The Chinese People’s Revolutionary Military Museum is always crowded with visitors. Among the visitors, a young man stood in front of the display board for a long time.

Looking at the picture of a certain type of satellite on the display board of the “New Era National Defense and Army Construction Achievements Exhibition”, Cao Lu, a researcher at the National Defense Science and Technology Innovation Institute of the Academy of Military Science, was full of pride. Looking at the familiar smiling faces in the photos, Cao Lu recalled the time when satellites were being developed.

They once sat in front of their computers late at night, typing away at code, and they also once looked everywhere for interference factors… The bitter memories become sweeter the more they are savored.

“The times are calling us, and the people are expecting us. Only by being resolute and persevering can we live up to the times and the people.” At this moment, Cao Lu read this sentence from the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China again, and his feelings were even more profound. “Fortunately, our generation of young scientific researchers has caught up with a good era! I feel proud to be on the journey of strengthening the army with science and technology.”

The power of youth and the cause of innovation. At the National Defense Science and Technology Innovation Institute of the Academy of Military Science, many young researchers like Cao Lu are brave enough to innovate and endure hardships on the stage of strengthening the military with science and technology, constantly improving the contribution of scientific research results to the growth of combat effectiveness and accelerating the transformation of science and technology into combat effectiveness.

“To thoroughly study, publicize and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party, specifically for us young scientific researchers, is to throw ourselves into the era of innovation in national defense science and technology, take root in the front line of scientific research, and become good young people of the new era who have ideals, dare to take responsibility, can endure hardships, and are willing to work hard,” said Cao Lu.

A vast stage opens in front of this group of young people

“The People’s Army has a new system, a new structure, a new pattern and a new look.” After in-depth study of the 20th CPC National Congress report, Zhang Youjun, director of the National Defense Science and Technology Innovation Institute of the Academy of Military Science, was particularly impressed.

The National Defense Science and Technology Innovation Institute is a newly established unit after the reform and adjustment. In the five years of growing up with the institute, Zhang Youjun has personally experienced the changes in the system, structure, pattern and appearance brought about by the reform.

In January 2018, a group of young people, with an average age of just over 30, gathered from all directions and walked into this scientific research institution that had been officially established for just over three months. Among them were doctors who had studied abroad and returned to China, military academy teachers, and scientific researchers who had been rooted in the front line for a long time.

A grand stage opened in front of this group of young people. However, a brand new stage means brand new challenges.

At the first party congress after the establishment of the institute, they added a special content – a collective viewing of the movie “Out of Nowhere”.

In the silent desert, the sound of countdown rang out softly—5, 4, 3, 2, 1, detonation! A huge mushroom cloud rose up, and the sun-like brilliance illuminated the entire Lop Nur. A group of scientific researchers cheered and rushed down the hillside…

This is a shocking scene in the movie “Out of Nowhere”. “Develop the atomic bomb and stand tall.” General Zhang Aiping once said that the atomic bomb is not a weapon, but a spirit. The epic victory of developing the atomic bomb many years ago still has endless inspiration for today’s scientific researchers.

Since then, watching “Out of the Blue” has become a tradition for the officers and soldiers of the hospital. Wang Xintian, deputy political commissar of the hospital, said with emotion that every time he watches it, he will gain different feelings.

“People who appear out of nowhere should do things that appear out of nowhere.” Every researcher in the institute has his or her own understanding of this sentence.

“I completed the application for my first project in the dormitory I was temporarily borrowing at the time,” recalled young researcher Qiang Xiaogang.

When Qiang Xiaogang woke up in the middle of the night, he seemed to see himself lying on the table in the dormitory staying up all night: the old table, the humming computer, the crisp sound of the keyboard, page after page of reference materials…

At that time, Qiang Xiaogang was working alone. A few years later, from one person to a group of people, the ideas proposed in the project application gradually became a reality.

Only by daring to innovate can you have the joy of dreams coming true. In 2021, China has made another major breakthrough in the field of quantum. According to Xinhua News Agency, researchers have developed the first programmable photonic quantum chip for solving graph theory problems, an important step towards the realization of practical photonic quantum computers. The relevant paper was published in the journal Science Advances, and Qiang Xiaogang “came out of nowhere” as the first author. Now, walking into the laboratory of Qiang Xiaogang’s team again, more results are waiting for further testing.

Back in 2009, Qiang Xiaogang stood at another important crossroads in his life: Should he choose the electronic information field he had studied as an undergraduate, or the cutting-edge but unfamiliar quantum information field? After some thought, he chose a “difficult but more long-term direction.”

