The manatee, which dives 2000 meters deep, is the deepest and most romantic gift he gave to his motherland …

Released today"model of the times"figure

It’s kind of cool.

He not only likes reading martial arts novels.

I also practiced iron sand palm.

Not only playing the violin,

He is also a "romantic expert" who has spoiled his wife for more than 30 years.

He is.Wanbuyan

Not only is the name like "Wulin Master"

True identity is in the field of seabed exploration.

Top player!

We all know

The ocean is rich in resources.

As early as the 1980s.

When developed countries have "raced around" on the high seas,

However, China is backward in marine technology

Can only look at the ocean and sigh

In 2003, Chinese developed it himself.

The first deep-sea shallow formation core sampling drilling rig

Turned out

It not only completely broke the seabed geological exploration drilling rig

The history of monopoly by developed countries

More creative and refreshing

The drilling depth in the world has laid the foundation.

It has realized China’s exploration in the field of seabed.

Major technological breakthrough

Many people can’t believe it.

Ordinary as you and me.

Like singing, walking and watching the stars.

It turned out to be the one who drilled in the deep sea of more than 2,000 meters.

The "peerless master" who took out the seabed core — —

Chief scientist of China Manatee Project.

01

1964

Wan Buyan was born in the countryside of Huarong County, Hunan Province.

Because grandpa is a revolutionary martyr.

Even in the years when food is scarce and life is difficult.

Wanjia receives a gift from the state every year.

Relief grain for 600 Jin of millet

At that time, Wan Buyan, who was still young.

I don’t understand that grandpa can put it into life

What exactly are ideals and beliefs?

But this 600-pound relief food is actually real.

Give him a man who can fill his stomach,

A childhood that can fully release one’s nature

Wan Buyan’s mischievousness is famous in the village.

Go down the river, climb trees and dig out bird’s nests.

His intelligence and practical ability are strong.

Is to let the adults cooing:

Homemade slingshots, small pistols

Even use the village scrapped.

Telephone and flashlight bulbs

Set up a small lighting grid.

I once went to the supply and marketing cooperative with my mother.

See the Xinhua Dictionary in the window.

He just lay on the ground and rolled around and insisted on buying it back.

This Xinhua Dictionary is like a fan.

The gateway to a new world

Let him fall in love with reading and astronomy.

Thinking about things that can fly to the sky all day.

In 1978, Wan Buyan, who just turned 14.

With excellent results

Entered the Geology Department of Central South Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

Prospecting engineering specialty

In 1985, Wan Buyan graduated from graduate school.

I heard Changsha Mining Research Institute.

To set up the first marine mining laboratory in China

And go to the bottom of the sea to mine

At the age of 21, he was the first to sign up.

that’s it

Wan Buyan who failed to "take the moon for nine days"

With the opportunity of "going to the five oceans to catch turtles"

And this is more than 30 years!

02

In 1992, Wan Buyan

Invited to Japan to carry out marine technology cooperation research.

Facing the situation of being far behind others.

Japanese personnel often mercilessly.

Expressing disapproval of Chinese

My heart is like an inflammation with a thorn.

Study hard with all one’s strength

A year later.

He was not only highly praised by the Japanese side.

But also received it.

A high-paying invitation of $2,500 a month

Faced with wages nearly 100 times higher than those in China.

Wan Buyan is very proud inside.

This proves the ability of China technicians.

Not worse than foreigners at all.

But his choice to return to China is even more firm:

The progress of science and technology, the strength of the country

It is inseparable from everyone’s efforts and struggles.

In 1998, 34-year-old Wan Buyan

Finally boarded the ocean research ship for the first time.

However, what I saw on the boat

It stung him deeply again — —

"All instruments and equipment,

Even a small steel pipe for this sample.

They are all imported. "

What makes him even more distressed is that

It costs hundreds of thousands of yuan for a scientific research ship to run at sea for one day.

Can work at sea for several months.

None of the samples were successfully obtained.

At that time, China has been from the International Seabed Authority.

Applied for an area in the Pacific Ocean.

If the information cannot be submitted within the time limit

You lose priority.

Facing the needs of the country and the unwillingness of others

Wan Buyan made up his mind:

We must develop our own in five years.

Deep sea drilling equipment

At that time, many experts thought that

China can take the "foreign road" step by step.

It’s already very good

Wan Buyan put forward:

If you want to do it, do the best!

In the face of foreign technology blockade

Wan Buyan bites his teeth.

Take the team to tackle technical problems one by one.

April 2003

Wan Buyan finally led the team to create

Chinese’s own.

Deep-sea shallow formation core sampling drilling rig

On the day of the sea trial, he personally operated the drilling rig.

Almost hold your breath.

Put the rig on the seabed bit by bit.

The process of tripping in lasted for half an hour.

Everyone stared nervously at the data in the control room.

Although only 0.7 meters.

But this isChinese’s own deep-sea drilling rig

The first hole in the Pacific Ocean!

At that moment, everyone hugged and cried and laughed.

Wan Buyan, who seldom drinks alcohol at ordinary times.

Drunk as a fiddle

For this moment

For the 0.7 meters drilled under the sea floor

He struggled for 18 years.

