[Explanation] The Chinese People's Navy is composed of five major arms: submarine force, surface ship force, aviation force, marine force, and coastal defense force. Together, they have built the "Steel Great Wall" on the Chinese sea.

Among them, the submarine force is a strategic force that symbolizes the status of a major power and supports national security.

　　Recently, the reporter visited a certain submarine base of the Navy in the Northern Theater.

Because of the long-term work and life in the seabed of several hundred meters deep, if you want to become a submarine soldier, you must go through three stages: cultural test, psychological test, and oxygen allergy test, and tough personality, hard work and hard work have become the essential qualities of submarine soldiers.

　　(Submarine soldiers) must have a spirit of hard work and dedication.

There is no day and night (on the submarine). In fact, one week after we went out to sea, the human biological clock was in confusion. In fact, the time was quite chaotic, so we (persisted) on duty according to the time point.

　　[Explanation] For submarine soldiers, every voyage is a silent farewell, and every dive is a test of faith.

In the deep sea, having fun in hardship and being positive is also the common mental outlook of submarine officers and soldiers.

　　Before we set out for one mission, our crew brought a pot of green plants, what we now call "meat", to the cabin, and to the place where he lives to take care of it.

In fact, we have taken good care of it all the way down. To what extent, our soldiers use flashlights as sunshine.

　　[Explanation] In addition to spirit, professional skills are also essential.

On a submarine, "one gun per hundred people", each position is closely related to the vitality and combat effectiveness of the submarine. This requires every submarine officer and soldier to have excellent skills and become a skilled "all-rounder."

　　A hundred people, one gun, dozens of positions, hundreds of positions, everyone must have excellent skills.

It is difficult to say which position will have problems, so your duties require you to have this ability, what ability?

It means to be proficient in manipulating your control equipment, and to accurately judge and eliminate the faults in time.

　　It was December, and it was more than 20 degrees below zero (Celsius) in the northeast. Our factory and dormitory were still some distance away, and we ran to the boat every day. The manufacturers and institutes (technicians) happened to be there to consult and study.

After we finally understand the principle of this device, we suggest adding an intervention signal to the control system.

This system finally changed this thing after three or four months. After our first generation of boat equipment was changed, all submarines of the whole navy changed this.

　　[Explanation] For the common mission of the submarine business, veterans will unreservedly impart their experience to newcomers.

Today, young officers and soldiers have become the new backbone of the submarine base.

　　As a veteran, it is very important to guide new comrades at this time, to guide them (emotions), and at the same time to give full play to their abilities in their posts.

Therefore, our submarine force has gone through so many years of "passing and leading," and so many years of development, not only the equipment has been improved, but the quality of the personnel has been improved in all aspects.

　　[Explanation] From the sea without defense to the strong coastal defense, from the 13-man troop to the five major arms, the People’s Navy set sail from Baima Temple, Taizhou, Jiangsu, and it has gone through 72 years of ups and downs.

In 72 years, the Chinese People’s Navy, which was built from scratch, has now sailed across the world.