Guanghui’s dream originated from the individual but transcended the individual, originated from reality but transcended reality. From his student days to now, on the road of studying quantum technology, Qiang Xiaogang encountered many difficulties, both academic and non-research, but he never backed down.

At the beginning of the establishment of the institute, the leader of the institute said at a meeting: “We call you here not to find a basket to put your past achievements in and continue to work on your own stalls, but to set a common goal and do something big together…”

“What is considered a ‘big deal’?” Qiang Xiaogang kept this question in his mind until October 2020, when he saw a piece of news: The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held its 24th collective study session on the research and application prospects of quantum technology. When presiding over the study session, President Xi Jinping stressed that “we must fully recognize the importance and urgency of promoting the development of quantum technology, strengthen strategic planning and system layout for the development of quantum technology, grasp the general trend, and take the initiative.”

Qiang Xiaogang felt a surge of warmth in his heart. The photonic quantum chip technology he was researching was the cutting-edge direction in the field of quantum technology. He was always calm, but now he was no longer calm: “No matter how hard I try, it’s worth it!”

“What I am doing now is what I want to do. When personal ideals and national interests are combined, no matter how hard the work is, it will not feel hard at all,” said Qiang Xiaogang.

In the eyes of researcher Cao Lu, ideals are born naturally on the road of common struggle. “I hope to perfectly concentrate the work results of my colleagues on a satellite to meet the needs of the country to the greatest extent possible.”

After studying the report of the 20th CPC National Congress, Cao Lu has a clearer view of the future direction. “Chairman Xi proposed that we should focus on original and leading scientific research based on the national strategic needs and resolutely win the battle to tackle key core technologies. We have a mission to fulfill and we have no choice but to do it.”

“Innovation requires youth. This era especially needs young people like you”

Inside the institute’s office building, blue light strips on the walls extend all the way forward, leading people to the “Two Bombs and One Satellite” Spiritual Culture Museum at the end of the corridor.

“The genes of a unit determine its future.” Lu Zhoulai, the political commissar of the institute, said that they chose to use the “two bombs and one satellite” spirit to build a solid spiritual foundation for this new team.

Red and blue are the two main colors of this exhibition hall.

Red is the color of loyalty. From the heroes of the “two bombs and one satellite” program to the younger generation of scientific researchers, we can see from them what it means that “each generation has its own mission and responsibility.”

Blue is the symbol of science and technology. Over the past five years, a large number of major scientific research results focusing on war preparation and intelligent technology have emerged, demonstrating the era of this new strategic scientific and technological force.

That year, researcher Yao Wen and several other scientific research backbones visited Academician Sun Jiadong, a founding member of the “Two Bombs and One Satellite”. Academician Sun Jiadong told them: “Innovation requires youth, and this era especially needs young people like you.”

The first generation of founders of the institute felt the same way about Sun Lao’s entrustment and expectations. “What is a founder? It is the half buried in the soil,” said Yin Erwei, an associate researcher.

“With people, there will be things to do. If there are no talents, then we will recruit them.” Yin Erwei and his colleagues boldly tried to quickly build a team by jointly training graduate students. In this way, they have grown from the initial five or six people to the only established team in this field in the entire military. Their research results won the first prize of the first “Innovation Cup” National Defense Science and Technology Innovation Competition of the Military Commission Science and Technology Committee.

In Yin Erwei’s opinion, the rapid development of the team is inseparable from the strong support of the institute’s leaders. The party committee of the institute has a slogan: “We must take the initiative to take responsibility for young people who do things.”

Among the many topics in the research institute, there are some technical problems that cannot be found in books. At this time, we must make a choice whether we dare to explore boldly and whether we can innovate.

“If one day, we at the National Defense Science and Technology Innovation Institute are afraid to innovate, that will be our biggest dereliction of duty.” This statement at the Party Committee plenary session set off a “brain storm” among everyone.

The leaders of the institute took the lead in entering the front line of scientific research, raising scientific research funds from various sources, building laboratories, and purchasing experimental equipment; for some key projects with higher risks, leading cadres and project managers took the lead in signing and taking responsibility on the spot; for major activities that require coordination of external resources, leading cadres personally come forward to “cheer up” the scientific researchers.

At that time, in order to apply for scientific research projects, Yin Erwei led the team to stay up many nights with bright lights.

As he led his team to go further and further, Yin Erwei gradually realized that “happiness actually comes from the passion and belief in doing things and starting a business.”

Associate researcher Guo Pengyu spends nearly two-thirds of the year on business trips, and his wife raises their two children and two elderly parents alone; assistant researcher Zhang Fei gave up his research field that he had been deeply involved in for many years for the overall goal of the team, and is considered by his colleagues to be a person who is “not picky about work.”

