It has been less than a hundred years since the founding of New China, but now we have gone from being poor and weak after the war and waiting to be rebuilt, to becoming more economic, military and culturally powerful. In the late Qing Dynasty, the inaction and compromise of the Qing government led to us having no say in the diplomatic stage, but now it is different.
Now we have full voice and even voting rights in our international status, but all this is not simply in our hands. The reason why we have been able to develop so fast in the past few decades is due to the hard work of our ancestors. This is mainly attributed to the once unknown scientists.
Speaking of these people, Qian Xuesen is a role we have to mention. He was once one of the best young physicists living abroad. When the motherland needs it most, Qian Xuesen and the same group of classmates returned to the embrace of the motherland without any hesitation. 70 years ago, what kind of "big pit" did Mr. Qian dig out to make the whole world jump into the "pit"? Let's take a look at slowly.
Genius physicist
As one of the most famous physicists in China and even the world, most people are very familiar with his great achievements. , however, the contribution of the former student after the founding of New China must start with his study career.
Qian Xuesen was born in Shanghai, China. When he was born, our country was at a time of internal and external troubles, so he worked hard to learn and made up his mind to use his talents and learn from the country. It has to be said that there is really a difference in IQ between people. For geniuses like Qian Xuesen, one step they take is equivalent to 100 steps like ordinary people.
When he just started studying, Mr. Qian Xuesen had excellent grades and showed extraordinary agility and intelligence in all aspects. During the Republic of China period, Qian Xuesen directly obtained the qualification to study in the United States for public expenses with his excellent academic performance.
The school he studied in the United States at that time was the MIT , which is very famous in the world. He studied missiles and aerospace related knowledge carefully and became one of the best graduates of ATO. After graduating from university, because Mr. Qian Xuesen was too outstanding, he stayed directly at MIT as a professor.
Time soon came to the 1950s. At that time, our country had just been established and was still excluded by many Western countries in its international status. We urgently need to develop our own aviation industry system, which includes the development of nuclear weapons .
However, our country did not have any relevant outstanding talents at that time. At this time, many young scholars studying abroad gave up their excellent life and work abroad and returned to our country and devoted themselves to the revolutionary cause.
Among them is Mr. Qian Xuesen, who was working hard to contribute to the development and construction of the country. But at the beginning, Qian Xuesen did not get official US permission. Of course, Americans know that Qian Xuesen is an excellent physicist, and he is also the best expert in aerospace and missiles.
The United States had already regarded China as one of their most powerful imaginary enemies at that time, so they did not want Qian Xuesen to return to the embrace of their motherland. Under our unremitting diplomatic negotiations, Qian Xuesen finally traveled thousands of miles to return to the embrace of the motherland. When returned to his hometown, he also brought us many of his best students at MIT to conduct research on aerospace and missiles. will not elaborate on Mr. Qian Xuesen's contribution to , two bombs and one satellite, , as everyone knows.
But compared with these completed careers, the unfinished careers that Mr. Qian Xuesen left to us 70 years ago is more precious. These are the "big pits" we mentioned at the beginning. is precisely because of the big pits he left behind that all the major powers are now rushing to jump into this pit in order to achieve better development.
Qian Lao's ultra-high-sonic missile theory
After completing the construction of two bombs and one satellite, Qian Xuesen did not stop his research. At that time, the Soviet Union had not yet disintegrated, and the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union made us deeply realize that without strong military strength, there would be no strong diplomacy. Therefore, we face more severe challenges to China's position after the international pattern is redivided.
At that time, the Soviet Union and the United States were the largest military countries in the world, and their air power, especially missile development, were already the most advanced technology at that time.
But one problem that the Soviet Union and the United States thought of at that time, but did not solve was the faster and more difficult to intercept missile technology. Mr. Qian Xuesen has been at the forefront of the world, and he took the lead in proposing the theory of supersonic missiles for us.
At that time, the world's number one military power basically had strong intercontinental missiles, basically all of which had global strike capabilities. However, these missiles also had their own weaknesses, that is, although the range was very long, they were easily intercepted.
In this way, if any country first creates missiles that are difficult to intercept, then whoever takes up the favorable situation in its international position. The supersonic missile theory proposed by Qian Xuesen is developing towards this goal.
supersonic missile, as the name suggests, is a missile that flies at supersonic , and this is just one of them; the most important thing is that the trajectory of this missile is random and very unstable, so it is more difficult to intercept, which is the most fundamental meaning.
Military Deterrence
Relying on the big pit dug by Qian Xuesen and a large number of outstanding physicists and missile research experts at that time, our new China now has its own supersonic missile, which is the Dongfeng missile that every Chinese is very familiar with.
Dongfeng missile is currently one of the strongest intercontinental missiles in the world. This missile has a deterrent effect between international and regional areas and is of great significance to the peaceful and stable development within our country. What’s more important is that the Dongfeng missile can carry nuclear warhead , which is an answer submitted by our descendants for Mr. Qian Xuesen.
Conclusion
These outstanding ancestors put their lives in the national military construction decades ago, but they are all peace-loving people. The reason why we have to create so many powerful deterrent weapons is for peace.
After all, having a sword is not necessary and not having a sword is completely different. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is something that every Chinese child should remember.
