In order to assemble ammunition, he trained himself as "Zhou Botong"
Military typical

Zhou Jun has a unique experience of the word "smart hand".
In his view, the assembly of ammunition is not only "calluses on the hands, operation as if there is a god", but also careful thinking and innovation.
In the midsummer grassland, the sound of cannons shook the sky.
Suddenly, a malfunctioning ammunition disrupted the rhythm of the artillery test, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.
At a critical juncture, Zhou Jun, the fourth-ranking sergeant commander of a certain army experimental brigade, took the initiative to ask Ying to step forward, and after "seeing, hearing, and asking," he found out the ammunition lesions.
The officers and soldiers couldn't help sighing: "The'skilled squad leader' is really a cow."
Zhou Jun has a unique experience of the word "smart hand".
In his view, the assembly of ammunition is not only "calluses on the hands, operation as if there is a god", but also careful thinking and innovation.
"Compete" with various training bombs every day
I remember that when he first came to the test team to work on ammunition assembly and modification, Zhou Jun saw other old squad leaders using tools to disassemble ammunition, just like "padding a cow". The complete ammunition was broken down into various parts during the flyover.
At the same time of envy, the enthusiasm for not admitting defeat also emerged spontaneously.
"Be like the old squad leaders, practice the unique skills of assembling and refitting with one hand!"
However, when facing the test ammunition, Zhou Jun’s hand holding the tool kept shaking. The assembly process and operation skills taught by the monitors before were completely forgotten, and his heart was full of fear and tension. Come".
"The tools in our hands are the same, the only difference lies in these hands. Only by practicing more in peacetime can we overcome fear and be able to overcome the fear in the face of live ammunition." Zhou Jun's master and first-level sergeant Cai Chunhao's words awakened. Zhou Jun.
Since then, various assembly and modification tools seem to have been in Zhou Jun's hands.
He "competed" with various training ammunition every day, once, ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times... Gradually, Zhou Jun not only mastered the ammunition assembly and modification skills, but also practiced "blindfolded operation" and "one-handed operation". "Waiting for unique skills.
"Not only must both hands understand ammunition, but also the left hand must understand the right hand, and the right hand must understand the left hand." This is Zhou Jun's second goal in the field of ammunition assembly and modification.
Many tools require the coordination of left and right hands in operation.
For example, to operate the ammunition combining machine, one hand controls the combining depth and the other hand controls the combining strength.
This is similar to Zhou Botong's "left and right stroke technique" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which requires both hands to make different actions at the same time to operate equipment and tools in coordination.
In order to master the operation and use of the ammunition combination machine, Zhou Jun started from "drawing a circle with the left hand and drawing a square with the right hand". He often stood in the dormitory and "dancing with his hands".
Kung fu pays off. After long-term mental training, simulation training, and practical training, Zhou Jun operates the ammunition combining machine like an arm and can combine ammunition in the fastest possible time.
Develop "artifacts" to improve work efficiency
Training your hands as dexterous as a tool is not the end of ammunition assembly and modification operations.
After an experiment, Zhou Jun had the next goal.
At that time, the barrel life test of a certain type of artillery required the ammunition team to prepare more than 100 rounds of large-caliber ammunition within a day.
Setting the fuze, installing the primer, weighing and measuring... There are many steps, strict requirements, and high standards.
Looking at the ammunition with a thick bowl, weighing more than a hundred kilograms, and arranged "invisible at a glance", Zhou Jun and his comrades did not hesitate, riveting in the workshop, from morning to midnight, and finally completed the task on time.
Back to the dormitory, Zhou Jun could not fall asleep for a long time despite the backache.
"It is not enough to rely on the use of traditional tools and dexterity. It is necessary to develop an'artifact' that can improve the quality and efficiency of assembly and modification operations." He secretly thought.
Just do it.
Since then, Zhou Jun spent the day making molds in the processing workshop, and at night in the study room to change the drawings. There was a large box of waste materials and a thick pile of drawings.
After more than a month of design improvement, the large-caliber fuze setter "turned out".
After testing, the use of the fuze setter to set the fuze not only greatly improves the operating efficiency, but also has a higher setting accuracy than traditional operations.
This small invention also won the first prize of the "Three New and Three Small" innovation competition held by the brigade that year.
The first battle was successful and confidence increased.
Subsequently, tools such as primer spinners and ammunition stackers that can greatly improve operational efficiency have come out one after another, and they have become "spiritual weapons" for officers and soldiers in ammunition assembly and modification operations.
"Now, there are more and more information equipment, and I still have to learn new skills such as software numerical control, network programming, etc., and use my hands to create intelligent tools to better contribute to ammunition testing." This is Zhou Jun. Set yourself the next goal.