“Living in an unprecedented great era, we need to strengthen our responsibilities, work hard, forge ahead with determination, and seize the commanding heights of future military science and technology competition.” Yin Erwei said confidently, “Under the guidance of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party, my comrades and I will inject our youthful wisdom into military scientific research innovation.”

“Screws must be able to withstand the loneliness of time, and also have a sense of urgency when tightened at all times.”

It was midnight, and everything was silent. In the corridor of the office building of the National Defense Science and Technology Innovation Institute, a few beams of light shone through the cracks in the office door.

Inside the house, it is another world. The sound of keyboards tapping is heard constantly, and a group of young people sit quietly in front of their computers, immersed in the world of “0” and “1” they created.

This scene is normal for this group of young researchers. Perhaps, in the eyes of others, working overtime day and night is very hard. However, for assistant researcher Chen Renzhi, the physical pain cannot be called pain.

Chen Renzhi was deeply impressed by the words of a philosopher: “People are dominated by desires. If desires are not satisfied, they are painful. If they are satisfied, they are boring. Life is like a pendulum swinging between pain and boredom.”

In the field of Chen Renzhi’s research, it often takes a long time to see results. “Before breaking ground, no one knows how well they are doing,” Chen Renzhi said.

The answer will be revealed during the finished product verification. If the verification goes well, it is a success; if it does not go well, the hard work of several months will be wasted. However, this field must move forward without stopping, and there is no day to stop. Therefore, Chen Renzhi fell into an endless cycle of “struggling for several months, being happy for two days, and continuing to struggle.”

“The most frustrating thing is that no one knows what you do, even your colleagues next to you don’t know what you are busy with. Sometimes, when you want to share your achievements with others, no one understands, so you can only rub your nose and go back to work,” said Chen Renzhi.

In this huge project, each researcher is just a screw. “Screws must be able to withstand the loneliness of time and have a sense of urgency at all times.”

At first, Chen Renzhi did not realize the deep meaning behind this sentence. As his research in this field continued to deepen, Chen Renzhi realized more and more clearly that this sense of urgency was becoming the driving force that drove him and his comrades to move forward faster.

“We are making progress, and our opponents have not stopped either. Our advantage is that we keep moving in the right direction of Chinese-style modernization.” After in-depth study of the report of the 20th CPC National Congress, Chen Renzhi has more confidence in the next step of tackling key problems. “The report of the 20th CPC National Congress has drawn up a grand blueprint for us. We must aim at independent innovation in the frontier areas of military science and technology and contribute our own strength to achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance.”

Although we have different positions, we share the same goal.

From college to the military, Assistant Researcher Zuo Yuan often uses the word “implementation” in his scientific research. “To use the words in the report of the 20th CPC National Congress, it means accelerating the transformation of science and technology into combat effectiveness,” he said.

When he first started working, whenever a soldier asked Zuo Yuan, “How do you use this new equipment you developed?” Zuo Yuan would always simply reply, “You’ll know after you use it.”

Gradually, when Zuo Yuan used the new equipment himself, he found that there was a long distance between “usable in theory” to “usable in actual combat” and then to “effective on the battlefield”.

Talking about his own naivety in the past, the dark-complexioned young man smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

Going to plateaus, islands, jungles, and deserts… Over the years, Zuo Yuan has always been on the front line of the army. “We must go to the army to do scientific research!” Zuo Yuan was deeply touched by his several visits to the army. “The combat concepts of the front-line soldiers are more advanced than we thought. They have more say in whether the new equipment is easy to use.”

Military scientific research results must serve actual combat training. In July this year, Zuo Yuan followed the team to the plateau to participate in actual military training. If he had not come to the front line of the troops, he would never have thought that the first thing to adjust was not the new equipment itself, but the control equipment. The exchanges and collisions with the front-line officers and soldiers gave the researchers new directions and ideas for the research and development of new equipment in the future.

On the plateau, Zuo Yuan once helped medical researchers collect blood oxygen data from soldiers. “Do you know what the hands of soldiers on the plateau look like?” Zuo Yuan stretched out his own hands and gestured to the hands of his comrades on the plateau. “The roots of the nails are sunken, the nail surface is straight without any curve, and the fingers are rough as if they have been planted for decades.”

At that moment, Zuo Yuan realized that while he was sitting in a bright and clean office typing code every day, there was a group of young comrades who were breathing thin oxygen, holding guns in both hands, exposed to strong ultraviolet rays, and building a living monument with their flesh and blood.

