In modern military warfare, information warfare has become the focus of attack and defense between the enemy and us, and the information command center has become the primary target. In order to protect these important facilities, countries began to study how to conceal and protect command centers, and underground construction command centers became the mainstream.
However, in order to conquer the underground command center, the advanced ground-penetrating bomb can easily penetrate the thick cement and carry out precise strikes against military targets buried deep underground, making the reinforced concrete useless.
Just when the ground-penetrating bomb caused a headache for various countries, Wu Biao, a young researcher at the National Defense Engineering Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, stood up, and he successfully developed a high-strength cement material that can effectively resist the attack of the ground-penetrating bomb.
Since World War II, the power and precision of the nuclear program have been greatly improved, and the birth of nuclear weapons has formed a major military deterrent to various countries. The trend of modern warfare is informationization, and all military needs rely on the information command center as the brain.
In order to protect this critical brain, countries have built underground bases that are buried hundreds of meters deep underground and are strong to prevent nuclear weapons. Several wars in the nineties of the last century also demonstrated the importance of underground protection works, such as the war in 1991, which showed its key role.
Despite its defeat, Iraq retained considerable military strength thanks to its effective command of ground forces and the successful preservation of a large number of aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles.
Similarly, the underground command center that played a role on the battlefield in 1999 was usually buried dozens of meters underground, surrounded by strong military fortifications, hidden in the depths of a reinforced concrete forest, and able to withstand conventional attacks.
In the face of such real-world cases, the military powers led by the United States are studying how to attack such targets buried deep underground, so they have developed a special type of warhead such as ground-penetrating bombs.
Ground-penetrating bombs are specially designed munitions that carry special penetrating warheads and can effectively attack a variety of hard targets, including airport runways, ground reinforcement targets and underground facilities.
The ground-penetrating bomb is mainly composed of a projectile body and an penetrating warhead, which in turn is composed of a penetrating warhead, a high-explosive charge and a fuse. Compared to other munitions, ground-penetrating bullets have their own unique characteristics.
First of all, its length-to-diameter ratio has increased significantly, and the thickness of the projectile body has also doubled. Secondly, the warhead and body are made of high-strength steel and heavy metal alloy materials, and are coated with a heat-resistant coating both inside and outside the missile body.
These special materials and designs make the ground-penetrating projectile have a strong penetrating power, which can easily penetrate hundreds of millimeters of cement structures, and some can even penetrate hundreds of meters deep into the target body.
Ground-penetrating bombs are implemented"Surgery"The main force of the strike**. Its high accuracy and great penetration power have made it an important role in many wars and military operations.
Whether it's defending or offensive, the Ground Penetrating Bullet is a very powerful tool.
With more than a dozen types of ground-penetrating bombs around the world, they form a powerful family of underground saboteurs that can leave defenders at a loss. Without effective means of protection, military installations are open to the threat of ground-penetrating bombs.
Modern military warfare is a process of checks and balances and counter-checks and balances, and such a sharp sword naturally attracts a strong shield to resist it. And this young Chinese Wu Biao created a shield against ground-penetrating bullets in this context.
Wu Biao, born in 1974 in the mountains of Huangping, Guizhou, has been farming here for generations, and his life has never been out of the restrictions of the mountains. His name comes from his father's expectation, and this complex character "飚" symbolizes momentum and drive, and he is expected to carry this momentum out of the mountains and create a career that surpasses his father's generation.
Living up to his father's expectations, Wu Biao has shown excellent learning ability since he was a child, has a high enthusiasm for learning, and has become a rare student in the village who is admitted to university. Before college, his father specially told Wu Biao that even if he walked out of the mountains, he must work hard and not embarrass his hometown fathers and villagers.
With his father's expectations, Wu Biao graduated from the former Engineering Academy of the Engineer Forces in July 1996 and was assigned to a military research institute in Luoyang. He has dreamed of being a scientist since he was a child, and now, he is a soldier and has fulfilled his dream of becoming a scientist.
