"Peacock Blue" Blooming on the Road to Strengthening the Army - Bai Xiaoying, a civilian staff member of the Academy of Military Sciences, is like a rushing waterfall, with sparkling data flowing on the computer screen. A pair of bright eyes focused on all of this, a pair of slender hands typing on the keyboard like flowing clouds... This is the daily work of Bai Xiaoying, Deputy Director and Researcher of the Military Science Information Research Center of the Academy of Military Sciences - silently fighting on the "digital battlefield" without gunpowder. As an expert in computer software engineering, data engineering, and other fields, Bai Xiaoying promotes the solution of a series of technical difficulties and makes important contributions to empowering the combat effectiveness of the army with data. The reporter asked Bai Xiaoying to summarize her work in one sentence. She smiled slightly and blurted out, "Let machines and data help military officers and soldiers do their work better and faster!" Like a thriving tree and a blooming flower, the reporter saw the "golden age" on this 50 year old military civilian. Bai Xiaoying visits Qian Xuesen's office. "This sense of mission that is needed by the motherland and the military is happiness, and it cannot be bought by high salaries," said Wang Jun, a journalist from the People's Liberation Army Daily. The warm winter sun slanted into Bai Xiaoying's office, casting a warm afterglow on her "peacock blue" uniform. When reporters tried to find a suitable entry point from identity tags such as "military civilian personnel", "high-level talents", "associate professors at Tsinghua University", "overseas scholars", and "computer experts", Bai Xiaoying took the initiative to start with a childhood "toy". Thinking back to the warm winter days many years ago. That day, my father brought back a small computer as a gift to Bai Xiaoying, who was still a primary school student. The first time she touched the "big toy" of the computer, she had an unprecedented passion and often played for half a day. Later, she even used it to create several programming works. Since childhood, Bai Xiaoying grew up in a military industrial complex. The spirit of dedicating oneself to building a strong national defense among the military workers of her father's generation was nurtured and rooted in her heart early on. After graduating from high school, Bai Xiaoying was admitted to the Computer Science Department of Northwestern Polytechnical University, and later pursued further studies at Beihang University. In order to learn internationally leading computer technology, Bai Xiaoying chose to pursue a doctoral degree. After completing her studies, she politely refused to be hired by her supervisor or by the company with high salaries. Since 2002, Bai Xiaoying has been teaching at Tsinghua University and has carried out teaching and research work in software engineering, data engineering, and other fields. She has obtained multiple national invention patents and software copyrights, becoming a well-known expert with academic influence in this field. Change arises from a chance opportunity. It is said that the newly adjusted Military Science Academy is actively recruiting talents from society, and Bai Xiaoying's deep-seated "technology strong military" sentiment has been awakened - modern warfare is about information, data, and intelligence. These are exactly her areas of expertise. "This sense of mission, which is needed by the motherland and the military, is happy and cannot be bought by high salaries." Bai Xiaoying jumped from Tsinghua University and joined the civilian personnel team of the Academy of Military Sciences as a high-level talent, becoming a member of the "Peacock Blue" in the military. Looking back on this experience, Bai Xiaoying said, "Entering the military camp gave me a bigger platform for my career."