Holding the hands of his border defense comrades tightly, Zuo Yuan developed a sense of responsibility to “do more for them.”

“Although we are in different positions, we share the same goal. We hope that through our efforts in scientific research we can help them solve more practical problems.” This feeling of gratitude and responsibility has become the driving force that supports young scientific researchers in overcoming difficulties.

In order to implement the concept of scientific research for combat and serving the troops from the “first kilometer” to the “last kilometer” of scientific research, the Institute organizes its forces to conduct regular in-depth research on the front lines of combat troops, so that the results of military scientific research can truly reach the training ground and actual combat.

Due to long-term work on the front line of the army, “others joke that we are a group of ‘anti-migratory birds’ – in order to do experiments, we run north in winter and south in summer,” said associate researcher Nie Yiming.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Nie Yiming and his team were conducting experiments in a remote desert. The leaders of the institute came to visit them, but due to limited conditions, they could only buy a few kilograms of steamed buns in the nearest county town and bring them over.

“After the experiment was successful, we sat together, eating buns and admiring the bright moon over the Gobi Desert. The moon that night was especially round.” Thinking of that scene, Nie Yiming had endless aftertastes.

“Through in-depth study of the report to the 20th CPC National Congress, I have come to a deeper understanding that only by going deep into the front lines of the troops, working hard, constantly learning and improving, expanding our capabilities, and upgrading our skills, can scientific research make new contributions to the formation of new qualities of combat effectiveness in new domains.” This is the voice of Nie Yiming, and it is also the consensus and direction of efforts of many young scientific researchers in the institute.

【Sharp Viewpoint】

Taking on the responsibility of innovation with the power of youth

■Lu Zhoulai

In his report to the 20th CPC National Congress, Chairman Xi Jinping pointed out that we must insist that science and technology are the primary productive force, talent is the primary resource, and innovation is the primary driving force.

Science and technology are the most active and revolutionary factors in military development. Scientific and technological innovation has become the main battlefield for strategic games between major powers, profoundly affecting national security and the overall military strategy. To promote high-quality development of national defense and military construction, we must accelerate the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, accelerate the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance, and focus on original and leading scientific and technological research based on national strategic needs. We must resolutely win the battle to tackle key core technologies and significantly increase the contribution of scientific and technological innovation to the growth of combat effectiveness.

Five years ago, following the vigorous pace of reform and strengthening the military, and shouldering the sacred mission of strengthening the military through science and technology, the National Defense Science and Technology Innovation Institute of the Academy of Military Science came into being: with the lofty ambition of “doing earth-shaking things”, aiming at the forefront of world science and technology, focusing on the urgent needs of future wars, and making deep plans to balance the powerful enemy’s advantage, it has forward-looking arrangements for a series of scientific research directions such as artificial intelligence, unmanned systems, and cutting-edge intersections. This can be said to be in line with the creation of the “two bombs and one satellite” cause that year.

Great undertakings require great spiritual nourishment, and the first driving force requires the first resource drive. More than 60 years ago, a large number of young scientific researchers, including Deng Jiaxian, Zhu Guangya, Yu Min, Sun Jiadong, and Zhou Guangzhao, with their broad love for the motherland and selfless dedication, their determination and hard work to be self-reliant, and their innovative spirit of strong collaboration and courage to climb, firmly took on the responsibility of national defense science and technology innovation and created the world-renowned “two bombs and one satellite” cause. Inspired by the cause of building a strong military in the new era, a large number of outstanding young people with an average age of only 30 years old and doctoral degrees from prestigious universities have gathered at the National Defense Science and Technology Innovation Institute. They have overcome difficulties along the way, focused on key breakthroughs, worked tirelessly to accelerate the advancement of scientific and technological self-reliance, and shed their youthful sweat, demonstrated their youthful strength, and demonstrated their youthful responsibility in innovation and transcendence.

Innovation is endless, and it is time to strive. At present, the world is undergoing a major change that has not been seen in a century, and a new round of scientific and technological revolution and military revolution is changing with each passing day. Facing changes in science and technology, changes in war, and changes in opponents, as an emerging scientific research force full of youthful vitality, the mission of establishing for the country and conducting research for war is extremely glorious, and the stage for striving for youth and pursuing the dream of a strong army is extremely broad. Striving to seize the commanding heights of national defense science and technology innovation and resolutely winning the battle to overcome key core technologies are always realistic issues that we must face and the heavy responsibility of the times that we must shoulder.