Start from scratch again and again

Return to zero and restart again and again

Finally at the bottom of the dark sea

Out of a

China road that no one has ever taken.

03

From the seabed surface to a depth of several hundred meters.

There is a kind of strategic significance in it.

Future energy — — combustible ice

however

The storage conditions of combustible ice are extremely harsh.

At that time, because there was no relevant technology.

China can only rent foreign drilling ships.

Not only is it expensive to go to sea

It also faces the distribution of combustible ice reserves in China’s high seas.

The huge risk first mastered by foreign countries

"The resources of our country,

But I don’t have my own technology to mine! "

In order to get rid of the dilemma as soon as possible

Wan Buyan made another bold decision:

If you want to do it, make it represent the wisdom of China.

Equipment that can really lead the world!

In order to explore a set of innovative paths

Wan Buyan is holding a malicious strength.

In the factory with team members

Control every detail to the extreme

Test over and over again

For six years.

He led the team to try hundreds of methods.

26 materials have been tested.

Five iterative upgrades have been made.

Finally created one for the deep sea of China.

An unparalleled "underwater beast" — —

7.6 meters high, 10 meters around the waist and weighing 12 tons

"Manatee II"

March 2021

Wan Buyan took his "Manatee II"

Send a gauntlet to the 2000-meter deep sea

As long as this manatee can show its great power at the bottom of the sea.

Deep-sea exploration in China can really be technically

Leading the world and overtaking in corners

However, just as the test went smoothly.

Suddenly there was a loud noise at sea — —

The reducer of marine winch was seriously damaged.

At this point, "Manatee II"

Suspended in the deep sea of nearly 1000 meters

Can’t put it away, can’t put it down.

Seeing that 48 hours later,

A strong typhoon is about to pass

If the winch can’t be repaired in time

You have to cut the cable.

Had to spend years researching and developing,

The manatee II, worth tens of millions of yuan, was buried at the bottom of the sea.

Watch the time pass by.

Everyone tried every means to declare failure.

There is only silence on the whole scientific research ship.

At this time, the distance from the typhoon arrived.

There are less than 30 hours left.

When everyone is ready to give up.

Wan Buyan walked out of the room with a drawn drawing.

Say to everyone:

We can temporarily build a hydraulic system.

Wan Bu Yan stood on the deck.

Facing the strong wind, personally direct the operation.

Finally, from the arrival of the typhoon

In less than two hours.

The manatee beast was finally successfully recovered.

April 7, 2021

Wan Buyan took "Manatee II"

Challenge the 2000-meter deep sea again.

With everyone watching.

"Manatee II" slowly entered the sea and did not enter the deep blue.

Two and a half hours later

It reached the bottom of the sea at a depth of 2060 meters.

"1m, 60m, 100m … …”

Wan Buyan concentrated on controlling the drilling rig.

Drill down deeply

For more than 20 hours

Wan Buyan, 57, hardly slept a wink.

When the depth of the drill bit reaches 228m and 229m … …

When it finally stays at 231 meters.

Wan Buyan couldn’t help blushing.

From 0.7 meters to 231 meters

From pushing open a crack in the deep sea

To open the deep sea door

From looking back to achieving technological transcendence

This 231 meters, Wan Buyan walked for more than 20 years.

It is also at this moment.

He finally pulled it out

Technological backwardness is a thorn deeply rooted in my heart for many years.

Others did it.

We can do it, too

What others haven’t done yet

We may do it before others!

04

All kinds of inflammation in life

Is a very romantic person.

Play a song "The Moon Represents My Heart"

Violin

It was his deepest confession to his wife.

Singing is his lifelong hobby.

Not only is karaoke installed at home.

Even the theory of music has been studied clearly by him.

When not busy

Take a walk and play table tennis with your wife.

Look at the stars in front of the telescope

It is the moment when he enjoys life the most.

Even with students.

In the days of offshore exploration

He often takes everyone with him.

Look up at the stars together

Immersed in the stars all over the sky together

And the depth of the sea

Whenever this time

He always can’t help but sigh:

One’s whole life

In fact, it is the moment when the stars blink.

Our eyes are on the sea of stars.

But every step we take

Be sure to keep your feet on the ground

Wan Buyan, who is 59 years old this year.

Although it is already gray at the temples.

The light in the eyes is brighter and firmer.

"Towards a deep blue ocean dream.

Is my Chinese dream.

The more difficult it is,

The more excited I am, the more I want to challenge it.

Every successful research and development has made me feel particularly fulfilled.

That kind of happiness and joy

Just like when I was a kid "

Speaking of dreams

Wan Buyan seems to have changed back to that.

Holding a copy of Xinhua Dictionary.

With dreams and curiosity

A teenager who longs for heaven and sea.

Yes, when you choose to go forward.

Dreams will eventually take you far away.

Love will definitely light up the future!

As Wan Buyan often says:

"Down-to-earth, look up at the stars!"

We in Chinese are capable and wise.

Can be a treasure house of knowledge for all mankind

Contribute our share of China’s strength!

At nine o’clock tonight

Pay attention together
