[Typical in the military]
In front of him, Zhou Zhijie, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the Rocket Force University of Engineering, is dressed in uniform and has bright eyes.
Over the years, he has had countless halos - an advanced individual in the Rocket Army, an outstanding doctoral dissertation winner of the entire army, and one of the founders of the International Forum on Evidence Reasoning and Artificial Intelligence...
Regarding his research direction, he said: "Some weapons and equipment are in overdue service. Can these equipment continue to serve, when will they fail, and how to maintain them? How to choose the best-performing weapons and equipment to participate in duty during the service period? Will the weapon be able to adapt to the style of future warfare? This is what my team and I have been focusing on.”
"What is needed on the battlefield, what should our scientific research focus be aimed at"
"Only by daring to take the road that no one has gone before can we achieve innovation and transcendence, especially in the field of high-tech." Zhou Zhijie said, "We need to engage in scientific research to win, and we must always aim at the international frontier for innovation."
In recent years, Zhou Zhijie has done the most research on making scientific research achievements serve the war, and the most he has gone to is the front-line troops.
In many army surveys, he found that there are still some shortcomings in the life cycle health management of missile weapons.
For example, the factory test information, online monitoring information and historical experience encountered in the production, use and maintenance of missile weapons are not fully utilized, the health status evaluation index system is not comprehensive, the fault diagnosis plan is incomplete, the maintenance timing is difficult to determine, and the health Management lacks a visual presentation system, etc.
In order to overcome these problems, he and his students read all the thousands of relevant Chinese and English materials that could be found, and took the students many times to conduct research in front-line troops and aerospace departments.
After a few months, Zhou Zhijie and his students became black and thin.
"From the distribution of questionnaires, online discussions to on-site consultations, each survey made me feel very fulfilled and meaningful, which not only broadened my horizons, but also clarified my ideas, which is something that students from other research groups cannot reach. We are very lucky." Cao You, a doctoral student, sighed.
Zhou Zhijie said, "How can you become a qualified national defense science and technology worker if you don't know the troops and equipment? In order to make the missile fly more stably and accurately, and to maximize the operational value of the missile, all these efforts are worthwhile."
After nearly 10 years of arduous exploration, Zhou Zhijie proposed a set of theories and methods for missile health status assessment and failure prediction, and achieved a number of original theoretical results with international leading level, which have been widely concerned and positively evaluated by international academic peers.
But Zhou Zhijie is happiest when the research results have been successfully applied to the key components of the control system of various types of missiles, and have been verified in the Rocket Force, the aerospace department and local enterprises.
At present, he is jointly undertaking the research and development of long-range decision support systems for various types of missiles of the Rocket Army with an aerospace research institute, and is responsible for the overall design of fault diagnosis and decision support core modules.
Zhou Zhijie said: "Military academies are an important support for the combat effectiveness of the army. What is needed on the battlefield, our scientific research focus should be aimed at; where the bottleneck of combat effectiveness is, we should tackle key problems."
"Since you choose to do it, you must do your best to be the best"
"The research direction of your project is not forward-looking, and the research method is too old. Let's open the question again next year!" In September 2006, when Zhou Zhijie completed the report with confidence, he welcomed the "Boom in the head".
After the defense was over, the joint training instructor specifically asked him to talk: "You should go back to your own school. Military cadets can lead the troops well in the army, and you don't have to do scientific research."
Recalling his experience after graduating with a master's degree in 2004, he was selected by the school as the first doctoral student for joint training at Tsinghua University with excellent grades.
For more than ten years, that scene was still fresh in his memory.
"You have to get up from where you fell." In order to prove his strength to his mentor, in order not to lose face to the school, and to live up to the support of his family, Zhou Zhijie regained his courage.
During the Spring Festival that year, Zhou Zhijie did not go home, and lived a three-point and one-line life of "laboratory-canteen-dormitory" every day.
After mastering a large amount of the latest research materials, he decided to focus on the "human-machine hybrid intelligent modeling method". When the second doctoral question was opened, his research direction won the unanimous approval of the judges present, and also won the mentor's opinion. Positive evaluation, successfully passed the opening question.
"Scientific research cannot be done behind closed doors or taken for granted." Thinking back on that experience, Zhou Zhijie was deeply touched.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this scientific research experience that he always encourages his students - "Scientific research is never-ending, and since you choose to do it, you must do your best to be the best".
He said to his classmates: "You are the future 'scientific leaders'. Military researchers must focus on the front line of the army."
He has formulated a sound academic standard system for the research group, and often leads students into the front-line troops, organizes graduate students to participate in various scientific research activities, strengthens team cohesion, shapes the excellent scientific research quality of students, and guides students to stand at the forefront, not afraid of difficulties, and actively dedicate themselves. defense business.
Over the years, Zhou Zhijie has successively trained more than 20 postgraduates, one won the 12th China Youth Science and Technology Innovation Award, two won the army's outstanding master's thesis, and four won the third-class merit. In order to improve the overall level of discipline construction, The advancement of scientific research results has made an important contribution to the transformation of the combat effectiveness of the troops.
"I will continue to climb the peak of the health management of missile weapons throughout the life cycle, and move forward, move forward, and move forward again!" When it comes to the future, Zhou Zhijie's eyes are shining brightly.
