and changes of nature and human society, and accurately predicts the relationship between human social activities and natural environment changes, and so on. All these have opened up new ways for the harmonious coexistence and coordinated development between man and nature. 3. Promoting the coordinated development of human beings and society: the humanistic value of science and technology. Scientific and technological progress and innovation are important factors in the development of advanced culture, which can greatly improve the ideological and moral and scientific and cultural quality of the whole nation and promote the harmonious development of people and society. Specifically: 3 1 scientific and technological progress promotes people's free development. Marx pointed out in the Manifesto of the Productive Party: "The old bourgeois society will be replaced by class and class opposition. In this consortium, everyone's free development is the condition for everyone's free development." [1](P273) Marx's exposition on "free association" and man's all-round free development points out the goal of a high-level harmonious society in the future. Under the industrial civilization, people never doubt that they are human bodies, but often doubt that they are human souls. Repeated mechanical production and the general expansion of instrumental rationality make people become "living things" without freedom and personality. With the wide application of science and technology, especially the realization of comprehensive automation of production, people will be liberated from monotonous and repetitive heavy labor, and labor will no longer be a means of making a living and a heavy burden, but become the first need of life. People will get rid of their dependence on people and things, and their free time will increase greatly. Thus, people will freely use their free time, fully display their freedom and personality, and regard the development of human ability as the end itself, and the ideal of "the union of free people" will eventually become a reality. Scientific and technological progress promotes the improvement of interpersonal relationship. The subject of a harmonious society is people. Therefore, building a harmonious interpersonal relationship is an important part of building a harmonious society. The role of scientific and technological development in improving interpersonal relationships is mainly manifested in the following aspects: from the national level, with the high development of science and technology, the improvement of workers' quality and the emergence of a large number of knowledge-based workers, the differences between workers and peasants, between urban and rural areas, between mental and physical labor and even all class differences will disappear, and people will get rid of the bondage of fixed division of labor and achieve complete equality in production and all social life fields; From a global perspective, although scientific and technological competition between countries is inevitable, it also needs extensive international cooperation. For example, in the field of information technology, it is impossible for any country to be in a leading position in the emerging high-tech fields such as computer technology, microelectronics technology, optoelectronics technology, optical fiber technology, multimedia technology and network technology. In order to make progress, we must strengthen scientific and technological cooperation, and the future information superhighway and Internet will make it possible to enjoy information resources and create conditions for technical cooperation. In this way, there is a realistic basis for eliminating hostility between people and establishing equal and harmonious interpersonal relationships. In addition, the development of science and technology has also brought about a revolution in the way people communicate. For example, the development of communication and network technology fundamentally shakes or even denies the traditional way of social communication with acquaintances, which puts people in a vast and infinite communication world, transcends the specific places of communication activities and the limitations of gradual diffusion, and enters a state of universal communication, realizing the interactive connection between "self" and "society" for the first time in human history. [2] 33 Scientific and technological progress promotes the construction of democratic politics. "Science and technology is the product of the development of human wisdom. The development of science and technology accelerates the development and progress of society, helps to break tyranny, hierarchy, privilege, inequality and injustice, brings great freedom of thought and behavior to individuals, generally improves human intelligence, and plays a great role in promoting human civilization and world peace. Scientific spirit, theory and method have great social value. " [3] At the same time, science and technology provide sufficient technical support for human beings to realize democratic politics. "The characteristics of cyberspace, the integration and connection, timeliness and decentralization of information and communication technologies provide a very broad prospect for citizen participation" [4]. For example, e-government based on electronic information technology and communication technology has broken the physical organization boundary of traditional administrative organs, and the administrative processes of government departments have been integrated and connected, making it possible for governments and governments and society to communicate through various electronic channels, so that everyone can participate in and discuss state affairs. At the same time, because of the unbounded and hidden nature of the network, anyone can freely express their opinions and sincerely express their wishes through it. In recent years, many NPC deputies and CPPCC members have established their own personal websites or published their personal e-mail addresses, so that citizens and social groups can communicate with them frequently and conveniently. The role of science and technology in promoting the construction of democratic politics is becoming more and more obvious. References: [1] Selected Works of Marx and Engels (Volume 2) [M].
