The images of scientific soldiers and pioneers he created in his novels have influenced generations of latecomers. Many scientists admit that they were inspired by Verne to embark on the road of scientific exploration.
The first sentence of Simon Lake, the inventor of submarine, in his autobiography is "jules verne is the general guide of my life career"; Major General Byrd said Verne was his guide after flying over the North Pole. Picard, a balloon and deep-sea explorer, and Marconi, the inventor of radio, all thought Verne was the inspiration for their invention.
