Dean General Chen Geng asked him: "Can China people engage in missiles?" Qian Xuesen said, "If foreigners can do it, why can't China people do it? Are China people shorter than foreigners? ! "

This sentence decided Qian Xuesen's career in rocket, missile and space. More than 40 years have passed, and now Qian Xuesen is 90 years old. With his fundamental contribution to China's rocket and missile technology, aerospace technology and even the whole national defense high-tech cause, he has written a brilliant chapter for the modernization of our military weapons and equipment.

1978 In May, at the suggestion of Qian Xuesen and others, our army began the research pilot work of military operations research and system engineering, and the Academy of Military Sciences established the first research and analysis institution of military operations research. Nowadays, military operations research and military system engineering have been widely used in the study of our army's strategy and tactics, troop establishment system and troop structure, and have achieved fruitful results.

Regarding China's national defense strategy, Qian Xuesen put forward a series of important suggestions with overall situation, foresight and feasibility. In the 1980s, he pointed out that by the beginning of the 20th century, "small-scale fighting" in some areas might be our main war style.

These suggestions are highly valued by the leading organs of the military.

A new career has begun, and there are many things. Qian Xuesen first gave a missile introduction to the newly assigned 156 college students, so that these technicians who have never seen missiles can understand the most basic professional knowledge. He drew up the study plan of aerodynamics, engine and other related majors, and guided the establishment of the research room of missile general, aerodynamics, engine and missile body structure.

Jiuquan launch site. Like ordinary scientists and technicians, Qian Xuesen sleeps in tents, eats coarse grains and organizes missile tests, calculations, analysis and research. Under the difficult conditions of the sudden withdrawal of all experts from the former Soviet Union, he led China scientists to overcome various difficulties and successfully conducted the flight test of China's first missile on June 5, 1960+065438. Nie said happily at the scene: "This is an important turning point in the history of China's military equipment." 1966, 10/0 On October 27th, Qian Xuesen participated in the flight explosion test of China's first medium and short-range surface-to-surface missile with a nuclear warhead, that is, the "two-bomb combination" test of an atomic bomb and a missile. The successful explosion of a nuclear warhead over a predetermined location shocked the world. China's national defense modernization has once again achieved a historic leap.
