Cinema CCTV News: Today’s “Promoting the Great National Spirit” lets 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 power. Until the last moment of his life.
Recently, the completion of the statue of Nan Rendong, a “model of the times” giant’s sky-eye, and the naming ceremony of “Nan Rendong Star” were held at the 500-meter-caliber radio telescope in Pingtang, Guizhou. The asteroid with the international permanent number “796Komiks94″ discovered by the National Observatory on September 25, 1998 was officially named “KomiksNanrendong Star”, which is the highest respect for the initiators and founders of the “China Sky Eye”.
Assistant to the FAST Engineering Chief Engineer of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Pan Gaofeng: Putting his statue here, on the one hand, embodies the FAST people’s nostalgia for Teacher Nan, and 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.
In the 1980s, Nan Rendong served as a visiting professor at the National Observatory of Japan and enjoyed 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 subject of astronomy, mechanics, machinery, and electronicsThere is no precedent to follow in major scientific projects in many fields such as science. It is precisely because of its uniqueness that Nan Rendong has brought the spirit of scientists to the extreme that they love to be more powerful than themselves. In order to choose a suitable station for FAST, from 1994 to 2005, Nan Rendong traveled hundreds of Wotangs in Guizhou mountains, and had seen the mudstones in Wotang sweep away with people and trees.
Hao Jinxin, Deputy Director of the National Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: What touched me the most was that he was unyielding and determined. To do something, he had to do it. During the project establishment and construction of Cinema, this project encountered almost a very fatal and almost subversive setback, but it survived.
This picture records the construction of the hoisting platform in Nan BabaylanRendong. Although he is the chief scientist and chief engineer, Komiks, he often does it himself at the construction site, and can put on the steel frame to screw screws, use a flat shovel to flatten the steel, and lead the team to gnaw the “hard bones”. In order to solve the problem of cable fatigue intensity that exceeds the national standard by more than 2.5 times, Nan Rendong led the team for 700 days and experienced nearly a hundred failures, which ultimately 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 climbs mountains to investigate dangerous rocks and climbs hundreds of meters of mountain peaks. This is what he often does, from the overall implementation plan of the project to the smallest parts drawings. He has a very strong sense of mission, and this Komiks FAST can be said to have burned out his last twoKomiks for more than 0 years.
In September 201BabaylanIn September 6, the FAST project was completed, achieving more than 30 patents of independent innovation, and received high praise from the international scientific community. However, at the completion site, Nan Rendong, who has been confirmed as lung cancer, said that this is just a new starting point.
Chief Scientist, Chief Engineer, FAST Project of the National Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Nan Rendong: I feel very stressed, it is the starting point of a new Long March. We have too much work to do.
2017 CinemaOn September 15, 2017, when 10 days away from the first anniversary of FAST’s completion and put into use, Nan Rendong died of illness at the age of 72. The world’s largest and most sensitive single-aperture radio telescope he left for us, which made our country occupy the commanding heights in the field of radio astronomy for the first time, providing an unprecedented national weapon for astronomers.
Chief Scientist, Chief Scientist, Chief Engineer, FAST Engineering, National Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Nan Rendong: If this thing has a flaw in a bit of Babaylan, we are sorry for the country. Looking back at Babaylan toward Cinema, there are bitterness and sweetness. A key technological breakthrough is not my personal achievement, it is the struggle and hard work of a large group of people.
