" magic weapon" powerful force

In late autumn, a certain highland training ground, a certain unit is carrying out annual training. After the commander issued a detection order, the soldiers rushed out of a certain type of reconnaissance vehicle, carrying a green "small box" to carry out operations, and quickly detected the source and eliminated hidden dangers. This "small box" is a new type of portable spectrometer developed by a researcher Xiao Wuyun's innovative team.

Xiao Wuyun told reporters: "Don't look at its compact and unpretentious shape, but it has the identification and detection capabilities comparable to those of professional laboratories. It is a magic weapon that condenses our team for 16 years and strengthens our military. ', it has now mass-produced equipment troops." Xiao Wuyun said that the development of this spectrometer involves multiple technical fields, and it has high requirements for instrument design and manufacturing. Even today, only a few countries can produce it.

At the beginning of 2004, when Xiao Wuyun, a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Engineering Physics of Tsinghua University, launched an impact on the most advanced modern spectrometer technology in the world, a famous foreign nuclear instrument manufacturer said contemptuously: "Who do you think this is? Can you do it? Just buy ours.” Xiao Wuyun secretly made up his mind: “We must make our own spectrometer!”

He and a few like-minded young people on the team, Plunged into the laboratory. Starting from the basic research of technology, we will fight one after another difficult problems. After repeated practice, they rejected the models that have been used in foreign countries for decades, established more accurate and complex models, and achieved core technological breakthroughs in multiple professional fields; after countless research, design and testing, they successfully equipped various sub-systems Perfectly compatible, meet or exceed the design index. In 2015, this type of spectrometer, which was "a sword for ten years", was installed in the army, which reversed the passive situation of high-performance spectrometers that have long been dependent on imports, laying a solid foundation for professional development.

Xiao Wuyun often said to team members: "Future wars emphasize the systemic confrontation of equipment." In order to continue to promote the digital development of certain types of monitoring equipment and technologies, fundamentally improve the monitoring equipment of our army. With multiple categories and single functions, in 2013, Xiao Wuyun focused his research on the most cutting-edge technology research in certain types of instruments. He consulted millions of words in English literature, performed thousands of simulations and deductions, and finally made a major original breakthrough in the key link of model algorithm, and his research results were published in top international journals. Subsequently, he continued to deepen research on cutting-edge technologies, and promoted the continuous development of certain types of monitoring equipment technology in the direction of one machine with multiple capabilities and rapid and accurate reconnaissance.

In recent years, Xiao Wuyun has paid attention to a near-perfect new energy technology. Once a breakthrough is made, it will have a major impact on the future battlefield and even the economy and society. Therefore, it has attracted strong attention from many military powers. At present, it is the critical breakthrough period for this technology. Xiao Wuyun grasped development opportunities in time, met the requirements of scientific research transformation and reshaping, combined with scientific research and judgment on the frontier development of disciplines, grasped the huge development potential, and decisively proposed to open up a new energy research field. Currently, a number of projects have been declared, a laboratory is being set up, a research team has been formed, and R&D is off to a good start.

Xiao Wuyun's work focuses on basic research, and it is often difficult to produce results in the short term, and it is difficult to judge awards, but he does not care, but concentrates on basic theories and algorithm research, which has been used for more than 20 years. Accompanied by boring data and programs. Under his leadership and inspiration, the scientific research team formed a good atmosphere of "sit on the bench for ten years." Xiao Wuyun insists on uniting the team through his career, relying on scientific research democracy to tap the potential of scientific research, giving full play to everyone's ingenuity, and relying on teamwork to gather wisdom to tackle key problems.

In 2019, the scientific research and innovation team led by Xiao Wuyun was listed as one of the first pilot construction teams of the Institute. Under the leadership of Xiao Wuyun, team building and development have achieved remarkable results, with full tasks and a strong academic atmosphere. Many young researchers have quickly grown into independent direction leaders.
