Wang Jiangfan, a civilian engineer from a certain unit of the Rocket Force, wore a pair of black framed glasses and looked serious. However, upon contact, colleagues discovered that beneath his calm exterior lay a blazing heart. He always pours his full energy into each part, process, and experiment. ”As colleagues have said, Wang Jiangfan likes to call himself a craftsman, and his most common saying is: "A craftsman must maintain a spirit of craftsmanship." He pursues his dreams with burning passion and extraordinary resilience, seeks value between greatness and insignificance, and hones his heart in the resonance of speed and slowness... Through in-depth communication with Wang Jiangfan, the reporter deeply understands the "craftsman's heart language" of an engineer's persistence and dedication. On September 27, 2024, standing on the podium of the "Craftsmanship Cup" competition, Wang Jiangfan still couldn't believe that the championship truly belonged to him. Holding the trophy and certificate, a quick image flashed through Wang Jiangfan's mind. A few years ago, he gathered the courage to click the "confirm" button on the civil service application page and chose a professional and technical civil service position located in a different city. Joining the army was Wang Jiangfan's childhood dream. His grandfather joined the guerrilla forces in the Jin Cha Ji border area when he was young, and later volunteered to support the border areas. His father once served as a soldier in the border defense and guarded the Karakoram Mountains. Even after retiring, he still likes to fold his blankets into tofu pieces and neatly arrange his toiletries. Wang Jiangfan has gone through his father's military notes countless times. When he graduated from high school, he applied for military academy without hesitation. Unfortunately, due to his poor eyesight, he had to temporarily shelve his dream of joining the army. Until hearing the news of the military recruiting civilian personnel, Wang Jiangfan's heart once again rippled. At that time, he worked at a research institute and was in the same city as his wife. Rushing to the military camp that he had been thinking about day and night meant giving up his originally convenient and stable life. After much hesitation, Wang Jiangfan still expressed his wish to his wife. My wife understands Wang Jiangfan the best: "I know, you have always wanted to contribute your own strength to the development of the army, and I support you." Soon, Wang Jiangfan was admitted to a certain unit of the Rocket Force with excellent grades and became a civilian. Regardless of one's identity, at the moment they step into the military, who hasn't ignited a fiery passion and been filled with grand and lofty ideals? And whether this passion can withstand the test of time is a soul interrogation and practical test for everyone. Wang Jiangfan, who has just joined the company, unconsciously compares the military camp with society. Adaptation is not something that can be achieved overnight: when leaving a position, one must seek approval and report, undergo regular physical fitness tests, and organize political education every week... These rules and requirements are different from those in the local area, and the more they are compared, the greater the contrast. Chasing dreams requires both passion and resilience. ”Wang Jiangfan has no regrets about his decision, 'Since he has chosen the military camp, he will firmly walk forward.'. In the eyes of colleagues, Wang Jiangfan is particularly hardworking. Due to some differences between his previous work and the non-destructive testing profession, in order to solidify his theoretical foundation, he bit by bit gnawed on thick professional books. Colleagues often saw the lights in his office, which were still on late at night. Second level Sergeant Zhao Jinfu said that during a testing mission, he noticed Wang Jiangfan lying flat on the ground, moving his body bit by bit, and fully focused on performing ultrasonic testing on a tank bottom. Occasionally, the coupling agent drips onto the body or even the face, causing itching at first and gradually stabbing pain. However, Wang Jiangfan still operates meticulously and precisely because the detection process cannot be interrupted. Once something goes wrong, it must be restarted. When conducting radiographic testing, the large container is over 10 meters high and needs to climb up the scaffolding to adjust the irradiation position before retreating outside the radiation range. Climbing up and down more than 100 times a day, some people's legs were weak halfway through, but Wang Jiangfan remained full of energy and seemed to have endless strength all over his body. ”Zhao Jinfu sighed with emotion. That year, due to mission requirements, Wang Jiangfan and a colleague voluntarily moved into the position duty room. The room is very small, with a few square meters of space packed with a bunk bed, a table, and two filing cabinets. But they never complained about hardship or fatigue. They started working when they woke up and only rested in the early morning. They persisted for more than 40 days and successfully completed the testing task. Wang Jiangfan told reporters that during a support mission in the army, he saw a Sichuan pepper tree on the back slope, which was full of fruit. "It grew from a barren slope covered in gravel, and the scarcity of water and nutrients did not stop them from growing tenaciously." He said he greatly admired this spirit of fearlessness, optimism and hard work. The Difference of Size: "No matter how great or small life is, as long as you give it your all, you can always reap different wonders." If it weren't for working in non-destructive testing, it's hard for Wang Jiangfan to imagine how this "niche" profession could be related to the rise of the "Great Sword of the Nation". Wang Jiangfan's detection targets are special equipment such as pressure vessels related to missiles, which vary in size and location. Sometimes, he and his colleagues have to crawl around a huge tank, and at the end of the day, there is either sweat or dust on their clothes, and not a single spot is clean. There are also some tests that need to be conducted inside the dark and enclosed tank, even though they are wearing safety gear, they still have to endure pungent odors and focus on their work in an environment with poor air circulation. The detection time varies depending on the number and status of the devices, ranging from tens of days to several months. Since joining, Wang Jiangfan has inspected over 2000 square meters of equipment, discovered more than 500 defects, and conducted safety assessments on them. Although no magnificent trajectory of the missile has been seen in the sky, Wang Jiangfan appeared at the launch site in another form. After the task is completed, Wang Jiangfan and his colleagues need to sign their names on the inspection certificate, taking