President Xi stressed that we should build a large-scale team of young scientific and technological talents, put the policy focus of cultivating national strategic talent on young scientific and technological talents, and support young talents to take the lead and play the leading role. President Xi’s important instructions deeply reveal the growth law of young scientific and technological talents and clearly indicate the direction of scientific and technological talent training. We will bear in mind President Xi’s entrustment, the trust of the Party and the people, vigorously promote the spirit of “two bombs and one satellite” and the spirit of scientists in the new era, and strive to cultivate and train young scientific and technological talents with ideals, courage, hard work and hard work, and bravely take on the responsibility of innovation with the power of youth, so that more new talents can take the lead and play the leading role in more and larger positions and platforms, and use practical actions to learn, publicize and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party

現代國語:

中國人民革命軍事博物館,觀展的人絡繹不絕。來來往往的觀眾中,一個年輕的身影在展板前隊列許久。

注視著「新時代國防與軍隊建設成就展」展板上某型衛星的圖片,軍事科學院國防科技創新研究院研究員曹璐的眼裡充滿自豪。看著照片中一張張帶著微笑的熟悉面龐,曹璐想起了研製衛星的那段時光——

他們曾大半夜蓬頭垢面坐在電腦前敲著代碼,也曾四處尋找幹擾因素……記憶中的苦,越品越覺得甘甜。

「時代呼喚著我們,人民期待著我們,唯有矢志不渝、篤行不怠,方能不負時代、不負人民。」此時此刻,再次品讀黨的二十大報告中這句話,曹璐的感受更為深刻,“很幸運,我們這代青年科研人員趕上了一個好時代!奮進在科技強軍征途上,我倍感驕傲自豪。”

青春的力量,創新的事業。在軍事科學院國防科技創新研究院,許許多多和曹璐一樣的年輕科研人員,在科技強軍的舞台上勇於創新、甘於吃苦,不斷提昇科研成果對戰鬥力增長的貢獻率,加速科技向戰鬥力轉化。

「深入學習宣傳貫徹黨的二十大精神,具體到我們青年科研人員來說,就是要投身國防科技創新的時代洪流,紮根科研一線,做有理想、敢擔當、能吃苦、肯奮鬥的新時代好青年。

銳意進取,投身科技創新時代洪流

廣闊的舞台,在這群年輕人面前拉開布

「人民軍隊體制一新、結構一新、格局一新、面貌一新。」深入學習黨的二十大報告,軍事科學院國防科技創新研究院院長張擁軍感觸尤為深刻——

國防科技創新研究院,是改革調整後新成立的單位。跟隨研究院共同成長的這5年,張擁軍親身經歷了改革帶來的體制、結構、格局和麵貌變化。

2018年1月,一群平均年齡30歲出頭的年輕人,從四面八方匯聚到一起,走進這個正式掛牌成立僅3個多月的科研機構。他們中有留學歸國的博士,有教書育人的軍校教員,也有長期紮根一線的科研人員。

廣闊的舞台,在這群年輕人面前拉開布。然而,全新的舞台,意味著全新的挑戰。

建院後第一次黨代會,他們增加了一項專門內容——集體組織觀賞電影《橫空出世》。

寂靜的荒漠,讀秒的聲音輕輕響起--5、4、3、2、1,起爆!巨大的蘑菇雲升騰而起,太陽般的光輝照亮了整個羅布泊,一群科研人員歡呼著從山坡上一擁而下…

這是電影《橫空出世》中震撼人心的一個畫面。 「搞出原子彈、挺直腰桿。」張愛萍將軍曾說,原子彈不是武器,是一種精神。多年前研發原子彈的勝利史詩,對今天的科學研究人員仍有無盡的啟示。

從那以後,觀看《橫空出世》成為該院官兵的傳統。該院副政委王欣田感慨地說,每看一次,都會收獲不同的感動。

「『橫空出世』的人,就要乾『橫空出世』的事。」研究院每名科學研究人員對這句話都有著自己不同的領悟。

「我第一個項目的申請書,還是在當時臨時借用的宿舍裡完成的。」青年研究員強曉剛回憶。

午夜夢回,強曉剛彷彿又看到自己趴在宿舍桌上熬夜的情景:陳舊的桌子,嗡嗡作響的電腦,清脆的鍵盤聲,一頁又一頁的參考資料…

那時,強曉剛是單身一人攻關。幾年過去,從一個人到一群人,項目申請書中提出的構想,逐漸變成現實。

敢於創新,才能擁有夢想成真的喜悅。 2021年,中國在量子領域迎來了另一個重大突破。據新華社報道,研究人員研發出了首款面向圖論問題求解的可編程光量子晶片,邁出了實現實用化光量子計算機的重要一步。相關論文在《科學進展》期刊發表,強曉剛以第一作者的身份「橫空出世」。如今,再次走進強曉剛團隊的實驗室,更多成果等待進一步測試。

