The 21st century is an era of science and technology. Only with developed science and technology can a country be at the forefront of the world. Although science has no national boundaries, there is still a competitive relationship between countries, so there is no country that does not cherish talents. In the 1950s, the famous scientist Qian Xuesen wanted to return to China to contribute to the country. However, because of his outstanding abilities, the United States was reluctant to let him go. It obstructed Qian Xuesen's return in every possible way. In the end, the country's leaders came forward to talk to him several times. Qian Xuesen was able to return home smoothly.
In addition to Academician Qian Xuesen, Liu Ruopeng, known as the "Shenzhen New Generation Technology Expert", also had a similar experience. Liu Ruopeng is a top talent in the new century. He has made outstanding achievements in the field of "metamaterials" at a young age and has become a talent that all countries are vying to recruit. The United States even obstructed him in every possible way when he returned to the country, hoping to take him under his wing. What kind of story happened to him?
In 1983, Liu Ruopeng was born in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province. He was born into an ordinary family. However, Liu Ruopeng was born smart and learned things quickly. He was among the best in school from childhood to adulthood. When he was in junior high school, he followed senior students to sit in on math, physics and chemistry competition courses. Others found it boring, but he listened with great interest. In the end, he got a good ranking in the competition and became a celebrity in the school.
After graduating from junior high school, Liu Ruopeng entered Shenzhen Middle School with excellent results. Although there were many masters in the school, he was still a dazzling presence. While others stayed up late and worked hard for the college entrance examination, he had already obtained the Recommendation qualification for Zhu Kezhen College of Zhejiang University. With his extraordinary talent and hard work, Liu Ruopeng's learning path has been smooth. While studying in the mixed class of Zhu Kezhen College, he came into contact with "metamaterials" for the first time and developed a strong interest in it.
In 2006, Liu Ruopeng graduated from Lankezhen College with honors. At that time, countless companies offered him olive branches, and the salaries were very considerable, but Liu Ruopeng remained unmoved and relied on his own Through his efforts, he obtained the qualification to study abroad at Duke University in the United States. This study abroad trip provided him with a better research environment. At the same time, "metamaterials" have also become a new favorite in the field of science and technology, and he has already entered the field of study. Liu Ruopeng in this field has naturally attracted much attention.
In 2009, while studying for a doctorate at Duke University, Liu Ruopeng and his scientific research friends developed an "invisibility cloak" using "metamaterials" and published an article about the "invisibility cloak" in the magazine "Science" In the paper, Liu Ruopeng's name was prominently printed as the first author. The success of the "invisibility cloak" instantly made Liu Ruopeng a hot figure in the scientific and technological world. But first, it should be noted that this "invisibility cloak" is not a piece of clothing that can hide the body as we say in daily life, but a cutting-edge technology that can block the signals of various detection instruments such as radar.
The "invisibility cloak" is mainly used in the military field. With it, the country's military level will be taken to a higher level. The famous British physicist Sir John Pendry gave this technology Highly affirmed, and Liu Ruopeng has therefore become a talent that all countries are competing for. The United States offered high salaries and promised to give Liu Ruopeng's team the best research environment, trying to persuade him to stay in the United States for development, but Liu Ruopeng was not moved. He made up his mind to return to China and contribute to the scientific and technological undertakings of the motherland.
Liu Ruopeng’s road back to China was not smooth. The United States interfered many times. It was not until our country intervened that Liu Ruopeng was able to return to his motherland. In 2010, Liu Ruopeng, who successfully returned to China, took his team to establish Guangqi Research Institute in Shenzhen. So far, they have applied for more than 3,000 patents. In 2020, Liu Ruopeng even appeared on the Hurun Post-80s Self-made List. The rich list, and Guangqi Research Institute has also developed into a global group under his leadership. I believe that with their efforts, China's science and technology industry will continue to move forward steadily in the future!
