The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Since the Shenzhou V spacecraft began manned space flight, every time a manned space mission was carried out, the astronauts of the mission would find time to visit Qian Xuesen after returning from space.

As the first generation of Chinese chief scientists after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qian Xuesen has too many titles on his head - world-renowned scientist, aerodynamicist, founder of Chinese manned space flight, 'Father of Chinese Science and Technology', 'King of Rockets'.
Americans once described him as "one man is worth five Marine divisions. I would rather shoot him than let him go back to China!"
In today's society, people always say that science has no borders!

But they forget that scientists have a motherland!

They forgot the difficult journey Qian Xuesen faced when returning to China!

They have forgotten that Qian Xuesen gave up his comfortable life in the United States and experienced numerous difficulties and tortures before returning to his motherland in order to return to China to build the impoverished republic.

Could it be that they are more powerful than Qian Xuesen? ?

You know, when the Republic was poor and blank, someone asked Qian Xuesen: "Can Chinese people develop missiles?" Qian Xuesen was very angry at the time and answered firmly: "Why not? If foreigners can do it, why can't Chinese people do it? Chinese people are inferior to them."

Qian Xuesen’s greatness is worth more than five Marine divisions!

Just one year after returning to China, Qian Xuesen was ordered to set up China's first rocket and missile research institute - the Fifth Academy of the Ministry of National Defense! Just five years after Qian Xuesen returned to China, China's first independently developed missile, the Dongfeng 1, was successfully launched! Ten years after Qian Xuesen returned to China, as the chief technical director of the test, he witnessed the success of the two-bomb combination test with his own eyes. From then on, China's nuclear missiles finally had deterrence and combat capabilities!
Qian Xuesen's resolute return to China advanced the research and development of China's missiles and atomic bombs by at least 20 years!
In the face of praise, he said: "The achievements belong to the Party and the collective"!
He also once said, "The people saying that I have done something for the country and the nation is the highest reward!"

He won a scholarship from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but donated it to the newly built USTC to support students from poor families! Many of the students who received the scholarship later became scientists in the most cutting-edge fields in the country.

Not only that, after returning to China, Qian Xuesen donated all the bonuses and wages he received, except for a small amount for living expenses.

It was precisely because of Qian Xuesen's great and noble personal charm that Liu Tao gradually donated his salary and bonuses since the 80s to establish scholarships.

Only by being with noble people can you become more noble.

Liu Tao has nothing but respect for this scientist who has spent his entire life creating a national treasure for the motherland and building the backbone of the motherland so that the people can stand up straight; for this old man who has dedicated his entire life to the motherland, the nation and the people!
So every year, he would visit Qian Xuesen at least once.

Since the Shenzhou V manned space flight, every Chinese astronaut who returned triumphantly from space would come to Qian Xuesen's home to report the good news to the founder of China's space industry.

And every time a newly developed Dongfeng ballistic missile was successful, even if it was just an improvement, someone would always come to Qian Xuesen's home to report the good news to him and make the old man happy.

It took five years to return to China, and ten years to develop the two bombs!

Qian Xuesen once said: "My career is in China, and my home is in China! I will do my utmost to build my own country and let the Chinese people live a happy and dignified life!"

He not only said it, but also did it!
And he did it!

His sincere heart to serve the country through science and education has become a spirit that has been passed down from generation to generation among Chinese scientific and technological workers. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is constantly being practiced under this spirit!

"Do you think that S3 season will really explode one day?" Qian Xuesen was a little uncertain, but with some concerns.

Liu Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "No matter whether the S3 season will start one day, the only thing we can do is to forge a sharp spear and a solid shield, so that the Chinese nation can stand at the top of the world's nations. Even if that day really comes, we will be invincible and will definitely be the final winner!"

In about three years, the entire national strategic defense system and theater defense system will be completely completed. By then, it will be impregnable.

As time went on, this defense system became more complete and powerful, and it could even destroy enemy missiles during the launch phase and destroy enemy aircraft just before they took off.

As for the sharp spears, they are constantly being forged.

Whether it is land combat equipment, air combat equipment, or naval combat equipment, they are constantly being built and developed to be more advanced!

Even Liu Tao is not sure whether the S3 season will really start one day.

Because the most difficult thing to guess in this world is the human heart.

No one knows whether a madman will be born among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council and start a war at all costs.

But he knew that even if that day really came, China would remain invincible, and the final winner would belong to China.

This is Liu Tao’s confidence!
This is also the value he has been striving for and practicing in the nearly 30 years since his rebirth!
"I am worried that the consequences will be just as Einstein said, nuclear weapons are too powerful!" Qian Xuesen said.

Albert Einstein once said: "I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but I know that World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones!"

This sentence deeply expresses Einstein's concern about the possible regression of civilization caused by the Third World War. He believes that if the Third World War occurs, weapons with destructive power such as nuclear weapons may be used, which will lead to great destruction of human civilization. In this case, if there is a Fourth World War, humans may return to the state of primitive society and can only use sticks and stones as weapons.

Qian Xuesen shared the same concern.

As someone who has personally experienced it, Qian Xuesen knows too well the power of nuclear weapons. It is a truly destructive force!
So far, the most powerful weapon possessed by mankind is still nuclear weapons!
The "Big Ivan" hydrogen bomb developed by the Soviet Union is the bomb with the largest TNT equivalent in human history. Its TNT equivalent reaches a terrifying 5000 million tons. According to information, the crazy Soviets even made a "Big Ivan" hydrogen bomb with a TNT equivalent of 1 million tons. Regardless of whether it is 5000 million tons of TNT equivalent or 1 million tons of TNT equivalent, it can destroy a medium-sized country.

So far, there is no weapon more powerful than nuclear weapons!
No nuclear weapon is more powerful than the Soviet Union's "Big Ivan" hydrogen bomb!
Whenever the Soviet Union or Russia brings up "Big Ivan" at a critical moment, other countries have to think twice before acting! (End of this chapter)