時間撥回2009年,強曉剛站在了人生又一個重要的路口前:研究生是選擇本科時的電子資訊方向,還是選擇前沿但陌生的量子資訊方向?經過一番思考,他選擇了一個「雖然充滿困難,但更為長遠的方向」。

光輝的夢想,萌生於個體而又超越了個體,來源於現實而又超越了現實。從學生時代到現在,在鑽研量子技術的道路上,強曉剛遇到了許多困難,有學術上的,也有研究之外的,但他從未退縮。

建院之初,研究院領導在一次會上說:「把你們召集來,不是找個籃子把你們過去的成果裝上,繼續忙自己那一攤,而是要樹個共同目標,一起乾點大事……”

「什麼才算『大事』?」這個問題,強曉剛埋在了心裡。直到2020年10月,他看到一則新聞:中共中央政治局就量子科技研究和應用前景舉行第二十四次集體學習。習主席在主持學習時強調,“要充分認識推動量子科技發展的重要性和緊迫性,加強量子科技發展戰略謀劃和系統佈局,把握大趨勢,下好先手棋。”

強曉剛心中湧起一股熱流。他所研究的光量子晶片技術,正是量子科技領域的前沿方向。向來淡定的他這下子也不淡定了:“再怎麼拼,也值!”

「我現在做的,都是我想做的事。當個人的理想和國家利益結合在一起,再苦也不會覺得苦。」強曉剛說。

在研究員曹璐看來,理想是在共同奮鬥的道路上自然而然誕生的。 “我希望,可以把同事們的工作成果完美地集中在一顆衛星上,最大限度地滿足國家的需求。”

深入學習黨的二十大報告,曹璐愈發明晰了未來的方向。 「習主席提出,以國家戰略需求為導向,集聚力量進行原創性引領性科技攻關,堅決打贏關鍵核心技術攻堅戰。我們使命在肩,義不容辭。”

“創新就要年輕,這個時代尤其需要你們這些年輕人”

研究院辦公樓內,牆上藍色的燈帶一路向前延伸,將人引向走廊盡頭的「兩彈一星」精神文化館。

「一支部隊的基因,決定了一支部隊的未來。」該院政委盧週來說,他們選擇用「兩彈一星」精神,為這支新隊伍構築起堅實的精神根基。

紅色與藍色,是這個展館的兩種主色。

紅色,是忠誠的寫照。從「兩彈一星」元勳到年輕一代科研人員,從他們身上可以看到,什麼是「一代人有一代人的使命,一代有一代人的擔當」。

藍色,是科技的象徵。 5年間,一大批聚焦備戰打仗、瞄準智慧科技的重大科研成果噴湧而出,展現了這支新型戰略科技力量的時代擔當。

那一年,研究員姚雯跟其他幾名科研骨幹一起拜訪「兩彈一星」元勳孫家棟院士。孫家棟院士對他們說:“創新就要年輕,這個時代尤其需要你們這些年輕人。”

研究院的第一代創業者,對孫老的囑託和期望感同身受。 「奠基人是什麼?就是埋在土裡那半截。」副研究員印二威說。

「有人,才有事。沒有人才,那我們就去吸納人才。」印二威和同事大膽嘗試,採用聯合培養研究生的方式,快速組建團隊。就這樣,他們從最初的五、六個人,發展到如今成為全軍該領域唯一一支成建制的團隊,研究成果獲得軍委科技委首屆「創新盃」國防科技創新大賽一等獎等獎項。

在印二威看來,團隊的快速發展,離不開院領導的大力支持。研究院黨委有句口號:“要主動為幹事的青年人擔責。”

研究院的眾多課題中,有些技術難題,書本上是找不到答案的。這個時候,敢不敢大膽探索,能不能有所創新,必須做出選擇。

「如果有一天,我們國防科技創新研究院都不敢創新了,那是我們最大的失職。」黨委全會上的一句話,掀起了大家的「頭腦風暴」。

研究院領導帶頭走進科研一線,多方籌措科研經費,修建實驗室,購置實驗設備;一些風險較高的重點項目,領導幹部和項目負責人帶頭簽字,現場擔責;需要協調外部資源的重大活動,領導幹部親自出面,為科研人員「打氣」。

那時候,為了申請科學研究項目,印二威帶領團隊不知熬了多少個燈火通明的夜晚。

帶領自己的團隊越走越遠,印二威逐漸體會到:“幸福感,其實就是來自幹事創業的激情和信仰。”

