"Our country's scientific and technological strength is constantly moving forward, and more and more outstanding talents are emerging in various fields."
This is the assessment of the development of science and technology on the mainland by an expert working in the field of marine science and technology in an interview.
It can be said that since the reform and opening up, the mainland has made great progress in the development of marine science and technology, and many outstanding scientific researchers have emerged, including Wan Buyan, director of the Marine Laboratory of Hunan University of Science and Technology.
It was he who stood out in his research in the field of marine science and technology, and was known as the "National Outstanding Engineer" and made important contributions to the mainland's scientific and technological undertakings.
Under the leadership of Wan Buyan, his team has made a major breakthrough in the field of deep-sea exploration equipment, filling the gap in the mainland's deep-sea drilling equipment and setting a new milestone for the exploration and development of deep-sea resources in the mainland.
Wan Buyan is also known as the "deep-sea national treasure", and his story has become a role model for many current scientific researchers.
1. Study day and night.
Wan Buyan, born in 1957 in Huaihua, Hunan Province, in an ordinary peasant family, due to his poor family background, he knew since he was a child that if he wanted to change his family situation, he had to rely on his own efforts, so he was also very diligent and studious.
When Wan Buyan was in primary school, he developed a strong interest in geology, so after completing his studies, he applied for the Nanjing Institute of Geology, majoring in marine geology.
After graduating, he began to work at the Qingdao Institute of Offshore Petroleum Geology, where he participated in the exploration of offshore oil and gas resources, and also participated in the construction of a domestic marine survey ship as a graduate student.
This experience also gave Wan Buyan a strong interest in the development of marine resources.
Later, Wan Buyan went to the University of Missouri in the United States to study, and through years of study and accumulation, he became a senior expert, and he has very deep insights in the fields of marine geology and resource development.
After returning to China, he began to work at Hunan University of Science and Technology, teaching marine geology, and also cultivating many excellent students in marine geology research.
During his work, Wan Buyan also deeply felt that the mainland's equipment for the development of marine geological resources was very backward, so he hoped that he could devote his efforts and lead the team to develop a set of deep-sea exploration equipment.
The first target of his team's research was deep-sea drilling equipment.
Due to the complex and harsh environment of the deep sea, the equipment for seabed drilling is much more difficult than that for land drilling, and the mainland has been very short of equipment in this area before.
Wan Buyan led the team to decide to start from scratch and carry out independent innovation and research and development.
Due to the large differences in professional backgrounds among team members, it is very difficult for team members to cooperate with each other in the research process, and Wan Buyan has to go to the laboratory several times a day to help members solve problems.
And their laboratory has also become a "steel jungle", with outdated equipment everywhere, and these equipment are also gathered by Wan Buyan from all over the unit, and they have completed one experiment after another under limited conditions.
Under the leadership of Wan Buyan, their team finally developed a deep-sea drilling equipment, which is also the first self-developed deep-sea drilling equipment in the mainland.
Its advent has not only made the mainland take a big step forward in the field of marine science and technology, but also made greater progress in the exploration and development of deep-sea resources on the mainland, which is also a major breakthrough.
2. Dig deeper.
The deep-sea drilling equipment developed by Wan Buyan and his team, called "Haiyang No. 1", can not only drill in the deep sea of more than 4,000 meters, but also conduct complex sediment sampling.
Wan Buyan also specially installed a double-layer drilling system for it, which made the "Haiyang No. 1" more stable and reliable in the process of drilling operations, and greatly improved the drilling efficiency.
After the advent of "Haiyang No. 1", it was used for drilling in the South China Sea, and its emergence allowed the mainland to fill the gap in the country in seabed drilling, and the emergence of this deep-sea drilling equipment also made the mainland upgrade a grade in the field of deep-sea exploration in the world.
The "Haiyang No. 1" equipment has also become the benchmark of the mainland's deep-sea drilling equipment, and its emergence has given the mainland a greater say in the field of deep-sea resource development.
In the mainland's drilling team, Wan Buyan's name also resounded across the ocean, and he was known as a "deep-sea national treasure", and even the captain of the United States praised him, calling him "the first person in the mainland's deep-sea drilling equipment".
In 2009, Wan Buyan led the team to develop a more advanced deep-sea drilling equipment, which was named "Snow Dragon No. 1".
"Xuelong No. 1" surpasses "Haiyang No. 1" in drilling depth, it can not only carry out drilling operations, but also carry out core sampling, and can also carry out rock sample analysis and detection, which greatly improves the efficiency of drilling operations.
Its appearance also set a new record for the deepest drilling of a deep-sea seabed drilling rig on the mainland.
In 2016, Wan Buyan led the team to develop a more advanced deep-sea drilling equipment, the name of this equipment is "Snow Dragon II", the advent of this equipment has also made the mainland take another big step forward in deep-sea exploration.
"Xuelong II" can not only carry out drilling operations in the deep sea of 5,000 meters, but also carry out formation sampling operations, and also has a built-in automatic drilling system, which greatly improves the efficiency of drilling operations.
Under the leadership of Wan Buyan, his team has developed several deep-sea drilling equipment, filling the gap in the mainland's deep-sea exploration.
The deep-sea exploration equipment developed by his team is not only used in the development of deep-sea resources in the mainland, but also in Antarctic scientific research.
His contributions have had a positive impact on the development of marine scientific research on the continent and researchers around the world, and he has been recognized as a "National Outstanding Engineer".
3. Contribute to the country.
Wan Buyan's achievements in marine scientific research are very remarkable, and the field he is engaged in has a very important impact on the mainland's marine industry, and his achievements are also known as "Wan's drilling technology".
And this technology was also researched by him with a lot of painstaking efforts, and it was his efforts and unremitting exploration that contributed his own strength to the scientific and technological cause of the mainland.
His contributions have been highly praised by all sectors of society, and he has been awarded the honorary titles of "National 38 Red Flag Bearer" and "National Model Worker".
He once said: "Everything I do is to be able to contribute my strength to the mainland's scientific and technological undertakings."
In Wan Buyan's body, we see the responsibility and innovative spirit of a scientific researcher.
His story also inspired many young scientific researchers, who said: "We should also learn from Professor Wan Buyan, never forget our original intention, forge ahead, and contribute our own strength to the mainland's scientific and technological undertakings."
As a scientific researcher, it is a very proud thing to be able to contribute to the development of the country.
In our future work, we should also learn from Wan Buyan, continue to work hard, continue to struggle, and contribute our strength to the mainland's scientific and technological undertakings.
epilogue
The independent innovation and unremitting efforts of scientific research personnel are of great significance to the development of the mainland's scientific and technological undertakings.
As a researcher, I am very proud to be able to contribute to the development of the country.
We must also learn from Wan Buyan, continue to work hard, never forget our original intention, forge ahead, and contribute our strength to the mainland's scientific and technological undertakings.