responsibility for the data and providing safety assurance. It is these unremarkable names on the testing certificates that shoulder the sacred mission and silently guard the 'great sword of the country'. In fact, Wang Jiangfan has also been confused about his own "insignificance". At first, he thought his job was to conduct scientific research in a "high-end" room, and in his spare time, he might have the opportunity to witness the moment of missile launch firsthand at the forefront. Unexpectedly, shortly after joining, the company organized training and he was going to learn welding. Suddenly putting on work clothes and struggling in the workshop, Wang Jiangfan couldn't figure it out. However, as he delved deeper into his studies, he gradually discovered the tricks and became familiar with the underlying principles of welding, which in turn helped him understand the causes, locations, and types of defects, making his work more effortless. Every position is a crucial link in the chain of building a strong military, and every battlefield is an important pivot on the journey of building a strong military. ”Slowly, Wang Jiangfan became more and more familiar with the business and began to follow the team to the front-line units of the Rocket Force to carry out equipment support tasks. As soon as he entered the battlefield, he would tighten his strings, work diligently, and be meticulous. In recent years, Wang Jiangfan's footprints have been scattered all over the world. He has seen snow capped deep mountains, passed through dense forests with branches and vines, endured mosquito bites in unbearable heat, and enjoyed the clear starry sky in refreshing deep autumn. In the busiest year, he spent over 200 days on business trips, either running around on the road or working on the front line. On the day of the military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti Fascist War, Wang Jiangfan and his colleagues watched the live broadcast on television. When the missile formation approached, Wang Jiangfan was extremely excited, thinking that his work was closely connected to the "Great Power Sword", and he clapped his hands with extra force. Nowadays, Wang Jiangfan has his own understanding of greatness and insignificance. He read the novel "The Ordinary World" several times and gained a profound feeling from it: "No matter how great or small life is, as long as you give it your all, you can always harvest a different kind of excitement." The way of relaxation "requires both a sense of urgency with an arrow on the string and a good attitude of slow work and attention to detail." As he devoted himself to equipment inspection, Wang Jiangfan seemed to be isolated from the noisy world, and he couldn't even feel the passage of time immersed in it. For non-destructive testing personnel, visual and tactile senses are quite important. Eyes should be sharp, capturing defects that can be recognized by the naked eye, and detecting abnormal data in images or tables; The technique should be stable, for example, in ultrasonic testing, the fit and speed of movement between the probe and the tested equipment, and in penetration testing, the angle and thickness of reagent spraying are closely related to the test results. That day, assistant engineer Liu Degui conducted his first independent magnetic particle inspection. The sprayed magnetic suspension blurred the color blocks on the surface of the workpiece, but he couldn't find the defect location. Wang Jiangfan, who was standing beside, took the spray can and lightly turned his wrist, drawing a beautiful arc, like putting a thin layer of gauze on the metal, and the magnetic suspension covered the surface of the workpiece finely. Take it slow, don't worry, "Wang Jiangfan patiently explained. As the saying goes, slow work produces fine work, and one cannot master these skills overnight. ”Wang Jiangfan said that non-destructive testing personnel should possess a spirit of craftsmanship, constantly striving for excellence day after day, able to withstand tests and withstand grinding. For a testing task, in order to make the data more accurate, Wang Jiangfan decided to perform more precise positioning and testing on the material. Some colleagues don't understand: "The previous detection methods have already been able to obtain data that meets the accuracy requirements, so why spend an extra day?" Wang Jiangfan said that what is valuable for work is that slow is fast. The fact proves that Wang Jiangfan's persistence is very meaningful. Local experts who have conducted technical cooperation with the unit have evaluated the accuracy of the data summarized by them after reviewing the testing report, which brings value to subsequent analysis and research. Wang Jiangfan told reporters that besides his current work in the materials industry, archaeology is another profession he enjoys. This reminds the reporter of the restorer in the documentary "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City", who repeatedly studies and ponder over a damaged cultural relic. Taking repairing a complex clock as an example, it takes 8 months for two people to complete the process from dust removal, disassembly and cleaning to assembly and debugging. The process of craftsmen repairing cultural relics is a dialogue with history. ”Wang Jiangfan believes that his job is the same, the process of testing is a process of deep communication with equipment and materials. Therefore, Wang Jiangfan enjoys the tedious and tedious work processes that outsiders may find particularly boring. However, Wang Jiangfan also has moments of urgency in his work. That winter, he and his colleagues had just completed a testing task on the front line when they received orders to rush to the next position. On the morning of departure, a blizzard suddenly hit, with snow accumulation of over 20 centimeters. Due to the many mountain roads, all the cars traveling back and forth were stopped, and the two of them were trapped in the mountains. If you can't get out all the time, the task won't be completed on time. ”My colleague advised him to stay indoors and wait for the news of the road opening, but Wang Jiangfan couldn't sit still and quickly ran out to find a way. Coincidentally, a vegetable truck equipped with anti-skid chains was about to descend the mountain when the two of them picked up their equipment and luggage and hitchhiked towards the train station. As a result, the train was also suspended due to heavy snowfall. They hurriedly rushed to their destination only after the high-speed railway passing through the task point departed. That time, Wang Jiangfan and his colleagues completed all the testing tasks 2 days ahead of schedule. In recent years, between fast and slow, Wang Jiangfan has found his own way of relaxation: "We need to have a sense of urgency with an arrow on the string, as well as a good mentality of working slowly and doing meticulous work