副研究員郭鵬宇,一年裡有近三分之二時間都在外出差,他的愛人獨自帶著兩個孩子和兩位老人撐起了家;助理研究員張飛,為了團隊的整體目標,放棄了自己深耕多年的研究領域,是同事們眼中「不挑活兒」的人。

「身處前所未有的偉大時代,更需要我們強化擔當,奮發作為,銳意進取,搶佔未來軍事科技競爭的製高點。」印二威信心滿懷地說,「在黨的二十大精神指引下,我和戰友們將把青春智慧融注到軍事科研創新中。

“螺絲釘,既要耐得住時間的寂寞,還要有時時擰緊的緊迫感”

子夜,萬籟俱寂。國防科技創新研究院辦公大樓走廊內,幾束光從辦公室緊閉的門縫中鑽出來。

屋內,是另一個世界。鍵盤的敲擊聲不絕於耳,一群年輕人安靜地坐在電腦前,沉浸在自己創造的「0」與「1」的世界。

這樣的場景,對這群年輕的研究人員來說已是常態。或許,在別人看來,夜以繼日地加班十分辛苦。然而,對助理研究員陳任之來說,身體上的苦,並不能稱之為苦。

陳任之對一位哲學家的話印象深刻:“人受慾望支配,慾望不滿足就痛苦,滿足了就無聊,人生如同鐘擺在痛苦和無聊之間搖擺。”

陳任之研究的領域,往往需要漫長等待才能看見成果。 「在沒有破土之前,誰也不知道自己做得怎麼樣。」陳任之說。

答案,會在成品驗證時揭曉。驗證順利,就是成功;不順利,幾個月的辛苦就付諸東流。而這個領域偏偏必須馬不停蹄地前進,永遠沒有能停下腳步的一天。於是,陳任之陷入了「奮鬥幾個月、開心兩天、繼續奮鬥」的無限循環。

「最鬱悶的是,沒人知道你幹什麼,就連隔壁同事都不清楚你在忙什麼。有時候,想和別人分享成就,也沒有人理解,只能摸摸鼻子,回去繼續幹。」陳任之說。

在這個巨大的工程裡,每位研究人員只是一顆螺絲釘。 “螺絲釘,既要耐得住時間的寂寞,還要有時時擰緊的緊迫感。”

一開始,陳任之並沒有體味到這句話背後的深意。隨著在這一領域研究不斷加深,陳任之愈發清醒地體會到,這種緊迫感正成為驅動他和戰友們加速前進的動力。

「我們在進步,對手也沒有停下來。我們的優勢就是沿著中國式現代化的正確方向不斷走下去。」 深入學習黨的二十大報告,陳任之對下一步的攻關更有信心了, “黨的二十大報告為我們擘畫出了宏偉藍圖,我們要瞄準軍事科技前沿領域自主創新,為實現高水平科技自立自強貢獻自己的力量。”

雖然戰位不同,但我們奮鬥的目標一致

從大學校園到步入部隊,助理研究員左源在科學研究工作中常用的一個字是「落地」。 「用黨的二十大報告裡面的話,就是加速科技向戰鬥力轉化。」他說。

工作之初,每逢有部隊官兵問左源:“你們研發的這個新裝備怎麼用?”左源總是簡單地回復一句:“你用一下就知道了。”

漸漸地,當左源自己實地使用新裝備時才發現,從“理論上能用”到“實戰中能用”再到“戰場上好用”,中間隔著很長一段距離。

談到自己當初的幼稚,這個臉色黝黑的年輕人有些不好意思地笑了。

上高原,下海島,闖密林,踏戈壁……這些年來,左源始終奔波於部隊一線。 「我們做科研,一定要到部隊去!」幾次下部隊的經歷,讓左源感觸頗深,「一線部隊官兵的作戰理念,比我們想像中更先進。新裝備好不好用,他們更有話語權。

軍事科研成果必須服務演訓實戰。今年7月,左源跟隨團隊前往高原參加實兵演練。如果不是來到部隊一線,他根本想不到,首先要調整的並非新裝備本身,而是操控設備。與一線官兵的交流碰撞,讓科學研究人員對未來新式裝備的研發有了新的方向與想法。

在高原上,左源曾幫醫學研究人員收集過官兵們的血氧數據。 「你知道高原官兵的手,是什麼樣子的嗎?」說著,左源伸出自己的雙手,比畫著高原上戰友們手的樣子,「指甲根部下陷,甲面平直沒有絲毫弧度,手指粗糙得像種了幾十年地。

