Starting, accelerating, sprinting... Every time he crosses the finish line of a marathon race, Wang Li always feels a sense of accomplishment in enjoying running. Footsteps measure dreams, footprints witness growth. As an amateur marathon enthusiast, Wang Li firmly believes that "with the perseverance under his feet, there will definitely be long-term achievements.". In his heart, running a journey with great effort and experiencing different landscapes is a particularly meaningful thing. "Running can teach a person self-discipline." In Wang Li's view, stepping onto the marathon track, while sweating profusely, not only gains a strong body, but also the courage to challenge limits. In running, every time he surpasses a player, it will bring more confidence and motivation to Wang Li. This persistence is also reflected in Wang Li's military career, inspiring him to always maintain a fighting spirit, whether in good or bad times. As the captain of the minesweeper squadron at a naval base in the Southern Theater Command and a first-class sergeant, Wang Li has now added a resounding title: "Unit Expert". Last year, "Marine Engineer" Wang Li was officially appointed as a "military expert" by the Naval Non commissioned Officer School. This is the glory of a soldier, and also a microcosm of the solid results achieved by the brigade in deeply implementing the strategy of building a strong military with talents in the new era. On the way to becoming an "expert" technical backbone, Wang Li has been accelerating like participating in a marathon race. Following the footsteps of struggle and standing at a new starting point, Wang Li witnessed the rapid transformation of the army time and time again, hearing the sound of dream flowers blooming. "Only by stepping on every step can I run faster and farther." The school's hiring is the greatest affirmation and praise for me. I will actively play to my strengths, continuously improve my skills, and not disappoint the school's expectations. Last year, Wang Li was officially hired as a "military specialist" by the Naval Non commissioned Officer School. Being favored by military academies, Wang Li became a "leader" in the professional field, and for a while, various praises flooded in, ushering in a "shining moment" in his military career. As an amateur marathon enthusiast, in Wang Li's view, his over 20 years of mine sweeping work is like running continuously on the marathon track. The scene of Wang Li's first encounter with mines is still vivid in his memory. In 2001, Wang Li, who was studying mine sweeping at the Naval Non commissioned Officer School, was first introduced to mines by his instructor when he was aroused by the dark "iron guy". "This" iron guy "can easily blow up a thousand ton warship in two, it's unbelievable!" Anti mine is one of the recognized challenges of the world's navies and is a field that navies of various countries want to seek breakthroughs in. Wang Li's dream is to build himself into a "key" to solving the problem of anti mine warfare. Driven by his interests and dreams, he completed his studies with excellent grades. Upon returning from his studies, Wang Li was eager to showcase his skills on the grassroots stage, but reality poured cold water on him. For the first time participating in mine sweeping training, he lacked operational experience and was flustered, almost damaging mine sweeping equipment. The defeat in the first battle made Wang Li very frustrated. "The battle hero Guo Yudong used his body to block the loophole in the ship until he sacrificed himself, and did not move a step, earning him the reputation of 'Huang Jiguang at sea'..." At the naval battle cultural park of the brigade, when he heard the old squad leader tell the story of his predecessors' heroic battles, Wang Li suddenly understood: 'To clear mines, you need to have a strong drive to gnaw on hard bones!' To dispel impatience, Wang Lijing focused on laying a solid foundation and meticulously learning to control equipment. Not long after, Wang Li successfully completed the sea training and maneuvering subject, becoming the first soldier of the same year to pass the independent duty assessment. In 2008, the superior held a professional competition. Unlike before, this competition has added a dismantling and assembling blasting cutter project, which is a difficult problem that many top players have been afraid of. After repeated practice and exploration, Wang Li found that as long as the steel ball in the firing mechanism is stable, several disassembly and assembly steps can be eliminated, greatly reducing the operation time. "The blasting cutter is worn out, please disassemble and replace it!" On the day of the martial arts competition, the assessment team gave a command, and Wang Li quickly adjusted his breathing. The muscle memory formed through hard training made his hands follow his heart, and the disassembly and assembly movements were completed in one go. "Disassembly and assembly completed!" Wang Yili reported to complete the assessment first, and his far leading performance impressed the examiner with this newcomer. In the end, Wang Li ranked first in the overall score and set a new record for the competition. After returning from the competition, Wang Li was not immersed in the joy of victory. He immediately sorted out his training and competition experience. After argumentation, these experiences are promoted in the base. "If you run too fast in the front, you won't be able to run far behind." From being defeated in the first battle to winning the championship in the martial arts competition, Wang Li deeply realized that "if the military is a long-distance race, only by stepping on every step can they run faster and farther." "Seize every opportunity to 'recharge', strive to catch up, and not fall behind." That year, the army changed to a new type of minesweeper for sea training. Preparation, deployment, and electrification... Wang Li launched an attack on the target mine in accordance with his previous proficient mine sweeping work mode. Unexpectedly, after multiple attempts, the mine remained motionless. I changed my equipment but couldn't achieve good results. Wang Li's failed experience of clearing mines after the new ship was launched is still unforgettable. In recent years, the transformation and construction of the military has entered a "fast lane", with the upgrading and upgrading of ships and the increasing technological content of equipment. Wang Li and his comrades feel unprecedented panic about their abilities. Wang Li is clear that in the face of the new wave of military change, he cannot slack off for a moment and must race against time to catch up. According to the growth plan and talent cultivation project for sergeants in the battalion, including Wang Li, key members of the sergeant team have been selected multiple times for training in equipment manufacturers and colleges, encouraging them to work hard to learn new knowledge, master new methods and skills, and accelerate the transformation of the sergeant talent team. "Seize every opportunity to 'recharge', strive to catch up, and not fall behind." During the training