Youth forged swords and aerospace to serve the country
——The youth power behind the 60 years of China's aviation industry
What kind of story can be written in 9 years?
As a post-90s generation, Guo Sidong chose "China Aerospace" as the key word in his life nine years ago.
At that time, he had just graduated from a technical school, and even he himself had never thought that these four words made him like a new life.
In 9 years, he and his team have won the technical research and manufacturing simulation of core components of many major models in one fell swoop. At the same time, the "National Excellent Communist Youth League Member" and "National Technical Expert", one by one, are honored one by one, and all of this is derived from It became attached to China Aerospace 9 years ago.
Beijing Yungang, the location of the West Courtyard of the Third Academy of Aerospace Science and Industry of China, where Guo Sidong works.
When he first walked into the third courtyard, he was attracted by the "transcendence" sculpture standing in front of him. This sculpture, which was taken from the shape of a phoenix, looked like a sword that pierced the sky from the side, and looked like a sword from a distance. A flying missile with a bow ready to launch.
Since 60 years ago, it was in this land that a number of self-developed domestic missiles came out one after another: New China's first type of shore-to-ship missile, first type of air-to-ship missile, first type of supersonic flying missile... Behind these heavy weapons of protecting the family and the country are young people from all over the motherland. They surrounded a yard and built several factories, and China's aviation industry took root.
Sixty years have passed, this group of people has long been old, but they also had the same youth, the same feelings and goals as Guo Sidong-to forge a sword for the great country.
Forging a powerful weapon to protect the family and the country
"I'm hungry, I have to fight for my life, but I have to get the missile out!" This is the common aspiration of the first generation of the three hospitals when the hospital was first built.
At the beginning of the business, during the critical period of the development of the first type of shore-to-ship missile "Haiying II", the relationship between China and the Soviet Union deteriorated, the aid experts were withdrawn, and the drawings and materials were taken away.
The arduous living and working conditions and strict technical blockade not only did not make the pilots retreat, but stimulated their high work enthusiasm.
Soon, Liang Shoupan, the chief designer of the "Sea Eagle II" at the time, was inspired by the structure of the basketball and overcome the key technical bottleneck of the corrosion resistance of the engine fuel tank material in one fell swoop.
The success of "Haiying II" made Marshal Nie Rongzhen, then vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, excited: "The People's Navy finally has a missile weapon of its own design and manufacture!"
"Everyone calls'Haiying 2'a'strengthening bomb', which is intended to compete for the spirit of the three institutes to start a business, the strength of the navy, and the spirit of the Chinese nation. They are determined to get rid of the'foreign crutches' and create one. The road to independent missile development." Shi Xinxing, secretary of the Party Committee of the Third Academy, still sighed when talking about this history.
In October 1973, a group of young researchers from the Third Academy conducted experiments in a deserted ditch.
They buried the head of the missile's engine in the ground, and carried out an ignition test with their fiery buttocks up to the sky.
The researchers stood on the cliff a hundred meters away, staring at the ignition.
The experiment was finally successful.
At that time, this missile was not formally approved. Because of its small size and a "black household", it was called the "Xiaoerhei" by researchers.
In 1984, when it appeared on the 35th anniversary of the National Day military parade, foreign guests exclaimed it as "Chinese Flying Fish."
It hit the target ship in one fell swoop when it hit the target ship in a launch performance in the Yellow Sea Pilot Sea Area No. 6 Middle School, and it became famous ever since.
Behind this is the dedication and sacrifice of the Chinese pilots.
Academician Liu Yongcai worked in the Third Academy for a lifetime. He led the cruise team for more than ten years, broke many foreign technical blockades, and successfully developed my country's first-generation land-based cruise missile with 70% technological innovation.
Once, he was also the backbone of a young and handsome young man. He was overworked and had his stomach removed three-quarters. Later, he was busy troubleshooting problems at the test site, which led to recurrence of stomach problems and heavy bleeding.
When he was pushed into the operating room, his blood pressure had dropped to zero.
Once he got rid of the pain and entanglement, he returned to work, rushing back and forth, and night fighting... The phrase "work is important" always makes the staff around him admire and helpless.
"Live and do it, die." This is Liu Yongcai's mantra, and it is also the original portrayal of the pilot's intention to serve the country.
Don't be a passerby or spectator, be a pioneer
Combat mission planning, using information technology to restore the real battlefield, is the forefront of the construction of national defense equipment.
Faced with this field, Wei Xiangyuan, a senior engineer born in the 90s of the Third Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology of China, is like a "robot" with the power button pressed, rushing forward without stopping.
Wei Xiangyuan consulted a large amount of literature and professional knowledge, while groping and studying.
