"If there is any flaw in this thing, we are sorry to the country!" This is what Nan Rendong said. He is also practicing this sentence and proving it for his whole life!
refused to pay a lot of money abroad and resolutely returned to China to build the world's largest caliber radio telescope - FAST!
At the Japan International Radio Science Alliance Conference in 1993, scientists from various countries actively proposed the idea of building a new radio telescope to receive more information from outer space, which is what Nan Rendong thought. So Nan Rendong told his colleagues about building a radio telescope in China.
from the beginning to the completion of Nan Rendong devoted all his efforts and enthusiasm. It can be said that he has been working hard to build a radio telescope throughout his life. The most important thing in the early stage of this project is where to choose the site and where the funds come from. In order to choose the site for "Sky Eye", Nan Rendong spent 12 years traveling to the depths of the mountains in southwestern China, comparing more than a thousand depressions, and finally comparing various factors to determine Qiannan, Guizhou. For funds, we went to the department many times to communicate and explain the situation. Finally, we obtained funds from , Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Guizhou Provincial Government!
Because China did not have too outstanding technical achievements in this area at that time, and foreign technology blockades failed to stop Nan Rendong's determination and belief. Nan Rendong has always maintained enough enthusiasm and finally overcome various difficulties and broke through a series of technical problems.
In March 2015, Nan Rendong fell ill and was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. He was 70 years old that year. He fell ill, but he still insisted on the front line.
was finally officially launched on September 25, 2016. FAST project was officially launched in a karst pit in Pingtang County, Guizhou Province. As soon as this news came out, the whole world caused a sensation. The completion of this project also shows that China's related technology has been advanced to other countries for 20 years.
for this project, he spent 24 years from middle age to his hunched old age, and he spent the rest of his life running and dedicating for this project, only doing one thing in his life!
His hope is just " Others have their own big devices, we don't have them, I really want to give it a try."
The reason why China has achieved such great achievements is that there are a group of people who are not fame or profit to make silent contributions!
