Micro Innovation: Igniting the Spark of Wisdom in Grassroots Military Training
2025-01-10
Entering a certain brigade of the 81st Group Army, a long lightbox corridor caught the attention of reporters. On the lightbox, the "little inventors" and independently developed "representative works" that emerged from the grassroots innovation and creation activities of the brigade appeared one by one. At the live fire training ground, the reporter discovered the "automatic ammunition compactor" displayed on the lightbox; In the simulation training room, the reporter tried the "aiming data recorder"... Through many details, the reporter felt that the spark of grassroots training wisdom was gathering into a torch in this unit, and the more it burned, the stronger it became. The "golden ideas" buried in the hearts of officers and soldiers, how many more are there? It has been half a month since the curtain of a certain task was lifted, and some training courses have not been launched yet. The head of the training department of the brigade is anxious like ants on a hot pot - this is a major task undertaken by the brigade, involving a variety of course types and new research directions, and some training equipment cannot be in place temporarily. What should I do? Upward application requires a cycle; Coordinate with brother units, everyone urgently needs it... During that time, the phone of the training department kept ringing. Often, when there are more than 20 phone calls a day, they are all from the responsible persons of various training courses who urgently need relevant equipment; There are more power outages, and they need to find ways to contact people and equipment. One afternoon, Staff Officer Zhang's phone rang again. On the other end of the phone, the person in charge of a certain training course excitedly told him that the company's shooting technician Chang Jiachao had "tinkered" with a device that could achieve the expected training effect. Did you make one yourself Staff Officer Zhang, half believing and half doubting, decided to go to the scene to see... a monitor, a sports camera, a cannon scope, a high-definition cable, a conversion head... next to the tank, through a self-made "aiming data recorder", the shooter's aiming situation was clear at a glance. The monitor was temporarily removed from the company's study room, and the wide-angle sports camera was borrowed from the company's photography interest group... "After listening to Chang Jiachao's introduction, Staff Officer Zhang patted his shoulder and praised his little invention. It can't be considered an invention, my idea was actually copied... "Chang Jiachao said awkwardly. Originally, two years ago, during his training at a certain professional college, Chang Jiachao came into contact with an advanced set of professional simulation training equipment. One of the functions of this equipment is real-time screen projection and recording of the shooter's aiming process, which can effectively shorten the shooter's training period. This set of professional equipment was still in the experimental demonstration stage and had not yet been distributed. After the training ended and returning to the workplace, Chang Jiachao thought about it and opened up the materials and data he had organized during the training. He decided to "follow the gourd and draw the ladle" and "organize" one himself. However, his spark of thought ultimately failed to ignite. I'm afraid my idea is too simple... "Chang Jiachao admitted that considering the continuous tasks of the platoon, he was worried that conducting this research would take up training time, consume the energy of his comrades, and disrupt the training progress... It wasn't until this time that the platoon was tasked with a pilot innovation task for a certain training course. As the relevant equipment applied for was not yet in place, Chang Jiachao finally gathered the courage to knock on the platoon leader's door and propose this idea. Unexpectedly, the platoon leader immediately recruited several key personnel and established a research and development team. Three days later, the "golden idea" burst out of its shell and they designed a useful device. I'm not doing this to become famous, I just want to contribute to improving my combat effectiveness Chang Jiachao told reporters. The experience of Chang Jiachao and his comrades making their own "Aiming Data Recorder" deeply touched Staff Officer Zhang: "When I was a platoon leader, I often led my soldiers to make some small inventions. Although they couldn't make it to the big table, they were really useful. No one knows what they need better than us!" "How many 'golden ideas' are buried in the hearts of officers and soldiers? If it weren't for the burning eyebrows, would I not hesitate to support Chang Jiachao's innovation? It's really hard to say..." The platoon leader's words made Staff Officer Zhang ponder. The situation was reflected in the brigade party committee. At the brigade party committee's war and training meeting, the trial method of "vigorously promoting grassroots innovation and invention" was unanimously passed. Unexpectedly, just three months later, dozens of innovative projects in the entire tourism industry came to fruition. Even an ordinary soldier has the passion and momentum for innovation and creation. In this grassroots innovation activity, what impressed General Zhang the most was a soldier named Wu Xinyu - a "little inventor" who was not recorded in the "Compilation of Innovation Achievements". That day, it was heard that some officers and soldiers had improved a set of unmanned equipment, and Staff Officer Zhang rushed over with joy. When he arrived at the platoon, he was somewhat disappointed: an unmanned robotic dog wrapped in camouflage, an unmanned chassis for transporting goods loaded with rifles, and a drone for filming. The unmanned equipment in front of us looks more like a "remote-controlled toy". Whether it's a black cat or a white cat, isn't being able to catch mice a good cat Wu Xinyu said that this set of "treasures" has a high cost performance ratio. This has been affirmed by the technical personnel of the manufacturer who are providing support for new equipment in the military: "Look at this unmanned chassis, even though it doesn't have a matching weapon system, the rifle attack efficiency is not bad when installed." "Professional people do professional things. The idea of the gun rack on the chassis was provided by me to the manufacturer's technical personnel. Don't underestimate this gun rack, which takes into account factors such