For a period of time, in the courtyard of the third courtyard in the early morning, he could always see him carrying biscuits and soy milk in his left hand, and trotting all the way with a notebook in his right hand.
He often said: "Astronauts must carry forward the revolutionary pioneers' spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and hard work."
In the past six years of work, Wei Xiangyuan has heard countless flying stories. Among them, the one that impressed him most was related to the difficult starting point of waiting to be thriving.
In the early days of the establishment of the third hospital, political commissar Yu Wen said in the first class of admission education: "We cannot tell our parents about the work we are doing, and we cannot tell our wives and children." In Babaoshan.'To fight for the motherland's cutting-edge defense cause for life, willing to be an unsung hero for a lifetime.' Since then, the revolutionary spirit of patriotism and loyalty has echoed in the common oath of the older generation of flying people.
The ancestors ate and sleep in the sandy tents of the old airport, using waste paper to beat and regenerate "horse dung paper" as records. After more than 5 years of hard work, they completed the "Upstream No. 1" imitation mission and built coastal defense. The first production base of the missile; in a large pit overgrown with weeds on the back mountain of Yungang, the "Xiaoerhei" conducted a hot test of the main engine that was long enough to be recorded in history.
"We pilots must not only be not afraid of tiredness, but also not afraid of making mistakes. Only by adhering to a strict, cautious, meticulous, and pragmatic work attitude can we transform experience into knowledge and achieve the ultimate in our work." Wei Xiangyuan said.
As the person in charge of a number of major projects and projects, he is responsible for leading various units to promote the progress of the project. It is normal for the work intensity to be high. This post-90s has his own "relief artifact"-humming a song or drinking a favorite drink , Can let him emerge more inspiration.
The road to technological innovation has never been smooth.
On Wei Xiangyuan’s work computer, there is an area named "experience pool" by him, which is used to record the mistakes and summarized experience he made in the process of work and study, and treat every engineering practice and scientific research practice as improving himself chance.
From the fiery scene of the key model decisive battle to the research and development base for major scientific research, from the production line of the workshop team to the fiercely competitive commercial market, from the emergency assault to fight the epidemic to the frontier of the major crisis and challenge... on the stage of the aviation industry These major events are like towering cornerstones, supporting batch after batch of young scientific and technological workers including Wei Xiangyuan.
The proportion of young people under 35 in the innovation team is as high as 85%
The solution of "a certain joint tactical mission planning problem" improved the key performance of the traditional system by 50 times; a target drone model completed 9 flight tests in 81 days, filling a number of technical gaps in the domestic UAV field...
The scientific research team that cracks these innovative technologies is the proud "baby" of the three academies.
What's more worth mentioning is that the proportion of young people under the age of 35 in the innovation team is as high as 85%.
The relevant person in charge of the Youth League Committee of the Third Academy said that every year, a large number of outstanding young employees stand out in key technology research and independent innovation design; even more than half of the "golden ideas" in the pre-research and innovation field are submitted by young employees individually or jointly. .
To this end, the three institutes have also established the Association of Young Scientists and Technologists, investing 10 million yuan in innovation funds every year, and more than 1,000 young people have signed up.
For those young people with independent technology and innovative ideas, innovation platforms and creative incubation support are the most urgent needs at the moment. The Youth Science and Technology Association of the Third Academy has given them such opportunities and platforms.
At the same time, the three institutes have also formulated 21 specific measures to establish a dual innovation system such as youth innovation room, youth innovation competition, youth training camp and youth science and technology association, continuously enriching and expanding youth growth platforms and opportunities.
Zheng Yi is a member of the "Future Combat System and Technology Professional Group" of the Youth Science Association. She told reporters that the members of the Youth Science Association closely connect with the young talent pool, smooth the conversion and communication channels of various sequences horizontally, and break the "ceiling" of career development. .
All these efforts are for young people to inherit the fine traditions of the older generation of pilots and make new achievements.
So far, there is still a classic story among the young pilots of the three hospitals: one fall, at a small station in Gansu, a certain type of test bomb came into the field, and the missile-provided carriage was unloaded on the platform and had to be transferred. To the other train, but the two trains are not on the same track, the small station has limited resources, and there is no extra locomotive to assist in the transfer.
Time was urgent, and the test team members made an amazing move-pushing the train.
As a result, on the Gobi small station filled with yellow sand, a shocking picture appeared: dozens of "weak scholars" shouting neat slogans, stepping forward, pushing the carriages slowly...
Looking back, those young figures are powerful convictions and will converge into an endless stream of steel.
This strong conviction and will is the mission of this group of pilots: science and technology to strengthen the army, and space to serve the country.
