"As a rocket force carrying out a special mission, we must practice and strengthen our own skills and strive to become a new person of the times who is worthy of the heavy responsibility of a strong army..." At a missile launch training ground, an exchange and sharing activity was carried out in the interval between training, and the speech of a female major resonated with officers and men.

She is Liu Shan, an assistant engineer in the technical office of a missile brigade of the Rocket Force. In March this year, she was awarded the National Pioneer of Meritorious Service.

She is a "post-90s" who has been on the front line of the mission under bad conditions for nearly half a year. She was always in a hurry, sometimes appearing next to the operator, sometimes shuttling between technical gatekeepers, rigorously and meticulously handling the entire process of the pulse missile test.

This technical master, when he was a graduate student at the Rocket Force Engineering University a few years ago, showed his "academic bully" temperament: the research results won national patents, and various awards won "soft hands"...

When she graduated, she was assigned to the brigade's communications camp, which matched her major. Liu Shan, who is full of ambition, is ready to perform on this grassroots stage.

Unexpectedly, due to the reform and reorganization of the troops, a paper order made her from the commander of the communications platoon to the first female cadre in the history of the brigade to specialize in missile technology.

"The latest missile weapons, brand new professional fields, brand new positions..." Talking about the feelings at that time, Liu Shan said, "The long sword of a big country cannot be lost at all, and after a short period of freshness, I fell into a panic of skill." ”

"When she first came, I was a little skeptical." Jiang Weimin, a senior engineer in the brigade technology office, said, "Can this female master who studies communications be qualified for a professional post in missiles?" This position is very hard, can she bear it? ”

Liu Shan, who has an idyllic appearance, has a heart that does not accept defeat, and embarks on the road of professional "advancement" from scratch.

She used the most stupid method to make up for the backwardness of the "starting line"; she would not analyze and eliminate faults, she would take the initiative to apply to learn from the post, ask comrades around her for advice on learning methods, and ask manufacturers for advice on design principles; the troops organized practical operations, she entered the field in advance to observe, and accumulated reserves bit by bit.

Soon, Liu Shan asked his comrades-in-arms to "look at each other differently." With excellent skills, she became the technical backbone of the brigade, was selected into the technical top talent pool of the base, developed a certain type of vehicle laser timer, so that officers and soldiers can master driving skills and take many detours, and participated in the development of a certain type of missile virtual simulation system, which won awards in the selection of the rocket force and improved the training efficiency.

"Women are also on the top of half the sky." When someone asked about the difficulties of being a female soldier in these years, she said, "On the road to a strong army, there is no gender distinction, and the struggle is endless." ”

In October last year, when his unit was on a certain missile test mission, Liu Shan found a leader and asked miao to participate. In the face of the leader's hesitation, she said: "The test task is not easy to come by, we need to get first-hand data." ”

Liu Shan, who obtained the "admission ticket" of the mission, became a beautiful scenery at the mission site.

The local environment is harsh, the residence is a long way from the position, and the extremely cold weather of more than 20 degrees Celsius below zero, she has to walk several times a day. "One day, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and looking at her who had become a snowman, she appeared on time at the scene of the actual operation, and we all gave her a thumbs up." Sergeant Wang Zhe of the brigade launch battalion said.

During the mission, Liu Shan repeatedly corrected the problem of irregular operations of officers and men, actively communicated with manufacturers, eliminated more than 10 types of operational faults that may be encountered, and also participated in the revision and compilation of professional regulations for missile technology positions and launch positions, drew up a map of the key points for commanders to check the key points, and shortened the cycle of generating combat strength.

Nowadays, in this brigade, Liu Shan's fame is getting bigger and bigger, whether it is a launcher commander or an ordinary missile trumpeter, when encountering various problems, he will always talk to her to discuss and communicate.

At the end of last year, Liu Shan, relying on his excellent professional quality and outstanding performance in carrying out tasks, was rated as an outstanding officer of the brigade's first "four haves" and a "top technical figure of the base", and was awarded the second class of personal merit.

"Learn to know the shame, fang knows the art is not refined." The signature of the circle of friends, she wrote such a sentence, "I wish my youth to bloom brilliantly under the launcher." ”
