The prosperity and strength of New China from poverty and poverty to today are inseparable from the selfless dedication of countless scientists.
In times of peace, they are the heroes and soldiers of the nation's rise, and they deserve to be respected and loved by the people of the whole country.
Below, we will list ten scientists who have made great contributions to new China, ranking in order of birth time, and we welcome you to add.
The first is the famous geologist Li Siguang.
Born in 1889 in Huanggang, Hubei Province, Li Siguang, as the founder of Chinese geomechanics, the founder of modern earth science and geological work, Li Siguang's contributions in the field of geology are of great significance to New China.
From the development of the uranium ore needed for the "two bombs and one satellite", to the discovery of oil, so that China took off the hat of "oil-poor country" in one fell swoop, and then to the prediction and forecasting of earthquakes, Li Siguang has made tremendous contributions and has been appointed minister of geology and chairman of the China Association for Science and Technology.
In 2009, Li Siguang was named one of the "100 Chinese Things That Have Touched Since the Founding of New China".
The second is Qian Xuesen, the founder of the two bombs and one star.
Qian Xuesen was born in Shanghai in 1911, his ancestral home is Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and he is known as the "father of China's aerospace", "the father of China's missiles", "the father of China's automation control", "the king of rockets" and many other titles.
Especially in the "two bombs and one satellite" project, Qian Xuesen's contribution is unparalleled, and it is under his leadership that China's "two bombs" have been pushed forward for at least 20 years from scratch, from the test to the actual combat stage.
His outstanding contributions in the field of aerospace have laid a solid foundation for the rapid development of China's aerospace industry in the future and its entry into the world's advanced ranks.
In 1999, Qian Xuesen was awarded the "Medal of Merit for Two Bombs and One Star", and in 2006, he won the highest honor award in the 50 years of China's aerospace industry.
The third is Huang Xuhua, the father of China's nuclear submarines.
Huang Xuhua was born in 1924 in Shanwei, Guangdong Province, and is known as the "father of China's nuclear submarines". As the chief designer of China's first generation of attack nuclear submarines and strategic missile nuclear submarines, Huang Xuhua has been hidden for a long time, working silently for many years, and has made significant contributions to the field of nuclear submarines for New China.
Under his hard work, China has successively realized the launch of the first nuclear submarine, the first nuclear-powered submarine delivered to the navy for use, and the smooth launch of the first missile nuclear submarine, making China the fifth country in the world to have a nuclear submarine.
In 2019, Huang Xuhua was awarded the highest honor of New China, the "Order of the Republic", and in 2020, he won the highest national science and technology award.
The fourth place is Deng Jiaxian, the founder of the two bombs and one star.
Born in 1924 in Huaining, Anhui Province, Deng Jiaxian is known as the "father of the two bombs" and one of the founders of China's nuclear weapons theoretical research work.
Whether it is the simulation analysis, research and design of the atomic bomb, or the design principle and technical approach of the hydrogen bomb, Deng Jiaxian has poured countless painstaking efforts and sweat, and it can be said that he is a key link in the "two bombs" to the molding stage, and his contribution is extremely huge.
In 1999, Deng Jiaxian was posthumously awarded the "Medal of Merit for Two Bombs and One Star", and in 2009, he was named one of the "100 Chinese Objects That Touched Since the Founding of New China".
The fifth is Yu Min, the father of China's hydrogen bomb.
Born in 1926 in Ninghe County, Hebei Province (today's Jinninghe District), Yu Min is known as the "father of the hydrogen bomb" in China, which not only filled the gap in China's nuclear theory field, but also played a key role in the development of hydrogen bombs.
The hydrogen bomb project that Yu Min is responsible for research and development creatively uses the "Yu Min structure", which lays a solid foundation for the subsequent miniaturization and actual combat of the hydrogen bomb, so that China has entered the world's advanced ranks in the field of hydrogen bombs, and the famous "Yu Min structure", whether it is the forerunner country or the latecomer, can not form a suppression or breakthrough in the technical field, which can be described as a unique world.
In 2019, Yu Min was awarded the highest honor of New China, the "Order of the Republic".
The sixth is Sun Jiadong, the father of Chinese satellites.
Sun Jiadong was born in 1929 in Wafangdian, Liaoning Province, and is known as the "Grand Master" of China's aerospace industry and the "father of China's satellites".
In the "two bombs and one satellite" project, Sun Jiadong served as the overall design leader of China's first artificial satellite "Dongfanghong I", and later served as the technical leader and chief designer of China's first remote sensing measurement and control satellite and retrievable satellite, at the same time, he was also the chief designer of the second-generation application satellite mainly in China's communications, meteorology, earth resources exploration, navigation, etc., and also served as the chief designer of the first phase of the lunar exploration project, which can be described as the "father of Chinese satellites".
In 1999, Sun Jiadong was awarded the "Medal of Merit of Two Bombs and One Star", and in 2019, he was awarded the "Order of the Republic".
The seventh is Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice.
Yuan Longping was born in Beijing in September 1930, with his ancestral home in De'an County, Jiujiang, Jiangxi, and is known as the "father of the world's hybrid rice".
Yuan Longping invented the "three-line method" indica hybrid rice and the "two-line method" hybrid rice, and created the famous super hybrid rice technology system, which not only filled the stomachs of Chinese people, but also firmly grasped food security in our Chinese hands.
In 2004, Yuan Longping was awarded the "World Food Award", and in 2019, he was awarded the "Order of the Republic".
The eighth is the Nobel Prize in Medicine winner Tu Youyou.
Born in December 1930 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, Tu Youyou was the first local scientist in China to win the Nobel Prize in Science and the first Chinese scientist to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.
After years of experimental research, Tu Youyou has developed "artemisinin", an effective drug for the treatment of malaria, which has saved the lives of millions of people in many countries around the world.
In 2015, Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, and in 2019, she was awarded the "Order of the Republic".
