Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (Fast) - by Zemin Meng & Zhengyong Yang (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

This book is a full-length reportage literary work. The author spent more than a year going deep into the front line of China FAST construction and interviewed on-the-spot groups of scientific researchers, project builders, local villagers, Party and government cadres, and other groups involved in the construction, creating the first panoramic, all-round record of FAST from the initial conception to the completion of the process so far. It reproduces the heroic deeds of the group of scientists represented by Nan Rendong, refines and displays the spirit of FAST of China, publicizes the heroes and exemplary characters and advanced models emerging from a hundred years of the Party's history, and embodies the outstanding achievements of China's scientific and technological undertakings in the centenary of the founding of the Party. As a record of the birth of the giant eye in the sky, it is a hymn to the era of serving the country with science and technology.
