The post-90s female scientific research soldiers under the launch pad do not lose their beards
Inside and outside the barracks
◎Tian Liang, Guo Yang, reporter Zhang Qiang
The snowy night in the north, the cold wind.
A real-case synthesis exercise of a certain Rocket Army began quietly...Beside the icy "Big Mac", against the backdrop of the bright moonlight, a series of messy and clear footprints were left on the snow-covered road, and these dimensions The small mark was made by Liu Shan, the assistant engineer of the brigade who was responsible for the technical checkpoint on the spot.
Liu Shan is a northeastern girl born in the 90s, thin and tall, with few words.
When she was studying, she was labeled "Xueba".
Now, she has become an outstanding officer of the "Four Haves" of the brigade and has earned her second-class merit.
The reporter learned that Liu Shan was also the first female officer in the brigade's history to obtain second-class merit.
"Technology must pursue perfect scores"
After lowering the grassroots troops, Liu Shan was quickly assigned to the technical room.
This is the "high ground" for the training of combat missile brigade.
However, only a month later, Liu Shan "staggered" at the "high" place.
Once, Liu Shan went to the launch unit to check the installation and operation training. A company commander who commanded the operation on the spot suddenly ran over, and the "Lianzhu Cannon" asked a few questions about the structure of the missile and the principle of the system.
At first, Liu Shan was able to resist it, but as the layers deepened, in the end he hesitated and was speechless.
In recent years, the newly replaced weapons and equipment of the brigade have advanced performance, complex systems, and sophisticated technology, which have higher requirements for the scientific and technological literacy of officers and soldiers, especially technical cadres.
As usual, it is inevitable to be "questioned" when new to the missile profession, but Liu Shan does not believe in evil.
Profession is the foundation of one's life, and you must never be an "outside man"!
Liu Shan began to take the initiative to apply for foreign education and training opportunities, following behind the scientific researchers, factory masters, and technical backbones. He was as busy as a "top", and the knowledge that could be "digested" on the spot would never be delayed until tomorrow.
When I met someone who couldn't figure it out, I shut myself in a small room at night, learned the principles and parameters, and sometimes studied a circuit diagram of the missile subsystem all night long.
Hard work pays off.
In the professional theory assessment organized by the brigade, Liu Shan won the first prize with 99 points.
"One point is also a gap. You must pursue perfect scores to engage in technology." Under constant self-pressure, Liu Shan was recommended as a brigade technical backbone in just one year, and was selected as a superior technical talent pool. Become an expert in missiles.
Develop new equipment simulation training system
A few years ago, the army received an order to change a new type of weapon and equipment, and everyone was a little confused for a while.
"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. The'real guy' hasn't arrived yet, what should I do?"
"The head is on my own head, and we will develop a set of simulation training equipment ahead of time before the equipment arrives!" In the words of the leader, he gave the technical room a "cardiotonic agent".
New-type missile weaponry has a high degree of informatization, and commanders’ commands and trumpeters’ operations are basically executed by the computer interface.
Liu Shan, who has a computer foundation, naturally "takes on" the burden of developing an interface system for analog equipment.
"The key to the development of the operating interface is to maximize the restoration of the real user experience." Liu Shan recalled that in the absence of ready-made equipment, in order to "transplant" the visualization system, she could only imitate the software interface previously photographed by the manufacturer. "Liu Shan spent more than 2 months on a seemingly humble job using image processing software on hundreds of modules.
"Foreground" is only a small part. The system can be considered complete by accurately docking interface modules with operating instructions and establishing the interactive relationship between the interface and the controls, which is inseparable from the program code.
While consulting Ren Pengyu, an engineer who understands computer languages, she found a lot of professional books and began to enter the daily life of "programmers".
One year later, this set of simulated training equipment was successfully developed. The officers and soldiers followed the equipment rules and practiced operations as they wished, which greatly improved the training conditions.
"To continuously improve scientific literacy"
During the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 2019, Liu Shan’s equipment was one of the Rocket Army’s equipment team, and “just right” passed Tiananmen Square.
Technical support is inseparable from successful reading.
The laser timer developed by Liu Shan with vehicle speed recording and score storage functions makes driver training more scientific and intuitive, and improves the accuracy of the vehicle.
In the same year, Liu Shan also participated in the development of a distributed virtual simulation system for launch battle positions. This project won a prize in the Rocket Army's "three small" innovation competition that year, and she also won third-class merit.
Not long ago, she went thousands of miles away with orders to participate in the first inspection and test mission of new weapons and equipment.
In the severe cold weather of -20℃, the cold wind in the valley mixed with whistle sounds, but still could not stop Liu Shan's footsteps.
She insisted on going to the position every day to follow up and training, every piece of equipment was boarded and operated, and she worked overtime every day to tackle technical problems.
During the preliminary training, Liu Shan repeatedly corrected the problems that occurred in the operation of the trumpeters, guided them to eliminate the failures in the operation, and brought out a large number of technical backbones for the unit to ensure the smooth completion of the task.
"Advanced technology is the core combat effectiveness. As a technical cadre, only by continuously improving his scientific literacy can he insert the wings of science and technology for the missile to take off." During the interview, Liu Shan, who has been fighting on the front line for four consecutive months, said calmly.
