"sword points to the sky: qian xuesen's space legend" describes the life and mental journey of qian xuesen, the founder of china's aerospace industry, as he led chinese astronauts to pursue an independent development path from multiple angles and in depth.
qian xuesen's academic contributions and historical value are multifaceted. as an aerospace scientist, he has written numerous academic works throughout his life; as an organizational leader of major aerospace projects, he has made significant achievements in multiple engineering fields; as a strategic scientist, he has put forward many important ideas about science and technology and social development; as a outstanding communist party members become models for the whole society to learn from. the author believes that the sentence that best reflects qian xuesen's life ideals and value pursuits is undoubtedly the brief speech he delivered to the press before boarding the cruise ship returning to the country on september 17, 1955: "i will do my best to work with the chinese people. build my country so that my compatriots can live a happy and dignified life.”
this is the great goal that qian xuesen has strived for throughout his life. to this end, qian xuesen spent his whole life fulfilling this commitment: studying in the united states in his early years, specializing in aerospace technology, and laying a solid academic foundation; returning to serve in the country in middle age, forging swords for the country, and creating many glories in china's missile and satellite industries ; in his later years, he returned to his study to explore the modern science and technology system and think deeply about major theoretical and practical issues in modernization.
"sword points to the sky: qian xuesen's space legend" mainly covers the first two stages of qian xuesen's life.
not long after the founding of new china, qian xuesen, who was studying in the united states and specializing in aviation technology, decided to return to china to participate in construction. but his journey back home was extremely difficult - the u.s. authorities unreasonably detained qian xuesen, and during his five-year house arrest, he was unable to conduct teaching and research related to cutting-edge technologies. qian xuesen later recalled: "i was determined to 'start over' and engage in a new subject so that i could return to my motherland smoothly. i chose engineering cybernetics as a new research object." before returning to china, when qian xuesen took just when he said goodbye to his teacher von karman after publishing "engineering cybernetics", his teacher said: "you have surpassed me academically now." qian xuesen later recalled that he was "extremely excited" after hearing the teacher's words, because this is from the mouth of an authoritative international scholar.
with the hard work and great concern of the party and the government, qian xuesen returned to the motherland in october 1955 with world-class research results and began the glorious career of forging swords for the country.
the year after qian xuesen returned to china, the party central committee decided to develop china's missile industry and established the fifth research institute of the ministry of national defense, with qian xuesen as the first director. after just a few years of hard work, qian xuesen led a young scientific and technological team in which almost no one had ever seen a missile. on november 5, 1960, the soviet-imitation missile code-named "1059" was successfully launched. from then on, the chinese were able to manufacture their own missiles. .
on june 29, 1964, my country's first self-designed medium-to-short-range missile dongfeng-2 successfully launched a test, indicating that our country has basically mastered a complex set of technologies for independently developing missiles. the success of the dongfeng-2 missile laid an important foundation for the "four bombs in eight years" plan formulated by qian xuesen.
qian xuesen devoted himself to forging a sharp sword for the country and succeeded in two swords after ten years of hard work. new china has its own nuclear shield, which effectively safeguards national security and world peace.
the great achievements of "two bombs and one satellite" created by qian xuesen and the vast number of scientific and technological personnel have forged a strong shield to safeguard national security, consolidated the status of new china as a great power, and provided the chinese people with the goal of living a "dignified life" straight up. effective guarantee.
