The American scientist was abandoned by his country, and he went to China with hundreds of billions of projects. What happened afterwards?

Since the founding of New China, China has always attached importance to scientific research. It also lists scientific research as an important task to enhance comprehensive national strength. However, for a long time, the United States and other countries have often slandered China, leading foreign scientific circles to think that New China is a country that does not attach importance to scientific research and despises scientists. But coincidentally, a man not only brought China advanced technology in astronomy, but also changed the attitude of foreign academic circles towards China through this incident. This is David Brady.

Down and out expert

Astronomical telescopes play an important role in astronomy, and the observation of planets cannot be separated from the support of high-precision astronomical telescopes. However, due to the long-term blockade of China by western countries, we could not acquire sophisticated astronomical observation equipment for some time. However, the emergence of one person turned the tables, and that was David Brady.

Brady is an American to the core. Why does it bring an important opportunity for astronomy to our country? This will start with his scientific research project. Brady has made great achievements in astronomy. The reason why he has such a high reputation depends on his important research achievement-a high-precision astronomical telescope that can be used to observe astronomy. Brady's team called it a "super camera" with one billion pixels.

However, the project encountered difficulties in its initial implementation. As it turns out, supporting such a research and development project requires a lot of money. Brady's research institute will soon break even. He saw the opportunity to become famous and made up his mind never to give up. So Brady went to the U.S. Department of Defense and proposed that he could apply for funds, research materials and equipment from the U.S. Department of Defense in exchange for his right to use the invention.

Research on twists and turns

Seeing the potential value of this project, the then US Secretary of Defense provided Brady with a lot of money to continue his research. Brady, who got the funds, was very excited, and the work that had been suspended for lack of funds was able to continue. However, the good times did not last long. At that time, the US Secretary of Defense was dismissed because of political struggle, and Brady's funds were gone at once.

The new minister reevaluated Brady's research project. He believes that this research has spent a lot of money, but it can't be profitable, and it is not helpful to strengthen the national defense force of the United States. So Brady's fund supply was cut off, which caused Brady's work to come to a standstill.

This behavior of the US Department of Defense made Brady extremely angry, but the immediate financial problems also made Brady feel at a loss. In order to attract investment, Brady and other scientists in the laboratory took turns to go into battle, and businessmen, social organizations and other scientific research groups visited almost every time. However, after all kinds of efforts, I only got a donation of several thousand dollars from the folk astronomy enthusiasts association.

But just when Brady was at a loss, good news came from China on the other side of the ocean. It turned out that Brady, as a researcher, was looking for donations from businessmen everywhere, which was widely spread as a joke in the scientific community, even heard by the astronomical community in China.

Aid from China.

But when everyone else was laughing at Brady. Astronomers in China carefully studied the feasibility of the Brady project. After the demonstration of scientists and the evaluation of relevant government departments, they think that Brady's project will have a very high development prospect, especially for China's "Eye of the Sky" system. Obtaining high-tech talents in this field can make great contributions to the field of astronomical telescopes in China.

Therefore, the government of China officially invited Brady to come to China to conduct research on related scientific research projects. Brady was ecstatic about it. When he later recalled this incident, he said that at that time, he could not imagine that there would be a state institution to talk about scientific research cooperation with him, and he did not care about his foreigner status. So Brady called other researchers in the laboratory and brought all the experimental equipment and scientific research materials. Not far from Wan Li, Wan Li came to China.

Sure enough, Brady got a steady capital investment after he came to China. So Brady devoted himself to scientific research. There will be a major scientific breakthrough in just one year. Moreover, Brady's project has been applied to astronomical telescopes and satellites through the research of relevant government departments, and has obtained hundreds of billions of benefits, filling the gap of high-tech astronomical telescopes in China.

Correct attitude towards talents

Brady's experience was sent back to American academic circles, causing a sensation. In the past, academic research projects in the United States, in addition to finding their own sources in their own countries, generally sought cooperation from western European countries such as France, Britain and Germany. But from this incident, American academic circles actively sought the cooperation of China, and the reputation of China academic circles suddenly opened abroad.

The us government is also very sorry about this. The U.S. Department of Defense once sent a note to China, asking China to put Brady back and let him do research in American academic circles. However, Brady publicly stated that his research has been greatly funded by the government of China, and he will continue to complete his research project in China. Moreover, he spared no effort to tell those scientists who are prejudiced against China that the benefits of doing scientific research in China and the importance attached by the China government to scientific research have changed many unreasonable prejudices against the scientific community in China.

In Brady's experience, we can see that if we want to retain talents, we can attract talents to stay in addition to our high scientific research strength. More importantly, we must have enough respect for talents. In the minds of talents in high-end fields, respect is a priority. If there is not enough respect for talents, it is difficult to attract talents to stay. Brady chose to come to China to continue his research only because the US Department of Defense didn't respect the fruits of his labor.

It can be seen that our country's attitude towards high-tech talents is completely different from that of other countries. In our country, people with skills will get generous treatment. In terms of personnel training, we also spare no effort. We spend a lot of money on education every year and send a large number of students abroad to learn advanced technology in order to better serve the motherland.
