The laboratory building of the Centrifugal Hyper-gravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility, a key state sci-tech infrastructure, was delivered for operation in Hangzhou, the provincial capital of Zhejiang in east China on Jan 3.
Equipment installation and debugging are underway in the building, with trial operation expected in March.
With a total investment of 2.1 billion yuan (around 286 million U.S. dollars) and covering an area of over 59,000 square meters, the Centrifugal Hyper-gravity and Interdisciplinary Experiment Facility will be the world's largest and most powerful of its kind upon completion.
The whole project is scheduled to enter full operation by the end of 2026.

People in the Republic of the Congo say they are looking forward to expanding cooperation with China to more fields including medicine.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is going to visit the central African country on Tuesday, as part of his four-nation tour of Africa.
Officials said that the two sides will implement some of the programs that were agreed upon at last year's Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Beijing.
Economic relations between China and the Republic of the Congo date back to the 1960s.
Over the years, China has built factories, roads and bridges that have helped transform the country's agriculture-based economy into a semi-industrialized one.
Crude oil, copper and wood have been the Republic of the Congo's major exports to China, according to global trade data.
Congolese people hope their government can work to strengthen relations with one of the country's most important partners. In addition to infrastructure, people say some of the other areas that China and the Republic of the Congo plan to develop include health, agriculture and security.
"For me I think cooperation should extend to the healthcare sector, as we know that Chinese are good at medicine," said Ragma Nganga, a university student in Brazzaville.
"Cooperation between China and Congo has been remarkable especially in infrastructure projects. Chinese have built many roads," said Josue Mifoundou, a local digital media practitioner.
In 2018, China and the Republic of the Congo signed a memorandum of understanding on projects under the Belt and Road Initiative - China's flagship infrastructure initiative that's helping link Asia, Europe, Latin America and Africa to China through ports, roads and railways.
