On today's special day, Jingneng New Energy has a feeling of great reverenceCommemorating the 112th anniversary of the birth of the great people's scientist Qian Xuesen
When it comes to Qian Xuesen, everyone may first think of his titles such as "missile expert" and "aerodynamics expert", as well as labels such as "two bombs and one satellite", "father of China's aerospace", "king of rockets" and so on. However, as the world's top scientist who was praised by the US Deputy Secretary of the Navy Timbell as "worthy of 70,000 troops in five US Marine Divisions", Qian Xuesen's contribution is far more than that. His thoughts and insights, like those of the future, have long since transcended their time, anticipating many of the technological trends that are now becoming a reality
Qian Xuesen and new energy vehicles
In 1992, Qian Xuesen, who was 81 years old at the time, wrote a letter to Zou Jiahua, then Vice Premier of the time, and put forward a far-sighted proposal: ".China should skip the stage of using gasoline and diesel, and directly enter the new energy stage of reducing environmental pollution……Protecting the environment will be a very important issue by the twenties of the next century. At present, the United States, Japan, and Western Europe are organizing their respective technical forces to attack high-efficiency batteries, and plan to develop battery vehicles. ”
At that time, bicycles were becoming popular in China, and Chinese automakers were still trying to overcome the stability of gasoline and diesel power units. Qian Xuesen's suggestion seemed to be fishing for the moon in the water at that time. However, this is not an unrealistic fantasy. Through observation and Xi, Qian Xuesen found that the country is studying batteries that can be used efficiently for a long time, and even foreign countries are not much ahead of us in this regardIf the national force is organized to tackle the fortifications, then China can achieve corner overtaking in the automobile industry
From January to October 2023, China's new energy vehicle exports will be 9950,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 991%。New energy vehicles account for more than 25% of exports, and China has been the world's largest producer and seller of new energy vehicles for eight consecutive years. There are 3 Chinese companies in the top 10 companies in the world's new energy vehicle sales, and 6 Chinese companies in the top 10 companies in terms of power battery installed capacity. This series of data shows that China's new energy vehicle industry is booming and has been completed"Changing lanes to overtake", from a follower to a leader
This proposal, from the point of view of the present, is still bold, explosive, and transcendent in the era!So, how did Qian Xuesen become such a great scientist with foresight?It all started with his experience.
Qian Xuesen's experience and contributions
In 1911, Qian Xuesen was born in a good family environment, his father was the famous Chinese educator Qian Junfu, and his mother was Zhang Lanjuan, the daughter of a wealthy merchant in Hangzhou, who had an excellent talent for mathematics. Under the influence of his parents, Qian Xuesen was exposed to qin, chess, calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and at the same time, his father often taught Qian Xuesen that no matter how difficult China fell in, they would have to contribute their meager strength to the country.
In such a family environment, Qian Xuesen gradually grew into an outstanding young man with excellent character and learning, kindness and patriotism. In 1935, Qian Xuesen was admittedMassachusetts Institute of Technology, USAIn the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, it took only one year to complete a course that other students could study thoroughly in three or four years. In the second year, Qian Xuesen transferredCalifornia Institute of TechnologyDepartment of Aeronautics under the tutelage of the world-famous mechanics master von Kármán. Von Kármán once said that Qian Xuesen was the best student he had ever led, he has both the mathematical talent belonging to the Chinese and the imagination beyond ordinary people, and his contributions to the academic community have long surpassed him.
During his time in the United States, Qian Xuesen made outstanding achievements in the aerospace field. He was not only involved in the design of the US missile system, but also served as the head of the US Air Force Scientific Advisory Corps. Although he has a stable career and status in the United States, Qian Xuesen has always been concerned about the motherland. He had always wanted to return to his home country to play, but for various reasons he was unable to do so. It was not until 1955 that after the hard work of the prime minister, Qian Xuesen finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.
After returning to China, Qian Xuesen devoted himself to the construction of New China. He successively served as director of the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and deputy director of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, and made outstanding contributions to China's missile, rocket, and aerospace industries. As one of the founders of China's space industry, he presided over the research and development of various types of missiles and satellites, and achieved fruitful results. Under his push,The smooth implementation of the "two bombs and one satellite" project has made China one of the world's most influential space powers.
Qian Xuesen's prophecy
Qian XuesenNot a scientist in a specific single field, but a strategic scientist in the field of industry and defense, he hasForward-thinkingFor example, Qian Xuesen proposed in 1992 that China should developNew energy vehicles；In the 90s of the last century, Qian Xuesen had already paid attention to itvrtechnology, and named the VR "Lingjing", and also explained that this translation is called "Chinese flavor";In 1952, Qian Xuesen predicted that "fastComputerswill lead to a radical revolution in the field of engineering";He is keen on Chinese food culture, and he also once said, "An inevitable path is to move from home kitchen operation to eating......, and from fast food restaurants to form culinary industrialization".
One by one, the divine prophecies of this scientific giant are coming true.
Qian Xuesen is not only a bright star in China's scientific community, but also a legendary figure in the world's scientific community. His vision and wisdom across the ages, not only made his scientific career, but alsoIt has pointed out the direction for the scientific and technological development of China and the world。His thoughts, spirit and contributions will live on forever in the world, inspiring us to pursue scientific truth, innovate and develop, and serve the progress of human society.
Salute to Mr. Qian!His great spirit and wisdom will always illuminate our way forward!
