After the Qing court closed its doors to the outside world, the technology that once made Chinese people proud was gradually surpassed by the advanced productive forces of western countries. It was not until the moment when Britain built a strong ship and sharpened its guns that China, who had been sleeping for a hundred years, realized that we were far behind.
Both Wei Yuan's "learning from foreigners to control foreigners" and Zeng Guofan's vigorous Westernization Movement faded away in those years filled with smoke. It was not until the reform and opening up that the development of science and technology returned to the real development path.
However, at that time, we discovered that under the rolling of the wheel of history, we almost all existed at zero, and too many technologies were monopolized by western developed countries.
In order to break the technical blockade, countless scientists and engineers advance wave after wave, break through one shackle after another and walk to the forefront of many technologies in the world. Jiang Yan is one of them.
0 1 Staggered road from auxiliary machine to main machine
No one in the world can succeed casually. When those successful people walk into the spotlight and enjoy the pious eyes and warm applause of others, they just walk through a bumpy road, and what awaits them is often a firmer pace and more difficult challenges.
Ten minutes on stage, ten years off stage. As an engineer, isn't Jiang Yan the same?
Jiang Yan is not a talented person. When she was young, she was no different from most ordinary people. As he expressed himself, at least her husband is much smarter than her.
The relationship between Jiang Yan and her husband is a beautiful campus relationship. At the end of last century, she and her lover were both students in shenyang institute of chemical technology. Before each exam, her lover can pass the exam smoothly as long as she looks through the books, while she needs to look through the books in the study room to impose her memory. "Stupid birds fly first" is her mantra.
After graduation, the young couple successfully entered the present Shenyang Blower Group. This enterprise, which has been entrenched in Shenyang for decades, used to be a resounding business card in Shenyang, but it has been teetering in the storm of state-owned enterprise reform, and sometimes even wages can't be paid.
It was at this time that Jiang Yan and her lover entered this state-owned enterprise unit that used to be known as the golden rice bowl.
Jiang Yan's school is not a prestigious school, nor is it an outstanding talent. Jiang Yan, who just entered the enterprise, can only go to the auxiliary research and development line of ethylene equipment every day and deal with all kinds of experimental data.
She once thought that she would never get into the R&D room of the mainframe, but the way she studied hard was seen by the director.
Although this little girl didn't graduate from a prestigious school, she has a strong learning spirit and ability. She takes a notebook to record all the experimental data every day, and asks her predecessors for advice in time if she doesn't understand any questions.
What surprised the director most was that whenever the ethylene compressor was monopolized by foreign countries, Jiang Yan's face always showed a look of grievance, regret and a little anger. He saw the girl's hidden stubbornness and unwillingness from Jiang Yan's eyes.
1997 By 2003, the restructuring of Shenyang Blower Group was completed, and Jiang Yan also had the opportunity to make a big impact. However, on the road to the mainframe research room, she has gone through 16 years.
In this 16 year, she walked firmly and firmly.
Go ahead, go ahead.
Ethylene compressor is an indispensable heavy equipment in petrochemical field. Even the plastic products we use every day and the clothes we wear have this large equipment behind them.
However, China, with a population of more than one billion, can only import such equipment from abroad.
Jiang Yan once visited the workshop of this large-scale equipment abroad, but they felt wronged and angry there. Not only are foreigners not allowed to take photos, but many people follow him throughout the visit because they are afraid that the delegation will spy on their technology.
These people are not only full of arrogance, but also show disdain for China people in their eyes, which makes Jiang Yan's heart full of anger and China people's stubbornness.
After returning home, they have to face the reality that the million-ton ethylene compressor has been monopolized by the United States, Germany and Japan. It took them a hundred years to complete the research and development of the compressor.
More than 20 years ago, China could not even produce a qualified compressor screw. Even though Shengu has accumulated a lot of experience, it can only produce 10,000 tons of equipment.
At the same time, the burden of R&D falls on the research team led by Jiang Yan, and China people will never succumb to the monopoly of foreigners.
With her own R&D team, Jiang Yan traveled all over the domestic equipment manufacturers, visited many production workshops, and began to design her own compressor. Hard work pays off. After nearly three years of hard work, they finally developed a 450,000-ton compressor.
However, when the equipment was delivered to the production enterprise, there was a problem with the equipment. This process requires very high equipment, and the amplitude cannot exceed 25 microns, which is a quarter of the width of hair.
However, their equipment is obviously beyond this range, and the manufacturer asked Jiang Yan's team to solve the problem within 20 days.
In these 20 days, Jiang Yan, who is in her early 30 s, turned pale one after another. The black hair that used to be full of hair turned gray. But she still took her research team to find the root of the problem from the equipment again and again and find out various solutions.
Finally, within the specified time, they solved the problem and summed up the experience, laying the foundation for greater challenges in the future.
Break the monopoly and go forward bravely.
After returning to Shengu from other places, Jiang Yan heard a news that the country was preparing to develop a million-ton compressor, and Jiang Yan instantly became a flower.
If the country can overcome this technical problem as soon as possible, then we can get rid of foreign monopoly in this field. After all, this is not only a matter of equipment, but also a matter of national security. The use of ethylene has penetrated into the homes of ordinary people. Without productive capacity, foreigners will strangle them.
Before Jiang Yan's excited heart was calmed down, she was called to the office by the leader. After decision and discussion, this national plan is ready to be handed over to Jiang Yan's R&D team, hoping to listen to her opinions.
As * * * party member, Jiang Yan agreed without thinking, and then went into actual combat.
After more than three years of day and night efforts, the first million-ton ethylene compressor independently produced in China was successfully taken off the shelf and put into production after many tests.
It is also officially announced to the world that China is the fourth country in the world that can independently produce million-ton compressors. Just counting the cost of imports, it can leave as much as 5 billion yuan for the country every year.
04 conclusion
Jiang Yan was just 37 years old this year. As a strong woman in the new era, she has also become a sharp weapon of our country.
Now she is leading her team to more heavyweight equipment, and we wish her team can overcome the problem as soon as possible and take another solid step.