He cherished this rare opportunity. However, on his first day on the job, he was greeted with an unexpected setback. The institute arranged Wu Biao to engage in the research of first-class effect and engineering protection.
However, when he reported for duty on the first day, the senior researchers at the institute gave him a bunch of materials for him to familiarize himself with first. Opening the thick information, Wu Biao was shocked.
The material was completely different from what he had previously learned, and it was completely unfamiliar territory to him. Is it true that all the knowledge I have learned in four years of college has been in vain?
In fact, in the field of military science and technology, there is a big gap between theoretical and practical research. The materials that the research institute showed Wu Biao just hoped that he could familiarize himself with and get into the role as soon as possible, but did not expect him to understand and contribute immediately.
Wu Biao is very competitive, and he is unwilling to admit that he doesn't understand anything. So, he began to read voraciously in the library, hoping to fit all the knowledge into his head.
He was the first to arrive at the library every day, and the last to leave, with or without a stool, he would sit on the floor and concentrate on reading, completely unconcerned about the mess of the environment.
On weekends, he would borrow several thick books and go home to continue reading, and this intensive learning method allowed him to quickly master professional skills and become a qualified military science and technology researcher.
At the same time, he unexpectedly finds love in the library.
Wu Biao and Gan Songping's acquaintance was an accident. Once, Wu Biao was fascinated by reading books in the library, and it wasn't until Gan Songping and his colleagues came to work that they found him locked inside.
This experience left a deep impression on them, and they gradually developed feelings. Wu Biao's scientific research often requires field experiments, and he always brings a bouquet of wildflowers to Gan Songping, which witnesses their love journey.
With Wu Biao's continuous breakthroughs in the field of scientific research, in 1999, he independently undertook the experimental project to carry out the scientific research and design of a new type of bullet shielding layer.
In order to develop high-strength cement that can resist military ground-penetrating bombs, Wu Biao decided to set up a bomb shielding layer on military engineering facilities. However, there is still a blank in the research and development of this cement at home and abroad.
In the process of research, Wu Biao learned that there was a kind of high-strength cement that could be referenced, so he went to the domestic sales market to find a seller. However, at that time, only one company was selling this cement, and it was in high demand.
When Wu Biao found the seller, the other party told him not to sell unless he asked for more than dozens of tons. Wu Biao only needs a few hundred kilograms of experimental research at most, and the institute does not have that much funding.
For this reason, Wu Biao decided to help lift the cement there, hoping to win the favor of the seller's boss so that he could buy cement. Wu Biao was originally from a hard background, and he worked very hard to carry cement, and the workers together thought that he had just been hired by the boss, and asked him about the clothes on his body that he bought from **.
Wu Biao, who was in military uniform, couldn't help crying and laughing, and the boss was also moved by his sincerity, and finally fulfilled his wish. Wu Biao immediately returned to the research institute with the high-strength cement he bought to start the experiment.
The experiment required him to study formulas, record data, and perform statistical analysis in the laboratory like a scientist, and he also needed to use heavy physical strength to pour cement into hard boards and conduct field tests like migrant workers.
In this regard, Wu Biao did not hesitate to undertake all the tasks. With each pouring process, changes in recipes and materials bring about different effects. There are no shortcuts to scientific research, and the optimal solution can only be found through continuous experimentation, data collection and analysis, and adjustment of formulations after finding patterns.
In the process, Wu Biao's hand was punctured by countless steel bars during pouring, but he never complained of pain and continued to fight after casually bandaging it. He knows that every pouring is another step towards the final answer.
High-strength cement will release a lot of heat when it is solidified, and when the ambient temperature is low, it is inherently beneficial to the setting and can reduce the experimental error. Therefore, Wu Biao chose to solidify the concrete in the middle of the night, when the temperature was at its lowest.