as balance, firing, image transmission, and recoil..." Wu Xinyu explained excitedly. The enthusiasm for investment often exceeds imagination. Case by case, group by group of professional terms, one unmanned equipment after another... Unexpectedly, when it comes to inventions, Wu Xinyu, who graduated from vocational school, speaks so many "truths". Where does' Dao Dao 'come from? Wu Xinyu admitted that he mainly relies on self-study. Where can I find time to self-study when the military work training is so intense? Wu Xinyu said that most of the spare time allowed by the military is used to study his major. The army is meant to fight, so learning more is beneficial Wu Xinyu became more and more excited as he chatted, and he calculated the "bill" with the reporter - how much does an anti tank missile cost? How much does a self destructing unmanned vehicle cost? When an unmanned vehicle meets a soldier, who has a higher probability of being discovered? Who has a higher probability of being hit? In his words, Wu Xinyu did not mention the word 'love', but the reporter saw love in his shining eyes. After receiving a batch of requests for vacation, Wu Xinyu quickly left the camp. His destination is not his hometown, but a retired comrade's place more than a thousand kilometers away from his base. Wu Xinyu told reporters that this retired comrade and some military enthusiasts regularly conduct research and discussions on the application of unmanned equipment. Once, Wu Xinyu learned from the information they provided that there was a tactic that relied on unmanned equipment. Can you use this tactic for me? Later, Wu Xinyu saw a piece of information about the design concept of a certain type of unmanned equipment. He was inspired and decided to improve unmanned equipment. Coincidentally, in this mission, the company took on the innovative task of "class tactical coordination" course... Wu Xinyu, who loves to study, unconsciously attracted many like-minded comrades in the company, and they spontaneously formed an innovative research and development team. Nowadays, no matter who has good ideas during training, they will openly share their opinions and discuss them with their comrades. Even an ordinary soldier has the passion and momentum for innovation and creation Wu Xinyu said, "We are not scientific researchers, but we know what is needed for war." Just having a brilliant idea is not enough, but also having perseverance. From pure manual ammunition compactors, to semi-automatic models, and now fully automatic models... ammunition compression, a simple combat action, has made a name for Guo Yixuan, a chassis technician of a certain company. Loading ammunition depends on speed; Speed, the key lies in proficiency. After taking on the task of group training demonstration for the loading course, the officers and soldiers loaded an average of 50 magazines per person per day, unleashing their full strength. Not long after, there was a significant improvement in the loading speed of the officers and soldiers. However, as the speed increased, the demand for band aids also increased - at the end of each training day, everyone carefully tore off the band aids on their wounds and replaced them with new ones, each one grimacing in pain. The scene before him made Guo Yixuan unable to sit still. Guo Yixuan loves to ponder and has gained some fame in the company. For a continuous period of time, he has been collecting information online. Among them, a simple bomb launcher made by a military enthusiast himself caught his eye. Guo Yixuan thinks he can also give it a try. So he consulted with the previous chassis technician Yan Zhizhi. Who knew, Yan Zhizhi had some concerns: although the method was good, would it make people think that we were taking shortcuts? Even if the platoon leader passes this level, there will still be battalion commanders and brigade commanders behind... Just as this small flame of innovation is about to extinguish, the brigade issued a notice encouraging grassroots innovation and creativity. The two seized the opportunity and knocked on the platoon leader's door. The platoon leader acknowledged their ideas. However, the platoon leader also has concerns: as the deadline for higher-level inspection approaches, is time allowed? Can this pressure device achieve the expected effect after being manufactured? Can it pass the inspection... Guo Yixuan and Yan Zhizheng issued a military order on the spot: to produce a sample within 2 days. The platoon leader saw their enthusiasm and agreed to let them go. The next day, with the help of their comrades, the two of them took out a sample of the ammunition compactor and knocked on the door of the platoon leader again. The platoon leader was pleasantly surprised by this little invention and took them directly to the battalion commander that night. After discussion, the battalion commander agreed to set up a separate field in the observation and demonstration area to demonstrate the new pressure bomb method. In less than two days, this ammunition compactor faced the situation of being phased out: although it can compress multiple bullets at once, the preparation process and operation steps are relatively complex, saving energy but not time. The group of demonstration soldiers who carried out the traditional method of ammunition compression quickly caught up with the speed of the group of demonstration soldiers who applied the ammunition compactor... On the day when the ammunition compactor was withdrawn from the observation demonstration area, Guo Yixuan was like a frostbitten eggplant, feeling unhappy. Yan Zhizhi suggested trying to improve it again, but Guo Yixuan said, "The acceptance is coming in a few days, how could Lianli allow us to mess around again?" Yan Zhizhi seriously told Guo Yixuan that when he trained Guo Yixuan to take over the technician position, he thought he loved to ponder and had perseverance. Innovative ideas with shining light are not enough, we also need perseverance and tenacity... "Yan Zhizhi said. Later, the two of them worked overtime and spent a few more days upgrading and replacing the pressure device twice in a row. The final version of this pressure device was unveiled during observation and received recognition from higher authorities. Nowadays, many small inventions with easily accessible materials and simple structures, like this bomb compactor, have been further tested by officers and soldiers and gradually replicated and promoted throughout the brigade, effectively improving the training level of officers and soldiers and shortening training time.