period, Wang Li humbly sought advice from the factory experts and took a thick stack of notes. Returning to the workplace, Wang Li, who had a new mindset, understood that the method of "packing old wine in new bottles" was not feasible. Since then, under the leadership of the captain, Wang Li has been constantly exploring new mine sweeping tactics based on the characteristics of the new equipment. During a mine sweeping training session, as the location of the mine approached, Wang Li's heart lifted to his throat. Unexpectedly, the mine remained motionless. Just as everyone questioned the effectiveness of the new warfare method, Wang Li firmly believed that the mine sweeping method was not a problem. Driving out of the minefield, after careful inspection, Wang Li quickly discovered that it was due to equipment settings. After resetting, the ship entered the minefield again, and with a huge water column rising from the sea, the mine was successfully cleared, and the newly equipped minesweeping method was tested in practical combat. The scene suddenly erupted with cheers. Over the years, Wang Li has led his comrades to overcome difficulties time and time again, successfully breaking through each technical bottleneck. In 2020, a certain type of mine sweeping equipment from the brigade was sent to a research institute for upgrading and renovation. During the signal debugging phase, a subsystem malfunctioned and the technical personnel called the brigade to request the dispatch of a technical backbone to assist them. The brigade leader immediately recommended Wang Li. The signal of this type of minesweeper is transmitted from where to where, and then transferred to where, without having to look at the blueprint, Wang Li knows it clearly. After careful on-site investigation, relying on his understanding of the equipment, he identified the cause of the malfunction in just half an hour and quickly resolved it. Wang Li's performance has won recognition and praise from on-site technical personnel. He said, "Only by constantly updating our concepts and upgrading our capabilities can we strive to be the first to accelerate the iteration and upgrading of combat effectiveness." "Only by gritting our teeth and persevering to the end can we taste the taste of victory." In August 2020, a new type of mine was successfully swept away in a certain sea area. "The new guy is truly extraordinary, with a lot of noise and excitement." When the news came, the officers and soldiers were excited and praised Wang Li one after another. This is a difficult technical breakthrough. A few months ago, the squadron organized ships to launch a campaign against this new type of mine, changing search methods, changing minesweeping equipment, and changing minesweeping work modes... During the training, Wang Li led his team members to do everything they could, but they were still unable to sweep and detonate the mine. At the training review meeting, some people believed that the current mine sweeping equipment does not meet the relevant technical requirements. At the meeting, Wang Li did not make a statement, but he secretly swore to himself, "to gnaw down this hard bone.". "The research direction needs to shift from studying mine sweeping to studying mines." After a night run, Wang Li had an idea. "To break the 'shield', we need to study the details of the 'shield' thoroughly." With the coordination of multiple parties in the team, Wang Li used the opportunity to go on business trips and attend meetings in universities, research institutes, and factories to seek advice from university professors and learn from factory experts, seizing every opportunity to collect information on new types of mines. Returning to the army, the brigade established a research group with Wang Li as the backbone to tackle the problem. Under his leadership, after more than three months of sorting, research, and actual mine testing, the officers and soldiers of the brigade further understood the performance of the new mine. When it's most difficult, gritting your teeth and persevering to the end is the secret to Wang Li's success in running a marathon. In order to find a solution, Wang Li combined the current situation of the mine sweeping equipment in his unit, conducted extensive data analysis, repeated exploration, and finally developed a suitable mine sweeping method through debugging. "Whether it can be scanned or not, and whether it has any effect, ultimately depends on practical testing." On the day of the training, with the careful cooperation of the entire ship's officers and soldiers, the long-awaited loud bang arrived as scheduled. That scene is still unforgettable by Wang Li: with a loud bang, a huge shockwave shook in the sea, and a white "small hill" first surged out of the sea. Then, more than 30 meters of water rose up, like a pure white "water lotus" blooming between the sea and the sky. "Only by gritting your teeth and persevering to the end can you taste the taste of victory." Looking at the surging waves on the sea, Wang Li enjoyed the thrill of victory after all the hardships. On the way back, according to naval etiquette, the approaching destroyer honked its horn to pay tribute to Wang Li's minesweeper. This special "courtesy" made Wang Li feel the glory of his position as a minesweeper and strengthened his determination to make achievements in the army. "Putting oneself in the leading position is the most powerful mobilization." Recently, the brigade organized a teaching method training, and Corporal Liu Shenglong walked up to the teaching and research room podium as a professional mentor to impart professional knowledge to the officers and soldiers. Liu Shenglong's professional teaching was praised by the officers and soldiers: "The apprentices brought by Wang Li have excellent professional qualities!" Like Wang Li, Liu Shenglong was also the first soldier in the same year to pass independent duty assessment and gradually grew into a technical backbone on board. Seeing the progress of his disciple, Wang Li was very pleased, as if he had seen himself in his youth. "Captain Wang is a 'leader' in the professional field and has also been hired as a 'military expert' by the Naval Non commissioned Officer School, which is my learning and pursuit goal." Liu Shenglong said, "I hope to keep up with my master and lead the way with him as soon as possible." In 2020, during his first sea mine sweeping training, Liu Shenglong carefully operated the mine sweeping equipment according to Wang Lijiao's steps. However, after entering the water, the mine sweeping equipment could not reach the set depth. At that time, he mistakenly thought that his improper operation had damaged the mine sweeping equipment, and he panicked instantly. "Abnormal posture of the horizontal rudder." After recycling the minesweeper, Wang Li immediately pointed out the problem and guided Liu Shenglong to quickly troubleshoot. Afterwards, in response to Liu Shenglong's shortcomings in professional theory, Wang Li provided careful guidance and assistance. After a period of time, Liu Shenglong's theoretical foundation became more solid, and faults were eliminated