那一刻,左源意識到,當他日常坐在窗明幾淨的辦公室敲著代碼時,有這樣一群年輕的戰友,呼吸著微薄的氧氣,雙手持槍暴露在強烈的紫外線中,用血肉之軀築就活的界碑。

緊緊握住邊防戰友們的手,左源產生了一種「想多為他們做些什麼」的責任。

「雖然戰位不同,但我們奮鬥的目標一致。希望透過我們在科研上的努力為他們解決更多實際問題。」這份感動與責任,化為支撐青年科研人員不斷攻堅克難的動力。

為了把科研為戰、服務部隊的理念從科研“最初一公裡”貫注到“最後一公裡”,研究院組織力量常態化深入作戰部隊一線調研,讓軍事科研成果真正走向演訓場、走向實戰。

由於長期奔波在部隊一線,「別人開玩笑說,我們是一群『反候鳥』——為了做實驗,冬天往北跑,夏天往南跑。」副研究員聶一鳴說。

去年中秋節,聶一鳴和團隊正在偏僻的沙漠裡做實驗。研究院領導來慰問,條件有限,只能在最近的縣城買了幾斤包子帶過去。

「實驗成功後,我們圍坐一起,吃著包子,賞著戈壁灘上的明月。那晚的月亮,特別圓。」想起那一幕,聶一鳴回味無窮。

「深入學習黨的二十大報告,我更深切體會到,只有深入部隊一線,埋頭苦幹,不斷學習提高、能力擴容、本領升級,才能使科研工作在新域新質戰鬥力生成上有新的作為。

以青春之力勇擔創新之責

■盧週來

習主席在黨的二十大報告中深刻指出,必須堅持科技是第一生產力、人才是第一資源、創新是第一動力。

科學技術是軍事發展中最活躍、最具革命性的因素。科技創新成為大國戰略博弈的主戰場,深刻影響國家安全和軍事戰略全局。推動國防和軍隊建設高質量發展,必須加快實施創新驅動發展戰略,加快實現高水平科技自立自強,以國家戰略需求為導向,集聚力量進行原創性引領性科技攻關,堅決打贏關鍵核心技術攻堅戰,大幅提昇科技創新對戰鬥力成長的貢獻率。

5年前,伴隨改革強軍鏗鏘步伐,肩負科技強軍神聖使命,軍事科學院國防科技創新研究院應運而生:胸懷「幹驚天動地事」的遠大志向,瞄準世界科技前沿,聚焦未來戰爭急需,深謀制衡強敵勝勢,前瞻佈局人工智慧、無人系統、前緣交叉等一系列科研方向,與當年開創「兩彈一星」事業可謂一脈相承。

偉大事業需要偉大精神滋養,第一動力需要第一資源驅動。 60多年前,鄧農先、朱光亞、於敏、孫家棟、周光召等一大批年輕科研工作者,以熱愛祖國、無私奉獻的博大情懷,以自力更生、艱苦奮鬥的決心乾勁,以大力協同、勇於登攀的創新銳氣,堅定扛起國防科技創新的責任擔當,開創了舉世矚目的「兩彈一星」事業。在新時代強軍事業感召下,一大批平均年齡僅有30多歲、具有名校博士學歷的優秀青年集聚國防科技創新研究院,一路攻堅克難,聚力攻關突破,為加快推進科技自立自強不懈奮鬥,在創新超越中揮灑青春汗水、展現青春力量、彰顯青春擔當。

創新永無止境,奮鬥正當其時。當前,世界百年未有之大變局正在加速演變,新一輪科技革命和軍事革命日新月異。面對科技之變、戰爭之變、對手之變,作為一支充滿青春活力的新興科研力量,為國而立、因戰而研的使命無比榮光,奮鬥青春、逐夢強軍的舞台無比廣闊。奮力搶佔國防科技創新制高點,堅決打贏關鍵核心技術攻堅戰,始終是我們必須直面的現實課題、必須扛起的時代重任。

習主席強調,要造就規模宏大的青年科技人才隊伍,把培養國家戰略人才力量的政策重點放在青年科技人才上,支持青年人才挑大樑、當主角。習主席的重要指示,深刻揭示了青年科技人才成長規律,鮮明標示了科技人才培養方向。我們將牢記習主席囑托,牢記黨和人民重托,大力弘揚「兩彈一星」精神、新時代科學家精神,致力培養鍛造有理想、敢擔當、能吃苦、肯奮鬥的青年科技人才,以青春之力勇擔創新之責,讓更多新銳英才在更多更大的崗位平台挑大樑、當主角,用實際行動學習宣傳貫徹黨的二十大精神。