Every late at night, Wu Biao would leave the warm bed and go straight to the laboratory. He was busy until the early hours of the morning before dragging his tired body home. His new wife, on the other hand, would often wake up in the middle of the night to find that he was not at home, mistakenly thinking that he was in trouble.
After countless attempts and failures, Wu Biao finally overcame this technical problem and successfully developed the high-strength concrete required by the military. His tenacity and perseverance moved everyone.
At the time of acceptance, the magic cement developed by Wu Biao amazed the audience. Ordinary cement was easily cut in front of the ground-drilling bullet like tofu, but the same powerful ground-drilling warhead hit Wu Biao's magical cement, but it could not break through, leaving only a trace of a white spot.
The results of such experiments show that even powerful ground-penetrating bombs have a strong shield that can restrain them. People call the magic cement developed by Wu Biao as "magic cement".
In 2002, Wu Biao's new bullet shield project won the first prize of the Military Science and Technology Progress Award, and was successfully applied to the construction of a key national defense project, becoming an important technical support for building a strong protective shield for the Republic.
Wu Biao was only 28 years old this year.
Time flies, since Wu Biao created the magic cement has been more than 20 years, and now he has shouldered heavy responsibilities in the field of military science and technology, and has become a leading figure of science and technology experts.
After creating a solid shield to protect the sword, the focus of his research has shifted to the offensive field, our country needs to develop more powerful ground-penetrating warheads, and Wu Biao, who has developed high-strength cement, has now shouldered the major task of improving the damage effect and evaluation of targets.
He needs to carefully set up the concrete target plate for our missiles to test the attack, and after the test, he will collect the data for analysis and then optimize the design of our warhead.
Wu Biao's mission is to use the shield he developed to constantly sharpen our own sword. In order to accomplish this task, he not only rarely sat in the laboratory, but also traveled all over the motherland to work at the missile test launch site.
Over the years, he has stepped on mountains, crossed deserts, and spent most of his time in field experiments. His rigor and carefulness have made countless experiments without fail.
However, from 2020 to 2021, due to the impact of the epidemic, he needed to travel all year round, and he had little time to stay at home. He travels around the country, sometimes stranded in areas at risk because of the risk of the epidemic, and when he returns home, he is quarantined and unable to see his family.
After the quarantine ended, he had to go on a business trip immediately after a short get-together, and what Wu Biao owed the most was his son who was about to take the college entrance examination. His son also understands him and hopes that every time he goes on a business trip, he can bring back a map of the local area and see where his father went.
Now, he has a thick stack of maps covering almost every province in the country. Wu Biao's heart was full of guilt, but he could only hope that he would spend more time with his son in the coming days to help him get through this critical stage of the college entrance examination.
He was a sensible child, who never complained to his father about the hardships of life, but quietly studied hard, with the dream of becoming a scientist and hoping to contribute to the national defense of the motherland.
He was inspired by his father's series of achievements, which included several awards such as the second prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, the first prize of the Military Science and Technology Progress Award, and the national patent, as well as his personal second-class and third-class merits.
Just after the Spring Festival, Wu Biao once again embarked on the journey of scientific research, and he did not flinch in the face of heavy scientific research tasks. On the high hill of the missile test site, he looked in the direction of his home, wished his wife and son, and then resolutely rushed to the cement target board of the test site, collecting first-hand data, and he was willing to give everything in order to realize his dream.
Wu Biao: Innovative scientific research, guided by actual combat needs" In the CCTV-7 national defense military channel "Military Life" program, we saw the contradictory life of Wu Biao, a researcher at the Military Science and Defense Engineering Research Institute.
Guided by the needs of actual combat, he constantly innovated and tackled key problems, and charged on the battlefield of scientific research. In this process, Wu Biao was not only full of firm belief and determination, but also faced various challenges and difficulties.
However, he has always adhered to his scientific research post and practiced his love and responsibility for the cause of national defense with practical actions. His story allows us to see the perseverance and dedication of scientific researchers, and also makes us full of expectations for the future.
