Release the power of youth in the scientific research battlefield —— Ye Jun, chief engineer of a support team in the Western Theater ■ PLA Daily reporter Yu Yang Mingyue special reporter Yang Xiaobo [biography] Ye Jun, chief engineer of a support team in the Western Theater. It has won the first and second prizes of the military professional competition five times, four achievements have won the military science and technology progress award, was selected into the Sixth Batch of military high-level scientific and technological innovation talent project, and won the third prize twice. "I didn't expect that there are so many ways to play against such a solid target!" A few days ago, in the classroom of the National University of defense technology, Liu Tianyu, the former member and instructor of the "Ye Jun maker team", used the tactics developed by the team to carry out teaching, which won warm applause from the students. Who is Ye Jun? This person, who was repeatedly mentioned by Liu Tianyu and made the students feel strange and curious, was also the opponent that many contestants in a professional martial arts competition of the whole army wanted to know most after the competition. Although the team led by Ye Jun was unknown, it unexpectedly won the second place after several competitions. Not long ago, the reporter saw Ye Jun in a support team of the Western Theater. In the small office, a computer, a desk and a pile of books constitute Ye Jun's scientific research battlefield. In 2016, ye Jun was selected to work in the support team. Some comrades in arms told him that this post, which uses models and algorithms to study and solve combat problems, is neither in the "account of the Chinese army", nor in the front line of military training, and its development prospects are limited. But in Ye Jun's view, ensuring victory is the biggest driving force for him to start a business. "There are no posts of any size, but there are capabilities. If joint operations are a machine, I will strive to become a key component of this machine for efficient operation." He said. Facing the new position, in order to make up for the weakness of ability as soon as possible, ye Jun actively taught himself professional knowledge and consulted experts from colleges and universities while studying tactics and training methods. Everything comes to him who waits. In recent years, he has published more than 20 theoretical research results in core journals, and his comrades in arms praised him for "better understanding of combat than technical cadres and better understanding of technology than combat staff". Once, a system in the command center broke down, less than an hour before the start of the exercise. At the critical moment, everyone turned their attention to Ye Jun. After receiving the task, he calmly analyzed layers of code and groups of data... Soon, the system fault was successfully eliminated. Although the fault was eliminated, ye Jun did not stop there. "If the warplanes are delayed in wartime, the consequences will be unimaginable." Ye Jun regarded this system failure as an "encounter" in the scientific research battlefield, and was determined to completely eliminate this "enemy". He led the team to overcome the difficulties after more than half a year of unremitting efforts, and fed back the results to the R & D team of the system. "As long as chief engineer Ye is around, we feel confident." Now, ye Jun has become the "ballast stone" in the hearts of his comrades in arms. For the praise of leaders and comrades in arms, he always smiled shyly, and continued to plunge into the battlefield of his scientific research, immersing himself in the research of the topic in hand. "Seeing the transformation of scientific research achievements into the combat effectiveness of the army has strengthened my confidence in releasing more energy in the scientific research battlefield." Ye Jun said. (outlook new era)
