CCTV News: Today’s “Promoting the Spirit of the Great Nation”, let us enter Nan Rendong, a famous astronomer in our country and the initiator and founder of the “China Sky Eye” FAST. From site selection, project establishment to completion and opening, Nan Rendong has been rooted in the deep mountains of Guizhou for 22 years, and has been committed to innovation and unswervingly forging a great weapon for a great country until the last moment of his life.
Cinema Recently, the statue of Nan Rendong, a “model of the times” giant’s sky-eyed craftsman, and the naming ceremony of “Nan Rendong Star” were held at the 500-meter entrance of Pingtang, Komiks, Zhou. The asteroid with the international permanent number “79694” discovered by the National Observatory on September 25, 1998 was officially named “Nan Rendong Star”, which is the highest respect for the initiator and founder of the “China Sky Eye”.
Komiks Assistant to the FAST Engineering Chief Engineer of the National Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Pan Gaofeng: Put his statue here, on the one hand, I sent the FAST people’s nostalgia for Teacher Nan. In addition, we also hope that Teacher Nan will continue to lead us here with his perseverance and persistent scientific spirit, as well as a real, simple, meticulous and serious work attitude, and give back to the society and the public with more results.
KomiksIn the 1980s, Nan Rendong served as a visiting professor at the National Observatory of Japan, enjoying superior scientific research conditions and salary, but Nan Rendong chose to return to China and build a super telescope belonging to China.
FAST is a large scientific project involving astronomy, mechanics, machinery, electronics and many other fields, with no precedent to follow. It is precisely because of its uniqueness that Nan Rendong has brought the spirit of scientists to the extreme of competing with himself. In order to choose a suitable address for FAST, Nan Rendong traveled all over from 1994 to 2005. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>BabaylanThe hundreds of Wotans in Guizhou’s mountains, and once saw the mudstones in Wotan rushing with people and trees.
Hao Jinxin, Deputy Director of the National Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: The one who touched me the most was the Komiks. Komiks is a perseverance and unswerving spirit. To do something, it must be done. This project encountered almost very fatal and almost a subversive setback during the project establishment and construction process, but it survived.
This picture records the situation of Nan Rendong inspecting the construction of the hoisting platform. Although he is the chief scientist and chief engineer, he often does it himself at the construction site and can put on the steel frame. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Cinema to screw the screws, and can use a flat shovel to cut flat steel materials, and can lead the team to gnaw “hard bones”. In order to solve the problem of cable fatigue strength that exceeds the national standard of 2.5 times, Nan Rendong led the team, which lasted more than 700 days and experienced nearly 100 failures, and finally resolved the “fatal” threat of engineering construction. Jiang Peng, the current chief engineer of the FAST project of the National Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: He is in his 60s and is still climbing a mountain to investigateHe often does dangerous rocks, climbing a mountain that costs hundreds of meters, from the overall implementation plan of the project to the drawings of parts. He has a very strong sense of mission, and this CinemaFAST can be said to have burned out his last 20 years.
In September 2016, the FAST project was completed as a whole, achieving more than 30 patent results of independent innovation, and received high praise from the international scientific community. However, at the completion site, Nan Rendong, who has been confirmed to be lung cancer, said that this is just a new starting point.
Chief Scientist and Chief Engineer of FAST Project of the National Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: I feel very stressed, it is the starting point of a new Long March, and we have too much work to do. On September 15, 2017, when FAST was completed and invested in the first anniversary, Nan Rendong died of illness at the age of 72. The world’s largest and most sensitive single-caliber radio telescope he left us has allowed our country to occupy the commanding heights in the field of radio astronomy for the first time, providing an unprecedented national weapon for Chinese astronomers.

Looking back at the past, there are bitterness and sweetness. A key technological breakthrough is not my personal achievement, it is the hard work and hard work of a large group of people.
